Therefore, the lock pins 4 can be placed on the storage mechanism 1 in a fixed posture, the lock pins 4 in subsequent operation can be conveniently sorted, and the lock pins are not placed in the lock pin 4 frame like disorder in the prior art.

Further, the storage mechanism 1 of the present application further includes a carrying unit 12, and the carrying unit 12 is provided on the pin storage tray 10 and is connected to the external device 3 so that the external device 3 carries the storage mechanism 1 through the carrying unit 12. The carrying part 12 is exemplified by a hole or a handle. Fig. 1 and 2 show that the conveyance unit 12 is a hole. The present application is not so limited and the hole and handle design on the latch storage tray 10 depends on the carrier style of the external device 3 (i.e., carrier mechanism). In some possible embodiments, the carrying portion 12 may be in other forms, such as a magnet structure, and the external device 3 attracts the storage mechanism 1 of the lock pins 4 through the magnet structure to carry the storage mechanism 1 of the lock pins 4.

Illustratively, the holes or the handles are respectively multiple and located on the same circumference, the center of the circumference (indicated by the point O in fig. 1) coincides with the center of the storage disk of the locking pin 4, and the holes or the handles do not interfere with the storage hole 11 and the locking pin 4. In fig. 1, four holes are symmetrically distributed at the central circumferential position of the locking pin storage disk 10. The number of holes is not limited to this, and may be selected according to the carrier model of the external device 3.

In some possible embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the locking pin storage plate 10 of the present application is provided with two rows of storage holes, the two rows of storage holes are spaced apart along the width direction (shown in the X direction in fig. 1) of the locking pin storage plate 10, each row of storage holes extends along the length direction (shown in the Y direction in fig. 1) of the locking pin storage plate 10, and includes three storage holes 11 spaced apart along the length direction. Equivalently, six storage holes 11 are formed in the latch storage plate 10. Three storage holes 11 of every row of storage hole are equidistantly distributed for six storage holes 11 are orderly arranged, and the lockpin 4 can be placed in a fixed posture. The provision of six storage apertures improves the storage efficiency of the locking pin 4. However, the number of the storage holes 11 is not limited in the present application, and the storage holes may be selected and designed accordingly according to the storage requirement of time. For example, the locking pin storage plate 10 is provided with eight storage holes 11 or ten storage holes 11.

Referring to fig. 2, the bottom of the latch storing tray 10 is provided with a supporting portion 13 for stacking two adjacent latch storing trays 10 in a height direction (shown in a Z direction in fig. 2), wherein the latches 4 stored on the two adjacent latch storing trays 10 correspond one to one in the height direction. That is, the latches 4 stored on the adjacent two latch storage trays 10 are aligned in the height direction. A plurality of pin storage trays 10 may be stacked in order to form a plurality of sets of storage stacks 2 around an external apparatus 3 described later. One or more sets of supports 13 may be designed to allow stacking between latch storage discs 10. As shown in fig. 2, the present application provides a storage stack 2 of locking pins 4 comprising: in a plurality of the storage mechanisms 1 described in any of the above embodiments stacked together in the height direction (shown in the Z direction in fig. 2), the latch storage plates 10 of two adjacent storage mechanisms 1 are stacked together in the height direction.

As shown in fig. 3, the present application also provides a storage centre for a lock pin 4 comprising a plurality of seats, one of which is an empty seat and the remaining seats are for a stored stack 2 as described in the previous embodiments. And an external device 3, wherein the external device 3 is used for connecting with the carrying part 12, the external device 3 carries the storage mechanism 1 to a set position so as to store the lock pins 4 on the lock pin storage disc 10, and after the lock pin storage disc 10 stores the full lock pins 4, the external device 3 carries the storage mechanism 1 to an empty stacking position.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, a plurality of pin storage trays 10 may be stacked in order to form a plurality of stacks around the external device 3. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the external apparatus 3 surrounding the lock pin storage trays 10 is divided into six crenels (shown in fig. 3): to ((shown)) each crenels is stacked with twelve lock pin storage trays 10, storing seventy-two lock pin storage trays 10 in total. The latch storage disk 10 is made strictly uniform in size. However, the present application does not limit this, and may make a corresponding selection according to the actual storage requirement. For example, in some possible embodiments, ten locking pin storage trays 10 are stacked per stack.

For example, the external device 3 is currently an industrial universal six-axis robot, but is not limited thereto, and any structure capable of carrying the external device falls within the scope of the present application. For example, the external device is a traveling vehicle, and has a function of moving in six directions, i.e., forward and backward, leftward and rightward, and high and low.

Illustratively, five of six stacking positions are full of stacked lock pin storage discs 10, the other stacking position (shown as (e.g.,)) is an empty stack and is not full of stacked lock pin storage discs 10, so that the six stacking positions can be flexibly scheduled to realize automatic operation. And because the lockpin storage discs 10 are orderly stacked, the spatial position of each lockpin storage disc 10 can be calculated according to the mechanical size of the lockpin storage discs 10, and the lockpin storage discs are directly led into a control system of the external equipment 3 to form a database, so that automatic operation can be carried out, and the operation efficiency is improved.

Illustratively, referring to FIG. 2, the latch storage tray 10 of the present application has a stack height (shown as H in FIG. 2) of 240mm to 260mm, including 240mm and 260mm, for example 250 mm. The size can ensure that when the lock pin storage discs 10 are stacked in the height direction, the lock pins 4 stored on two adjacent lock pin storage discs 10 can be directly stacked, and the lock pins 4 stored on the two adjacent lock pin storage discs 10 are aligned in the height direction, so that the lock pins 4 cannot be interfered up and down due to the arrangement of the lock pins 4 on the lock pin storage discs 10.

As shown in FIG. 3, the latch storage disk 10 of the present application has lengthwise dimensions of 900mm to 1100mm, including 900mm and 1100 mm. The central point of the base of the external device 3 of the lock pin storage disc 10 is used as the origin of coordinates, so that each lock pin storage disc 10 (central position) has spatial three-dimensional coordinates and can regularly follow each other, and the operation of a carrying mechanism is convenient.

It can be seen from fig. 3 that the height of a single lock pin storage disk 10 is 200mm, the width is 1000mm, and the coordinate space of each lock pin storage disk 10 can be easily obtained by a software debugger, and assuming that the bottommost lock pin storage disk 10 of the topmost stack position (shown as (r), for example) is disk number 1, the horizontal position is 0mm, the front-back position is 0mm, and the height position is 0mm, the position of disk number 2 (i.e., the lock pin storage disk 10 above disk number 1), the horizontal position is 0mm, the front-back position is 0mm, and the height position is 200 mm. Tray number 11 (namely next door buttress position bottommost lockpin storage disc 10 in tray number 1 right side), the horizontal position is 1000mm, and the front and back position is 0mm, and the high position is 0 mm. The 31 # disc (namely the bottommost lock pin storage disc 10 at the stack position opposite to the 1 # disc) is horizontally positioned at 0mm, and is 2500mm in front and back positions and 0mm in height position.

The central positions and the stacking heights of the six stacking positions meet the operating radius of the external equipment 3, and theoretically, the number of the stacking positions can be increased by increasing the number of the external equipment 3 or increasing the operating radius of the single external equipment. When six stacks are in operation, one stack (shown as (e.g.,)) is empty, no latch storage tray 10 is placed, and the other five stacks are full. Assuming that five full stacks (twelve pin storage trays 10 are stacked per stack for example) and that all are empty (no pins 4 are stored on the pin storage trays 10), the external device 3 moves from the production line to a full pin storage tray 10, needs to be placed at the very bottom of the empty stack, first in and then out, and then returns an empty tray (empty pin storage tray 10) in the next full stack to the production line. This was repeated twelve times. The full stack (the stack position at which the lock pin storage trays 10 are stacked) becomes an empty stack (the stack position at which the lock pin storage trays 10 are not stacked), the empty stack becomes a full stack and all the trays are full (the lock pin storage trays 10 store full storage lock pins 4).

The scheme has the advantages that empty discs and full discs or non-empty discs and non-full discs from a production line can be handled in time, the position of each lock pin storage disc 10 can be known in the storage mechanism 1, the number and the types of the lock pins 4 entering each lock pin storage disc 10 can be counted, and automatic operation is facilitated.

The number of crenels of the present application is not limited to six, and in some possible embodiments, with reference to fig. 4, seven crenels (shown in fig. 4 (r) to (c)) are provided around the external apparatus 3. Also, of these positions, one is left empty. For example, six of the seven crenels are full of lock pin storage trays 10 and the other crenels (e.g., shown as yes) are empty. The process of stacking the locking pin storage trays 10 is described above with reference to the six palletised positions and will not be described in detail.

In some possible embodiments, when the external device 3 uses a traveler, the number of crenels may be augmented depending on the length of the traveler track.

While the utility model has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is a more detailed description of the utility model, taken in conjunction with the specific embodiments thereof, and that no limitation of the utility model is intended thereby. Various changes in form and detail, including simple deductions or substitutions, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model.
