ES2241471A1 - Automatic storage system for storing goods, has shelves boxes attached with mechanical and automated systems through programmable logic controller that is attached with personal computer - Google Patents

Abstract

The system has shelves boxes attached with mechanical and automated systems through a programmable logic controller (PLC) that is attached with a personal computer.

Description

Automatic goods storage Almarob

Technical sector

The invention falls within the technical sector of Packaging and storage of goods.

State of the art

Currently, within the scope of storage of goods, there are palletizing systems consisting of rails, which carry the goods formed on pallets to points warehouse concrete.

Explanation

The problem that arises is that it is needed enough surface space to get a product in concrete, and also, if we want to obtain a number from the warehouse small of a product we would have to handle large volumes and compact, which requires additional machinery to Get the desired product.

For this, the present invention focuses on the use of space in height, where the products are stored in containers, and that the only way to access them It is by operating the machine, obtaining any desired product at the user's height, without using Additional machinery for handling.

Detailed description of the invention

The present invention relates to a machine fully automated that is capable of moving and placing, within a closed and reduced space, containers or boxes intended for store any type of product, as well as, how to Obtaining them. Also the present invention relates to the mechanical way of moving and placing the containers.

Description of the figures

The shelves formed by the supports (6), the crosspieces (7) and the columns (4) support and house the boxes (5) forming a uniform and compact structure. In total there are four columns of boxes (5).

The lifting column (1) is responsible for moving the extractor car (2) vertically by guides (9) and a chain system, and the extractor carriage (2) is responsible for moving the extractor nail (11 ) horizontally by means of a toothed belt system located inside the upper UPN beam (15), the lower UPN beam (14) is to compensate for the weight. In total we have two lifting columns (1) and two extractor cars (2) located one in each
end of the boxes (5).

The vertical movement of the extractor cars (2) it is due to an engine and a cardan that goes from a column to another, and the movement of the extractor nails (11) is through the motor of the extractor nail and a cardan that join both cars extractors

The extractor nail moves horizontally by means of wheels that are on guide bars (10). When we select a box (5) the extractor nail (11) moves horizontally and when it passes just in front of each of the pivots (12), the hinge (13) closes. The pivots (12) They are located just in front of each column of boxes (5) and each exit. When it reaches the selected box (5), the hinge (13) It is closed and located inside the box hitch. When we raise the extractor car (2) the extractor nail is caught the box (5) and this one is deposited in the exit car (3) that correspond. Each exit carriage (3) moves outwards according to the drive of their corresponding engines.

The extractor car (2) is attached through a pulley system and compensated with some weights (8) so that the effort be only for the weight of the contents of the boxes (5).

Embodiments of the invention

The present invention is fully controlled. by means of an automaton and at the same time with a personal computer that The entire process is visualized and controlled by software.

When we select a certain box to get the product that is inside, it gets in move the extractor car up to the height of the box selected At this precise moment the extractor nail moves laterally until placed in front of the selected box. Following the process, the extractor car goes up about ten centimeters, taking the box by weight. The next step is to move the nail extractor until placed in the output column, moving to then the extractor carriage down until the box is placed on the exit car. Once the box is placed, the nail moves laterally to let the exit car out. Once done the service we activate the collection order, returning the box to its place of origin through the reverse process. Once placed the box in its place the extractor nail is placed in the exit column, and the whole system is waiting for the next order.

Claims (2)

1. Automatic storage machine consisting of boxes (5) placed on shelves, two lifting columns (1) located at the ends of the boxes (5) and an extractor car (2) coupled to each lifting column (1). With spaces between shelves to locate the exit car (3). The automatic storage machine is characterized by the fact that in a minimum of space it is capable of storing large quantity of products and this is due to the way of obtaining the products by means of the set of lifting column (1) and extractor car (2) that make the space necessary to perform the action minimal. 2. Installation for carrying out claim 1 characterized in that it comprises the following elements: A lifting column (1) as the main element to which the pulley systems, chain systems and the extractor carriage (2) are housed. In this last one, the extractive nail drag system (11) is housed, which is responsible for grabbing the boxes (5).
