Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of building material storage, and particularly relates to an intelligent shelf for storing cement sample barrels. Background Art

[0002] Cement is one of the most commonly used cementitious materials. As the main raw material of concrete materials, it is an important influencing factor for the performance of concrete materials. Therefore, newly produced cement needs to be tested by a testing unit for its performance. Only the products that pass the test can be applied to actual projects. To ensure the test results of cement, the testing unit needs to retain samples after testing the cement samples and store them for 3 months for future inspection. Therefore, the testing unit needs to set up a separate storage room to place the sample barrels containing cement test samples. There are usually several multi-layer shelves in the storage room. The staff need to place the tested cement sample barrels on the shelves in an orderly manner and timely clean up the expired cement sample barrels to make room for storing new cement sample barrels.

[0003] At present, there are the following problems in the storage process of cement sample barrels. When the number of tested cement samples is large, if the expired cement sample barrels in the shelf are not cleaned up in time, it is easy to fill up the shelf and unable to place new cement sample barrels. And according to the testing time of the cement samples, the sample barrels with a longer testing date are easy to be placed inside the shelf, while the sample barrels with a relatively recent testing date are easy to be placed outside the shelf. Therefore, there is a phenomenon that the sample barrels inside the shelf have expired while the sample barrels outside have not expired. During the cleaning process, the sample barrels outside need to be moved away first and then the sample barrels inside the shelf are cleaned, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0004] On the other hand, the labels marked with cement sample information are usually pasted on the side or the top of the cement sample barrel, which makes it extremely inconvenient to find the target sample barrel. The information of the sample barrels placed outside the shelf is easy to observe, while the information of the sample barrels placed inside the shelf is often difficult to observe. Usually, the sample barrels outside need to be moved away from the shelf to observe clearly, which increases the work intensity and workload of the staff. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an intelligent shelf for storing cement sample barrels, which can facilitate the storage, movement and cleaning of the sample barrels and improve the efficiency of sample barrel management.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] An intelligent shelf for storing cement sample barrels, comprising legs, a top plate and a plurality of bottom plates for placing the sample barrels. The top plate is fixedly connected to the tops of the legs. The bottom plates are arranged in layers below the top plate and fixedly connected to the legs. The upper surface of each bottom plate is provided with a plurality of cells marked with spatial coordinates. The size of each cell matches the size of the sample barrel and can only store one such sample barrel. Above each bottom plate, there is a movable manipulator, which is configured as a vertically telescopic manipulator capable of moving horizontally and vertically. A suction cup is arranged at the lower end of the manipulator. The distance between the bottom plate and the bottom plate above it or the distance between the bottom plate and the top plate above it > 2 times the height of the sample barrel + the shortest length of the manipulator, where the shortest length of the manipulator is the minimum length after the manipulator is shortened.

[0008] In the utility model, spatial coordinate marks are set for each cell on the bottom plate for storing the sample barrels, and the sample barrels can be positioned and stored in the designated cells, which is convenient for recording and finding the sample barrels. Through horizontal and vertical movement, the manipulator can move above each cell. When the sample barrel in any cell needs to be moved to other cells, the manipulator adsorbs the sample barrel through the suction cup for movement, improving the efficiency of moving the sample barrels.

[0009] The utility model also has the following preferred designs:

[0010] In the utility model, the manipulator is slidably mounted on a cross bar. The manipulator is connected with a horizontal driving component for driving it to move horizontally on the cross bar. The two ends of the cross bar are slidably mounted on longitudinal guide rails. The cross bar is connected with a longitudinal driving component for driving it to move longitudinally on the longitudinal guide rails.

[0011] Preferably, the longitudinal guide rails at both ends of each cross bar are two parallel I-shaped bars. The upper flange plates of the I-shaped bars are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top plate or fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bottom plate. Grooves matching the shape of the lower flange plates of the I-shaped bars are arranged at both ends of the cross bar. Longitudinal driving components are installed at both ends of the cross bar. The longitudinal driving component includes a first motor and a first guide wheel rotatably mounted on the inner side of the lower flange plate of the I-shaped bar. The first motor drives the first guide wheel to move longitudinally along the I-shaped bar. The upper end of the manipulator is installed with the horizontal driving component. The horizontal driving component includes a second motor and a second guide wheel rotatably mounted on the cross bar. The second motor drives the second guide wheel to move horizontally along the cross bar.

[0012] On one side of the bottom plate of the present utility model, there is a temporary placement table. The sample bucket that needs to be placed on the bottom plate can be temporarily placed on this temporary placement table, and then moved to the designated cell on the bottom plate by the manipulator; or the sample bucket to be cleared from the bottom plate can be moved to this temporary placement table by the manipulator.

[0013] On one side of the intelligent shelf of the present utility model, there is a collection box for storing sample buckets cleared from the bottom plate, such as expired ones. The height of this collection box should not be higher than the height of the bottom plate of the bottommost layer of the intelligent shelf, and the width should preferably be the same as the width of the shelf.

[0014] On the sample bucket of the present utility model, there is a sample information label containing digital barcodes of sample detection date and sample coding information, sample detection results, sample models, and information on whether to retain samples. After obtaining information such as the detection date, sample coding, and sample model of the sample bucket through the sample information label, it is convenient to infer its required storage period, and then place it in the corresponding cell on the bottom plate for recording.

[0015] The intelligent shelf of the present utility model further includes a controller and a scanner. The controller is connected to the first motor, the second motor, and the manipulator. The scanner is used to scan the sample information label of the sample bucket and send the scanned information to the controller. After the controller obtains the information on the sample bucket, it controls the actions of the first motor, the second motor, and the manipulator to move the sample bucket on the bottom plate and move the sample bucket to the corresponding cell.

[0016] As another feasible implementation manner, a control panel can be set for the controller. After the sample label information of the sample bucket is obtained by the scanner, the information is manually input into the control panel. The control panel sends command information to the controller, thereby controlling the movement of the manipulator. At the same time, the control panel can record the storage information of the sample buckets in the intelligent shelf, including but not limited to the storage quantity of the sample buckets in the intelligent shelf and the quantity that can be stored on each layer, the putting-in time of the sample buckets, and the expiration time of storage. The controller is used to receive the work command information sent by the control panel and control the actions of the manipulator, including putting the sample bucket into the intelligent shelf, taking out the target sample bucket from the intelligent shelf, and clearing the sample buckets with expired storage in the intelligent shelf.

[0017] Above each cell on the bottom plate of the present utility model, there is an infrared rangefinder for monitoring whether a sample bucket is stored.

[0018] Around the periphery of each layer of the bottom plate of the present utility model, baffles can be provided to prevent the sample buckets from falling out of the shelf.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. In the present utility model, spatial coordinate marks are set for each cell on the bottom plate for storing sample barrels, so that the sample barrels can be positioned and stored in the specified cells, facilitating the recording and searching of sample barrels. Through horizontal and vertical movements, the manipulator can move above each cell. When the sample barrel in any cell needs to be moved to other cells, the manipulator sucks the sample barrel through the suction cup for movement, improving the efficiency of sample barrel movement.

[0021] 2. The present utility model is provided with a controller that can automatically place the cement sample barrels in the shelf orderly and can quickly take out the target cement sample barrel from the shelf, avoiding the step of removing non-target sample barrels in the shelf during the process of searching for the target sample barrel at the present stage, greatly reducing the workload of the staff and significantly shortening the time for the staff to search for the target sample barrel in the shelf.

[0022] 3. The present utility model can timely and quickly remove the expired cement sample barrels in the shelf, enabling the shelf to place more cement sample barrels, improving the utilization rate of the shelf. At the same time, it can reduce the work of the current staff to check the surface label information of the sample barrels in the shelf one by one during the process of cleaning the expired sample barrels, reducing the workload and work intensity of the staff, and also avoiding possible human errors during the cleaning process, such as not completely cleaning the expired sample barrels in the shelf and mistakenly cleaning non-expired sample barrels.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, an intelligent shelf 1 for storing cement sample buckets includes legs 1a, a top plate 1b, and two layers of bottom plates 1c for placing sample buckets 9. In other embodiments, several bottom plates 1c with more than two layers can be provided according to requirements to make a multi - layer intelligent shelf. The top plate 1b is fixedly connected to the top of the legs 1a. The bottom plates 1c are arranged in layers below the top plate 1b and are fixedly connected to the legs 1a. The upper surface of the bottom plate 1c is provided with a plurality of cells with spatial coordinate markings. The size of each cell matches the size of the sample bucket 9 and can only store one sample bucket 9. Above each bottom plate 1c, there is a movable manipulator 2. The manipulator 2 is configured as a vertically telescopic manipulator capable of moving horizontally and vertically. A suction cup is provided at the lower end of the manipulator 2, which can adsorb the top surface of the sample bucket 9. The distance between the bottom plate 1c and its upper - layer bottom plate 1c or the distance between the bottom plate 1c and its upper - layer top plate 1b > 2 times the height of the sample bucket 9 + the shortest length of the manipulator 2. In this way, after the manipulator adsorbs the sample bucket, it can also move above other cells where sample buckets are placed. The telescoping of the manipulator 2 can be realized by an electric telescopic rod in the prior art.

[0033] In one embodiment, the manipulator 2 is slidably mounted on a cross bar 3. The manipulator 2 is connected to a lateral driving component for driving it to move horizontally on the cross bar 3. The two ends of the cross bar 3 are slidably mounted on the longitudinal guide rail 4. The cross bar 3 is connected to a longitudinal driving component for driving it to move longitudinally on the longitudinal guide rail 4.

[0034] In one embodiment, the longitudinal guide rails 4 at both ends of each cross bar 3 are two parallel I-shaped members. The upper flange plates of the I-shaped members are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top plate 1b or the lower surface of the bottom plate 1c. Grooves 3a matching the shape of the lower flange plates of the I-shaped members are provided at both ends of the cross bar 3 so that the lower flange plates are installed in the grooves 3a. Longitudinal driving components are installed at both ends of the cross bar 3. The longitudinal driving components include a first motor 5 and a first guide wheel 6 that is rollingly installed on the inner side of the lower flange plate of the I-shaped member. The first motor 5 drives the first guide wheel 6 to move longitudinally along the I-shaped member. A transverse driving component is installed at the upper end of the manipulator 2. The transverse driving component includes a second motor 7 and a second guide wheel 8 that is rollingly installed on the cross bar 3. The second motor 7 drives the second guide wheel 8 to move transversely along the cross bar 3.

[0035] In one embodiment, one side of the bottom plate 1c is a temporary placement table 1d. The sample bucket 9 that needs to be placed on the bottom plate 1c can be temporarily placed on the temporary placement table 1d and then moved to the designated cell on the bottom plate 1c by the manipulator 2; or the sample bucket 9 that needs to be removed from the bottom plate 1c can be moved to the temporary placement table 1d by the manipulator 2.

[0036] In one embodiment, a collection box 10 is placed on one side of the intelligent shelf 1 for storing sample buckets 9 removed from the bottom plate 1c, such as expired ones. The height of the collection box 10 should not be higher than the height of the bottom plate 1c of the bottommost layer of the intelligent shelf 1, and the width should preferably be the same as the width of the shelf.

[0037] In one embodiment, a sample information label including digital barcodes of sample detection dates and sample coding information, sample detection results, sample models, and information on whether to retain samples is provided on the sample bucket 9. After obtaining information such as the detection date, sample coding, and sample model of the sample bucket 9 through the sample information label, it is convenient to infer its required storage period, and then place it in the corresponding cell of the bottom plate 1c for recording.

[0038] In one embodiment, the intelligent shelf 1 further includes a controller 11 and a scanner 12. The controller 11 is connected to the first motor 5, the second motor 7, and the manipulator 2. The scanner 12 is used to scan the sample information label of the sample bucket 9 and send the scanned information to the controller 12. After the controller 12 obtains the information on the sample bucket 9, it controls the actions of the first motor 5, the second motor 7, and the manipulator 2 to move the sample bucket 9 on the bottom plate 1c and move the sample bucket 9 to the corresponding cell.

[0039] In one embodiment, a control panel 13 can be set for the controller 11. After the sample label information of the sample bucket 9 is obtained by the scanner 12, the information is manually input into the control panel 13, and the control panel 13 sends command information to the controller 11 to control the movement of the manipulator 2. At the same time, the control panel 13 can record the storage information of the sample bucket 9 in the intelligent shelf 1, including but not limited to the storage quantity of the sample bucket 9 in the intelligent shelf 1, the quantity that can be stored on each layer, the putting time of the sample bucket 9, and the expiration time of storage. The controller 11 is used to receive the work instructions issued by the control panel 13 and control the work of the manipulator 2, including putting the sample bucket 9 into the intelligent shelf 1, taking out the target sample bucket 9 from the intelligent shelf 1, and cleaning the sample bucket 9 with expired storage time in the intelligent shelf 1. The controller 11 is an existing product and can adopt the NIMC2000N-C series motion controller. The scanner 12 is an existing product, such as a dedicated barcode gun, etc.

[0040] In one embodiment, an infrared rangefinder for monitoring whether the sample bucket 9 is stored is arranged directly above each cell on the bottom plate 1c, and it is identified whether the sample bucket 9 is placed in the cell through infrared distance sensing.

[0041] In one embodiment, baffles can be arranged around the periphery of each layer of the bottom plate 1c to prevent the sample bucket 9 from falling out of the shelf.

[0042] The above embodiments are only relatively preferred embodiments of the present invention, but they cannot be used as a limitation to the invention. Any variations and improvements made based on the concept of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The specific protection scope shall be subject to what is recorded in the claims.
