The stereoscopic warehouse goods shelf can greatly improve the space utilization rate of the warehouse while saving land resources, and has good economic benefits.
[0004] With the passage of time, the past built stereoscopic warehouse goods shelves will have more and more safety hazards. Compared with the whole abandoned shelf reaching a certain service life, it is very economic and social to periodically evaluate the health of the shelf and replace the local optimization.
[0005] Common shelf failures include three categories of structural damage, structural corrosion and structural loosening. Among them, structural damage and structural corrosion can be distinguished by visual identification method, while structural loosening failure is difficult to be distinguished by visual method because the detection size is small and the difference is not obvious. For this kind of failure, the vibration signal collection method is often used for identification.
[0006] However, manual vibration signal collection has many problems, such as complex and huge shelf structure, tedious and low-efficiency manual collection, random manual excitation force, inaccurate manual excitation position, and manual difficulty in reaching any position for excitation due to the multiple longitudinal structure of the shelf.

[0020] Reference numerals in the attached diagram: 1. Main control board; 2. Vibration transmission device; 3. DC brushless motor; 4. Vibration hammer; 5. Interface. Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make this utility model more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a vibration module for detecting looseness in a four-way shuttle rack. The specific working process is as follows: First, the vibration excitation point and vibration signal measurement point are determined through simulation or other methods. The four-way shuttle controller then controls the shuttle to reach the designated point. The four-way shuttle carries a looseness detection vibration transmission device 2, a main controller, and an acoustic wave instrument. The main controller is connected to the input terminal of the main control board 1 of the vibration transmission device, and the output terminal of the main control board 1 of the vibration module is connected to a DC brushless motor 3.
[0023] After the four-way shuttle arrives at the designated position, the main control of the four-way shuttle sends the arrival signal and the required excitation frequency signal to the input terminal of the main control board 1 of the excitation transmission device 2.
[0024] When the main control board 1 of the excitation vibration device 2 receives the signal, the output end thereof outputs according to the vibration frequency of the input signal, controls the DC brushless motor 3 to rotate at a specified speed for a period of time, thereby driving the crank to reciprocate, the reciprocating speed of the slider is controlled by controlling the rotating speed of the crank, thereby changing the excitation frequency, and further controlling the excitation hammer 4 below to knock the shelf, and the four-way shuttle vehicle carrying the sound wave instrument collects the vibration signal at the specified point and stores it in the sound wave instrument; the above process is repeated until the whole test process is completed, the test result is obtained and analyzed, and it is judged whether the shelf is loose.
[0025] The main control, the excitation vibration device 2 and the sound wave instrument are connected through the power supply and the interface 5, and the output shaft of the DC brushless motor 3 is connected with the crankshaft of the excitation vibration device through a shaft coupling.
[0026] The core control chip uses STM32F103C8T6 (technical parameters: main frequency: 72MHz; GPIO: 37; power supply voltage: 2-3.6V), which supports I2C, SPI, CAN, USART communication and also contains a GPIO port, and can communicate with the main control of the four-way shuttle vehicle.
[0027] The motor driving chip uses AS4950 (technical parameters: wide voltage power supply 8V-40V, 3.6A peak current driving output, 2A continuous current output capability), which supports 2A continuous current output and 8V-38V voltage output, and is suitable for driving the DC brushless motor required by the excitation module.
[0028] The interface 5 includes the power supply interface required by the excitation module, and various communication interface packages of the main control board.
[0029] The excitation hammer includes four kinds of hammer heads made of rubber, nylon, aluminum or steel, which can be replaced as needed during module installation.
[0030] The specific working principle of judging whether loosening occurs according to the vibration signal is that the sound wave instrument is arranged on the four-way shuttle vehicle, and after the vibration signal is collected, if loosening occurs, the following changes will occur:
[0031] Amplitude change: loosening will reduce the connection stiffness, and the vibration amplitude will usually increase. If the amplitude of the collected vibration signal is obviously higher than the amplitude during normal operation and exceeds the normal fluctuation range, loosening may exist.
[0032] Waveform characteristics: the normal vibration signal waveform is relatively stable and regular, and when loosening occurs, irregular phenomena such as waveform distortion, top cutting or burr may occur.
[0033] By comparing the characteristics of the transmission signal and the standard signal waveform, it is judged whether loosening occurs at the place.
[0034] The application only protects the specific structure of the excitation module for detecting the loosening of the four-way shuttle vehicle shelf, and the principle is not the protection range of the application.
[0035] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not any form and substantial limitation of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the present application, a number of improvements and supplements can be made, and these improvements and supplements should also be considered as the protection range of the present application. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, some changes, modifications and equivalent changes made by using the above disclosed technical content are equivalent embodiments of the present application; at the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolution of the above embodiments according to the essential technology of the present application are still within the scope of the technical scheme of the present application.
