Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of storage cages, in particular to a storage cage with a weighing function. Background Art

[0002] Storage cages are used for storing and transshipping goods in warehouses. The service life of storage cages is directly related to the weight they bear during daily use. When the weight that the storage cage bears for a long time is greater than the weight it can bear, it will seriously affect the service life of the storage cage. The weight bearing capacity of the storage cage is related to its own structural strength. The standard for existing workers to use storage cages to load goods is based on full load of the space, and different goods have different weights. If the storage cage is loaded with goods that exceed its own weight, it will cause the storage cage to deform or break. At the same time, when some goods are transshipped, it is often necessary to weigh goods of a specific weight. The traditional way is to move the storage cage containing goods to the weighing device for weighing together, which is more troublesome to carry. Based on the above situation, it is necessary to design a storage cage with a weighing function to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 A storage cage with a weighing function includes a storage box consisting of a fence 1 and a bottom plate 2, and also includes a controller 7, a weighing assembly and an alarm 8 arranged below the bottom plate 2. The weighing assembly includes a support plate 4 below the bottom plate 2, a weighing sensor 6 on the upper surface of the support plate 4, and a first support foot 5 on the lower surface of the support plate 4. The input end of the controller 7 is connected to the output end of the weighing sensor 6 for receiving a pressure signal transmitted by the weighing sensor 6. The output end of the controller 7 is used to output a control signal when the received pressure signal reaches a threshold value. The control signal is used to control the operation of the alarm 8.

[0020] Specifically, the existing storage cage is composed of side walls formed by a fence 1 and a bottom wall formed by a bottom plate 2, forming a storage box with an opening at the top, and the goods are placed inside the storage box through the opening at the top. The utility model arranges a support plate 4 under the bottom plate 2, and the bottom of the support plate 4 is in contact with the ground through a first supporting foot 5. At the same time, a weighing sensor 6 is also arranged on the upper surface of the support plate 4 to support the bottom plate 2 of the storage cage. Therefore, the weight of the storage cage can be completely acted on the weighing sensor 6. The controller 7 can determine the weight of the goods inside the current storage cage by obtaining the signal of the weighing sensor 6. When the controller 7 determines that the currently detected weight reaches the set value (the set value can be set with reference to the rated load-bearing weight of the storage cage, and the set value should be less than the rated load-bearing weight of the storage cage), the alarm 8 is controlled to alarm to remind workers that the current storage cage goods bear weight to reach the set value, so as to avoid the storage cage being borne too heavy, which may damage the storage cage or deform the storage cage and affect its service life.

[0021] The support plate 4 is suspended below the base plate 2, and a second support leg 3 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base plate 2. The first support leg 5 on the lower surface of the support plate 4 is an electric telescopic rod. The controller 7 is also provided with a control button 10 for controlling the lifting and lowering of the electric telescopic rod.

[0022] Taking into account that the weighing sensor 6 is easily damaged when it is squeezed by the bottom plate 2 for a long time, which affects its service life, the support plate 4 is installed under the bottom plate 2 in a suspended manner to prevent the weighing sensor 6 from being squeezed for a long time when not weighing. At the same time, a second supporting foot 3 is provided to support the bottom plate 2 when not weighing, maintain the supporting plate 4 in a suspended state, and ensure that the weighing sensor 6 is out of contact with the bottom plate 2. In the specific use process, the storage cage is first in an empty state, and the goods need to be placed in the storage cage for transportation or storage. In order to ensure that the storage cage stores goods of rated weight, the controller 7 first controls the first supporting foot 5 composed of the electric telescopic rod to extend, so that the first supporting foot 5 contacts the ground to lift the support plate 4 and the storage box. At this time, the second supporting foot 3 is in a suspended state, and the goods are moved toward the storage box. The interior of the storage box is gradually filled with goods. As the weight of the goods becomes heavier, the weight detected by the weighing sensor 6 also becomes heavier. When the controller 7 determines that the weight corresponding to the weight signal received from the weighing sensor 6 is greater than the set rated weight, the controller 7 controls the alarm 8 to work to remind the workers to stop loading. After the loading is completed, the first supporting leg 5 is controlled to shorten by the controller 7. At this time, the storage box is supported by the second supporting leg 3. As the first supporting leg 5 shortens, the supporting plate 4 is in a suspended state. At this time, the weighing sensor 6 on the supporting plate 4 is separated from the bottom plate 2, that is, the weighing sensor 6 is in a working state without being squeezed. The weight signal corresponding to the weighing sensor 6 received by the controller 7 is zero, and the controller 7 controls the alarm 8 to stop working to prevent the weighing sensor 6 from being squeezed for a long time and causing damage.

[0023] A lifting ear 12 is fixedly connected to the edge of the base plate 2, and a suspension rod 13 is provided on the support plate 4 to cooperate with the lifting ear 12 to achieve the lifting of the base plate 2. A spring 14 is also sleeved on the suspension rod 13, and the spring 14 is located between the top of the suspension rod 13 and the upper surface of the lifting ear 12.

[0024] The specific support plate 4 is hoisted under the base plate 2, and its hoisting method can be realized by means of a lifting ear 12 and a hanging rod 13. When the bottom of the second support leg 3 is supported on the ground, the first support leg 5 is in a shortened state, and the support plate 4 and the first support leg 5 are in a suspended state through the lifting ear 12 and the hanging rod 13. At this time, the weighing sensor 6 is not in contact with the base plate 2. When the first support leg 5 is controlled to be in an extended state by the control button 10 on the controller 7, the second support leg 3 is out of contact with the ground, and the storage box is supported by the support plate 4, so the weight of the storage box can all act on the weighing sensor 6. Therefore, when the second support leg 3 supports the storage box, the support plate 4 is in a suspended state and is located at the lower part of the base plate 2. The weighing sensor 6 is not subjected to pressure. When the first support leg 5 supports the storage box through the support plate 4, the weight of the storage box can all act on the weighing sensor 6 to achieve weighing.

[0025] The controller 7 is also provided with a display screen 9 for displaying the weighing result.

[0026] The controller 7 is also provided with a display screen 9 . When the controller 7 receives a signal from the weighing sensor 6 , the controller 7 can display the corresponding weight in real time through the display screen 9 .

[0027] A universal wheel 11 is disposed at the bottom of the second supporting leg 3 , and a pad 501 is disposed at the bottom of the first supporting leg 5 .

[0028] A universal wheel 11 is provided at the bottom of the second supporting leg 3, which can facilitate pushing the storage cage when supported by the second supporting leg 3. A pad 501 is provided at the bottom of the first supporting leg 5, which can stably weigh when supported by the first supporting leg 5.

[0029] A rechargeable battery 15 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 4, which can provide electrical energy for the operation of the weighing sensor 6, the controller 7, the alarm 8 and the first support leg 5 on the storage cage.

[0030] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model.
