[0002] In modern manufacturing industry, the material supply efficiency of production line directly affects the overall productivity and operation continuity. The traditional material rack adopts fixed layered storage structure, and relies on artificial inspection or experience judgment to supplement materials. However, with the acceleration of production rhythm, artificial material supplementing is prone to delay, omission and other problems, which leads to production line waiting or material accumulation. Especially for small parts (such as electronic components, precision screws, etc.), the coordination of frequent taking and replenishing is more difficult. Therefore, how to realize the automatic replenishment and real-time state monitoring of materials has become a key requirement to improve manufacturing efficiency.

When taking materials, workers need to find the required materials among the shelves. In order to improve the search efficiency, some material racks will use labels or numbers to identify materials. In addition, some more advanced material racks use electronic tag system, which displays the information of materials through electronic display screen, and workers can quickly find materials according to the prompt. Some material racks are equipped with simple automatic conveying devices, such as conveying belt, which can convey materials from the storage area to the taking position.

The material rack with ordinary shelf structure, since the materials are horizontally placed and relied on artificial searching and taking, not only is inefficient, but also is prone to problems such as disordered material placement and searching error, especially in the case of a large number of material types and quantities. Although the material rack with electronic tag system improves the search efficiency to a certain extent, it still cannot solve the problem of automatic replenishment after taking materials, and needs artificial regular replenishment, which increases the labor cost and time cost. The material rack equipped with simple automatic conveying device has single conveying function, which cannot realize accurate positioning and efficient replenishment of materials, and lacks flexibility in the storage and arrangement of material boxes, which cannot well adapt to the storage needs of different materials.

[0030] The utility model is further illustrated below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 4 shown in the drawings, an intelligent material rack comprises a main rack body 1, an intelligent terminal 5 and an automatic feeding mechanism 6. The main rack body 1 is composed of four vertical racks 11 and several groups of horizontal racks 12, and the horizontal racks 12 and the vertical racks 11 are connected by bolts to form a multi-layer storage structure. Each group of horizontal racks 12 is inclined by 3.2 degrees relative to the horizontal plane. A plurality of groups of fluent strips 2 are installed on the horizontal racks 12, and the fluent strips 2 are separated by partitions 13 to form independent material channels. A main material box 3 and a standby material box 4 are sequentially placed on each group of fluent strips 2, and the two are closely adjacent along the extension direction of the fluent strips 2. The main material box 3 is located at the end of the fluent strip 2 and abuts against the side wall of the horizontal rack 12; when the main material box 3 is taken away, the standby material box 4 rolls to the original position of the main material box 3 along the fluent strip 2 under the action of gravity, thereby realizing automatic replenishment.

[0032] The intelligent terminal 5 is fixed above the horizontal rack 12 close to the main material box 3, and comprises a camera 51 and an infrared sensor 52. The infrared sensor 52 monitors the worker's material taking action in real time, and when a material taking gesture is detected, the camera 51 is triggered to shoot the remaining material in the main material box 3 and upload the data to the management system. Through an image recognition algorithm, the system can calculate the remaining material quantity in real time and generate a replenishment instruction.

The first motor 625 drives the vertical guide rod 622 to drive the horizontal guide rod 621 to move in the vertical direction, and the second motor 626 controls the pushing assembly 63 to move horizontally along the horizontal guide rod 621 through a guide block 623. The full standby material box 4 is placed on the bracket 632 of the pushing assembly 63, and the baffle 6321 on both sides of the bracket 632 is aligned with the partition 13, so that the standby material box 4 is accurately positioned. When the moving assembly 62 sends the pushing assembly 63 to the height and position of the target fluent strip 2, the pneumatic cylinder 631 drives the push rod 633 to push the standby material box 4 into the fluent strip 2. The standby material box 4 then slides along the inclined fluent strip 2 to the rear of the main material box 3, thereby completing the automatic replenishment.

[0034] A top plate 7 is installed on the top of the main rack body 1 to prevent dust from entering; a bottom plate 8 is arranged at the bottom, the bottom plate 8 is adjusted to be horizontal through an adjusting seat 81, and the overall displacement of the material rack is realized through a moving roller 82. This design takes into account the stability and flexibility and can adapt to different workshop layout requirements.
