Description
本發明涉及一種箱子儲存系統中的升箱裝置。The invention relates to a lifting device in a box storage system.
申請人已知的AutoStore系統是包括三維儲存網格結構的儲存系統，其中儲存箱在彼此之上堆疊到一定高度。這種先前技術的系統如圖1所示。The AutoStore system known to the Applicant is a storage system comprising a three-dimensional storage grid structure in which the storage tanks are stacked on top of each other to a certain height. This prior art system is shown in Figure 1.
儲存系統10包括網格結構20，該網格結構被建構為由頂部軌道互連的鋁柱。在柱之間定義了垂直隔間，其中在該等垂直隔間中，儲存箱30可在彼此之上垂直堆疊。多個車輛40或機器人車輛安排在頂部軌道上，並且可以在儲存網格的頂部上水平移動。The storage system 10 includes a grid structure 20 that is constructed as an aluminum column interconnected by a top rail. Vertical compartments are defined between the columns, wherein in the vertical compartments, the storage bins 30 can be stacked vertically above each other. A plurality of vehicles 40 or robotic vehicles are arranged on the top rail and can be moved horizontally on top of the storage grid.
每個車輛配有升降器，該升降器用於拾取、承載及放置儲存在儲存網格中的儲存箱30。Each vehicle is equipped with a lifter for picking up, carrying and placing the storage bin 30 stored in the storage grid.
該系統還包括拾取及/或供應站60，其中一或更多個產品物品從儲存箱30被拾取，或者一或更多個產品物品被填放到儲存箱30中。The system also includes a pick and/or supply station 60 in which one or more product items are picked up from the storage bin 30 or one or more product items are filled into the storage bin 30.
當從儲存網格中取出儲存在儲存箱中的產品物品時，機器人車輛經安排以拾取包含該產品類型的儲存箱，接著將該儲存箱運送到升箱裝置50。升箱裝置將儲存箱運送到拾取及/或供應站60，其中該產品類型的物品從儲存箱中取出。具有剩餘產品物品的儲存箱隨後經由升箱裝置及機器人車輛的手段來送回到儲存網格。When the product item stored in the storage bin is removed from the storage grid, the robotic vehicle is arranged to pick up a storage bin containing the product type, and then transport the storage bin to the lifting device 50. The lifting device transports the storage bin to the pick and/or supply station 60, wherein the item of the product type is removed from the storage bin. The storage bin with the remaining product items is then returned to the storage grid via means of the lifting device and the robotic vehicle.
相同的程序用以將產品物品供應到儲存網格中。首先，物品被供應到位於拾取及/或供應站處的儲存箱中。接著，升箱裝置將儲存箱提升到上層，其中機器人車輛將儲存箱運送到其在儲存網格內的正確位置。The same procedure is used to supply product items into the storage grid. First, the item is supplied to a storage bin located at the picking and/or supply station. The lift box then lifts the storage bin to the upper level, where the robotic vehicle transports the storage bin to its correct location within the storage grid.
儲存控制及通信系統用於監控庫存，以追蹤相應儲存箱(在儲存網格內及/或運輸期間)的位置、每個儲存箱內容等。此外，儲存控制及通信系統還可包括(或連同提供)控制系統，該控制系統用於控制機器人車輛以拾取期望的儲存箱且在期望的時間將該儲存箱傳遞到期望的位置，而不與其他車輛碰撞。The storage control and communication system is used to monitor inventory to track the location of the respective storage bin (within the storage grid and/or during transport), each storage bin content, and the like. In addition, the storage control and communication system may also include (or provide in conjunction with) a control system for controlling the robotic vehicle to pick up the desired storage bin and deliver the storage bin to a desired location at a desired time without Other vehicles collide.
已經發現到，儲存系統使用相對長的時間來將儲存箱從網格的頂部傳送到拾取及/或供應站。另外，在圖1的系統中，單一個升箱裝置用於儲存箱的運輸，從儲存網格的頂層到拾取及/或供應站以及從拾取及/或供應站到頂層兩者。此解決方案限制了儲存箱可從儲存網格及拾取/供應站運送進出的速度。例如，車輛40將必須延遲將第二儲存箱裝載到升箱裝置50中，直到操作者完成當前的儲存箱並將其送回到頂層。因此，車輛的運作時間不是最有效率的。It has been found that the storage system uses a relatively long time to transfer the storage bin from the top of the grid to the pick and/or supply station. Additionally, in the system of Figure 1, a single lift box is used for transport of the storage bins, from the top layer of the storage grid to the pick and/or supply station and from the pick and/or supply station to the top layer. This solution limits the speed at which storage bins can be transported in and out of the storage grid and pick-up/supply stations. For example, the vehicle 40 will have to delay loading the second storage bin into the lift box 50 until the operator completes the current storage bin and returns it to the top floor. Therefore, the operating time of the vehicle is not the most efficient.
本發明提供了一種更節省時間的儲存系統。另一個目的是改善拾取及/或供應站的人體工學運作。The present invention provides a more time efficient storage system. Another purpose is to improve the ergonomic operation of the picking and/or supply station.

The pick-up/supply station assembly 1 includes a first lifter device 2, a second lifter device 3, and a pick-up/supply station 18. In use, the first riser device 2 is arranged such that it can receive the storage bin 30 from the vehicle 40 located at the top floor 20 of the grid structure of the storage system 10 and transfer the storage bin to the pick/supply station 18 . The pick-up/supply station 18 is characterized by a tank transport assembly 4 that is arranged to move the storage tank from the first riser device 2 to the second lift-box device 3. The second riser device 3 is arranged to receive the storage bin from the bin transport assembly 4 and transfer the storage bin to the top layer of the lattice structure. The first riser device and the second lifter device include top sections 16, 17 at which the storage bins can be received or retrieved by the vehicle 40 at the top 20.
升箱裝置特徵在於一對提升臂21，該對提升臂可在該儲存系統的頂層及該拾取/供應站之間的垂直方向中移動。提升臂及其行進的軌道系統22的展開圖顯示於圖8中。The lift-up device is characterized by a pair of lift arms 21 that are movable in a vertical direction between the top layer of the storage system and the pick-up/supply station. An expanded view of the lift arm and its traveling track system 22 is shown in FIG.
每個升箱裝置特徵在於下位端口8、9(亦即，第一下位儲存箱端口及第二下位儲存箱端口)或開口，以便將儲存箱傳遞或供應到箱運輸組件4。在第一實施例中，下位端口面對彼此，且箱運輸組件包括線性傳送系統5。傳送系統特徵在於多個傳送單元19a-19f。傳送單元優選地為帶式或鍊式傳送器。第一傳送單元19a安排在第一升箱裝置2中，以將所取得的儲存箱移動或運輸離開下位端口8。在使用中，第一儲存箱最初放置在網格頂部處的提升臂21上，並朝向第一傳送單元降低。提升臂之間的空間寬度足以允許第一傳送單元19a在該等提升臂之間透過。在透過期間，第一儲存箱將保留在第一傳送單元上，同時提升臂進入其最低位置。接著，第一儲存箱由第一傳送單元運輸出第一提升裝置。在第一儲存箱從第一升箱裝置離開之後，提升臂可返回到頂層以便取得第二儲存箱。Each of the lifter devices is characterized by a lower port 8, 9 (i.e., a first lower storage tank port and a second lower storage tank port) or an opening for transferring or supplying the storage tank to the tank transport assembly 4. In the first embodiment, the lower ports face each other, and the box transport assembly includes a linear transport system 5. The transport system is characterized by a plurality of transport units 19a-19f. The transfer unit is preferably a belt or chain conveyor. The first transfer unit 19a is arranged in the first lifter device 2 to move or transport the taken storage bin away from the lower port 8. In use, the first storage bin is initially placed on the lift arm 21 at the top of the grid and lowered toward the first transfer unit. The width between the lifting arms is sufficient to allow the first transfer unit 19a to pass between the lift arms. During transmission, the first storage bin will remain on the first transfer unit while the lift arm enters its lowest position. Next, the first storage tank is transported out of the first lifting device by the first transport unit. After the first storage bin is removed from the first riser device, the lift arm can be returned to the top layer to access the second storage bin.
離開第一升箱裝置的第一儲存箱接著經由第二傳送單元及第三傳送單元19b、19c運送到拾取/供應站18的工作表面11中的開口12，且操作員可接著從箱子拾取/供應所需物品。安排在開口12下方的第四傳送單元19d特徵在於(或連接到)秤重單元14(本實施例中未顯示，參見圖9，其中秤重單元連同第五傳送單元19e描繪)。當操作者完成第一儲存箱時，該第一儲存箱經由第五傳送單元19e運送到安排在第二升箱裝置3中的第六傳送單元19f上。第二升箱裝置接著可將第一儲存箱提升到頂層，其中車輛可取得該第一儲存箱以便儲存在網格中。The first storage tank leaving the first lifting device is then transported via the second and third transfer units 19b, 19c to the opening 12 in the work surface 11 of the pick-up/supply station 18, and the operator can then pick it up from the box/ Supply the required items. The fourth transfer unit 19d arranged below the opening 12 is characterized by (or is connected to) the weighing unit 14 (not shown in this embodiment, see Fig. 9, wherein the weighing unit is depicted along with the fifth transfer unit 19e). When the operator completes the first storage bin, the first storage bin is transported via the fifth transfer unit 19e to the sixth transfer unit 19f arranged in the second lifter device 3. The second riser device can then lift the first storage bin to the top floor, wherein the vehicle can take the first storage bin for storage in the grid.
由於下位端口8、9面向彼此且經由線性傳送系統5互連，故拾取/供應站18具有最小的空間要求，且還可整合在儲存系統的網格結構的垂直側壁中，而不改變網格結構的佔位面積/周圍70。這在儲存系統安裝在空間受限的位置時是尤其重要的，因為這允許所安裝的儲存系統的網格結構的最大尺寸。所揭示的第一實施例可整合於上方揭示之先前技術儲存系統的網格結構的側壁中，其中該儲存系統將佔據實質上等於六個相鄰儲存欄的空間，亦即，儲存系統的佔位面積70不因為拾取/供應站的存在而增加。由於升箱驅動系統23的原因，第一實施例的確切空間要求高出一些。安排在升箱驅動系統上方的儲存欄將具有稍微減少的儲存容量，例如比剩餘儲存欄少了兩個或三個儲存箱。Since the lower ports 8, 9 face each other and are interconnected via the linear transport system 5, the pick/supply station 18 has minimal space requirements and can also be integrated into the vertical side walls of the grid structure of the storage system without changing the grid The footprint of the structure / around 70. This is especially important when the storage system is installed in a space-constrained location as this allows for the maximum size of the grid structure of the installed storage system. The disclosed first embodiment can be integrated into the sidewall of the grid structure of the prior art storage system disclosed above, wherein the storage system will occupy substantially equal space of six adjacent storage columns, ie, the storage system The bit area 70 is not increased by the presence of the pick-up/supply station. Due to the lift-up drive system 23, the exact space requirements of the first embodiment are somewhat higher. The storage bar arranged above the lift-up drive system will have a slightly reduced storage capacity, for example two or three storage bins less than the remaining storage bar.
根據本發明的拾取/供應站的第二實施例顯示於圖5至圖7。在此實施例中，第一升箱裝置及第二升箱裝置的下位端口8、9不面向彼此，但在相同方向中排列。因此，箱運輸組件4可能不是如圖2至圖4之實施例中的簡單線性或直線傳送系統5。A second embodiment of a pick-up/supply station in accordance with the present invention is shown in Figures 5-7. In this embodiment, the lower ports 8, 9 of the first raising device and the second lifting device do not face each other but are arranged in the same direction. Thus, the tank transport assembly 4 may not be a simple linear or linear transport system 5 as in the embodiment of Figures 2-4.
如同第一實施例，拾取/供應站組件1包括第一升箱裝置2、第二升箱裝置3及拾取/供應站18。在使用中，升箱裝置經安排以與儲存系統10連接，如第一實施例所述。每個升箱裝置特徵在於下位端口8、9或開口，以便將儲存箱傳遞或供應到箱運輸組件4。在第二實施例中，該等下位端口面向相同的方向，且箱運輸組件包括傳送系統5，其中儲存箱的方向改變兩次以允許儲存箱離開第一升箱裝置並進入第二升箱裝置。傳送系統特徵在於九個傳送單元19a-19i(圖式中未顯示19h-19i)以允許儲存箱的運送。傳送單元優選地為帶式或鍊式傳送器。第一傳送單元19a安排在第一升箱裝置2中，以將所取得的儲存箱移動或運輸離開下位端口8。在使用中，第一儲存箱最初放置在網格頂部處的提升臂21上，並朝向第一傳送單元降低。提升臂之間的空間寬度足以允許第一傳送單元19a在該等提升臂之間透過。在透過期間，第一儲存箱將保留在第一傳送單元上，同時提升臂進入其最低位置。接著，第一儲存箱由第一傳送單元19a運輸出第一提升裝置。在第一儲存箱從第一升箱裝置離開之後，提升臂可返回到頂層以便取得第二儲存箱。As with the first embodiment, the pick-up/supply station assembly 1 includes a first lift-up device 2, a second lift-up device 3, and a pick-up/supply station 18. In use, the lifting device is arranged to be coupled to the storage system 10 as described in the first embodiment. Each lifter device is characterized by a lower port 8, 9 or opening for transferring or supplying the storage bin to the tank transport assembly 4. In a second embodiment, the lower ports face in the same direction, and the tank transport assembly includes a transport system 5 wherein the direction of the storage tank is changed twice to allow the storage tank to exit the first lift box and enter the second lift apparatus . The transport system is characterized by nine transport units 19a-19i (19h-19i are not shown in the drawings) to allow for the transport of the storage bin. The transfer unit is preferably a belt or chain conveyor. The first transfer unit 19a is arranged in the first lifter device 2 to move or transport the taken storage bin away from the lower port 8. In use, the first storage bin is initially placed on the lift arm 21 at the top of the grid and lowered toward the first transfer unit. The width between the lifting arms is sufficient to allow the first transfer unit 19a to pass between the lift arms. During transmission, the first storage bin will remain on the first transfer unit while the lift arm enters its lowest position. Next, the first storage tank is transported out of the first lifting device by the first transport unit 19a. After the first storage bin is removed from the first riser device, the lift arm can be returned to the top layer to access the second storage bin.
離開第一升箱裝置2的第一儲存箱首先經由第二傳送單元及第三傳送單元19b、c以在下位端口所面向的方向中運輸。第三傳送單元19c從第一升箱裝置的下位端口的位準或從第二傳送單元19a的位準而在向下方向中稍微傾斜。第三傳送單元19c所被安排的位置包括第四傳送單元19d，該第四傳送單元與第三傳送單元交叉式地安排。藉由使第三傳送器相對於第四傳送單元降低或升高，第四傳送單元能夠在與儲存箱的初始方向橫向的方向中運輸儲存箱(亦即，第三傳送單元及第四傳送單元構成傳送器交叉，以允許改變傳送方向)，使得第四傳送單元與儲存箱接觸。第一儲存箱接著經由第四傳送單元19d及第五傳送單元19e運輸到拾取/供應站18的工作表面11中的開口12。操作員可接著從箱子中拾取/提供所需的物品。安排在開口12下方的第五傳送單元19e具有秤重單元14。當操作者完成第一儲存箱時，該第一儲存箱經由傳送器交叉運輸，以允許朝向第二升箱裝置3改變方向，該傳送器交叉包括第六傳送單元19f及第七傳送單元19g。第三傳送單元到第七傳送單元是相似傾斜的。傾斜提供了拾取/供應站改進的人體工學設計。第八傳送單元及第九傳送單元19h、19i(未顯示，但對應於在相反方向中移動的第一傳送單元及第二傳送單元)將第一儲存箱運輸到第二升箱裝置中。第二升箱裝置接著可將第一儲存箱提升到頂層，其中車輛可取得該第一儲存箱以便儲存在網格中。The first storage tank leaving the first riser device 2 is first transported in the direction in which the lower port is oriented via the second transfer unit and the third transfer unit 19b, c. The third transfer unit 19c is slightly inclined in the downward direction from the level of the lower port of the first lifting device or from the level of the second transfer unit 19a. The position at which the third transfer unit 19c is arranged includes a fourth transfer unit 19d which is arranged in an intersecting manner with the third transfer unit. By lowering or raising the third conveyor relative to the fourth transfer unit, the fourth transfer unit can transport the storage bins in a direction transverse to the initial direction of the storage bin (ie, the third transfer unit and the fourth transfer unit) The conveyor crosses to allow the transfer direction to be changed so that the fourth transfer unit is in contact with the storage bin. The first storage tank is then transported to the opening 12 in the work surface 11 of the pick-up/supply station 18 via the fourth transfer unit 19d and the fifth transfer unit 19e. The operator can then pick up/provide the desired item from the box. The fifth transfer unit 19e arranged below the opening 12 has a weighing unit 14. When the operator completes the first storage bin, the first storage bin is cross-transported via the conveyor to allow direction to be changed toward the second lifter device 3, the conveyor cross including the sixth transfer unit 19f and the seventh transfer unit 19g. The third to seventh transfer units are similarly tilted. The tilt provides an improved ergonomic design of the pick/supply station. The eighth transfer unit and the ninth transfer unit 19h, 19i (not shown, but corresponding to the first transfer unit and the second transfer unit moving in opposite directions) transport the first storage case into the second lift box. The second riser device can then lift the first storage bin to the top floor, wherein the vehicle can take the first storage bin for storage in the grid.
使下位端口朝向相同方向允許了拾取/供應站組件的簡單結構，該拾取/供應站組件具有改進的操作人體工學。儲存箱的傾斜/偏斜是在不使用任何類型的偏斜機構之情況下取得。所揭示的第二實施例可整合於上方揭示之先前技術儲存系統的網格結構的側壁/區段中，其中該儲存系統將佔據實質上等於兩個儲存欄的空間。由於升箱驅動系統23的原因，該兩個升箱裝置的確切空間要求高出一些。安排在其中一個升箱驅動系統上方的儲存欄將具有稍微減少的儲存容量，例如比剩餘儲存欄少了兩個或三個儲存箱。Having the lower port facing the same direction allows for a simple structure of the pick-up/supply station assembly with improved operational ergonomics. The tilt/skew of the storage bin is achieved without the use of any type of skew mechanism. The disclosed second embodiment can be integrated into the sidewall/section of the grid structure of the prior art storage system disclosed above, wherein the storage system will occupy a space substantially equal to the two storage columns. Due to the lift-up drive system 23, the exact space requirements of the two lift-up devices are somewhat higher. The storage bar arranged above one of the lift-up drive systems will have a slightly reduced storage capacity, for example two or three storage bins less than the remaining storage bar.
兩個實施例可以有利地包括用於調節開口/工作表面之高度的構件，以及安排在該開口下方的儲存箱。例如，這可由高度調節構件來達成，該高度調節構件在開口12下方連接到傳送單元，亦即，以便調節第一實施例中的第四傳送單元19d的高度，或調節第二實施例中的第五傳送單元19e的高度。Both embodiments may advantageously include means for adjusting the height of the opening/working surface, as well as a storage bin arranged below the opening. For example, this can be achieved by a height adjustment member that is connected to the transfer unit below the opening 12, that is, to adjust the height of the fourth transfer unit 19d in the first embodiment, or to adjust the second embodiment The height of the fifth transfer unit 19e.
除了上方揭示的優點外，本發明鑑於先前技術還提供了許多優點。由於使用兩個分離的升箱裝置2、3，一個專用於傳遞且一個專用於取得儲存箱至拾取/供應站18，本拾取/供應站組件提供一種系統，其中儲存系統的車輛及升箱器更有效地被利用。此外，使用多個分離的傳送單元19有助於效率，因為該等傳送單元允許在拾取/供應站中排列/緩衝多個儲存箱30。此外，拾取/供應站組件提供了工作環境的改進，因為消除了操作者在儲存箱與提升裝置或拾取/供應站的部件之間被擠壓或困住的風險。In addition to the advantages disclosed above, the present invention provides a number of advantages in view of the prior art. Since the two separate lifter devices 2, 3, one dedicated to transfer and one dedicated to the storage bin to the pick-up/supply station 18, the pick-up/supply station assembly provides a system in which the vehicle and the lifter of the storage system are Used more effectively. Furthermore, the use of a plurality of separate transfer units 19 contributes to efficiency because the transfer units allow a plurality of storage bins 30 to be aligned/buffered in the pick-up/supply station. In addition, the pick-up/supply station assembly provides an improvement in the working environment by eliminating the risk of the operator being squeezed or trapped between the storage bin and the components of the lifting device or pick-up/supply station.
