Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of logistics and warehousing management equipment technology, and more specifically to a warehouse intelligent scheduling system based on edge computing. Background Technology

[0002] In enterprises, warehouse management serves production and sales, acting as a window for material exchange between the company and the outside world in market competition. Warehousing plays a crucial role in the entire supply chain. Poor warehouse management results in a situation where, on one hand, there are tens of thousands of materials and hundreds of suppliers in a vast automated warehouse, while on the other hand, there are only a few warehouse staff with mediocre skills, and numerous but inapplicable and rarely used systems and processes. If accurate receiving, inventory control, and delivery cannot be guaranteed, it will lead to increased management costs, reduced work efficiency, and compromised service quality, severely impacting the company's competitiveness. In this context, the intelligent automated warehousing system described in this patent, widely used in hospitals, supermarkets, food, electronics, and industrial sectors, necessitates the development of an intelligent automated warehousing system capable of quickly, accurately, continuously, and in real-time monitoring of inventory and distribution, and intelligent inventory counting, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0003] The patent (application number: CN201720026012.0) discloses an intelligent warehouse scheduling device, which includes multiple multi-layered containers. Each layer of the containers is equipped with multiple storage compartments. A traction rail is set on the ground between the containers. A mother car is movably mounted on the traction rail. The mother car includes a car body that moves on the traction rail and a vertical plate set on the car body. A vertically set lifting rail is set on the vertical plate. A lifting plate is movably mounted on the lifting rail. An RFID tag is set on the traction rail corresponding to each storage compartment at the bottom of the container. A limit switch is set on the lifting rail for each layer of the container. A child car is also set on the lifting plate. The child car can move in and out of the storage compartment from the lifting plate. This utility model can more automatically and flexibly pick up and deliver goods by setting up child cars and mother cars. The child cars can freely enter and exit the space of the containers. The mother car guides them and uses RFID for marking and positioning, which is more accurate and realizes full automation and unmanned operation.

[0004] The patent and existing technologies have the following technical problems in practical use: In existing scheduling operations, in some special operating environments or the initial stage of a system, staff still need to use equipment such as forklifts for scheduling. When scheduling with forklifts, staff often need to adjust the lifting height of the forklift according to the height of the goods being stored. This method is very prone to damage to goods or equipment due to improper operation or human negligence. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problems by providing an intelligent warehouse scheduling system based on edge computing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solution: The edge computing-based intelligent warehouse scheduling system includes a storage rack, on one side of which a scheduling mechanism is provided; The storage rack is equipped with shelves inside, and at least five sets of shelves are symmetrically arranged. A fixing member is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shelf, and a rotating rod is rotatably installed inside the fixing member. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage rack. A mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shelf, and a magnet is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate. Two sets of magnets are symmetrically arranged. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on one side of the storage rack, and an electromagnet is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate. Two sets of electromagnets are symmetrically arranged. Two sets of magnets and electromagnets are symmetrically arranged. There is a certain distance between the storage rack and the shelf, which allows the shelf to rotate. The scheduling mechanism includes a feeding plate disposed on one side of the storage rack, which can move vertically up and down on the surface of the storage rack.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding plate, and two sets of mounting frames are symmetrically arranged, with a first electric roller rotatably installed between the mounting frames.

[0008] Furthermore, a second electric roller is provided on one side of the first electric roller, and a support frame is provided on one side of the second electric roller, the support frame being rotatably connected to the second electric roller.

[0009] Furthermore, a third electric roller is provided inside the support frame, and the first electric roller, the second electric roller, and the third electric roller are respectively connected by belt drive.

[0010] Furthermore, sliding grooves are provided on the opposite sides of the storage rack, and sliders are slidably installed inside the sliding grooves. The sliders are fixedly connected to the feeding plate, and a matching rod is rotatably installed on the top of the feeding plate. Several sets of matching rods are provided.

[0011] Furthermore, a threaded rod is rotatably mounted on one side of the storage rack, and a mating screw sleeve is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod. The mating screw sleeve is fixedly connected to a slider on one side.

[0012] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the side of the storage rack near the threaded rod, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod.

[0013] Furthermore, a rolling ball is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the support frame, and several sets of the rolling ball are provided.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the shelf is provided with an electric blocking block, and several sets of the electric blocking blocks are provided.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention automates scheduling and sorting, eliminating most manual operations in warehouse management. Workers only need to input instructions through the system, reducing tedious manual handling and height adjustments. This reduces labor intensity and improves worker efficiency. Electromagnetic force controls the tilt angle of the shelves, ensuring precise positioning and tight stacking of goods. This not only improves space utilization but also reduces the risk of goods falling or breaking due to improper storage, minimizing losses. Edge computing enables the system to analyze and optimize operations in real time, reducing human error. For example, common problems in traditional warehouse management, such as forklift collisions and falling goods, can be effectively avoided through automated and precise scheduling, thus improving operational safety.

[0016] 2. After the first electric roller of this invention is activated, the goods are transported from the unloading plate to the designated position via a belt system. This process is fully automated, reducing the need for manual intervention. Through the coordinated work of the electric roller and the belt system, the goods can be moved smoothly and quickly from one position to another, avoiding the hassle of manual handling. When the goods reach the belt above the third electric roller, they will accurately stop at the predetermined position, avoiding errors or omissions that may occur during manual sorting. The system ensures that each item is effectively transferred to the correct place and is ready for subsequent operations. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] A preferred embodiment of the intelligent warehouse scheduling system based on edge computing according to the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0021] Example 1, as Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a storage rack 1, and a scheduling mechanism 2 is provided on one side of the storage rack 1; The storage rack 1 is equipped with a shelf 3 inside. At least five sets of shelf 3 are symmetrically arranged. A fixing member 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shelf 3. A rotating rod 5 is rotatably installed inside the fixing member 4. The rotating rod 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage rack 1. An installation plate 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shelf 3. A magnet block 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation plate 6. Two sets of magnet blocks 7 are symmetrically arranged. A fixing plate 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the storage rack 1. An electromagnet 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate 8. Two sets of electromagnets 9 are symmetrically arranged. Two sets of magnet blocks 7 and electromagnets 9 are symmetrically arranged. There is a certain distance between the storage rack 1 and the shelf 3, which allows the shelf 3 to rotate. The scheduling mechanism 2 includes a feeding plate 201 disposed on one side of the storage rack 1, which can move vertically up and down on the surface of the storage rack 1. First, after the staff scans and enters the goods into the system, they are stored on the shelf 3 inside the storage rack 1. When the system receives a request to relocate the goods in the storage rack 1, the system controls the electromagnet 9 on the side away from the relocation mechanism 2 to start. The electromagnet 9 generates a magnetic force that repels the magnet 7 above it. This repulsive magnetic force pushes the magnet 7 upward, causing the shelf 3 to rotate between the storage racks 1 via the rotating rod 5. This tilts the shelf 3 towards the relocation mechanism 2, causing the goods to be sorted to slide down onto the unloading plate 201. The goods are transported to a fixed location via the dispatching mechanism 2. At this point, staff only need to use forklifts or other transportation devices to pick up and transport the goods at the fixed location without manually adjusting the forklift's forklift height. When the goods are stored on the storage rack 1, staff can control the electromagnet 9 on the side closest to the dispatching mechanism 2 to start and control the other side to close. At this time, the shelf 3 will tilt to both sides, so that the goods fit against the storage rack 1. By tilting the goods, it is ensured that the goods will not fall off the storage rack 1 due to vibration or other factors. The system's automated scheduling and sorting eliminates most manual operations in warehouse management. Staff only need to input instructions through the system, reducing tedious manual handling and height adjustments. This reduces labor intensity and improves staff efficiency. By controlling the tilt angle of the storage racks (3) using electromagnetic force, goods can be precisely positioned and tightly stacked. This not only improves space utilization but also reduces the risk of goods falling or breaking due to improper storage, minimizing losses. Edge computing enables the system to analyze and optimize operations in real time, reducing human error. For example, common problems in traditional warehouse management, such as forklift collisions and falling goods, can be effectively avoided through automated and precise scheduling, thus improving operational safety.

[0022] Example 2, as Figures 1-6 As shown, a mounting frame 202 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the feeding plate 201. Two sets of mounting frames 202 are symmetrically arranged. A first electric roller 203 is rotatably installed between the mounting frames 202. A second electric roller 204 is provided on one side of the first electric roller 203. A support frame 205 is provided on one side of the second electric roller 204. The support frame 205 is rotatably connected to the second electric roller 204. A third electric roller 206 is provided inside the support frame 205. The first electric roller 203, the second electric roller 204 and the third electric roller 206 are respectively connected by belt 207. When the goods move from the unloading plate 201 to the belt 207 connecting the first electric roller 203 and the second electric roller 204, the first electric roller 203 starts, and the goods are transported from the belt 207 to the belt 207 above the third electric roller 206. Then, the goods are dropped to a fixed location by the belt 207, and the staff only need to wait at that location with a forklift.

[0023] Example 3, as Figures 1-6 As shown, sliding grooves 10 are provided on both sides of the storage rack 1 facing away from each other. A slider 11 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 10. The slider 11 is fixedly connected to the feeding plate 201. A mating rod 12 is rotatably installed on the top of the feeding plate 201. Several sets of mating rods 12 are provided. A threaded rod 13 is rotatably installed on one side of the storage rack 1. A mating screw sleeve 14 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 13. The mating screw sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the slider 11 on one side. When the threaded rod 13 rotates, it is threadedly connected to the mating screw sleeve 14, thereby sliding the slider 11 inside the sliding groove 10, driving the unloading plate 201 to move up and down, and thus the position of the unloading plate 201 can be adjusted according to the specific position of the goods to be dispatched. After the first electric roller 203 is activated, the goods are conveyed from the unloading plate 201 to the designated position via the belt system 207. This process is fully automated, reducing the need for manual intervention. Through the coordinated work of the electric roller and the belt system 207, the goods can be moved smoothly and quickly from one position to another, avoiding the hassle of manual handling. When the goods reach the belt 207 above the third electric roller 206, they will accurately stop at the predetermined position, avoiding errors or omissions that may occur during manual sorting. The system ensures that every item is effectively transferred to the correct place and ready for subsequent operations.

[0024] Example 4, as Figures 1-5 As shown, a drive motor 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the storage rack 1 near the threaded rod 13. The output end of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 13. A rolling ball 16 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the support frame 205. Several sets of rolling balls 16 are provided. By using the rolling ball 16, when the scheduling mechanism 2 adjusts its position, the support frame 205 can be adjusted on the ground by rolling the ball 16.

[0025] Example 5, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, an electric blocking block 17 is provided on the top of the shelf 3, and several sets of electric blocking blocks 17 are provided. By setting the electric blocking block 17, the designated electric blocking block 17 can be opened when the goods are being dispatched, so that the goods can slide down and be unloaded by tilting the shelf 3.

[0026] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
