Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power engineering construction material management technology, and in particular to a material warehousing management method. Background Technology

[0002] In the management of power companies, according to relevant regulations, delivered materials need to be managed in the warehouse. The current warehouse management system involves manual registration and bookkeeping, which lacks automation. To automate the warehouse management, items are placed on a conveyor belt for transport, and a barcode reader is installed next to the conveyor belt to read the barcodes on the items and obtain their information for filing. However, to read the barcodes on the bottom of electrical packaging boxes, the packaged appliances need to be conveyed to the conveyor belt with their bottoms facing up. The barcode reader then reads the barcodes. However, the actual orientation of the packaged appliances arriving at the conveyor belt is random; they are either bottom-up or bottom-down. Therefore, personnel need to observe the conveyor belt and flip the bottom-down appliances over, resulting in high manpower consumption and failing to achieve fully automated management. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The first objective of this invention is to provide an automated material receiving management method that solves the problem of poor automation in manually registering and creating inventory tables.

[0004] The first objective of this invention is to provide a material warehousing management method that can read barcode information regardless of whether the barcode is facing up or down, solving the current problem that cylindrical packaging appliances can only be identified when the bottom is facing up when automated warehousing is required.

[0005] The above technical problems are solved by the following technical solution: a material warehousing management method, the first step of which is to automatically acquire the information of the objects; the second step of which is to transfer the objects to the warehouse; and the third step of which is to establish an object storage location information table through a computer so that the corresponding objects can be found according to their storage locations when shipping.

[0006] Preferably, the information of the object is acquired through a material information reading mechanism. This mechanism includes a feeding side conveyor, a tilting roller, and a discharging side conveyor, arranged sequentially. The tilting roller has shafts at both ends, which are supported on a mounting base by support plates, thus suspending the roller. The tilting roller has two supporting mechanisms distributed circumferentially along its surface. Each supporting mechanism includes a connecting arm connected to the tilting roller at one end and a supporting roller connected to the other end of the connecting arm. The supporting roller extends radially along the tilting roller and is located on its circumference. The feeding side conveyor... The mechanism includes a feeding end frame, a feeding support roller rotatably connected to the feeding end frame, and a feeding roller drive mechanism for driving the feeding support roller to rotate. A connecting arm and a feeding side conveying mechanism are distributed along the extension direction of the feeding roller. The feeding side conveying mechanism has an avoidance notch for the support roller to pass through when rotating with the tilting roller. When a cylindrical packaging appliance supported on the feeding side conveying mechanism is conveyed to abut against the tilting roller, the cylindrical packaging appliance is blocked by the avoidance notch in the feeding side conveying mechanism, and the center of gravity of the cylindrical packaging appliance is located between the avoidance notch and the tilting roller. The unloading side conveying mechanism... The system includes a receiving trough extending axially along the tilting drum and a material translation mechanism that drives the material to move within the receiving trough, causing the object in the receiving trough to be offset from the supporting structure along the axial direction of the tilting drum. When the material is supported on the bottom wall of the receiving trough, the supporting roller remains above the material during the tilting rotation. A first barcode reader is located above the feeding side conveyor, and a second barcode reader is located above the unloading side conveyor. The specific process of reading material information through the material information reading mechanism is as follows: the material is transferred to the feeding side conveyor and moves towards the tilting drum. During the movement of the material on the feeding side conveyor, if the end of the material with the barcode faces upwards... The first barcode reader reads the barcode on the material to obtain material information. When the material moves forward and comes into contact with the rotating roller, the rotating roller drives the supporting mechanism to rotate together. As a result of the rotation, the supporting roller holds the lower end of the material and rotates 180° with the rotating roller before falling into the receiving trough. The material translation structure drives the material to move radially away from the supporting mechanism along the rotating roller. During this process, the material is positioned below the second barcode reader. If the end of the material with the barcode is facing upwards, the second barcode reader reads the barcode on the material to obtain material information. The barcode on the bottom of the material can be read regardless of whether the bottom of the material is facing upwards or downwards. The material suitable for this invention is a material with a flat bottom structure at both the top and bottom.

[0007] Preferably, the supporting rollers are two in number and located on the same straight line, with the connecting arms on the two supporting rollers distributed at both ends of the axial direction of the tilting drum. This allows for more reliable material support and tilting.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding end frame includes a feeding side longitudinal beam extending along the conveying direction of the feeding side conveying mechanism and feeding side support feet supporting the feeding side longitudinal beam. The feeding support roller includes a feeding side roller shaft rotatably connected to and passing through the feeding side longitudinal beam and two feeding side cylinder sections connected to the feeding side roller shaft. The two feeding side cylinder sections are distributed on both sides of the feeding side longitudinal beam. This allows for easy avoidance of the supporting mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding roller drive mechanism includes a feeding side drive motor, a feeding side drive sprocket mounted on the feeding side drive motor, a plurality of feeding side driven sprockets mounted one-to-one on all the feeding side roller shafts, and a feeding side drive chain connecting all the feeding side driven sprockets to the feeding side drive sprocket.

[0010] Preferably, the receiving trough includes a base plate, a first side plate connected to the base plate near the rotating roller, and a second side plate connected to the base plate away from the rotating roller. The second barcode reader is located at one end of the receiving trough, and the material translation structure is located at the other end. The material translation structure includes a push plate and a drive cylinder that drives the push plate to extend and retract into the receiving trough. The first side wall is provided with an avoidance notch for the material feeding conveyor mechanism to pass through when the supporting roller rotates with the rotating roller. This allows for convenient and reliable catching and transfer of materials.

[0011] Preferably, the receiving trough includes a base plate, a first side plate connected to the base plate near the rotating roller, and a second side plate connected to the base plate away from the rotating roller. The second barcode reader is located at one end of the receiving trough, and the material translation structure is located at the other end. The material translation structure includes a push plate and a drive cylinder that drives the push plate to extend and retract into the receiving trough. The first side plate is located below the rotating roller, and the plane containing the surface of the first side plate facing the second side plate is tangent to the rotating roller. The first side plate includes an upper section and a lower section, and a clearance is formed between the upper and lower sections to allow the material conveying mechanism to pass through when the supporting roller rotates with the rotating roller. The first side plate is located between two connecting arms. This provides a specific structure for the receiving trough.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the second side plate is higher than the upper end of the tilting roller, and the side of the second side plate facing the first side plate is provided with an elastic sheet that is inclined towards the first side plate to press down the material falling into the receiving trough. This can prevent the material from tilting when it falls into the receiving trough, thus improving the reliability when it falls downwards.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting base, the feeding end frame, and the receiving trough are fixed together, ensuring their relative positions remain unchanged. This invention has the following advantages: it can automatically obtain item information by reading the barcode on the item; when obtaining item information, there is no need for manual identification of the bottom orientation of the cylindrical packaging appliance, and it can be flipped over if the bottom is facing down.

[0020] The unloading side conveying mechanism includes a receiving trough 22 extending along the axial direction of the tilting drum and a material translation mechanism 23 that drives the material to move within the receiving trough, causing the object within the receiving trough to be offset from the supporting structure along the axial direction of the tilting drum. When the material is supported on the bottom wall of the receiving trough, the supporting roller remains above the material as the tilting drum rotates. A first barcode reader 24 is installed above the loading side conveying mechanism, and a second barcode reader 25 is installed above the unloading side conveying mechanism.

As a result of the rotation, the supporting roller holds the lower end of the material and rotates with the tilting roller, flipping 180° before falling into the receiving trough. The material translation structure drives the material to move radially away from the supporting mechanism along the tilting roller. During this process, the material is positioned below the second barcode reader. If the end of the material with the barcode is facing upwards during the second barcode reader's process, the second barcode reader reads the barcode on the material and thus obtains the material information.
