Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pallets, in particular to a counting pallet. Background Art

[0002] Pumped-storage power stations rely on large, enclosed warehouses for daily operation. To accommodate the storage needs of various accessories, tools, and goods, multiple sets of sturdy heavy-duty shelves are installed in the warehouses. Furthermore, various specialized storage facilities, such as steel pallets, plastic pallets, and cages, are also provided in accordance with logistics requirements.

[0003] In pumped-storage power stations, dozens of pallets are used to transport these materials. During the frequent round-trip transportation of these equipment and goods, in order to ensure the traceability of the materials, it is necessary to count them based on the number of pallets.

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0018] A counting tray, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, it includes a tray 1, a radio frequency card 2 fixedly connected to the side wall of the tray 1, an identification circuit, and a counting circuit 6. The identification circuit sends an identification signal once after identifying the radio frequency card 2 once. The counting circuit 6 is coupled to the identification circuit, and after responding to the identification signal once, it records and displays the number of times.

[0019] like Figure 3 As shown, the identification circuit includes an RFID reader 3, a controller 4, and a trigger circuit 5; The RFID reader 3 is used to read the radio frequency card 2 and then send a read signal. The controller 4 is connected to the RFID reader 3 and outputs a control signal in response to the read signal. The trigger circuit 5 connects the output ends of the RFID reader 3 and the controller 4, and outputs an identification signal when the read signal and the control signal are consistent. At the same time, the controller 4 includes a modem and a level controller 4. The RFID reader 3 is coupled to the level controller 4 through the modem, and outputs a control signal to the trigger circuit 5 in response to the read signal. The modem outputs a BCD code control signal to the trigger circuit 5 in response to the read signal which is a pulse signal. The level controller 4 is a minimum system based on a single-chip microcomputer. The input end of the level controller 4 is coupled to the modem, and outputs a high level to the trigger circuit 5 when the BCD code control signal is verified to be consistent with the read signal.

[0020] The trigger circuit 5 includes a quasi-stable circuit and a level-triggered D flip-flop. The quasi-stable circuit is coupled to the level controller 4 through an inverter, and responds to a high level to continuously output a high-level quasi-stable signal with a set duration. The output end of the D flip-flop is coupled to the counting circuit 6, and responds to the high-level quasi-stable signal to continuously transmit the trigger signal to the counting circuit 6. The D flip-flop is a 74LS175 chip, and the quasi-stable circuit is a 555 time base chip.

[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, the counting circuit 6 includes a monostable multivibrator, two 7-segment display decade counters 4026, and two displays. The monostable multivibrator is connected to the output end of the D flip-flop. The monostable multivibrator is coupled to the display through the 7-segment display decade counter 4026. The monostable multivibrator is a 555 time base chip.

[0022] In the present invention, when a forklift is moving, when the pallet 1 with the radio frequency card 2 set on its side wall passes the RFID reader 3, the RFID reader 3 will read the radio frequency card 2 on the pallet 1, and then output a reading signal to the controller 4, which outputs a control signal to the trigger circuit 5 in response to the reading signal. At the same time, the RFID reader 3 will also transmit the reading signal to the trigger circuit 5. When the trigger circuit 5 verifies that the reading signal and the control signal are consistent, it outputs an identification signal to the counting circuit 6. The counting circuit 6 counts after receiving the identification signals one by one, and transmits them to the display for display. In this way, when the pumped storage power station places equipment or other goods on the pallet 1, it can perform statistics during the transportation process without manual statistics, thereby avoiding the situation where the number of pallets 1 is counted incorrectly.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
