Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent bookshelf manufacturing technology, specifically a single-layer storage module and intelligent bookshelf with a reasonable structure, which facilitates wiring between multiple shelves and can adapt to the needs of different shelves or cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the efficiency of book shelving and inventory management, RFID-based smart bookshelves have been applied. The principle is to set up an RFID reader / writer mechanism on the shelf or cabinet, attach radio frequency tags to the books, and activate the RFID reader / writer mechanism on the shelf or cabinet to read the radio frequency tags on the books, and determine whether the books are in place based on the reading results.

[0003] These smart bookshelves or cabinets all have a frame or cabinet structure with shelves or partitions. Adjacent partitions divide the space for holding books. The partitions also require antenna components for an RFID reader / writer mechanism, while the cabinet or frame needs to install RFID readers / writers that work in conjunction with the antenna components on the partitions. In traditional smart bookshelves or cabinets, multiple antennas on multiple partitions are connected to a single RFID reader / writer on the cabinet or frame via wiring. During operation, a switching control circuit polls each layer of antennas on the cabinet or frame, obtaining data on the book's location after a complete poll. For shelves or cabinets with many layers, this is obviously inefficient for inventory checks. Furthermore, the traditional structure means that if any antenna on any layer malfunctions or is moved, the entire wiring of the shelf or cabinet needs to be adjusted, making subsequent wiring and maintenance difficult, and multiple cables are hard to conceal. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by proposing a single-layer storage module and intelligent bookshelf with a reasonable structure, convenient wiring between multi-layer shelves, and adaptability to the needs of different shelves or cabinets.

[0005] This utility model achieves its purpose through the following measures:

[0006] A single-layer storage module is characterized by comprising an RF reader, a single-layer storage body, and a bookshelf antenna. The single-layer storage body includes a base plate, and a top cover is fastened to the upper surface of the base plate. The base plate and the top cover are fastened together to form a strip-shaped shelf. The bookshelf antenna is either a shelf-type RF antenna or a vertical bookshelf antenna. When the bookshelf antenna is a shelf-type RF antenna, it is placed in the cavity formed by the fastening of the top cover and the base plate. Slots for wiring are opened at both ends of the top cover. The power line and signal line of the shelf-type RF antenna are led out through the slots on the end face of the top cover and connected to the RF reader respectively. When the bookshelf antenna is a vertical bookshelf antenna, two or more vertical bookshelf antennas are arranged on the top cover. The cables of each vertical bookshelf antenna are led out from the same side of the top cover and connected to the RF reader respectively.

[0007] In this invention, when the bookshelf antenna is a vertical bookshelf antenna, it also includes a back plate, which is vertically mounted on the rear side of the top cover. The rear side of the vertical bookshelf antenna and the back plate have a matching fitting structure, which includes a matching groove and a matching boss. Furthermore, the vertical bookshelf antenna includes a housing and an antenna placed inside the housing. A cable lead-out hole for cable lead-out is opened on the rear side of the housing, and a cable lead-out slot is opened on the back plate corresponding to the cable lead-out hole. Furthermore, the rear side of the housing of the vertical bookshelf antenna has a matching boss, and a matching slot is opened on the back plate corresponding to the matching boss. Furthermore, the cable lead-out hole can be opened at the rear end of the matching boss, which is beneficial for leading the cable in the vertical bookshelf antenna along the matching boss to the other side of the back plate, and facilitates the unified routing of multiple vertical bookshelf antennas from one side of the top cover.

[0008] The present invention provides two symmetrically arranged top covers on the base plate to meet the needs of placing books on both sides of the bookshelf. A back plate is provided between the two top covers, and the lower end of the back plate is fixedly connected to the base plate. There are two back plates corresponding to the front and rear top covers respectively. The space between the two back plates is the wiring space for the vertical bookshelf antenna. Furthermore, the upper ends of the two back plates are respectively provided with bent portions facing each other. The height of the back plate is greater than the height of the vertical bookshelf antenna.

[0009] This utility model also proposes an intelligent bookshelf, which has a frame. The feature is that the partition of the frame is formed by a single-layer storage module as described above, and the two ends of the single-layer storage module are connected and fixed to the frame via hook components.

[0010] The hook component of this utility model has an L-shaped main body. The horizontal section is fixedly connected to the lower side of the bottom plate of the single-layer storage module, and the vertical section is fixedly connected to the frame. In order to facilitate the wiring of the shelf-type radio frequency antenna, a lead wire slot is opened on the vertical section of the hook component, which corresponds to the end of the top cover.

[0011] The frame or cabinet of this utility model has a maintenance compartment for accommodating radio frequency readers on the side wall of each compartment, and the maintenance compartment has a door.

[0012] This utility model utilizes a single-layer storage module to create storage spaces with varying numbers of layers by adding partitions to the shelf according to user needs. Books with RFID tags are placed on the top cover of the storage module. When the bookshelf antenna uses a shelf-type RF antenna, it is placed in the cavity where the top cover and bottom plate are fastened together. Its terminals (including signal terminals and power terminals) are led out along the slots at both ends of the top cover. The terminals of adjacent shelf-type RF antennas are cascaded by plug-in components. When the bookshelf antenna uses a vertical bookshelf antenna, it uses a dedicated coaxial cable to transmit both RF signals and DC power simultaneously. The AC and DC power signals are multiplexed using a single signal line. The cables of two or more vertical bookshelf antennas located on the same layer of the shelf or cabinet are led out to the outside of the back panel and connected to the RF reader.

[0013] This utility model, by setting up a single-layer storage module, can complete the addition of the same-layer inventory function in one go. For different compartments within the cabinet, the deployment of the RFID-based intelligent book inventory mechanism can be quickly completed through independent single-layer storage modules. It can adapt to the layer requirements of different cabinets or shelves. In subsequent maintenance and repair, each single-layer storage module corresponds to one radio frequency reader. The power lines and signal lines of adjacent compartments do not cross or interconnect with each other, and the wiring is clear and simple. It is particularly suitable for upgrading and transforming partial cabinets or shelves.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has significant advantages such as reasonable structure, easy assembly and disassembly, convenient wiring between multi-layer racks, and ability to adapt to different rack or cabinet requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0027] This utility model also proposes an intelligent bookshelf, which has a frame. The feature is that the partition of the frame is formed by a single-layer storage module as described above, and the two ends of the single-layer storage module are connected and fixed to the frame via hook components 8.

[0028] As attached Figure 6 As shown, the hook component of this utility model has an L-shaped main body. The horizontal section is fixedly connected to the lower side of the bottom plate of the single-layer storage module, and the vertical section is fixedly connected to the frame. In order to facilitate the wiring of the shelf-type radio frequency antenna, a lead wire slot corresponding to the end of the top cover is opened on the vertical section of the hook component.

[0029] The frame or cabinet of this utility model has a maintenance compartment for accommodating radio frequency readers on the side wall of each compartment, and the maintenance compartment has a door. Example

[0030] This example provides a single-layer storage module, which includes an RF reader, a single-layer storage body, and a bookshelf antenna. The single-layer storage body includes a base plate 2, and two upper covers 3 are fastened to the upper surface of the base plate 2 to meet the needs of placing books on both sides of the bookshelf. The base plate 2 and the upper covers 3 are fastened together to form a strip-shaped cavity. The two ends of the upper covers 3 are provided with slots 4 for wiring. The bookshelf antenna is a layered RF antenna, which is placed in the cavity formed by the upper covers 3 and the base plate 2. The power line and signal line of the layered RF antenna are led out through the slots 4 on the end face of the upper covers and connected to the RF reader 1 respectively.

[0031] Both ends of the single-layer storage module are connected and fixed to the frame via hook components 8; the hook component has an L-shaped main body, the horizontal section is fixedly connected to the lower side of the bottom plate of the single-layer storage module, and the vertical section is fixedly connected to the frame. In order to facilitate the wiring of the shelf-type radio frequency antenna, lead wire slots corresponding to the end of the top cover are opened on the vertical section of the hook component.

[0032] This example uses a single-layer storage module, with partitions built on the shelf to form storage spaces of different numbers. Books with RFID tags are placed on the top cover of the storage module. When the bookshelf antenna uses a shelf-type RF antenna, the shelf-type RF antenna is placed in the cavity where the top cover and the bottom plate are fastened together. Its wiring terminals (including signal line terminals and power line terminals) are led out along the slots at both ends of the top cover. The wiring terminals of adjacent shelf-type RF antennas are connected and cascaded through plug-in components and connected to the RF reader, thereby completing the inventory of books being put on and taken off the shelves. Example

[0033] This example provides a smart bookshelf. The bookshelf or cabinet is equipped with multiple single-layer storage modules. The single-layer storage module in this example is equipped with an RF reader, a single-layer storage body, a back plate, and a bookshelf antenna. The bookshelf antenna is a vertical bookshelf antenna. At this time, a back plate 6 is provided on one side of the top cover. The back plate 6 is vertically set on the rear side of the top cover 3. The rear side of the vertical bookshelf antenna 5 and the back plate 6 are provided with a matching fitting structure. The fitting structure includes a matching groove and a matching boss.

[0034] In this example, the vertical bookshelf antenna 5 includes a housing and an antenna placed inside the housing.

The cable of the vertical bookshelf antenna 5 is led out to the outside of the back plate 6 along the cable lead-out hole on the rear side and the cable lead-out slot 7 on the back plate, respectively. This makes it convenient for multiple vertical bookshelf antennas to be routed uniformly from one side of the top cover 3 and connected to the radio frequency reader respectively.

[0035] In this example, to meet the requirements for placing books on the front and back sides of the shelf, two top covers 3 are symmetrically arranged side by side on the base plate 2 to meet the book placement requirements on both sides of the bookshelf. A back plate 6 is provided between the two top covers 3, and the lower end of the back plate is fixedly connected to the base plate 2. There are two back plates 6 corresponding to the front and back top covers respectively, and the space between the two back plates 6 is the wiring space for the vertical bookshelf antenna.

[0036] This example demonstrates how setting up single-layer storage modules can enable the addition of same-layer inventory functionality in a single setup. For different compartments within the cabinet, independent single-layer storage modules can quickly complete the deployment of an RFID-based intelligent book inventory mechanism, adapting to the layer requirements of different cabinets or shelves. Furthermore, during subsequent maintenance and repair, each single-layer storage module corresponds to one RFID reader / writer, and the power and signal lines of adjacent compartments do not cross or interconnect with each other, resulting in clear and concise wiring. This approach is particularly suitable for upgrading and modifying partial cabinets or shelves.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has significant advantages such as reasonable structure, easy assembly and disassembly, convenient wiring between multi-layer racks, and ability to adapt to different rack or cabinet requirements.
