Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of archives management technology, and in particular to a visual intelligent archives storage device and management method. Background Technology

[0002] Although existing automatic layer-selection filing cabinets have introduced mechanical transmission, their motor control systems are usually designed in a decentralized manner, which occupies a large amount of internal space in the cabinet and is prone to mechanical impact when frequently starting and stopping, affecting the lifespan of the files and the stability of the equipment.

[0003] The storage devices currently in use mainly rely on robotic arms for three-axis movement and grasping, which takes up a lot of space and is not conducive to placing or quickly retrieving file folders inside the cabinet, resulting in a large file cabinet size. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above, the present invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a visual intelligent file storage device and management method.

[0005] This invention provides a visual intelligent file storage device and management method, specifically including: a filing cabinet, with an observation glass installed on the front side of the filing cabinet; storage compartments fixedly arranged inside the filing cabinet; comb plates fixedly arranged on the upper and lower sides of each storage compartment; a lifting slide slidably arranged on the rear side inside the filing cabinet, and a storage unit slidably arranged on the front side of the lifting slide, the storage unit moving left and right outside the lifting slide by a linear motor; the storage unit includes a main module and a sub-module, the upper and lower ends of the main module and the sub-module are fixedly connected by connecting plates, the main module and the sub-module... The gaps form a rounded corner channel; short control wheels are rotatably mounted on the upper and lower left sides of the main module, with the left end of the short control wheel located inside the rounded corner channel on the left side; a long control wheel is rotatably mounted on the rear side of the main module, with the rear end of the long control wheel located inside the rounded corner channel on the rear side; a drive motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the upper connecting plate, and the drive motor is connected to the top of the upper short control wheel and the long control wheel by a gear transmission; the lower long control wheel and short control wheel are connected by a gear set transmission; the long control wheel and short control wheel rotate in the same direction; two sets of vision sensors are fixedly mounted on the front side of the main module.

[0006] Optionally, the filing cabinet has an integrated entrance and exit on the left rear side, and a guardrail is fixedly installed on the front side of the entrance and exit, with a sliding groove structure at the bottom inside the guardrail; a touch screen is fixedly installed on the left front side of the filing cabinet.

[0007] Optionally, a winding wheel is rotatably installed on the upper rear side of the inside of the filing cabinet, above the storage compartment. A suspension line is wound around the outside of the winding wheel and fixedly connected to the top center of the lifting slide. A winding motor is fixedly installed on the upper rear side of the inside of the filing cabinet and is drivenly connected to the winding wheel. The winding motor and the drive motor are servo motors.

[0008] Optionally, the sub-module has a receiving groove on its front side, and two sets of electric cylinders A are fixedly installed in the receiving groove. A clamping plate A is fixedly installed at the front end of the electric cylinders A.

[0009] Optionally, a T-shaped groove is provided in the middle of the left side of the main module. A sliding frame that can move back and forth is slidably arranged inside the T-shaped groove. A spring rod is fixedly arranged on the left side of the sliding frame. A clamping plate B is slidably arranged outside the spring rod. The clamping plate B is attached to the clamping plate A by a spring outside the spring rod. Flat round rubber blocks are fixedly arranged at the front ends of adjacent front faces of the clamping plates A and B.

[0010] Optionally, an electric cylinder B is hinged between the middle of the T-slot and the right rear end of the sliding frame.

[0011] Optionally, the observation glass is PDLC smart dimming glass, and the filing cabinet is equipped with a main control unit electrically connected to the PDLC smart dimming glass. The main control unit is configured to: after receiving a file retrieval instruction, control the observation glass of the area corresponding to the storage compartment where the target file is located to switch to a transparent state, while controlling the observation glass of the non-target area to remain in a fogged state.

[0012] Optionally, the main control unit inside the filing cabinet is electrically connected to the touch screen, the winding motor, and the drive motor. The main control unit can analyze the location of the storage compartment where the target file is located according to the file retrieval command received by the touch screen, and drive the winding wheel to move the lifting slide to the target height. At the same time, it drives the storage unit to slide along the lifting slide to the corresponding position of the target storage compartment.

[0013] Optionally, a management method for a visual intelligent file storage device includes the following steps: 1) Place the file bag directly inside the protective panel and use the sliding groove at the bottom of the panel to position the file bag; you can manually push the file bag between clamp A and clamp B. 2) When the file bag is put in, the drive motor is started to drive the long control wheel and the short control wheel to rotate. The long control wheel and the short control wheel rotate in the same direction, and the file bag is pulled backward by friction, which then bends the file bag and puts it into the gap between the main module and the sub-module. 3) Moving the file folder: The rewind motor drives the rewind wheel to wind up and unwind the line. The height of the file folder can be adjusted, and the left and right positions of the storage unit can be adjusted directly. With the help of the vision sensor, the program analyzes and moves the storage unit to the working position, so that the storage unit moves to the target position. 4) Place the file bag, and directly rotate the drive motor in the opposite direction to drive the long control wheel and the short control wheel to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the file bag can be aligned and inserted between the upper and lower comb plates; Since the position of the short control wheel cannot completely separate the file bag from the gap between the main module and the sub-module, it is necessary to extend two sets of electric cylinders A and retract electric cylinder B at the same time, so that clamping plates A and B move forward synchronously and push the file bag. After the push is completed, clamp A is reset first, clamp A and clamp B are temporarily separated to release the control of the file bag, and then clamp B is reset. During this process, the friction is insufficient and the file bag will not be pulled back. If the vision sensor observes that a significant portion of the file bag is still exposed above the comb plate, it can automatically compensate by merging clamp A and clamp B together and pushing them forward, preventing the file bag from being clamped between clamp A and clamp B before it encounters resistance. 5) Take the file bag, move clamp A and clamp B forward simultaneously to clamp the file bag, then reset clamp A and clamp B, and rewind the file bag. Move the collector to the inlet and outlet, reverse the drive motor, and the file bag can be output.

[0014] The beneficial effects are as follows: By setting up a storage unit consisting of a main module, a sub-module, short control wheels, long control wheels, and a drive motor, the system provides bending and rolling storage and smooth transport functions for file bags. It abandons the bulky structure of traditional three-axis gripping robots, significantly reduces the space occupied by the storage and retrieval mechanism inside the filing cabinet, effectively increases the effective storage volume inside the cabinet, and enables the rapid and damage-free storage and retrieval of paper file bags, avoiding damage to the file bags during storage and retrieval.

[0015] By linking the PDLC smart dimming glass with the main control unit and using the matrix-arranged storage compartments, a local visualization guidance function for the target file area is provided. After receiving a file retrieval command, only the observation glass of the area corresponding to the storage compartment where the target file is located is switched to a transparent state, while the non-target area remains fogged and obscured. This not only achieves intuitive and rapid guidance of the file location, greatly improving the efficiency of file retrieval, but also effectively protects the storage privacy and security of non-target files.

[0016] By setting up interconnected electric cylinders A and B, clamping plates A and B, and combining them with real-time position verification by a vision sensor and a servo drive system, the system provides precise pushing of file folders, automatic position compensation, and anti-reverse-traffic storage and retrieval functions. The step-by-step reset design of the clamping plates avoids the problem of reversal during file storage and retrieval. Combined with real-time verification by the vision sensor, it realizes automatic compensation for files not being placed in the correct position. At the same time, the use of servo motor drive realizes smooth start and stop of the storage and retrieval process, avoiding mechanical impact damage to files and equipment, and significantly improving the stability and accuracy of file storage and retrieval.

The lower part of the guardrail 102 has a sliding groove structure. A touch screen 103 is fixedly installed on the left front side of the filing cabinet 1.

[0022] The filing cabinet 1 has a winding wheel 3 mounted on the upper rear side of the interior, above the storage compartment 2. A suspension line is wound around the outside of the winding wheel 3 and is fixedly connected to the top center of the lifting slide 5. A winding motor 4 is fixedly mounted on the upper rear side of the interior of the filing cabinet 1 and is connected to the winding wheel 3. The winding motor 4 and the drive motor 606 are servo motors.

[0023] The sub-module 602 has a receiving groove 6021 on its front side, and two sets of electric cylinders A7 are fixedly installed in the receiving groove 6021. The front end of the electric cylinders A7 is fixedly installed with a clamping plate A701.

[0024] The main module 601 has a T-shaped groove 6011 in the middle of its left side. A sliding frame 8 that can move back and forth is slidably arranged inside the T-shaped groove 6011. A spring rod 801 is fixedly arranged on the left side of the sliding frame 8. A clamping plate B802 is slidably arranged outside the spring rod 801.

[0025] An electric cylinder B9 is hinged between the middle of the T-shaped groove 6011 and the right rear end of the sliding frame 8.

[0026] The observation glass is made of PDLC smart dimming glass. The filing cabinet 1 is equipped with a main control unit that is electrically connected to the PDLC smart dimming glass. The main control unit is configured to: after receiving the file retrieval instruction, control the observation glass of the corresponding area of ​​the storage compartment 2 where the target file is located to switch to a transparent state, while controlling the observation glass of the non-target area to remain in a fogged state.

[0027] The main control unit inside the filing cabinet 1 is electrically connected to the touch screen 103, the winding motor 4, and the drive motor 606. The main control unit can analyze the location of the target file in the storage compartment 2 according to the file retrieval command received by the touch screen 103, and drive the winding wheel 3 to move the lifting slide 5 to the target height. At the same time, it drives the storage unit 6 to slide along the lifting slide 5 to the corresponding position of the target storage compartment 2.

[0028] One method for managing a visual intelligent file storage device includes the following steps: 1) Place the file bag directly inside the guardrail 102 and use the sliding groove at the bottom of the guardrail 102 to position the file bag; the file bag can be manually pushed between clamp A701 and clamp B802. 2) When the file bag is put in, the drive motor 606 is started to drive the long control wheel 605 and the short control wheel 604 to rotate. The long control wheel 605 and the short control wheel 604 rotate in the same direction, and the file bag is pulled backward by friction, thereby bending the file bag and putting it into the gap between the main module 601 and the sub-module 602. 3) Moving the file bag: The rewind motor 4 drives the rewind wheel 3 to rewind and unwind the line. The height of the file bag can be adjusted. The storage unit 6 can be moved directly to adjust its left and right position. With the help of the vision sensor 10, the program analyzes and moves the storage unit 6 to the working position, so that the storage unit 6 moves to the target position. 4) Place the file bag, and directly rotate the drive motor 606 in the opposite direction to drive the long control wheel 605 and the short control wheel 604 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the file bag can be aligned and inserted between the upper and lower comb plates 201. Since the position of the short control wheel 604 cannot completely separate the file bag from the gap between the main module 601 and the sub-module 602, it is necessary to extend the two sets of electric cylinders A7 and retract the electric cylinder B9 at the same time, so that the clamping plates A701 and B802 move forward synchronously and push the file bag. After the push is completed, first reset clamp A701, clamp A701 and clamp B802 are temporarily separated to release the control of the file bag, and then reset clamp B802. During this process, the friction is insufficient and the file bag will not be pulled back. If the vision sensor 10 observes that a large portion of the file bag is still exposed above the comb plate 201, it can automatically compensate by merging the clamps A701 and B802 and pushing them forward, so that the file bag will not be clamped between the clamps A701 and B802 before it encounters resistance. 5) Take the file bag, move clamp A701 and clamp B802 forward simultaneously to clamp the file bag, then reset clamp A701 and clamp B802, and rewind the file bag. Move the storage device 6 to the inlet / outlet 101, reverse the drive motor 606, and the file bag can be output.

[0029] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the main control unit inside the filing cabinet 1 is electrically connected to the PDLC smart dimming glass, the touch screen 103, the winding motor 4, and the drive motor 606. It can control the dimming glass to switch states and drive the lifting slide 5 and the storage unit 6 to move according to the retrieval command. The management method is executed in five steps: placement, storage, movement, placement, and bag retrieval. It is combined with the vision sensor 10 to achieve accurate positioning and compensation push.

[0030] Example 3: Based on Example 1, infrared ranging sensors are added to the upper and lower rear sides of the inside of the filing cabinet 1 to sense the real-time position of the lifting slide 5; displacement sensors are added to the left and right sides of the inside of the filing cabinet 1 to sense the left and right movement position of the storage unit 6. Both are electrically connected to the main control unit to realize closed-loop control of the position of the lifting slide 5 and the storage unit 6, improve positioning accuracy, and avoid deviation and collision during movement.
