[0023] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0024] Example 1: This utility model provides a high-efficiency data acquisition device, including a housing 1 located below the bottom of a shuttle 2. The bottom of the housing 1 is equipped with a scanner / reader 3 powered by an external power source. The housing 1 contains an edge computing module and a wireless communication module. An adjustment plate 4 is located above the housing 1, with a snap-fit ​​assembly between the adjustment plate 4 and the housing 1. A displacement block 5 is located at the top of the adjustment plate 4, and a ball nut 6 is located inside the displacement block 5. Positioning plates 21 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the shuttle 2, with a lead screw 7 between the two positioning plates 21. The ball nut 6 and the lead screw 7 cooperate with each other. An externally powered motor 8 is located on one side of one of the positioning plates 21, and the motor 8 cooperates with the lead screw 7.

[0025] It should be noted that by setting a housing 1 at the bottom of the shuttle 2, and setting a scanner reader 3 at the bottom of the housing 1, and setting a reading and writing unit inside the scanner reader 3, the electronic tags of the goods can be scanned. Through the cooperation of the lead screw 7 and the ball nut 6, the housing 1 can be driven to move back and forth along the bottom of the shuttle 2, thereby scanning all the goods. By installing the collection module on the shuttle 2, the information of the goods in the shuttle 2 can be collected efficiently, improving the comprehensiveness of the information collected from the goods.

[0026] Furthermore, the housing 1 contains an edge computing module and a wireless communication module. The edge computing module has a built-in processor and uses an RK3588 chip. It incorporates a YOLOv5-based damage detection algorithm. Vibration analysis is performed using a triaxial accelerometer. The image and sensor data are preprocessed locally (such as barcode recognition and vibration analysis), and only key results are uploaded to reduce data transmission volume. The wireless communication module supports 5G and LoRa dual-mode transmission and automatically switches according to network status to ensure real-time data transmission, further achieving efficient data acquisition.

[0027] In this embodiment, connecting rods 9 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the shuttle car 2. The connecting rods 9 are spaced apart on the shuttle car 2, and a placement plate 10 for placing goods is provided at the bottom of the connecting rods 9.

[0028] It should be noted that the placement plate 10 allows goods to be placed on it, enabling the shuttle car 2 to transport the goods.

[0029] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 9 is provided with a fixedly connected mounting plate. An image acquisition device 11 is provided on the opposite surface of the two mounting plates. The image acquisition device 11 is connected to an external power supply and has a supplementary light on its surface. Protective rods 12 are symmetrically provided on the upper and lower sides of the image acquisition device 11 and are fixed on the mounting plate.

[0030] It should be noted that the image acquisition device 11 is mounted on the mounting plate. The image acquisition device 11 has the function of taking pictures, so that after the goods are placed on the placement plate 10, it is used to identify the appearance of the goods. The image acquisition device 11 is connected to the edge computing module through the MIPI interface. When the crack area is detected to account for more than 5%, an alarm is triggered.

[0031] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a limiting clip 13, a mating plate 14, and a mating groove 15. The limiting clip 13 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting plate 4, the mating plate 14 is symmetrically installed on the top of the housing 1, and the mating groove 15 is opened on the top of the mating plate 14.

[0032] It should be noted that the limiting strip 13 and the mating groove 15 are designed to work together. When the housing 1 needs to be assembled, the limiting strip 13 and the mating groove 15 can be used to connect the adjusting plate 4 and the housing 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the limiting strip 13 and the mating groove 15 cooperate with each other, and the mating groove 15 adopts a dovetail groove design.

[0034] It should be noted that designing the mating groove 15 in a dovetail shape further improves the stability of the limit strip 13 when inserted into the mating groove 15, preventing it from falling out of the mating groove 15.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bottom of the adjusting plate 4 and the two sides of the housing 1 are provided with fixedly connected vertical plates 16. The vertical plates 16 are symmetrically provided with concave plates 17 on the side away from the housing 1. The concave opening of the concave plate 17 faces the vertical plate 16.

The positioning pin 18 and the limiting hole 20 cooperate with each other.

[0036] It should be noted that the reset spring 19 is fitted onto the positioning pin 18, allowing the positioning pin 18 to move within the concave plate 17 and the vertical plate 16. When the positioning pin 18 is pulled outward, the reset spring 19 is compressed. After the housing 1 and the adjusting plate 4 are installed, by releasing the positioning pin 18, the head of the positioning pin 18 enters the limiting hole 20 under the rebound of the reset spring 19, further stabilizing the housing 1 and preventing instability of the shuttle 2 during movement.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the top of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the limiting strip 13. The limiting strip 13 is inserted into the mating groove 15 in the mating plate 14. After the position is aligned, the positioning pin 18 is released. Under the return of the reset spring 19, the positioning pin 18 is inserted into the limiting hole 20, thereby realizing the installation of the adjusting plate 4 and the housing 1. The bottom of the housing 1 has a scanning reader 3. The scanning reader 3 is equipped with a reading and writing unit inside, which can scan the electronic tags of goods. Moreover, the housing 1 has an edge computing module and a wireless communication module inside. The edge computing module has a built-in processor to perform local preprocessing of image and sensor data (such as barcode recognition and vibration analysis), and only uploads key results to reduce the amount of data transmission. The wireless communication module supports 5G and LoRa dual-mode transmission and automatically switches according to the network status to ensure real-time data transmission.

[0038] The top of the adjusting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the displacement block 5. The displacement block 5 is equipped with a ball nut 6. By starting the motor 8, the lead screw 7 can be rotated, thereby moving the displacement block 5 and causing the housing 1 to move under the shuttle car 2. This allows the scanner reader 3 to scan the cargo label on the placement plate 10, thereby efficiently collecting cargo information in the shuttle car 2 and improving the comprehensiveness of cargo information collection.
