[0026] Reference will now be made to the figures to describe the present invention in detail.
[0027] Referring to FIGS. 1-8, an intelligent access apparatus 100 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown.
The intelligent access apparatus 100 includes a casing 10, a store shelf 20, a distributing device 30, a manipulator 40, a locating mechanism 50, a code reader (not labeled), a main controller (not labeled), and a discharge tank 60.
[0028] As shown in FIG 1, the casing 10 is generally rectangular and provided with a pair of doors 11 at the facade thereof. A window 12 with transparent glass 12 is mounted in one of the pair of doors 11 so that an operator can observe an inside condition of the intelligent access apparatus 100. The
. other door 11 is provided with a replenishment port (not labeled) for adding articles to be deposited, and the discharge tank 60. The discharge tank 60 includes a sub-tank 61 and a misreading sub-tank 62. Each of the sub-tank 61 and the misreading sub-tank 62 has an inclined bottom. The sub-tank 61 is configured for accepting a deposited article which passes checkout, while the misreading sub-tank 62 is configured for accepting a deposited article which doesn’t pass checkout.
[0029] Referring to FIG. 2, the store shelf 20 is positioned in the casing 10 and is a single-layer or multi-layer cylinder structure. The store shelf 20 includes a center shaft 21 so that it can rotate around the center shaft 21. A plurality of vertical and parallel poles 23 is arranged between partition plates 22.
The plurality of poles 23 are spaced at a predetermined distance so that a plurality of physical store locations 24 is defined in each layer of the store shelf along a circumferential direction. Each physical store location 24 corresponds to physical store location information saved by the main controller, and each physical store location 24 can accommodate one deposited article.
[0030] Referring to FIG. 3, the distributing device 30 includes a bunker 31 and a feeding mechanism 32. The feeding mechanism 32 is positioned at the bottom of the bunker 31. The bunker 31 is a hollow cavity and has a generally rectangular shape for housing one or more articles to be deposited. A slot 33 is defined in a downside of the bunker 31 for passing through one deposited article at a time. The article may slightly expand (or an edge thereof may slightly turn up) naturally, which results that a single article can not pass through the slot 22 (33) smoothly. Therefore, a pressing block device (not labeled) is provided in the intelligent access apparatus 100 for pressing the article. The pressing block device includes a motor 71, a rotating shaft 72, a pulling line 73 and a pressing block (e.g., a block of iron) 74. A plurality of magnet proximity
: switch 1s arranged at a side of the bunker 31 for detecting position of the pressing block 74. It should be understood that, the pressing block device is not necessary if the article can naturally maintain its uniform thickness and flatness.
[0031] In the intelligent access apparatus 100, the replenishment port mounted on the door 11 corresponds to the bunker 31. In practice, a bunker door 14 is generally mounted at the replenishment port, and a photoelectric sensor may be positioned at the top of the bunker 31 for detecting a state of the bunker door 14. The photoelectric sensor also transmits state information of the bunker door 14 to the main controller. When the bunker door 14 is opened, the main controller controls the motor 71 of the pressing block device to rotate.
The pulling line 73 tied to the pressing block 74 entwines the rotating shaft 72 so that the pressing block 74 is pulled out of the bunker 31. When the bunker door 14 is closed, the motor 71 rotates to release the pressing block 74 so that the pressing block 74 presses on the articles.
[0032] The feeding mechanism 32 is used for transferring the article at a bottommost portion of the bunker 31 to the manipulator 40. As shown in FIG. 4, the feeding mechanism 32 includes a base 321, a first motor 322 mounted on a lower surface of the base 321, a first pushing block 323 mounted on an upper surface of the base 321, a first rack 324, and a first guiding element 325. The first pushing block 323 and the first rack 324 are connected together fixedly. A first gear 326 mounted on a main shaft of the first motor 322 meshes with the first rack 324. The first pushing block 323 slides on the base 321 back and forth via guiding effect of the first guiding element 325. A bulge of the first pushing block 323 has a thickness approximately equating to that of one article to be deposited. A magnet proximity switch is mounted below the first pushing block 323 for determining an initial location point of the first pushing block 323.
A pulley 327 is provided on the top of the first pushing block 323 for reducing
: friction force between the top of the pushing block 323 and the last article when the first pushing block 323 pushes the article at the bottommost portion of the bunker 31 to the manipulator 40.
[0033] A photoelectric sensor is positioned at the bottom of the bunker 31.
When the first motor 322 receives a placement signal for the feeding mechanism 32 from the main controller and photoelectric sensor detects the presence of the article to be deposited in the bunker 31, the first motor 322 starts up. The main shaft of the first motor 322 can drive the first gear 326. Because the first gear 326 meshes with first rack 324, the first rack 324 can drive the first pushing block 323 fixedly connected thereto. With the guiding effect of the first guiding element 325, the first pushing block 323 slides along the base 321.
Then, the first pushing block 323 pushes the article at the bottommost portion of the bunker 31 to the manipulator 40. Subsequently, the first motor 322 rotates reversely so that the first pushing block 323 resets to its initial location quickly.
Circulating in this way, the feeding mechanism 32 can transfer the article at the bottommost portion of the bunker 31 to the manipulator 40 continuously.
[0034] Referring to FIGS. 5-8, the manipulator 40 includes a main body 41, an overturning plate 42 and a clamping device 43. The main body 41 is generally rectangular and defines a hollow portion 411 in the middle thereof, A working surface of the code reader corresponds to the hollow portion 411. A groove (not labeled) is provided in the overturning plate 42. A rotation mechanism is arranged on the front end of the main body 41 for controlling the overturning plate 42 to rotate at a certain angle. The rotation mechanism includes a bracket 44. A top end of the bracket 44 is provided with a rotating shaft 45 with a gear, and a motor 46. A main shaft (not labeled) of the motor 46 is provided with a gear 47 for meshing with the gear of the rotating shaft 43.
[0035] The clamping device 43 includes a base plate 431, a clamp 432
: mounted on an outer end surface of the base plate 431, a second rack 433 fixedly connected to the base plate 431, and a second motor 434. The second rack 433 meshes with a second gear (not labeled) provided on a main shaft of the second motor 434.
[0036] The clamp 432 includes two clamping arms 436 having generally similar shapes. The clamping arm 436 includes a clamping head 437 for clamping a deposited article, a clamping tail 438 for controlling the clamping action of the clamp or opening the clamping head, and a connecting part 439 connecting the clamping head and the clamping tail. A cam 430 is positioned between the two opposite clamping tails 438 of the clamp 432. A third gear 435 1s mounted on a shaft of the cam 430. When a motor for the third gear 435 rotates, the motor drives the third gear 435 to rotate. Then, the cam 430 can rotate to contro! a relative distance between the two clamping tails 438 so that a clamping action of the clamp 432 is achieved.
[0037] In practice, a working process for the manipulator 40 may be implemented as follows.
[0038] When the main controller of the intelligent access apparatus 100 sends a command for storing, the manipulator 40 receives a placement signal sent by the main controller. The manipulator 40 moves to the same height with the distributing device 30 under the control of the locating mechanism 50. Here the overturning plate 42 of the manipulator is generally perpendicular to the main body 41 of the manipulator so that the overturning plate 42 is ready for accepting an article pushed by the distributing device 30. When the photoelectric sensor of the manipulator 40 detects the presence of the article on the overturning plate 42, the rotation mechanism of the manipulator 40 rotate the overturning plate 42 to be parallel with the main body 41 of the manipulator under the drive of the motor 46. The code reader is started up so as to read tab
: information on the article and transmits it to the main controller. The main controller can assign physical store location information to the article and save the tab information and the physical store location information in the main controller. The manipulator 40 moves to a corresponding location in the store shelf 20 according to the physical store location information assigned by the main controller and under the control of the locating mechanism 50. The second motor 434 is started up so as to drive the second rack 433: The second rack 433 can drive the clamping device 43 to push the article to the store shelf 20.
Subsequently, the second motor 434 rotates reversely and the clamping device 43 resets to its initial location quickly. Circulating in this way, the manipulator 40 can push received articles to the store shelf 20 continuously.
[0039] When the main controller of the intelligent access apparatus 100 sends a command for taking out, the main controller can determine a physical store location of a deposited article on the store shelf 20 according to tab information of the deposited article inputted from the operating panel 15 thereof ~~ or physical store location information. Accordingly, the main controller controls the locating mechanism 50, and the locating mechanism 50 controls the manipulator 40 to move to the physical store location in the store shelf 20 corresponding to the deposited article. The second motor 434 is started up and drives the second rack 433. The second rack 433 drives the clamp 432 to move to the location in the store shelf 20 corresponding to the deposited article. The motor cooperating with the third gear 435 is started up to drive the third gear 435 to rotate. Accordingly, the cam 430 can rotate and control a relative distance between the clamping tails 438. The distance between the clamping heads 437 is decreased so as to clamp the deposited article in the store shelf 20.
Subsequently, the second motor 434 rotates reversely and the lamping device 43 displaces the deposited article slowly from the store shelf to the overturning plate 42. Finally, the manipulator 40 discharges the deposited article being taken-out
- from the discharge tank 60 under the control of the locating mechanism 50.
[0040] To ensure that the deposited article being finally taken out is the desired one, the tab information of the deposited article is read again by the code reader mounted on the manipulator 40 after the deposited article is taken out from the store shelf 20 and before it is discharged from the discharge tank 60.
The tab information read by the code reader is transmitted to the main controller.
The main controller checks the information with the tab information inputted from the operating panel 15 or the physical store location information. If the deposited article passes the checkout, it is transferred to the sub-tank 61 for discharge. Otherwise, the deposited article is discharged from the misreading sub-tank 62. During taking out the deposited article, the overturning plate 42 rotates from the state wherein the overturning plate 42 is parallel with the main body 41 of the manipulator to a state wherein an angle formed by the overturning plate 42 and the main body 41 of the manipulator is larger than a right angle.
Thus, the deposited article can slide from the overturning plate 42 under the effect of the gravity.
[0041] The locating mechanism 50 may be mounted at left side of the store shelf 20 for controlling the manipulator 40 to slide up and down in a longitudinal direction. The locating mechanism 50 includes a longitudinal sliding belt 51, a longitudinal servo motor 52, a counterweight (not shown), and two vertical poles (not labeled). The two vertical poles are fixed together and each pulley 53 is positioned between two adjacent ends of the vertical poles. The longitudinal sliding belt 51 is set on the two pulleys 53. The fixed vertical poles divide the locating mechanism 50 into two parts, i.e., a left part and a right part. At the left part, the longitudinal sliding belt 51 passes through the manipulator 40. At the right part, the longitudinal sliding belt 51 passes through the counterweight.
A projecting slide rail (not labeled) is provided on the two vertical poles. The slide rail engages with a sliding groove defined in the manipulator 40 in a sliding manner. Thus, when the longitudinal servo motor 52 is started up, the manipulator 40 can slide up and down in a range along the vertical pole depending on right and left rotations of the longitudinal servo motor 52. Each of upper and lower ends of the vertical pole has a magnet proximity switch for sending information to the main controller when the manipulator 40 moves to the upper end or the lower end. Thus, the main controller can control revolutions of the longitudinal servo motor 52.
[0042] The code reader is mainly used for reading tab information on the deposited article. In practice, a tab may be attached to the deposited article, or information of the deposited article may be directly written in the deposited article or a box housing the deposited article in a manner of electronic record.
Therefore, the code reader may be replaced with radio-frequency contacting reading device or radio-frequency non-contacting reading device or other data reading devices. The tab information and the information written in the deposited article or the box housing the deposited article belong to identification information.
[0043] The main controller mainly includes a central processing unit for processing information from the distributing device 30, the manipulator 40, the code reader and the operating panel 15. The central processing unit is also used for sending operating commands to the distributing device 30, the manipulator 40 and the locating mechanism 50.
[0044] The intelligent access apparatus 100 inputs relative information items or operating commands to the operating panel 15 which is embedded in the casing 10. For the convenience of use, the operating panel 15 can be a touch panel. The main controller can display relative information items or operating commands via the operating panel 13, and can also display working states of the
: intelligent access apparatus 100 (e.g., to display “storing”, “please take the deposited article”, etc.). These working states relate to instant status of each interior module, so it can be implemented without creative work for person skilled in the art.
