Stereoscopic library As the core equipment of automated warehouse, the working principle of stacker crane not only involves the design of mechanical structure, but also includes the integration of electrical control system. The following is a more detailed explanation of the working principle of the stereo warehouse stacker:
1. Horizontal traveling mechanism
Traveling motor: drive the wheel to move horizontally along the guide rail laid at the bottom of the roadway, so as to realize the forward and backward movement of the stacker in the roadway.
Traveling address reader: Detect the position of the stacker through photoelectric encoder and other equipment to ensure that the stacker can accurately reach the predetermined roadway position.
2. Lifting mechanism
Lifting motor: the lifting motor drives the wire rope or chain to drive the pallet up and down.
Lifting address identifier: detect the position of the cargo platform through photoelectric encoder and other equipment to ensure that the cargo platform can accurately reach the predetermined height of the cargo space.
3. Pallet and fork mechanism
Pallet: A platform for carrying goods, on which a fork mechanism is mounted.
Fork mechanism: It is driven by a motor to realize the telescopic movement of the fork, so as to store or take out the goods.
4. Electrical control system
Main control unit: usually a PLC (programmable logic controller), which is responsible for receiving instructions from the warehouse management system and controlling various actions of the stacker.
Sensors: including but not limited to photoelectric sensors, proximity switches, etc., used to detect the position of the stacker, the existence of goods and other information.
Safety protection system: ensure the safety of the stacker during operation by setting emergency stop button, obstacle detection sensor, etc.
5. Key technologies and applications
Address identification system: ensure that the stacker can accurately reach the designated position, including horizontal and vertical positioning.
Automatic obstacle avoidance: the sensor installed on the stacker can realize automatic obstacle avoidance and avoid collision.
Fault diagnosis: through the built-in fault diagnosis system, the working status of the stacker can be monitored in real time, and potential problems can be found and handled in a timely manner.
6. Application Scenario
Logistics warehousing: used to manage and store goods in large logistics centers, distribution centers and other places.
Manufacturing enterprise: raw material warehouse, finished product warehouse, etc. of manufacturing enterprise, used for automatic management of materials.
Retail industry: it is used to quickly respond to market demand in the warehouse management of supermarkets, pharmacies and other retail industries.
7. Functional advantages
Flexibility: The stacker can flexibly adjust the access strategy according to different needs to adapt to the changing business environment.
Safety: ensure the safety of personnel and goods through perfect safety protection measures.
Through the application of the above working principles and technologies, the stereo warehouse stacker not only improves the storage efficiency, but also reduces the errors and costs caused by manual operation. It is an important part of the modern automated storage system.
