Abstract
A goods retrieving or placing device includes a fork, four driving mechanisms that surround the fork and are higher than the fork, and ropes. Each rope corresponds to a corresponding one of the driving mechanisms. A top of each rope is connected to the corresponding driving mechanism. Bottoms of the ropes are connected to the fork to keep the fork in balance. The driving mechanisms are configured to control the ropes to be wound or unwound. Fixing members are mounted at the driving mechanisms and the driving mechanisms are configured to be mounted on an external component via the fixing members.
Claims20
A goods retrieving or placing device, comprising:
- a fork;
- four driving mechanisms that surround the fork and are higher than the fork;
- a plurality of ropes, wherein each rope corresponds to a corresponding one of the driving mechanisms, wherein a top of each rope is connected to the corresponding driving mechanism, wherein bottoms of the ropes are connected to the fork to keep the fork in balance, and wherein the driving mechanisms are configured to control the ropes to be wound or unwound;
- and a plurality of fixing members mounted at the driving mechanisms, the driving mechanisms configured to be mounted on an external component via the fixing members.
A three-dimensional goods transportation device, comprising:
- first and second racks;
- and a goods retrieving or placing device comprising a fork, four driving mechanisms, a plurality of ropes, and a plurality of fixing members;
- wherein the four driving mechanisms surround the fork and are higher than the fork;
- wherein each rope corresponds to one driving mechanism;
- wherein tops of the ropes are connected to a corresponding driving mechanism respectively;
- wherein bottoms of the ropes are connected to the fork to keep the fork in balance;
- wherein the driving mechanisms are configured to control the ropes to be wound or unwound;
- wherein the fixing members are mounted at the driving mechanisms;
- wherein the driving mechanisms are configured to be mounted on an external component via the fixing members;
- wherein the first and second racks are arranged in parallel;
- wherein the fork is located between the first and second racks;
- wherein the driving mechanisms are mounted at the racks via the fixing members;
- wherein two of the driving mechanisms are mounted at each rack;
- wherein compartments for receiving and delivering goods are arranged on the racks;
- and wherein the driving mechanisms are configured to control winding and unwinding of the ropes to allow the fork to be aligned with any compartment.
A goods retrieving or placing device, configured to retrieve or place goods from or to a storage position in a rack, the goods retrieving or placing device comprising:
- a fork;
- a driving mechanism configured to drive the fork to move relative to the rack such that the fork is capable of aligning with the storage position;
- and a rope connected to the fork and the driving mechanism, wherein the driving mechanism is configured to drive the fork through the rope.
