[0035] Specifically, the fixed column 109 is a non-movable shelf column installed on the wall or the ground; it is mainly used to support the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire mobile shelving 110 structure. In this embodiment, a terminal intelligent column screen of the entire shelving is installed on the fixed column for displaying the shelving operation status, file query, announcement display and other functions.

[0036] The movable column 108 refers to a shelf column that can move freely along the track or guide rail. The movable column 108 is mainly used to store files and items, making it convenient for users to quickly retrieve the items they need. The movable column 108 is equipped with an electronic screen that displays the column number, location information, temperature and humidity, shelf status, number of people entering and exiting, etc., to improve space utilization efficiency and access convenience.

[0037] In the practical application of this embodiment, both the multi-beam transmitter 101 and the multi-beam receiver 102 can transmit or receive eight-beam infrared light.

[0038] In the practical application of this embodiment, the square column tube of the multi-beam transmitter 101 is the first square column tube 103, and the square column tube of the multi-beam receiver 102 is the second square column tube 104, the length of the second square column tube 104 being longer than the length of the first square column tube 103.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the length of the second square cylindrical tubes 104 at both ends of the multi-beam receiver 102 is 46mm, the length of the first square cylindrical tubes 103 at both ends of the multi-beam transmitter 101 is 37mm, and a 25.760mm diameter section is provided between the multi-beam transmitter 101 and the multi-beam receiver 102. 2 The opening is made of translucent acrylic material and is completely closed.

[0040] In the practical application of this embodiment, both the first square column tube 103 and the second square column tube 104 are hollow.

[0041] In the practical application of this embodiment, the multi-beam transmitter 101 and multi-beam receiver 102 of the first detection system 105 are respectively installed at a height of at least 15cm above the ground.

[0042] In the practical application of this embodiment, the multi-beam transmitter 101 and multi-beam receiver 102 of the second detection system 106 are respectively installed at a height of at least 100 cm above the ground.

[0043] In the practical application of this embodiment, the multi-beam transmitter 101 and multi-beam receiver 102 of the third detection system 107 are respectively installed at a height of at least 100 cm above the ground.

[0044] During installation, the multi-beam transmitter 101 and multi-beam receiver 102 of the first detection system 105 are installed at a height of 15cm above the ground, located at the entrance and end of the mobile shelving's opening and closing channel; the multi-beam transmitter 101 and multi-beam receiver 102 of the second detection system 106 and the third detection system 107 are installed at a height of 100cm above the ground. Through the installation of the first detection system 105, the second detection system 106, and the third detection system 107, the mobile shelving channel is covered by an infrared range with no blind spots.

[0045] In use, the mobile shelving control system is used for pre-judgment of the mobile shelving switch command sending process. This system includes a detection system (first detection system 105, second detection system 106, and third detection system 107), an indicator system (voice, light, and control system), and an indicator system. The indicator system uses voice and light to remind users whether there are obstacles in the mobile shelving aisle. An opening and closing aisle is formed between the moving column 108 and the fixed column 109 of the mobile shelving 110. The detection system uses three sets of infrared light bars deployed on both sides of the opening and closing aisle to determine whether there are obstacles in the mobile shelving 110. When the mobile shelving 110 is working, the mobile shelving control system first uses the detection system to obtain whether there are obstacles in the aisle. If there are obstacles, the mobile shelving control system outputs "obstacle present"; if there are no obstacles, the mobile shelving control system outputs "no status". When the mobile shelving control system receives "obstacle present", it outputs an on / off signal; if there are no obstacles, it continues to operate normally. After receiving the on / off signal, the indicator system issues a voice and light alarm.

[0046] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
