Description

DESCRIPTION STORAGE SYSTEM Technical Area The invention is used in the storage of goods, raw materials, products, semi-finished products in enterprises. related to the storage system used.

In particular, the invention deals with products in plastic crates stacked on carrier profiles. stored and transported by a programmable carrier robot. errors and the need for extra workspace in storage areas. It relates to a storage system that allows it to be removed.

State of the Art Businesses, goods, raw materials, products for various purposes. for stacking semi-finished products It uses certain areas as warehouses. In the warehouse areas in question, general In other words, various systems are installed in order to easily access the stored products.

Shelves are at the forefront of traditional storage systems. The shelves mentioned They are structures that are generally divided into side-by-side and overlapping partitions. in these sheets Stacking in front or behind the shelf so that the products can be taken and put from the shelves The areas where the devices can work are left. This causes serious space loss in warehouses. it causes. In addition, as the number of floors of the shelves increases, the products are taken from the shelves. and some difficulties are experienced in its replacement. In short, traditional shelves Much more storage space is needed due to intermediate spaces in storage systems. is to be heard.

Another known conventional storage system is the top of parcels or plastic crates. it is stacked by placing it on top and on a pallet. In the system in question In addition to the storage system, when a product needs to be purchased from sub-parcels, The above should also be removed. For this, pallets can be transported For this purpose, large forklift type work machines are needed. Forklift type vehicles More warehouse space is required as they need a wide range of motion.

With the increase in the number and variety of products that businesses store over time, this As a result, there are also difficulties in warehouse management. Warehouse The typical problem experienced in the management of a raw material or product is the loss of time. It is not being able to reach the required place without it. This leads to disruption of production processes, causing delay in the shipment of goods.

In systems where shelves are planned by addressing in storage systems, warehouse When an employee's product is needed, the product is purchased by going to the shelf at the address and delivered to the required location. However, these systems are error-prone and a traditional method that causes loss of time due to reaction time. is the application. In addition, in this system, the warehouse activities to be carried out the next day It cannot be programmed in advance. At the same time, the traditional In the storage system, since the semi-finished products are shipped in bulk, they are stored in the production areas. extra front storage areas are needed. For example; during manufacture when 500 units of semi-products are needed according to the daily calculation, a special extra area to stack so many semi-finished products in the production area at the beginning. there is a need.

Robotic systems where people do not work in storage areas in current applications are also available. One of the robotic systems in question can use GPS data or various It is the system that operates the robots that go to the target with the help of sensors. But here too For robots, workspaces are needed during stacking, as in workers. is heard. This causes loss of space.

Alternative created to occupy less space in storage areas In storage systems, the vertical formed by various constructions. storage systems and those working on vertical storage systems It has robots. Here, carrier robots are placed on vertical storage systems. Since it is located, there is no need for any extra working area. However, this ventilation, water, electricity, lighting on the ceilings of the storage areas in the system structures that reduce the ceiling height, such as it causes. Therefore, the working height of the robot is limited by the height of the lowest one. This causes the loss of storage space. is happening. In addition, vertical storage systems, up to the top plastic case is rising. For this reason, the vertical profile system across the entire height of the warehouse area use is in question.

There may be sections at different levels within the warehouse areas. For example; one of the warehouse Some may be Bm and some may be 4 m in size. In this case, separately for both partitions. or the establishment of storage systems according to the lowest remaining elevation required. This causes the loss of warehouse space. This type of site vertical profile storage sections, up to maximum working height it has to be long. In addition, on the storage areas with vertical profiles, The load has to be strong and thick for it to be carried as well. This is the aluminum used. or metal profiles are high in terms of cost.

In current applications, in storage systems with robotic systems, at delivery points a different system is used. When the product arrives at the delivery point, a different It is transferred to the system and brought to the place where the product will be received via the 0 system. This In case the systems are moved to the new location due to warehouse change, the new location will be Ceiling height should also be the same. If the ceiling height is low profiles are cut, and if it is high, the profiles are completely renewed. Also this must use special plastic cases in all systems. Because These boxes are compatible with the robot working on vertical storage systems. has been made. Therefore, the obligation to purchase the safes from the system manufacturer dogma.

Rack on the autonomous or semi-autonomous robots in question units are moved. Therefore, the study for robots in the mentioned system space is needed and there is a loss of storage space. document can be displayed. The aforementioned document is stacked in storage bins. with robotic picking system for picking up objects from storage systems with is relevant. Said stacks are located in a grid structure. Robots are also is working on the grid structure. In this invention, robots are vertical. any extra work as it is positioned above storage systems field is not needed. However, in this system, ceilings in the ceilings of the storage areas If there are structures that reduce the height of the robot, the working height of the robot Since the said structures are limited to the height of the lowest one, the warehouse causing loss of area. In addition, the grill structure, up to the top case Since it rises, it is possible to use a grid along the entire height of the warehouse area. is happening. This creates serious costs.

As another example of the state of the art, document numbered EP3459879 can be displayed. The mentioned document is about the robot-based storage system. Promise the storage system in question was multiple vertical rows to receive storage containers, at least one lifting device mounted horizontally on the frame structure has at least one frame structure that defines it. The hoist is also a storage device. container from one of the vertical shafts and place the storage container It is installed to carry. The storage system also requires the shipping container to be a transport system installed to transport it to and from a working position. contains. Ceiling for the transport system in the aforementioned vertical shaft storage system height must be at a certain distance and you can adjust the ceiling height. There is a problem in restricting structures.
