Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of warehouse material management, specifically to an intelligent shelf. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional warehousing methods require manual searching of shelves and goods, resulting in low efficiency and wasting significant time and manpower. However, with technological advancements, intelligent shelving is gradually becoming a key technology in the warehousing industry. Intelligent shelving uses sensors and LED lights installed on the shelves to locate and identify shelves and goods. Based on system settings, the LED lights flash, guiding workers to quickly and accurately find the required shelves and goods, thus improving work efficiency.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the sensors of smart shelves are usually infrared photocell sensors, which are easily affected by the lighting environment and may cause misjudgment. They are also difficult to detect goods with relatively transparent materials, have low recognition accuracy, are not very sensitive, and have a high error rate, which is not conducive to improving the efficiency of warehousing operations. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent shelf that addresses the problem of low recognition accuracy in existing intelligent shelves, which hinders the improvement of warehousing efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A smart shelf includes:

[0007] The frame has multiple placement compartments, each containing a sensor and an indicator light that indicates whether the compartment is in a placement state or an empty state. The indicator light is located on the frame at the entrance of each placement compartment. The sensor includes a detector located in each placement compartment and a trigger spring that is triggered by the detector or remains in a normal state.

[0008] The controller has its input terminal electrically connected to the sensing device, and its first output terminal electrically connected to the indicator light; and

[0009] The display has a storage unit inside it. The second output terminal of the controller is electrically connected to the storage unit, and the display is electrically connected to the third output terminal of the controller.

[0010] Preferably, the multiple placement compartments are provided on the frame with a multi-level shelf structure with multiple compartments arranged at intervals on each level.

[0011] Preferably, the indicator light is an LED multi-color light.

[0012] Preferably, the detector is a Hall sensor and the trigger spring is a magnetic sheet.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the trigger spring is oscillating inside the placement chamber, facing or away from the entrance of the placement chamber, and a torsion spring is provided on the oscillation shaft of the trigger spring. The detector is located on the inner side of the entrance of the placement chamber, facing the trigger spring.

[0014] Preferably, the indicator lights on the same layer are arranged alternately on the frame.

[0015] Preferably, the frame is equipped with a battery that powers the sensing device and the indicator light.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom surface of the frame is provided with multiple casters, and the top surface of the frame is provided with an alarm light that is electrically connected to the controller.

[0017] Preferably, one end of the trigger spring is provided with a slot.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0019] 1. In this utility model, the status of the storage bin is distinguished by a detector, a trigger spring, and an indicator light. When materials are placed into the storage bin, the indicator light is on; after the materials are taken out, the indicator light is off. The position of the materials to be retrieved can also be indicated by the color change or flashing of the indicator light. In this way, automatic detection of material storage and retrieval can be achieved, improving detection accuracy, reducing error rate, and helping to improve the efficiency of warehousing work.

[0020] 2. In this utility model, the display screen allows for a direct observation of the storage status of the shelving unit. The storage unit is used to store or record storage information, facilitating management when there are a large number of shelving units. Simultaneously, when storing or retrieving materials, the storage status of the shelving unit is readily available, enabling accurate location of the required items or placement of materials in the appropriate storage compartments, thus reducing management complexity.

[0039] Example

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an intelligent shelf, including a frame 10, a controller 11, and a display 12. The frame 10 is provided with multiple storage compartments 101. Each storage compartment 101 is equipped with a sensor 102 and an indicator light 103 indicating whether the compartment is in a storage or empty state. The indicator light 103 is located on the frame 10 at the entrance of the storage compartment 101. In a preferred embodiment, the indicator light 103 can be located inside the storage compartment 101, and a through hole 106 is provided on the frame 10 to align with the indicator light 103. The light from the indicator light 103 can pass through the through hole 106. The built-in indicator light 103 can prevent damage from impacts and extend its service life.

[0041] Specifically, the sensing device 102 includes a detector (not shown) disposed within the placement chamber 101 and a trigger spring 1021 that is triggered by the detection end of the detector or remains in a normal state. The input end of the controller 11 is electrically connected to the sensing device 102, the first output end of the controller 11 is electrically connected to the indicator light 103, the display 12 has a storage unit 121, the second output end of the controller 11 is electrically connected to the storage unit 121, and the display 12 is electrically connected to the third output end of the controller 11. In a preferred embodiment, the detector is a Hall sensor; the trigger spring 1021 is a magnet, or a sensing magnet 10212 is disposed on the side of the trigger spring 1021 opposite to the detector.

[0042] Furthermore, one end of the trigger spring 1021 is oscillating toward or away from the entrance of the placement chamber 101 within the placement chamber 101, and a torsion spring 10211 is provided on the oscillation shaft of the trigger spring 1021. The detector is located on the inner side of the entrance of the placement chamber 101 facing the trigger spring 1021.

[0043] Initially, the trigger spring 1021 is upright under the action of the torsion spring 10211 and aligned close to the detector. When material is placed into the placement bin 101, the material presses down on the trigger spring 1021, causing it to move away from the detector. The detector sends a feedback signal to the controller 11, illuminating the indicator light 103. This serves to indicate that material has been placed in the placement bin 101, allowing for intuitive awareness that material is stored there. After the material is removed, the trigger spring 1021 automatically resets under the action of the torsion spring 10211 and moves closer to the detector. The detector sends a feedback signal to the controller 11, turning off the indicator light 103. This automatic detection of material insertion and removal improves detection accuracy, reduces error rates, and enhances the efficiency of warehousing operations.

[0044] Furthermore, the status of the placement compartment 101 can be distinguished by the lighting mode of the indicator light 103. For example, when the indicator light 103 is constantly on, the placement compartment 101 contains materials; when the indicator light 103 is flashing, the placement compartment 101 is ready to be retrieved, thus indicating the location of the materials to be retrieved. Alternatively, the status of the placement compartment 101 can be distinguished by the color and / or on / off state of the indicator light 103. For example, when the indicator light 103 is blue, the placement compartment 101 contains materials; when the indicator light 103 is red, the placement compartment 101 is ready to be retrieved; when the indicator light 103 is off, the placement compartment 101 is empty. In this way, by manually setting different states of the indicator light 103, the status of the placement compartment 101 can be intuitively determined, improving the convenience and practicality of use.

[0045] Furthermore, the design of the display 12 allows for a direct observation of the storage status of the racks 10. The storage unit 121 is used to store or record storage information, facilitating management when there are a large number of racks 10. Simultaneously, when storing or retrieving materials, the storage status of the racks 10 can be known, enabling accurate location of the required materials or placement in the corresponding storage compartment 101, reducing management complexity.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the rack 10 is equipped with a battery (not shown) to power the sensor 102 and the indicator light 103. This ensures that in the event of a power outage, the battery can be used to ensure the normal operation of the smart rack's sensor 102 and indicator light 103, thereby ensuring the normal operation of warehouse management.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, multiple storage compartments 101 are provided on the frame 10 with a multi-level shelf structure, with multiple compartments spaced apart on each level. This increases the number of storage compartments 101 on the frame 10, allowing for the storage of more materials. The storage status of multiple storage compartments 101 can be monitored simultaneously, thereby expanding the management scope of the intelligent shelf and improving the efficiency of warehousing operations.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the indicator light 103 is an LED multi-color light. Thus, the state of the storage compartment 101 can be distinguished by the color change of the indicator light 103, so that personnel can more intuitively observe the state of the storage compartment 101.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the indicator lights 103 on the same layer are staggered on the frame 10. For example, adjacent indicator lights 103 can be staggered vertically to avoid confusion when there are many storage compartments 101 on the same layer, making it difficult to visually observe the status of the storage compartments 101.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom surface of the frame 10 is provided with multiple casters 104, and the top surface of the frame 10 is provided with an alarm light 105 that is electrically connected to the controller 11.

[0051] Specifically, the alarm light 105 can be turned on so that personnel can quickly and accurately find the location of the required shelf, improving work efficiency. The shelf 10 can also be pushed by the casters 104 on the bottom of the shelf 10 to manage the arrangement of the shelf 10.

[0052] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the trigger spring 1021 is provided with a slot 10213. The slot 10213 is used to hold the material so that the material can be placed accurately and stably when it is placed into the placement chamber 101, and is not easy to sway, so as to detect the status of the placement chamber 101 more accurately.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
