Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of RFID identification equipment, in particular to a reagent in-and-out warehouse batch identification equipment. Background Art
[0002] When reagents are transported from the production unit to the warehouse of the user unit, the batch number, production time, quantity, etc. of the reagents are often matched manually; each time they are in and out of the warehouse, a lot of time is required for manual comparison, the procedure is complicated and prone to errors; with the development of RFID technology, this technology has been widely used in the work of reagents entering / exiting the warehouse. The reagent supplier provides detailed production information for the reagents leaving the warehouse, including production batch number, batch, quantity, specifications and other information; the information provided by the reagent supplier is then integrated into the RFID tag and affixed to the corresponding reagent guarantee shell; for the work of entering / exiting the warehouse, batch identification is performed through RFID identification equipment, and the upper-level software automatically creates detailed details and compares them with the detailed information of the list of entry and exit requirements. If the list information is inconsistent or the quantity does not match, a prompt can be issued to remind manual intervention and confirmation to ensure correctness.
[0003] However, the batch identification equipment and reagent transfer devices currently used for reagent entry and exit are all designed independently and lack integrity, resulting in the inability to achieve seamless connection between transfer and identification during use. In addition, many batch identification equipment for reagent entry and exit currently use conveyor belts to transport reagents through the identification area. For this reason, a relatively long buffer section needs to be configured before and after the identification area of the batch identification equipment for reagent entry and exit to ensure that the reagents pass through the identification area in an orderly manner and are not easy to fall after leaving the identification area. Such a design increases the volume and floor space of the identification equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a reagent in-and-out batch identification device, which utilizes a detachable integrated design to achieve seamless connection between the transportation and identification processes, while reducing the volume and floor space of the identification device.

[0010] A docking structure and a locking mechanism for locking the docking mechanism after the docking mechanism is in place are provided between the front and rear transfer carts and the identification channel body; the loading surfaces of the front and rear carts are flush with the surface of the transmission belt line.
[0011] Furthermore, the docking structure includes a protrusion provided on one side of each of the front and rear transfer carts for connecting with the identification channel body, and a recess on two corresponding sides of the identification channel body that cooperates with the protrusion.
[0012] Furthermore, the depression is configured as a bell mouth, and the protrusion also cooperates therewith.
[0013] Furthermore, the in-position locking mechanism includes an electromagnetic lock block installed on the raised end surface, and correspondingly also includes an electromagnetic lock arranged at the bottom of the recess on the body.

[0021] The working principle and beneficial effect of the utility model are that the front and rear transfer carts are originally separated from the identification channel, and each is used to take / put reagents with RFID tags. Then, the front transfer cart carrying the reagents that need to be put in / out of the warehouse and the rear transfer cart with the vacant loading space are pushed to the two sides of the identification channel and docked together through a docking mechanism to form a combined state, and then locked by the in-place locking mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The reagent in and out batch identification device in the combined state of this embodiment is basically as follows Figure 1As shown, it includes a front transfer cart, a rear transfer cart, an identification channel and a data PC terminal.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the identification channel body is basically a box-shaped device, and a transmission belt line driven by a motor is provided on the upper surface of the identification channel body. At the same time, a tunnel-type channel mechanism is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the body, spanning the transmission belt line; Figure 3 As shown, the channel mechanism in this example is U-shaped and inverted on the transmission belt line, thereby forming a rectangular "tunnel-type" channel with the load surface of the transmission belt line; in this example, RFID antennas are provided in the three side walls of the channel mechanism and in the position corresponding to the channel mechanism below the transmission belt line in the identification channel body, and a matching RFID identification device is provided in the identification channel body, and the two constitute an RFID identification system for batch identification of reagents with RFID tags in the channel mechanism; the identification area is covered by 4 antennas, and the reagent labels in the channel identification area are read 360°; in addition, a camera for monitoring the storage process is provided in the "tunnel-type" channel, such as Figure 3 As shown, the camera is installed at the top of the "tunnel-type" channel. Correspondingly, sensors for sensing whether there are objects passing through are provided on both sides of the transmission belt line near the exit / entrance of the "tunnel-type" channel. Such sensors are provided on both sides of the "tunnel-type" channel. The sensing signals of these sensors can be used to determine the situation of objects entering and exiting the channel mechanism, and then the data PC can use the control algorithm to control the opening and closing of the camera according to the signal sent back by the sensor, so that the camera does not have to be in working state all the time.
[0029] The data PC terminal in this example is an intelligent device that integrates a touch screen and can perform calculations, storage and external data communications, and can deploy an operating system to load application programs. The body of the data PC terminal is installed on the outside of the vertically arranged side wall of the channel mechanism. A horizontal side of the data PC terminal is pivotally connected to the side wall of the channel mechanism on that side. A damping device is provided at the connection so that the data PC terminal can achieve a certain angle of hovering during the rotation of the connection around the connection. This makes it convenient for users to adjust the orientation of the screen on the data PC terminal, and then it is convenient for users to view the content displayed on the screen. The RFID identification device is electrically connected to the data PC terminal, and the read information can be transmitted to the data PC terminal for sorting, matching, display and processing. In some embodiments, a small camera for face recognition is also integrated on the data PC terminal, so that the data PC terminal can perform face recognition verification tasks and improve security.
[0030] In this example, a docking structure and a locking mechanism are provided between the front and rear transfer carts and the main body. Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in this example, the docking structure includes a protrusion on one side of the front and rear transfer carts for connecting with the body, and a depression on the two corresponding sides of the body that cooperates with the protrusion. In this example, the depression is set as a trumpet mouth, and the protrusion also cooperates with it. The trumpet mouth and the protrusion serve as a positioning guide structure, which plays a role in facilitating docking, so that the transfer cart can be quickly positioned; the positioning locking mechanism in this example includes an electromagnetic lock block installed on the end face of the protrusion, and correspondingly also includes an electromagnetic lock at the bottom of the depression on the body, and a positioning sensor is provided next to the electromagnetic lock. The loading surface of the front and rear carts is flush with the surface of the channel belt. After being in position, the channel belt is started, and the reagents on the cart are manually pushed into or grabbed onto the belt. The transfer cart is seamlessly connected with the channel, effectively preventing the reagents from falling during the transfer; in addition, in order to facilitate the pushing of the transfer cart, a handle is also provided on it. The handle is located on the side of the transfer cart opposite to the side where the protrusion is located. The electromagnetic lock in this example uses but is not limited to the SuoDana A60 24V model; the in-position sensor uses but is not limited to the KJT proximity switch KJT-DKT112.
[0031] By setting the front and rear carts in place sensing function, the host computer can be prompted to start the delivery. In addition, the sensor outputs a dry node signal. The IO module corresponding to the sensor receives the signal and transmits it to the data PC end. The signal processed by the data PC end is transmitted to the IO end corresponding to the motor to notify the motor drive to start the motor. The data PC end also transmits the signal to the indicator light to display relevant information. As you can imagine, the above process can be set to be fully automatic or manually executed.
[0032] In this example, the indicator lights are Figure 3 As shown in , it is installed on a panel, and the panel is located on the side below the data PC end on the identification channel body, and is an inclined surface inclined toward the direction of the transmission belt line. The indicator lights include two in-place / separation indicator lights located at both ends of the panel and a strip indicator light strip in the middle. In this example, the in-place / separation indicator lights can be turned on and off to display the trolley in-place / out-of-place prompt; the strip indicator light strip can be turned on and off to display the normal operation of the equipment; the strip indicator light strip can be turned on and off to display the storage / entry direction prompt, but it is not limited to the dynamic color change of the strip indicator light strip. The dynamic color change of the strip indicator light strip can be achieved by, for example, a color-changing LED light strip / group. These technologies are relatively existing and will not be elaborated here.
[0033] On the front side wall of the identification channel body, corresponding to the arrival / detachment indicator light, there are left and right transfer cart detachment buttons; accordingly, in this example, the start mode of the electromagnet can be set as needed, including automatic mode or manual mode; in automatic mode, when the arrival sensor senses that the transfer cart is in place, the electromagnet on the corresponding side is automatically started, and then the transfer cart on that side is locked, and the arrival indicator light is on; in manual mode, when the arrival sensor senses that the transfer cart is in place, the arrival indicator light is on, and the electromagnet is started by pressing the detachment button (which can also be called the locking button at this time), and then the transfer cart on that side is locked. If the transfer cart needs to be separated, just press the corresponding detachment button. The specific electrical control method is relatively existing. Under the premise of known control logic, those skilled in the art can implement it, so it will not be repeated here.
[0034] In addition, this example also provides an equipment start button, a belt emergency stop button, and a one-touch switch button for entering and exiting the warehouse, which are located on the outer side of the channel mechanism, below the data PC terminal and above the bar indicator light strip. The specific electrical control process corresponding to each button will not be described here.
[0035] The front view of the reagent in-and-out batch identification device composed of the front transfer cart, the rear transfer cart and the identification channel is as follows Figure 4 As shown, it can be seen from the figure that the loading plane of the transfer cart is a frame structure, and the two sides of the frame structure are open, which is convenient for taking, placing, carrying and transporting the reagents in pieces. A loading platform is arranged horizontally in the middle, and the storage space is divided into two layers, which improves the utilization rate of the space. Baffles are arranged on the other two sides of the frame structure, and a bottom plate is arranged on the bottom surface. It is worth noting that if there is only one operator, or multiple operators are located on one side of the reagent in and out batch identification device, the front transfer cart and the rear transfer cart are mirror-set, so that the open sides of the front transfer cart and the rear transfer cart are always facing the operator; if multiple operators are located on both sides of the reagent in and out batch identification device, the front transfer cart and the rear transfer cart with the same mirror-set are used, so that after the front transfer cart and the rear transfer cart are in place, the open sides of the two are respectively facing the operators on both sides of the reagent in and out batch identification device.
[0036] The reagent supplier provides detailed production information, production batch number, batch, quantity, specification and other information for the reagent out of the warehouse; according to the information provided by the reagent supplier, it is integrated into the RFID tag and pasted on the corresponding reagent guarantee shell; it is transported by a transfer cart or directly by manual operation, and then placed in the identification channel, and transmitted to the identification area in the channel mechanism by a transmission belt for batch identification. The upper software automatically establishes detailed details and compares them with the preset detailed information of the in-and-out list. If it is found that the information is inconsistent with the list information, the quantity does not match, etc., the prompt information can be displayed on the display screen of the data PC to remind manual intervention and confirmation; at the same time, the corresponding information of the in-and-out reagents, the delivery person information, etc. can be displayed on the data PC. Through the collaboration with the inventory management software, the display information can also be extended to the warehouse reagent placement location information, etc. The software programming content mentioned in this example does not belong to the technical solution to be protected by the utility model, and is relatively well known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be repeated here.
[0037] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model, and the common knowledge such as the known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the utility model, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
