Working Principle Of Warehouse Equipment

The working principle of warehouse equipment mainly includes the principles of stackers in automated stereoscopic warehouses and large heavy-duty stackers in intelligent storage.

Stackers in automated stereoscopic warehouses
The stacker is one of the core equipment of automated stereoscopic warehouses, and its working principle is as follows:

Movement mechanism: The stacker drives the wheels to walk horizontally on the lower guide rails through the walking motor, the lifting motor drives the cargo platform to move vertically through the wire rope, and the fork performs telescopic movement. These movements together realize the precise movement and positioning of the stacker in three-dimensional space.

Control system: The electronic control system of the stacker is connected to the monitoring machine through the PLC (programmable logic controller), receives the operation command and returns the execution status and system status. The system also has fault detection and sound and light alarm functions to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

Positioning technology: The stacker uses a walking addresser and a lifting addresser to measure the horizontal and vertical positions, and the fork is positioned by a proximity switch. Photoelectric recognition and signal conversion technology enable the stacker to achieve computer control and manual and semi-automatic control.
The load-bearing wheel of the large-scale heavy-load stacker in intelligent storage
The load-bearing wheel of the large-scale heavy-load stacker in intelligent storage is its key component, and its working principle and structural characteristics are as follows:

‌Working principle‌: The load-bearing wheel contacts the ground or track through rolling friction, generating rolling friction, thereby driving the stacker to move along the track. This rolling friction has a smaller friction coefficient than sliding friction, which can reduce energy consumption and improve operating efficiency‌.
‌Structural features‌: The load-bearing wheel is usually composed of a wheel core of high-strength alloy steel or cast steel, a wheel rim of wear-resistant material, a high-precision bearing and an automatic lubrication system. These designs ensure that the load-bearing wheel can still maintain stable operation under high load conditions and extend its service life‌.
‌Performance advantages‌: The load-bearing wheel of the large-scale heavy-load stacker in intelligent storage has the advantages of high load capacity, good wear resistance, smooth operation, energy saving and environmental protection, and easy maintenance. These characteristics enable the stacker to maintain efficient operation under frequent start-stop and high-load conditions‌.
