Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of modular storage systems, and particularly relates to a transfer tray with a self-locking disassembly structure and its locking and releasing method. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of power equipment manufacturing and intelligent warehousing, the transfer and storage of single-phase modules, three-phase modules, and terminal modules require frequent switching of pallets of different specifications. The traditional solutions have significant defects:

[0003] Traditional transfer pallets are usually designed for a single module (such as single-phase or three-phase) only and cannot be compatible with multiple types of modules, resulting in low logistics efficiency and doubling of equipment costs.

[0004] The existing pallets are structurally separated from the storage cabinets, and the modules need to be secondarily transported from the pallets into the cabinets, which is cumbersome to operate and easily damages the interfaces (such as the terminal contact offset > 0.5 mm).

[0005] Ordinary partitioned storage cabinets cannot be directly inserted and matched with the pallets. When stacking modules, manual operation space needs to be reserved, and the warehousing density is reduced by more than 30%.

[0006] Mechanical buckles or general magnetic attraction structures are difficult to adapt to different module sizes, resulting in insecure fixation or excessive disassembly resistance.

[0007] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need for a transfer pallet that combines multi-module compatibility, direct connection ability with storage cabinets, and intelligent locking to improve the logistics efficiency of power equipment and the level of warehousing intelligence. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is as follows: The present invention aims to provide a transfer tray with a self-locking disassembly structure and its locking and releasing method. Through non-contact magnetic-mechanical dual locking, intelligent closed-loop control, and extreme environment adaptation design, the transfer tray solves the pain points of low positioning accuracy, short service life, and poor environmental adaptability in traditional technologies, and has potential for disruptive applications in the field of precision electronics.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0010] A transfer tray with a self-locking disassembly structure, comprising:

[0011] A tray body with a magnetically controlled slot, whose composite frame comprises a carbon fiber reinforced polymer matrix and an electrorheological fluid bladder; the electrorheological fluid bladder is attached to the inner wall of the slot and turns into a solid state after being electrified;

[0012] A Halbach permanent magnet array integrated at the bottom of the slot, arranged by N52 neodymium iron boron magnets with a phase difference of π / 4, and the magnetic field gradient intensity ≥ 5 T / m;

[0013] The module is built-in with a soft magnetic alloy tag, which is made of Fe78Si9B13 amorphous strip, and the magnetic susceptibility χ≥10 4 , and forms a magnetic potential well lock with the Halbach array;

[0014] The phase change driven release component is set at the bottom of the slot and includes lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramics and a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy ejector rod.

[0015] Among them, the electrorheological fluid capsule contains a base fluid and dielectric particles. The base fluid is silicone oil; the dielectric particles are TiO 2 @SiO 2 core-shell structure, with a particle size of 5-10μm and a volume fraction of 30-35%.

[0016] Among them, the soft magnetic alloy tag contains an amorphous strip with a thickness of 20±2μm, and a 2μm titanium nitride coating is covered on the surface; the magnetic permeability μ≥1.5×10 5 , and the saturation magnetization intensity Ms = 1.6×10 6 A / m.

[0017] Among them, the magnetic field gradient intensity of the Halbach permanent magnet array is 5.5-7.5T / m, and the range of the magnet spacing d is 5.0-6.5mm.

[0018] Among them, the thickness of the amorphous strip is 19-21μm, the surface roughness Ra of the titanium nitride coating ≤0.1μm, and the hysteresis loss ≤2.5J / m 3 .

[0019] Among them, the size of the N52 neodymium iron boron magnet is 5×5×20mm 3 , the tolerance of the adjacent magnet spacing is ±0.05mm, and the fluctuation of the magnetic field gradient intensity ≤±3%.

[0020] Among them, the locking method of the tray includes:

[0021] After the module is inserted, apply an electric field of 3kV / mm to the electrorheological fluid capsule to make its shear strength ≥50kPa;

[0022] The Halbach array and the soft magnetic tag are coupled to form a magnetic potential well, and the potential well depth U = 2.5±0.3J;

[0023] The locked state data is encrypted into a 128-bit feature code and uploaded to the cloud through the LoRaWAN protocol.

[0024] Among them, the release method of the tray includes:

[0025] When unlocking, apply a 10A pulsed current to the shape memory alloy ejector rod to raise its temperature to 50±2℃ and generate a displacement of 4.0±0.1mm to push the module away;

[0026] Synchronously activate the piezoelectric ceramic to generate a reverse electric field with an electric field strength of -3 kV / mm ± 5%, eliminating the remanent magnetism of the soft magnetic tag to Br < 0.01 T;

[0027] The electrorheological fluid bladder switches to the zero electric field state.

[0028] Among them, the pulse current is 9 - 11 A, the temperature control range is 48 - 52 °C, and the displacement accuracy is ±0.05 mm.

[0029] Among them, the method for generating the reverse electric field of the piezoelectric ceramic includes:

[0030] The high - voltage amplifier module outputs a voltage of -30 kV, the voltage ripple < 0.1%, and the temperature drift compensation coefficient is ±5 ppm / °C;

[0031] Step - up voltage control: Apply voltage in three levels, in the order of 0 → -10 kV → -20 kV → -30 kV, with an interval of 5 ms between each level;

[0032] In the steady - state maintenance stage, PWM modulation is adopted, the duty cycle is 95%, and the electric field strength range is -2.85 kV / mm to -3.15 kV / mm.

[0033] In summary, due to the adoption of the above - mentioned technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0034] 1. Traditional mechanical buckles rely on physical contact for locking, are prone to wear, and have low positioning accuracy. The present invention forms a magnetic potential well through the coupling of the Halbach array and the soft magnetic tag, realizing non - contact locking, without mechanical wear, and significantly improving the insertion and extraction life.

[0035] 2. Existing technologies only rely on single magnetic attraction or mechanical fixation. The present invention innovatively combines the solidification of electrorheological fluid and the adsorption of the magnetic potential well to form a dual - lock: among them, the electrorheological fluid provides initial rigid support to suppress high - frequency vibration, and the magnetic potential well provides non - contact holding force to avoid positioning deviation caused by mechanical friction, which is suitable for safe transportation.

[0036] 3. Traditional release requires manual operation or simple electronic control. The present invention realizes millisecond - level unlocking through the displacement of the SMA ejector rod and the reverse electric field of the piezoelectric ceramic, and the cooperation error between the SMA ejector rod and the piezoelectric ceramic is extremely small.

[0037] 4. Traditional electromagnetic locks require continuous power supply. The present invention adopts passive magnetic potential well locking and pulse drive (the energy consumption for single - time unlocking is 15 J), and the comprehensive energy efficiency is increased by 80%. At the same time, 128 - bit AES - 256 encryption + LoRaWAN protocol has a very high anti - cracking level; the operation data is encrypted and stored in a tamper - proof chip, supporting blockchain traceability.

[0038] Through non-contact magnetic-mechanical dual locking, intelligent closed-loop control, and extreme environment adaptation design, this transfer tray solves the pain points of traditional technologies such as low positioning accuracy, short lifespan, and poor environmental adaptability, and has disruptive application potential in the field of precision electronics.
