[0025] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 The present invention provides a fully automatic welded electronic seal inventory management system that is easy to inspect, comprising: an electronic seal 1, used to record the traceability information and on / off status of a nuclear material container, the positive and negative electrodes of the electronic seal 1 are respectively connected with metal welding feet 2, the metal welding extends from the inside of the electronic seal 1 to the outside, and the metal welding feet 2 located outside the electronic seal 1 are provided with a slit formed by micro-cutting; a metal barrel hoop 3, used to lock the nuclear material container when the two ends of the metal barrel hoop 3 are bolted together; a welding mechanism, used to weld the two metal welding feet 2 of the electronic seal 1 to the metal barrel hoop 3 and respectively located on both sides of the bolt locking position to connect the electronic seal 1, and when the metal barrel hoop 3 is loose, the electronic seal 1 is disconnected by disconnecting the slit in the metal welding feet 2.

[0026] It can be understood that the traceability information and on / off status of the nuclear material container are recorded by the electronic seal 1, and the positive and negative poles of the electronic seal 1 are respectively connected to metal welding feet 2, and the metal welding extends from the inside of the electronic seal 1 to the outside, and the metal welding feet 2 located outside the electronic seal 1 are provided with a slit formed by micro-cutting; the metal barrel hoop 3 is used to lock the nuclear material container when the two ends of the metal barrel hoop 3 are bolted together; the welding mechanism is used to weld the two metal welding feet 2 of the electronic seal 1 to the metal barrel hoop 3 and are respectively located on both sides of the bolt locking position to connect the electronic seal 1. When the metal barrel hoop 3 is loose, the electronic seal 1 is disconnected by disconnecting the slit in the metal welding foot 2, which can realize automatic supervision of the storage information and storage status of nuclear materials, reduce the harm of nuclear materials to workers, and monitor the sealing status of nuclear material containers in real time. It is stable and reliable, does not require manual inventory, and improves management efficiency.

[0027] In some embodiments, an ultra-high frequency passive electronic tag is disposed inside the electronic seal 1 .

[0028] Specifically, the electronic seal 1 uses a passive UHF chip, so there is no need to consider the battery life issue, and there is no need to charge or replace the battery. In addition, it is not very safe to use lithium batteries in a stereoscopic warehouse loaded with nuclear material containers. The passive UHF chip has an on-off detection function, and the on-off detection pin of the passive UHF chip is connected to the on-off locking assembly through a circuit board. The seal itself does not require battery power. A unique number has been written into the electronic seal 1 when it leaves the factory. When the seal host scans the seal, an UHF signal is sent out. The electronic seal 1 will generate an induced current in the connected state to power the UHF passive electronic tag, thereby completing the reading of the seal number and on-off status.

[0029] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the electronic seal 1 is also provided with a QR code label.

[0030] Specifically, a black QR code is silk-screened on the surface of the seal. The QR code number is consistent with the seal number. Each seal number is unique, which facilitates the automatic binding of the seal number and the barrel number. The QR code label on the electronic seal 1 and the code of the nuclear material container are scanned by the scanning camera to complete the binding of the electronic seal 1 and the corresponding nuclear material container.

[0031] In some embodiments, the metal welding foot 2 is located below the electronic seal 1 and is bent toward the back of the electronic seal 1 , and the shape of one end of the metal welding foot 2 away from the electronic seal 1 fits the shape of the upper edge of the metal barrel hoop 3 .

[0032] Specifically, since the metal welding foot 2 is located below the electronic seal 1 and is bent toward the back of the electronic seal 1, the electronic seal 1 can face outward after welding is completed, which is convenient for information reading. The shape of the end of the metal welding foot 2 away from the electronic seal 1 fits the shape of the upper edge of the metal barrel hoop 3, which can facilitate welding.

[0038] On the other hand, the present invention also provides an inventory management method, which is applied to the above-mentioned fully automatic welded electronic seal inventory management system that is easy to inspect, and the steps include: transporting the locked nuclear material container to one side of the welding mechanism in a preset direction; controlling the welding mechanism to weld the end of the metal welding foot 2 facing away from the electronic seal 1 to the upper edge of the metal barrel hoop 3; controlling the scanning camera to scan the QR code label on the electronic seal 1 and the code of the nuclear material container to complete the binding of the electronic seal 1 and the corresponding nuclear material container; controlling the stacking mechanism to receive the nuclear material container after welding by the welding mechanism in the conveying mechanism, and stacking the nuclear material container in the three-dimensional warehouse according to the preset position; controlling the stacking trolley to slide in the trolley lane according to the preset order, and reading the traceability information and sealing status information of each electronic seal 1 through the seal host reading mechanism.

[0039] Specifically, a unique number has been written into the electronic seal 1 when it leaves the factory, and it can be placed on a customized shelf. The locked nuclear material container is transported to one side of the welding mechanism in a preset direction; the welding mechanism is controlled to weld the end of the metal welding foot 2 away from the electronic seal 1 to the upper edge of the metal barrel hoop 3. After the welding is completed, the barcode reading camera reads the barrel number and the seal number, and sends them to the electronic seal 1 management software after binding to realize the storage binding; the electronic seal 1 host is an ultra-high frequency reader / writer, which can connect to four ultra-high frequency antennas at the same time, and can send the read seal number and on / off status back to the electronic seal 1 management software through the network interface; the seal host and its antenna are installed on the stacker of the stereoscopic warehouse, and the stacking The machine moves horizontally and vertically on the lanes of the stereoscopic warehouse. By controlling the movement of the stacker, it can completely cover the seal number and status reading of the entire stereoscopic warehouse, realize the inventory and seal status reading functions, and each electronic seal 1 can realize the traceability information and on-off status reading without installing batteries. It can be used effectively for a long time, and the structure is simple and compact, stable and reliable; the electronic seal 1 management software is mainly used to manage all electronic seal 1 hosts in the stereoscopic warehouse, communicate and work together with the warehouse management system, stacker control system, and automatic sealing system in the stereoscopic warehouse, and finally realize the automatic binding of seal numbers and barrel numbers into the warehouse, automatic sealing of seals, as well as daily inventory, seal status reading and other functions.
