FIG. 1A shows a schematic of an exemplary container 100 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1B shows a schematic view of the internal structure of an exemplary container 100 provided by an embodiment of the utility model.
As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a freight container 100 may include a cabinet 102 and a plurality of storage compartments (e.g., storage compartments 104 a-104 c) disposed within the cabinet 102 for holding items. The storage bins 104 a-104 c may be used to store various items and may be moved and dispatched by a corresponding mechanism within the cabinet 102. It is understood that the number of storage tanks disposed in the freight container 100 is not limited to 3, but may be more or less, depending on the size of the freight container 100 and the size of the storage tanks, and the specific number is set as desired and is not limited herein.
The cabinet 102 may include oppositely disposed first and second sidewalls 1022, 1024. A plurality of placement locations (e.g., placement locations 106 a-106 c) for placing storage bins may be provided on the inner surface of the first side wall 1022.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1B, the placement locations 106 a-106 c may be flanked by mounts 1062 a-1062 c. The fixing brackets 1062a to 1062c may be provided with slots (not shown) for fixing the storage boxes 104a to 104 c. FIG. 1C shows a schematic view of a storage compartment 104a according to an embodiment of the utility model. For example, as shown in fig. 1C, hooks 1042a may be disposed on both sides of the storage box 104 a. FIG. 1D shows an enlarged schematic view of the location of the placement site 106a of the pallet 100 of FIG. 1B. For example, as shown in FIG. 1D, the storage compartment 104a can be secured in the placement location 106a by snap-fitting the hooks 1042a into the slots 1064a of the fixture. Through joint complex mode, be convenient for transport mechanism to the placing and taking of storage tank. In some embodiments, taking the example of FIG. 1C as an example, the cross-sectional shape of the hook 1042a can be L-shaped, and as shown in FIG. 1D, the cross-sectional shape of the slot 1064a can be wedge-shaped. Thus, the slot 1064a has a structure with a wide top and a narrow bottom, so that the hook 1042a can be easily engaged therewith, and when the hook 1042a continues to move downward, the hook can be tightly engaged with the narrow portion of the slot 1064a to be fixed.
In some embodiments, taking fig. 1D as an example, the upper surface of the fixing frame 1062a may be provided with a first fixing pin 1066a, the hook 1042a may be provided with a first hole 1044a, and when the storage box 104a is fixed in the placing position 106a, the first fixing pin 1066a is fastened and fixed with the first hole 1044a, so as to further ensure the position of the storage box 104a in the placing position 106a is fixed, and improve the stability. The number of fixation pins and openings shown in the figures is two, it being understood that the number of fixation pins and openings may also be increased, depending on the actual requirements, e.g. for stability reasons.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1B, the placement locations 106a to 106c may further be provided with brackets 1068a to 1068c, respectively, and when the storage boxes 104a to 104c are fixed in the placement locations 106a to 106c, the brackets 1068a to 1068c are used for supporting the storage boxes 104a to 104c, so as to prevent the storage boxes 104a to 104c from falling from the placement locations 106a to 106 c.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1B, the arrangement of the plurality of placement locations 106 a-106 c is vertical, and the tray (e.g., 1068a) of an upper placement location (e.g., placement location 106a) may also serve as a top stop for an adjacent lower placement location (e.g., placement location 106B). The top flap may provide a raised height of the storage bin in the storage position when the storage bin is placed. The design also saves the inner space of the cabinet 102, so that the structure is compact.
To accomplish the movement and scheduling of the storage bins 104 a-104 c within the container 100, the container 100 can also include a first conveying mechanism 108 and a second conveying mechanism 110, as shown in FIG. 1B. The first transfer mechanism 108 may be disposed on one side of the placement locations 106 a-106 c and may be configured to move the bins 104 a-104 c in the first transfer direction 202. As shown in fig. 1B, the first transfer direction 202 may coincide with the arrangement direction of the plurality of placement bits 106a to 106 c. The second transport mechanism 110, which may be disposed on the first transport mechanism 108, may be configured to carry the bins 104 a-104 c and may be movable in a first transport direction 202, and to move the bins 104 a-104 c into the placement positions 106 a-106 c or to remove the bins 104 a-104 c from the placement positions 106 a-106 c in a second transport direction 204 when aligned with the placement positions 106 a-106 c. Thus, the first conveying mechanism 108 and the second conveying mechanism 110 move the storage boxes 104a to 104c in the first conveying direction 202 and the second conveying direction 204, thereby achieving the purpose of moving and dispatching the storage boxes 104a to 104c among the placement positions 106a to 106c of the container 100.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1B, the first transport mechanism 108 may further include a guide rail 1082 and a traction mechanism 1084. The guide rail 1082 may be used to provide a guide for the second transfer mechanism 110 to move such that the second transfer mechanism 110 can only move in the first transfer direction 202 in the vertical direction. The traction mechanism 1084 may be used to provide motive force for movement of the second conveyance mechanism 110 in the first conveyance direction 202 such that the second conveyance mechanism 110 is capable of moving in the first conveyance direction 202 under the motive force. As shown in fig. 1B, traction mechanism 1084 may include a traction rope/belt to which second conveyance mechanism 110 is fixedly coupled to move second conveyance mechanism 110 in first conveyance direction 202 as the traction rope/belt moves in first conveyance direction 202.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1B, the second transport mechanism 110 may further include a support frame 1102 and a mobile carriage 1104. The support frame 1102 may be disposed on the first conveying mechanism 108 (e.g., disposed on the guide rail 1082 of the first conveying mechanism 108) and may be movable along the first conveying direction 202 to move the second conveying mechanism as a whole along the first conveying direction 202. The moving bracket 1104 may be disposed on the support 1102 and movable in the second conveyance direction 204 and may be used to move the bins 104 a-104 c in the second conveyance direction 204 into the placement locations 106 a-106 c or out of the placement locations 106 a-106 c when the second conveyance mechanism 110 is aligned with the placement locations 106 a-106 c.
FIG. 1E shows an enlarged schematic view of the position of the second conveyance mechanism 110 of the rack 100 of FIG. 1B. As shown in fig. 1E, in some embodiments, the upper surface of the moving bracket 1104 may be provided with a second securing pin 1106. For example, as shown in fig. 1C, fixing protrusions 1046a may be disposed on two sides of the storage box 104a, and a second opening (not shown) may be disposed on a lower surface of the fixing protrusion 1046 a. The movable bracket 1104 can be fixed to the storage compartment 104a by engaging a second fixing pin 1106 with the second opening. Thus, after the storage box 104a is fixed to the moving bracket 1104, the moving bracket 1104 moves along the second conveying direction 204 to drive the storage box 104a to move. The number of fixation pins and openings shown in the figures is two, it being understood that the number of fixation pins and openings may also be increased, depending on the actual requirements, e.g. for stability reasons.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the container 100 can also include an access opening 112. The access opening 112 may be disposed on the second sidewall 1024 of the cabinet 102 for providing access for a person or machine to enter and exit.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1B, the container 100 can also include a pushing mechanism 114. The push mechanism 114 may be disposed on the first side wall 1022 at a location opposite the access opening 112 and may be used to push the items in the storage bins 104 a-104 c out of the access opening 112 when the storage bins 104 a-104 c are aligned with the access opening 112. FIG. 1F shows a schematic view of an exemplary pushing mechanism 114, according to an embodiment of the utility model. As shown in fig. 1F, the pushing mechanism 114 may be a mechanism having a two-stage telescopic structure. Thus, when the pushing mechanism 114 is retracted, the pushing mechanism 114 occupies a smaller space than a structure having only one stage of extension, which is beneficial to the layout of the internal space of the container 100. It is understood that the pushing mechanism 114 with two-stage telescopic structure is only exemplary, and it may be designed as three-stage telescopic structure or more telescopic structure if necessary, and the specific design may be selected according to actual needs.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1B, the container 100 can also include an access panel 116 and a push-pull mechanism 118. The fetching baffle 116 may be attached to the second sidewall 1024 for blocking or exposing the fetching opening. The push-pull mechanism 118 may be disposed on the second side wall 1024 and connected to the access barrier 116, and may be used to push or pull the access barrier 116 along the second side wall 1024 to block or uncover the access opening 112. When the push-pull mechanism 118 pushes the fetching baffle 116 out along the second side wall 1024, the fetching opening 112 is blocked by the fetching baffle 116, and when the push-pull mechanism 118 pulls the fetching baffle 116 up along the second side wall 1024, the fetching opening 112 is exposed, and a person or a machine can extend into or out of the fetching opening 112.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1C, the side of the storage box 104a facing the second side wall 1024 has a flap 1048a, and the pushing mechanism 114 can push the flap 1050a to extend into the storage box 104a to push the article in the storage box 104a out of the access opening 112. In some embodiments, the movable flap 1048a is a one-way flap, i.e., only movable toward the interior of the storage compartment and not movable toward the exterior of the storage compartment. Thus, articles in the storage box can be prevented from falling off in the moving process.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1A, the exterior surface of the second sidewall 1024 of the container 100 can also provide a display screen 120, a two-dimensional code scanning window 122, a concealed push-to-service door lock 124, and a detachable cabinet docking frame 126. The display 120 can display information about the cargo container 100, such as the storage status of the internal storage bins 104 a-104 c. The two-dimensional code scanning window 122 may be used to scan an externally provided two-dimensional code, which may contain information for authenticating an identity or extracting an item. The concealed push service door lock 124 may be opened when pushed for servicing by a worker. The detachable cabinet docking frame 126 may be used to dock with a robot that delivers items to bring items stored in the storage bins 104 a-104 c of the container 100 into the robot.
In some embodiments, the container 100 can further comprise a control unit (not shown in the figures) for providing control instructions and drive signals to the components of the container 100. For example, the first conveying mechanism 108, the second conveying mechanism 110, the pushing mechanism 114, and the pushing and pulling mechanism 118 may respectively include control motors, and the control unit may provide corresponding control commands or driving signals to the control motors, so that the control motors drive the components to perform corresponding operations.
In some embodiments, the control unit may be utilized to implement the dispatch of the storage bins. FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a method 300 of dispatching the storage compartments of a container 100 according to an embodiment of the utility model. The method 300 may be implemented by the control unit and may comprise the following steps.
In step 302, the control unit may receive an instruction to fetch or store. Wherein, the fetching instruction can be an instruction to fetch an object stored in a certain storage box of the container 100, and the storing instruction can be an instruction to store an object in a certain storage box of the container 100.
In step 304, the control unit may determine a corresponding target storage box according to the fetching instruction or the storage instruction. For example, when a fetching instruction is received, the fetching instruction may include information of which storage compartment the item to be fetched is stored in, so that the control unit may determine the corresponding target storage compartment. For another example, when the storage command is received, the control unit may confirm that any empty storage box is the target storage box according to information of currently known empty storage boxes.
At step 306, the control unit may control the first transport mechanism 108 (e.g., control a control motor that can drive the traction mechanism 1084) to move the second transport mechanism 110 to align the second transport mechanism 110 with a placement location at which the bin is to be placed (e.g., the placement location 106B at which the bin 104B of fig. 1B is to be placed).
At step 308, the control unit may control the second transfer mechanism 110 to remove a bin (e.g., bin 104B of fig. 1B) from a placement location (e.g., placement location 106B of fig. 1B).
In some embodiments, the control unit may further perform the following steps to implement step 308: responsive to the second transfer mechanism 110 being aligned with a placement location (e.g., placement location 106B of fig. 1B) at which a locker (e.g., locker 104B of fig. 1B) is placed, controlling movement of the moving bracket 1104 in the second transfer direction 204 toward the placement location at which the locker is placed; in response to the moving bracket 1104 moving to the first target position (the position shown in fig. 3A), controlling the first conveying mechanism 108 to drive the second conveying mechanism 110 to move upwards so as to drive the moving bracket 1104 to move upwards, so that the second fixing pin 1106 on the upper surface of the moving bracket 1104 is clamped and fixed with the second opening arranged on the lower surface of the fixing protrusion of the storage box, as shown in fig. 3B; continuously controlling the first conveying mechanism 108 to drive the second conveying mechanism 110 to move upwards so as to drive the movable support 1104 to move upwards, so that the first fixing pin of the placing position is separated from the first opening of the storage box; and controlling the moving bracket 1104 to move away from the placing position of the placing locker in the second conveying direction 204 so that the moving bracket 1104 can be retracted into the first conveying mechanism 108, as shown in fig. 3C. Therefore, the movable support is well aligned and fixed with the storage box, and the storage box is stably taken.
At step 310, the control unit may control the first transport mechanism 108 to move the second transport mechanism 110 to align the second transport mechanism 110 with the access opening 112, as shown in fig. 3D.
In response to receiving the access instruction, the control unit may control the pushing mechanism 114 to push the article in the storage bin out of the access opening 112 at step 312.
In response to receiving the storage command, the control unit may control the push-pull mechanism 118 to pull up the access flap 116 to expose the access opening 112, such that the article can be inserted from the outside to be placed in the storage box at step 314.
After the object taking or storage is completed, the control unit needs to put the storage box back to the original position. Therefore, the control unit may further perform the steps of:
controlling the first transfer mechanism 108 to move the second transfer mechanism 110 carrying the storage box to align the second transfer mechanism 110 with the empty placement position, as shown in fig. 3C;
controlling the second transfer mechanism 110 to move the storage box into the placing position; and
the first transfer mechanism 108 is controlled to move the second transfer mechanism 110 so as to return the second transfer mechanism 110 to the initial position.
In some embodiments, the control unit controls the second transfer mechanism to move the storage box into the placing position, and may be further realized by performing the following steps: in response to the second conveying mechanism 110 being aligned with the vacant placement position, the first conveying mechanism 108 is controlled to drive the second conveying mechanism 110 to move upwards so as to drive the movable support 1104 of the second conveying mechanism 110 to move upwards for a predetermined distance (which can be set according to actual needs, and preferably, the hook is higher than the grooved surface); controlling the moving bracket 1104 to move toward the vacant placing position in the second conveying direction 204; in response to the moving bracket 1104 moving to the second target position (the position shown in fig. 3B), controlling the first conveying mechanism 108 to drive the second conveying mechanism 110 to move downwards so as to drive the moving bracket 1104 to move downwards, so that the hook of the storage box is in clamping fit with the slot of the placing position; continuing to control the first conveying mechanism 108 to drive the second conveying mechanism 110 to move downwards so as to drive the moving bracket 1104 to move downwards, so that the second fixing pin of the moving bracket 1104 is separated from the second opening of the storage box, as shown in fig. 3A; and controlling the moving bracket 1104 to move away from the placing position of the placing locker in the second conveying direction 204 so that the moving bracket 1104 is retracted into the first conveying mechanism 108, as shown in fig. 1B.
By performing the above steps, the control unit completes the dispatching of the storage box.
It can be seen from the above embodiments that the container provided by the embodiment of the utility model stores the articles by arranging the storage box, thereby preventing the problems that the articles are difficult to take (due to different shapes of the articles) and the articles are easy to damage when the articles are directly taken, which are easily caused when the articles are directly stored.
Furthermore, the embodiment of the utility model also provides a better method for dispatching the storage box, so that the storage box can be better dispatched.
The embodiment of the utility model also provides a combined container to solve the problem that the storage capacity of a single container is insufficient.
FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of an exemplary packing cabinet 400 provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 4, an assembled container 400 can include two containers 100a and 100 b. The containers 100a and 100b are arranged side by side and can be fixedly connected to each other by means of connection means, for example screws. The containers 100a and 100b can be any embodiment or arrangement, combination of embodiments of the containers 100 described previously.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the containers 100a and 100b may include extraction openings 112a and 112b, respectively, and the extraction openings 112a and 112b are disposed at different positions, so that the extraction openings 112a and 112b may be respectively docked with robots (not shown) provided with extraction components having different heights.
It will be appreciated that the modular container 400 can be further augmented with more containers to store more items, depending on the actual needs. When more containers are arranged, the fetching openings of the newly-added containers may be different from the fetching openings 112a and 112b, or may be the same as one of the fetching openings, which may be specifically designed, and thus are not described herein again.
The embodiment of the utility model also provides a method for better realizing the dispatching of the storage boxes, which is applied to any embodiment of the container 100 or the arrangement and the combination of the embodiments. FIG. 2 illustrates a flowchart of an exemplary locker scheduling method 300, according to an embodiment of the utility model. The method 300 may include the following steps.
In step 302, the control unit of the container 100 can receive an instruction to fetch or store.
In step 304, the control unit may determine a corresponding target storage box according to the fetching instruction or the storage instruction. For example, when a fetching instruction is received, the fetching instruction may include information of which storage compartment the item to be fetched is stored in, so that the control unit may determine the corresponding target storage compartment. For another example, when the storage command is received, the control unit may confirm that any empty storage box is the target storage box according to information of currently known empty storage boxes.
At step 306, the control unit may control the first transfer mechanism 108 (e.g., control a control motor capable of driving the traction mechanism 1084) to move the second transfer mechanism 110 to align the second transfer mechanism 110 with a placement location at which the bin is to be placed (e.g., the placement location 106B of the storage bin 104B of fig. 1B).
At step 308, the control unit may control the second transfer mechanism 110 to remove a bin (e.g., bin 104B of fig. 1B) from a placement location (e.g., placement location 106B of fig. 1B).
In some embodiments, the control unit may further perform the following steps to implement step 308: responsive to the second transfer mechanism 110 being aligned with a placement location (e.g., placement location 106B of fig. 1B) at which a locker (e.g., locker 104B of fig. 1B) is placed, controlling movement of the moving bracket 1104 in the second transfer direction 204 toward the placement location at which the locker is placed; in response to the moving bracket 1104 moving to the first target position (the position shown in fig. 3A), controlling the first conveying mechanism 108 to drive the second conveying mechanism 110 to move upwards so as to drive the moving bracket 1104 to move upwards, so that the second fixing pin 1106 on the upper surface of the moving bracket 1104 is clamped and fixed with the second opening arranged on the lower surface of the fixing protrusion of the storage box, as shown in fig. 3B; continuously controlling the first conveying mechanism 108 to drive the second conveying mechanism 110 to move upwards so as to drive the movable support 1104 to move upwards, so that the first fixing pin of the placing position is separated from the first opening of the storage box; and controlling the moving bracket 1104 to move away from the placing position of the placing locker in the second conveying direction 204 so that the moving bracket 1104 can be retracted into the first conveying mechanism 108, as shown in fig. 3C. Therefore, the movable support is well aligned and fixed with the storage box, and the storage box is stably taken.
At step 310, the control unit may control the first transfer mechanism 108 to move the second transfer mechanism 110 to move the storage bin to a designated position, e.g., a position aligned with the access opening 112, as shown in fig. 3D.
In response to receiving the access instruction, the control unit may control the pushing mechanism to push the article in the storage box out of the access opening at step 312.
In response to receiving the storage command, the control unit may control the push-pull mechanism 118 to pull up the access flap 116 to expose the access opening 112, such that the article can be inserted from the outside to be placed in the storage box at step 314.
After the object taking or storage is completed, the control unit needs to put the storage box back to the original position. Accordingly, the method 300 may further include the steps of:
the control unit may control the first transport mechanism 108 to move the second transport mechanism 110 carrying the bins to align the second transport mechanism 110 with the empty placement position, as shown in fig. 3C;
the control unit may control the second transfer mechanism 110 to move the storage box into the placing position; and
the control unit may control the first transfer mechanism 108 to move the second transfer mechanism 110 to return the second transfer mechanism 110 to the initial position.
In some embodiments, the control unit controls the second transfer mechanism to move the storage box into the placing position, and may be further realized by performing the following steps: in response to the second conveying mechanism 110 being aligned with the vacant placement position, the first conveying mechanism 108 is controlled to drive the second conveying mechanism 110 to move upwards so as to drive the movable support 1104 of the second conveying mechanism 110 to move upwards for a predetermined distance (which can be set according to actual needs, and preferably, the hook is higher than the grooved surface); controlling the moving bracket 1104 to move toward the vacant placing position in the second conveying direction 204; in response to the moving bracket 1104 moving to the second target position (the position shown in fig. 3B), controlling the first conveying mechanism 108 to drive the second conveying mechanism 110 to move downwards so as to drive the moving bracket 1104 to move downwards, so that the hook of the storage box is in clamping fit with the slot of the placing position; continuing to control the first conveying mechanism 108 to drive the second conveying mechanism 110 to move downwards so as to drive the moving bracket 1104 to move downwards, so that the second fixing pin of the moving bracket 1104 is separated from the second opening of the storage box, as shown in fig. 3A; and controlling the moving bracket 1104 to move away from the placing position of the placing locker in the second conveying direction 204 so that the moving bracket 1104 can be retracted into the first conveying mechanism 108, as shown in fig. 1B.
By performing the above steps, the control unit completes the dispatching of the storage box.
