Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vertical rotary cabinets, and particularly relates to an RFID automatic code reading and automatic inventory checking mechanism for a vertical rotary cabinet. Background Technique

[0002] At present, as an independent warehousing management system, vertical rotary cabinets have been widely used in modern industrial automation. For example, in the manufacturing industry, they can be used to store precision items such as cutting tools, machine equipment parts, and electronic components, with the advantages of not being easily lost, being fully enclosed, and effectively avoiding the damage of dust and sunlight.

[0003] However, it also has the following disadvantages: First, because the RFID scanner at the operation port has too large a scanning range and will mix the materials inside and outside the warehouse, manual inventory checking is required to verify the quantity of goods. The process is cumbersome, with low efficiency and a significant increase in manual operation time. Second, the internal space of the cabinet is very compact, and it is impossible to scan all the goods on the hoppers. Third, the storage carrier in the cabinet is a hopper with a semi-coated metal structure, which shields the signal of the RFID scanner and cannot achieve global scanning.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment provided by the present utility model: an RFID automatic code reading and automatic inventory checking mechanism for a vertical rotating container, including a main column 1.

One end of the connector 17 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 20. A hopper 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the connecting plate 20. A material box 4 is arranged on the upper surface of the hopper 21. An RFID tag 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the material box 4. A box body 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the main column 1. A working platform 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the box body 15. A base 19 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the working platform 8. The base 19 is used to connect the equipment operator 11. A support rod 12 is fixedly connected to the main column 1. An RFID antenna 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the box body 15. The RFID antenna 6 is used to scan the RFID tag 7. A guide rail 10 and an operation port 22 are arranged on the outer wall of one side of the box body 15. An electric door 9 is arranged on the operation port 22, and the electric door 9 is slidably connected to the guide rail 10. The guide rail 10 is used to guide the moving position of the electric door 9. An equipment operator 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the base 19. The equipment operator 11 is used to operate the vertical rotating container. A partition 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the hopper 21. An operating platform 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 20. A chain 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the connector 17. The chain 13 is used to drive the movement of the material box 4.

[0022] Working principle: When using this utility model, it is necessary to first use the equipment operator 11 to open the electric door 9 on the guide rail 10, and at the same time start the motor. The motor drives the chain 13, the chain 13 drives the connector 17 on the vertical rotating container track 2, the connector 17 drives the hopper 21, and the hopper 21 drives multiple material boxes 4. When the material box 4 reaches the operation port 22, the equipment operator 11 stops the operation of the motor to make the material box 4 stop moving. The staff places the label of the material face down on the working platform 8, makes the label on the material face the RFID tag 7 and puts it into the material box 4. When the material box 4 located at the operation port 22 is full, the equipment operator 11 starts the motor to make the full material box 4 move vertically along with the vertical rotating container track 2, so that the unfilled material box 4 moves to the position of the operation port 22. When the full material box 4 passes through the RFID antenna 6, the RFID antenna 6 will scan the RFID tag 7. After the RFID antenna 6 scans the RFID tag 7, it will transmit the data to the reader. The reader analyzes and classifies the data, and the classified data will be transmitted to the equipment operator 11. When stopping using the vertical rotating container, the equipment operator 11 closes the electric door 9. After the electric door 9 is closed, the hopper 21 is driven by the chain 13 to make the RFID tag 7 pass through the RFID antenna 6 actively, so that the RFID antenna 6 scans the RFID tag 7 and uploads the data, achieving real-time monitoring and inventory of the materials; wherein the box body 15 is used to connect the main column 1, the operation table 3 is used to install the material boxes 4, the partition piece 5 is used to separate multiple material boxes 4, the connecting seat 14 is used to fixedly connect the vertical rotating container track 2, the base 19 is used to fixedly connect the working platform 8, the connecting plate 20 is used to connect the material box 4 and the operation table 3, and the support rod 12 is used to connect the box body 15.
