[0037] This invention proposes an intelligent storage device for mineral samples.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 The intelligent storage device for mineral samples shown includes a housing 1, a material transfer mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 4, a loading mechanism 6, a controller, an identification mechanism, and at least one storage box 7 for holding ore samples. The housing 1 has a loading port 11 and a storage port 12. The identification mechanism is located at the storage port 12, which sequentially accommodates each storage box 7, allowing the identification mechanism to sequentially acquire information data from each storage box 7. The housing 1 has a working space 13 and a storage space 14, respectively. The working space 13 is connected to the loading port 11, the storage port 12, and the storage space 14, respectively. The storage space 14 accommodates each storage box 7. The material transfer mechanism 2, the feeding mechanism 4, and the loading mechanism 6 are also included. All six components are located within the working space 13. The controller is electrically connected to the identifier, the transfer mechanism 2, the feeding mechanism 4, and the loading mechanism 6. After the identifier acquires information data, the controller controls the feeding mechanism 4 to sequentially send each identified storage box 7 in the storage port 12 into the working space 13. The controller also controls the transfer mechanism 2 to send each storage box 7 entering the working space 13 into the storage space 14. The controller also determines the loading task based on the information data and then sends each storage box 7 in the storage space 14 into the loading mechanism 6 according to the loading task, so that the loading mechanism 6 sends each storage box 7 into the loading port 11 according to the loading task.

[0039] Workers place the ore storage box 7 into the storage port 12. After the identification mechanism identifies the information data of the storage box 7, the feeding mechanism 4 and the transferring mechanism 2 move the storage box 7 into the storage space 14 for storage. According to the feeding task, the feeding mechanism 6 controls the feeding mechanism 6 to send each storage box 7 into the feeding port 11 in sequence so that the testing personnel can carry out the testing. This realizes the intelligent storage and sorting of ore samples, effectively improves the efficiency of the testing work, and avoids errors in the intermediate process.

[0040] Specifically, the information data includes the serial number, sample information, and application time.

[0041] A connecting groove 15 is provided on the outside of the housing 1. A storage opening 12 is provided on the groove wall of the connecting groove 15 near the working space 13. An identification mechanism is provided on the groove wall of the connecting groove 15 away from the storage opening 12. The feeding mechanism 6 is located on the side of the working space 13 away from the storage opening 12. The feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding rack 5 and a first lead screw slide module 41. The first lead screw slide module 41 extends vertically along the storage opening 12 towards the feeding mechanism 6. The first lead screw slide module 41 drives the feeding rack 5. The vertical projection of the storage opening 12 towards the feeding rack 5 coincides with the feeding rack 5. The side of the feeding rack 5 away from the feeding mechanism 6 is used to accommodate the storage box 7. The controller is electrically connected to the first lead screw slide module 41. After the identification mechanism obtains the information data of the storage box 7 located in the feeding rack 5, the controller controls the first lead screw slide module 41 so that the first lead screw slide module 41 is fed into the working space 13 through the feeding rack 5. The first lead screw slide module 41 drives the feed rack 5 to rise and fall vertically, thereby moving the storage box 7 in the connecting slot 15 into the working space 13.

[0042] Specifically, the storage opening 12 is located on the top side of the box 1.

[0043] The feeding rack 5 includes a base plate 51, a guardrail 52, and reinforcing ribs 53. The base plate 51 is horizontally arranged, and the reinforcing ribs 53 are arranged on the side of the base plate 51 facing the feeding mechanism 6. The first lead screw slide module 41 drives and connects the base plate 51 and the reinforcing ribs 53 respectively. The side of the base plate 51 away from the reinforcing ribs 53 forms a receiving space (not shown in the figure), which is used to receive the storage box 7. The guardrails 52 are arranged around the storage box 7. The arrangement of the reinforcing ribs 53 and the guardrails 52 can prevent the storage box 7 from accidentally slipping during vertical lifting.

[0044] The storage box 7 includes a box body 71 and a transparent lid 72. The box body 71 is used to store ore samples. The transparent lid 72 is detachably mounted on the top side of the box body 71, and an identification code is set on the side of the transparent lid 72 opposite to the box body 71. The transparent lid 72 allows the identification mechanism to simultaneously acquire images of the ore samples and the identification code.

[0045] Specifically, the intelligent mineral sample storage device also includes a communicator, and the identification mechanism is a camera 16. Both the camera 16 and the communicator are electrically connected to the controller. The camera 16 is used to acquire a top-view image of the storage box 7 and send it to the controller. The controller is used to determine information data based on the top-view image, and then, based on the feeding task and information data, determine the application time and real-time time, and send the application time and real-time time to the testing personnel through the communicator. The controller is also used to obtain confirmation information from the testing personnel, determine the sorting time based on the confirmation information, real-time time, and application time, and then determine the real-time task based on the sorting time and feeding task. The application time is the time set by the submitter (i.e., the ore sample testing time requested by the submitter); the real-time time is the last newly added testing time for each ore sample in the feeding task (for example, if the previous ore sample testing time is 12:00 and takes 1 hour, the real-time time is 13:00); the sorting time is either the real-time time or the application time. Determining the testing order of the real-time task through mutual agreement between the submitter and the testing party allows for better coordination and arrangement.

[0046] Specifically, the controller is also used to determine the type information of the ore sample based on the top view image, and to determine whether the type information and the information data are the same. When the type information and the information data are the same, the controller executes the step of determining the application time and real-time based on the feeding task and the information data. When the type information and the information data are different, the controller sends an error message to the inspection personnel through the communicator.

[0047] The feeding mechanism 6 and the first lead screw slide module 41 are both located between the storage space 14 and the transfer mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 6 is located between the first lead screw slide module 41 and the feeding port 11. The controller is used to control the transfer mechanism 2 to grab the storage box 7 located in the working space 13 after the feeding rack 5 sends the storage box 7 into the working space 13, so that the storage box 7 enters the storage space 14 for storage.

[0048] The material handling mechanism 2 includes a robotic arm 3, a fixed base 21, and a second lead screw slide module 22. The second lead screw slide module 22 is located on the side of the working space 13 away from the storage space 14 and extends laterally. The second lead screw slide module 22 is driven and connected to the robotic arm 3 through the fixed base 21. A controller is electrically connected to the second lead screw slide module 22 and is used to control the second lead screw slide module 22 and the robotic arm 3 respectively, so that the robotic arm 3 cooperates with the second lead screw slide module 22 to move the storage box 7 from the loading rack to the storage space 14, or move the storage box 7 from the storage space 14 to the loading mechanism 6. The second lead screw slide module 22 moves the robotic arm 3 laterally, effectively increasing the range of motion of the robotic arm 3.

[0049] Specifically, the second lead screw slide module 22 is perpendicular to the first lead screw slide module 41.

[0050] Specifically, the robotic arm 3 includes a connecting seat 31, a lifting device 32, a telescopic device 33, a slide rail 34, two electrically controlled slide blocks 35, and two clamping plates 36. The lifting device 32 is mounted on the fixed seat 21, and the telescopic device 33 is located on the side of the lifting device 32 near the feeding mechanism 6. The output end of the lifting device 32 is connected to the telescopic device 33. The connecting seat 31 is located on the side of the telescopic device 33 facing the storage space 14, and the output end of the telescopic device 33 is connected to the connecting seat 31. The slide rail 34 is located on the side of the connecting seat 31 facing the feeding mechanism 6, and the slide rail 34 extends along the second lead screw slide module 22 towards the storage space 14. The two electrically controlled slide blocks 35 slide... A movable connecting slide rail 34 is provided; two clamping plates 36 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, one clamping plate 36 is connected to one electrically controlled slide block 35, and the other clamping plate 36 is connected to the other electrically controlled slide block 35; a controller is electrically connected to the lifting device 32, the telescopic device 33, and the two electrically controlled slide blocks 35 respectively. The controller is used to first control the second lead screw slide module 22 and the telescopic device 33 to drive the two clamping plates 36 to move to the upper position of the storage box 7, and then control the lifting device 32 and the two electrically controlled slide blocks 35 to drive the two clamping plates 36 to clamp the storage box 7, moving the storage box 7 from the feeding rack 5 to the storage space 14, or moving the storage box 7 from the storage space 14 to the loading mechanism 6. The spatial position of the two clamping plates 36 is moved by the lifting device 32, the telescopic device 33, and the second lead screw slide module 22 so that the two electrically controlled slide blocks 35 drive the two clamping plates 36 to clamp the storage box 7 to complete the transfer.

[0051] Specifically, the box body 71 is rectangular, and the guardrail 52 is designed to fit snugly against the box body 71 located in the receiving space. The box body 71 has slots 73 on both the side near the second lead screw slide module 22 and the side near the storage space 14. Insert plates 37 are provided on the side of the two clamping plates 36 facing the space between them, one insert plate 37 for inserting into one of the slots 73, and the other insert plate 37 for inserting into the other slot 73. The rectangular shape of both the box body 71 and the guardrail 52 facilitates the alignment of the two slots 73 and the two insert plates 37 of the box body 71, ensuring the stability of the box body 71 when clamped by the two clamping plates 36.

[0052] Storage rack 17 is provided in storage space 14. Several storage slots 18 are provided on the side of storage rack 17 facing material transfer mechanism 2. The storage slots 18 are arranged in a matrix. The robotic arm 3 sequentially feeds each storage box 7 into each storage slot 18. Each storage slot 18 contains one storage box 7, which facilitates the storage and retrieval by the robotic arm 3.

[0053] The feeding mechanism 6 includes a conveyor belt 61 and several partitions 62. The conveyor belt 61 extends along the first lead screw slide module 41 towards the feeding port 11. Each partition 62 is disposed on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 61 and is spaced apart along the conveying surface. A conveying space (not shown in the figure) is formed between two adjacent partitions 62. The conveying space is used to accommodate storage boxes 7. The controller is electrically connected to the conveyor belt 61 and is used to control the conveyor belt 61 to sequentially send each conveying space into the feeding port 11 according to the feeding task, so that the transfer mechanism 2 can sequentially place each storage box 7 into the conveying space furthest from the feeding port 11 according to the feeding task. According to the feeding task, through the cooperation of the conveyor belt 61 and the transfer mechanism 2, the inspection personnel can remove a storage box 7 at the feeding port 11, and the transfer mechanism 2 can move a storage box 7 into the conveying space furthest from the feeding port 11, effectively improving the continuity of the process.

[0054] Specifically, when the controller places the storage box 7 in the transport space, at least one transport space is left between two adjacent storage boxes 7, so that the controller can send the storage box 7 into the idle transport space according to the real-time task. This avoids repeated adjustments to the position of each storage box 7 and improves the fault tolerance rate.

[0055] A receiving frame 8 is provided on the outside of the box 1. The receiving frame 8 is located at the feeding port 11 and is used to receive the storage box 7 transported to the feeding port 11 by the conveyor belt 61.

[0056] The receiving rack 8 includes a baffle 81 and two connecting plates 82. The baffle 81 and the feeding port 11 are spaced apart, and the two connecting plates 82 are located between the feeding port 11 and the baffle 81. The two connecting plates 82 are arranged parallel and spaced apart, and the conveyor belt 61 is located between the two connecting plates 82. One end of each connecting plate 82 is connected to the baffle 81, and the other end of each connecting plate 82 is connected to the housing 1. The two connecting plates 82 are located on the upper part of the conveyor belt 61, and a movable gap (not shown in the figure) is formed between the baffle 81 and the conveyor belt 61 to allow the partitions 62 to pass through. The baffle 81 and the connecting plates 82 are arranged around the storage box 7 that is conveyed out by the conveyor belt 61, which can effectively prevent the storage box 7 from accidentally slipping.

[0057] Specifically, a pressure sensor (not shown in the figure) is installed on the side of the baffle 81 facing the feed port 11. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure data when the partition 62 pushes the storage box 7 to squeeze the baffle 81 and sends the pressure data to the controller. The controller is used to control the conveyor belt 61 according to the pressure data.
