In addition, the technical features of the different embodiments of the present utility model described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of a warehouse system according to the present application includes a pallet 10, a aisle 40, a support mechanism 50, and a circulation mechanism 60. The pallet 10 has a plurality of sub-lanes 20 arranged in a horizontal direction, and the sub-lanes 20 have entrances and exits 30. The parent path 40 is provided at a side portion of the shelf 10 and corresponds to the doorway 30. The support mechanism 50 is disposed within the parent channel 40, the support mechanism 50 includes a plurality of support members 51, the support members 51 are disposed at the doorway 30, and at least a portion of the doorway 30 is provided with the support members 51. The transfer mechanism 60 transfers the fluid on the secondary and primary lanes 20, 40 and is adapted to carry cargo.

By using the technical solution of the present embodiment, a supporting mechanism 50 is provided in the parent channel 40, that is, the goods can be buffered on the supporting mechanism 50. When the goods in the middle or the tail of the rotor channel 20 are required to flow, the goods in the front part of the rotor channel are firstly transferred to the parent channel 40 through the transfer mechanism 60 and are placed on the supporting mechanism 50 for buffering; the transfer mechanism 60 then transfers the stream to be removed out of the shelf; finally, the transfer mechanism 60 transfers the buffered stream of material on the support mechanism 50 back to the sub-lane 20. The structure can realize first-in first-out of goods, so that the dispatching of the vertical warehouse system is more flexible. Therefore, the technical scheme of the embodiment solves the defect that the scheduling capability of the vertical warehouse system in the prior art is limited.

It should be noted in connection with fig. 1 and 2 that the pallet 10 is used for storing goods, and the pallet 10 in this embodiment is formed by overlapping a plurality of cross members and longitudinal members. The sub-aisle 20 is an elongated aisle for placing and storing goods, and a plurality of goods may be stored in the sub-aisle 20. The sub-aisle 20 forms an access opening 30 in the side of the pallet 10, with "access opening 30" referring to the opening through which goods can enter or exit the sub-aisle 20.

As can be seen from fig. 1 and 2, a plurality of sub-channels 20 are provided in the shelf 10, and the plurality of sub-channels 20 are arranged in parallel and at intervals in the horizontal direction. Accordingly, the plurality of sub-lanes 20 form a plurality of entrances 30 at the sides of the pallet 10.

As can be seen in connection with fig. 2, the parent channel 40 is provided on the outside of the pallet 10, which serves to communicate the plurality of child channels 20. The parent channel 40 is an elongated channel that extends through each of the child channels 20 so that cargo may pass through the parent channel from any of the access ports 30 into a particular child channel 20. Alternatively, the cargo within each lane 20 may be diverted to the parent lane. Further, the ends of the bus duct 40 may interface with a stacker, robot, conveyor, forklift, AGV cart, etc. so that the cargo may flow out through the bus duct 40 or into the pallet 10.

As can be seen in connection with fig. 1 and 2, a support mechanism 50 is provided within the parent channel 40, the support mechanism 50 comprising a plurality of support members for supporting the cargo. That is, the cargo may be placed on the support for cushioning within the parent track 40. Furthermore, at least part of the ports 30 are provided with supports, so that the supports are arranged in two ways:

1. the number of the supporting pieces is consistent with that of the inlets and outlets 30, for example, ten inlets and outlets 30 are arranged on the goods shelf 10, the number of the supporting pieces is ten, and one supporting piece is arranged at each inlet and outlet 30;

2. the number of the supporting members is smaller than the number of the inlets and outlets 30, for example, ten inlets and outlets 30 are provided on the shelf 10, and five supporting members are provided, and only five inlets and outlets 30 are provided with the supporting members. Also in this manner, the support members may be arranged in various manners, for example, one support member is arranged at every interval of one doorway 30, and for example, five support members are arranged at five doorways 30 which are concentrated and adjacent, or in other irregular arrangement manners.

Therefore, a person skilled in the art can determine the specific number and arrangement of the supporting elements according to the actual requirement, and the more the supporting elements are disposed, the more the buffer locations on the bus duct 40.

Based on the above configuration, the following exemplifies the cargo circulation schedule in the shelf 10:

assuming that the first end of the parent channel 40 is an access end and the second end is a non-access end, a third cargo stream in a child channel 20 needs to be transferred out of the cargo rack 10, and two cargoes are stored in front of the cargo stream. In the prior art, the first two cargoes need to be transferred to the shipment rack 10, then the third cargo can be transferred to the shipment rack 10, and finally the first two cargoes transferred to the shipment rack 10 are transferred back to the shipment rack, and are put back to the original place.

In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 60 transfers the first two cargoes onto the main track 40, and then the two cargoes are buffered on the supporting member of the main track 40, and the supporting structure should be located at the side of the corresponding inlet/outlet 30 of the sub track 20 facing the second end of the main track 40, i.e. the inlet/outlet end of the third cargoes transferred onto the main track 40 is not blocked. The transfer mechanism 60 then transfers the third stream of goods to the second end of the parent lane 40 and out of the pallet 10. Finally, the transfer mechanism 60 removes the first two loads from the support and returns to its original position.

Therefore, in the vertical warehouse system in the embodiment, when the goods positioned in the middle are required to be taken out, the goods in front of the vertical warehouse system do not need to be called out of the goods shelves 10, so that the dispatching flexibility is greatly improved.

As shown in fig. 2, in the technical solution of the present embodiment, the supporting member 51 includes a supporting block, which is connected to the shelf 10, and is located at a side portion of the doorway 30, and extends toward the main aisle 40.

As can be seen from fig. 2, the inlet 30 is square, and there are two support blocks, which are respectively disposed at two sides of the bottom of the inlet 30.

Further, two parallel rails are provided in the sub-track 20, the rails extend to the end of the doorway 30, and the support blocks are connected to the end of the rails facing the main track 40.

By this arrangement, the support blocks can be directly connected to the pallet 10, so that no other structure for mounting the blocks is necessary in the female aisle 40, and thus the support mechanism 50 is easy to implement.

Of course, the support blocks may be provided in other ways, for example, in some embodiments not shown, a frame may be provided separately within the bus duct 40 and used to mount the support blocks.

As shown in fig. 2, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the supporting block is a wedge-shaped block. The structure comprises a top surface, a vertical surface and an inclined surface, namely a triangular structure. The vertical surface of the supporting block is used for being connected with the end part of the rail, and the top surface is a plane facing upwards and is used for supporting goods. So set up, the structural strength of supporting shoe and supporting strength are higher.

Of course, in some embodiments, not shown, the support blocks may take other shapes as well.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the technical solution of the present embodiment, the shelf 10 includes a first shelf 11 and a second shelf 12 that are disposed opposite to each other. The first shelf 11 has a plurality of first sub-lanes 21 arranged in a horizontal direction, the first sub-lanes 21 have a first entrance 31, the second shelf 12 has a plurality of second sub-lanes 22 arranged in a horizontal direction, and the second sub-lanes 22 have a second entrance 32. The first sub-channels 21 and the second sub-channels 22 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, the parent channel 40 is arranged between the first shelf 11 and the second shelf 12, and the supporting member 51 is arranged on the first shelf 11 and/or the second shelf 12.

As shown in fig. 1, the first shelf 11 and the second shelf 12 have substantially the same structure and are spaced apart from each other. The cargo on the parent lane 40 may enter the first child lane 21 through the first access opening 31 or the second child lane 22 through the second access opening 32.

Of course, in some embodiments not shown, a plurality of first shelves 11 and second shelves 12 may be provided, i.e., more than two shelves 10 may be provided, and adjacent shelves 10 may be provided at intervals, with a bus duct 40 provided between each two of the spaced shelves 10, and a support mechanism 50 within the bus duct 40.

Further, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art in connection with fig. 2:

when the length of the support blocks is long enough to support the goods, the support blocks may be provided only on one side of the parent path 40, i.e., on the first shelf 11 or the second shelf 12.

When the length of the support blocks is short, the support blocks may be provided on both sides of the parent channel 40, i.e. on both the first and second shelves 11, 12. At this time, four supporting blocks are provided at each of the first and second entrances 31 and 32, so that four corners of the bottom of the cargo can be supported.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the support blocks in the present embodiment include a first support block 511 and a second support block 512. The first support block 511 is connected to the first shelf 11, and the first support block 511 is located at a side portion of the first doorway 31, the first support block 511 extends toward the main aisle 40, the second support block 512 is connected to the second shelf 12, and the second support block 512 is located at a side portion of the second doorway 32, the second support block 512 extends toward the main aisle 40, and the first support block 511 and the second support block 512 are disposed opposite to each other.
