Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of smart warehousing technology, and in particular to an intelligent detection storage partition and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Multi-layer racks are widely used in the field of logistics and warehousing, with the advantages of low cost, convenient management and high efficiency. For some small and numerous small parts, equipment, auxiliary materials or other items, dividing each shelf of the multi-layer rack into multiple storage compartments for separate storage and management is a common idea for small item management.

[0003] However, for small items that are scattered and numerous, how to conduct effective identity recognition and inventory management is a difficult problem. Some technicians try to use RFID, infrared and other means to sense the presence of small items and identify their identities.

[0004] However, in actual applications, the inventory requirements for many small items are not static. Often, after storing small items of one size, a multi-layer shelf may need to store small items of another size as production plans or logistics plans change. At this time, if the traditional approach is adopted, it is necessary to replace the partitions or the storage compartment division structure in the partitions, but at this time, it faces the problem of rearranging the identification device, especially for the infrared + RFID dual identification method. RFID is non-targeted and can identify the labels of nearby items without rearrangement, but for infrared, it needs to irradiate each storage compartment. When the storage compartment pattern changes, the rearrangement of the infrared unit becomes the biggest obstacle. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent detection storage partition and application thereof.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention includes:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an intelligent detection storage partition, which includes a partition body, an RFID unit, an infrared unit, and a longitudinal partition and a transverse partition;

[0008] The longitudinal partitions and transverse partitions are both in the shape of long strips, and a plurality of the longitudinal partitions are arranged in parallel along a first direction in the partition body, and a plurality of the transverse partitions are arranged in parallel along a second direction on the partition body, the first direction and the second direction intersect and are both within the plane of the partition body; the longitudinal partitions and the transverse partitions divide the partition body into a plurality of storage compartments arranged in an array, the storage compartments are used to store items, and the items carry RFID tags;

[0009] The longitudinal partition is fixedly connected to the partition body, and the transverse partition is detachably spliced ​​with the partition body; the infrared unit is arranged on the transverse partition at a position corresponding to each of the storage compartments, and the infrared emission direction points to the accommodating space of the storage compartment, for sensing whether the items are in the storage compartment; the RFID unit is arranged in the partition body and is located on the side facing away from the storage compartment, for sensing the RFID tag.

[0010] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides an intelligent detection multi-layer rack, which comprises a multi-layer rack body and a plurality of the above-mentioned intelligent detection storage partitions;

[0011] The intelligent detection storage partition is embedded in multiple layers of the multi-layer frame.

[0012] In a third aspect, the present invention further provides an object identification method, which is applied to the above-mentioned intelligent detection multi-layer rack, and comprises:

[0013] For each layer of the intelligent detection storage partition, when the infrared unit corresponding to any storage compartment changes from a non-sensing state to a sensing state, the RFID unit is activated to sense the RFID tags of all items to identify the identity of the items; wherein, the sensing state means that the infrared unit senses the presence of the item through infrared rays.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention at least include:

[0015] The technical solution provided by the present invention, by setting fixed longitudinal partitions and detachable transverse partitions, utilizes the characteristics of the transverse partitions that can adjust the position and quantity to make the storage compartments become expandable structures, and has extremely high spatial adaptability. When faced with the need to store items of different sizes in compartments, the size of the storage compartments can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving the utilization rate of storage space; at the same time, since the infrared unit is set on the transverse partition, the corresponding infrared unit is set or removed when the transverse partition is set or removed, and there is no need for additional installation, wiring, etc., which greatly improves the efficiency of size adjustment and provides a better solution for efficient modern warehousing.

[0016] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0024] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the inventor of this case has proposed the technical solution of the present invention after long-term research and extensive practice. The technical solution, its implementation process and principle will be further explained as follows.

[0025] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are merely used to distinguish one component or method step from another with the same name, but do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these components or method steps.

[0027] As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent detection storage partition, which includes a partition body, a 5)' unit, an infrared unit, a longitudinal partition, and a transverse partition; the longitudinal partition and the transverse partition are both long strips, and a plurality of the longitudinal partitions are arranged in parallel along a first direction in the partition body, and a plurality of the transverse partitions are arranged in parallel along a second direction on the partition body, the first direction and the second direction intersect and are both within the plane of the partition body; the longitudinal partition and the transverse partition divide the partition body into a plurality of storage compartments arranged in an array, the storage compartments are used to store items, and the items carry 5)' labels; the longitudinal partition is fixedly connected to the partition body, and the transverse partition is detachably spliced ​​with the partition body; the infrared unit is arranged on the transverse partition at a position corresponding to each of the storage compartments, and the infrared emission direction points to the accommodating space of the storage compartment, for sensing whether the item exists in the storage compartment; the 5)' unit is arranged in the partition body and is located on the side facing away from the storage compartment, for sensing the 5)' label.

[0028] It should be noted that in the above content, the longitudinal partition is a fixed setting, but it is not completely inseparable. A feasible preferred method is, for example, bolt fastening. In this way, part of the longitudinal partition can be removed when facing different needs to seek larger storage compartment space. Of course, this method is limited to local demolition, and the longitudinal partition cannot be removed in large quantities. It is still necessary to ensure that the position of the horizontal partition can be stably supported to prevent shaking from affecting the alignment of the infrared unit.

[0029] Of course, if there is no such requirement, the most stable way is to set the longitudinal partition to be integrated with the partition body.

[0030] Regarding the combination of the longitudinal and transverse partitions, in some embodiments, the longitudinal partitions and / or the transverse partitions are provided with snap-fit ​​structures to enable the transverse partitions and the longitudinal partitions to be combined.

[0031] The specific form of the buckle structure can be a groove-convex interlocking structure, or can be a variety of different forms such as buckle, magnet, bolt, etc. In some preferred embodiments, the present invention adopts a snap-on type that can be easily separated, that is, the longitudinal partition is provided with a convex block, and the transverse partition is provided with a groove. When the longitudinal partition and the transverse partition are combined, the convex block is embedded in the groove.

[0032] More optimally, in order to facilitate the removal of the newly added transverse partition and to facilitate the wiring and routing of the wiring harness, in some more preferred embodiments, the transverse partition is shaped as a hollow tube, and the central cavity forms a wire passage, and the signal line of the infrared unit is arranged in the wire passage along the length direction of the transverse partition.

[0033] Thus, the infrared unit, its wiring harness (multiple signal lines) and the transverse partition are set into an integrated structure. An integrated connector can be set at the end of the wiring harness to integrate multiple signal lines. When a transverse partition needs to be added, the transverse partition is inserted into the corresponding position, and then the integrated connector is plugged into the corresponding interface. This interface is preferably set at the corresponding position of the partition body, and it is best to be fixed and the position corresponds, so that when the transverse partition is buckled, the connector and the interface are opposite, and can be directly combined in one step; the interface can be wired through the internal hollow of the partition body or structures such as line cards. Of course, the connector here can be set at other locations or re-routed from a distance for plugging in.

[0034] And in some embodiments, in order to facilitate maintenance and other operations, the partition body is provided with a bottom plate, and the bottom plate, the longitudinal partition, and the transverse partition together form the storage compartment; the transverse partition is also provided with a maintenance wire hole, the opening of the maintenance wire hole points to the side facing away from the storage compartment, and the bottom plate is provided with a hollow corresponding to the position of the maintenance wire hole, so that the signal line can be partially exposed on the side facing away from the storage compartment. By providing the maintenance wire hole, when the infrared unit needs to be replaced, the wires can be threaded through these wire holes, without having to remove the entire intelligent detection storage partition for maintenance and replacement.

[0035] The hollowing may be performed only at the position corresponding to the inspection wire hole, or grooves may be opened along the entire extended length of the transverse partition, as long as the inspection wire hole can be exposed and the exposed area is convenient for wiring operation.

[0036] As for other details of the embodiments of the present invention, in some implementation schemes, the / (' unit is a reflective sensor, and a reflector is provided at a corresponding position of another horizontal partition to which the infrared rays emitted by any of the / (' units point.

[0037] Or in some embodiments, the / (' unit is a beam-type component, including a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter is arranged on an adjacent transverse partition, the transmission direction points to another adjacent transverse partition, and the receiver is arranged at a corresponding position of the other transverse partition.

[0038] No matter it is through-beam type or reflection type, the corresponding reflector or receiver of a transverse partition at the edge can be arranged on the edge of the partition body, especially on the rib or beam of the edge.

[0039] In some embodiments, the storage compartments are arranged in columns along the extension direction of the longitudinal partition, and in rows along the extension direction of the transverse partition; at the end of the column, a column storage position indicator light is provided on the side of the partition body; and or, in some embodiments, at the end of the row, a row storage position indicator light is provided on the side of the partition body.

[0040] As shown in the figure, the second aspect of the present invention also provides an intelligent detection multi-layer rack, which includes a multi-layer rack body and a plurality of intelligent detection storage partitions provided by any of the above-mentioned embodiments; the intelligent detection storage partitions are embedded in multiple layers of the multi-layer rack body.

[0041] In some embodiments, the outer frame of the partition body is provided with positioning holes, and the layer edges of the multi-layer frame are provided with positioning pins or bolt holes, and the positioning holes are combined with the multi-layer frame through the positioning pins or the bolt holes.

[0042] The third part of the embodiment of the present invention further provides an object identification method, which is applied to the intelligent detection multi-layer rack provided in any of the above embodiments, and includes the following steps:

[0043] For each layer of the intelligent detection storage partition, when the infrared unit corresponding to any storage compartment changes from a non-sensing state to a sensing state, the 5)' unit is started to sense the 5)' tags of all items to identify the identity of the items; wherein, the sensing state means that the infrared unit senses the presence of the item through infrared rays.

[0044] Of course, in some embodiments, it may also include: when the infrared unit corresponding to any storage compartment changes from a sensing state to a non-sensing state, starting the 5)' unit for secondary sensing to identify the identity of the removed object.

[0045] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through several embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the selected embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0046] Example

[0047] The present embodiment illustrates an intelligent detection storage partition as described above (hereinafter referred to as partition or intelligent partition). The intelligent detection partition integrates an infrared detection identifier (as an infrared unit), a 5)' unit, a positioning indicator light, and a controller in one, and can detect the action trigger information of small items placed on the partition, and detect the identity information of the placed item based on the action trigger information, and light up the corresponding indicator light to display the storage location information corresponding to the item, and upload the sensed information to a management system through wireless or other means such as wiring harnesses. The management system is not the focus of the present invention and is not limited thereto. A common item management system can be used in the example.

[0048] The material composition of the partition body is generally plastic material, which does not affect the recognition performance of the antenna. Of course, the horizontal partition and the vertical partition can also be preferably made of this material. The partition can be adjusted according to the size of the stored items by setting the number and position of the horizontal partitions to form multiple storage locations of different sizes, and different storage locations correspond to different storage location indicators.

[0049] An electrical infrared spotlight sensor is installed on the horizontal partition, and a receiver or a reflector (for reflective electrical infrared spotlight sensors) is correspondingly set on the next adjacent horizontal partition. In this way, recognition can be achieved between every two adjacent horizontal partitions, and the infrared recognition function will not be affected by adding horizontal partitions. By adding new horizontal partitions, new infrared recognition points can be added at the same time, and the number of storage locations can be expanded.

[0050] Through the above method, the partition can support single-point separate indication display, and can also support multi-point joint display to locate a storage location. Therefore, this partition supports horizontal division into one point, two points, three points, four points, six points, points, etc., and vertical division into one point, two points, three points, five points. The vertical and horizontal division can support division into points, etc., and the storage situation of the storage compartment of the corresponding coordinates is determined by the interweaving of the horizontal and storage position indicator lights. For example, the lights in a certain column represent that there is at least one item in this column. The specific location of the item can be known by which one or which horizontal indicator lights correspond to this column.

[0051] In addition, an inspection area (i.e., the back side) is provided at the bottom of the partition, and the above-mentioned 5)' unit, infrared control circuit board and other electrical components are arranged in the inspection area. The wiring harness in the transverse partition can extend through the hollow cavity in the transverse partition, and then connect with the wiring harness in the partition body through the connector interface, and then extend to the control circuit board. Of course, the wiring can also be extended to the control circuit board in the form of suspended wiring.

[0052] For the convenience of management, a label sticking place can also be provided in front of the partition for sticking label information of each storage location.

[0053] Example

[0054] The present embodiment illustrates an intelligent detection multi-layer rack, which is formed by embedding the intelligent detection partitions provided in the embodiment in layers on the multi-layer rack. The embedding method can be screwed using the positioning holes on the edges of the partitions. In addition, it can even be directly connected by positioning pins, so that the partition can be directly removed as a whole during management or inventory.

[0055] When conducting warehouse management, the specific process is as follows: infrared triggering indicates that an item is returned or collected, and at the same time, it detects whether there is an increase or decrease in the number of newly added 5)' tags in the corresponding time period before and after the trigger time point. If it is a returned item, the 5)' tag with the largest number of newly added tags in the time period is bound to the infrared shooting point, and the indicator light corresponding to the infrared point is bound to drive the indicator light to display the location status information and health status information of the item. If it is collected, the collection record is made according to the item information recorded last time.

[0056] The intelligent detection multi-layer rack can be provided with a management system to facilitate on-site operation. Of course, it can also be provided without a management system, and information can be uploaded to the background management via wireless or wired means.

[0057] Based on the above embodiments, it can be clearly seen that the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention, by setting fixed longitudinal partitions and detachable transverse partitions, utilizes the characteristics of the transverse partitions that can adjust the position and quantity to make the storage compartments become expandable structures, and has extremely high spatial adaptability. When faced with the need to store items of different sizes in compartments, the size of the storage compartments can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving the utilization rate of storage space; at the same time, since the infrared unit is set on the transverse partition, the corresponding infrared unit is set or removed when the transverse partition is set or removed, and there is no need for additional installation, wiring, etc., which greatly improves the efficiency of size adjustment and provides a better solution for efficient modern warehousing.

[0058] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
