Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of warehousing and logistics equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent weighing and metering rack. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern logistics and warehousing industries, rack storage systems, as core equipment for warehouse management, directly affect the operational efficiency of the entire logistics system in terms of their level of automation and intelligence.
[0003] Existing racking storage systems typically employ manual operation or simple mechanized equipment for sorting and storing goods. Specifically, existing racking systems require operators to weigh and classify goods beforehand, and then manually place them in designated rack locations. The entire process has a very low degree of automation, and sorting efficiency needs to be improved.
[0004] This manual operation mode is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to sorting errors due to human factors, affecting the accuracy of warehouse management. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to propose an intelligent weighing and metering rack, which aims to reduce the intensity of manual operation and improve the accuracy of warehouse management.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes an intelligent weighing and metering rack, comprising:
[0007] First shelf group;
[0008] The second shelving group, the first shelving group and the second shelving group are arranged opposite each other along the X direction, and a freight aisle extending along the Y direction is provided between the first shelving group and the second shelving group;
[0009] A freight transport mechanism, which is movably disposed within the freight transport channel along the Y direction;
[0010] A weighing and measuring mechanism is provided on the freight mechanism. The weighing and measuring mechanism is used to weigh the goods on the freight mechanism. The freight mechanism is used to tilt towards the first shelf group or the second shelf group according to the weight of the goods so that the goods fall into the first shelf group or the second shelf group. The weighing and measuring mechanism is also used to obtain the quantity of the goods that fall into the first shelf group or the second shelf group.
[0011] In one embodiment, the freight mechanism includes a displacement structure and a freight structure, the freight structure being hinged above the displacement structure and extending along the Y direction. The displacement structure is movably disposed within the freight aisle along the Y direction, the freight structure extending along the X direction, and a weighing and measuring mechanism mounted on the freight structure. The freight structure is used to tilt toward the first shelf group or the second shelf group according to the weight of the goods.
[0012] In one embodiment, the freight transport structure includes a load-bearing plate, a Z-direction drive component, a vertical rod, a support, and a rotating shaft. The weighing and measuring mechanism is mounted on the load-bearing plate. The load-bearing plate extends along the X-direction, and the rotating shaft is mounted on both sides of the load-bearing plate that are opposite each other along the Y-direction. The rotating shaft extends along the Y-direction, and the support is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. The top end of the vertical rod is connected to the support, and the bottom end of the vertical rod is connected to the displacement structure. The two ends of the load-bearing plate along its extension direction are a connecting end and a free end, respectively. The connecting end is located near the first shelf group, and the free end is located near the second shelf group. The rotating shaft is located between the connecting end and the free end of the load-bearing plate. The Z-direction drive component is mounted on the displacement structure, and the output end of the Z-direction drive component is connected to the connecting end of the load-bearing plate. The Z-direction drive component is used to drive the connecting end of the load-bearing plate to rise and fall according to the weight of the goods, so as to drive the free end of the load-bearing plate to rise and fall around the rotating shaft, so that the connecting end of the load-bearing plate tilts towards the first shelf group or the free end of the load-bearing plate tilts towards the second shelf group.
[0013] In one embodiment, the freight transport structure further includes a reset assembly that extends along the Z direction and is telescopic along the Z direction. The top end of the reset assembly is connected to the free end of the bearing plate, and the bottom end of the reset assembly is connected to the displacement structure.
[0014] In one embodiment, the reset assembly includes a mounting base, a limiting post, and an elastic element. The mounting base is mounted on the free end of the support plate. Both the limiting post and the elastic element extend along the Z direction. The elastic element is capable of telescoping along the Z direction. The limiting post is mounted on the displacement structure. The bottom end of the elastic element is connected to the top end of the limiting post, and the top end of the elastic element is connected to the mounting base.
[0015] In one embodiment, the geometric center of the support plate is set to correspond to the axis of the rotating shaft.
[0016] In one embodiment, the displacement structure includes a Y-direction drive, a track, and a support platform. The track extends along the Y-direction, and the support platform is slidably mounted on the track along the Y-direction. The freight structure is mounted on the support platform. The output end of the Y-direction drive is connected to the support platform and is used to drive the support platform to move the freight structure, the weighing and measuring mechanism, and the cargo along the track.
[0017] In one embodiment, the weighing and measuring mechanism includes a weighing module and a measuring module. An installation cavity is formed on the support plate, and the weighing module is installed in the installation cavity. The measuring module is installed at both the connecting end and the free end of the support plate. The weighing module is used to weigh the goods on the support plate, and the measuring module is used to obtain the quantity of goods that fall into the first shelf group or the second shelf group.
[0018] In one embodiment, the mounting cavity is disposed between the connecting end of the support plate and the free end of the support plate.
[0019] In one embodiment, the first shelf group is inclined downward along the X direction from the freight mechanism in a direction away from the freight mechanism, and the top of the first shelf group is located below the freight mechanism; the second shelf group is inclined downward along the X direction from the freight mechanism in a direction away from the freight mechanism, and the top of the second shelf group is located below the freight mechanism.
[0020] The technical solution of this invention solves the problems of low automation, poor sorting efficiency, and complex manual measurement in traditional racking systems by automatically tilting and sorting goods according to their weight using a freight mechanism and coordinating with a weighing and measuring mechanism to count quantities in real time. This achieves automated sorting and storage of goods. It eliminates the need for multiple goods transfers in traditional methods, improving operational efficiency. The automatic tilting mechanism utilizes gravity to complete goods transfer, simplifying the system structure and reducing energy consumption. The real-time counting function provides accurate inventory information, helping to optimize warehouse management. It reduces manual intervention, lowers the risk of operational errors, and improves sorting accuracy and speed, better meeting the needs of the modern logistics industry for efficient and precise warehouse management.

[0028] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0031] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0032] In traditional rack storage systems, the sorting process relies on manual weighing and sorting, making it impossible to automate storage decisions based on weight characteristics. The physical separation between weight data collection and sorting execution leads to system delays and low operational efficiency. Manual intervention increases the risk of errors, and the overall system efficiency is limited by the speed and accuracy of human intervention.
[0033] For example, in a logistics center's goods sorting scenario, when goods enter the storage area via a conveyor line, operators need to manually transfer the goods to an independent weighing platform to obtain weight data, then determine the storage location according to preset rules, and finally move the goods to the designated shelving group using a forklift or conveyor belt. During this process, the goods undergo three physical displacements, each incurring time loss and positioning errors. When the weight of the goods is at a critical threshold, manual judgment is prone to classification errors. Incorrectly sorted goods must re-enter the sorting process, causing equipment to idle and energy wasted.
[0034] If the above problems are not addressed, sorting efficiency will remain limited by manual operation speed, failing to meet the demands of high-frequency cargo throughput. Secondary processing due to incorrect sorting will exacerbate equipment wear and tear, increasing maintenance costs. Asynchronous processing of weight data and sorting actions will cause lag in system control commands, potentially leading to location allocation conflicts in dynamic warehousing environments. Bottlenecks in manual operation processes will restrict the overall responsiveness of the warehousing system, making it difficult to meet the technical requirements of modern logistics for real-time data synchronization and automated decision-making.
[0035] To address this technical problem, this invention proposes an intelligent weighing and metering shelf.
[0036] Please see Figure 1In one embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent weighing and metering rack includes a first rack group 100, a second rack group 200, a freight mechanism 300, and a weighing and metering mechanism 400. The first rack group 100 and the second rack group 200 are arranged opposite each other along the X direction, and a freight channel 101 extending along the Y direction is provided between the first rack group 100 and the second rack group 200. The freight mechanism 300 is movably arranged in the freight channel 101 along the Y direction. The weighing and metering mechanism 400 is arranged on the freight mechanism 300 and is used to weigh the weight of the goods on the freight mechanism 300. The freight mechanism 300 is used to tilt towards the first rack group 100 or the second rack group 200 according to the weight of the goods so that the goods fall into the first rack group 100 or the second rack group 200. The weighing and metering mechanism 400 is also used to obtain the quantity of goods that fall into the first rack group 100 or the second rack group 200.
[0037] It should be noted that the first shelf group 100 and the second shelf group 200 refer to two independent shelf units arranged opposite each other along the X direction. These can be implemented using a metal frame structure or modular shelf components, providing storage space and forming a freight aisle 101. The freight aisle 101 is a transport path located between the first shelf group 100 and the second shelf group 200, extending along the Y direction. It can be implemented using ground rails or a spatial isolation area, providing movement space for the freight mechanism 300 to transport goods. The freight mechanism 300 is a transport device movably installed along the Y direction within the freight aisle 101. It can be implemented using a slide with drive wheels or an electric conveyor belt structure, used to carry goods and trigger tilting actions based on weight to complete sorting. The weighing and measuring mechanism 400 is a weight detection and quantity counting device integrated into the freight mechanism 300. It can be implemented using a pressure sensor combined with a photoelectric counter, used to measure the weight of goods in real time and count the quantity of goods sorted to the shelves on both sides.
[0038] The core innovation of this application lies in the synergistic effect of the freight mechanism 300 and the weighing and measuring mechanism 400 to achieve real-time detection of cargo weight and automatic triggering of shelf sorting action, while simultaneously completing sorting quantity statistics, thereby replacing manual operation and improving warehouse sorting efficiency and automation level.
[0039] The working process and principle of this application are as follows: The intelligent weighing and metering rack includes a first rack group 100, a second rack group 200, a freight mechanism 300, and a weighing and metering mechanism 400. The first rack group 100 and the second rack group 200 are arranged opposite each other along the X direction, and a freight aisle 101 extending along the Y direction is provided between them. The freight mechanism 300 is movably arranged within the freight aisle 101 along the Y direction. The weighing and metering mechanism 400 is arranged on the freight mechanism 300 and is used to weigh the goods on the freight mechanism 300.
[0040] The freight mechanism 300 tilts towards the first shelf group 100 or the second shelf group 200 based on the weight of the goods measured by the weighing and measuring mechanism 400. This tilting action allows the goods to automatically fall into the first shelf group 100 or the second shelf group 200. The weighing and measuring mechanism 400 also has a counting function to obtain the number of goods that have fallen into the first shelf group 100 or the second shelf group 200.
[0041] The specific working process is as follows: First, the goods are placed on the freight mechanism 300. The weighing and measuring mechanism 400 then measures the weight of the goods. Based on a preset weight threshold, the freight mechanism 300 determines which shelf group the goods should be assigned to. Then, the freight mechanism 300 tilts accordingly towards the first shelf group 100 or the second shelf group 200, using gravity to allow the goods to slide down to the target shelf group. Simultaneously, the weighing and measuring mechanism 400 records the number of goods that have fallen into each shelf group. This achieves automatic sorting and storage of goods. By integrating weighing, judgment, sorting, and counting functions into one system, the efficiency of warehousing operations is greatly improved. The tilting design of the freight mechanism 300 cleverly utilizes gravity to complete the transfer of goods, eliminating the need for an additional power unit. The dual functions (weighing and counting) of the weighing and measuring mechanism 400 further enhance the system's information management capabilities.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is specifically implemented as follows:
[0043] The intelligent weighing and metering rack consists of a first rack group 100, a second rack group 200, a freight aisle 101, a freight mechanism 300, and a weighing and metering mechanism 400. The first rack group 100 and the second rack group 200 are arranged opposite each other along the X-direction, forming a freight aisle 101 extending along the Y-direction. The freight mechanism 300 is installed within the freight aisle 101 and can move along the Y-direction. The weighing and metering mechanism 400 is integrated into the freight mechanism 300.
[0044] The freight handling mechanism 300 employs a tiltable platform design, with its two sides facing the first shelving group 100 and the second shelving group 200, respectively. A drive unit is installed at the bottom of the platform, enabling it to tilt to either side. The weighing and measuring mechanism 400 includes a weight sensor and a counter; the weight sensor is mounted below the platform surface, and the counter is positioned along the two edges of the platform.
[0045] In operation, goods are placed on the platform of the freight mechanism 300. Weight sensors immediately measure the weight of the goods and transmit the data to the control system. The control system determines the appropriate shelf group for the goods based on a preset weight threshold. Subsequently, the drive unit tilts the platform towards the target shelf group at an angle sufficient to allow the goods to slide down under gravity.
[0046] As goods slide past the platform edge, a counter records the quantity. The goods eventually fall into the corresponding shelf group. The entire process is automated, requiring no manual intervention. The freight mechanism 300 can move along the Y-axis to distribute goods to different locations within the shelf group.
[0047] The technical solution provided by this invention solves the problems of low automation, poor sorting efficiency, and complex manual measurement in traditional racking systems by automatically tilting and sorting goods according to their weight using a freight mechanism 300 and coordinating with a weighing and measuring mechanism 400 to count quantities in real time. This achieves automated sorting and storage of goods. It eliminates the need for multiple goods transfers in traditional methods, improving operational efficiency. The automatic tilting mechanism utilizes gravity to complete goods transfer, simplifying the system structure and reducing energy consumption. The real-time counting function provides accurate inventory information, helping to optimize warehouse management. It reduces manual intervention, lowers the risk of operational errors, and improves sorting accuracy and speed, better meeting the needs of modern logistics industries for efficient and precise warehouse management.
[0048] Please continue reading. Figure 1 And see Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present invention, the freight mechanism 300 includes a displacement structure 310 and a freight structure 320. The freight structure 320 is hinged above the displacement structure 310. The displacement structure 310 extends along the Y direction. The displacement mechanism is movably disposed within the freight channel 101 along the Y direction. The freight structure 320 extends along the X direction. A weighing and measuring mechanism 400 is installed on the freight structure 320. The freight structure 320 is used to tilt toward the first shelf group 100 or the second shelf group 200 according to the weight of the goods.
[0049] It should be noted that the displacement structure 310 includes a track 312 extending along the Y direction and a support platform 313. The support platform 313 is connected to the track 312 via a sliding pair, forming a movable support platform. The freight structure 320 is connected to the support platform 313 via a hinge shaft, the axis of which is parallel to the Y direction, allowing the freight structure 320 to rotate around the Y axis. The main body of the freight structure 320 extends along the X direction, with its two ends corresponding to the positions of the first shelf group 100 and the second shelf group 200, respectively. The weighing and metering module 420 is fixed to the surface of the freight structure 320 for real-time monitoring of cargo weight distribution.
[0050] More specifically, the displacement structure 310 achieves translation along the Y-axis through the sliding engagement of the track 312 and the support platform 313, allowing the freight structure 320 to reach any position within the freight aisle 101. When the weighing module 420 detects the weight of the goods, the freight structure 320 selects a tilting direction based on a preset weight threshold. The hinged connection ensures a stable connection between the freight structure 320 and the displacement structure 310 during tilting, preventing overall structural displacement due to tilting. The design of the freight structure 320 extending along the X-direction ensures that goods are directly aligned with the receiving area of the target shelf group during tilting, improving sorting accuracy. The sliding engagement of the support platform 313 and the track 312 further reduces movement resistance, allowing the displacement structure 310 to quickly respond to position adjustment needs.
[0051] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: The freight mechanism 300 includes a displacement structure 310 and a freight structure 320. The freight structure 320 is hinged above the displacement structure 310. The displacement structure 310 extends along the Y direction and is movably disposed within the freight channel 101 along the Y direction. The freight structure 320 extends along the X direction. A weighing and measuring mechanism 400 is installed on the freight structure 320. The freight structure 320 is used to tilt towards the first shelf group 100 or the second shelf group 200 according to the weight of the goods.
[0052] The displacement structure 310 can adopt a track 312 structure, including tracks 312 installed on both sides of the freight aisle 101. The freight structure 320 can be slidably connected to the tracks 312 via pulleys or sliders to achieve movement in the Y direction. A pivot 325 is provided at the bottom of the freight structure 320, and the pivot 325 is hinged to the displacement structure 310, allowing the freight structure 320 to rotate around the pivot 325. The weighing mechanism 400 can be an electronic scale, installed on the top platform of the freight structure 320. When goods are placed on the platform, the weighing mechanism 400 measures the weight of the goods and transmits the data to the control system. The control system controls the tilt angle of the freight structure 320 based on the weight data, tilting the goods into the corresponding shelf group.
[0053] Through the above technical solution, this application realizes the automatic weighing, sorting, and storage of goods. The separate design of the freight mechanism 300 makes the system more flexible and adaptable. The displacement structure 310 is responsible for moving along the channel, while the freight structure 320 is responsible for weighing and tipping the goods. The two work together to improve the overall efficiency of the system. At the same time, this design also facilitates system maintenance and upgrades, allowing for individual optimization or replacement of each part according to actual needs. In addition, the integration of the weighing and measuring mechanism 400 with the freight structure 320 enables real-time measurement and accurate classification of the goods' weight, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of sorting.
[0054] Please continue reading. Figure 1and Figure 2 And see Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present invention, the freight structure 320 includes a bearing plate 321, a Z-direction drive component 322, a vertical rod 323, a support 324, and a rotating shaft 325. The weighing and measuring mechanism 400 is mounted on the bearing plate 321. The bearing plate 321 extends along the X-direction, and rotating shafts 325 are mounted on both sides of the bearing plate 321 that are opposite to each other along the Y-direction. The rotating shafts 325 extend along the Y-direction, and the support 324 is rotatably connected to the rotating shafts 325. The top end of the vertical rod 323 is connected to the support 324, and the bottom end of the vertical rod 323 is connected to the displacement structure 310. The two ends of the bearing plate 321 along its extension direction are a connecting end 3211 and a free end 3212, respectively. The connecting end 3211 is located near the first shelf group 100. The free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321 is positioned close to the second shelf group 200. The rotating shaft 325 is positioned between the connecting end 3211 of the bearing plate 321 and the free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321. The Z-direction drive 322 is installed on the displacement structure 310. The output end of the Z-direction drive 322 is connected to the connecting end 3211 of the bearing plate 321. The Z-direction drive 322 is used to drive the connecting end 3211 of the bearing plate 321 to rise and fall according to the weight of the goods, so as to drive the free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321 to rise and fall around the rotating shaft 325, so that the connecting end 3211 of the bearing plate 321 tilts towards the first shelf group 100 or the free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321 tilts towards the second shelf group 200.
[0055] It should be noted that the bearing plate 321 adopts a plate-like structure extending along the X direction, with rotating shafts 325 symmetrically installed on both sides along the Y direction. The axis of the rotating shafts 325 is parallel to the Y direction. The support 324 forms a rotating pair with the rotating shaft 325 through a bearing or bushing structure. The top of the vertical rod 323 is rigidly connected to the support 324, and the bottom is fixed to the bearing platform 313 of the displacement structure 310 by bolts or welding. The Z-direction driving component 322 is an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder. The bottom of its cylinder body is installed on the bearing platform 313 through a flange, and the end of the push rod is connected to the lower surface of the connecting end 3211 of the bearing plate 321 through a hinge. The rotating shaft 325 is arranged in the middle area of the bearing plate 321, between the connecting end 3211 and the free end 3212. The connecting end 3211 is horizontally aligned with the first shelf group 100, and the free end 3212 is horizontally aligned with the second shelf group 200. The reset assembly 326 can be a spring or a pneumatic damper. Its top end is connected to the lower surface of the free end 3212 via the mounting base 3261, and its bottom end is fixed to the support platform 313 via the limiting post 3262.
[0056] More specifically, after the weighing and measuring mechanism 400 measures the weight of the goods, the control system determines whether the goods should fall into the first shelf group 100 or the second shelf group 200 based on a preset weight threshold. If unloading is required to the first shelf group 100, the Z-direction drive component 322 retracts the push rod, causing the connecting end 3211 of the support plate 321 to descend, and the free end 3212 to rise upward around the rotating shaft 325 under the support of the reset component 326, forming a slope inclined towards the first shelf group 100. Under the action of gravity, the goods slide into the first shelf group 100 along the inclined surface of the support plate 321. If unloading is required to the second shelf group 200, the Z-direction drive component 322 extends the push rod to lift the connecting end 3211, and the free end 3212 moves downward under the elastic force of the reset component 326, forming a slope inclined towards the second shelf group 200. The rotating shaft 325 serves as a rotation fulcrum, and the rigid connection between the support 324 and the vertical rod 323 maintains the structural stability of the support plate 321 when it is tilted. The design of aligning the geometric center of the bearing plate 321 with the axis of the rotating shaft 325 ensures that the bearing plate 321 remains horizontally balanced under no-load conditions, preventing deflection due to its own weight. The reset component 326 provides a counterforce after the tilting action is completed, assisting the bearing plate 321 in quickly returning to a horizontal state.
[0057] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: The freight structure 320 includes a bearing plate 321, a Z-direction drive component 322, a vertical rod 323, a support 324, and a rotating shaft 325. The weighing and measuring mechanism 400 is installed on the bearing plate 321. The bearing plate 321 extends along the X direction, and rotating shafts 325 are installed on both sides of the bearing plate 321 that are opposite to each other along the Y direction. The rotating shafts 325 extend along the Y direction. The support 324 is rotatably connected to the rotating shafts 325. The top end of the vertical rod 323 is connected to the support 324, and the bottom end of the vertical rod 323 is connected to the displacement structure 310. The two ends of the bearing plate 321 along its extension direction are a connecting end 3211 and a free end 3212, respectively. The connecting end 3211 is located near the first shelf group 100, and the free end 3212 is located near the second shelf group 200. The rotating shaft 325 is located between the connecting end 3211 and the free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321. Z-direction drive 322 is installed on displacement structure 310. The output end of Z-direction drive 322 is connected to the connection end 3211 of bearing plate 321. Z-direction drive 322 is used to drive the connection end 3211 of bearing plate 321 to rise and fall according to the weight of the goods, so as to drive the free end 3212 of bearing plate 321 to rise and fall around the rotating shaft 325, so that the connection end 3211 of bearing plate 321 tilts towards the first shelf group 100 or the free end 3212 of bearing plate 321 tilts towards the second shelf group 200.
[0058] Specifically, the Z-direction drive component 322 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric actuator. The support plate 321 can be made of sheet metal, and its surface can be coated with an anti-slip material. The rotating shaft 325 can adopt a bearing structure to reduce friction. The support 324 can adopt a U-shaped structure to form a reliable rotational connection with the rotating shaft 325. The vertical rod 323 can be made of hollow steel tube to reduce weight. The displacement structure 310 can include a slide rail and a slider, with the slider connected to the bottom end of the vertical rod 323.
[0059] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves the automatic tilting function of the freight structure 320. The Z-direction drive component 322 controls the tilt angle of the support plate 321 according to the weight of the goods, enabling the goods to fall accurately into the designated shelf group. This design avoids manual operation and improves the efficiency and accuracy of goods sorting. At the same time, the rotating shaft 325 allows the support plate 321 to tilt smoothly, reducing the risk of goods damage. In addition, the structure is simple in design, easy to maintain, and conducive to long-term stable operation.
[0060] Please continue reading. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present invention, the freight transport structure 320 further includes a reset component 326, which extends along the Z direction and is telescopic along the Z direction. The top end of the reset component 326 is connected to the free end 3212 of the support plate 321, and the bottom end of the reset component 326 is connected to the displacement structure 310.
[0061] It should be noted that the mounting base 3261 is fixed to the bottom surface of the free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321, and the limiting post 3262 is vertically installed on the bearing platform 313 of the displacement structure 310. The elastic element 3263 is a helical spring, sleeved on the outside of the limiting post 3262. A preset gap is maintained between the top of the limiting post 3262 and the mounting base 3261 to ensure that the elastic element 3263 can be compressed or stretched when the bearing plate 321 is tilted. When the free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321 is pressed down, the elastic element 3263 is compressed and contracted; when the free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321 is raised, the elastic element 3263 is stretched and always provides a counterforce.
[0062] More specifically, when the unloading of goods causes the free end 3212 of the support plate 321 to press down, the mounting base 3261 moves downward to compress the elastic element 3263, which stores elastic potential energy. After the goods are completely unloaded, the elastic element 3263 releases its potential energy, pushing the mounting base 3261 upward and causing the free end 3212 of the support plate 321 to return to a horizontal position. The limiting post 3262 physically limits the elastic element 3263 to prevent excessive compression or stretching, thus avoiding plastic deformation. The rigid connection between the mounting base 3261 and the support plate 321 ensures the effective transmission of the reset force, and the expansion and contraction characteristics of the elastic element 3263 make the reset process smooth and shock-free. This structure automatically returns to its initial position after each tilt of the support plate 321, eliminating the risk of displacement caused by changes in gravity distribution and ensuring the accurate execution of subsequent weighing and sorting operations.
[0063] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: The freight structure 320 further includes a reset component 326, which extends along the Z direction and is telescopic in the Z direction. The top end of the reset component 326 is connected to the free end 3212 of the support plate 321, and the bottom end of the reset component 326 is connected to the displacement structure 310. Specifically, the reset component 326 can be a telescopic device such as a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder, with its bottom end fixed to the displacement structure 310 and its top end hinged to the free end 3212 of the support plate 321. When the support plate 321 tilts, the reset component 326 can telescopically drive the support plate 321 back to a horizontal state. For example, the piston rod of the cylinder can retract when the support plate 321 tilts and extend when reset is needed, thereby pushing the free end 3212 of the support plate 321 to a horizontal position.
[0064] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves the automatic reset function of the support plate 321. Therefore, after the cargo is unloaded, the support plate 321 can be restored to its initial horizontal state without manual operation, preparing it for the next loading. Furthermore, this automatic reset mechanism improves the overall system efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and makes the cargo loading and unloading process more consistent and smooth. At the same time, the reset component 326 also ensures a smooth transition of the support plate 321 between various working states, avoiding potential damage to the cargo caused by sudden tilting or shaking.
[0065] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present invention, the reset assembly 326 includes a mounting base 3261, a limiting post 3262, and an elastic member 3263. The mounting base 3261 is mounted on the free end 3212 of the support plate 321. Both the limiting post 3262 and the elastic member 3263 extend along the Z direction. The elastic member 3263 can extend and retract along the Z direction. The limiting post 3262 is mounted on the displacement structure 310. The bottom end of the elastic member 3263 is connected to the top end of the limiting post 3262, and the top end of the elastic member 3263 is connected to the mounting base 3261.
[0066] It should be noted that the mounting base 3261 is fixed to the free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321 to provide a connection fulcrum for the elastic element 3263; the limiting post 3262 is fixed on the displacement structure 310, and its axial direction is consistent with the Z direction, limiting the movement trajectory of the elastic element 3263; the elastic element 3263 is made of helical spring or rubber, and its extension direction is parallel to the extension direction of the limiting post 3262, ensuring that the free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321 always moves along the Z direction during the lifting and lowering process.
[0067] More specifically, when the support plate 321 tilts due to the weight of the goods, the free end 3212 is pressed down by the reset assembly 326, and the elastic element 3263 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. After the goods are unloaded, the elastic element 3263 releases its potential energy, pushing the mounting base 3261 and the free end 3212 of the support plate 321 upward along the axis of the limiting post 3262, so that the support plate 321 returns to a horizontal state. The limiting post 3262 restricts the lateral displacement of the elastic element 3263 through a rigid structure, preventing the free end 3212 of the support plate 321 from shifting position during the reset process. For example, the extension stroke of the elastic element 3263 matches the height of the limiting post 3262, ensuring that the distance between the free end 3212 and the displacement structure 310 remains constant after the support plate 321 is reset, thereby improving the reset accuracy and the repeatability of the sorting operation.
[0068] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is specifically implemented as follows: The reset assembly 326 includes a mounting base 3261, a limiting post 3262, and an elastic member 3263. The mounting base 3261 is mounted on the free end 3212 of the support plate 321. Both the limiting post 3262 and the elastic member 3263 extend along the Z direction. The elastic member 3263 is capable of telescoping along the Z direction. The limiting post 3262 is mounted on the displacement structure 310. The bottom end of the elastic member 3263 is connected to the top end of the limiting post 3262, and the top end of the elastic member 3263 is connected to the mounting base 3261.
[0069] Specifically, the mounting base 3261 can be made of metal and is fixed to the bottom of the free end 3212 of the bearing plate 321 by bolts. The limiting post 3262 has a cylindrical structure and is made of stainless steel, with its bottom end fixed to the displacement structure 310 by welding. The elastic element 3263 is a compression spring made of spring steel, with the bottom end of the spring sleeved on the top end of the limiting post 3262, and the top end contacting the bottom surface of the mounting base 3261.
[0070] When the support plate 321 is tilted, the elastic element 3263 is compressed, storing elastic potential energy. When the support plate 321 returns to a horizontal state, the elastic element 3263 releases its potential energy, pushing the free end 3212 of the support plate 321 upward, thereby achieving the reset of the support plate 321.
[0071] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves the automatic reset function of the bearing plate 321. Due to the use of the elastic element 3263, the reset process is smooth and reliable, avoiding sudden rebound of the bearing plate 321 that could impact the cargo. Simultaneously, the limiting post 3262 prevents excessive compression and lateral deformation of the elastic element 3263, extending the service life of the reset assembly 326. Furthermore, this structure is simple and compact, easy to install and maintain, and improves the overall working efficiency and reliability of the freight mechanism 300.
[0072] In a preferred embodiment, the geometric center of the support plate 321 is set to correspond to the axis of the rotating shaft 325.
[0073] Please continue reading. Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present invention, the displacement structure 310 includes a Y-direction drive member 311, a track 312, and a support platform 313. The track 312 extends along the Y direction, and the support platform 313 is slidably mounted on the track 312 along the Y direction. The freight structure 320 is mounted on the support platform 313. The output end of the Y-direction drive member 311 is connected to the support platform 313 and is used to drive the support platform 313 to drive the freight structure 320, the weighing and measuring mechanism 400, and the goods to slide along the track 312.
[0074] It should be noted that the track 312 is made of rigid metal and its surface is provided with sliding grooves or slide rail structures; the bottom of the support platform 313 is equipped with rollers or sliders that match the sliding grooves; the Y-direction drive component 311 is a servo motor or linear motor, and its output end is connected to the support platform 313 through a coupling or transmission belt; the top of the support platform 313 is provided with an installation interface for fixing the freight structure 320; and limit blocks are provided at both ends of the track 312 to prevent the support platform 313 from falling out.
[0075] More specifically, after the Y-direction drive 311 is activated, its output end pushes the carrier platform 313 to slide along the track 312. The freight structure 320, the weighing and metering mechanism 400, and the goods move synchronously with the carrier platform 313. The track 312 restricts the carrier platform 313 to translate only in the Y direction through sliding grooves or rails, avoiding lateral deviation. The servo motor or linear motor provides precise displacement control, enabling the carrier platform 313 to be accurately positioned at the target location. The limit block restricts the movement range of the carrier platform 313, ensuring safe operation. As a result, the movement stability and positioning accuracy of the freight mechanism 300 in the Y direction are improved, and the goods can be accurately transported to the designated sorting area, significantly improving sorting efficiency.
[0076] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is specifically implemented as follows: The displacement structure 310 includes a Y-direction drive member 311, a track 312, and a support platform 313. The track 312 extends along the Y-direction, and the support platform 313 is slidably mounted on the track 312 along the Y-direction. The freight structure 320 is mounted on the support platform 313, and the output end of the Y-direction drive member 311 is connected to the support platform 313 and is used to drive the support platform 313 to drive the freight structure 320, the weighing and measuring mechanism 400, and the cargo to slide along the track 312.
[0077] Specifically, the track 312 can be a linear guide rail made of metal and installed at the bottom of the freight channel 101. The support platform 313 is made of lightweight, high-strength material, and its bottom is equipped with a slider that matches the track 312. The Y-direction drive component 311 can be a motor-driven rack and pinion mechanism. The motor is fixed on the support platform 313, the gear is connected to the support platform 313, and the rack is arranged along the track 312. When the motor rotates, it drives the support platform 313 to move on the track 312 through the rack and pinion transmission. The freight structure 320, the weighing and metering mechanism 400, and the goods to be transported are all installed or placed on the support platform 313 and move together with the support platform 313.
[0078] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves automated movement of the freight mechanism 300 in the Y direction. Thus, goods can be automatically transferred within the freight aisle 101 between the first shelf group 100 and the second shelf group 200, without manual pushing or handling. This automated movement method improves the efficiency and accuracy of goods transportation, reducing labor costs and operational errors. Simultaneously, due to the use of track 312 guidance and motor drive, the movement of the freight mechanism 300 is smoother and more controllable, which helps protect the safety of goods and equipment. Furthermore, this structural design makes the entire system more compact and integrated, saving storage space and improving space utilization.
[0079] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present invention, the weighing and measuring mechanism 400 includes a weighing module 410 and a measuring module 420. A mounting cavity 3021 is formed on the support plate 321. The weighing module 410 is installed in the mounting cavity 3021. The measuring module 420 is installed on both the connecting end 3211 and the free end 3212 of the support plate 321. The weighing module 410 is used to weigh the weight of the goods on the support plate 321, and the measuring module 420 is used to obtain the quantity of goods falling into the first shelf group 100 or the second shelf group 200.
[0080] It should be noted that the mounting cavity 3021 is located between the connecting end 3211 and the free end 3212 of the support plate 321. The weighing module 410 is embedded inside the mounting cavity 3021 to avoid direct contact with the goods. The metering modules 420 are fixed at both ends of the support plate 321 near the shelf group, with the connecting end 3211 corresponding to the first shelf group 100 and the free end 3212 corresponding to the second shelf group 200. When the support plate 321 is tilted, the goods slide to the lower side, triggering the corresponding metering module 420 to count. The weighing module 410 completes the weight measurement before the goods move. The mounting cavity 3021 is located between the rotating shaft 325 and the geometric center, 50-100mm away from the axis of the rotating shaft 325, so that the weighing module 410 is in the static equilibrium area of the support plate 321.
[0081] More specifically, when goods are placed on the support plate 321, the weighing module 410 measures the weight data within the mounting cavity 3021. Subsequently, the Z-direction drive component 322 drives the connecting end 3211 to rise or fall according to the weight, causing the support plate 321 to tilt. During the process of goods sliding towards the lower shelf group, when they detach from the support plate 321, the corresponding end metering module 420 is triggered to record the quantity. The mounting cavity 3021 isolates the weighing module 410 from the goods' sliding path, avoiding measurement errors caused by goods being squeezed or collided during tilting; the metering module 420 is arranged close to the entrance of the shelf group to ensure accurate counting at the moment the goods detach. The weighing module 410 and the metering module 420 are set separately, performing weight detection and quantity statistics functions respectively, avoiding signal interference. When the geometric center of the support plate 321 coincides with the axis of the rotating shaft 325, the mounting cavities 3021 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the axis, further reducing the torque influence of dynamic tilting on the symmetrical weighing module 410.
[0082] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: A rectangular mounting cavity 3021 is formed on the surface of the support plate 321, which is located in the middle area between the connecting end 3211 and the free end 3212. The weighing module 410 uses a pressure sensor array embedded inside the mounting cavity 3021, and the surface of the pressure sensor array is flush with the surface of the support plate 321. A first infrared counter is installed on the edge of the connecting end 3211 of the support plate 321, and a second photoelectric counter is installed on the edge of the free end 3212. The pressure sensor array is connected to the control system via a data cable. When goods are placed on the surface of the support plate 321, the pressure sensor array detects the weight distribution of the goods in real time. The first infrared counter records the number of goods entering the first shelf group 100 by detecting the obstruction signal when the goods slide down, and the second photoelectric counter counts the number of goods entering the second shelf group 200 by the number of times the laser beam is blocked.
[0083] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves the integration of dual functions of cargo weighing and classification counting. The pressure sensor array can accurately detect the weight distribution characteristics of the cargo, ensuring the reliability of the weight detection data; the independent counters placed at both ends can accurately distinguish the number of goods entering the warehouse from different shelf groups, avoiding operational errors from manual counting. The centrally located mounting cavity 3021 ensures that the detection area of the weighing module 410 covers the main load-bearing area of the cargo, guaranteeing the accuracy of weight detection, while not affecting the installation space of the counters at both ends.
[0084] As an optional implementation, the mounting cavity 3021 is located in the middle area between the connecting end 3211 and the free end 3212, forming a wrap-around fixation for the weighing module 410. Independent metering modules 420 are respectively provided at both ends of the support plate 321, with the connecting end 3211 corresponding to the direction of the first shelf group 100 and the free end 3212 corresponding to the direction of the second shelf group 200. The weighing module 410 adopts an embedded installation method, with its top surface flush with the surface of the support plate 321. The metering module 420 uses photoelectric sensors or pressure sensing devices, respectively vertically aligned with the goods landing area of the two shelf groups.
[0085] Specifically, when goods are placed on the support plate 321, the weighing module 410 in the middle area directly contacts the bottom surface of the goods to detect their weight. After the support plate 321 tilts according to the weight value, the goods slide along the tilted surface towards the connecting end 3211 or the free end 3212. At the moment the goods leave the support plate 321, the metering module 420 at the corresponding end generates a counting signal by detecting the physical signal change when the goods pass through. The central setting of the mounting cavity 3021 allows the weighing module 410 to avoid the dynamic deformation areas at both ends of the support plate 321, ensuring the stability of weight detection. The metering modules 420 at both ends are independently set and correspond to different sliding paths, avoiding counting omissions caused by misalignment between the sliding direction of the goods and the detection area. For example, when the goods slide towards the connecting end 3211, only the metering module 420 at the connecting end 3211 is triggered to count, while the module at the free end 3212 remains silent. This regional detection mechanism decouples the weighing and counting functions, making the weight data and the sorting quantity independently verifiable.
[0086] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the measurement error problem caused by uneven cargo distribution in the weighing module 410. The mounting cavity 3021 is located between the connecting end 3211 and the free end 3212, enabling the weighing module 410 to accurately capture the overall stress state of the bearing plate 321 and eliminate local pressure distortion caused by cargo sliding towards the inclined end. Simultaneously, this location effectively isolates the vibration interference generated by the lifting mechanism of the connecting end 3211 and the reset assembly 326 of the free end 3212, improving the stability of the weighing data. During cargo tilting, the central arrangement of the mounting cavity 3021 avoids extreme off-center loads on the sensor, ensuring the service life of the measuring device.
[0087] Please continue reading. Figure 2 and Figure 3 And see Figure 4 In an embodiment of the present invention, the mounting cavity 3021 is disposed between the connecting end 3211 of the support plate 321 and the free end 3212 of the support plate 321.
[0088] It should be noted that the mounting cavity 3021 is located in the middle area between the connecting end 3211 and the free end 3212 of the support plate 321, so that the weighing module 410 coincides with the center of gravity distribution area of the goods. The weighing module 410 is embedded inside the mounting cavity 3021 to avoid interference from external mechanical structures; the metering modules 420 are fixed to the edge areas at both ends of the support plate 321, directly aligned with the sliding path of the goods. The central arrangement of the mounting cavity 3021 ensures that the weighing module 410 remains parallel to the contact surface of the goods when the support plate 321 is in a horizontal or inclined state, eliminating measurement errors caused by angle changes. For example, the depth of the mounting cavity 3021 is two-thirds of the thickness of the support plate 321, the upper surface of the weighing module 410 is flush with the surface of the support plate 321, and the weight of the goods is evenly transferred to the weighing module 410 through the support plate 321.
[0089] More specifically, when goods are placed on the support plate 321, their weight is measured in real time by the weighing module 410 within the mounting cavity 3021. When the support plate 321 tilts under the action of the Z-direction drive member 322, the goods slide along the tilt direction. At this time, the central position of the mounting cavity 3021 ensures that the weighing module 410 remains parallel to the contact surface with the goods during the tilting process, preventing the force direction of the weighing module 410 from shifting due to changes in the angle of the support plate 321. When the goods slide down to the first shelf group 100 or the second shelf group 200, the metering module 420 located at the corresponding end of the support plate 321 detects the number of goods that have slid down using a photoelectric sensor or a pressure sensor. The central position of the mounting cavity 3021 further balances the structural strength of the support plate 321, reducing the impact of deformation on the weighing module 410 during tilting. For example, when the free end 3212 of the support plate 321 is elastically supported by the reset component 326, the rigid structure of the central area can effectively suppress vibration interference.
[0090] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: the geometric center of the support plate 321 is aligned with the axis of the rotating shaft 325. Specifically, the support plate 321 has a rectangular structure, and the rotating shaft 325 is located at the middle of the support plate 321. The support plate 321 is 100 cm long and 50 cm wide, and the axis of the rotating shaft 325 is located at 50 cm along the length of the support plate 321 and 25 cm along the width. Thus, the geometric center of the support plate 321 coincides with the axis of the rotating shaft 325, allowing the support plate 321 to maintain balance when tilted, which is beneficial to the stability of the goods.
[0091] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves balanced tilting of the support plate 321. The geometric center of the support plate 321 coincides with the axis of the rotating shaft 325, ensuring stability of the support plate 321 during tilting and reducing the risk of goods slipping or tipping over. Furthermore, this design allows the support plate 321 to maintain good balance at different tilt angles, improving the reliability and safety of goods transport. Therefore, this application improves the working efficiency of the intelligent weighing and metering rack and the accuracy of goods handling.
[0092] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present invention, the first shelf group 100 is inclined downward along the X direction from the freight mechanism 300 in a direction away from the freight mechanism 300, and the top of the first shelf group 100 is located below the freight mechanism 300; the second shelf group 200 is inclined downward along the X direction from the freight mechanism 300 in a direction away from the freight mechanism 300, and the top of the second shelf group 200 is located below the freight mechanism 300.
[0093] It should be noted that the first shelf group 100, the second shelf group 200, and the freight mechanism 300 form a continuous inclined surface that is spaced apart and not directly connected. The inclination angle is achieved by extending the shelf group along the X-direction. The positional relationship between the top and the freight mechanism 300 is achieved by setting the top below the freight mechanism 300, creating a height difference. The first shelf group 100 and the second shelf group 200 adopt a symmetrical inclined layout, with both inclined in the X-direction away from the freight mechanism 300. The inclined surfaces of the shelf groups and the inclined movement of the freight mechanism 300 create a spatial coordination, allowing goods to directly contact the top area of the shelf group after leaving the freight mechanism 300.
[0094] More specifically, when the freight mechanism 300 tilts towards the first shelf group 100 or the second shelf group 200, the goods slide out of the freight mechanism 300 along the tilt direction. The top of the shelf group is located below the freight mechanism 300, so that the end of the goods' sliding trajectory is highly connected to the top of the shelf group. Under the action of gravity, the goods slide along the tilted surface of the shelf group in the direction away from the freight mechanism 300 until they reach the designated storage location. The vertical distance between the top of the shelf group and the freight mechanism 300 is controlled within the range of 10-50 mm to ensure that the goods slide without obstruction. The tilt angle of the shelf group is set to 5-15 degrees, which ensures that the goods slide naturally while avoiding the acceleration and collision of goods due to excessive angle. Through this structure, the continuity and directionality of the goods transfer path are guaranteed, the sorting accuracy is improved, and the need for manual intervention is reduced.
[0095] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: The first shelf group 100 is installed at an angle downwards along the X direction from the freight mechanism 300 in a direction away from the freight mechanism 300, with its top located directly below the freight mechanism 300. The second shelf group 200 is symmetrically installed on the other side of the freight aisle 101 with the same angle. Specifically, both the first shelf group 100 and the second shelf group 200 are fixed to the ground by support frames. The top height of the support frames is lower than the lowest point of the bearing surface of the freight mechanism 300, so that after the goods slide down from the free end 3212 or the connecting end 3211 of the freight mechanism 300, they can naturally slide into the storage area of the corresponding shelf group along the inclined surface. The inclined surface of the shelf group is made of anti-slip textured steel plate, forming a continuous slope with the horizontal plane, and the goods complete directional movement through gravity during the sliding process. The distance between the tops of the shelf groups on both sides of the freight aisle 101 is less than the width of the freight mechanism 300, ensuring that the goods can only fall into the storage space of the corresponding shelf group.
[0096] Through the aforementioned technical solution, this application utilizes the coordinated operation of tilted shelving units and the freight mechanism 300 to achieve automatic directional sliding of goods after weighing, avoiding efficiency losses caused by manual handling or mechanical pushing. The design of the top of the shelving unit being located below the freight mechanism 300 eliminates the risk of jamming due to height differences during the goods' descent, while the anti-slip surface ensures stable movement of goods, improving sorting accuracy. The symmetrical tilting structure further simplifies the sorting path, allowing goods to be classified and stored with only a single tilting action, significantly optimizing the automation level of the warehousing system.

Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present invention and the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
