It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of this utility model.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a cargo height and weight limit platform, including a weighing pallet 1, a controller 2, a light curtain sensor 3, and two uprights 4. The weighing pallet 1 is horizontally arranged in the left-right direction, and the two uprights 4 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the weighing pallet 1. The light curtain sensor 3 includes a light curtain generator 31 and a light curtain receiver 32. The light curtain generator 31 is horizontally arranged in the front-back direction on one of the uprights 4, and the light curtain receiver 32 is horizontally arranged in the front-back direction on the other upright. 4. The light curtain receiver 32 is used to receive the light curtain signal emitted by the light curtain generator 31. The weighing pallet 1, the light curtain generator 31, and the light curtain receiver 32 are all electrically connected to the controller 2. The pallet 6, on which the goods are placed, is placed in the middle of the upper end of the weighing pallet 1. In this way, a forklift can transport the pallet containing the goods to the upper end of the weighing pallet. At this time, the weighing pallet will weigh the goods to determine whether the goods are overweight. If the upper end of the goods blocks the light path of the light curtain sensor, the goods can be considered to be overweight. In this embodiment, the controller can be an ARM series microcontroller. In this embodiment, the controller can be electrically connected to the host computer of the unattended warehouse.
[0036] in, Figure 1 The dashed line in the figure represents the light curtain between the light curtain generator 31 and the light curtain receiver 32. The light curtain generator 31 and the light curtain receiver 32 need to be at the same height, with their two ends aligned, and aligned with or protruding from the two ends of the weighing tray.
[0037] like Figures 3-6As shown, the weighing pallet 1 in the above technical solution includes a base plate 11 and multiple weighing feet 12. The base plate 11 is horizontally arranged in the left-right direction, and multiple weighing feet 12 are spaced apart at the lower end of the base plate 11. Two uprights 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the base plate 11. The multiple weighing feet 12 are all electrically connected to the controller 2. A pallet 6 holding goods is placed in the middle of the upper end of the base plate 11. Its structure is simple, and the multiple weighing feet cooperate with the base plate to weigh the goods. The structure of the weighing feet 12 is similar to that of anchor bolts, but it integrates a weighing sensor, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0038] The base plate 11 in the above technical solution is a square hollow plate, and a weighing scale foot 12 is provided at each corner of the lower end of the base plate 11. Its structure is simple and aesthetically pleasing.
[0039] like Figures 2-6 As shown, in the above technical solution, guide strips 13 are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper end of the base plate 11 along the front-back direction, and the upper ends of the two guide strips 13 are bent to be far apart from each other. The two guide strips 13 are used to guide the tray 6 to be centered in the left-right direction on the upper end of the base plate 11, so that when the tray is placed on the upper end of the base plate, it can be centered in the left-right direction by the two guide strips. Two guide bodies 14 are provided at intervals along the left-right direction on both the front and back sides of the base plate 11, and the upper end of each guide body 14 is bent to be away from the middle of the base plate 11. The four guide bodies 14 are used to guide the tray 6 to be centered in the front-back direction on the upper end of the base plate 11, so that when the tray is placed on the upper end of the base plate, it can be centered in the front-back direction by the four guide bodies.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the two guide strips and four guide bodies enclose a square area at the upper end of the base plate (this area matches the size of the pallet), which allows the pallet to be positioned on the base plate, facilitating the subsequent unmanned forklift to accurately dock with the pallet to pick up and deliver the pallet and goods into the warehouse.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the support frame 4 in the above technical solution is a height-adjustable frame, so that the heights of the light curtain generator 31 and the light curtain receiver 32 can be adjusted as needed.
[0042] The above technical solution describes that the lower end of the upright frame 4 is provided with leveling anchor bolts 41, so that the upright frame can be leveled while its height is adjusted.
[0043] In the above technical solution, both the front and rear ends of the support frame 4 are vertically equipped with length adjustment rods 42. The two ends of the light curtain generator 31 and the light curtain receiver 32 are respectively connected to the upper ends of the corresponding two length adjustment rods 42. The structure is simple, which makes the height adjustment of the entire support frame more convenient.
[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, the above technical solution also includes an alarm 5, which is electrically connected to the controller 2. This allows the alarm 5 to issue an alarm signal when the goods are overweight or overheight. The alarm 5 can be an audible and visual alarm. In this embodiment, when the controller controls the alarm to issue an alarm signal, the alarm will automatically stop after 5-10 seconds.
[0045] like Figure 9 As shown, the above technical solution includes multiple weighing pallets 1, which are arranged sequentially in the left-right direction between the two uprights 4. This allows multiple weighing pallets to share a single light curtain sensor, thus reducing equipment cost. In this case, multiple weighing pallets 1 are electrically connected to the controller. Preferably, there are 2-5 weighing pallets 1 (which can be 2, 3, 4 or 5), resulting in a simple structure.
[0046] In this embodiment, the controller can be installed in the adjacent control cabinet, while the alarm can be installed on any stand.
[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the support frame 4 includes a base 43, and the lower end of the base 43 is provided with a plurality of leveling anchor bolts (preferably, one leveling anchor bolt can be provided at each corner of the lower end of the base 43). The length adjusting rod includes a rod sleeve 421, a rod body 422, and a locking bolt 423. The rod sleeve is vertically mounted on the base, and the rod body 422 is inserted into the rod sleeve 421 through the upper end of the rod sleeve 421. A screw hole is provided on the upper side wall of the rod sleeve 421, and the locking bolt is threaded into the screw hole. Bolt 423 is used to tighten the locking bolt to lock the rod body onto the rod sleeve, or to loosen the locking bolt to allow the rod body to be adjusted in height relative to the rod sleeve. The upper end of the rod body forms the upper end of an adjustable rod. The upright frame also includes multiple tie rods 44, which are arranged between two rod sleeves, and each tie rod is connected to both ends of the two rod sleeves. In this embodiment, the base can be a square iron plate, which gives it a certain weight, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the upright frame and making it more stable. Preferably, three tie rods can be provided, two of which can be arranged in an "X" shape, and the remaining tie rod is arranged horizontally along the front-back direction.
