[0002] In the field of logistics storage, shelves are an important tool for efficient storage of goods. With the rapid development of e-commerce and the increasing complexity of supply chain management, the demand for logistics storage is also growing. Traditional storage shelves can provide basic storage functions, such as flexible space adjustment, fire and moisture prevention, etc.

[0003] Currently, in order to improve the efficiency of goods searching and restocking, some conventional means are generally adopted in the industry. For example, some warehouses use a label system to identify the location of each piece of goods through barcodes or RFID tags, thereby helping workers quickly locate the target. Although this method can improve work efficiency to a certain extent, it still relies on manual intervention. In particular, in the case of frequent changes in the location of goods, traditional methods are difficult to update inventory information in real time, resulting in a time-consuming and laborious process of searching for goods.

[0032] The following will be described in detail in combination with the drawings Figures 1-2 The present application will be further described in detail.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application discloses an intelligent storage shelf, which can improve the efficiency of searching goods and replenishing goods.

[0034] The intelligent storage shelf provided by the embodiment of the present application refers to Figure 1 , comprising a shelf body 1, a shelf prompt lamp 2 and a grating opposite-acting module 3. The shelf body 1 has a plurality of storage layers 11, and each storage layer 11 is provided with a goods prompt lamp 5. The grating opposite-acting module 3 comprises a transmitter 31 and a receiver 32, which are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the storage layer 11 and are used for detecting whether there is goods in the storage layer 11.

[0035] Specifically, the shelf prompt lamp 2 is arranged on the top of the shelf body 1 and is used for positioning the position of the shelf in the warehouse, so as to facilitate the staff to search. The shelf prompt lamp 2 is connected to the computer through an electric wire and is centrally controlled. When the staff needs to search for target goods, the information of the goods is input into the computer, and after the computer is queried, the shelf indicator lamp of the shelf where the goods are located is turned on.

[0036] The grating opposite-acting module 3 is composed of the transmitter 31 and the receiver 32. The transmitter 31 and the receiver 32 are respectively fixed on the upper and lower sides of the storage layer 11 and form a closed detection area. When there is no object in the area, the transmitter 31 emits a light signal, which is received by the receiver 32. When an object (such as goods) enters the area, the light signal is blocked, and the receiver 32 sends a signal to the computer after receiving the signal change, so as to record the inventory information. In addition, the bar code or two-dimensional code recording the information of the goods is pasted on the storage layer 11, and the recording of the information of the goods is realized through a scanning device.

[0037] Further, the storage layer 11 is provided with a goods basket 4, and the goods basket 4 is located between the transmitter 31 and the receiver 32. The side wall of the basket 4 is provided with a mesh. When the basket 4 is empty, the light emitted by the transmitter 31 can pass through the basket 4 and be received by the receiver 32. When the basket 4 is not empty, the transmission of the light is blocked, so that whether the basket 4 is empty or not can be accurately detected.

[0038] Referring to Figure 2 In addition, as a preferred embodiment of the present application, the grating opposite-acting module 3 can also be arranged at the entrance and exit of the storage layer 11, and whether the basket 4 is empty can be judged by sensing the number of times of passing of hands or goods. Specifically, when there are a plurality of goods in the basket 4, the correspondence between the number of times of taking the goods and the number of goods in the basket 4 can be detected, for example, when there are five goods in the basket 4 and the number of times of taking is also five, it is judged that the basket 4 is empty.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 or Figure 2The storage layer 11 is provided with a goods storage position, and a basket 4 is arranged in each goods storage position. The goods prompt lamp 5 is arranged on the goods storage position. The goods prompt lamp 5 comprises a light head and a controller, and the controller is used for controlling the light head to be turned off. The goods prompt lamp 5 provides visual guidance in the goods storage and taking process, and helps the staff to quickly locate the target position. The controller can be an infrared induction switch, which is arranged at the entrance of the storage layer 11. When the goods are taken, the infrared induction switch can be manually triggered to turn off the light head, so as to avoid misleading the staff.

[0040] In addition to the infrared induction switch, a touch switch or a key switch can also be used. The light head can be turned off by waving or patting.

[0041] Further, the basket 4 is provided with a shielding part corresponding to the infrared induction switch. When the basket 4 passes through the entrance of the storage layer 11, the shielding part passes by the infrared induction switch, so as to control the light head to be turned off. The shielding part can be a simple baffle, which can effectively block the infrared rays. In addition, the infrared induction switch is electrically connected with the goods prompt lamp 2. When the infrared induction switch is shielded, the goods prompt lamp 5 and the goods prompt lamp 2 can be turned off at the same time.

[0042] In order to realize the above technical scheme, the related circuit structure and communication mode design adopt the conventional technical means in the field.

[0043] The implementation principle of the embodiment is that the cooperation of the grating opposite-acting module 3 and the infrared induction switch realizes real-time monitoring and visual management in the goods storage and taking process. The grating opposite-acting module 3 can accurately detect the presence or absence of goods, and the infrared induction switch is responsible for automatically turning off the light when the goods move, so as to avoid misleading. The whole system has high automation, and greatly improves the efficiency and safety of the logistics storage.

[0044] When the intelligent storage rack is used, when the goods are searched, the goods information is searched on the system, the goods prompt lamp 2 of the goods corresponding to the goods rack is turned on, and the goods prompt lamp 5 of the corresponding position on the goods rack is turned on, so that the goods can be conveniently searched. The two-dimensional code on the goods rack can also be scanned to confirm whether the goods in the basket 4 are the target goods. After the goods are taken, the hand can be waved in front of the goods prompt lamp 5 to turn off, or the multi-color indicator lamp can be directly pat to turn off.

[0045] When the goods are replenished, the goods prompt lamp 2 of the corresponding goods rack and the goods prompt lamp 5 of the corresponding position of the goods rack are turned on, so as to conveniently prompt the person to replenish the goods in the goods rack.

[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
