[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application.
[0022] The technical solution provided in the embodiment is an intelligent material rack, which comprises a bracket 1 and a rotary motor 5. The bracket 1 comprises vertically layered bearing plates 11. In this embodiment, the circular bearing plates 11 have three layers and are fixed into a whole by four vertical columns arranged in a circumferential direction and a top plate. A rotating disc 2 is installed on each of the bearing plates 11. The geometric center of the rotating disc 2 penetrates the motor shaft of the rotary motor 5. The rotary motor 5 drives the rotating disc 2 to rotate. A material disc is installed on the rotating disc 2. A control unit 4 is installed on the bracket 1 and a camera 3 facing the material disc is installed above each of the bearing plates 11. In this embodiment, the camera 3 of each layer is installed on one of the vertical columns of the bracket 1 close to the upper bearing plate 11, and the control unit 4 is installed on another vertical column close to the top plate. The rotary motor 5 and each of the cameras 3 are in communication connection with the control unit 4. The control unit 4 collects the model and quantity of the materials in the material disc through the camera 3 and records and stores the warehouse in-out data. The camera 3 uploads the information collection signal to the control unit 4. The control unit 4 controls the rotation of the rotating disc 2 through the rotary motor 5.
[0023] The rotating disc 2 further comprises a base 24 and a material disc fixing piece 23. The material disc is fixedly installed on the base 24 through the material disc fixing piece 23. The rotating disc 2 can be conveniently disassembled with the whole material rack by being disassembled. In this embodiment, the material disc fixing piece 23 is provided at the bottom of the material disc and is in a cylindrical shape. The base 24 is provided with a fixing hole position corresponding to the position of the material disc fixing piece 23 at the bottom of the material disc. The cylindrical material disc fixing piece 23 can be inserted into the fixing hole position for fixation. The material disc fixing piece 23 can also be provided on the base 24 and protrude upward, and the bottom of the material disc is provided with a fixing hole or a blind fixing hole. The positioning mode is not limited. The material disc fixing piece 23 can also be provided as a clamping piece.
[0024] In this embodiment, each of the rotating discs 2 has an independent rotary motor 5 and is controlled to rotate independently by the independent rotary motor 5. The rotary motor 5 can use a ring motor. Independent control can reduce the requirement of the whole control on the power of the motor and can independently control the rotating discs 2 of each layer, thereby increasing the flexibility of operation and reducing power consumption.
[0025] The size of the material tray can be adjusted as needed. In the embodiment, the material tray is divided into four sectors in the circumferential direction. The material tray can also be divided into several layers from the inside to the outside in the radial direction. In the embodiment, the material tray is divided into two layers from the inside to the outside, i.e., four inner material trays 21 and four outer material trays 22. The inner material trays 21 and the outer material trays 22 are sectors of different sizes, and the four inner material trays 21 and the four outer material trays 22 are arranged concentrically on the base 24. The inner material trays 21 and the outer material trays 22 are each provided with a material tray fixing member 23 at the bottom. The inner material trays 21 and the outer material trays 22 can be fixed to the base 24 by the material tray fixing members 23. In the embodiment, the cylindrical material tray fixing members 23 protrude on both sides of the bottom surface of the material tray. The upper one can be easily taken out, and the inner material trays 21 and the outer material trays 22 can be easily taken off the base 24 after the operation of the material tray fixing members 23.
[0026] Further, in order to increase the material storage capacity, the material trays on the rotating disc 2 can be vertically stacked into several layers within the layer spacing. The top edge and the bottom edge of the material tray are designed accordingly to be adaptable and firm.
[0027] In addition to the local operation mode, in order to adapt to the use scene of increasing the material rack and improve the intelligent level of the use of the material rack, the control unit 4 can also be connected to the upper computer of the warehouse management through wired or wireless communication. However, when not connected to the network, the control unit 4 is also provided with an operation panel 41. The operation panel 41 is used for local display of the material model on the material tray and local warehouse operation.
[0028] The control unit 4 can collect and record the model and quantity of the material into the warehouse through the camera 3, and display and upload to the upper computer in real time through the operation panel 41. When the material needs to be taken out, the user can select the list of materials to be taken out through remote control or the operation panel 41, and the control unit 4 controls the rotating motor 5 to drive the rotating disc 2 to rotate, so that the inner material tray 3 and the outer material tray 4 that need to be taken out are rotated in front of the user, which is convenient for the user to take the material. The control unit 4 can record and store the time and model quantity of the material into the warehouse and out of the warehouse. When the material is taken out, the control unit 4 checks the remaining material quantity and compares it with the quantity of the list of materials to be taken out, to prevent material taking errors.
[0029] The control unit 4 can also be provided with an alarm device for local alarm when the data in the control unit 4 is incorrect. The control unit 4 can also upload the error information to the upper computer of the warehouse management.
[0030] When the materials are warehoused, different sizes and types of materials can be stored in different inner material trays 21 and outer material trays 22 according to actual needs. After the materials are placed in the inner material trays 21 and the outer material trays 22, the inner material trays 21 and the outer material trays 22 are fixed on the base 24 through the material tray fixing part 23. After all the materials on the turntable 2 are placed, the user can perform the warehousing operation on the operation panel 41, the control unit 4 can collect and record the types and quantities of the materials on the turntable 2 through the camera 3, and display the types and quantities of the materials on the operation panel 41 in real time.
[0031] When the materials need to be delivered, the user can select the list of materials to be taken through remote control or the operation panel 41, the control unit 4 controls the rotating motor 5 to drive the turntable 2 to rotate, so that the inner material tray 21 and the outer material tray 22 needed are rotated in front of the user, facilitating the user to take the materials. After the materials are delivered, the control unit 4 checks the quantity of the remaining materials and compares it with the quantity of the delivered materials, to prevent the error of the delivered materials.
