Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of warehouse logistics, and in particular to a storage device and a settlement adjustment method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] A steel silo is a kind of vertical steel container for storing granular and powdery bulk materials. It is widely used in many fields such as agriculture, chemical industry, mining, metallurgy and power generation due to its high structural strength, light weight, short construction period and excellent economy.

[0003] In the prior art, the steel silo body is made of steel, which has a relatively large self-weight. After loading the bulk material, the overall weight of the steel silo increases significantly, thereby significantly increasing the load transmitted by the steel silo to the ground. However, when the steel silo is installed on a soft foundation or an underground goaf, due to the low bearing capacity and uneven distribution of the foundation, under the long-term effect of the large load of the steel silo and the bulk material, uneven settlement of the ground easily occurs, which causes the overall inclination of the steel silo. This phenomenon not only seriously affects the measurement accuracy of the weighing unit, but also forms a significant safety hazard, which threatens the stable operation of the steel silo.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage device and a settlement adjustment method to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

The storage body is separately connected with the height adjustment assembly and the weighing assembly, and is used for storing materials.

[0008] The storage body has a weighing state and an adjustment state. In the weighing state, the storage body is separated from the height adjustment assembly and connected with the weighing assembly, and the storage body is limited in the support. The weighing assembly is used for weighing the weight of the storage body. In the adjustment state, the storage body is separated from the weighing assembly and connected with the height adjustment assembly, and the height adjustment assembly can drive the storage body to move at least partially vertically.

[0010] Optionally, the storage body comprises a storage cylinder and a connecting seat, the storage cylinder is mounted on the connecting seat and is used for storing materials, and the connecting seat is detachably connected with the weighing assembly and the height adjusting assembly.

[0011] Optionally, the weighing assembly comprises a weighing platform and a plurality of weighing members arranged on the weighing platform, the plurality of weighing members are arranged along the circumference of the storage body and are spaced apart from each other, the weighing platform is arranged on the support and is detachably connected with the bottom of the storage body, and the weighing members are configured to measure the load acting on the weighing platform.

[0013] Optionally, the storage device further comprises an alarm member, the alarm member is electrically connected or communicatively connected with the weighing assembly, and the alarm member is configured to issue an alarm when the weight measured by the weighing assembly exceeds a preset weight.

[0014] In another aspect, a storage device settlement adjusting method is provided, which is applicable to the above-mentioned storage device and comprises the following steps:

[0015] S1, switching the storage body from a weighing state to an adjusting state;

[0016] S2, adjusting the extension length of the height adjusting assembly in the vertical direction, and the height adjusting assembly drives the storage body to move up and down at least partially.

[0017] Optionally, the weighing assembly comprises a plurality of weighing members arranged along the circumference of the storage body and spaced apart from each other, and the weighing members are used to measure at least part of the weight of the storage body in the weighing state;

[0018] Before step S1, the following step is further included: judging whether the weight difference measured by any two weighing members is greater than a preset difference value, if yes, step S1 is executed, and if no, the storage body continues to be in the weighing state;

[0019] In step S2, the extension length of the height adjusting assembly in the vertical direction is adjusted until the weight difference measured by any two weighing members is not greater than the preset difference value.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage device that can acquire the weight of materials in real time and adjust the tilt angle of the storage body by 400 degrees, thereby improving safety in soft foundations and underground goaf areas.

[0045] See Figure 1 The storage device includes a support 100, a height adjustment component 200, a weighing component 300, and a storage body 400. Both the height adjustment component 200 and the weighing component 300 are mounted on the support 100, and the height adjustment component 200 is positioned vertically. Figure 1 The extension length (in the Z direction) is adjustable. The storage body 400 can be detachably connected to both the height adjustment component 200 and the weighing component 300 for storing materials. The storage body 400 has a weighing state and an adjustment state. In the weighing state, the storage body 400 is detached from the height adjustment component 200 and connected to the weighing component 300, which is used to weigh the weight of the storage body 400. In the adjustment state, the storage body 400 is detached from the weighing component 300 and connected to the height adjustment component 200, which can drive the storage body 400 to move at least partially vertically.

[0046] In this embodiment, during normal storage, the storage body 400 is in a weighing state. The weighing component 300 can acquire the total weight of the storage body 400 in real time. This weight includes not only the weight of the storage body 400 itself but also the weight of the materials stored within it, thus obtaining the weight data of the stored materials and providing data support for the safe management of the storage device. When uneven settlement of the foundation causes the storage body 400 to tilt, the storage body 400 is switched to an adjustment state. At this time, adjusting the vertical extension length of the height adjustment component 200 allows for at least a partial vertical movement of the storage body 400, achieving the purpose of adjusting the tilt of the storage body 400. This ensures the measurement accuracy of the weighing component 300 during subsequent storage and significantly improves the safety of the storage device in soft foundations and underground goaf areas. After the tilt angle of the storage body 400 is adjusted, the storage body 400 is separated from the height adjustment component 200 and connected to the weighing component 300 to switch back to the weighing state. This operation is convenient and efficient, and the height of the weighing component 300 remains unchanged during the switching process. Therefore, there is no need to repeatedly calibrate the accuracy of the weighing component 300 during the state transition phase. After the switching is completed, the weighing component 300 can be put into use directly and continuously perform weighing operations, effectively improving the continuity and stability of weighing data and ensuring the reliability of measurement results.

[0047] See Figure 1 The storage device provided in this embodiment integrates three functions: material storage, weighing, and tilt adjustment, which significantly expands the functionality and applicability of the storage device and improves the convenience of material storage.

[0048] For example, the storage device provided in this embodiment is a steel silo, and the stored material is granular or powdery bulk material.

[0049] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The storage body 400 includes a storage cylinder 410 and a connecting seat 420. The storage cylinder 410 is mounted on the connecting seat 420 and is used to store materials. The connecting seat 420 can be detachably connected to both the weighing component 300 and the height adjustment component 200. This configuration ensures that when switching the state of the storage body 400, the weighing component 300 and the height adjustment component 200 are always only connected to the connecting seat 420. This eliminates the need for additional holes in the storage cylinder 410 and prevents damage to the storage cylinder 410, improving the sealing performance and structural strength of the storage cylinder 410 and ensuring the reliability of material storage. Furthermore, in the weighing state, the weight of the storage cylinder 410 and the weight of the stored material can be transferred to the weighing component 300 through the connecting seat 420; in the adjustment state, the height adjustment component 200 can adjust the height of the storage cylinder 410 by driving the connecting seat 420. That is, the load transfer and height adjustment can be achieved through the connecting seat 420 alone, which significantly reduces the number of components in the storage body 400, improves the compactness of the storage body 400 structure, and reduces the production cost of the storage device.

[0050] Specifically, in the weighing state, the connecting seat 420 is connected to the weighing component 300. The weight of the storage cylinder 410 and the material together act on the connecting seat 420, which transfers the weight load to the weighing component 300. The weighing component 300 weighs the load acting on it and simultaneously transfers the load to the support 100. The support 100 then transfers the load to the foundation, achieving stable installation of the storage body 400 on the support 100. In the adjustment state, the connecting seat 420 is connected to the height adjustment component 200. The weight of the storage cylinder 410 and the material together act on the connecting seat 420, which transfers the weight load to the height adjustment component 200. The height adjustment component 200 then transfers the load to the support 100, achieving stable installation of the storage body 400 on the support 100. Conversely, when the vertical extension length of the height adjustment component 200 changes, the height adjustment component 200 drives the connecting seat 420 to move up and down at least partially, and the connecting seat 420 drives the storage cylinder 410 to move up and down at least partially, so as to adjust the tilt angle of the storage cylinder 410.

[0051] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Both the connecting seat 420 and the storage cylinder 410 are made of steel, and the connecting seat 420 is welded to the outer wall of the storage cylinder 410.

[0052] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The connecting seat 420 includes a plurality of connecting posts 421 arranged circumferentially around the storage cylinder 410. Each of the connecting posts 421 is detachably connected to the weighing component 300 and the height adjustment component 200. The arrangement of the multiple connecting posts 421 helps to improve the support stability of the connecting seat 420 on the storage cylinder 410 and the connection strength between the connecting seat 420 and the weighing component 300 and the height adjustment component 200, ensuring the reliability of the storage cylinder 410's installation on the support 100 in both weighing and adjustment states, and improving the safety of material storage.

[0053] For example, the connection post 421 and the weighing component 300 can be detachably connected by means of screwing and snap-fit, and the connection post 421 and the height adjustment component 200 can be detachably connected by means of screwing and snap-fit.

[0054] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The height adjustment assembly 200 includes multiple height adjustment elements 210, which are arranged circumferentially on the support 100 along the storage body 400. The vertical extension length of each height adjustment element 210 is adjustable. The arrangement of multiple height adjustment elements 210 allows for height adjustment at multiple positions along the circumference of the storage body 400. This not only makes the overall vertical height of the storage body 400 adjustable but also allows for adjustment of the tilt angle of the storage body 400, significantly improving the flexibility of settlement adjustment.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage body 400 includes a connecting seat 420 and a storage cylinder 410 installed on the connecting seat 420. The connecting seat 420 includes a connecting post 421 corresponding to a plurality of height adjustment members 210. The connecting post 421 and the corresponding height adjustment member 210 can be detachably connected.

[0056] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The connecting post 421 is provided with a slot 422, and the height adjustment member 210 includes a snap-fit ​​part. In the weighing state, the snap-fit ​​part disengages from the corresponding slot 422, and the height adjustment member 210 is separated from the corresponding connecting post 421. In the adjustment state, the snap-fit ​​part snaps into the corresponding slot 422, and the height adjustment member 210 is connected to the corresponding connecting post 421.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3The height adjustment component 200 is detachably mounted on the bracket 100, which allows staff to quickly and easily replace or repair the height adjustment component 200 if it fails, thus helping to reduce the maintenance cost of the storage device and improve its sustainable operation.

[0058] For example, each height adjustment element 210 is detachably connected to the bracket 100 by bolts.

[0059] In this embodiment, the height adjustment component 210 includes a hydraulic structure, and the piston rod of the hydraulic structure is detachably connected to the connecting seat 420 of the storage body 400. During adjustment, driving the piston rod of the hydraulic structure changes the overall vertical extension length of the height adjustment component 210, thereby changing the tilt angle or vertical height of the storage body 400. This design facilitates operation and maintenance by on-site personnel, reducing the operational risks and maintenance costs associated with the settlement adjustment of the storage body 400.

[0060] Specifically, see Figure 1 When the piston rod of the hydraulic structure extends relative to its cylinder, the vertical extension length of the height adjustment component 210 increases, and the height of the connecting column 421 corresponding to the height adjustment component 210 rises. The connecting column 421 causes the part connected to the storage cylinder 410 to move upward. When the piston rod of the hydraulic structure retracts relative to the cylinder, the vertical extension length of the height adjustment component 210 decreases, and the height of the connecting column 421 corresponding to the height adjustment component 210 decreases. The connecting column 421 causes the part connected to the storage cylinder 410 to move downward.

[0061] In other embodiments, the height adjustment member 210 includes a first adjustment part and a second adjustment part that are slidably connected in the vertical direction. The first adjustment part is connected to the bracket 100, and the second adjustment part is detachably connected to the storage body 400. The overlap length of the first adjustment part and the second adjustment part is adjustable to adjust the extension length of the height adjustment member 210 in the vertical direction.

[0062] Specifically, when the overlap length of the first adjustment part and the second adjustment part decreases, the overall vertical extension length of the height adjustment member 210 increases, the height of the connecting post 421 corresponding to the height adjustment member 210 increases, and the connecting post 421 causes the part connected to the storage cylinder 410 to move upward; when the overlap length of the first adjustment part and the second adjustment part increases, the overall vertical extension length of the height adjustment member 210 decreases, the height of the connecting post 421 corresponding to the height adjustment member 210 decreases, and the connecting post 421 causes the part connected to the storage cylinder 410 to move downward.

[0063] For example, the first adjusting part is an adjusting tube, and the second adjusting part is an adjusting rod. The adjusting rod is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the adjusting tube, and the length of the adjusting rod inserted into the inner cavity of the adjusting tube is the length of overlap between the first adjusting part and the second adjusting part.

[0064] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The weighing assembly 300 includes a weighing platform 310 and multiple weighing elements 320 disposed on the weighing platform 310. The multiple weighing elements 320 are arranged circumferentially around the storage body 400. The weighing platform 310 is mounted on the support 100 and is detachably connected to the bottom of the storage body 400. The weighing elements 320 are configured to measure the load acting on the weighing platform 310. In the weighing state, the weighing platform 310 is connected to the bottom of the storage body 400. The weight of the material stored in the storage body 400 and the weight of the storage body 400 itself can both act on the weighing platform 310. The weight load acting on the weighing platform 310 is then applied to the multiple weighing elements 320 to achieve real-time direct weighing of the material by the multiple weighing elements 320, thereby improving the accuracy of the weighing data. The arrangement of multiple weighing components 320 ensures that the weight of each part of the weighing platform 310 along its circumference can be effectively measured, which helps to further improve the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0065] For example, the weighing component 320 employs a weighing sensor.

[0066] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage body 400 includes a connecting seat 420 and a storage cylinder 410 installed on the connecting seat 420. The weighing platform 310 extends circumferentially along the storage cylinder 410, that is, the cross-sectional shape of the weighing platform 310 is annular. The load of the storage cylinder 410 can be evenly transferred to the weighing platform 310 through the connecting seat 420.

[0067] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The connecting seat 420 includes a plurality of connecting columns 421 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the storage cylinder 410, and the weighing platform 310 includes a plurality of weighing sections 311. A weighing section 311 is provided between any two adjacent connecting columns 421. In the weighing state, two adjacent connecting columns 421 are connected through the corresponding weighing section 311.

[0068] For example, the connecting column 421 can be detachably connected to the corresponding weighing section 311 by bolts.

[0069] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3An anti-overturning connector 110 is provided on the support 100, and the weighing platform 310 is installed on the support 100 through the anti-overturning connector 110. The anti-overturning connector 110 not only securely installs the weighing platform 310 on the support 100, but also provides pull-out resistance to the weighing platform 310, preventing the storage body 400 from overturning due to uneven loading or lateral tilting, further improving the safety of the storage device.

[0070] For example, the anti-overturning connector 110 includes a plurality of anti-overturning screws, and each weighing section 311 is fixedly installed on the bracket 100 by a plurality of anti-overturning screws.

[0071] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage device also includes several settlement monitoring elements 500 installed on the storage body 400. The settlement monitoring elements 500 are configured to monitor the settlement of the storage body 400. Staff can intuitively and quickly understand the settlement of the storage body 400 through the data monitored by the settlement monitoring elements 500, which improves the convenience of using the storage device.

[0072] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Multiple settlement monitoring devices 500 are provided, and these multiple settlement monitoring devices 500 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the storage body 400, which helps to improve the accuracy of the monitoring results.

[0073] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The settlement monitoring element 500 employs a laser displacement sensor, which can both emit and receive laser light. Multiple settlement monitoring elements 500 are arranged symmetrically about the center of the storage body 400, ensuring that the laser emitted by any one element 500 can be received by the symmetrically positioned elements. When the height of the laser received by any settlement monitoring element 500 differs from the height of its emitted laser, it indicates that the storage body 400 has settled. Furthermore, based on the height difference between the laser height received and emitted by the settlement monitoring element 500, the settlement amount at the corresponding position of the storage body 400 and the settlement monitoring element 500 can be directly obtained, making the operation convenient and quick.

[0074] Optionally, the storage device also includes an alarm component, which is electrically or communicatively connected to the weighing component 300 and configured to issue an alarm when the weight weighed by the weighing component 300 exceeds a preset weight, so as to remind the staff to promptly process the material in the storage body 400 or stop adding material to the storage body 400, effectively avoiding the occurrence of overweight phenomena and improving the storage safety of the storage device.

[0075] For example, the alarm may use an alarm light or a buzzer.

[0076] The preset weight is determined based on the volume of the inner cavity of the storage cylinder 410, the bearing capacity of the foundation, and the bearing capacity of the support 100. As long as the weight weighed by the weighing component 300 is less than the preset weight, the storage device can be used reliably.

[0077] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage device also includes a settlement monitoring device 500 installed on the storage body 400. The alarm device is electrically or communicatively connected to the settlement monitoring device 500. When the settlement monitored by the settlement monitoring device 500 is greater than the preset settlement, the alarm device will sound an alarm to remind the staff to adjust the storage body 400 in time, which further improves the storage safety of the storage device.

[0078] The preset settlement amount is determined according to the specific situation. As long as the settlement amount of the storage body 400 is less than the preset settlement amount, the storage device can be used reliably.

[0079] In this embodiment, the storage body 400 is provided with a feed inlet, and a feed valve is provided at the feed inlet, which is electrically or communicatively connected to the alarm device. The feed valve is configured to control the opening and closing of the feed inlet. When storing materials into the storage body 400, the feed valve is used to open the feed inlet, and the materials enter the inner cavity of the storage cylinder 410 through the feed inlet. When the alarm device sounds an alarm, it controls the feed valve to close the feed inlet, and the materials can no longer enter the inner cavity of the storage body 400, thereby realizing automatic control of feeding.

[0080] In some embodiments, the storage device further includes a control unit connected to the weighing platform 310, the settling monitoring element 500, the alarm element, and the feed valve. During weighing, the weight value measured by the weighing element 320 and the settling amount monitored by the settling monitoring element 500 are transmitted to the control unit in real time. When the weight value exceeds a preset weight or the settling amount exceeds a preset settling amount, the control unit controls the alarm element to issue an alarm and controls the feed valve to close the feed inlet. Throughout this process, no manual intervention is required, which helps improve the automation level of storage and the continuity of weighing data.

[0081] Furthermore, the control unit is electrically or communicatively connected to the height adjustment component 200. When the control unit detects uneven settlement of the storage body 400 based on the weight value transmitted by the weighing component 320 or the settlement amount transmitted by the settlement monitoring component 500, the control unit controls the extension length of the height adjustment component 210 corresponding to the settlement position of the storage cylinder 410 to change, so that the height adjustment component 210 is engaged in the corresponding slot 422 and drives the storage body 400 to move up and down, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the settlement of the storage body 400 and further improving the automation level of the storage device.

[0082] For example, the control unit is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).

[0083] Optionally, see Figure 1 The support frame 100 includes multiple support columns 120 and multiple support beams 130. The support columns 120 extend vertically, and the support beams 130 extend horizontally. The multiple support columns 120 can be arranged on the ground at intervals along the circumference of the storage body 400. Any two adjacent support columns 120 are connected by a support beam 130. A height adjustment component 200 is disposed on the top of the support column 120 or the support beam 130, and a weighing component 300 is disposed on the top of the support beam 130. This arrangement makes the support frame 100 a frame structure, improving the structural stability and overall rigidity of the support frame 100, and ensuring that the support frame 100 can stably support the storage body 400.

[0084] For example, see Figure 1 The height adjustment component 210 is bolted to the top of the support column 120, and the weighing section 311 is mounted to the top of the support beam 130 via the anti-overturning connector 110.

[0085] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The storage device also includes a conical discharge cylinder 600 disposed on the support 100 and located below the storage body 400. The large-diameter end of the conical discharge cylinder 600 is provided with an openable and closable connection port, which is connected to the storage body 400. The small-diameter end of the conical discharge cylinder 600 is provided with an openable and closable discharge port 610.

[0086] When the connection port is opened, the material stored in the storage body 400 can enter the inner cavity of the conical discharge cylinder 600 through the connection port under its own gravity; when the discharge port 610 is opened, the material temporarily stored in the conical discharge cylinder 600 can be discharged through the discharge port 610 under its own gravity, realizing the discharge of material from the storage body 400, which is convenient and quick to operate.

[0087] Example 2

[0088] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a sedimentation adjustment method for a storage device, applicable to the storage device of Embodiment 1, including the following steps:

[0089] S1. Switch the storage unit 400 from the weighing state to the adjustment state.

[0090] Specifically, during the weighing process, multiple connecting columns 421 are connected to the corresponding weighing sections 311 by bolts, the height adjustment component 210 disengages from the corresponding slot 422, the weighing component 320 measures the load value transmitted to the weighing platform 310 in real time, and transmits the measured load value to the control unit, and the settlement monitoring component 500 measures the settlement of the storage body 400 in real time, and transmits the measured settlement to the control unit.

[0091] Specifically, when the height of the storage body 400 needs to be adjusted, the vertical extension length of the height adjustment component 210 is first changed until the top of the height adjustment component 210 is engaged in the corresponding slot 422, thus completing the connection between the storage body 400 and the height adjustment component 200. Then, the bolts are removed from the connecting column 421 and the weighing section 311, transferring the weight of the storage body 400 to the height adjustment component 200, thus separating the storage body 400 from the weighing component 300. In this process, the storage body 400 is first connected to the height adjustment component 200, and then separated from the weighing component 300. This ensures that as the supporting force of the weighing component 300 on the storage body 400 gradually decreases, the height adjustment component 200 can support the storage body 400, guaranteeing the stability of the storage body 400 on the support 100 during state switching.

[0092] S2. Adjust the vertical extension length of the height adjustment component 200, and the height adjustment component 200 drives the storage body 400 to move at least part of it up and down.

[0093] Specifically, the position of the height adjustment component 210 to be adjusted is determined according to the settlement of the storage body 400. Then, the corresponding height adjustment component 210 is driven to extend, and the height adjustment component 210 drives the sunken part of the storage body 400 to move upward until the bottom of the storage body 400 becomes horizontal.

[0094] In an optional embodiment, the weighing assembly 300 includes a plurality of weighing elements 320 arranged circumferentially along the storage body 400, the weighing elements 320 being used to weigh at least a portion of the weight of the storage body 400 in a weighing state.

[0095] For example, when there are N weighing elements 320, the weight weighed by the weighing elements 320 is 1 / N of the weight of the storage body 400.

[0096] In this embodiment, before step S1, the following steps are included: determining whether the weight difference between any two weighing devices 320 is greater than a preset difference; if so, step S1 is executed; otherwise, the storage body 400 continues to be in the weighing state. When the bottom of the storage body 400 is in a horizontal state, the weights weighed by each weighing device 320 are the same; when the storage body 400 is tilted, the material inside the storage body 400 is also tilted, so that at least two weighing devices 320 will weigh different values.

[0097] For example, the preset difference is 0.004GH / L, where G is the sum of the weight of the storage body 400 and the weight of the stored material, H is the height of the storage cylinder 410 of the storage body 400, and L is the diameter of the storage cylinder 410 of the storage body 400.

[0098] Specifically, the storage device also includes an alarm that will sound an alarm when the difference between the weights measured by any two weighing devices 320 is greater than a preset difference.

[0099] In this embodiment, in step S2, the vertical extension length of the height adjustment component 200 is adjusted until the weight difference between any two weighing components 320 is not greater than a preset difference. At this time, the storage body 400 is in a horizontal state.

[0100] In another alternative embodiment, the storage device further includes a settlement monitoring element 500 disposed on the storage body 400, the settlement monitoring element 500 being configured to monitor the amount of settlement of the storage body 400.

[0101] In this embodiment, before step S1, the following steps are also included: determining whether the settlement amount monitored by the settlement monitoring device 500 is greater than the preset settlement amount. If yes, then step S1 is executed; if no, then the storage body 400 continues to be in the weighing state.

[0102] Specifically, multiple settlement monitoring devices 500 are arranged around the storage body 400. When the settlement amount monitored by any one of the settlement monitoring devices 500 is greater than the preset settlement amount, step S1 is executed.

[0103] For example, the preset settlement is 50 mm.

[0104] Specifically, the storage device also includes an alarm device that will sound an alarm when the settlement monitored by the settlement monitoring device 500 exceeds a preset settlement amount.

[0105] In this embodiment, in step S2, the vertical extension length of the height adjustment component 200 is adjusted until the settlement monitored by the settlement monitoring component 500 is not greater than the preset settlement amount. At this time, the storage body 400 is in a horizontal state.

[0106] In another optional embodiment, the weighing component 300 includes a plurality of weighing elements 320 arranged circumferentially along the storage body 400. The storage device also includes a settlement monitoring element 500 disposed on the storage body 400. When the weight difference between any two weighing elements 320 and the settlement amount monitored by the settlement monitoring element 500 are greater than the corresponding preset parameter, step S1 is executed.

[0107] Optionally, after step S2, the following step is also included: S3, switching the storage body 400 from the adjustment state to the weighing state so that the storage device can continue to store materials. After step S3, the weighing component 300 can restore the high-precision weighing effect without readjusting the weighing accuracy, ensuring the continuity of weighing data.

[0108] Specifically, first, the bolts are connected to the connecting column 421 and the weighing section 311 to complete the connection between the storage body 400 and the weighing component 300. Then, the vertical extension length of the height adjustment component 210 is changed until the top of the height adjustment component 210 disengages from the corresponding slot 422, transferring the weight of the storage body 400 to the weighing component 300, thus separating the storage body 400 from the height adjustment component 200. In this process, the storage body 400 is first connected to the weighing component 300, and then separated from the height adjustment component 200. This ensures that as the supporting force of the height adjustment component 200 on the storage body 400 gradually decreases, the weighing component 300 can support the storage body 400, guaranteeing the stability of the storage body 400 on the support 100 during state switching.

[0109] In some embodiments, the anti-tipping capability of the anti-tipping connector 110 is checked before changing the vertical extension length of the height adjustment member 210 to ensure that the weighing assembly 300 can reliably support the storage body 400 when it is solely supporting it.

[0110] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
