It is understood that, in the case where the transfer robot 100 is just located between the first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22 and is about to enter the aisle 202, if the position of the transfer robot 100 is slightly deviated, for example, slightly inclined toward the first storage rack group 21 side, since the protruding height of the first support 131 located at the end portion is small, the transfer robot can still enter the aisle 202 along the first stopper surface 231, and thus, the protruding height of the first support 131 located at the end portion is set to be small, which can achieve the effect of correcting the deviation of the transfer robot 100.
In the embodiment of the present application, in the solution in which the support member is located on the side of the robot body 101, the case in which the support member is located between the top and the bottom of the robot body 101 is also included. In this embodiment, the arrangement, layout, etc. of the supporting members are similar to those on the movable base 102. It should be noted that it is preferable that,
fig. 7 is a schematic perspective view illustrating another structure of a transfer robot according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 8 is a partial enlarged view of fig. 7 at D; fig. 9 is a left side view of the transfer robot shown in fig. 7, and fig. 10 is a partial enlarged view at E of fig. 9; fig. 11 is a plan view of the transfer robot shown in fig. 7, and fig. 12 is a partial enlarged view of fig. 11 at F; fig. 13 is a front view of the transfer robot shown in fig. 7, and fig. 14 is a partial enlarged view at G of fig. 13; fig. 15 is a schematic structural view of the transfer robot according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the middle support member and the limiting portion are engaged with each other.
In this embodiment, in the case where the supporting member is located between the top and the bottom of the robot body 101, the supporting member is denoted by reference numeral 14, and the position-limiting portion provided on the first stocker group 21 is also referred to as a first position-limiting portion 23 ', and the position-limiting surface on the first position-limiting portion 23 ' is also referred to as a first position-limiting surface 231 '; the stopper portion provided on the second stocker group 22 is also referred to as a second stopper portion 24 ', and the stopper surface on the second stopper portion 24 ' is also referred to as a second stopper surface 241 '.
Wherein at least a portion of the support member 14 may be located on a side of the column frame 103, for example, the support member 14 may be disposed on a side of the column 104. In this embodiment, the structure of the supporting member 14 is different from that of the above-described embodiment, and accordingly, the structures of the first stopper portion 23 'and the second stopper portion 24' are also different from that of the above-described embodiment.
Specifically, referring to fig. 15, the supporting member 14 near the second storage rack group 22 is taken as an example for description, it is understood that the supporting member near the first storage rack group 21 is similar to the supporting member 14 near the second storage rack group 22 in structure, and the description thereof is omitted here.
The support member adjacent to the second storage rack group 22 may include a support arm 12 and a roller 11, one end of the support arm 12 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the upright 104, and the roller 11 is supported on the second limiting surface 24'. For example, the support arm 12 may include a base 123, a protrusion 121, an extension 122, and a roller shaft 124, the base 123 is used for fixing with the upright 104, the protrusion 121 protrudes from the base 123 in a direction away from the robot body, the extension 122 is connected to an end of the protrusion 121, and the roller 11 is rotatably fixed on the extension 122 through a bearing and the roller shaft 124.
Referring to fig. 9, 10, and 15, the roller 11 may include a first roller 141 and a second roller 142 fixed to the extension portion 122, and rolling axes of the first roller 141 and the second roller 142 are perpendicular to each other. The limiting surface further comprises a third limiting surface 241 positioned on the first limiting part 23 ', and the first limiting surface 231 ' and the third limiting surface 241 corresponding to the same first limiting part 23 ' have an included angle; and/or the limiting surface further comprises a fourth limiting surface 242 positioned on the second limiting part 24 ', and the second limiting surface 241 ' and the fourth limiting surface 242 corresponding to the same second limiting part 24 ' have an included angle.
The first roller 141 and the second roller 142 may be respectively abutted with different limiting surfaces, for example, the second limiting surface 241 ' on the first roller 141 and the second limiting portion 24 ' is abutted, and the fourth limiting surface 242 on the second roller 142 and the second limiting portion 24 ' is abutted. The installation postures of the first roller 141 and the second roller 142 respectively correspond to the second limiting surface 241' and the fourth limiting surface 242.
For example, the wheel surface of the first roller 141 is horizontal, the axis of the first roller 141 is vertically disposed, and the second limiting surface 241' matched with the first roller 141 is vertically disposed; the wheel surface of the second roller 142 is vertical, the axis of the second roller 142 is horizontally arranged, and the fourth limiting surface 242 matched with the second roller 142 is horizontally arranged. In the present application, it is necessary to keep the rolling axis of the roller 11 parallel to the limiting surface engaged therewith.
In the example of fig. 15, the second limiting surface 241' and the fourth limiting surface 242 may be vertically disposed and have an intersecting line. The second position-limiting portion 24' may be, for example, a square steel or square pipe having a length direction extending in the direction of the aisle 202. It is understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the case that the second limiting surface 241' is vertical and the fourth limiting surface 242 is horizontally disposed is illustrated, and in practice, the angle of the limiting surface may also be selected according to needs, for example, the angle may be inclined downward.
Further, in order to prevent the transfer robot 100 from shaking more effectively, the number of the supports provided on the side of the robot body 101 may be plural, and refer to fig. 9 and 10, in which at least some of the supports are located on the opposite side of the robot body 101. This can prevent the robot body 101 from shaking in the first direction M perpendicular to the aisle 202. Corresponding to the supporting members 14 on both sides of the robot body 101, the storage racks on both sides of the transfer robot 100 are respectively provided with a first limiting portion 23 'and a second limiting portion 24'.
Referring to fig. 9 and 10, the first limiting portion 23 ' is disposed corresponding to the supporting member 14 close to the first storage rack set 21, and the first limiting surface 231 ' on the first limiting portion 23 ' has a height corresponding to the end of the supporting member 14 in the height direction, specifically, the height of the first limiting surface 231 ' substantially covers the wheel surface of the first roller 141 on the supporting member 14, so that the wheel surface of the first roller 141 can roll on the first limiting surface 231 '; the height of the third limiting surface 241 is the same as the highest point of the second roller 142. The corresponding relationship between the second position-limiting portion 24' and the supporting member near the second storage rack set 22 is similar, and will not be described herein again.
Further, the heights of the supporting members 14 located at the opposite sides of the robot body 101 are the same, and the heights of the first and second limiting portions 23 'and 24' located at the opposite sides of the transfer robot 100 are also the same, so that the pair of first and second limiting portions 23 'and 24' located on the storage rack actually forms a pair of guide rails, and the two first and second limiting surfaces 231 'and 241' having the same height form guide surfaces, so that the transfer robot 100 does not sway toward the first and second storage rack groups 21 and 22 when moving forward in the aisle 202 due to the guide of the two supporting members 14, i.e., the two first and second limiting surfaces 231 'and 241', and the two third and fourth limiting surfaces 241 and 242, which are opposite to each other.
In the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 11, 12, 13, and 14, as an alternative embodiment, at least some of the rollers 11, for example, the first rollers 141 are arranged at intervals in the advancing direction of the transfer robot 100, or the second rollers 142 are arranged at intervals in the advancing direction of the transfer robot 100. The contact positions of the stopper and the support member are arranged at intervals in the forward direction of the transfer robot 100, and the support of the transfer robot 100 is improved.
It can be understood that, taking the supporting member 14 shown in fig. 7, 8, and 15 as an example, when the transfer robot 100 has a tendency to swing toward the first storage rack group 21, the second roller 142 of the supporting member located at one side of the second storage rack group 22 abuts against the limit surface 242 corresponding to the second storage rack group 22, and the first roller 141 of the supporting member located at one side of the first storage rack group 21 abuts against the limit surface 241 corresponding to the first storage rack group 21, so that the transfer robot 100 can be prevented from swinging toward the first storage rack group 21. The mechanism for preventing the transfer robot 100 from shaking toward the second storage rack group 22 is similar to that described above, and will not be described here.
In the embodiment of the present application, the supporting member may be located above the robot body 101.
Fig. 16 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a still further structure of a transfer robot according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 17 is a partially enlarged view of fig. 16 at H; fig. 18 is a left side view of the transfer robot shown in fig. 16, and fig. 19 is a partially enlarged view at I of fig. 18; fig. 20 is a plan view of the transfer robot shown in fig. 16; fig. 21 is a front view of the transfer robot shown in fig. 16.
In this embodiment, in the case where the supporting member is located at the top of the robot body, the supporting member is denoted by reference numeral 15, the limiting portion is also referred to as a third limiting portion 25, and the limiting surface on the third limiting portion 25 is also referred to as a third limiting surface 251.
Referring to fig. 16, 17, 18, and 19, the support 15 is provided on the top of the pillar frame 103. The support member 15 includes a roller 11 and a support arm 12, one end of the support arm 12 is connected to the column frame 103, and the center of the roller 11 is rotatably connected to the support arm 12 typically through a bearing or the like.
Further, in order to make the rolling fit between the roller 11 and the third limiting portion 25 better, it is considered to provide a plurality of rollers 11, for example, the supporting member 15 provided at the top of the robot body 101 includes at least two coaxially disposed rollers 11, and the wheel diameters of at least two rollers 11 are the same and are sequentially arranged in the axial direction of the rollers 11. In fig. 18 and 19, a case is shown that one support member includes three rollers 11, and all three rollers 11 are connected to the same support arm 12, but the present application is not limited thereto, and in practice, the rollers 11 may be provided in other numbers as needed.
The third stopper 25 corresponding to the support member 15 is also located above the robot body 101. For example, referring to fig. 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21, the third stopper 25 is a linear guide, and the slide groove of the linear guide has two opposite groove walls, and the two groove walls form two third stopper surfaces 251, respectively. And the distance between the two third stoppers 251 matches the size of the end of the support member provided on the top of the transfer robot 100.
Thus, when the transfer robot 100 tends to shake toward the first stocker group 21, the third stopper surface 251 located on one side of the first stocker group 21 applies a force toward the second stocker group 22 to the roller 11, thereby preventing the transfer robot 100 from shaking toward the first stocker group 21; when the transfer robot 100 tends to shake toward the second storage rack group 22, the third limiting surface 251 located on the second storage rack group 22 applies a force toward the first storage rack group 21 to the roller 11, so as to prevent the transfer robot 100 from shaking toward one side of the second storage rack group 22.
In this embodiment, the transfer robot 100 includes the robot body 101 and the supporting member disposed on the robot body 101, and an end of the supporting member protrudes outside the robot body 101 and is used for abutting against the limiting portion on the storage rack to limit the shaking of the robot body 101 toward the storage rack. Through setting up support piece, like this, the robot is marchd in the passageway 202 between the storage goods shelves, or when carrying out getting of goods to the storage goods shelves and putting the operation, if the robot has the trend of rocking towards the storage goods shelves when, support piece's tip and the spacing portion butt on the storage goods shelves, the storage goods shelves block robot body 101 through support piece, thereby restriction robot body 101 is towards the rocking of storage goods shelves, the relatively poor condition of accuracy when can avoiding appearing goods and dropping or getting of goods, make transfer robot 100's handling efficiency higher.
Example two
The present embodiment provides a storage device 200, which is used in cooperation with the transfer robot 100 described in the first embodiment, wherein the structure, the operation principle, and the like of the transfer robot 100 have been described in detail in the first embodiment, and are not described herein again.
Fig. 22 is a schematic perspective view of a warehousing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 22, the warehousing device 200 of the embodiment at least includes a first warehousing rack group 21 and a second warehousing rack group 22 which are adjacently arranged and spaced, each of the first warehousing rack group 21 and the second warehousing rack group 22 includes at least one warehousing rack, and the transfer robot 100 can enter the passage 202 between the first warehousing rack group 21 and the second warehousing rack group 22 to perform the goods picking and placing operation.
The first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22 may each include at least one storage rack, and the storage rack may include a frame 205 and a storage board 206 disposed on the frame 205.
In fig. 22, the first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22 are illustrated as including two storage racks, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the number of the storage racks included in the first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22 may be other numbers.
The stocker 200 further includes a limiting portion provided on the storage shelf, and the limiting portion is used for abutting against an end of the support portion on the transfer robot 100 to limit the shaking of the transfer robot 100 toward the first storage shelf group 21 and/or the second storage shelf group 22. Like this advance in the robot in the passageway 202 between the storage goods shelves, or when carrying out getting of goods to the storage goods shelves and putting the operation, if transfer robot 100 has the trend of rocking towards the storage goods shelves when, support piece's tip and the spacing portion butt on the storage goods shelves, the storage goods shelves block robot body 101 through support piece, thereby restriction robot body 101 is towards rocking of storage goods shelves, the relatively poor condition of accuracy when can avoiding appearing goods and dropping or getting of goods, make transfer robot 100's handling efficiency higher.
Further, the limiting portion has a limiting surface, the limiting surface extends along the length direction of the passageway 202, and the limiting surface has a height corresponding to the end portion of the supporting member corresponding to the limiting surface in the height direction, so that the limiting portion and the supporting member are matched with each other.
In addition, in order to avoid the transfer robot 100 from shaking in the longitudinal direction of the entire aisle 202, the stopper surface may extend from one end of the first stocker group 21 to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the aisle 202; and/or the check surface extends from one end of the second storage rack group 22 to the other end in the length direction of the aisle 202. In this way, when the lengths of the first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22 in the extending direction of the aisle 202 are different, the robot can be prevented from shaking as much as possible.
The following description will be made based on the difference in the positions where the stopper portions are provided on the first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22.
The stopper is provided at the bottom ends of the first stocker group 21 and the second stocker group 22, corresponding to the case where the support member is provided at the bottom of the transfer robot 100. Referring to fig. 22, the limiting portion includes a first limiting portion 23, the limiting surface includes a first limiting surface 231 located on the first limiting portion 23, and the first limiting portion 23 is connected to the side surface of the first storage rack set 21 facing the second storage rack set 22, so that the first limiting surface 231 on the first limiting portion 23 is matched with the supporting member 13, and the carrying robot 100 can be prevented from shaking towards the first limiting portion 23.
Further, the limiting portion may further include a second limiting portion 24, the limiting surface includes a second limiting surface 241 located on the second limiting portion 24, and the second limiting portion 24 is connected to a side surface of the second storage rack set 22 facing the first storage rack set 21. In this way, the second limiting surface 241 of the second limiting portion 24 is engaged with the corresponding supporting member 13, so that the transfer robot 100 can be prevented from shaking toward the second limiting portion 24.
It should be noted that, when the position-limiting portion includes the first position-limiting portion 23 and the second position-limiting portion 24, the number of the first position-limiting surfaces 231 is the same as that of the second position-limiting surfaces 241, and the first position-limiting surfaces 231 and the second position-limiting surfaces 241 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner. For example, the first and second stopper surfaces 231 and 241 have the same height from the ground and are oppositely disposed such that the first stopper portion 23 and the second stopper portion 24 form a track, and the first and second stopper surfaces 231 and 241 can guide the ends of the two supports 13 of the transfer robot 100 to support the transfer robot 100 on both sides.
Referring to fig. 22, illustratively, the first stopper portion includes a rising portion 2311 for forming the first stopper surface 231 and a support portion 2312 for supporting the rising portion 2311 on the ground, ends of the rising portion 2311 and the support portion 2312 are connected to each other, the rising portion 2311 is a plate-shaped member, and the rising portion 2311 extends in a longitudinal direction of the aisle 202. The second position-limiting portion 24 and the first position-limiting portion 23 have similar structures, and are not described in detail herein.
In the present embodiment, the stopper is provided between the top and bottom ends of the first and second stocker groups 21 and 22, corresponding to the case where the support member is provided between the top and bottom of the transfer robot 100.
Fig. 23 is a schematic perspective view illustrating another structure of a warehousing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 24 is a schematic structural view illustrating a limiting member in the warehousing device of fig. 23.
Referring to fig. 23 and 24, the stopper portion includes a first stopper portion 23 ', the stopper surface includes a first stopper surface 231 ' located on the first stopper portion 23 ', and the first stopper portion 23 ' is connected to a side surface of the first storage rack group 21 facing the second storage rack group 22, so that the first stopper surface 231 ' on the first stopper portion 23 ' is engaged with the supporting member 14, and the transfer robot 100 can be prevented from shaking toward the first stopper portion 23 '.
Further, the stopping portion may further include a second stopping portion 24 ', the stopping surface includes a second stopping surface 241' located on the second stopping portion 24 ', and the second stopping portion 24' is connected to a side surface of the second storage rack set 22 facing the first storage rack set 21. Thus, the second position-limiting surface 241 ' of the second position-limiting portion 24 ' is engaged with the corresponding support member 14, so that the transfer robot 100 is prevented from shaking toward the second position-limiting portion 24 '.
In order to better support the transfer robot 100, the limiting surface further includes a third limiting surface 232 located on the first limiting portion 23 ', and the first limiting surface 231 ' and the third limiting surface 232 corresponding to the same first limiting portion 23 ' have an included angle.
Further, the limiting surface further includes a fourth limiting surface 242 located on the second limiting portion 24 ', and the second limiting surface 241 ' and the fourth limiting surface 242 corresponding to the same second limiting portion 24 ' have an included angle.
Fig. 24 shows a case where the first stopper surface 231 'and the third stopper surface 232 are disposed vertically, and the second stopper surface 241' and the fourth stopper surface 242 are disposed vertically. In this case, as described in the first embodiment, when the transfer robot 100 tends to swing toward the first stocker group 21, the second roller 142 of the right-side support member 14 abuts against the fourth stopper surface 242 corresponding to the second stocker group 22, and the first roller 141 of the left-side support member 14 abuts against the first stopper surface 231' corresponding to the first stocker group 21, so that the transfer robot 100 can be prevented from swinging toward the first stocker group 21. The mechanism for preventing the transfer robot 100 from shaking toward the second storage rack group 22 is similar to that described above, and will not be described here.
It should be noted that, when the position-limiting portion includes the first position-limiting portion 23 'and the second position-limiting portion 24', the first position-limiting surfaces 231 'and the second position-limiting surfaces 241' are the same in number and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The third position-limiting surfaces 232 and the fourth position-limiting surfaces 242 are the same in number and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
Fig. 25 is a schematic perspective view illustrating another structure of a warehousing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 26 is a schematic structural view illustrating a limiting part in the warehousing device of fig. 25, and fig. 27 is a schematic partial structural view illustrating a third limiting part in the warehousing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 25, 26, and 27, the stopper portion is positioned on the top of the storage shelf. Specifically, the limiting part includes a third limiting part 25, and the limiting surface includes two spaced and oppositely disposed third limiting surfaces 251 located on the third limiting part 25. Because the top of the transfer robot 100 shakes seriously during operation or movement, the top of the transfer robot 100 has a better anti-shaking effect when limiting the top.
Further, the distance between the two third limiting surfaces 251 is matched with the size of the end of the supporting member 15 provided on the top of the transfer robot 100. That is, the distance between the two third limiting surfaces 251 is matched with the wheel diameter of the roller.
Illustratively, the third position-limiting portion 25 is a linear guide rail extending along the length direction of the aisle 202, and the slot 151 of the sliding slot of the linear guide rail faces the top of the transfer robot 100, and the sliding slot has two opposite slot walls, and the two slot walls respectively form two third position-limiting surfaces 251.
In this way, the roller 11 of the supporting member 15 can extend into the sliding slot of the third limiting portion 25, and the wheel surface of the roller 11 can be in rolling fit with the two third limiting surfaces 251. When the transfer robot 100 tends to shake toward the first stocker group 21, the third stopper surface 251 close to the first stocker group 21 is engaged with the roller 11, thereby preventing the transfer robot 100 from shaking. When the transfer robot 100 has a tendency to shake toward the second stocker group 22, the third stopper surface 251 close to the second stocker group 22 prevents the transfer robot 100 from shaking toward the second stocker group 22 by cooperating with the rollers 11.
Referring to fig. 26, in order to mount the third position-limiting portion 25 on the top end of the storage shelf, the storage apparatus 200 may include a cross beam 105, the cross beam 105 is connected between the first storage shelf group 21 and the second storage shelf group 22, and the third position-limiting portion 25 may be connected to the cross beam 105, specifically, to the lower end surface of the cross beam 105.
As an alternative embodiment, the storage apparatus 200 includes a mounting rack 208, the mounting rack 208 includes a horizontally disposed mounting frame 2081, and a mounting leg 2082 connected to the mounting frame 2081 and protruding from the mounting frame 2081 in a direction away from the mounting frame 2081, the mounting leg 2082 can be fixed on each storage rack to mount the mounting rack 208 between the first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to make the transfer robot 100 enter the aisle 202 more easily, a guide surface is provided at an end of the limiting portion in the length direction of the aisle 202, one end of the guide surface is continuous with the limiting surface, and the other end of the guide surface is inclined toward a direction away from the support.
For example, referring to fig. 23 and 24, the end portions of the first and second position-limiting portions 23 'and 24' are respectively provided with a guide surface 34 'and a guide surface 35', wherein the distance between the guide surface 34 'and the guide surface 35' gradually increases from the inside of the aisle 202 to the outside of the aisle 202, so that a gradually expanding channel is formed between the first position-limiting surface 231 'and the second position-limiting surface 241', and the entrance end of the transfer robot 100 can smoothly enter the aisle 202 when slightly deviating from the aisle 202.
Referring to fig. 26 and 27, the guide surfaces 34 and 35 are respectively disposed at the end portions of the two third limiting surfaces 251, wherein the distance between the guide surfaces 34 and 35 gradually increases from the inside of the aisle 202 to the outside of the aisle 202, so that a gradually expanding channel is formed between the two third limiting surfaces 251, which facilitates the smooth entry of the entry end of the transfer robot 100 into the aisle 202 when the entry end is slightly deviated from the aisle 202.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22 are provided with a limiting portion, and correspondingly, the transfer robot 100 is provided with a supporting member corresponding to the limiting portion of the first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22, so as to prevent the transfer robot 100 from shaking when the first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22 are operated by the cooperation of the supporting member and the corresponding limiting portion.
It should be understood that the first and second storage rack groups 21 and 22 mentioned in this application may be any two adjacent storage rack groups included in the stocker 200. Fig. 28 is a schematic perspective view of another structure of a warehousing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 28, the storage shelf group 209 located at the leftmost side of the paper surface and the storage shelf group 210 located at the middle of the paper surface are the first storage shelf group 21 and the second storage shelf group 22, and have the stopper portion and the support member in the above-described embodiment.
The storage shelf group 210 located in the middle of the paper surface and the storage shelf group 211 located on the right side of the paper surface may be a first storage shelf group 21 and a second storage shelf group 22, which are each other, and also have the limiting part and the supporting part in the above scheme. Thus, the first storage rack group 21 and the second storage rack group 22 mentioned in the present application are relative concepts, and may refer to any adjacent storage rack group.
EXAMPLE III
Fig. 29 is a schematic perspective view of a warehousing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 29, the present embodiment provides a warehousing system 300 comprising: at least one transfer robot 100 according to the first embodiment and a stocker 200 according to the second embodiment. The specific structure and function of the transfer robot 100 have been described in detail in the first embodiment, and the specific structure and function of the stocker 200 have also been described in detail in the second embodiment, which are not described herein again.
The supporting member 1 of the transfer robot 100 is located at a position corresponding to the position-limiting portion 2 of the stocker 200, and the end of the corresponding supporting member 1 abuts against the position-limiting portion 2, so as to limit the shaking of the transfer robot 100 toward the stocker 200.
In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the supporting members provided on the side of the robot body 101 is plural, wherein at least some of the supporting members are located on the opposite sides of the robot body 101, and when the limiting portions include the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion, the first limiting portion, the second limiting portion, and the end portions of the supporting members have the same height, and at least some of the supporting members abut against the first limiting portion, and at least some of the supporting members abut against the second limiting portion. In this way, the robot body can be supported simultaneously on both side surfaces of the robot body.
Specifically, in the case that the support is located at the bottom of the robot body 101, reference is made to fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to illustrate a structure of the stocker system including the transfer robot 100 and the stocker 200.
