The forklift is used as an industrial transport vehicle and can be used for loading and unloading, stacking and short-distance transportation of finished goods. The handling capacity of a forklift may generally depend on its nominal lifting capacity, load center distance, minimum turning radius, etc. technical parameters. In the related art, the standard unmanned forklift is adopted to carry cargoes in the warehousing system, and the length of each fork of the standard unmanned forklift is larger than the length of the corresponding standard tray along the fork feeding direction, so that when the standard cargoes corresponding to the standard unmanned forklift are carried, the gravity center position of the standard cargoes can be corresponding to the load center distance of the standard unmanned forklift, and the standard cargoes can be stably carried. However, the existing storage system stores large goods, the volume of the large goods is often larger than that of the standard goods, and because each fork of the standard unmanned forklift is smaller than twice the first length (namely, the length of the standard pallet along the fork feeding direction), the large goods are transported by the standard unmanned forklift in combination with the standard pallet, and serious overstock (namely, when the large goods are transported by the unmanned forklift, the gravity center position of the large goods is larger than the load center distance of the standard unmanned forklift), so that the standard unmanned forklift is poor in stability and low in transportation safety when transporting the pallet carrying the goods.

In view of this, the embodiment of the application provides a warehousing system, and the transportation safety of the warehousing system is higher. Referring to fig. 1, a warehouse system provided in an embodiment of the present application may include a double-splice pallet 100, an unmanned forklift 200, and a warehouse management device 300. Wherein, the double-spliced pallet 100 includes two pallets 110 that interconnect, and the unmanned forklift 200 includes two forks 210, and these two forks 210 interval sets up, and the length of two forks 210 is all greater than the length of double-spliced pallet 100 along advancing the fork direction, and warehouse management device 300 is connected with unmanned forklift 200 for control unmanned forklift 200 carries the goods 400 of bearing on double-spliced pallet 100 from the first position to the second position.

It should be noted that, the double-spliced pallet 100 is formed by connecting two pallets 110, and the length of two forks 210 of the unmanned forklift 200 is greater than the length of the double-spliced pallet 100 along the fork feeding direction, so that the load center distance of the unmanned forklift 200 is greater than that of a standard unmanned forklift, and when the double-spliced pallet 100 is matched with the unmanned forklift 200, the carrying area is greater than that of the standard goods 400, the gravity center position of the goods 400 can be enabled to correspond to the load center distance of the unmanned forklift 200 in the embodiment of the application, the transportation stability of the unmanned forklift 200 is improved, and the transportation safety of a storage system is also improved. It can be appreciated that the warehouse management device 300 may be any device that is capable of controlling the cargo 400 carried on the double-spliced pallet 100 by the unmanned forklift 200 and is capable of moving from the first position to the second position, such as a device that is configured with an RCS (Robot Control System ) system and is available in the market, which is not limited in this embodiment, and the warehouse management device 300 may be selected according to actual needs.

The two trays 110 that make up the dual-splice tray 100 may be trays 110 with the same specification, and the two trays 110 may be connected by a detachable connection manner or by a non-detachable connection manner. Alternatively, the connection mode may be a threaded connection, a hook connection or a rivet connection. The direction of the fork of the double-spliced tray 110 may be perpendicular to the connecting surface of the two trays 110 (as shown in fig. 1), or may be parallel to the connecting surface of the two trays 110. The connection surface of the double-splice tray 110 may correspond to the short side of the tray 110 or the long side of the tray 110. Illustratively, the tray 110 gauge may be 1 meter by 1.2 meters, 0.8 meters by 1.2 meters, or 1 meter by 1.5 meters. When the specifications of the two trays 110 are 1 meter by 1.2 meters, the specifications of the double-spliced tray 100 may be 1 meter by 2.4 meters (the connection surface of the double-spliced tray 100 corresponds to the short side of the tray 110) or 1.2 meters by 2 meters (the connection surface of the double-spliced tray 100 corresponds to the long side of the tray 110). The warehouse system may include at least one unmanned forklift 200, each unmanned forklift 200 being communicatively coupled to the warehouse management device 300 for handling the cargo 400 under the control of the warehouse management device 300.

Referring to fig. 2, a schematic top view of a warehouse system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, and as shown in fig. 2, the warehouse system may further include a shelf 500 and a warehouse device 600, compared to the above embodiment. The storage rack 500 is provided with a storage space 510, the warehouse-in device 600 is used for conveying the double-spliced tray 100 and the goods 400 borne on the double-spliced tray 100 from a warehouse-in position to a goods-taking position, and the warehouse-in management device 300 is also used for controlling the unmanned forklift 200 to acquire the double-spliced tray 100 and the goods 400 borne on the double-spliced tray 100 from the goods-taking position and conveying the goods 400 to the storage space 510.

It should be noted that, the storage space 510 is used for placing the goods 400, and the picking position is a position where the unmanned forklift 200 can fork and pick the double-spelling pallet 100, and can be set as required. The warehouse entry device 600 is used for conveying the goods 400 loaded on the double pallet 100 and the double pallet 100 to the goods taking position, so that the unmanned forklift 200 carries the goods 400 to the storage space 510 under the control of the warehouse management device 300. The warehousing system may include at least one shelf 500, each shelf 500 may include at least one layer, and each layer of shelves 500 may be provided with at least one storage space 510. In this embodiment, the first location is a pick-up location, and the second location is a storage space 510 of the shelf 500. Optionally, the unmanned forklift 200 obtains the double-splice tray 100 and the goods 400 carried on the double-splice tray 100 from the picking position under the control of the warehouse management device 300, and carries the goods 400 and the double-splice tray 100 together to the storage space 510.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, two shelves 500 form a shelf group, and two shelves 500 in the shelf group are disposed back-to-back, so that the space utilization of the warehouse system can be improved, and the storage spaces 510 do not interfere with each other. In one embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent storage spaces 510 is greater than or equal to a preset spacing that is positively correlated with the positioning error of the unmanned aerial vehicle 200. It should be noted that, the two adjacent storage spaces 510 include the storage space 510 of another shelf 500 disposed in the same shelf group. It can be appreciated that, because the unmanned forklift 200 may deviate slightly from the storage space 510 (i.e. there is an error) when the goods 400 are sent into the storage space 510 under the control of the warehouse management device 300, the distance between two adjacent storage spaces 510 is greater than or equal to the preset distance, so that the unmanned forklift 200 can be ensured not to collide with the goods 400 placed in the storage space 510 adjacent to the storage space 510 when the goods 400 are sent into the storage space 510, and the safety of the warehouse system is improved. Alternatively, the spacing between adjacent two storage spaces 510 may range from 180mm to 220mm. Alternatively, the spacing between two adjacent storage spaces 510 is 180mm, 190mm, 200mm, 210mm, or 220mm. It is understood that the size of the storage space may be set according to the size of the goods 400. Optionally, the size of the storage space is 160 mm x 2500mm. Optionally, the total storage space of the warehousing system ranges from 300 to 400. Optionally, the total storage space of the warehousing system is 300, 320, 340, 347, 360, 380, or 400.

It can be appreciated that the shelves 500 of the warehouse system may be required to be disposed at an upper layer, that is, the horizontal position corresponding to the warehouse-in position of the warehouse system is lower than the horizontal position of the shelves 500. In view of this, the following embodiments provide a specific structure of the warehouse entry device 600, where the warehouse entry device 600 may include a lifting mechanism and a first conveying mechanism, where the lifting mechanism is used to lift the double-spliced pallet 100 and the goods 400 from the warehouse entry position to the first conveying mechanism, and the first conveying mechanism is used to horizontally convey the double-spliced pallet 100 and the goods 400 to the goods taking position, that is, the goods taking position is located on the first conveying mechanism. It should be noted that, since the first conveying mechanism is a horizontal conveying mechanism, that is, is matched with each fork 210 horizontally disposed on the unmanned forklift 200, the unmanned forklift 200 may fork the double-spliced pallet 100 from the first conveying mechanism, so as to implement the conveying of the double-spliced pallet 100 into the storage space 510.

In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism may comprise a lifting conveyor, the first transport mechanism may comprise a horizontal conveyor, the lifting conveyor being connected to the horizontal conveyor, through which lifting conveyor and the horizontal conveyor the dual splice tray 100 and the cargo 400 may be transported from the warehouse-in position to the pick-up position. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the warehouse-in position is the start position of the lifting conveyor belt, and the pickup position is the end position of the horizontal conveyor belt.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the warehousing system may further include an in-place detection device 700, where the in-place detection device 700 is coupled to the warehouse management device 300. Wherein the in-place detection device 700 may be used to detect whether the double-splice tray 100 has arrived at the pick-up location. The warehouse management device 300 is further configured to control the unmanned forklift 200 to acquire the double-splice tray 100 and the goods 400 from the goods taking position and to transfer the goods 400 to the storage space 510 when the in-place detection device 700 detects that the double-splice tray 100 reaches the goods taking position. It should be noted that the in-place detection device 700 may be used to directly detect whether the dual-splice tray 100 arrives at the pick-up position, or may be used to indirectly detect whether the dual-splice tray 100 arrives at the pick-up position by detecting whether the goods 400 arrives at the pick-up position. It can be appreciated that, since the goods 400 are carried on the double-split pallet 100, when the goods 400 reach the picking position, the double-split pallet 100 also reaches the picking position, so that whether the double-split pallet 100 reaches the picking position can be detected by detecting whether the goods 400 reach the picking position.

In one embodiment, the in-place detecting device 700 may include a camera unit for acquiring actual image information of the pickup location, and an image recognition unit connected to the camera unit, and the image recognition unit may be used to determine whether the double-splice tray 100 reaches the pickup location according to the actual image information. Optionally, the in-place detecting device 700 may further include a supporting component, where the image capturing unit is disposed on the supporting component, so that the image capturing unit is located above the picking position, and may acquire actual image information of the picking position. The image recognition unit may store preset image information corresponding to the arrival of the double-splice tray 100 at the pickup position in advance, and may determine whether the double-splice tray 100 arrives at the pickup position according to the similarity between the preset image information and the actual image information.

In yet another embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the in-place detecting apparatus 700 may include a transmitting unit 710 and a receiving unit 720. The transmitting unit 710 and the receiving unit 720 are respectively disposed at two sides of the picking position, so that the transmitting unit 710 blocks the transmitting signal transmitted to the receiving unit 720 when the dual-splice tray 100 reaches the picking position. It should be noted that, when the two-piece pallet 100 does not reach the picking position, the transmitting unit 710 and the receiving unit 720 may receive the transmitting signal transmitted by the transmitting unit 710, that is, the receiving unit 720 has different signal receiving states of the two-piece pallet 100 and the two-piece pallet 100 at the picking position, so the warehouse management device 300 may determine whether the two-piece pallet 100 reaches the picking position according to the signal receiving state of the receiving unit 720. Alternatively, the in-place detection device 700 may include, but is not limited to, a photo-correlation sensor.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the pick-up position is disposed on the horizontal conveyor 800, the in-place detecting device may include a first support 730, a second support 740, a transmitting unit 710 and a receiving unit 720, where the first support 730 is disposed on one side of the pick-up position, the second support 740 is disposed on the other side of the pick-up position, the transmitting unit 710 is disposed on the first support 730, and the receiving unit 720 is disposed on the second support 740. It is understood that the height of the transmitting unit 710 and the receiving unit 720 is higher than that of the horizontal conveyor belt 800 to detect whether the dual-splice tray 100 reaches the picking position. Optionally, the first rack 730 and the second rack 740 may be telescopic racks to adjust the heights of the transmitting unit 710 and the receiving unit 720 relative to the warehouse system floor.

With continued reference to fig. 2, the warehousing system may further include a charging device 900, where the charging device 900 is configured to charge the unmanned forklift 200, so as to ensure that the warehousing system can continuously operate. Optionally, as shown in fig. 2, the charging device 900 may be disposed in a charging area (an area surrounded by a dotted line in fig. 2) of the warehouse system, and the warehouse system may be provided with a plurality of charging areas, so as to facilitate charging by the unmanned forklift 200. Optionally, the charging mode of the charging device 900 is wireless charging, that is, charging can be achieved when the unmanned forklift 200 enters the charging range of the charging device 900.

In one embodiment, the warehouse management device 300 may be further configured to control the unmanned forklift 200 to drive into the charging area to realize the charging of the unmanned forklift 200 when the electric quantity of the unmanned forklift 200 is less than the preset electric quantity. The unmanned forklift 200 of the embodiment can automatically realize charging under the control of the warehouse management device 300, so that the labor cost can be reduced and the work efficiency of the warehouse system can be improved.

To facilitate the management and identification of the goods 400 and/or the double-splice trays 100, a first identification code may be provided on the goods 400 for identifying characteristics (e.g., date of manufacture, type, etc.) of the goods 400 and/or a second identification code may be provided on the double-splice trays 100 for identifying characteristics (e.g., materials, specifications, etc.) of the double-splice trays 100, by which the warehouse management device 300 may be caused to determine characteristics of the goods 400 and the double-splice trays 100 that are fed into the warehouse system or determine which goods 400 or goods 400 are to be fed out of the warehouse system. Alternatively, the first identification code may be provided on the goods 400 and the second identification code may be provided on the dual-splice tray 100 by means of pasting or engraving, or the like. Alternatively, the first identification code and the second identification code may include, but are not limited to, bar codes or two-dimensional codes.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the warehouse system may further include a scanning device 1000, where the scanning device 1000 is connected to the warehouse management device 300, the scanning device 1000 may be configured to acquire a first identifier of the cargo 400 located at the picking position and send the first identifier to the warehouse management device 300, and/or the scanning device 1000 may be configured to acquire the first identifier and a second identifier corresponding to the first identifier, perform a binding process on the second identifier and the first identifier, and send binding information generated by the binding process to the warehouse management device 300.

It should be noted that, the second identification code corresponding to the first identification code is disposed on the double-spelling board 100 for carrying the goods 400 corresponding to the first identification code, and if the double-spelling board a is used for carrying the goods B, for example, the first identification code of the goods B corresponds to the second identification code of the double-spelling board a. When the scanning device 1000 may be configured to obtain the first identifier and the second identifier corresponding to the first identifier, and perform binding processing on the second identifier and the first identifier, the warehouse management device 300 may determine, through binding information, a correspondence between the first identifier and the second identifier, that is, a correspondence between the goods 400 and the double-spelling tray 100 for carrying the goods 400. When the scanning device 1000 may be used to obtain the first identifier of the cargo 400 located at the picking position, the warehouse management device 300 may determine the characteristics of the cargo 400 through the scanning device 1000, and since the unmanned forklift 200 is under the control of the warehouse management device 300 to carry the cargo 400 to the corresponding storage space 510, the warehouse management device 300 may determine the correspondence between the storage space 510 and each cargo 400 (each first identifier). The scanning device 1000 is provided in this embodiment, so that the warehouse management device 300 can manage the storage space 510 of the articles and (the goods 400 and the double-splice tray 100) of the warehouse system.

In one embodiment, when the scanning device 1000 is used to obtain the first identification code, the scanning device 1000 includes a scanning unit disposed on one side of the pick-up location for obtaining the first identification code of the cargo 400 located at the pick-up location. In one embodiment, the scanning unit may be disposed on the first support 730 or the second support 740. Alternatively, the scanning unit may comprise a scanner. It can be appreciated that, when the in-place detecting device 700 is used for directly detecting whether the double-spliced pallet 100 reaches the picking position, the setting position of the scanning unit is higher than the setting positions of the receiving unit 720 and the transmitting unit 710 (i.e. the distance between the scanning unit and the ground of the warehouse system is greater than the distance between the receiving unit 720 and the transmitting unit 710 and the ground of the warehouse system), so as to obtain the first identification code of the goods 400.

In one embodiment, when the scanning apparatus 1000 is used to acquire the first identification code and the second identification code corresponding to the first identification code and perform the binding process on the second identification code and the first identification code, the scanning apparatus 1000 may include a binding unit, a lower layer of a warehouse system is a production system for producing the goods 400 described in the above embodiment, a producer moves the produced goods 400 onto the double-splice tray 100, scans the first identification code of the goods 400 and the second identification code of the corresponding double-splice tray 100 through the binding unit, and then places the double-splice tray 100 and the goods 400 into a warehouse. Alternatively, the binding unit may include a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant, palm computer).

In one embodiment, the in-place detecting device 700 is connected to the scanning unit, where the in-place detecting device 700 may be further configured to send wake-up information to the scanning unit in case that the dual-splice tray 100 is detected to reach the picking position, where the wake-up information is used to wake up the scanning unit, so that the scanning unit enters the working state from the standby state, so as to obtain the first identification code of the goods 400 located at the picking position. It should be noted that, when the scanning unit does not receive the wake-up information, the scanning unit is in a standby state until entering the working state under the control of the in-place detection device 700, and because the energy consumption consumed by the scanning unit in the standby state is smaller than the energy consumption consumed by the scanning unit in the working state, the in-place detection device 700 is connected with the scanning unit, and the state of the scanning unit is controlled by the in-place detection device 700, so that the energy consumption of the warehouse system can be reduced.

Referring to fig. 5, a warehouse entry method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, and as shown in fig. 5, the warehouse entry method may include steps S502 to S506.

S502, conveying the double-spliced trays and cargoes at the warehouse-in position to the picking position by the warehouse-in device.

In one embodiment, referring still to fig. 2, the warehouse system may further include a warehouse exit device 1100, where the warehouse management device may be further configured to control the unmanned forklift 200 to obtain the dual splice trays 100 and the goods 400 from the storage space 510 and to transport the goods 400 to the unloading location, and where the warehouse exit device 1100 may be configured to transport the goods 400 from the unloading location to the warehouse exit location. The unloading position is a position where the unmanned forklift 200 can unload the loaded double-splice tray 100. Alternatively, the delivery device 1100 may be further configured to convey the cargo 400 and the dual-splice tray 100 together to the unloading position, so that the manufacturer may obtain the dual-splice tray 100 and recycle the dual-splice tray 100.

The warehouse system provided in this embodiment, under the cooperation of the unmanned forklift 200, the warehouse management device 300 and the warehouse outlet device 1100, can convey the goods 400 in the storage space 510 to the shipment position, and automatically complete the corresponding warehouse outlet task.

In one embodiment, when the shelf 500 of the warehousing system is located on the same floor as the delivery location of the warehousing system (the delivery location corresponds to the horizontal location where the shelf is located), the delivery device 1100 includes a second transfer mechanism for horizontally transferring the goods 400 from the unloading location to the delivery location. Similarly, because the second transfer mechanism is a horizontal transfer mechanism, the unmanned forklift 200 can unload the dual splice pallet 100 and the cargo 400 onto the horizontal transfer mechanism.

In another embodiment, when the shelf 500 of the warehouse system is located at an upper layer of the unloading position of the warehouse system, the unloading device 1100 may include a second conveying mechanism and a lowering mechanism, where the unloading position is located on the second conveying mechanism, the second conveying mechanism is used to horizontally convey the goods 400 from the unloading position to the third position, and the lowering mechanism is used to lower the goods 400 from the third position to the unloading position, where it is understood that the third position is also located on the second conveying mechanism. Alternatively, the second transport mechanism is a horizontal conveyor belt and the lowering mechanism may comprise an elevator.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the warehousing system may further include an ordering device 1200, where the ordering device 1200 is coupled to the warehouse management device 300 for sending order information related to the goods 400 to the warehouse management device 300. It should be noted that the order information may include characteristics of the goods 400 to be delivered, so that the warehouse management device 300 may determine the goods 400 to be delivered, so as to control the unmanned forklift 200 to obtain the double pallet and the goods 400 in the corresponding storage space, and send the goods 400 to the unloading position. Alternatively, the order device 1200 may be a device configured with an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning ) system, and a staff member may send order information related to the goods 400 to the warehouse management device 300 through the order device 1200 to instruct the warehouse management device 300 to perform a warehouse out operation. For example, the ex-warehouse operation may include steps S602 to S604.

S602, the warehouse management device responds to the order information to control the unmanned forklift to acquire the double-spliced pallet and the goods from the corresponding storage space, and the goods are sent to the unloading position.

S604, the warehouse management device feeds back the warehouse-out completion information to the order device.

Wherein the ex-warehouse device 1100 may transport the cargo 400 from the discharge location to the ex-warehouse location.

As can be seen from the description of the above-mentioned ex-warehouse operation, the warehouse system provided in this embodiment, under the mutual cooperation of the order device 1200, the ex-warehouse device 1100, the warehouse management device 300 and the unmanned forklift 200, can respond to the order information generation operation of the staff (the operation that the staff sends the order information related to the goods 400 to the warehouse management device 300 through the order device 1200), automatically complete the ex-warehouse task of the warehouse system, and the automation degree of the warehouse system is high.
