In this embodiment, the number of the feeding groups 112 is six as an example, and the six feeding groups 112 are arranged at intervals along the second direction A2, and may be respectively recorded as a first feeding group 112A, a second feeding group 112B, a third feeding group 112C, a fourth feeding group 112D, a fifth feeding group 112E and a sixth feeding group 112F.

The handling and storing process of the workpiece 100 in the storage and handling apparatus 1 may generally include a loading process, which may generally include transfer of the workpiece 100 and storage of the workpiece 100, and the state before the storage and handling apparatus 1 enters the handling and storing process is referred to as an initial state of the storage and handling apparatus 1, and the position of the structural member in the storage and handling apparatus 1 is referred to as an initial position. In this embodiment, the number of the feeding groups 112 is six as an example, and the six feeding groups 112 are arranged at intervals along the second direction A2, and may be respectively recorded as a first feeding group 112A, a second feeding group 112B, a third feeding group 112C, a fourth feeding group 112D, a fifth feeding group 112E and a sixth feeding group 112F.

The workpiece 100 transfer process may generally be: in the process of transporting the workpieces 100-1 to 100-6 to the sixth loading group 112F to the upper side of the first loading group 112A, the workpiece 100-1 is transported to the upper side of the sixth loading group 112F, and then the workpiece 100-2 to the workpiece 100-6 are transported to the upper side of the corresponding loading group 112 in sequence.

For example, the process of transporting the workpiece 100-1 over the sixth loading group 112F may be referred to as a first transfer process. The first material conveying process can be as follows: the workpiece 100-1 enters the feeding frame 111 from one side of the feeding device 11 and is sent to the upper part of the first feeding group 112A, and the controller controls all driving wheels 163 in the feeding device 11 to operate so as to convey the workpiece 100 to the upper part of the sixth feeding group 112F along the second direction A2.

The second material conveying process can be as follows: the controller controls the driving wheels 163 corresponding to the remaining five feeding groups 112 to continue to operate, and conveys the workpiece 100-2 to above the fifth feeding group 112E along the second direction A2, and when the corresponding first sensor 171 in the sixth feeding group 112F and the fifth feeding group 112E can detect the workpiece 100, the controller considers that the workpiece 100-2 is conveyed in place, and controls the driving wheels 163 near the fifth feeding group 112E to stop operating. Then, the process of transporting the workpiece 100-3 to the upper side of the fourth feeding set 112D and the workpiece 100-4 to the upper side of the third feeding set 112C sequentially can refer to the process of transporting the workpiece 100-2 to the fifth feeding set 112E in the process of transporting the workpiece 100-5 to the upper side of the second feeding set 112B, and will not be described again.

When the corresponding workpieces 100 in the second feeding set 112B to the sixth feeding set 112F are transferred in place, all the driving wheels 163 stop operating. After the workpieces 100-1 enter the loading device 11, they will stay above the first loading group 112A, and when the first sensors 171 in the six loading groups 112 simultaneously transmit position signals to the controller, the storage handling device 1 will enter the storage process of the workpieces 100 when the six workpieces 100 are considered to be all transferred in place.

The storing process of the workpiece 100 may include: the method comprises a jacking process, a counterpoint process, a conveying process, a first resetting process and a second resetting process.

After the material conveying process of the workpiece 100 is finished, the controller controls the first sensor 171 to start working, when the first sensor 171 detects that the workpiece 100 exists above the corresponding material loading group 112, the controller controls the jack-up member 1182 to start working so as to drive the limit member 1181 to lift until the limit member 1181 contacts the surface of the workpiece 100, and controls the lifting driving member 161 to work so as to lift the carrying table 115, so that the first carrying surface 1311 and the second carrying surface 1321 can contact the workpiece 100, the workpiece 100 can be carried on the material loading group 112, the movement of the conveying assembly 13 can be ensured to drive the workpiece 100 to move, and when the workpiece 100 contacts the first carrying surface 1311 and the second carrying surface 1321, the jack-up process can be regarded as finished, and the alignment process is entered.

The alignment process may generally be: the lifting driving member 161 continues to work, so that the carrying surface of the feeding set 112 is coplanar with the supporting surface of the target supporting member 102, and in the third direction A3, the feeding set 112 and the supporting member 102 are aligned, and the alignment process is finished, and the conveying process is entered.

The transportation process may generally be: the controller will start to control the operation of the conveying driving member 114 to send the conveying assembly 13 along the first direction A1, and when the third sensor detects the workpiece 100, the controller can receive the position signal sent by the third sensor and send a control signal to the pushing assembly 119 to operate, so as to push the workpiece 100 to move towards the storage rack 10 relative to the conveying assembly 13. When the controller receives the disappearance of the position signal transmitted by the second sensor 172, it can be regarded as the end of the conveyance process of the storage conveyance apparatus 1, the workpiece 100 having been fed into the corresponding support 102. When the controller receives the disappearance of the position signal transmitted by the second sensor 172, it can be regarded as the end of the conveyance process of the storage and handling apparatus 1, and the first reset process of the storage and handling apparatus 1 is entered.

The first reset procedure of the storage and handling apparatus 1 may generally be: the controller sends a control signal to the push assembly 119 to reverse it until the push assembly 119 returns to the original position. The controller may also send a control signal to the transfer drive 114 to reverse the transfer drive 114 to drive the transfer assembly 13 in a direction opposite to the first direction A1 such that the transfer assembly 13 returns to its initial relative position with the carrier 115 for a next use. When the initial positional relationship with the loading rack 111 is restored, the first reset process of the storage and handling apparatus 1 is considered to be completed.

Next, the storage handling apparatus 1 enters a second reset procedure, which may be generally: the movable platform 113 descends under the action of the lifting driving piece 161, so that the movable platform 113 restores the initial position relation with the feeding rack 111, and a second resetting process in the storage and conveying equipment 1 is realized, namely, an automatic storage process of the workpieces 100 in the storage and conveying equipment 1 is completed.
