[0028] This utility model provides a high-efficiency and low-cost material distribution system, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of the prior art.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model and how the technical solution of this utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments.

[0030] This utility model provides a high-efficiency, low-cost material distribution system product, the structural diagram of which is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0031] A marking component and a collection module; the marking component includes at least one marking plate 10 for marking materials to be transferred; the collection module includes a collection bin for collecting the marking plates 10 of the transferred materials.

[0032] It should be noted that the storage compartment is used to store at least one material, specifically, one type of label plate 10 is provided for each material. A corresponding quantity of each material is stored based on actual usage, but each piece of each material is fitted with one label plate 10. Optionally, the label plate 10 can be fixed to the material by labeling or mounting. The number of label plates 10 used indicates the quantity of materials in the storage compartment.

[0033] When materials are needed, the required quantity of materials is taken out from the storage warehouse. At this time, the materials to be transferred are removed from the materials and placed into the collection warehouse. By counting the number of marker plates 10 in the collection warehouse, the shipment quantity can be determined, and thus the quantity of materials remaining in the storage warehouse can be determined, and thus the quantity of materials that need to be replenished can be determined.

[0034] Based on the above, in this embodiment, the quantity of materials to be delivered can be determined simply by observing the change in the number of markers 10, thereby controlling the storage capacity. The cost of markers 10 is relatively low compared to the cost of the intelligent delivery system, effectively reducing the cost of the delivery system while ensuring efficient delivery of materials.

[0035] Optionally, there are multiple types of marking plates 10; each type of marking plate 10 is used to mark a material to be transferred.

[0036] In actual warehousing, a storage warehouse may contain more than one type of material. The types of markers 10 correspond to the types of materials in the storage warehouse. Thus, the shipment volume of each type of material can be determined by counting the corresponding markers 10 in the collection warehouse. Most importantly, each type of material corresponds to one marker 10, which facilitates the counting of different types of materials, achieving efficient statistics and replenishment delivery. Understandably, after replenishment, the collected markers 10 are affixed to the replenished materials, thus realizing a system cycle.

[0037] Optionally, see Figure 2 The marking plate 10 is provided with an identification part 20.

[0038] In this embodiment, the identification part 20 on the corresponding label plate for each material is in a one-to-one correspondence, which enables rapid counting of the number of different label plates 10.

[0039] Optionally, the identification section 20 is an identification code.

[0040] In this embodiment, the identification code can be either a QR code or a barcode. For example, the identification code can record the name of the material type being marked, and may even record the material's serial number or the date it entered the warehouse. Identification codes are less expensive and can be quickly scanned using existing scanning equipment to rapidly count the number of different categories of marking plates 10. Thus, the more detailed the information recorded in the identification code, the more precise the control over the materials; for example, recording the date of entry can prevent materials from expiring.

[0041] Alternatively, the identification unit 20 can be a chip, which can also serve the function of the distinguishing marker plate 10, as will not be discussed further here. Alternatively, the identification unit 20 can be paint of different colors.

[0042] Other uses of the identification unit 20 include: the identification unit 20 can record distinguishing marks, and the same distinguishing marks are the same type of marking plate 10. For example, marking plates 10 with the distinguishing mark "one" are of the same type and are used to mark the same type of materials. Alternatively, the identification unit 20 can be an information card that records material information.

[0043] In addition, to facilitate the labeling of the labeling plate 10 onto the material, clips or other fasteners can be provided on the labeling plate 10 to enable quick fixation onto or removal from the material.

[0044] Optionally, the marking board 10 is made of paper.

[0045] It is known that paper materials are low-cost, which helps reduce costs. Alternatively, the marking plate 10 can also be made of plastic, as plastic is more durable.

[0046] Optionally, the collection bin includes a collection box and a scanner; the collection box is equipped with a marking plate 10 for collecting the transferred materials, and the scanner (which may be a barcode scanner, mobile phone, etc.) is used to scan the identification unit 20 of the marking plate 10 of the transferred materials.

[0047] As mentioned above, the label 10 is equipped with an identification code, which is scanned by a scanner before being placed in the collection bin. This scanning method allows for quick statistics on the shipment volume of different types of materials.

[0048] Furthermore, the collection box is equipped with an opening, and a conveyor belt is installed horizontally at the opening. A scanner is positioned at the opening and above the conveyor belt. The marker plate 10 on the transported material is placed on the conveyor belt with the identification unit 20 facing the scanner. The conveyor belt transports the marker plate 10 into the collection box, where it is scanned upon entering the scanner's scanning area. This speeds up the counting of the marker plates 10.

[0049] Optionally, it also includes a transfer vehicle for transporting materials to be transferred.

[0050] For example, manned electric tractors are chosen for transport vehicles, which are less expensive than AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and other automated equipment in intelligent material delivery systems.

[0051] Optionally, the collection compartment is located on the transfer vehicle.

[0052] Specifically, the marker plate 10 removed when the material is transported to the transfer vehicle can be immediately placed into the collection bin for rapid collection of the marker plate 10.

[0053] In addition, the distribution system can be equipped with integrated terminals (such as computers). The computers can connect to the scanners via wired / wireless means to facilitate back-end statistics or data retrieval. Furthermore, the aforementioned use of scanners to record replenishment information into the SAP (System Applications and Products) system in the integrated terminal is primarily used to integrate enterprise resource planning and core business processes. In this embodiment, the medium-term goal is to ensure that the material distribution system completes the transfer and settlement of different cost centers.

[0054] In summary, the aforementioned material distribution system is less expensive than intelligent systems, and it can efficiently ensure the operation of the system. It is more compatible with simple warehousing systems, suitable for material distribution monitoring in small and medium-sized companies, and has practical application value.

[0055] Extended, see below Figure 3 The application of the distribution system in the actual production chain can be summarized as follows: the distribution system in the production chain is responsible for delivering materials from the warehouse's material supermarket to the production line's material supermarket.

[0056] Specifically, the warehouse's material supermarket has enough materials stored for two hours. Every hour, materials are delivered to the production line's material supermarket. Each delivery, in addition to collecting the marker board 10, also returns the empty boxes filled with materials to the warehouse's material supermarket for use as loading for replenishment. Furthermore, the delivery system replenishes materials to the warehouse's material supermarket periodically. The specific types and quantities of materials to be replenished are determined based on the statistical data collected from the marker boards 10.
