Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an intelligent control system, and in particular to an intelligent control system for a storage environment based on the Internet of Things and applied in the storage field. Background Art
[0002] Most existing warehouse structures place goods on shelves, and multiple shelves are arranged together to form a shelf area. There are passages between adjacent shelf areas for people to walk and carry goods. In existing warehouses, it is very important to monitor various parameters of the storage environment (such as temperature, humidity, light, etc.), especially for important goods that are easily affected by the environment (such as tobacco, etc.). Therefore, most existing intelligent warehouses combine image monitoring, temperature and humidity monitoring and other means to monitor the storage environment in real time.
[0003] For example, the specification of Chinese patent CN106516523A discloses an automated warehousing system, including a data server, an environmental control terminal, a shuttle module, and an environmental monitoring terminal; the environmental monitoring terminal includes multiple temperature sensors and multiple humidity sensors. By adding a radio frequency scanning module to the shuttle, the storage humidity and storage temperature contained in the radio frequency tag are read, and the temperature and humidity are adjusted according to the actual temperature and humidity, thereby avoiding the long-term operation of the temperature and humidity units. The system is intelligent, fast, and resource-saving, and also prolongs the shelf life of the goods.
[0004] Another example is the Chinese patent CN111776570B specification which discloses a three-dimensional intelligent cigarette pack storage method and system, which includes: obtaining the temperature and humidity corresponding to each area of the cigarette pack warehouse, and dividing the warehouse area into: high temperature and high humidity area, high temperature and low humidity area, low temperature and high humidity area, low temperature and low humidity area and conventional partition according to the temperature and humidity; setting up three-dimensional shelves according to the rows and columns of the lanes in the cigarette pack warehouse, and the three-dimensional shelves are multi-layer structures; establishing a first correspondence table between cigarette pack years and temperature and humidity, and storing the cigarette packs in the corresponding partitions after classifying them by year according to the first correspondence table, so as to manage the entry and exit of the warehouse. The present invention can optimize the resources of the warehouse, improve the quality of stored materials, and enhance efficiency and benefits.
[0005] However, in existing warehouses, since each shelf area is composed of multiple shelves arranged and combined, the installation position of the surveillance camera is fixed, and generally only the status of the outer layer of goods in a shelf area can be monitored. The storage status of the goods inside the shelf area is difficult to detect in time. In addition, due to the stacking of shelves, the outer layer of goods in a shelf area is close to the aisle, and the air flow around it is faster, while the air flow rate near the inner layer of goods is slower. Therefore, the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the inner and outer layers of goods in a shelf area are located may be different, which may easily cause some goods to undergo quality changes after long-term storage. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the positions of the cargo shelves and monitoring equipment in the existing warehouses are fixed, which easily leads to many monitoring blind spots. In addition, due to the arrangement and stacking of the shelves, there are differences in the temperature and humidity conditions of the environment in which the inner and outer layers of cargo in the shelf area are located, which easily causes some cargo to undergo quality changes under long-term storage.
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an intelligent control system for storage environment based on the Internet of Things, including an intelligent main control system and a warehouse, a plurality of racks are fixedly installed on the top of the warehouse, a plurality of evenly distributed cameras and a plurality of evenly distributed temperature and humidity sensors are fixedly installed on the racks, a plurality of shelf areas are arranged inside the warehouse, each shelf area includes a plurality of shelves placed in close proximity and used to store goods, aisle areas are reserved between adjacent shelf areas, a plurality of groups of parallel main electric slide rails are fixedly connected on the floor of the warehouse, the number of each group of main electric slide rails is a pair, a single shelf is fixedly connected to the upper end of the same group of main electric slide rails, a temperature regulating reflective belt is detachably connected between an adjacent pair of shelves on the upper side of the same group of main electric slide rails, a guide pipe is fixedly connected to the shelf, both ends of the temperature regulating reflective belt are respectively threadedly connected and communicated with the guide pipes on a pair of shelves, a plurality of temperature regulating reflective belts and the guide pipes form a temperature regulating channel, the guide pipe on the shelf near the head of the main electric slide rail is communicated with the air outlet of the fan through a flexible pipe, and the fan is placed on the floor of the warehouse;
[0008] The intelligent main control system includes a monitoring module, an environmental monitoring module and a shelf transfer module. The camera is connected to the monitoring module, the temperature and humidity sensor is connected to the environmental monitoring module, and the main electric slide is connected to the shelf transfer module.
[0009] An intelligent control system for storage environment based on the Internet of Things, the control method thereof comprises the following steps:
[0010] S1. Real-time monitoring of the external goods status of the shelf area is carried out directly through the camera, and wide-angle imaging of the goods in the monitoring blind area is carried out through the temperature-adjusting reflective tape, so as to realize indirect monitoring of the blind area by the camera, and real-time monitoring of the storage environment is carried out through the temperature and humidity sensor;
[0011] S2. Regularly transfer the shelves in the shelf area from head to tail, specifically as follows: start the main electric slide rail through the shelf transfer module to drive the first shelf on each shelf area to move to the tail position of the adjacent shelf area, so that the second shelf in each shelf area is exposed and used as the first shelf in the shelf area again, so that the camera can monitor the internal goods of the shelf area;

When the number of personnel recorded in the outgoing registration module is less than the number of personnel in the incoming registration module, it indicates that there are staff members who have not left the warehouse. At this time, step S2 is delayed until the number of personnel recorded in the incoming registration module and the outgoing registration module is the same, indicating that there are no stranded staff members in the warehouse. At this time, step S2 can be performed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0043] The following describes two implementation modes of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0044] The first implementation method:
[0045] The present invention provides a storage environment intelligent control system based on the Internet of Things. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including an intelligent main control system and a warehouse 1, a plurality of racks are fixedly installed on the top of the warehouse 1, a plurality of evenly distributed cameras 2 and a plurality of evenly distributed temperature and humidity sensors (not shown in the figure) are fixedly installed on the racks, a plurality of shelf areas are arranged inside the warehouse 1, each shelf area includes a plurality of shelves 4 placed closely together and used to store goods, and aisle areas are reserved between adjacent shelf areas, combined with Figure 5 As shown, there are adjacent shelf areas A and B, both of which are composed of a plurality of shelves 4 arranged in combination, with an aisle area between them for people to move around and carry goods. A plurality of groups of parallel distributed main electric slide rails 3 are fixedly connected to the ground of the warehouse 1, and each group of main electric slide rails 3 is a pair. A single shelf 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the same group of main electric slide rails 3, and there is also an aisle area between two adjacent groups of main electric slide rails 3.
[0046] See also Figure 3A temperature-regulating reflective belt 5 is detachably connected between an adjacent pair of shelves 4 on the upper side of the same group of main electric slide rails 3, and the two ends of the temperature-regulating reflective belt 5 are connected to the side ends of a pair of shelves 4 in different directions. When a pair of shelves 4 are attached to each other, the length direction of the temperature-regulating reflective belt 5 is parallel to the length direction of the shelves 4, and is clamped between the pair of shelves 4. When the pair of shelves 4 are separated, the length of the temperature-regulating reflective belt 5 is stretched and is diagonally arranged between the pair of shelves 4 and located on the upper side of the aisle area, so that wide-angle imaging of the goods on the shelves 4 on both sides can be performed.
[0047] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the shelf 4 is fixedly connected with a guide tube 6, and the two ends of the temperature-adjusting reflective belt 5 are respectively threadedly connected with the guide tubes 6 on a pair of shelves 4 and communicate with each other, and an adjacent pair of temperature-adjusting reflective belts 5 are communicated with the same guide tube 6 on the middle shelf 4, so that a plurality of temperature-adjusting reflective belts 5 and a plurality of guide tubes 6 form a temperature-adjusting channel ( Figure 6 The direction of the arrow in the middle is the direction of the temperature control channel path). Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the guide pipe 6 on the shelf 4 near the head position of the main electric slide rail 3 is connected to the fan outlet through the flexible pipe 7. The fan (not shown in the figure) is placed on the floor of the warehouse 1. When the fan is started, the gas can enter the guide pipe 6 connected to it through the flexible pipe 7, and then gradually flow along the temperature control channel composed of the temperature control reflection belt 5 and the guide pipe 6, and be released on the corresponding shelf 4 through the guide pipe 6, which effectively regulates the temperature of the environment near the goods. The type of fan can be selected according to actual conditions. The guide pipe 6 on the shelf 4 near the tail position of the main electric slide rail 3 can be sealed with a sealing plug, so that the gas entering the temperature control channel can be fully discharged through multiple guide pipes 6.
[0048] The intelligent main control system includes a monitoring module, an environmental monitoring module and a shelf transfer module. The camera 2 is connected to the monitoring module, the temperature and humidity sensor is connected to the environmental monitoring module, and the main electric slide rail 3 is connected to the shelf transfer module.
[0049] An intelligent control system for storage environment based on the Internet of Things, the control method thereof comprises the following steps:
[0050] S1, directly monitor the external goods status of the shelf area in real time through camera 2, perform wide-angle imaging of goods in the monitoring blind area through temperature-adjusting reflective tape 5, realize indirect monitoring of the blind area by camera 2, and monitor the storage environment in real time through temperature and humidity sensors;
[0051] S2, regularly transfer the head and tail of shelf 4 in the shelf area, as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the main electric slide rail 3 is started by the shelf transfer module to drive the first shelf 4 on each shelf area to move to the tail position of the adjacent shelf area, so that the second shelf 4 of each shelf area is exposed and used as the first shelf 4 of the shelf area again, so that the camera 2 can monitor the internal goods of the shelf area;
[0052] S3, during the transfer of the shelves 4 in step S2, the temperature-adjusting reflective belt 5 between a pair of shelves 4 will be unfolded and horizontally arranged on the upper side of the aisle area, and the temperature-adjusting reflective belt 5 will display the status of the goods on the shelves 4 on both sides, so that the camera 2 can indirectly monitor the goods in different monitoring blind spots;
[0053] For example: Figure 5 As shown, the adjacent two sides of shelf area A are shelf area B and shelf area C respectively, and shelf area C is close to the inner wall of warehouse 1. When performing step S2, shelf area C is kept unchanged, and the first shelves 4 of all other shelf areas on the side away from the inner wall of warehouse 1 are moved toward shelf area C until they are moved to the adjacent shelf area, such as: the first shelf 4 of shelf area A is moved to shelf area C, the second shelf 4 of shelf area A is exposed and used as the first shelf 4 of shelf area A again, and the first shelf 4 of shelf area B is moved to shelf area A, the second shelf 4 of shelf area B is exposed and used as the first shelf 4 of shelf area B again, and so on;
[0054] After the above steps, for the shelf areas on the same group of main electric slide rails 3, the remaining shelf areas except shelf area C are all transferred, so that the inner shelves 4 of the shelf area can be regularly transferred to the outside of the shelf area, and the goods on them can be directly monitored by the camera 2 in time, or indirectly monitored by the camera 2 through wide-angle imaging of the temperature-adjusting reflective belt 5 horizontally arranged in the aisle area, thereby effectively improving the monitoring range. In addition, after the inner shelves 4 are moved to the outside of the shelf area, the air near the goods can also exchange and flow with the air in the aisle area, and the temperature and humidity near each shelf 4 can be regularly adjusted to improve the storage quality of the goods;
[0055] Supplementary explanation: The transfer direction of the above-mentioned shelves 4 is: from shelf area B to shelf area A. Since the number of shelves 4 in each shelf area is limited, after multiple consecutive transfer operations in the above direction, the shelves 4 at shelf area E close to the other inner wall of the warehouse 1 have all been transferred to shelf area F. At this time, when the shelves are transferred again, the shelf movement direction needs to be changed, that is, from shelf area A to shelf area B, and the shelves 4 are returned to their original positions regularly. This is repeated to achieve long-term cyclic transfer of the shelves 4.
[0056] S4. Assume that: multiple shelf areas on the same group of main electric slide rails 3 belong to the same storage area. When abnormal temperature and humidity are detected in one of the storage areas, first determine whether the type of fan connected to this storage area needs to be adjusted according to environmental requirements, and then start the fan. Figure 6 As shown, the air of suitable temperature is input into the temperature regulating channel composed of the temperature regulating reflective belt 5 and the guide pipe 6 through the fan, and the air is dispersed into the inside of the shelf 4 through the guide pipe 6, so as to evenly regulate the temperature and humidity of the storage area;
[0057] For example, when a high temperature is detected, a cooling fan is selected to be connected to the flexible pipe 7 to input low-temperature gas into the temperature control channel to cool down the environment near the storage area; when a low temperature is detected, a hot air fan is selected to be connected to the flexible pipe 7 to input hot air into the temperature control channel to heat up the environment near the storage area; when a high humidity is detected and the temperature is normal, an ordinary fan is selected to input dry air into the temperature control channel to accelerate the gas flow near the storage area, promote the evaporation of water and discharge it out of the warehouse 1, thereby reducing the humidity.
[0058] Based on the actual situation, there may be people entering and exiting or carrying goods in the warehouse 1. Therefore, in order to improve the safety of the shelf 4 during movement, the present embodiment also sets the following contents: the intelligent main control system also includes a voice broadcast module, an entry registration module and an exit registration module. The entry registration module is used to register the identity of a person when he needs to enter the warehouse 1, and the exit registration module is used to register the identity of a person when he leaves the warehouse 1. Both the entry registration module and the exit registration module can use fingerprint recognition registration equipment to record the people entering and leaving the warehouse 1.
[0059] Before proceeding to step 2, the following operations are also required:
[0060] 1. Start the voice broadcast module to remind personnel to stop entering Warehouse 1, and remind personnel already in Warehouse 1 to complete their work quickly and leave Warehouse 1;
[0061] 2. Query the personnel data in the incoming registration module and the outgoing registration module. When the number of personnel recorded in the outgoing registration module is less than the number of personnel in the incoming registration module, it indicates that there are staff members who have not left Warehouse 1. At this time, step S2 is delayed until the number of personnel recorded in the incoming registration module and the outgoing registration module is the same, indicating that there are no stranded staff members in Warehouse 1. At this time, step S2 can be performed.
[0062] Through the above-mentioned voice broadcasting and in-and-out registration and verification means, it is not easy for people and goods to exist in the aisle area during the transfer of shelf 4, so it is not easy to hinder the transfer of shelf 4, affect the safety of goods on shelf 4, and cause harm to people.
[0063] The following is a detailed description of the structure and function of the main electric slide rail 3, the shelf 4, the temperature-adjusting reflective belt 5 and the guide tube 6:
[0064] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the shelf 4 includes a pair of vertical plates 41, and a plurality of evenly distributed horizontal plates 42 are fixedly connected between the pair of vertical plates 41, the horizontal plates 42 are used to carry goods, and the lower ends of the vertical plates 41 are fixedly connected to the bases 43. The main electric slide 3 includes a main rail 31 fixedly connected to the floor of the warehouse 1 and a plurality of main slides 32 slidably connected to the upper ends of the main rails 31. The plurality of main slides 32 are respectively fixedly connected to the lower ends of the plurality of bases 43. The main slides 32 slide on the main rails 31 to achieve translation of the shelf 4 on the same group of main electric slides 3, thereby realizing the transfer process of the shelf 4, and the plurality of main slides 32 on the same main rail 31 have independent driving devices, which can realize the independent movement of a single main slide 32 (this is the prior art), thereby realizing the transfer process of a single shelf 4 in the shelf area in step S2.
[0065] See also Figure 7 The temperature regulating reflection belt 5 includes a hard plate 51, both end surfaces of the hard plate 51 are fixedly connected with convex mirrors 53, both side ends of the hard plate 51 are fixedly connected with elastic belts 52, one end of the elastic belt 52 away from the hard plate 51 is fixedly connected with a T-shaped plate 57, the upper end of the hard plate 51 is fixedly connected with a telescopic tube 54, both ends of the telescopic tube 54 are fixedly connected with a hose 55, and one end of the hose 55 away from the telescopic tube 54 is fixedly connected with a threaded tube 56.
[0066] See also Figure 8 A T-slot 4101 is provided at the top of the side end of the vertical plate 41, and the T-plate 57 is inserted into the inside of the T-slot 4101 from top to bottom. The number of the guide pipes 6 on the shelf 4 is a pair, and a pair of guide pipes 6 are respectively fixedly connected to a pair of vertical plates 41. The guide pipes 6 include a horizontal pipe 61 and a vertical pipe 62. The horizontal pipe 61 is fixedly connected to one end of the vertical plate 41 close to the horizontal plate 42, one end of the vertical pipe 62 is fixedly connected to and communicated with the lower end of the horizontal pipe 61, and the other end thereof vertically penetrates multiple horizontal plates 42 downward. A plurality of evenly distributed air holes 6201 are provided on the vertical pipe 62, and the threaded pipe 56 is threadedly connected to the end of the horizontal pipe 61.
[0067] The T-plate 57 and the T-slot 4101 cooperate to realize the detachable connection between the temperature regulating reflective belt 5 and the shelf 4, and the threaded connection between the threaded tube 56 and the transverse tube 61 realizes the detachable connection between the temperature regulating reflective belt 5 and the guide tube 6, thereby realizing the use and replacement process of the temperature regulating reflective belt 5, and improving the practicality of the present application; the elasticity of the elastic belt 52 makes the entire temperature regulating reflective belt 5 have an elastic stretching function. When a pair of shelves 4 are fitted together, the elastic belt 52 does not need to be stretched, and is clamped between the pair of shelves 4 in its original length and located on the upper side of the uppermost transverse plate 42, without It is easy to affect the combination of the shelves 4. When a pair of shelves 4 move away from each other, the temperature-adjusting reflective belt 5 can adapt to the distance change between the pair of shelves 4 through the stretching of the elastic belt 52 and the elongation of the telescopic tube 54, that is, the transfer process of the shelves 4 is smoothly realized. At the same time, the flexible bending effect of the hose 55 facilitates the connection between the threaded tube 56 and the guide tube 6. The stretched temperature-adjusting reflective belt 5 is horizontally arranged on the upper side of the aisle area, and the convex mirror 53 is used to perform wide-angle imaging of the goods on the shelves 4 on both sides. The camera 2 can indirectly monitor the goods in the blind spot by monitoring the picture in the convex mirror 53.
[0068] See also Fig. 9 The telescopic tube 54 includes a hard rod 5401 fixedly connected to the hard plate 51, and cylindrical grooves 5403 are provided at both ends of the hard rod 5401. An inner tube 5405 is slidably connected inside the cylindrical groove 5403, and a tension spring 5404 is fixedly connected to the end of the inner tube 5405 and the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 5403. The hose 55 is fixedly connected and communicated with the end of the inner tube 5405. An inner hole 5402 is also provided inside the hard rod 5401, and a pair of cylindrical grooves 5403 are connected to each other through the inner hole 5402, and the inner diameter of the inner hole 5402 is smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical groove 5403.
[0069] In the initial state, the tension spring 5404 is at its original length, the inner tube 5405 is mostly inserted into the cylindrical groove 5403, and the telescopic tube 54 is in a contracted state as a whole. When a pair of shelves 4 move away from each other, while the elastic band 52 is stretched, the telescopic tube 54 is pulled by the guide tube 6, so that the tension spring 5404 is stretched and the inner tube 5405 is pulled out, so that the entire telescopic tube 54 has an elastic expansion and contraction effect, which is convenient for adapting to the change in the distance between the pair of shelves 4;
[0070] In addition, through the communication among the inner hole 5402, the cylindrical groove 5403 and the inner tube 5405, the telescopic tube 54 can be connected to the hoses 55 on both sides thereof, and then through the cooperation among the telescopic tube 54, the hose 55 and the threaded tube 56, the guide tubes 6 between an adjacent pair of shelves 4 are connected, so that the temperature regulating reflection belt 5 and the guide tubes 6 form a temperature regulating channel, so that the gas generated by the fan is transmitted to multiple guide tubes 6 in sequence through the temperature regulating reflection belt 5. After the gas enters the vertical tube 62, it can flow out through the air hole 6201 to the vicinity of the goods on each layer of the horizontal plate 42, so as to evenly regulate the temperature of the shelves 4 and the goods from the inside to the outside.
[0071] Second implementation method:
[0072] This embodiment adds the following contents on the basis of embodiment 1 to provide effective obstacle avoidance detection measures during the transfer process of the shelf 4. The details are as follows: Figures 10 to 13 The lower end of the lowermost horizontal plate 42 is connected to an obstacle avoidance component through an auxiliary electric slide rail 11, the auxiliary electric slide rail 11 includes an auxiliary guide rail 1101 fixedly connected to the camera 2 and an auxiliary slide seat 1102 slidably connected to the lower end of the auxiliary guide rail 1101, the obstacle avoidance component includes a neutral plate 8 fixedly connected to the lower end of the auxiliary slide seat 1102, both ends of the neutral plate 8 are fixedly connected to telescopic parts 9, the end of the telescopic part 9 away from the neutral plate 8 is fixedly connected to an airbag 10, the interior of the airbag 10 is fixedly connected to an air pressure sensor, the intelligent main control system also includes an obstacle avoidance alarm module, and the air pressure sensor and the auxiliary electric slide rail 11 are connected to the obstacle avoidance alarm module;
[0073] The telescopic member 9 includes an outer frame 91 and an inner plate 92. The inner plate 92 is slidably connected to the inside of the outer frame 91, and a compression spring 93 is fixedly connected between the two. The end of the outer frame 91 away from the inner plate 92 is fixedly connected to the neutral plate 8, and the end of the inner plate 92 away from the outer frame 91 is fixedly connected to a carrier plate 94. The end of the carrier plate 94 away from the inner plate 92 is fixedly connected to the airbag 10. The airbags 10 on both sides of the neutral plate 8 are respectively located at different heights.
[0074] Combination Fig.14 As shown, the obstacle avoidance method of the above structure is: before performing step S2, that is, before moving the shelf 4, first start the auxiliary electric slide rail 11 corresponding to the lower end of the shelf 4, so that the auxiliary slide 1102 first moves in the direction in which the shelf 4 is about to move, until the obstacle avoidance component is driven to move to the edge end of the horizontal plate 42, at which time the airbag 10 extends from the lower side of the horizontal plate 42 to one side of the shelf 4;
[0075] Subsequently, in the process of the shelf 4 moving from the original shelf area to the adjacent shelf area, when there is an obstacle unexpectedly in the aisle area (such as left-over goods or personnel), the airbag 10 will first contact and squeeze the obstacle. At this time, the airbag 10 is deformed by pressure, triggering the change of its internal air pressure, and the monitoring data of the air pressure sensor increases significantly. After receiving the data change, the obstacle avoidance alarm module immediately sends an alarm to the shelf transfer module, so that the shelf transfer module controls the main electric slide rail 3 to stop running in time, that is, to stop the movement process of the shelf 4 in time. Moreover, during the response period of the obstacle avoidance alarm module and the shelf transfer module, the shelf 4 has not stopped moving. At this time, the airbag 10 continues to squeeze the obstacle, and the airbag 10 transmits the squeezing force to the telescopic member 9. Through the elastic compression of the compression spring 93, the inner plate 92 moves toward the inside of the outer frame 91, and the length of the telescopic member 9 is shortened, thereby providing sufficient response time for both the obstacle avoidance alarm module and the shelf transfer module. Before the shelf 4 stops moving, it is not easy for the obstacle avoidance component and the shelf 4 to have a destructive collision with the obstacle, which provides an effective safety obstacle avoidance effect for the transfer process of the shelf 4.
[0076] Since the shelf 4 can move in both directions, the obstacle avoidance components arranged left and right and staggered up and down can realize obstacle avoidance detection of the shelf 4 when the shelf 4 moves forward or backward, and when there is no obstacle, the shelf 4 can be smoothly transferred to the adjacent shelf area. At this time, since the pair of air bags 10 on the neutral plate 8 are staggered up and down, the extended telescopic member 9 and the air bag 10 can smoothly enter the lower side of the adjacent shelf 4, and are not easy to collide with the obstacle avoidance component at the lower end of the adjacent shelf 4, which facilitates the smooth use of the obstacle avoidance component.
[0077] In view of current practical needs, the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to the scope of protection. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
