Abstract
An advanced warehouse and logistic system having a hinged rack lattice structure that allows multiple autonomous mobile lift robots to move independently through the hinged rack structure to move goods and load trucks and other vehicles. The autonomous mobile lift robot of the present invention comprising a plurality of driving trains having a first gear mounted perpendicularly to a second gear to have the autonomous mobile lift robot be movable in an up, down, left, and right direction through the hinged rack depending on the geometry of the hinged rack lattice structure.
Claims20
An advanced warehouse and logistic system, comprising:
- a rack lattice having a plurality of hinged racks configured to set the geometry of the rack lattice;
- an autonomous mobile lift robot having a plurality of driving trains, the autonomous mobile lift robot configured to be movable along the rack lattice in an up, down, left, and right direction depending on the geometry of the rack lattice;
- an internal lock fixture configured to lock the hinged rack in a first position to set the geometry of the rack lattice for movement of the autonomous mobile lift robot in a first direction;
- an external lock fixture configured to lock the hinged rack in a second position to set the geometry of the rack lattice for movement of the autonomous mobile lift robot in a second direction;
- a lock bar configured to set the hinged rack in either the first position or the second position;
- an actuator arm configured to move the lock bar from the first position to the second position to set the geometry of the rack lattice;
- and
- wherein the geometry of the rack lattice sets the direction of movement of the autonomous mobile lift robot.
An advanced warehouse and logistic system comprising:
- a rack lattice having a plurality of hinged racks configured to set the geometry of the rack lattice;
- an autonomous mobile lift robot having a plurality of driving trains, the autonomous mobile lift robot configured to be movable along the rack lattice in an up, down, left, and right direction depending on the geometry of the rack lattice;
- a plurality of base rack spacers having frustum shaped teeth, a shelf insertion notch, a shelf support, and a rack extension, and wherein the base rack spacer configured to support components of the rack lattice.
An advanced warehouse and logistic system comprising:
- a rack lattice having a plurality of hinged racks configured to set the geometry of the rack lattice;
- an autonomous mobile lift robot having a plurality of driving trains, the autonomous mobile lift robot configured to be movable along the rack lattice in an up, down, left, and right direction depending on the geometry of the rack lattice;
- at least one first gear having tapered teeth, the first gear configured to move the autonomous mobile lift robot in a vertical direction along the frustum shaped teeth of the rack lattice;
- at least one second gear having tapered teeth mounted perpendicularly to the first gear, the second gear configured to move the autonomous mobile lift robot in a horizontal direction along the frustum shaped teeth of the rack lattice;
- a control guide track configured to adjust the angle of the tapered teeth to have the tapered teeth adjust and align within the frustum shaped teeth providing the traction necessary to move the square autonomous mobile lift robot case along the frustum shaped teeth of the rack lattice.
