ROTATABLE FLUENT SHELF AND ROBOT SYSTEM

WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/178765

A1

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a rotatable fluent storage shelf and a robot system. The rotatable fluent storage shelf comprises a fluent storage assembly comprising at least one inclined storage rack adapted to support the objects and each comprising: a loading port and a picking port arranged on opposite ends of the at least one inclined storage rack in an inclined direction; and a sliding mechanism arranged between the loading port and the picking port and configured to reduce a friction between the at least one inclined storage rack and the objects to enable the objects to move from the loading port to the picking port by gravity; and a rotation assembly coupled to the fluent storage assembly and adapted to drive the at least one inclined storage rack to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the fluent storage assembly. With the rotatable fluent shelf according to embodiments of the present disclosure, positions of the loading port and the picking port can be adjusted or interchanged by rotating the inclined storage rack about the longitudinal axis. As a result, an operator can load and/or pick objects more flexibly. In addition, the flexible operation can reduce operating space, and thus save floor space such as in storage locations.
