Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ammunition distribution management, specifically an information-based ammunition distribution management device and system based on feedback confirmation. Background Technology
[0002] Standardized and information-based management of ammunition distribution is a crucial link in modern material support systems, especially in scenarios such as training, exercises, and the allocation of combat supplies, which require rapid, accurate, and traceable quantitative dispensing and distribution of ammunition. Traditional ammunition distribution operations typically rely on manual counting and recording, or supplemented by simple measuring containers. This method is not only inefficient, but also prone to counting errors due to fatigue or negligence in continuous, batch dispensing tasks, resulting in discrepancies between the actual and planned quantities. Furthermore, the lack of real-time and reliable data recording and feedback mechanisms makes it difficult to effectively verify and trace the dispensing results, posing challenges to subsequent inventory management, accountability, and task review.
[0003] With technological advancements, some semi-automated distribution aids have emerged, such as conveyor belts or vibratory feeders for ammunition transport, coupled with photoelectric sensors for counting. However, these devices are primarily designed for continuous counting of single-size bulk ammunition, unable to simultaneously accommodate the distribution needs of multiple commonly used quantitative specifications (such as 5-round or 10-round packs). Furthermore, their complex structure and high cost make widespread deployment at the grassroots level difficult. More importantly, existing solutions often focus on automating the distribution process itself, neglecting crucial data verification and confirmation steps in human-machine collaboration. This disconnect between the distribution process and information management creates a management gap—"actions without a closed loop"—failing to meet the current stringent requirements for information-based and traceable ammunition circulation.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple, intuitive ammunition distribution solution that can be deeply integrated with information management processes. This solution should be able to support efficient and accurate dispensing of various standard quantitative specifications and naturally embed data verification and confirmation mechanisms during the operation process to achieve a complete closed loop from physical dispensing to data archiving, so as to solve the core defects of existing technologies that make it difficult to achieve both efficiency and accuracy and that operation and management are disconnected. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an information-based ammunition distribution management device based on feedback confirmation, thereby solving the problem of low efficiency in ammunition distribution operations in the prior art.
[0006] An ammunition distribution and management device, comprising:
[0007] An ammunition distribution box, wherein the ammunition distribution box is provided with multiple parallel ammunition distribution guide slots, each guide slot being used to hold and guide one round of ammunition;
[0008] Multiple distribution boxes are slidably embedded in both sides of the ammunition distribution box;
[0009] The push plate, with its limiting sliding engagement, is embedded in the ammunition distribution guide slots, and its width covers all parallel ammunition distribution guide slots. The push plate is used to push a row of ammunition in all ammunition distribution guide slots simultaneously through a single manual operation, so that the row of ammunition is completely removed from the guide slots and falls into the corresponding multiple distribution boxes below.
[0010] Preferably, each of the distribution boxes located on one side of the ammunition distribution box is configured to hold 10 rounds of ammunition, and each of the distribution boxes located on the other side of the ammunition distribution box is configured to hold 5 rounds of ammunition.
[0011] Preferably, each distribution box on one side corresponds vertically to two sets of consecutive ammunition distribution guide slots for receiving a total of 10 rounds of ammunition pushed in twice from the two sets of ammunition distribution guide slots.
[0012] Preferably, each distribution box on the other side corresponds vertically to a set of ammunition distribution guide slots for receiving a total of 5 rounds of ammunition pushed in twice from the set of ammunition distribution guide slots.
[0013] Preferably, the installation positions of each distribution box are divided into multiple vertical rows; when the distribution box in the top row is full of ammunition, it is taken out, and the distribution operation is performed again, and the ammunition will fall into the second row of distribution boxes located directly below it.
[0014] A method for ammunition distribution management, applied to an ammunition distribution management device as described above, includes the following steps:
[0015] S1. Mission Planning and Preparation: Based on mission requirements, determine the total amount of ammunition to be distributed and the number of different sized distribution boxes; create a mission on the independent recording terminal via the numeric keypad or the touch interface of the independent recording terminal, and manually enter the planned "total amount to be submitted" for this mission.
[0016] S2. Continuous row-based quantitative dispensing operation:
[0017] S21. Install the empty distribution boxes into the corresponding installation positions in the distribution area of the ammunition distribution box according to the required specifications;
[0018] S22. Load a row of ammunition into the ammunition dispensing guide slot;
[0019] S23. Manually operate the push plate to push the entire row of ammunition into the corresponding distribution box that has been installed in the top row below;
[0020] S24. Repeat steps S22 and S23 until the current topmost distribution box reaches its rated capacity;
[0021] S25. Remove the top row of distribution boxes that is already full, so that the next row of distribution boxes is in the position to be filled. Repeat steps S22 to S24 to fill each row of distribution boxes in turn until all sizes and quantities are filled.
[0022] S3. Result Verification and Confirmation: After all the dispensing operations are completed, count the number of dispensing boxes of each specification that have been filled, and calculate the "actual total quantity" according to the rated capacity of each specification. Manually enter the quantity into the independent recording terminal using the numeric keypad. Compare the "submitted total quantity" with the "actual total quantity" on the interface of the independent recording terminal. After manual verification, electronic confirmation is performed to complete the local recording of this task.
[0023] S4. Data Synchronization and Reporting: Through the wireless communication module, the complete data packet containing "total submitted amount", "total actual completed amount" and task confirmation information recorded in the independent recording terminal is uploaded to the remote management backend to complete the data synchronization and archiving.
[0024] An ammunition distribution management system, comprising:
[0025] Such as the ammunition distribution and management equipment mentioned above;
[0026] An independent recording terminal, set separately from the ammunition distribution and management equipment, is used to provide a human-machine interface, receive input, and store data;
[0027] The wireless communication module is communicatively connected to the independent recording terminal and is used to establish a data transmission link between the independent recording terminal and the remote management backend.
[0028] The independent recording terminal and the wireless communication module are configured to perform the steps of the ammunition distribution management method described above.
[0029] Preferably, the independent recording terminal is a tablet computer or mobile data terminal, which is connected to an external numeric keypad via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or a data cable.
[0030] Preferably, the independent recording terminal runs management software, and the interface of the management software is configured with input fields linked to the numeric keypad, for receiving the input of "total submitted amount" and "total actually completed amount" and displaying the data comparison results.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0032] Through the coordinated design of whole-row pushing and zoned quantitative distribution, the efficiency and accuracy of ammunition distribution are improved. The parallel guide groove and wide push plate are used to realize the one-time whole-row distribution of ammunition. Combined with the different capacity distribution boxes on both sides, it can support multiple standard specifications of dispensing tasks at the same time. This not only simplifies the operation process, but also ensures the accuracy and consistency of the dispensing quantity in a single action.
[0033] By introducing standardized operating procedures and information verification and feedback mechanisms, the distribution process has been standardized and data is traceable. Based on the operating method that combines manual operation and digital recording, the comparison and confirmation steps between the plan and the actual data are set in key links, which effectively eliminates human error. Through the remote data synchronization function, a closed loop of the whole chain from on-site operation to back-end management has been built, which significantly enhances the controllability and reliability of the operation process.
[0034] By constructing an integrated hardware and software management system, the information-based and intelligent upgrade of ammunition distribution operations has been achieved. The system organically combines mechanical distribution equipment, independent recording terminals, and wireless communication modules, providing an intuitive and convenient human-machine interface. It supports data collection, verification, and reporting throughout the entire task cycle, which not only reduces the recording burden on operators but also improves overall management efficiency, forming a modern ammunition management solution with high efficiency, collaboration, and data closure.

[0042] 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 some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown:
[0044] Example 1: This invention provides an ammunition distribution and management device, comprising:
[0045] Ammunition distribution box 1, with multiple parallel ammunition distribution guide slots 2 inside, each guide slot is used to hold and guide one round of ammunition;
[0046] Multiple distribution boxes 4 are respectively slidably embedded on both sides of the ammunition distribution box 1;
[0047] The push plate 3 is limited and slidably embedded in the ammunition distribution guide groove 2, and its width covers all parallel ammunition distribution guide grooves 2. The push plate 3 is used to push a row of ammunition in all ammunition distribution guide grooves 2 simultaneously through a single manual operation, so that the row of ammunition is completely removed from the guide groove and falls into the corresponding multiple distribution boxes 4 below.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the push plate 3 is provided with an arc block that matches the ammunition dispensing guide groove 2, so that the push plate 3 can smoothly push the ammunition from the ammunition dispensing guide groove 2 into the dispensing box 4.
[0049] Furthermore, the push plate 3 is also fixedly connected to both ends with limiting protrusions that penetrate the ammunition distribution box 1, which are used to prevent the push plate 3 from detaching from the ammunition distribution box 1.
[0050] As can be seen from the above, the present invention can guide single ammunition in an orderly manner through multiple parallel ammunition distribution guide slots 2 set in the ammunition distribution box 1. With the push plate 3 whose width covers all guide slots, the operator can push the entire row of ammunition at the same time with a single manual operation, so that the whole row of ammunition is separated from the guide slot and falls into the corresponding distribution box 4 below. This process significantly improves the speed and consistency of the distribution operation.
[0051] The distribution boxes 4 are slidably embedded on both sides of the ammunition distribution box 1, which not only facilitates installation and retrieval, but also allows the ammunition to be classified and accommodated according to preset specifications, further ensuring the accuracy of the distribution quantity.
[0052] Example 2: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that it also includes a set of distribution boxes 4 on one side of the ammunition distribution box 1, each of which is configured to hold 10 rounds of ammunition, and a set of distribution boxes 4 on the other side of the ammunition distribution box 1, each of which is configured to hold 5 rounds of ammunition.
[0053] Specifically, each distribution box 4 on one side corresponds vertically to two sets of consecutive ammunition distribution guide slots 2, and is used to receive a total of 10 rounds of ammunition pushed in twice from the two sets of ammunition distribution guide slots 2.
[0054] Specifically, each distribution box 4 on the other side corresponds vertically to a set of ammunition distribution guide slots 2, and is used to receive a total of 5 rounds of ammunition pushed in twice from the set of ammunition distribution guide slots 2.
[0055] Specifically, the installation positions of each distribution box 4 are divided into multiple vertical rows; when the distribution box 4 in the top row is full of ammunition, it is taken out, and the distribution operation is performed again, and the ammunition will fall into the second row of distribution boxes 4 located directly below it.
[0056] As can be seen from the above, the present invention configures distribution boxes 4 of different capacities on both sides of the ammunition distribution box 1. Each distribution box 4 on one side is designed to hold 10 rounds of ammunition, and each distribution box 4 on the other side holds 5 rounds of ammunition. This allows the device to adapt to two commonly used ammunition packaging specifications at the same time, meeting diverse mission requirements.
[0057] In practice, one side of the distribution box 4 is perpendicularly aligned with two sets of continuous ammunition distribution guide slots 2, and 10 rounds are loaded in one push; the other side of the distribution box 4 is aligned with one set of ammunition distribution guide slots 2, and 5 rounds are loaded in one push. This design ensures the accuracy and orderliness of the loading process for each specification.
[0058] In addition, the distribution box 4 is divided into multiple vertical rows. When the top row of distribution boxes 4 is full, it can be removed, and subsequent ammunition will automatically fall into the second row of distribution boxes 4 directly below, realizing continuous dispensing operations for different segments, which greatly improves the efficiency of batch operations and the smoothness of operation.
[0059] Example 3: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that it also includes, for example... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown: A method for ammunition distribution management, applied to the ammunition distribution management equipment as described above, includes the following steps:
[0060] S1. Mission Planning and Preparation: Based on mission requirements, determine the total amount of ammunition to be distributed and the number of different sized distribution boxes; create a mission on the independent recording terminal using the numeric keypad or the touch interface of the independent recording terminal, and manually enter the planned "total amount to be submitted" for this mission.
[0061] S2. Continuous row-based quantitative dispensing operation:
[0062] S21. According to the required specifications, install the empty distribution box 4 into the corresponding installation positions in the distribution area of the ammunition distribution box 1;
[0063] S22. Load a row of ammunition into the ammunition dispensing guide slot 2;
[0064] S23. Manually operate the push plate 3 to push the entire row of ammunition into the corresponding distribution box 4 that has been installed in the top row below;
[0065] S24. Repeat steps S22 and S23 until the current topmost distribution box 4 reaches its rated capacity;
[0066] S25. Remove the top row of distribution boxes 4 that has been filled, so that the next row of distribution boxes 4 is in the position to be filled. Repeat steps S22 to S24 to fill each row of distribution boxes 4 in turn until all specifications and quantities are filled.
[0067] S3. Result Verification and Confirmation: After all the dispensing operations are completed, count the number of full dispensing boxes of each specification and calculate the "actual total quantity" according to the rated capacity of each specification. Manually enter this quantity into the independent recording terminal using the numeric keypad. Compare the "submitted total quantity" with the "actual total quantity" on the interface of the independent recording terminal. After manual verification, make electronic confirmation and complete the local recording of this task.
[0068] S4. Data Synchronization and Reporting: Through the wireless communication module, the complete data packet containing the "total amount submitted", "total amount actually completed" and task confirmation information recorded in the independent recording terminal is uploaded to the remote management backend to complete the data synchronization and archiving.
[0069] As can be seen from the above, the operator enters the plan "total amount" through the numeric keypad or independent recording terminal, and then packs it in rows through the push plate 3 according to the procedure, and uses the multi-row design of the distribution box 4 to achieve continuous operation;
[0070] After the operation was completed, the number of each type of distribution box 4 was counted manually and the "actual total quantity completed" was calculated. The results were then manually checked and electronically confirmed on an independent recording terminal to ensure the consistency and traceability of the on-site operation quantity with the planned quantity.
[0071] Finally, the complete data packet containing the "total amount submitted", "total amount actually completed" and confirmation information is uploaded to the remote management backend through the wireless communication module, realizing real-time synchronization and information archiving of operation data, thus forming a closed-loop management and effectively improving the standardization level and management efficiency of ammunition distribution operations.
[0072] Example 4: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that it also includes an ammunition distribution management system, comprising:
[0073] Such as the ammunition distribution and management equipment mentioned above;
[0074] An independent recording terminal, set up separately from the ammunition distribution and management equipment, is used to provide a human-machine interface, receive input, and store data;
[0075] The wireless communication module communicates with the independent recording terminal and is used to establish a data transmission link between the independent recording terminal and the remote management backend.
[0076] The independent recording terminal and wireless communication module are configured to perform the steps of the ammunition distribution management method described above.
[0077] Specifically, the independent recording terminal is a tablet computer or mobile data terminal, which is connected to an external numeric keypad via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or data cable;
[0078] By using general commercial hardware such as tablet computers, the system's specialization costs and maintenance difficulties are reduced; the introduction of an external physical numeric keypad specifically solves the problems of inconvenience and error-prone touch screen input in complex lighting or environments such as the field and warehouse, improving the reliability and speed of data entry.
[0079] Specifically, the independent recording terminal runs management software. The interface of the management software is configured with input fields linked to the numeric keypad, which are used to receive the input of "total submitted amount" and "total actually completed amount" and display the data comparison results.
[0080] This dedicated software serves as the "nerve center" connecting hardware operation and data management. Its linkage design with the numeric keypad enables an efficient "press and display" input experience; while the comparison result highlighting (such as highlighting and color prompts) designed specifically for verification greatly guides the operator's attention, reduces the cognitive load of the verification process, and makes "feedback confirmation" more intuitive and less likely to be missed.
[0081] As can be seen from the above, this system uses ammunition distribution management equipment as the execution terminal, combined with independent recording terminals and wireless communication modules, to achieve information-based control over the entire distribution process. The independent recording terminal, such as a tablet computer, allows for convenient input of "total submitted" and "total actually completed" via an external numeric keypad. Its running management software can display data comparison results in real time, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of on-site verification.
[0082] A stable link is established with the remote management backend through the wireless communication module, enabling the complete data packet of each operation to be uploaded in real time, achieving seamless data archiving and traceable management from the field to the backend; the linkage design of the independent recording terminal and the digital keyboard further optimizes the efficiency of human-computer interaction, allowing operators to smoothly complete information recording and confirmation while operating the push plate 3 for dispensing.
[0083] The overall system organically integrates the physical packaging of the distribution box 4, the digital verification of the independent recording terminal, and the data synchronization function of the wireless communication module, forming a set of ammunition distribution management solutions with standardized operation, rigorous verification, and closed-loop data, which significantly improves the standardization level of the operation process and management efficiency.
