Abstract

An intelligent lifting shuttle carrier stereoscopic warehouse for float glass includes an inbound rotary table, a lifting shuttle carrier system, a shelf system, an outbound rotary table and a stereoscopic warehouse management system. The lifting shuttle carrier system includes a mobile vehicle, the mobile vehicle includes a frame unit, the frame unit includes a first frame and a second frame, a driving motor is set within the first frame, a lifting vehicle is set within the second frame, the driving motor drives the lifting vehicle to move up and down within the second frame, multiple first pulleys are set at a bottom of the frame unit and are able to slide on walking tracks which are set between two adjacent shelf units of the shelf system for driving the mobile vehicle to move between the two adjacent shelf units of the shelf system.

Claims (17)

1 . An intelligent lifting shuttle carrier stereoscopic warehouse for float glass, the stereoscopic warehouse comprising an inbound rotary table, a lifting shuttle carrier system, a shelf system, an outbound rotary table and a stereoscopic warehouse management system, wherein:

a quick response (RS) code of the float glass is automatically scanned to identify information of the float glass to be stored in the stereoscopic warehouse, an accuracy of the information is verified through shape detection data and weight detection data before storage, and after the information is ensured to be correct, an appropriate storage space is automatically allocated by the stereoscopic warehouse management system according to storage rules;

by executing an inbound instruction from the stereoscopic warehouse management system in conjunction with the lifting shuttle carrier system, the inbound rotary table drives the float glass to a designated position of the shelf system;

by executing an outbound instruction from the stereoscopic warehouse management system in conjunction with the lifting shuttle carrier system, the outbound rotary table sends the float glass to an exit of the stereoscopic warehouse or directly load the float glass to the lifting shuttle carrier system for delivery;

the lifting shuttle carrier system comprises a mobile vehicle, the mobile vehicle comprises a frame unit, the frame unit comprise a first frame and a second frame, a driving motor is set within the first frame, a lifting vehicle is set within the second frame, the driving motor drives the lifting vehicle to move up and down within the second frame, multiple first pulleys are set at a bottom of the frame unit and are able to slide on walking tracks which are set between two adjacent shelf units of the shelf system for driving the mobile vehicle to move between the two adjacent shelf units of the shelf system;

the lifting vehicle comprises multiple hanger tracks and a track frame for supporting the hanger tracks;

a hanger vehicle is set within the lifting vehicle, multiple second pulleys which are able to slide along the hanger tracks are set at an upper portion of the hanger vehicle, the second pulleys are set within multiple pulley frames, two adjacent pulley frames are connected through a connection rod, a material frame for accommodating the float glass is connected with the connection rod;

the material frame comprises an upright stanchion vertically connected with the connection rod, a support plate which is set at a lower end of the upright stanchion for supporting the float glass, and a baffle which is set at an upper end of the upright stanchion for blocking the float glass to avoid tipping;

the shelf system comprises one to three layers of shelves, a top portion of each layer of shelves is provided with a shelf track which is parallel to the hanger tracks;

whereby after receiving an instruction, the hanger vehicle returns to the storage area of the shelf system through the shelf tracks, or returns to the lifting vehicle, the lifting vehicle is able to transport the hanger vehicle to different storage areas of one to three layers of shelves of the shelf system by lifting, and to cooperate with the mobile vehicle to walk horizontally along the walking tracks, so that the lifting vehicle and the hanger vehicle are able to be transported to any storage area of the shelf system for completing inbound and outbound work.

2 . The intelligent lifting shuttle carrier stereoscopic warehouse according to claim 1 , wherein the baffle is electrically-driven reversible.

3 . The intelligent lifting shuttle carrier stereoscopic warehouse according to claim 1 , wherein a strengthening inclined rod is set at the upper end of the upright stanchion, and the baffle is installed on the strengthening inclined rod.

4 . The intelligent lifting shuttle carrier stereoscopic warehouse according to claim 2 , wherein a strengthening inclined rod is set at the upper end of the upright stanchion, and the baffle is installed on the strengthening inclined rod.

5 . The intelligent lifting shuttle carrier stereoscopic warehouse according to claim 1 , wherein the inbound rotary table has a feeding area for the float glass and a warehousing area for the float glass, wherein the feeding area is defined by an outward semicircle, and the warehousing area is defined by an inward semicircle.

6 . The intelligent lifting shuttle carrier stereoscopic warehouse according to claim 2 , wherein the inbound rotary table has a feeding area for the float glass and a warehousing area for the float glass, wherein the feeding area is defined by an outward semicircle, and the warehousing area is defined by an inward semicircle.

7 . The intelligent lifting shuttle carrier stereoscopic warehouse according to claim 3 , wherein the inbound rotary table has a feeding area for the float glass and a warehousing area for the float glass, wherein the feeding area is defined by an outward semicircle, and the warehousing area is defined by an inward semicircle.

8 . The intelligent lifting shuttle carrier stereoscopic warehouse according to claim 4 , wherein the inbound rotary table has a feeding area for the float glass and a warehousing area for the float glass, wherein the feeding area is defined by an outward semicircle, and the warehousing area is defined by an inward semicircle.
