Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of warehouse material management, and in particular to an intelligent material rack that uses gravity and magnetic force to detect the location of materials and has an adjustable warehouse width. Background Technology

[0002] When materials are stored on traditional racks, the storage locations on the racks need to be coded. Access management is achieved by recording and comparing the binding relationship between materials and storage location codes. This method is slow and inefficient. Adding indicator lights to each storage location can guide operators to quickly locate the target storage location, improving efficiency. However, manual scanning of storage location codes and material codes is still required to bind storage locations and materials. Some rack solutions have added sensor monitoring devices to each storage location, eliminating the need to scan storage location codes when storing and retrieving materials, further improving efficiency. They can also automatically detect incorrect storage and retrieval operations, improving accuracy. However, materials usually come in various shapes and sizes, requiring storage location widths of varying widths. Storage location codes, indicator lights, and sensor monitoring devices are usually designed for fixed storage location widths, which lacks flexibility when handling the compatible storage and retrieval of materials of different sizes. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides an intelligent material rack that uses gravity and magnetic force to detect material storage and retrieval based on the principle of magnetic field induction, uses the gravity of the material itself to trigger the action of the sensing mechanism, uses magnetic force to reset the sensing mechanism, and allows the width of the storage space to be adjusted according to the size of the material. Each storage space has a corresponding sensing sensor and LED indicator.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A smart material rack that uses gravity and magnetism to detect material storage and retrieval and has an adjustable storage space width includes a front crossbeam assembly, a left support, a right support, a rear crossbeam, storage space baffles, and locking screws. The left support and the right support are respectively connected to the front crossbeam assembly and the rear crossbeam via the locking screws. The upper surface of the rear crossbeam has a plurality of evenly distributed baffle rear end mounting holes, and the upper surface of the front crossbeam assembly has a plurality of evenly distributed baffle front end mounting holes. The rear end and front end of the storage space baffles are respectively inserted into the baffle rear end mounting holes and the baffle front end mounting holes.

[0006] Preferably, the front crossbeam assembly includes a front crossbeam, a circuit board, screws, wires, a shift assembly, and a storage compartment merging clip. The front crossbeam is provided with studs, shift mounting bosses, shift mounting holes, and C-shaped wire mounting slots. The circuit board is mounted on the studs by the screws, and the wires are installed in the C-shaped wire mounting slots. The shift assembly is provided with a shift rotating shaft, which is engaged in the shift mounting holes.

[0007] Preferably, the circuit board is equipped with a Hall sensor, an LED bead, and a microprocessor. The Hall sensor corresponds one-to-one with the LED bead and is electrically connected to the microprocessor. The microprocessor receives the electrical signal from the Hall sensor and outputs an electrical signal to the LED bead.

[0008] Preferably, the shift assembly is provided with a rear end mounting hole and a front end mounting hole for the card, and the lower surface of the merging card is provided with a rear end mounting boss and a front end mounting boss for the card. When adjacent shift assemblies are merged, the rear end mounting boss of the card is inserted into the rear end mounting hole of the card, and the front end mounting boss of the card is inserted into the front end mounting hole of the card.

[0009] Preferably, the shift assembly is provided with a reset magnet mounting hole and a sensing magnet mounting hole, wherein a reset magnet is installed in the reset magnet mounting hole and a sensing magnet is installed in the sensing magnet mounting hole.

[0010] Preferably, when the storage space baffle has two baffles respectively inserted into the front mounting holes of two adjacent baffles and the rear mounting holes of two adjacent baffles, a standard storage space is formed, and narrow materials with a width less than or equal to the net width of the standard storage space can be stored there.

[0011] Preferably, there are several adjacent storage location baffles. After the several storage location baffles are pulled out from the front mounting holes and rear mounting holes of the several adjacent baffles, the several storage location merging clips are sequentially installed on the adjacent baffle assemblies to form a wide storage location formed by merging several standard storage locations. Wide materials with a width less than or equal to the width of the wide storage location can be stored therein.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The storage space width is adjustable, and several adjacent gear shift assemblies can be merged and split by loading and unloading the storage space merging card. When materials are stored or retrieved, several adjacent gear shift assemblies are merged and rotated simultaneously. Several Hall sensors simultaneously detect the approach or departure of several simultaneously moving induction magnets and send electrical signals to the microprocessor. After the merged adjacent gear shift assemblies are split, they rotate independently. The Hall sensor corresponding to each gear shift assembly detects the approach or departure of the corresponding induction magnet individually, realizing the detection of storage and retrieval actions and compatible storage of materials of different widths.

[0014] 2. When material is stored, the shift assembly rotates under the action of the material's gravity. The induction magnet on the shift assembly moves away from the Hall sensor, and the electrical signal inside the Hall sensor changes. It sends the electrical signal change information to the microprocessor, which determines that material has been stored. At the same time, the reset magnet on the shift assembly moves away from the wire installed in the front crossbeam.

[0015] 3. When the material is removed, the gravity of the material disappears, and the shift assembly rotates to its original position under the magnetic force of the reset magnet. When the sensing magnet approaches the Hall sensor, the electrical signal inside the Hall sensor changes, and the electrical signal change information is sent to the microprocessor. The microprocessor then determines that the material has been removed.

[0016] 4. The sensing magnet and Hall sensor are non-contact sensing, avoiding the influence of factors such as dust, contact oxidation and light interference.

[0017] 5. The shift assembly resets under magnetic force, without the need for deformation of springs or leaf springs to provide force.

[0018] 6. The microprocessor receives changes in the electrical signal from the Hall sensor and controls the on / off state and color of the LED beads to quickly remind operators of work status information. Attached Figure Description

The upper surface of the rear crossbeam 4 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed baffle rear end mounting holes 7, and the upper surface of the front crossbeam assembly 1 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed baffle front end mounting holes 8. The rear end and front end of the storage space baffle 5 are respectively inserted into the baffle rear end mounting holes 7 and the baffle front end mounting holes 8. The front crossbeam assembly 1 includes a front crossbeam 9, a circuit board 10, screws 15, wires 19, a shift assembly 20, and a storage compartment merging clip 22. The front crossbeam 9 is provided with studs 14, shift mounting bosses 16, shift mounting holes 17, and C-shaped wire mounting grooves 18. The circuit board 10 is mounted on the studs 14 by the screws 15, and the wires 19 are installed in the C-shaped wire mounting grooves. The shift assembly 20 is provided with a shift rotation shaft 21, which is engaged in the shift mounting holes 17. Hall sensors 11, LED beads 12, and a microprocessor 13 are mounted on the circuit board 10. The Hall sensors 11 and LED beads 12 correspond one-to-one and are electrically connected to the microprocessor 13. The microprocessor 13 receives the electrical signals from the Hall sensors 11 and outputs electrical signals to the LED beads 12. The shift assembly 20 is provided with a rear mounting hole 24 and a front mounting hole 26 for the card. The lower surface of the storage location merging card 22 is provided with a rear mounting boss 23 and a front mounting boss 25 for the card. When adjacent shift assemblies 20 are merged, the rear mounting boss 23 is inserted into the rear mounting hole 24, and the front mounting boss is inserted into the front mounting hole 26. The shift assembly 20 is provided with a reset magnet mounting hole 27 and a sensing magnet mounting hole 29. A reset magnet 28 is installed in the reset magnet mounting hole 27, and a sensing magnet 30 is installed in the sensing magnet mounting hole 29. When two storage location baffles 5 are inserted into two adjacent baffle front mounting holes 8 and two adjacent baffle rear mounting holes 7, a standard storage location is formed, and narrow materials 31 with a width less than or equal to the net width of the standard storage location can be stored therein. There are several adjacent storage location baffles 5. After several storage location baffles 5 are pulled out from the front mounting holes 8 and rear mounting holes 7 of several adjacent baffles, several storage location merging clips 22 are sequentially installed on adjacent baffle assemblies 20 to form a wide storage location formed by merging several standard storage locations. Wide materials 32 with a width less than or equal to the width of the wide storage location can be stored therein.

[0032] When a narrow material 31 with a width less than or equal to the net width of a standard storage location is stored, the shift assembly 20 corresponding to the standard storage location rotates under the gravity of the narrow material 31. The reset magnet 28 moves away from the wire 19, and the sensing magnet 30 moves away from the corresponding Hall sensor 11. The electrical signal inside the Hall sensor 11 changes, and sends the electrical signal change information to the microprocessor 13. The microprocessor 13 determines that the narrow material 31 has been stored and sends a control command to the LED bead 12.

[0033] When the material is removed, the gravity of the material no longer acts on the gear shift assembly 20. The gear shift assembly 20 rotates and resets under the magnetic attraction of the reset magnet 28 and the wire 19. The sensing magnet 30 approaches the Hall sensor 11, and the internal electrical signal of the Hall sensor 11 changes. It sends the electrical signal change information to the microprocessor 13. The microprocessor 13 determines that the material has been removed and sends a control command to the LED bead 12.

[0034] When a wide material 32 with a width greater than the net width of a standard storage location is stored, several storage location baffles 5 of adjacent storage locations are pulled out according to the width of the wide material 32. Several storage location merging clips 22 are sequentially inserted into the mounting holes on the corresponding several adjacent baffle assemblies 20. The merged several adjacent baffle assemblies 20 rotate simultaneously under the gravity of the wide material 32. The internal electrical signals of several Hall sensors 11 change simultaneously, and the electrical signal change information is sent to the microprocessor 13. The microprocessor 13 determines that the wide material 32 has been stored and sends control commands to several LED beads 12. When the wide material 32 is taken out, the merged several adjacent baffle assemblies 20 rotate and reset simultaneously.
