Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of inventory counting equipment technology, specifically to an inventory counting device for warehouse management. Background Technology

[0002] In the machinery manufacturing industry, spare parts warehouses are a core link in ensuring production continuity. The accuracy of their inventory directly impacts the stable operation of the machining process and the precision of spare parts replenishment. To avoid production stoppages due to inventory shortages or capital tied up in excessive inventory, companies need to regularly conduct inventory checks on various spare parts such as bearings, bolts, and steel balls in the warehouse. This ensures accurate real-time inventory levels, verifies consistency between records and physical stock, and provides data support for subsequent procurement and replenishment. With the widespread adoption of smart manufacturing technologies, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has become the mainstream inventory management method. By attaching RFID tags to larger, regularly shaped spare parts, staff can quickly scan and input information using reading and writing devices. This enables real-time synchronization of inventory data with the warehouse management system, significantly improving inventory efficiency and data accuracy, and effectively replacing the cumbersome traditional manual record-keeping method.

[0003] However, existing RFID technology struggles to adapt to the unique physical properties of non-standard bearing steel balls commonly found in warehouses, resulting in significant bottlenecks in the inventory counting process. Non-standard bearing steel balls are mostly millimeter-sized spherical structures. On one hand, their small size, curved surface, and lack of a fixed plane make it impossible to stably attach RFID tags, rendering automated identification technology completely ineffective. On the other hand, the slight size differences between different specifications of non-standard steel balls make them difficult to distinguish accurately with the naked eye. Currently, inventory counting of these steel balls still relies on manual sorting and counting: workers must spend long hours hunched over, sorting and counting each ball individually, which is not only labor-intensive but also prone to errors such as omissions and overcounts, leading to distorted inventory data. More importantly, if non-standard steel balls of different sizes are mixed in storage, it is difficult to quickly identify differences during manual sorting. Misjudged inventory data directly leads to deviations in subsequent procurement and replenishment. This can range from mismatched steel balls flowing into the processing stage, causing equipment malfunctions, to production line shutdowns due to shortages of key specifications, resulting in economic losses for the company. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a warehouse management inventory counting device to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Working Principle: During warehouse inventory checks, when workers are counting non-standard bearing balls, they first adjust the separation mechanism. Before counting the bearing balls, workers remove the support plate from the feed cylinder. Then, they replace the support plate with one corresponding to the specifications of the bearing balls being counted, ensuring the strip separation grooves match the specifications of the bearing balls to be counted. Next, workers rotate the adjustment plate on the perforated plate to ensure the perforation specifications and the openings on the adjustment plate match the specifications of the bearing balls to be counted. After these operations are completed, workers reinsert the adjusted support plate into the feed cylinder. Then, workers load the spare parts... The ball bearing holder on the shelf is picked up and tilted, allowing the balls to enter the feed cylinder from the top center. As the balls enter, those bouncing off the strip separation groove are blocked by a rubber diaphragm. The balls then undergo initial screening and separation through the strip separation groove on the support plate, separating larger mixed balls onto the surface of the support plate. After initial separation, the balls fall onto a rotating adjusting plate, where they are further separated through openings created by the misalignment of the adjusting plate and the perforated plate. After a second sorting process, bearing balls meeting specifications enter the barrel through openings created by the alternating perforations of the perforated plate and the rotating adjustment plate. During this process, balls not meeting specifications are separated onto the support plate and the rotating adjustment plate, thus completing the initial adjustment and separation of non-standard bearing balls. Next, the distribution mechanism is activated, and the bearing balls processed by the adjustment and separation mechanism fall onto the distribution seats inside the barrel. Once a certain number of bearing balls have accumulated on the distribution seats, the operator manually rotates the magnetic ring seat on the barrel. This rotation, through magnetic attraction, simultaneously drives the magnetic end seats on the crossbar to move in tandem. As the magnetic end seat rotates, it simultaneously drives the cross on the distribution seat to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the cross on the distribution seat, the bearing steel balls accumulated on the surface of the distribution seat are swept into the various dispersion holes on the distribution seat. Then, the bearing steel balls that have entered the dispersion holes are dispersed into the various vertical channels and inclined channels in the distribution seat. The bearing steel balls that have entered the inclined channels are guided by their internal cavity channels into the vertical channels at various positions in the distribution seat. Thus, the bearing steel balls at the top of the distribution seat are finally dispersed into the vertical channels, that is, near the inner wall of the barrel, which facilitates the subsequent automatic inventory processing. This completes the guiding and distribution process of the bearing steel balls.Afterwards, the automatic inventory mechanism is activated. The bearing balls, after being processed by the distribution mechanism, are distributed on the upper part of the strip seat. As the bearing balls fall from the vertical track into the strip seat, they are first limited by a limiting plate on the strip seat to prevent misalignment during their descent. Then, as the bearing balls fall into the strip seat, they actuate a rotating paddle inside the strip seat, causing it to rotate synchronously. Simultaneously, the rotating paddle drives a rotating rod on it to rotate synchronously. The rotating rod, in turn, drives a multi-faceted prism seat and a torsion spring on it. The multifaceted seat rotates, and during this rotation, the counting labels on it change synchronously with the number of bearing balls passing through. Simultaneously, the torsion spring on the rotating rod tightens. Then, as the bearing balls fall from the strip seat, they land on the inclined slide. As the number of bearing balls in the strip seat increases, the weight of the bearing balls on the inclined slide causes them to gradually compress the support spring at the bottom. After all the balls in the distribution seat have been discharged, the staff checks the counting labels on the multifaceted seat through a transparent protective cover and identifies each position using a label. The staff then counts the numbers on each multifaceted seat, completing the automatic inventory of the bearing balls. Finally, the reset collection mechanism is activated. After the staff has counted the data on all the counting labels, they manually rotate the extension plate. The extension plate rotates synchronously, causing the outer sleeve on it to rotate. The outer sleeve, driven by the rotation, simultaneously rotates the adjusting seat inside the tank. The adjusting seat, while rotating, aligns the discharge groove with the strip seat. Once aligned, the bearing balls, originally limited by the adjusting seat, enter the adjusting seat under the influence of the inclined surface on the inclined slide. The bearing balls then enter the adjusting seat and, guided by the bottom guide slope, flow into the collection box. After all the bearing balls in the adjusting seat have been collected, the operator resets the adjusting seat using the extension plate. The collection box at the bottom of the tank is then rotated and removed, and the collected bearing balls are returned to their original placement box on the parts shelf. This completes the collection process of the bearing balls after resetting.

[0016] This invention provides a goods inventory counting device for warehouse management. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention, by adding and setting an adjustable separation mechanism, allows for flexible adaptation to different specifications of non-standard bearing steel balls before inventorying them in the parts warehouse. Workers can adjust the opening size by replacing the support plate with the corresponding strip-shaped separation groove and rotating the adjustment plate, without replacing the entire set of equipment. This highly adaptable mechanism meets the separation needs of various non-standard steel balls. Furthermore, the rubber diaphragm inside the feed cylinder prevents steel balls from rebounding during tilting, avoiding them from scattering outside the equipment. The steel balls undergo preliminary screening via the strip-shaped separation groove and further sorting via the misaligned opening of the perforated plate and adjustment plate. This dual separation effectively removes non-standard steel balls, preventing mixed-specification steel balls from entering subsequent stages and laying the foundation for accurate inventory counting.

[0017] 2. By adding and setting a guiding distribution mechanism, before inventorying non-standard bearing steel balls in the parts warehouse, the staff only needs to manually rotate the magnetic ring seat outside the barrel. With the help of the principle of opposite magnetic attraction, the cross on the distribution seat can be rotated. The cross can sweep the accumulated steel balls into the dispersion hole. There is no need for a complicated electric structure, which reduces the difficulty of operation. Secondly, it can achieve uniform distribution of steel balls. The steel balls in the dispersion hole can be guided to different vertical channels through the inclined channel, and finally concentrated near the inner wall of the barrel. This precisely corresponds to the strip seat of the subsequent automatic inventory mechanism, avoiding local accumulation of steel balls that may cause inventory jams, ensuring a smooth inventory process and improving overall inventory efficiency.

[0018] 3. By adding and setting an automatic inventory mechanism, this invention reduces manual labor intensity when inventorying non-standard bearing steel balls in the parts warehouse. During the steel ball's descent, the mechanism automatically rotates the rotating plate, causing the multi-faceted prism seat to rotate. The counting label changes synchronously with the number of steel balls, eliminating the need for staff to count each ball individually. It also ensures counting accuracy. The limiting plate on the strip seat prevents steel balls from being misaligned during descent, avoiding omissions due to steel ball position deviations. At the same time, the transparent protective cover allows staff to clearly view the counting labels at each position, and the inclined slide can temporarily store steel balls, preventing them from becoming disordered during inventory and providing a clear and accurate basis for subsequent data statistics.

[0019] 4. By adding and setting a reset collection mechanism, this invention enables efficient collection of non-standard bearing steel balls after inventorying them in the parts warehouse. Workers can rotate the extension plate to rotate the adjusting seat, aligning the discharge slot with the strip seat. The steel balls quickly enter the collection box with the help of the inclined surface of the inclined slide and the guiding inclined surface of the adjusting seat. There is no residue during the collection process, eliminating the need for manual cleaning of the steel balls in the strip seat. It also facilitates the return of the steel balls to their original positions. The collection box is detachable, allowing workers to directly place the steel balls back into their original shelf storage box after removal. The adjusting seat can be reset for future use, preventing secondary mixing of steel balls during transfer, ensuring standardized storage of steel balls, and not affecting subsequent processing and use.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions in 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.

[0023] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3This invention provides a cargo inventory device for warehouse management, including a barrel 1, which serves as the basic component of the overall device and is used to assemble and support various mechanisms and their subordinate structural components; the bottom edge of the barrel 1 has a plurality of feet 3 arranged in a circular array, which support and separate the bottom of the barrel 1 from the ground. Please see the appendix Figure 4 The adjusting separation mechanism is located at the top of the barrel 1 and is used to separate non-standard bearing steel balls of different sizes and to adjust the separation specifications of the device during use. The adjusting separation mechanism includes a feed cylinder 7. The feed cylinder 7 is located at the top center of the barrel 1, and the bottom of the feed cylinder 7 is connected to the interior of the barrel 1. Multiple rubber diaphragms 6 are arranged in a circular array near the edge of the top of the inner wall of the feed cylinder 7. The rubber diaphragms 6 are all arranged in a fan shape. A support plate 21 is located at the inner center of the feed cylinder 7. Multiple strip-shaped separation grooves 17 are arranged in a circular array on the support plate 21.

[0024] When the separation mechanism is started, before inventorying the bearing balls, the operator first removes the support plate 21 from the feed cylinder 7. Then, the operator replaces the support plate 21 with the one corresponding to the specifications of the bearing balls to be inventoried, so that the strip separation groove 17 on it meets the separation specifications of the subsequent bearing balls. After that, the operator rotates the rotating adjustment plate 20 on the perforated plate 19 so that the specifications of the openings on the perforated plate 19 and the rotating adjustment plate 20 meet the specifications of the subsequent bearing balls to be inventoried. After the above operations are completed, the operator puts the adjusted support plate 21 back into the feed cylinder 7.

[0025] Afterwards, the staff picked up the ball bearing placement box from the parts shelf and tilted the box, so that the ball bearings inside could enter the feed cylinder 7 from the top center. When the tilted ball bearings entered the feed cylinder 7, the ball bearings that bounced on the strip separation groove 17 were blocked by the rubber diaphragm 6. The ball bearings that entered the feed cylinder 7 were then preliminarily separated by the strip separation groove 17 on the support plate 21, thereby preliminarily separating some large mixed balls on the surface of the support plate 21.

[0026] The adjusting separation mechanism also includes a connecting column 18. The connecting column 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the support plate 21. The bottom end of the connecting column 18 is fixedly connected to an opening plate 19, and the edge of the opening plate 19 is in contact with the edge of the feed cylinder 7. The top of the opening plate 19 is rotatably connected to a rotating adjusting plate 20. The opening on the rotating adjusting plate 20 is not the same as the opening on the opening plate 19 and is misaligned.

[0027] After initial separation by the support plate 21, the bearing balls fall onto the rotating adjustment plate 20. They are then further sorted through the openings created by the misalignment of the rotating adjustment plate 20 and the perforated plate 19. Bearing balls that meet the specifications then enter the interior of the barrel 1 through the openings created by the interlacing of the perforated plate 19 and the rotating adjustment plate 20. During this process, non-standard bearing balls are separated onto the support plate 21 and the rotating adjustment plate 20, thus completing the initial adjustment and separation of non-standard bearing balls.

[0028] Please see the appendix Figure 5 - Appendix Figure 6 A guiding and distributing mechanism is located on the upper inner side of the barrel 1, and is used to guide and evenly distribute the bearing steel balls after they have been processed by the adjusting and separating mechanism. The guiding distribution mechanism includes a distribution seat 12. The distribution seat 12 is provided on the upper inner side of the barrel body 1. A cross 13 is rotatably connected to the top center of the distribution seat 12. Magnetic end seats 15 are provided on the upper part of each of the four ends of the cross 13. A magnetic ring seat 5 is rotatably connected to the upper outer wall of the barrel body 1. The magnetic ring seat 5 and the magnetic end seats 15 are set with opposite magnetic properties.

[0029] When the distribution mechanism is started, the bearing steel balls, after being processed by the adjustment and separation mechanism, fall onto the distribution seat 12 inside the barrel 1. Then, when a certain number of bearing steel balls accumulate on the distribution seat 12, the operator manually rotates the magnetic ring seat 5 on the barrel 1, causing the magnetic ring seat 5 to rotate on the barrel 1. As the magnetic ring seat 5 rotates, it simultaneously drives the magnetic end seat 15 on the cross 13 to rotate synchronously through the magnetic attraction effect. As the magnetic end seat 15 rotates, it simultaneously drives the cross 13 on the distribution seat 12 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the cross 13 on the distribution seat 12, the bearing steel balls accumulated on the surface of the distribution seat 12 are swept and sent into the various dispersion holes 14 on the distribution seat 12.

[0030] The guiding distribution mechanism also includes dispersion holes 14. The top circumferential array of the distribution seat 12 has multiple sets of dispersion holes 14. The inner circumferential array of the distribution seat 12 has multiple sets of inclined channels 23. The bait cutting inclined channels 23 are distributed and communicate with the interior of the corresponding dispersion holes 14. The inner circumferential array of the distribution seat 12 near the edge has multiple vertical channels 22. The top of the vertical channel 22 communicates with the interior of the corresponding dispersion hole 14. The interior of the vertical channel 22 is also synchronously connected with the interior of the corresponding set of inclined channels 23.

[0031] Then, the bearing steel balls that enter the dispersion hole 14 are dispersed into the vertical channels 22 and inclined channels 23 in the distribution seat 12. The bearing steel balls that enter the inclined channel 23 are guided into the vertical channels 22 at various positions in the distribution seat 12 through its internal cavity. Thus, the bearing steel balls in the upper part of the distribution seat 12 are finally dispersed in the vertical channels 22, that is, near the inner wall of the barrel 1, which facilitates the subsequent automatic inventory process, thereby completing the guidance and distribution process of the bearing steel balls.

[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 7 - Appendix Figure 9 An automatic inventory mechanism is located in the lower middle part of the inner side of the barrel 1, and is used to automatically count the steel balls after they have been processed by the guide distribution mechanism. The automatic inventory mechanism includes a strip seat 11. Multiple strip seats 11 are arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the barrel 1, and the top of each strip seat 11 corresponds to the bottom of the vertical track 22. Limiting plates 28 are fixedly connected to the top inner side of each strip seat 11. A transparent protective cover 8 is provided on the upper middle part of the outer wall of the barrel 1, and multiple identification plates 4 are equidistantly arranged on the top of the transparent protective cover 8. The automatic inventory mechanism also includes a rotating rod 29. A rotating rod 29 is rotatably connected to the middle of the top inner side of the strip seat 11. Torsion springs 30 are provided on both ends of the rotating rod 29. A multi-faceted prism seat 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the middle part of the rotating rod 29. Multiple rotating paddles 25 are arranged in a circular array on the other side of the middle part of the rotating rod 29. A counting label 33 is provided in the middle of each facet of the multi-faceted prism seat 24.

[0033] When the automatic inventory mechanism is started, the bearing balls, after being processed by the guide distribution mechanism, are distributed on the upper part of the strip seat 11. Then, as the bearing balls fall from the vertical track 22 into the strip seat 11, they are first limited by the limiting plate 28 on the strip seat 11 to prevent misalignment during the downward movement. Then, as the bearing balls fall into the strip seat 11, they actuate the rotating paddle 25 inside the strip seat 11 to rotate synchronously. While rotating, the rotating paddle 25 drives the rotating rod 29 on it to rotate synchronously. While rotating, the rotating rod 29 drives the multifaceted seat 24 and the torsion spring 30 on it to rotate. During the rotation of the multifaceted seat 24, the counting label 33 on it changes synchronously with the number of bearing balls passing by. At the same time, the torsion spring 30 on it tightens synchronously while rotating the rotating rod 29.

[0034] The automatic inventory mechanism also includes a sloping slide 26. The sloping slide 26 is slidably connected inside the bar seat 11. The bottom end of the sloping slide 26 is fixedly connected to a support spring 27. The bottom end of the support spring 27 is connected to the inner bottom end of the corresponding bar seat 11.

[0035] Then, as the bearing balls in the strip seat 11 fall, they land on the inclined slide 26. As the number of bearing balls in the strip seat 11 increases, the bearing balls on the inclined slide 26 also gradually contract due to the increased weight, pressing down on the support spring 27 at the bottom. After all the bearing balls in the distribution seat 12 have been discharged, the staff can check the counting labels 33 on the multifaceted seats 24 inside the transparent protective cover 8 and distinguish their positions using the identification plate 4. The staff can then count the counting labels 33 on each multifaceted seat 24 to complete the automatic inventory of the bearing balls.

[0036] Please see the appendix Figure 10 The reset collection mechanism is located at the bottom of the barrel 1 and is used to collect the bearing steel balls after they have been processed by the automatic inventory mechanism.

[0037] The reset collection mechanism includes an adjustment seat 16. The adjustment seat 16 is rotatably connected to the bottom inner side of the barrel 1. The adjustment seat 16 has multiple sets of discharge slots 32 arranged in a circular array. In use, the discharge slots 32 on the adjustment seat 16 are misaligned with the strip seat 11. The bottom inner side of the adjustment seat 16 is provided with a guide slope 31. The bottom center of the adjustment seat 16 is threadedly connected to a collection box 9, and the bottom end of the collection box 9 penetrates the barrel 1 and extends downward.

[0038] When the reset collection mechanism is started, after the staff has finished counting the data on all position counting tags 33, the staff manually rotates the extension plate 2. While the extension plate 2 is rotating, it drives the outer sleeve 10 on it to rotate synchronously. While the outer sleeve 10 is driven to rotate, it drives the adjusting seat 16 in the barrel 1 to rotate synchronously. While the adjusting seat 16 is rotating, it aligns the position of the discharge groove 32 on it with the position of the strip seat 11. When the two are aligned, the bearing steel balls in the strip seat 11 that were originally limited by the adjusting seat 16 enter the adjusting seat 16 under the influence of the inclined surface on the inclined slide 26.

[0039] The reset collection mechanism also includes an outer sleeve 10. The bottom of the adjusting seat 16 is fixedly connected to the outer sleeve 10, and the bottom of the outer sleeve 10 penetrates the barrel 1 and extends downward. The lower part of the outer wall of the outer sleeve 10 has multiple extension plates 2 arranged in a circular array.

[0040] Then, the bearing steel balls that enter the adjusting seat 16 are guided into the collection box 9 by the bottom guide slope 31. After all the steel balls in the adjusting seat 16 have been collected, the staff reset the adjusting seat 16 by extending the plate 2, and then rotated and removed the collection box 9 at the bottom of the barrel 1. The bearing steel balls collected in the collection box 9 are then placed back into the original placement box on the parts shelf, thus completing the collection and processing of the bearing steel balls after reset.

[0041] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
