In the above system, the receiving and transmitting ports 23 of each layer in the stereo garage 21 are configured to only accommodate a single cargo pallet, the female channel 22 is connected in series to the rear ends of the receiving and transmitting ports 23 of the layer, and the front ends of the receiving and transmitting ports 23 are configured to be in an open structure, so that the cargo can be directly extracted by the forklift. For making things convenient for AGV fork truck transport goods, shorten its travel distance, promote goods throughput efficiency, can set up the goods of keeping in and be parallel to the receiving and dispatching port 23 of three-dimensional storehouse 21 and arrange to set up the interval distance between goods of keeping in and receiving and dispatching port 23 to be greater than the turning radius of AGV fork truck 4, like this, can directly be according to the play storehouse interface position of goods in the three-dimensional storehouse 21, directly turn to the goods tray put into on the goods of keeping in to this interface position, with further compression fork truck transfer process, shorten the goods and keep in the transfer duration that consumes.
For convenience to mix different kinds of goods to promote the utilization efficiency of three-dimensional storehouse 21 storage space, this application still preferably is provided with female passageway 22 respectively between receiving and dispatching port 23 and other storage positions to be provided with female passageway 22 equally between different storage position subregions, therefore, utilize the storage position of separating between the different female passageway 22 to be used for depositing different grade type goods respectively. When the separated storage areas can not receive the new types of cargoes in the idle areas, the new types of cargoes can be stored in the areas with more empty storage spaces for mixing and placing, so that the utilization efficiency of the storage spaces is further improved.
For the two main application scenes, the total height of the three-dimensional warehouse can be generally limited to be below 7m, so that the three-dimensional warehouse can be conveniently and directly connected with a high-position AGV forklift to realize the docking with the temporary storage area to go out and put in. The beam shelves used in the existing temporary storage area are generally arranged in a way that two depths are opposite, and two-way channels are respectively arranged on the left side and the right side of the two-depth shelves. The temporary storage mode has low storage density and large occupied area, and is inconvenient for picking cargoes. The racks of the buffer can thus be arranged in this application directly in the form of stacks with a height of less than 1m or in the form of single-advance inline picking stations. The ground pile can be conveniently assembled and coiled manually, and the fork trucks in different forms such as AGVs are directly utilized to realize warehouse entry and fork taking; the picking station can directly realize the goods to person function, and the picking personnel wait respectively on each station, wait respectively that AGV fork truck carries the goods tray that will draw to the picking station, trigger after extracting corresponding goods from the temporary storage tray and return the storehouse flow, wait to change the new tray and draw, and then realize the high-efficient of multiclass goods and select. In the warehouse returning process, the idle stacking AGV fork truck can be scheduled to the corresponding picking station in advance, and a picking operator is waited to trigger the warehouse returning process so as to directly transfer the rest trays to the three-dimensional warehouse. The other trays to be extracted can be directly triggered to transfer the new trays to be picked from the entrance and the exit of the three-dimensional warehouse to the picking station of the target according to the reverse warehouse flow for extraction. Therefore, the system can effectively realize zero disassembly and sorting of goods in different trays in the three-dimensional warehouse, and realize classification dense storage and scattered extraction of different goods.
The layout of the cargo storage spaces between the parent aisles 22 in the stereoscopic warehouse may be flexibly organized according to the type and number of cargo in the warehouse. When the cargo types are more and the frequency of the in-out and the out-out of the storage is higher, the number of cargo storage space intervals between the mother passages 22 can be set to be smaller. When the number of the cargo storage spaces between the female passages 22 is small, the number of the cargo storage spaces between the female passages 22 can be increased accordingly.
In addition, referring to the open interface of the three-dimensional warehouse shown in fig. 6, 7 and 8, in order to facilitate the AGV fork truck to accurately align the position of the open interface of the three-dimensional warehouse and stably put in, reduce the risk of overturning the pallet, the application can further weld the structure of the pallet baffle edge 6 on the cross beams at the left and right sides of each bin of the three-dimensional warehouse rack along the picking and placing direction of the goods on each layer of open interface of the three-dimensional warehouse rack. The top of goods position flange can set up to buckle the slope to the goods shelves crossbeam outside, the bottom of goods position flange can direct welding be in the position of pressing close to goods shelves crossbeam inboard edge. Therefore, on each open interface in the three-dimensional warehouse, the goods position flanges on two sides of the goods position access opening can form an inverted trapezoid opening with the top opened and the bottom contracted inwards along the picking and placing direction of the goods, so that the goods are guided to enter the three-dimensional goods shelves by the goods position flanges 6 and the inwards inclined side walls, and the goods are accurately butted and fall onto the cross beams on the left side and the right side of each bin position of the three-dimensional warehouse goods shelves, so that the goods are prevented from being overturned or the four-way shuttle is prevented from stably lifting to realize the transportation of the goods due to the inclination of the goods placing positions.
In summary, compared with the warehouse-in aging shown in fig. 1, the method has the following advantages compared with the traditional warehouse-in and warehouse-out loading and unloading mode:
the construction cost is reduced: the conveying lifting device is saved at the warehouse-in and warehouse-out end, and a u-bot and other pile-up AGV fork truck is used for replacing the traditional lifting machine, so that the construction cost of a vertical warehouse can be effectively reduced;
and (3) reducing the height of the vertical warehouse system: the bottleneck of the building height of the vertical warehouse is a lifting machine device, the lifting machine is canceled in the scheme of the application, and the height of the warehouse can be maximally utilized by a shelf when the storage is available, so that dense storage is realized;
simplified library erecting system: the original WCS system needs to dispatch multiple devices, such as a lifter, a conveying line, a transfer machine and the like, and after the scheme is simplified, only a U-bot and other stacking type AGV fork truck and a four-way shuttle are needed to be dispatched, so that the device control system can be simplified, and the software development cost can be reduced;
shelf sorting combination: the goods shelf side-by-side design single deep goods space is specially used for picking operation, and can realize integration of storage and picking;
the more densely stored: in the conventional WMS, the stereo warehouse 21 is a dense storage scheme only for warehouses with few types of materials. The four-way shuttle is utilized to transport cargoes in the dense storage system, and in the three-dimensional warehouse 21, different partitions formed by separating different mother channels 22 are utilized to respectively improve the utilization rate of storage space for multiple varieties of materials. The system can realize the dense storage of multiple SKU materials by adopting strategies such as single roadway mixed placement, advanced warehouse moving and stock preparation, single stock preparation and the like. Under the mixed condition, a roadway can be provided with various materials, for example, the roadway is provided with trays, but each roadway is not fully filled, a new SKU is provided, if one roadway is provided with one material, the goods can not be put on the shelf, and the goods can be put on the shelf under the mixed strategy adopted by the application
Stock in advance: different materials are respectively stored in one roadway through dense storage of multiple varieties, and according to a traditional dense warehouse mode (namely a conveying and lifting access mode), efficient and timely warehouse-out is difficult to realize, the scheme can take out goods in advance through cooperation between a forklift and a temporary storage shelf to realize stock before picking, and the goods are delivered to a plurality of warehouse-out ports in advance according to a single warehouse-out mode, so that the warehouse-out timeliness can be improved;
according to the automatic conveying and lifting system, after the conveying and lifting system is canceled, the U-BOT and other AGV forklift equipment are adopted to replace a traditional conveying and lifting system, links of queuing and waiting in the material unloading process can be reduced, goods are directly transferred to temporary storage shelves in a picking area by different positions in the shelves by using forklifts, and one-stop point-to-point conveying is realized. In the application, the forklift equipment such as u-bot can transport materials to any appointed floor, has lifting and stacking functions, and can pick up and put goods on all floors in rated height, so that goods picking and putting goods taking are more convenient to carry out at different interface positions of the three-dimensional warehouse 21
U-BOT application: U-BOT is intelligent innovation of intelligent warehouse and independently developed omni-directional stacking AGV fork truck, and can take goods from a high-level goods shelf. The U-BOT can rotate in situ, and does not need very big turning radius like traditional AGV fork truck, so this application can more fully utilize the storage space, increases three-dimensional storehouse 21 and sets up the region, promotes storage capacity. AGV fork truck that this application adopted, its performance parameter is also superior to the similar fork truck in market
Flexibility and high expandability: the four-way shuttle and the forklift are flexible single-machine equipment, and each equipment can independently and independently complete tasks, so that in the warehousing system provided by the application, the number of the equipment can be increased by a customer according to service requirements, and the expansibility is high;
the system is simple and efficient in hierarchy: the U-BOT is adopted to replace a conveying lifting device, and the WCS system can be utilized to directly realize the cooperation and the dispatching of the AGV fork truck and the four-way truck, so that the warehouse-in and warehouse-out task is completed. Therefore, the system can more flexibly realize the picking and placing of cargoes in the stereo warehouse 21, and directly cancel the electric control system for conveying and lifting without affecting the low throughput efficiency of the system, so that the system is simpler in hierarchy, easier to realize, less in site installation work and faster in delivery.
The foregoing is merely exemplary of embodiments of the present application and is thus not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be noted that it would be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements could be made without departing from the spirit of the present application, which would be within the scope of the present application.
