[0014] S2-1. The staff selects the materials to be shipped out;

[0015] S2-2, the control terminal controls the motor to drive the rotary cabinet to rotate, so that the materials can be shipped out of the warehouse;

[0016] S2-3. The RFID reader reads the outbound material information and sends the data to the control terminal for data comparison. If the outbound material information is the same as the material information that needs to be outbound, the outbound is confirmed. Otherwise, the material information is detected.

[0017] Preferably, the material information detection in step S2-3 further includes the following steps:

[0018] S2-3-1. The control terminal reads the material information of each material cell stored in the disk;

[0019] S2-3-2, the RFID reader reads the material information inside the material grid and compares it with the stored data. If the read data is different from the stored data, it is determined that the material grid data is incorrect and the process jumps to S2-3-3 to continue. Otherwise, it jumps to S2-3-4 to continue.

[0023] A material information statistics method for a multifunctional rotary locker with data visualization control, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0024] S3-1, the control terminal receives the data statistics command and issues the control command at the same time;

[0025] S3-2, the motor receives the command and rotates one circle, while the RFID reader reads the data information of all materials in the material grid;

The detection unit adjusts the angle of the motor relative to the rotary cabinet by detecting the reflection of the laser, and can accurately control the stop position of the motor. At the same time, the type of rotary motor can also be selected according to cost, which improves the flexibility of storage cabinet manufacturing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The present invention further describes a multifunctional rotary locker with data visualization control and a control method thereof.

[0040] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" are used in the embodiments to illustrate the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figures and another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, the element described as being "under" other elements or features will be positioned "above" other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term "under" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device can be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used here can be interpreted accordingly.

[0041] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are merely used to distinguish one component from another having the same name, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these components.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] A multifunctional rotary locker with data visualization control includes a rotating column 1, wherein the rotating column 1 is evenly provided with a plurality of placement plates 2 in the vertical direction, and the placement plates 2 are evenly provided with a plurality of slots along the circumferential direction thereof, and the slots are configured for inserting partitions 3. The placement plates 2 cooperate with the partitions 3 to form a plurality of material grids 4 for placing materials. A base 5 is also provided at the bottom of the rotating column 1, and the base 5 is transmission-connected to a motor 6 arranged below the base 5 for driving the rotating column 1 to rotate. An RFID reader 8 is also provided on the inner wall of the locker.

[0044] The placement plate 2 and the partition 3 form a number of material grids 4, and the material grid 4 drives the rotating column 1 to rotate through the motor 6 to realize the storage of materials. At the same time, by setting up an RFID reader 8, the material data of entering and leaving the warehouse can be detected in real time, and the detected data is stored in the disk to facilitate the reading and comparison of material information. At the same time, the material entry position is automatically calculated by the control terminal 7, with a high degree of automation and high efficiency in material storage and retrieval.

[0045] Furthermore, the locker is also provided with a control terminal 7, which includes an inbound control module, an outbound control module, a material information statistics module and a rotary cabinet control module. The control terminal 7 can realize the functions of material outbound, inbound, inventory, material information management and locker control. The outbound and inbound of materials are convenient, and the material information is automatically managed through the control terminal 7 with high accuracy, while reducing the cost of manual management.

[0046] At the same time, by setting up a control terminal 7 on the locker, the control terminal 7 can realize the functions of material outbound, inbound, inventory, material information management and locker control, making material outbound and inbound convenient. At the same time, the material information is automatically managed through the control terminal 7 with high accuracy, and the cost of manual management can be reduced.

[0047] The storage method of the locker comprises the following steps:

[0048] S1-1, RFID reader 8 reads the information of the materials to be put into storage and sends the information to the control terminal 7;

[0049] S1-2, the control terminal 7 or the staff selects the storage location of the material;

[0050] S1-3, the control terminal 7 controls the motor 6 to drive the rotary cabinet to rotate, so as to realize the storage of materials.

[0051] The method for removing items from a locker comprises the following steps:

[0052] S2-1. The staff selects the materials to be shipped out;

[0053] S2-2, the control terminal 7 controls the motor 6 to drive the rotary cabinet to rotate, so as to realize the delivery of materials;

[0054] S2-3, the RFID reader 8 reads the outbound material information and sends the data to the control terminal 7 for data comparison. If the outbound material information is the same as the material information that needs to be outbound, the outbound is confirmed. Otherwise, the material information is detected.

[0055] The material information detection in step S2-3 further includes the following steps:

[0056] S2-3-1, the control terminal 7 reads the material information of each material grid 4 stored in the storage disk;

[0057] S2-3-2, RFID reader 8 reads the material information in material grid 4 and compares it with the stored data. If the read data is different from the stored data, it is determined that the data in material grid 4 is incorrect and the process jumps to S2-3-3 to continue. Otherwise, the process jumps to S2-3-4 to continue.

[0058] S2-3-3, the control terminal 7 records the incorrect material grid 4 data and jumps to S2-3-4 to continue;

[0059] S2-3-4, the control terminal 7 detects whether all the material grids 4 have been detected. If so, it jumps to S2-3-5 to continue. Otherwise, it jumps back to S2-3-2 and starts again;

[0060] S2-3-5, end the detection, and control the terminal 7 to display the incorrect material grid 4 information.

[0061] The method for collecting material information of a locker comprises the following steps:

[0062] S3-1, the control terminal 7 receives the data statistics command and issues a control command at the same time;

[0063] S3-2, the motor 6 receives the command and rotates one circle, while the RFID reader 8 reads the data information of all materials in the material grid 4;

[0064] S3-3. After the reading is completed, the information is sent to the control terminal 7 and the statistical data is displayed, and the statistical data is saved and recorded.

[0065] The above-mentioned locker statistical method uses the RFID reader 8 to proofread the materials before they are put into or out of the warehouse, so as to prevent the materials that need to be out of the warehouse from being inconsistent with the actual materials out of the warehouse. In addition, if the material data is found to be incorrect or the locker has been running for a period of time, the locker will be self-checked to ensure that the information in the material grid 4 is consistent with the inventory information, so as to prevent the occurrence of information mismatch during subsequent outbound delivery.

[0066] To achieve rotation of the rotary cabinet, thereby facilitating storage and retrieval of materials, a motor 6 is disposed beneath the base 5, and the rotation angle of the motor 6 is calibrated by a rotary cabinet control module. The rotary cabinet control module, utilizing the principle that laser energy propagates in a straight line, connects the laser feedback signal to a detection unit. The detection unit adjusts the angle of the motor 6 relative to the rotary cabinet by detecting the laser reflection, enabling precise control of the stopping position of the motor 6. The type of rotary motor 6 can also be selected based on cost, improving the flexibility of cabinet manufacturing. The motor 6 is configured as a DC motor with no feedback and no pulse counting. To achieve control of the rotation angle of the motor 6, the laser emitted by the laser auxiliary device 9 serves as the primary reference for determining position information. A small hole 10 is located beneath each row of the cabinet. The laser feedback signal is connected to an I / O signal detection unit of the microcontroller. Since the laser does not pass through the small hole 10, the laser receiver can detect the reflected laser energy, so the microcontroller detection unit is pulled low by the laser feedback signal. However, when the laser passes through the small hole 10, the laser receiver receives no reflected energy or too little energy, and the microcontroller detection unit is pulled high by the laser feedback signal. From these two states of the laser, we can determine how many times the small hole 10 passes the laser irradiation point during the cabinet's rotation, and whether the laser irradiation point passes through the designated small hole 10 during the final stop. Inside the microcontroller, there is a dedicated interrupt to detect laser feedback and dedicated logic to count and control motor 6.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] It is basically the same as the first embodiment, the only difference being that the motor 6 is a pulse-controlled stepper motor without feedback. In this embodiment, the laser serves as an auxiliary function to determine the position information. The stepper motor itself has a step counting function, which can accurately control the cabinet to rotate to a certain position. Therefore, the laser serves as an auxiliary verification function to prevent the motor 6 from being counted incorrectly due to some uncontrollable factors, or from being counted inaccurately due to external force forcing the motor 6 to rotate. The implementation principle is to use a DC motor, and the counting is achieved by the interruption of the single-chip microcomputer, and is compared with the number of steps of the stepper motor through a certain formula. This ensures the accuracy of each position control. If an error occurs, the motor 6 can also be adjusted back to zero. Alternatively, the motor 6 can be stopped and the error fed back to the UI interface, allowing human intervention to further troubleshoot the problem. This ensures safety.

[0069] Example 3

[0070] This is essentially the same as Example 1, with the only difference being that motor 6 is a pulse-controlled servo motor with feedback. In this embodiment, the laser is used as a secondary auxiliary function for safety. Since the servo motor itself provides feedback on the current step count and controls the number of steps, the motor 6 itself is not damaged unless external forces are applied.

[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Common changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
