[0022] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides a container capable of automatic measurement. The interior of the container 1 is used to store goods. A load plate 31 is installed on the top of the container 1. A weighing sensor 4 is provided under the load plate 31. The weighing sensor 4 is electrically connected to the controller 6. The weighing sensor 4 converts the weight of the load plate 31 and the goods into an electrical signal and transmits it to the controller 6, so as to realize real-time weight monitoring of the goods deposited or taken out, and promptly notify the management personnel to replenish the goods, without the need for additional measuring equipment and manual operation, thereby reducing costs and time consumption.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the container 1 is sealed and used to store goods for sale. One end of the container is provided with a door 11 to facilitate the entry and exit of goods. It should be noted that a plurality of through holes 21 may be provided at the bottom of the container 1. Figure 2 As shown, ventilation of the items in the container 1 is achieved.

[0024] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a cabinet frame 12 is arranged inside the container 1, and weighing sensors 4 are evenly fixedly installed around the top of the cabinet frame 12. A bearing frame 3 is arranged under the bearing plate 31, and the bottom of the bearing frame 3 abuts against the weighing sensor 4, making the whole more firm and reliable.

[0025] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the support frame 3 is in the shape of a square frame, hollow in the middle, and recessed inside to facilitate the installation of the support plate 31. The support frame 3 is used to effectively prevent problems such as inaccurate weighing caused by deformation of the support plate 31, and ensure that all sensors are subjected to uniform force as much as possible.

[0026] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, a pallet 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the container 1, so as to facilitate the transfer of the entire container 1 by a forklift.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the controller 6 is installed in the container 1 and connected to the mains through the plug 5. The controller 6 also integrates a wireless communication module, which transmits the data of the weighing sensor 4 to the management system to realize the automatic management of inventory. It should be noted that in addition to using the mains, a mobile power supply can also be installed in the container 1 to power the controller 6 and the weighing sensor 4.

[0028] In order to have a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosed content of the utility model, the principle thereof is further explained below in combination with the usage method.

[0029] In actual use, after placing the container 1 to the corresponding position by forklift, connect the power cord to the plug 5 to power on the container 1. At this time, the mobile phone, computer and controller 6 can be used for wireless connection to encode and classify the container 1, reset it to zero, and set the weight of a single piece of cargo. After the setting is completed, the items in the container 1 are placed on the load plate 31. At this time, the weighing sensor 4 automatically weighs and transmits the electrical signal to the controller 6 to convert it into a digital signal, and then transmits the data to the management system through the wireless communication module. At this time, the mobile phone or computer can see the amount of cargo in the container 1. When the weight on the load plate 31 is less than the set value, the management system promptly notifies the corresponding management personnel to handle it, which allows the manager to replenish the goods more accurately and quickly, effectively reducing labor costs.
