Important components of intelligent warehousing and logistics: types of conveyor system components and structures
Structure type
High-efficiency logistics conveying and storage has been the inevitable way of competitive development in all walks of life, in the face of the general environment of intelligent manufacturing, how can we maximize our comprehensive production efficiency? Today we will look at as an important part of intelligent warehousing and logistics, the composition of the conveyor system structure type:
Chain conveyor is one of the basic conveying equipment for continuous transportation in modern three-dimensional warehouse, with moderate conveying speed, supporting the transmission chain through the rail, simple structure, easy maintenance, low cost, but the noise is big. Chain conveyor is mainly used in automatic three-dimensional warehouse storage area, assembly and packaging area, online picking area, out of the warehouse area.
Roller conveyor is also one of the basic continuous delivery of goods in the modern logistics automated warehouse, unit of continuous delivery of goods, accumulation, sorting; can be transported along the horizontal or curved path. Its structure is simple, easy to install, use and maintain, and it can be placed on pallets or pallets for irregular goods. In the automated three-dimensional warehouse and chain conveyor together to bear the conveyor system in the unit goods transportation, mainly to complete the straight-line transportation. Roller conveyor is mainly used in the automatic three-dimensional warehouse into the warehouse area, assembly and packaging area, online picking area, out of the warehouse area, etc., but also can play a role in slowing down the accumulation of release.
3、Chain-roller combination type lifting table
In recent years, in order to improve the design of the conveyor system, in order to improve the operating speed, the intermittent conveyor type of equipment for the new design and restructuring, chain - roller combination of lifting platform is a new product in this period. It is mainly used in the conveyor system in the chain conveyor and roller conveyor cross parts, it is in a set of equipment both chain conveyor and roller conveyor, and through a set of lifting device so that the two conveyors form a height difference, in order to realize the direction of delivery of the unit of goods to the 90-degree change. Generally, it can be divided into two kinds of D-shaped and cross-shaped according to the different ways of passing.
Belt conveyor is a conveyor with a conveyor belt as a load-bearing and traction member, used to transport a variety of regular or irregularly shaped goods. Belt conveyor can be conveyed horizontally or inclined, and the angle of inclination is not more than 15°. Since the belt conveyor is driven by friction to run the goods, it is more suitable for conveying small and scattered goods, and is often used in picking operations in logistics centers or distribution centers. Flat belt conveyor can be used to convey all kinds of regular or irregular shaped goods, used in the requirement of accurate positioning or the need for expansion and contraction of the occasion.
5、Rail shuttle with chain conveyor or roller conveyor
In the conveyor system through the rail shuttle, can realize one or more conveyor line and multiple conveyor line connection, complete the goods diversion work, is an important part of the discontinuous diversion system. It is mostly installed in front of the in and out storage area in the shelf warehouse, and sends the inbound goods to the inbound area conveyor at one end of each lane or receives the goods from each outbound area conveyor and sends them to the outbound port. Or it is applied in the picking infrequent online picking area and between the in and out of storage area, by the rail shuttle according to the system instructions, there are out of storage area to take out the goods and send the goods to the picking conveyor, at the same time, can be sent to the picking finished pallets to the storage area to re-enter the warehouse.
6、Automatic Transfer Vehicle
The automatic truck refers to the automatic guiding device, can travel along the specified path, in the car body also has the programming and parking selection device, safety protection device and all kinds of material transfer function of the handling vehicle. For long-distance handling or large-area system, the installation cost is low: flexible and adjustable operation path makes it favored by users, and the system expansion is also very easy; because there is no need to bury wires all over the world, it is also commonly used in clean rooms; no downtime is required in the warehouse when installing; the positioning is accurate when running.
The automatic truck is mainly used in the beginning handling section of the storage area; the final handling section of the goods in the storage area; the long distance and complex path section; the high cleanliness requirement area; the personnel and other conveying equipment can't reach the area; and often adjusting the operation path and other areas.
7、Empty pallet collection machine
There are several ways to deal with empty pallets in the automated warehouse, one is by forklift will be empty pallets one by one from the conveyor line unloading yard to the designated stacking area, so it is not easy to stack neatly, the forklift driver's operating requirements are high, to complete a certain amount of empty pallets to deal with the time spent longer. Another is the empty pallet by warehousing operations in a cargo compartment, when needed, and then a warehouse operations, so that a few need to be completed several times out of the warehouse operations, increased costs, efficiency is also very low. The use of pallet collection machine when the empty pallet is not off the line, but through the conveyor line into the empty pallet collection machine, in accordance with the actual requirements of the system to collect a certain number of goods in the form of a unit of goods through the storage area of the conveyor system and stacking machine into the shelves or directly by returning to the area by the forklift will be placed in the entrance of the warehouse receiving the pallet waiting for the use of the area.
8、Automatic sorting line
Automatic sorting line in the modern distribution center type automated warehousing has been widely used. Automatic sorting line can be continuous, high-volume sorting of goods; not subject to climate, time, physical strength and other constraints; sorting system per unit of time to sort the number of pieces; error rate is extremely low; sorting operations to achieve the basic unmanned, can reduce the use of personnel to reduce the labor intensity of employees and improve the efficiency of personnel.
9、Vertical elevator
Vertical elevator is an effective connection between the building warehouse or high-rise buildings on all levels of the conveyor system and in different loading and unloading operation surface to complete the loading and unloading of goods need equipment. Commonly used in automated warehouses are freight elevators, hydraulic lifting platforms and slat type elevators. Cargo elevators have large load capacity, smooth operation and accurate stopping position, but the lifting distance is limited. Hydraulic lifting platform is a kind of equipment is simple, and adaptable machinery. Compared with other lifting equipment, he has low speed, can be accurately positioned at various heights, suitable for places that do not need to lift goods regularly. The new hydraulic lifting platform is equipped with a running mechanism at the bottom, which can be driven on a track and is widely used as picking equipment in warehouses. Slat type elevator is a kind of continuous working conveying equipment. The advantages are simple structure, small footprint, high conveying efficiency, strong versatility, reliable work, easy to use and maintain.
10、Pallet palletizing and depalletizing robots
Palletizing or depalletizing of goods on pallets can be carried out by human power, or by mechanical equipment through the preparation of programs to automate the stacking operation. Palletizing robots are robots that can neatly and automatically palletize packaged goods of different sizes on pallets.
