一体化提升机、存取系统及订单履行系统 技术领域
本发明涉及仓储物流领域，尤其涉及一种一体化提升机、存取系统及订单履行系统。
背景技术
现代工业生产高度社会化、专业化和集中化，要求物资的订单履行过程(如收货、存储、分拣发货、回库等)及时、迅速、准确。这就促使仓库物流领域的订单履行技术得到迅速的发展。随着仓储行业的高速发展，对订单履行(如货箱入库、存储、出库、拣选、回库等)作业效率的要求越来越高，亦越来越多的行业和企业运用到了立库(立体仓库)、货到人拣选站以及一些其它设备(如收货设备、打包设备、发货设备等)来履行订单任务。传统的立库与货到人拣选站、收货站等设备之间一般设置有复杂的输送线体，如通过该输送线体将货箱入库，然后根据订单任务从立库出库输送到货到人拣选站，拣选完毕再通过该输送线体将货箱输送回立库，该输送线体在一定程度上还起到了缓存作用；但是这种结构的仓储订单履行系统存在出库、回库效率不高、出库拣货回库流程复杂、占地空间大、成本投入较高的问题，尤其对企业来说初期投入成本过高使该仓储分拣系统面临严峻挑战。
另外，提升设备作为立库(立体仓库)订单履行系统的主要设施之一，价格较高、占立库总成本较大比例。现有立库用提升设备主要分两类：货物提升机和穿梭车换层提升机。在立库中，其布置形式多 为两台货物提升机结合一台穿梭车换层提升机；货物提升机和穿梭车换层提升机分别独立驱动控制、独立提升货物或穿梭车；立体仓库货架与货物提升机之间还需设置起缓存作用的暂存台(穿梭车将货物从立体仓库货架中取出并将货物存至暂存台，暂存台将货物移送至货物提升机上)，占地空间大、提升设备的使用效率较低、成本投入高。
针对前述仓储分拣系统的出库、回库效率不高、出库拣货回库流程复杂、占地空间大、提升设备使用效率较低、成本投入高的问题，目前尚未提出有效解决方案。
发明内容
本发明旨在解决上述问题，提供一种一体化提升机、存取系统及订单履行系统，采用提升机构直接对接拣选站，能够实现将货箱直接从提升机输送至拣选站的功能，无需现有技术中的复杂输送线体中转、输送货箱，简化了出库分拣流程，提高了出库效率，大大降低了投入成本。存取系统与拣选站采用一体化设计，构成了一个整体设备，除了大大降低了投入成本外，也节省了现有技术中的复杂输送线体所占用的空间使用成本。进一步地，提升机通过设置一体化的提升单元具有双重功能，既能够实现穿梭车换层的功能，又能实现运输货物的功能；穿梭车升降托盘和缓存平台共用一个驱动系统实现同时升降的功能，大大降低了占地空间和设备安装难度，降低了提升机投入成本。除此以外，存取系统、拣选站呈模块化设计，可以根据实际需求进行扩展，满足多样化需求，适应性广。

具体实施方式
为了更了解本发明的技术内容，特举具体实施例并配合上述所附图式说明如下。
根据本发明的较优实施例，提出了一种穿梭车货物一体化提升机，如图1至图5所示，该提升机配合穿梭车立库系统使用。为更清楚地阐述该提升机，在此先简要介绍下穿梭车立库系统，如图1至图11所示，穿梭车立库系统(该立库系统在本专利申请里也称为存取系统1)具有多层货架1-1和穿梭车1-3。存取系统1可以灵活对称设置两排多层货架1-1，两排多层货架1-1之间彼此平行并形成一条巷道1-2，穿梭车1-3在巷道1-2中运行。穿梭车巷道1-2具有巷道第一位置1-2a和巷道第二位置1-2b。穿梭车1-3具有伸缩货叉，伸缩货 叉可双向伸缩并存取货物或者货箱7(如纸箱或者周转箱)。在一些优选的实施例中，穿梭车1-3不仅能在该穿梭车巷道1-2内运行；还可以在垂直于巷道1-2的另一条巷道(附图未示出)中运行，即穿梭车为两向穿梭车或者四向穿梭车。
如图1至图5所示，该提升机包括一动力系统(附图未示出)以及一提升单元2。提升单元2通过动力系统控制进行升降。提升单元2包括用于输送穿梭车1-3的穿梭车升降托盘2-3和至少一组用于输送货物或者货箱7(如纸箱或者周转箱)的缓存平台。穿梭车升降托盘2-3和缓存平台2-1、2-2呈一体化设置，即穿梭车升降托盘2-3和缓存平台2-1、2-2构成一个整体，并共用一个动力系统实现同步升降的功能。
应当说明的是，穿梭车1-3和前述动力系统是本领域所熟知的技术，根据本发明的公开可以使用现有的，或者未来开发的任何适当的结构。
进一步举例来阐述该一体化提升机，参照图1至图5的俯视布局示意图，以包括2组缓存平台2-1、2-2的提升机为例，2组缓存平台2-1、2-2并列设置在穿梭车升降托盘2-3的两侧；2组缓存平台2-1、2-2均为辊筒输送机。当然，2组缓存平台2-1、2-2也可以选择其他类型的输送机构替代。每组缓存平台2-1、2-2可允许同时放置至少2件货物或货箱7，起到了缓存作用。当穿梭车1-3需要换层时，穿梭车1-3从穿梭车立库系统沿穿梭车巷道1-2驶出，并移动到穿梭车升降托盘2-3上(如图2所示)。当穿梭车1-3位于穿梭车升 降托盘2-3上时(如图2所示)，其可与两侧的缓存平台2-1、2-2对接，以进行穿梭车1-3与两侧缓存平台2-1、2-2之间的货箱7转移。如此，提升机的穿梭车升降托盘2-3既可用于为穿梭车1-3换层，也可用于为穿梭车1-3提供支撑平台，使得穿梭车1-3与两侧的缓存平台2-1、2-2对接，以对货物或者货箱7进行存取；缓存平台2-1、2-2升降可实现货物或者货箱7的升降，用于输送货物和货箱7上升、下降。当然，在某些优选的实施例中，穿梭车1-3沿穿梭车巷道1-2从存取系统1中驶出、无需移动到穿梭车升降托盘2-3上，仅需移动到靠近穿梭车升降托盘2-3的位置(即穿梭车巷道第一位置1-2a)就可与两侧的缓存平台2-1、2-2对接(如图1所示)，以进行穿梭车1-3与两侧缓存平台2-1、2-2之间的货箱7转移。
本发明提出的较优实施例的穿梭车货物一体化提升机，现详细阐述其工作原理：
当需要取出货物或者货箱7时，如图1结合图2所示，穿梭车1-3从立库系统的多层货架1-1中取出货物或者货箱7，并移动至穿梭车巷道第一位置1-2a或者移动至穿梭车升降平台2-3上；穿梭车1-3将货物或者货箱7转移至提升机的缓存平台2-1、2-2上；缓存平台2-1、2-2带动货物或者货箱7作下降移动；货物或者货箱7从缓存平台2-1、2-2直接输送至外界；完成取出作业。
当需要向立库系统多层货架1-1内存入货物或者货箱7时，如图1结合图2所示，货物或者货箱7从外界进入缓存平台2-1、2-2上，缓存平台2-1、2-2带着其上放置的货物或者货箱7移动至指定层的 货架的高度，穿梭车1-3移动至穿梭车巷道第一位置1-2a或者移动至穿梭车升降平台2-3上、并将货物或者货箱7从缓存平台2-1、2-2上取出；穿梭车1-3带着货物或者货箱7沿着立库系统巷道1-2移动，并将货物或者货箱7存入至存取系统1的多层货架1-1上，完成存入作业。
当穿梭车1-3需要换层时，如图1结合图2所示，穿梭车1-3直接移动至穿梭车升降托盘2-3上(如图2所示)，然后跟随穿梭车升降托盘2-3升降至指定层的高度，最后从穿梭车升降托盘2-3移动至该层的穿梭车巷道1-2，完成换层。
如此，该提升机通过设置一体化的提升单元2而具有双重功能，既能够实现穿梭车1-3换层的功能，又能实现运输货物或者货箱7的功能；穿梭车升降托盘2-3和缓存平台2-1、2-2呈一体化设计，并共用一个动力系统实现同步升降的功能，大大降低了占地空间和设备安装难度，降低了投入成本。
根据本发明的改进，还提出一种存取系统1，如图1至图13所示，存取系统1包括前述的穿梭车货物一体化提升机、多层货架1-1以及穿梭车1-3。
为了增加存储空间，存取系统1可以灵活对称设置两排多层货架1-1，两排多层货架1-1之间彼此平行并形成一条巷道1-2，穿梭车1-3在巷道1-2中运行。每层货架均包括多个货位。优选地，多层货架1-1呈模块化设计，可灵活地根据实际存储需求进行扩展、延伸,如沿着巷道1-2的纵长方向加长货架(如图10所示)；亦可以在货 架的深度方向加深，如多深位货架。前述多层货架1-1是本领域所熟知的技术，根据本发明的公开可以使用现有的，或者未来开发的任何适当的结构。值得注意的是，前述货架的结构和方式可以适用于不同大小的货箱7(如纸箱或周转箱)，或者直接支撑货物。本发明提出的存取系统1呈模块化设置，本领域的技术人员可根据实际需求扩展、延伸呈多组存取系统，多组存取系统1之间呈并列设置。
前述第一位置1-2a，其为巷道1-2靠近穿梭车升降托盘2-3的一端，巷道第一位置1-2a延伸至多层货架1-1外。当穿梭车1-3移动到巷道第一位置1-2a时(如图1所示)，穿梭车1-3位于多层货架1-1外，此时穿梭车1-3可直接与缓存平台2-1、2-2对接(无需进入提升单元2内)，以进行穿梭车1-3与缓存平台2-1、2-2之间的货箱7转移。穿梭车1-3可从第一位置1-2a移动至穿梭车升降托盘2-3上。当穿梭车1-3位于穿梭车升降托盘2-3上时(如图2所示)，其也可与缓存平台2-1、2-2对接，以进行穿梭车1-3与缓存平台2-1、2-2之间的货箱7转移。如此，该存取系统1可以根据实际订单任务需求(WCS系统指令)调度穿梭车1-3在巷道第一位置1-2a或者穿梭车升降托盘2-3上进行穿梭车1-3与缓存平台2-1、2-2之间的货箱7转移；灵活多变，适应性广。
在某些优选的实施例中，如图3、图4结合图5所示，多层货架1-1与缓存平台2-1、2-2之间分别设置有暂存台。在本实施例中，暂存台的数量为2台；2台暂存台1-4、1-5分别与2组缓存平台2-1、2-2对接，以进行暂存台1-4、1-5与缓存平台2-1、2-2之间的货物 或货箱7转移。通常情况下，暂存台的实时输送方向与缓存平台的实时输送方向相同。在本实施例中，暂存台1-4、1-5为辊筒输送机，可允许同时放置1个或者多个货物或者货箱7，起到暂存作用。当然，暂存台1-4、1-5也可以选择其他类型的输送机构替代。前述巷道第二位置1-2b位于暂存台侧面、并靠近前述第一位置1-2a，也位于多层货架1-1外。当穿梭车1-3移动到巷道第二位置1-2b时(如图3所示)，穿梭车1-3位于多层货架1-1外，此时穿梭车1-3可直接与暂存台1-4、1-5对接，以进行穿梭车1-3与暂存台1-4、1-5之间的货箱7转移。
本发明提出的较优实施例的存取系统1，现详细阐述其工作原理：
取出流程：
当需要取出货物或者货箱7时，穿梭车1-3从立库系统的多层货架1-1中取出货物或者货箱7，并移动至穿梭车巷道第一位置1-2a或者移动至穿梭车升降平台2-3上；穿梭车1-3将货物或者货箱7转移至提升机的缓存平台2-1、2-2上；缓存平台2-1、2-2带动货物或者货箱7作下降移动；货物或者货箱7从缓存平台2-1、2-2直接输送至外界；完成取出作业。在某些具有暂存台1-4、1-5的实施例中，还具有另一种实施方式，穿梭车1-3从立库系统多层货架1-1中取出货物或者货箱7，并移动至穿梭车巷道第二位置1-2b，穿梭车1-3将货物或者货箱7转移至暂存台1-4、1-5上；暂存台1-4、1-5将货物或者货箱7转移至缓存平台2-1、2-2上，缓存平台2-1、2-2带动货 物或者货箱7作下降移动；货物或者货箱7从缓存平台2-1、2-2直接输送至外界，完成取出作业。
存入流程：
当需要向立库系统内存入货物或者货箱7时，货物或者货箱7从外界进入缓存平台2-1、2-2上，缓存平台2-1、2-2带着其上放置的货物或者货箱7移动至指定层的货架的高度，穿梭车1-3移动至穿梭车巷道第一位置1-2a或者移动至穿梭车升降平台2-3上、并将货物或者货箱7从缓存平台2-1、2-2上取出；穿梭车1-3带着货物或者货箱7移动至立库系统内，并将货物或者货箱7存入至立库系统的多层货架1-1上。在某些具有暂存台1-4、1-5的实施例中，还具有另一种实施方式，货物或者货箱7从外界进入缓存平台2-1、2-2上，缓存平台2-1、2-2带着其上放置的货物或者货箱7移动至指定层的货架的高度，货物或者货箱7从缓存平台2-1、2-2转移至暂存台1-4、1-5上，穿梭车1-3移动至穿梭车巷道第二位置1-2b；并将货物或者货箱7从暂存台1-4、1-5上取出；穿梭车1-3带着货物或者货箱7移动至立库系统内，并将货物或者货箱7存入至立库系统的多层货架1-1上，完成存入作业。
换层流程：
当穿梭车1-3需要换层时，穿梭车1-3直接移动至穿梭车升降托盘2-3上，然后跟随穿梭车升降托盘2-3升降至指定层的高度，最后从穿梭车升降托盘2-3移动至穿梭车巷道1-2，完成换层。
如此，存取系统1通过一体化提升机的巧妙设计以及货架1-1、穿梭车巷道1-2、暂存台1-4、1-5的巧妙布局，能够实现穿梭车1-3与缓存平台2-1、2-2之间的货物转移，亦能实现穿梭车1-3与暂存台1-4、1-5之间的货物转移，还可以实现暂存台1-4、1-5与缓存平台2-1、2-2之间的货物转移；货物转移方式可根据实际需求实时调整、灵活多变，适应性强，并且在保证较高存取效率的前提下大大降低了整个存取系统的投入成本。整个存取系统的成本约为现有技术中同规模存取系统(立库+穿梭车+穿梭车提升机+2台货物提升机)的40％；而存取效率又能达到现有技术中存取系统(立库+穿梭车+穿梭车提升机+2台货物提升机)的效率，带来较大的经济利益的同时也利于本发明提出的存取系统(一体化提升机+穿梭车+多层货架)得到更广泛地推广、应用。
根据本发明的改进，还提出一种订单履行系统，如图6、图8结合图11所示，设备包括前述的存取系统1、以及收货站10。收货站10可与穿梭车货物一体化提升机的缓存平台2-1、2-2对接，以进行收货站10与缓存平台2-1、2-2之间的货箱7转移。如此，货物或者货箱7放置在托盘等运送设备6上、并从收货站10直接入库存储(货物或者货箱7从收货站10转移至缓存平台2-1、2-2上，缓存平台2-1、2-2带着其上放置的货物或者货箱7作升降移动至指定层的货架高度，后续的入库作业流程同前述存取系统的存入流程，在此不再赘述。)
根据本发明的改进，还提出一种订单履行系统，如图7、图9结合图11所示，系统包括前述的存取系统1以及拣选站3。拣选站3具有两个输送入口3-1、3-2。两个输送入口3-1、3-2分别设置在拣选站主体的两侧，两个输送入口3-1、3-2分别与两组缓存平台2-1、2-2直接对接，以进行缓存平台2-1、2-2与拣选站3之间的货箱7转移。每台一体化提升机对应于至少一台拣选站3。
当货物或者货箱7需要出库分拣时，将货箱7从多层货架1-1取出到放置到缓存平台2-1、2-2的作业流程同前述存取系统的取出流程，在此不再赘述。货箱7放置到缓存平台2-1、2-2上，缓存平台2-1、2-2带动货物或者货箱7作下降移动；货物或者货箱7从缓存平台2-1、2-2直接输送至拣选站3，操作人员或者机器人在拣选站3对货物或者货箱7完成拣选。当货物或者货箱7需要回库时，完成拣选的货物或者货箱7直接从拣选站7输送至缓存平台2-1、2-2上；缓存平台2-1、2-2带动货物或者货箱7作上升移动；后续货物或者货箱7的回库流程同前述的存取系统的存入流程，在此不再赘述。如此，无需设置复杂输送线体在一体化提升机与拣选站3之间，大大提高了订单履行系统的出库、分拣、回库作业效率，节省了空间，降低了成本。
在一些优选的实施例中，如图11所示，拣选站呈多层设置，每层拣选站包括至少一台拣选站3。每台拣选站3，均可与缓存平台2-1、2-2对接，以进行缓存平台2-1、2-2与拣选站3之间的货箱7转移。
当该系统因为需求扩展、延伸到多组时(如图12和图13所示)，为降低一体化提升机的工作量，保证回库的作业效率，如图12至图14所示，每层拣选站均对应设有一输送线体4；该系统还设有辅助共享货物提升机4-2。
每层拣选站包括多台拣选站3。同层之间的多台拣选站3之间并列设置。
输送线体可将同层的多台拣选站3之间连通、和/或可将缓存平台2-1、2-2与某层拣选站3之间连通，使得多台拣选站3、以及多组存储系统的一体化提升机之间的货物(或者货箱7)能够任意输送。如此，当货箱7在当前拣选站3完成拣选后，能够直接转移至其它拣选站3(此处的其它拣选站3包括同层的其它拣选站和非同层其它拣选站)进行拣选，直到该货箱7完成了所有拣选任务后再回库，大大降低了货箱7出库、回库频率和次数，提高了该订单履行系统的整体履行效率。
优选地，如图13结合图14所示，输送线体4包括多条输送线，每条输送线之间可连通以输送货箱7。输送线体4还包括移载输送装置4-1。移载输送装置4-1设置在货物或者货箱7需要换向的位置，用于进行缓存平台2-1、2-2与拣选站3之间的货箱7(或者货物)的换向转移、多条输送线之间的货箱7(或者货物)的换向转移、以及多条输送线与拣选站3之间的货箱7(或者货物)的换向转移，使得多台拣选站3、多条输送线、以及多组存取系统的多台一体化提升机之间的货箱7(或者货物)能够任意流通。
前述辅助共享货物提升机4-2可与每层输送线体4对接。如此，该系统可以通过辅助共享货物提升机4-2来完成每层拣选站之间的货箱7(或者货物)转移，结合输送线体4还可以实现多台拣选站3、多条输送线、以及多组存取系统的多台一体化提升机之间的货箱7(或者货物)转移，大大降低了一体化提升机的工作量。
参照图11、图12结合图13的俯视布局示意图，以包括2组模块化存取系统1、3层拣选站、输送线体4以及辅助共享货物提升机4-2的系统为例，当货箱7(或者货物)需要出库时，穿梭车2-3从多层货架1-1中取出货箱7，沿巷道2-21移动至巷道第一位置2-21a或者移动至穿梭车升降托盘2-3上；穿梭车2-3将货物或者货箱7转移至缓存平台2-1、2-2上；缓存平台2-1、2-2带动货箱7(或者货物)作下降移动到指定层的拣选站高度；货箱7(或者货物)从缓存平台2-1、2-2通过输送线体4输送至指定层的拣选站3，操作人员或者机器人在拣选站3对货箱7(或者货物)完成拣选；完成拣选后，通过输送线体4和/或辅助共享货物提升机4-2将货箱7从该拣选站3转移至其它拣选站3(此处的其它拣选站3包括同层的其它拣选站和非同层其它拣选站)进行拣选直到该货箱7完成所有拣选作业，再将该货箱7回库。当货箱7(或者货物)需要回库时，完成拣选的货箱7(或者货物)通过输送线体4从拣选站3输送至辅助共享货物提升机4-2上(当然也可以直接输送至缓存平台2-1、2-2上，直接输送至缓存平台2-1、2-2上回库的具体实施方式，在前述实施例中已经详细阐述，在此仅阐述通过辅助共享货物提升机4-2回库的技术方 案)。辅助共享货物提升机4-2带动货箱7(或者货物)作上升移动并转移至指定层的输送线体4；再通过输送线体4再将货箱7(或者货物)转移至货物提升机2-1、2-2，穿梭车2-3沿巷道2-21移动至巷道第一位置2-21a或者移动至穿梭车升降托盘2-3上、将货箱7(或者货物)从缓存平台2-1、2-2上取出；穿梭车2-3将货箱7(或者货物)存入至多层货架1-1上。
在某些优选的实施例中，系统还包括其他设备。其它设备包括收货站10、打包站和螺旋式输送装置中的至少1种。
如图11所示，收货站10，通常设置在底层，可与缓存平台2-1、2-2对接，以进行收货站10与缓存平台2-1、2-2之间的货箱转移。货物或者货箱7放置在托盘等运送设备6上、并从收货站10直接入库，无需另外设置复杂的输入线体入库，大大降低了成本，节省了占地空间，简化了订单履行作业流程。
如图9所示，打包站5，与拣选站3对接，用于为完成分拣的货物进行打包。如此，货物或者货箱7在打包站5直接打包发货，无需另外设置复杂的输入线体发货，大大降低了成本，节省了占地空间，简化了订单履行系统的收货、出库、拣选作业流程。
如图11以及图15所示，螺旋式输送装置8，与每层拣选站的每台拣选站3均可对接；用于将在各层拣选站完成分拣的货物或在打包站5完成打包的货箱7直接输送至外界发货装置9。如此，货物或者货箱7通过螺旋式输送装置8输送直接至外界发货装置9内，无需另外设置复杂的输入线体发货。
如此，本发明提出的多种具体实施例的订单履行系统，其存取系统1、拣选站3、收货站10、打包站5整体采用一体化设计，构成了一个整体设备，除了大大降低了投入成本外，也节省了现有技术中的复杂输送线体所占用的空间使用成本；简化了订单履行系统的入库、分拣、打包作业流程，提高了入库、分拣、打包、出货效率。
虽然本发明已以较佳实施例揭露如上，然其并非用以限定本发明。本发明所属技术领域中具有通常知识者，在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内，当可作各种的更动与润饰。因此，本发明的保护范围当视权利要求书所界定者为准。
