Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transportation, in particular to an in-box identification device and a rail forklift using the same. Background Art
[0002] The interior of a container truck's cargo box is typically a regular rectangular parallelepiped. However, over time, its sidewalls, roof, and bottom surfaces will deform to varying degrees. While these deformations don't affect the container's usability during standard assembly, they can hinder precision assembly. For example, if a specific area of the container (a sidewall or corner) develops an inward depression, the area will shrink. While five containers can normally be loaded horizontally without any deformation, with deformation, only four can be loaded, rendering the fifth container unusable. During precision assembly, the truck defaults to loading five containers, which can damage the containers during loading. Even after successfully loading five containers, unloading can still present difficulties (e.g., too close packing, causing deformation or damage to the containers themselves, or forklifts unable to position their forks during unloading).
[0003] The current common solution is manual inspection, which involves having an inspection worker enter the container to inspect the contents before loading. This approach is time-consuming and labor-intensive, reducing overall container loading efficiency. Furthermore, the quality of manual inspection and measurement varies depending on the worker's experience and on-site conditions, making manual operations less reliable. Furthermore, workers entering the container can also lead to safety incidents. For example, loading operations may begin before a worker has completed their inspection, trapping them inside the container and potentially causing injuries from collisions with loading machinery.
[0004] Existing loading forklifts do not have equipment that can identify what is inside the container. Utility Model Content
