[0030] Example 2

[0031] This embodiment further explains the structure of the counting mechanism 200 based on the technical solution provided in Embodiment 1:

[0032] In some implementations, see Figure 3 As shown, the counting mechanism 200 is provided in multiple sets, and the triggering components 210 of each set of the counting mechanism 200 are respectively set to a track groove 110. Specifically, by having multiple sets of counting mechanisms 200 correspond one-to-one with the track grooves 110, it can be ensured that the status of each stacked beam door 120 is monitored independently, avoiding missed detections and achieving accurate corresponding detection; in addition, the failure of a single set of counting mechanisms 200 will not affect the monitoring of other track grooves 110, improving system reliability; it should be noted that redundant counting mechanisms 200 can be set for each track groove 110, for example, two sets of counting mechanisms 200, to further improve system reliability.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the triggering component 210 consists of a trigger plate 211 and a metal sheet 212, and the sensing component 220 is a proximity switch. Specifically, the method of stabilizing the trigger signal using the principle of electromagnetic induction has the advantage of strong anti-interference capability; furthermore, by employing the combination of the trigger plate 211, the metal sheet 212, and the proximity switch, compared to methods such as image recognition for monitoring the status of the stacked beam door 120, it has lower cost and is easier to maintain.

[0034] Furthermore, a support frame 300 is mounted on the side of the counting mechanism 200 facing away from the door slot 100. The support frame 300 extends along the width direction of the door slot 100 to facilitate the unified deployment of multiple sets of counting mechanisms 200. In this embodiment, the first end of the trigger plate 211 is rotatably connected to the support frame 300, and the support frame 300 provides a rotation fulcrum for the trigger plate 211 to ensure stable operation of the trigger plate 211. The second end of the trigger plate 211 extends into the track slot 110, and the trigger plate 211 contacts the stacked beam door 120 to drive the metal piece 212 closer to the proximity switch. Furthermore, the proximity switch is located above the support frame 300, and the metal piece 212 is located on top of the trigger plate 211, so that the positions of the proximity switch and the metal piece 212 are matched to improve the sensing accuracy.

[0035] Further, the counting mechanism 200 is provided with a protection cover 400 with a longitudinal section in U shape on the side opposite to the door slot 100, the opening of the protection cover 400 is arranged towards the door slot 100, the support frame 300 is arranged in the opening of the protection cover 400, and the proximity switch is arranged on the top of the protection cover 400. Specifically, the arrangement of the protection cover 400 can protect the counting mechanism 200 and does not affect the action of the triggering member 210.

[0036] Further, the support frame 300 is correspondingly provided with a torsion spring 230 corresponding to each counting mechanism 200, the first free end of the torsion spring 230 is fixedly connected with the top of the triggering plate 211, and the second free end of the torsion spring 230 is fixedly connected with the protection cover 400. Specifically, the arrangement of the torsion spring 230 can realize the automatic reset of the triggering plate 211, so that the triggering plate 211 can be automatically reset after the passage of the stop beam door 120, and the reliability of repeated triggering is ensured; in addition, the arrangement of the torsion spring 230 can also reduce the mechanical jamming and reduce the risk of the triggering plate 211 being stuck, so that the triggering can be stable and the state of the stop beam door 120 being hoisted in / out each time can be accurately acquired.

[0037] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
