Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of warehousing and logistics, and more specifically to a multifunctional shelf sorting platform. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the warehousing management and logistics industries in recent years, the efficiency of cargo storage and sorting has become a key factor restricting warehousing costs and affecting service quality. Currently, the most widely used warehousing systems rely on manual operation combined with fixed racks, exposing a series of limitations that cannot be ignored.

[0003] Low efficiency in cargo storage, retrieval, and sorting: Traditional shelving systems lack automation and rely heavily on manual operations when it comes to cargo storage, retrieval, and sorting. When faced with frequent retrieval tasks, workers have to shuttle between shelves, spending a significant amount of time searching for the target goods one by one, and then manually transporting them to designated locations. Taking the processing of standard goods as an example, manually searching and transporting a single item takes an average of 3 to 5 minutes. If 300 to 500 items need to be processed in a single day, the search and transport alone will consume a significant amount of man-hours. For large items, the difficulty and complexity of operations increase exponentially, often requiring the collaboration of multiple workers, resulting in low efficiency and increasing the risk of cargo accumulation and collisions.

[0004] Relying on manual judgment and classification during sorting is prone to errors, especially when handling high-frequency, high-volume goods. For example, during a promotional season at an e-commerce warehouse, inaccurate manual sorting resulted in an 8% error rate and a 20% drop in sorting speed, severely impacting the overall operational efficiency of warehouse logistics.

[0005] Low space utilization: Traditional shelving systems have a fixed structure, and the number of layers and height cannot be adjusted according to actual conditions, resulting in wasted space. When storing taller or smaller items, the fixed layer spacing and height often cannot adapt to the needs of different types of goods, resulting in inefficient use of vertical space. For example, in one small warehouse, due to an unreasonable shelving layout, the vertical space wasted rate reached 30%, further increasing storage costs and reducing storage efficiency.

[0006] To this end, a multifunctional shelf sorting platform is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a multifunctional shelf sorting platform to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0008] The utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] The multifunctional shelf sorting platform includes a shelf cabinet and a base platform for supporting the bottom of the shelf cabinet. Each of the shelf cabinets is symmetrically provided with track grooves at both ends of the inner side. Guide openings are symmetrically provided at the upper and lower openings of each track groove. The left and right track grooves are connected by inserting the shelf baffles from the two guide openings at the front end. Both sides of the shelf baffle are provided with outwardly extending cross bars. The outside of the shelf cabinet is provided with a driving device for driving the cross bar to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. There are multiple groups of vertically stacked shelf cabinets, and a docking assembly is provided on the back side of each group of shelf cabinets.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving device includes a micro motor and a protective shell. The protective shell is a rectangular structure with an open side, the open side of which faces the shelf cabinet and is fixedly connected to the outside of the shelf cabinet by bolts. Ventilation filters are provided on the top and bottom of the protective shell. The micro motor is placed in the protective shell and connected to the cross bar on one side of the shelf baffle. The micro motor is fixedly clamped by a concave limit frame provided on the outside of the shelf cabinet.

[0011] Furthermore, an auxiliary support bar is provided under each shelf baffle, the auxiliary support bar is connected to the inner wall of the shelf cabinet and two groups are provided, and the auxiliary support bar is only one-third of the length of the shelf baffle.

[0012] Furthermore, a card slot is provided on the front side of each shelf baffle, and a signal receiver with a corresponding number is provided inside the card slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the driving device drives the shelf baffle to rotate up and down at an angle ranging from thirty degrees to one hundred and eighty degrees.

[0014] Furthermore, the dimensions of each of the signal receivers are 3-4 cm in length, 2-3 cm in width, and 0.5-1 cm in thickness.

[0015] Furthermore, the docking assembly includes a mounting frame and a card plate installed on the back of each shelf cabinet and distributed sequentially from top to bottom. The card plate is an L-shaped structure and is clamped inside the mounting frame corresponding to the shelf cabinet below.

[0016] Technical effects and advantages of this utility model:

[0017] 1. The utility model realizes the flexible adjustment of the shelf baffle angle between thirty degrees and one hundred and eighty degrees by cooperating with the track groove, the guide port and the rotatable shelf baffle in combination with the driving device. When picking up goods, the micro motor drives the shelf baffle to rotate downward to the appropriate angle, and the goods can automatically slide to a convenient position for picking up by gravity, which greatly reduces the time and energy of manual handling and searching for goods. When storing goods, the shelf baffle can be quickly returned to the storage position by rotating it upward, which significantly improves the efficiency of goods storage and retrieval. At the same time, the front side of the shelf baffle of the platform is equipped with a signal receiver. The signal receiver on the front side of the shelf baffle can record the goods information, and the external barcode scanner can read it at any time to accurately locate the position and information of the goods, which greatly facilitates the management and inventory of goods, effectively reduces the problems of misplacement and loss of goods, and improves the accuracy and convenience of warehouse management.

[0018] 2. The auxiliary support bar provided in the present invention plays a key role in the rotation process of the shelf baffle. When the shelf baffle tilts downward, the auxiliary support bar supports the front of its lower end, which not only prevents the shelf baffle from overturning due to the weight of the goods or other factors, causing the goods to slide and be damaged, thereby ensuring the safety of the goods, but also can share the gravity of the shelf baffle and the goods, reduce the pressure on the drive device, reduce equipment loss, extend the service life of components such as the micro motor, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the shelf system. At the same time, the protective shell plays a good protective role for the micro motor, and the ventilation filters at the top and bottom ensure the heat dissipation of the motor and prevent dust from entering, further enhancing the stability and durability of the equipment.

[0019] 3. The docking assembly on the back of this new rack cabinet is cleverly designed. The combination of the pallet and mounting frame allows for flexible stacking of multiple rack cabinets based on actual needs. When indoor space is limited, the number of stacking layers can be increased to improve space utilization and accommodate large quantities of goods. When cargo volume decreases or space requirements change, the number of rack cabinets can be easily reduced. This flexible and adaptable stacking method not only adapts to different storage environments and customer needs, but also, through the L-shaped connection between the pallet and mounting frame, ensures the overall stability of the stacked rack cabinets, reducing safety hazards caused by shelf sway or instability.

The structure of the present invention necessarily exceeds these limited embodiments. For some equivalent replacement solutions or common means, they will not be described in detail herein, but they still fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Figure 1 - Figure 6 This is the best embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 - Figure 5 The utility model is further described.

[0029] Example 1: Refer to the attached Figure 1 - Figure 5 , a multifunctional shelf sorting platform; specifically, it includes a shelf cabinet 1 and a base platform 2 for supporting the bottom of the shelf cabinet 1. Each of the two inner ends of the shelf cabinet 1 is symmetrically provided with a track groove 4. The opening of each track groove 4 is symmetrically provided with a guide port 401. The left and right track grooves 4 are connected by inserting the shelf baffle 3 from the two guide ports 401 at the front end. Both sides of the shelf baffle 3 are provided with a cross bar 301 extending outward. The outer side of the shelf cabinet 1 is provided with a driving device for driving the cross bar 301 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The driving device drives the shelf baffle 3 The range of the up and down rotation angle of the plate 3 is between thirty degrees and one hundred and eighty degrees. The shelf cabinet 1 has multiple groups of vertical stacking. The driving device includes a micro motor 5 and a protective shell 6. The protective shell 6 is a rectangular structure with an opening on one side. The open side faces the shelf cabinet 1 and is fixedly connected to the outside of the shelf cabinet 1 by bolts. The top and bottom of the protective shell 6 are provided with ventilation filters 7. The micro motor 5 is placed in the protective shell 6 and is connected to the cross bar 301 on one side of the shelf baffle 3. The micro motor 5 is fixedly clamped by a concave limit frame 101 provided on the outside of the shelf cabinet 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, an auxiliary support bar 8 is provided under each of the shelf baffles 3. The auxiliary support bars 8 are connected to the inner wall of the shelf cabinet 1 and are provided in two groups. In this technical solution, the auxiliary support bar 8 is only one-third of the length of the shelf baffle 3. When the shelf baffle 3 rotates and tilts downward, the bottom front of the lower end of the shelf baffle 3 is supported to prevent the shelf baffle 3 from flipping downward more than ninety degrees, and the items on the shelf baffle 3 are slid to the shelf cabinet 1 on the lower layer.

[0031] In this embodiment, a card slot 302 is provided on the front side of each shelf baffle 3, and a signal receiver 303 with a corresponding number is provided inside the card slot 302. The signal receiver 303 inside the card slot 302 is used to record the information of the items placed on the corresponding shelf baffle 3. When the external barcode scanner scans the signal receiver 303 on the corresponding shelf cabinet 1, the information of the items on the shelf baffle 3 can be obtained on the external device.

[0032] Specifically, the dimensions of each signal receiver 303 are 3-4 cm in length, 2-3 cm in width, and 0.5-1 cm in thickness.

[0033] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple groups of shelf cabinets 1 stacked vertically, and a docking assembly is provided on the back of each group of shelf cabinets 1. The docking assembly includes an installation frame 9 and a card plate 901 installed on the back of each shelf cabinet 1 and distributed from top to bottom. The card plate 901 is an L-shaped structure and the card plate 901 is clamped inside the corresponding installation frame 9 of the shelf cabinet 1 below.

[0034] Specifically, by setting upper and lower corresponding mounting frames 9 and pallet 901 on the back side of each shelf cabinet 1, multiple groups of shelf cabinets 1 can be set up to increase the height of stacking or reduce the number of shelf cabinets 1 according to the size of the room, and multiple groups of shelf cabinets 1 can be stacked according to customer needs.

[0035] In this embodiment,

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the shelf baffle 3's adjustment function is achieved through the interaction of the track slot 4, the guide opening 401, the crossbar 301 of the shelf baffle 3, and the drive device (micromotor 5). The shelf baffle 3 is inserted into the track slot 4 through the guide opening 401. The micromotor 5 is connected to the crossbar 301 and, protected and secured by the protective shell 6 and the limit frame 101, drives the crossbar 301 to rotate, thereby driving the shelf baffle 3. The angle of the shelf baffle 3 can be flexibly adjusted between 30 and 180 degrees to meet the different needs of placing and removing goods. For example, when removing goods, the shelf baffle 3 can be rotated downward to facilitate the automatic sliding of goods, while when storing goods, it can be rotated upward to facilitate storage.

[0037] Auxiliary support function: The auxiliary support bar 8 is connected to the inner wall of the shelf cabinet 1 and plays a role when the shelf baffle 3 rotates. When the shelf baffle 3 rotates and tilts downward, the auxiliary support bar 8 provides bottom support for the front of the lower end of the shelf baffle to prevent the shelf baffle 3 from over-turning and causing the goods to slide out of control, thereby ensuring the safety of the goods. At the same time, it shares the weight of the shelf baffle 3 and the goods, reduces the pressure on the drive device, and extends its service life.

[0038] Cargo information recording and identification function: The card slot 302 on the front side of the shelf baffle 3 and the internal signal receiver 303 constitute the information recording and identification part, which can record the information of the goods placed on the shelf baffle 3. The cargo information can be obtained by scanning the signal receiver 303 with an external barcode scanner, which facilitates cargo management, inventory and search, and improves warehouse management efficiency.

[0039] Palletizing: The docking assembly on the back of the rack cabinet 1, including the mounting frame 9 and the pallet 901, works together to flexibly adjust the number of palletizing units 1 according to the size of the indoor space and customer needs. The clip-on connection between the pallet 901 and the mounting frame 9 not only facilitates installation but also provides a secure connection, ensuring the overall stability of multiple palletized units 1.

[0040] Protective housing 6 enhances equipment stability and safety: In addition to protecting the micromotor 5 from dust, moisture, and other harmful agents, its fixed connection to the shelf cabinet 1 and its inherent shape enhance the overall structural strength of the shelf. When the shelf is subjected to external impact or vibration, protective housing 6 provides a buffering effect, minimizing impacts on components such as the micromotor 5 and shelf baffle 3, ensuring proper operation of the equipment. The ventilation filter 7 not only ensures heat dissipation from the motor but also prevents dust from entering, further enhancing the motor's stability and service life.

[0041] The overall structural design improves space utilization: The adjustable angle of the shelf baffles 3 and the stackable design of multiple shelves 1 allow for flexible storage adjustments based on the volume and quantity of goods within limited storage space. For example, for larger goods but smaller quantities, the inclination angle of the shelf baffles 3 can be increased and the number of stacking layers of the shelf cabinets 1 can be increased to improve vertical space utilization. Furthermore, the rational layout and angle adjustment of the shelf baffles 3 also facilitate the classified storage and management of goods, making the storage space more organized and orderly.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any other limitation to the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may utilize the above-disclosed technical content to modify or remodel the present invention into equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent variations, and modifications to the above embodiments that do not depart from the technical content of the present invention and are based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
