Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of detection devices, and particularly relates to a carrier loading state detection device and a carrier. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a device for loading and transporting goods, a carrier is widely used in the fields of automobile parts, chemical industry, food, fresh food, bulk commodities and home appliance products. It is increasingly difficult to manage a large number of carriers by traditional manpower, and the efficiency is not high, so it is urgent to realize digital and intelligent management of the carrier. With the integration of IoT (Internet of Things), mobile Internet, big data, cloud computing and other technologies with the carrier, digital and intelligent management of the carrier and efficient recycling have become a reality. Digital and intelligent management of the carrier requires information such as the use state (heavy load or empty box) of each carrier.

[0003] The current carrier detection device has an infrared, ultrasonic and other implementation modes. These modes require a relatively high environment. Once the environment becomes harsh, the detection device will be invalid and unable to detect the use state of the carrier due to oil stains, dust, water and other substances on the detection device. SUMMARY

[0005] In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a carrier loading state detection device, comprising a conduction mechanism and a detection mechanism, wherein the conduction mechanism and the detection mechanism are fixedly connected with a base of a carrier.

[0006] When the carrier is in a use state, a baffle of the carrier applies a pressure in a first direction to the conduction mechanism, and the conduction mechanism presses the detection mechanism under the action of the pressure, so that the detection mechanism determines that the carrier is in the use state.

[0007] In another aspect, the present disclosure also provides a carrier, comprising the carrier loading state detection device as described above, wherein the baffle is hingedly connected with the base.

[0008] The carrier loading state detection device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a conduction mechanism and a detection mechanism, and the conduction mechanism and the detection mechanism are fixedly connected with the base of the carrier; in the case that the carrier is in a use state, the baffle of the carrier applies a pressure in a first direction to the conduction mechanism, and the conduction mechanism presses the detection mechanism under the action of the pressure, so that the detection mechanism determines that the carrier is in the use state. The carrier loading state detection device of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the conduction mechanism can move to the detection mechanism under the action of the pressure applied by the baffle of the carrier, and press the detection mechanism, so as to trigger the detection mechanism to identify that the carrier is currently in the use state.

[0032] In the following, example embodiments will be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which example embodiments can be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0033] As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0034] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0035] Embodiments described herein can be described with reference to plan views and / or cross-sectional views by virtue of the fact that the present disclosure equally contemplates method embodiments taken with reference to plan views and / or cross-sectional views. Accordingly, the example illustrations are to be considered for what they are intended to represent and not as limitations of embodiments. As such, the embodiments are not limited to the illustrated examples and include modifications based on manufacturing processes and / or tolerances, which are intended to be subsistent with the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Thus, the zones illustrated in the drawings have schematic properties and the shape of the zones shown in the drawings is intended to represent the specific shape of the zones of the elements, but is not intended to be limiting.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure and will not be interpreted in an overly literal or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0037] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a vehicle loading state detection device for detecting a loading state of a vehicle, the loading state including a use state and a non-use state. As shown in Figs. 1a-1c , Figs. 2a-2c , Figs. 6-7 The vehicle loading state detection device includes a conduction mechanism 2 and a detection mechanism 3, which are fixedly connected with a base 1 of the vehicle. In the case where the vehicle is in the use state, a baffle 4 of the vehicle applies a first direction pressure to the conduction mechanism 2, and the conduction mechanism 2 presses the detection mechanism 3 under the pressure to enable the detection mechanism to determine that the vehicle is in the use state.

[0038] The vehicle includes the base 1 and a plurality of baffles 4, each of which is hinged to the base 1. As shown in Fig. 1a , Fig. 1b and Fig. 6As shown, in the use state, each baffle 4 is in a vertical state, each baffle 4 is folded, and the article carried by the carrier is blocked to prevent it from falling. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first direction is a vertical downward direction. During the conversion of the carrier from the non-use state to the use state, the baffle 4 gradually changes from the horizontal state to the vertical state, and the baffle 4 gradually applies pressure to the conduction mechanism 2, and the conduction mechanism 2 moves in the first direction under the action of the pressure. After the baffle 4 is in a vertical state, the conduction mechanism 2 presses the detection mechanism 3, at which time the conduction mechanism 2 triggers the detection mechanism 3 to start detecting the loading state of the carrier, and the detection mechanism 3 can detect that the carrier is currently in a use state.

[0039] The carrier loading state detection device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a conduction mechanism 2 and a detection mechanism 3, and the conduction mechanism 2 and the detection mechanism 3 are fixedly connected with the base 1 of the carrier. In the case that the carrier is in a use state, the baffle 4 of the carrier applies pressure to the conduction mechanism 3 in the first direction, and the conduction mechanism 2 presses the detection mechanism 3 under the action of the pressure, so that the detection mechanism 3 determines that the carrier is in a use state. The carrier loading state detection device of the embodiment of the present disclosure can move the detection mechanism 3 under the action of the pressure applied by the baffle 4 of the carrier and press the detection mechanism 3 to trigger the detection mechanism 3 to identify that the carrier is currently in a use state. The carrier loading state detection device can improve the reliability of the carrier loading state detection device, and can be applied in a relatively harsh environment and has a wide range of applications.

[0040] In the case that the carrier is in a non-use state, the conduction mechanism 2 is reset, so that the detection mechanism 3 determines that the carrier is in a non-use state. It should be noted that in the non-use state, the conduction mechanism 3 and the detection mechanism 3 can be separated from each other or can be in contact with each other without triggering the detection mechanism 3 to start detecting the loading state of the carrier.

[0041] As shown in Fig. 2a , Fig. 2b and Fig. 7 , in the non-use state, each baffle 4 is in a horizontal state, and each baffle 4 is opened, so that the article carried by the carrier can be taken out. During the conversion of the carrier from the use state to the non-use state, the baffle 4 gradually changes from the vertical state to the horizontal state, and the pressure applied by the baffle 4 to the conduction mechanism 2 gradually disappears, and the conduction mechanism 2 moves in the opposite direction, i.e., the conduction mechanism 2 moves in a vertical upward direction. After the baffle 4 is in a horizontal state, the conduction mechanism 2 no longer presses the detection mechanism 3, and at this time, the detection mechanism 3 can detect that the carrier is currently in a non-use state.

[0042] The structure of the conduction mechanism 2 will be described in detail below in Fig. 3a , Fig. 3b and Fig. 8 . As shown in Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b and Fig. 8 As shown, the transmission mechanism 2 includes a pin 21, a first elastic component 22, a pressing component 23, and a bushing 24. The bushing 24 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the pin 21 is disposed in the bushing 24 and arranged along a first direction. The pin 21 includes a first end 211 for abutting against the baffle 4 and a second end 212 for abutting against the detection mechanism 3. The pressing component 23 includes a first through hole (not shown in the figure) penetrating the pressing component 23. The pin 21 is disposed in the first through hole, and the pressing component 23 is connected to the second end 212 of the pin 21. When the carrier is in use, the first elastic component 22 applies pressure to the pin 21 in the opposite direction to the first direction, and the pressing component 23 presses the detection mechanism 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the bushing 24 is screwed to the through hole on the base 1. The first elastic component 22 is a spring, and the pin 21 is a stepped shaft. The shaft radius adjacent to the second end 212 is smaller than the shaft radius adjacent to the first end 211. Thus, when the spring is sleeved on the pin 21, one end of the spring abuts against the stepped position of the stepped shaft, and the other end of the spring abuts against the bushing 24. The second end 212 of the pin 21 may be provided with an internal thread, and the pressing member 23 is provided with a mounting hole. The pressing member 23 can be fixed to the second end of the pin 21 using a screw 25, that is, the screw 25 passes through the mounting hole on the pressing member 23 and connects with the internal thread of the second end 212 of the pin 21.

[0044] During the transition of the vehicle from the use state to the non-use state, the pressure applied by the baffle 4 to the transmission mechanism 2 gradually disappears, and the pin 21, under the pressure applied by the first elastic component 22, drives the pressing component 23 and the screw 25 to move in the vertical upward direction.

[0045] The transmission mechanism 2 moves toward the detection mechanism 3 and presses the detection mechanism 3 to trigger the detection mechanism 3 to start detecting the loading status of the vehicle. The implementation methods include, but are not limited to, the transmission mechanism 2 pressing the detection mechanism 3 positively and the transmission mechanism 2 pressing the detection mechanism 3 laterally. The above two implementation methods will be explained in detail below through two implementation examples.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] In the first embodiment of this disclosure, combined with Figs. 1a-1c As shown, when the vehicle is in use, the transmission mechanism 2 presses the detection mechanism 3 in the first direction, that is, the transmission mechanism 2 presses the detection mechanism 3 in the vertically downward direction.

[0048] like Fig. 1a and Fig. 1bAs shown, the lower pressing member 23 is a pressure plate 231, and the detection mechanism 3 includes a first detection switch 301. When the vehicle is in use, the pressure plate 231 presses the first detection switch 301 in a first direction. The first detection switch 301 can be a spring-loaded switch, for example, implemented by using a keycap and a spring.

[0049] like Fig. 4 As shown, the detection mechanism 3 further includes a first housing 302 and a gasket 303. The first housing 302 has a first opening 304 and is connected to the base 1. The first detection switch 301 is housed within the first housing 302 and protrudes from the first opening 304. The gasket 303 covers the first detection switch 301 and seals the first opening 304. In this embodiment, the gasket 303 is made of soft rubber. By using the soft rubber to seal the first opening 304 of the first housing 302, the first detection switch 301 can be buffered, dustproofed, and waterproofed.

[0050] It should be noted that the detection mechanism 3 may also include a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) 305 and a base plate 306. The first housing 302 is fixedly connected to the base plate 306 to form a third accommodating space. The PCB 305 can be accommodated in this third accommodating space and is connected to the first detection switch 301. In the first embodiment of this disclosure, the detection mechanism 3 determines that the carrier is in use, which may be achieved by the pressure plate 231 triggering the circuit in the PCB 305 to turn on / off.

[0051] If the downward travel of the pin 21 is too large, it will damage the first detection switch 31. To solve the above problem, in some embodiments, combined with Figs. 1b-1c , Figs. 2b-2c and Fig. 3b As shown, the transmission mechanism 2 also includes a second elastic component 26 and a fixing component 27. The fixing component 26 is located on the side of the bushing 24 adjacent to the second end 212 of the pin 21 and is fixedly connected to the pin 21. The two ends of the second elastic component 26 are respectively connected to the fixing component 27 and the pressure plate 231.

[0052] In this embodiment, the second elastic member 26 is a spring, and the fixing member 27 is a nut, such as... Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b As shown, a thread 28 is provided at the second end 212 near the pin 21, and the fastener 27 (nut) is screwed into the thread 28, thereby fixing the fastener 27 onto the pin 21.

[0053] like Fig. 3a and Fig. 3bAs shown, the surface of the lower pressure member 23 (i.e., pressure plate 231) is provided with a protrusion 2311. The protrusion 2311 includes a second through hole (not shown in the figure) penetrating the lower pressure member 23, which communicates with the first through hole. The pin 21 is disposed in the second through hole and the first through hole, that is, the pin 21 passes through the second through hole and the first through hole. Because the pressure plate 231 is relatively thin, the contact area between the pressure plate 231 and the pin 21 is small, and the pressure plate 231 is prone to shaking. In order to increase the contact area between the pressure plate 231 and the pin 21, the protrusion 2311 is provided on the pressure plate 231. The pin 21 passes through the protrusion 2311 and the pressure plate 231, which can prevent the pressure plate 231 from shaking.

[0054] like Fig. 5 As shown, during the transition of the vehicle from a non-use state to a use state, the pin 21 drives the fixing member 27 to move downward. When the pressure plate 231 presses the first detection switch 301 below, if the pin 21 drives the fixing member 27 to continue moving downward, the pressure plate 231 cannot continue to move downward due to the restriction of the first detection switch 301. At this time, the bottom end of the second elastic member 26 is limited, and the fixing member 27 will compress the second elastic member 26. The second elastic member 26 absorbs the pressure generated by the pin 21 continuing to move downward, thereby protecting the first detection switch 301.

[0055] It should be noted that, in the case where the transmission mechanism 2 does not include the second elastic member 26, such as Fig. 3a As shown, a stepped shaft is formed at the position of the pin 21 near the second end 212, that is, the shaft radius near the second end 212 is smaller. In this way, the thicker part of the stepped shaft can abut against the protrusion 2311, so that the pressure plate 231 can be more firmly connected to the pin 21.

[0056] The installation process of the vehicle loading status detection device in Embodiment 1 of this disclosure is as follows:

[0057] Install the transmission mechanism 2 on the base 1, and then install the detection mechanism 3 on the base 1 in the corresponding empty position of the transmission mechanism 2. The bushing 24 is threaded (or by interference fit, welding, etc.) onto the mounting hole in the lower plate of the base 1. After installing the first elastic component 22, the pin 21 is inserted through the mounting hole above the base 1 and passes through the bushing 24. The fixing member 27 (i.e., the nut) is threaded onto the pin 21, and the second elastic component 26 is fitted onto the pin 21 from the second end 212. At the second end 212 of the pin 21, the pressure plate 231 is fixed to the pin 21 using a screw 25 with threaded engagement. At this point, the transmission mechanism 2 is installed. After the transmission mechanism 2 is installed, install the detection mechanism 3 in the empty position of the base 1.

[0058] like Figs. 2a-2cAs shown, when the vehicle is in an unused state, the baffle 4 of the vehicle is in a horizontal state. At this time, the first elastic component 22 is in a natural state, the pin 21 is in a popped-up state, the pressure plate 231 does not contact the gasket 303 on the first detection switch 301, and the vehicle loading status detection will not be triggered.

[0059] like Figs. 1a-1c As shown, when the vehicle is in use, the baffle 4 of the vehicle is in a vertical state. At this time, the baffle 4 will press the pin 21 to make it move downward. At this time, the pin 21, the fixing part 27, the first elastic part 22, the pressure plate 231, and the screw 25 move downward as a whole. The pressure plate 231 will press the pad 303. The pad 303 deforms downward and triggers the first detection switch 301. At this time, it can be determined that the vehicle is currently in use.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] In the second embodiment of this disclosure, as Fig. 6 As shown, when the vehicle is in use, the transmission mechanism 2 presses the detection mechanism 3 in the second direction, that is, the transmission mechanism 2 presses the detection mechanism 3 in the horizontal direction.

[0062] Combination Figs. 6-8 As shown, the pressing member 23 is a pressing block 232, and the detection mechanism 3 includes a second detection switch 311, an actuating pressing block 312, and a second housing 313. The second housing 313 has a second opening and is connected to the base 1. The second detection switch 311 is housed in the second housing 313, and the actuating pressing block 312 protrudes from the second opening. When the carrier is in use, the pressing block 232 presses the actuating pressing block 312 in the second direction so that the actuating pressing block 312 presses the second detection switch 311.

[0063] It should be noted that, as Fig. 9 As shown, the detection mechanism 3 in Embodiment 2 may also include a PCB 305 and a base plate 306. The second housing 313 is fixedly connected to the base plate 306 to form a fourth accommodating space. The PCB 305 can be accommodated in the fourth accommodating space and is connected to the second detection switch 311. In Embodiment 2 of this disclosure, the detection mechanism 3 determines that the carrier is in use, which may be achieved by the pressure block 232 triggering the circuit in the PCB 305 to turn on / off.

[0064] One end of the actuating block 312 is connected to the second housing 313 via a connecting shaft 314, and the actuating block 312 can rotate around the connecting shaft 314 toward the second detection switch 311. In the second embodiment of this disclosure, as... Fig. 6 , 7As shown, the contact surfaces between the pressure block 232 and the triggering pressure block 312 are both inclined surfaces. During the process of the pin 21 driving the pressure block 232 to move downward, the inclined surface of the pressure block 232 abuts against the inclined surface of the triggering pressure block 312 and rotates clockwise toward the triggering pressure block 312, so that the other end of the triggering pressure block 312 can press the second detection switch 311.

[0065] The installation process of the vehicle loading status detection device in Embodiment 2 of this disclosure is as follows:

[0066] like Fig. 6 , 7 As shown, the transmission mechanism 2 is installed on the base 1, and then the detection mechanism 3 is installed on the base 1 in the corresponding empty position. The bushing 24 is threaded (or by interference fit, welding, etc.) onto the mounting hole in the lower plate of the base 1. After installing the first elastic component 22, the pin 21 is inserted through the mounting hole above the base 1, passing through the bushing 24, and the fixing component 27 (i.e., the nut) is threaded onto the pin 21. At the second end 212 of the pin 21, the pressure block 232 is fixed to the pin 21 using a screw 25 in threaded engagement. At this point, the transmission mechanism 2 is installed. After the transmission mechanism 2 is installed, the detection mechanism 3 is installed in the empty position of the base 1.

[0067] like Fig. 7 As shown, when the vehicle is in an empty box state (i.e., unused state), the vehicle's baffle 4 is in a horizontal state. At this time, the first elastic component 22 is in a natural state, the pin 21 is in a pop-up state, the pressure block 232 does not contact the touch pressure block 312, and the touch pressure block 312 does not contact the second detection switch 311, so the vehicle loading status detection will not be triggered.

[0068] like Fig. 6 As shown, when the vehicle is in a heavy-load state (i.e., in the use state), the baffle 4 of the vehicle is in a vertical state. At this time, the baffle 4 will squeeze the pin 21 to make it move downward. At this time, the pin 21, the fixing part 27, the first elastic part 22, the pressure block 232, and the screw 25 move downward as a whole. The pressure block 232 will push the trigger pressure block 312, and the trigger pressure block 312 will push the second detection switch 311. At this time, it can be determined that the vehicle is currently in the use state.

[0069] This disclosure also includes an embodiment of a vehicle, such as Fig. 10 As shown, the vehicle includes a base 1, a baffle 4, and a vehicle loading status detection device as described above. The baffle 4 is hinged to the base 1. Fig. 10 In the middle, the vehicle loading status detection device is obscured by the base 1 and is not shown.

[0070] like Figs. 1a-1b , Figs. 2a-2b , Fig. 6 , Fig. 7As shown, the base 1 includes a first accommodating space 11 and a second accommodating space 12, the detection mechanism 3 is accommodated in the second accommodating space 12; the transmission mechanism 2 extends from the first accommodating space 11 to the second accommodating space 12, and the first accommodating space 11 and the second accommodating space 12 are arranged along the first direction. That is, the transmission mechanism 2 is fixed on the base 1, extends from the first accommodating space 11 to the second accommodating space 12, and can move downward to abut against the detection mechanism 3 in the second accommodating space 12. Wherein, the first end 211 of the pin shaft 21 is located outside the first accommodating space 11, the first elastic component 22 is accommodated in the first accommodating space 11, and the pressing piece 23 is accommodated in the second accommodating space 12.

[0071] The carrier provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a base 1, a baffle 4 and a carrier loading state detection device, the baffle 4 is hinged to the base 1, the carrier loading state detection device includes a transmission mechanism 2 and a detection mechanism 3, the transmission mechanism 2 and the detection mechanism 3 are fixedly connected with the base 1, and the baffle 4 is hinged to the base 1; in the case that the carrier is in a use state, the baffle 4 applies a pressure in the first direction to the transmission mechanism 3, and the transmission mechanism 2 presses the detection mechanism 3 under the action of the pressure, so that the detection mechanism 3 determines that the carrier is in the use state. The transmission mechanism 2 can move to the detection mechanism 3 and press the detection mechanism 3 under the action of the pressure applied by the carrier baffle 4, so as to trigger the detection mechanism 3 to identify that the carrier is currently in the use state. The carrier loading state detection is triggered by using the mechanical transmission mechanism 2, which can improve the reliability of the carrier loading state detection device, and the carrier can be applied in a relatively harsh environment and has a wide range of applications.

[0072] The carrier loading state detection device and the carrier thereof according to the embodiment of the present disclosure realize the detection of the carrier loading state by using the mechanical triggering and sensing combination mode, which is not affected by the use environment, has a reliable detection mode, can effectively solve the technical defects of the infrared and ultrasonic implementation modes, and can reliably detect the current use state of the carrier, so that other devices can obtain the current use state information of the carrier, realize the digitalization and intelligentization management of the carrier, and improve the use efficiency.

[0073] Those of ordinary skill in the art will realize and understand, all or certain steps in the methods disclosed above and the functional modules / units in the devices can be implemented as software, firmware, hardware, and appropriate combinations thereof. In hardware implementation, the division between the functional modules / units mentioned in the above description does not necessarily correspond to the division of physical components; for example, one physical component can have multiple functions, or one function or step can be performed by several physical components in cooperation. Certain physical components or all physical components can be implemented as software executed by a processor, such as a central processing unit, a digital signal processor, or a microprocessor, or as hardware, or as an integrated circuit, such as an application-specific integrated circuit. Such software can be distributed on a computer-readable medium, which can include computer storage media (or non-transitory media) and communication media (or transitory media). As is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, the term computer storage media includes volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data.
