[0045] See Figures 1 to 15 The illustrated shelving system includes a power module 2 and a shelving unit 1, wherein:

[0046] The power module 2 is equipped with a power cord and a first pair of plugs. The power cord is configured to connect to an external AC power source, the power module 2 is configured to convert AC power to DC power, and the first pair of plugs is connected to the output terminal of the power module 2.

[0047] Multiple shelves 1 are provided, and each shelf 1 is provided with an energy storage unit 3, a control board 4, a load 11, a connector and a second pair of plugs. The connector and the second pair of plugs are connected by wires. The energy storage unit 3 provides power to the load 11 through the control board 4. One end of the connector is configured to plug into the first pair of plugs, and the other end of the connector is connected to the charging interface of the energy storage unit 3. The second pair of plugs is configured to connect to one end of the connector of the next adjacent shelf 1.

[0048] In this example, the first pair of plugs is configured to connect with one end of the connector of the first adjacent shelf 1. The second pair of plugs of the first shelf 1 is configured to connect with one end of the connector of the next adjacent shelf 1 (the second shelf 1). The second pair of plugs of the second shelf 1 is configured to connect with one end of the connector of the next adjacent shelf 1 (the third shelf 1). The remaining shelves 1 are connected in sequence. When plugged in, the mains power supply supplies power to the energy storage unit 3 and the load 11, ensuring that the load 11 of each shelf 1 works normally and reliably. When disconnected, the energy storage unit 3 on the shelf 1 supplies power to the load 11 on it, so that the shelf 1 can work independently.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first pair of plugs includes a first electrical signal plug terminal 21 and a first data signal plug terminal 22, and the connector includes a first electrical signal plug terminal 23 and a first data signal plug terminal 24. When one end of the connector is plugged into the first pair of plugs, the first electrical signal plug terminal 21 is connected to the first electrical signal plug terminal 23, and the first data signal plug terminal 22 is connected to the first data signal plug terminal 24. The second pair of plugs includes a second electrical signal plug terminal 25 and a second data signal plug terminal 26. When the second pair of plugs is plugged into one end of the connector of the next adjacent shelf 1, the second electrical signal plug terminal 25 is connected to the first electrical signal plug terminal 23 of the connector of the next adjacent shelf 1, and the second data signal plug terminal 26 is connected to the first data signal plug terminal 24 of the connector of the next adjacent shelf 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, the power module 2 further includes a data management controller configured to receive data signals from the first data signal plug-in terminal, realize data interaction, and read the status of the energy storage unit 3, such as power and voltage.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first electrical signal plug-in terminal and the first data signal plug-in terminal are female terminals, the first electrical signal plug-in terminal and the first data signal plug-in terminal are male terminals, and the second electrical signal plug-in terminal and the second data signal plug-in terminal are female terminals. The female terminal includes a contact finger spring 27, which reduces the contact resistance by 30%, improves the vibration resistance by 3 times, and ensures the reliability of the power supply and signal connection of the shelf 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, the power module 2 can be fixed in one place, and multiple shelves 1 are connected sequentially in a straight line. The energy storage unit 3 is a battery, and the load 11 includes indicator lights, storage position sensors, and tower lights 13, which are located at the top of the shelves 1.

[0053] In this example, two adjacent shelves 1 are connected by a locking device, which includes a buckle 9 and a locking groove 10 that cooperates with the buckle 9. The buckle 9 and the locking groove 10 are respectively set on the two adjacent shelves 1. By fastening the buckle 9 into the locking groove 10, the two adjacent shelves 1 are fixedly connected to prevent the shelves 1 from separating. When the buckle 9 is released from the locking groove 10, the two shelves 1 are separated. By setting up the locking device, the operation is quick and convenient, ensuring that the shelves 1 are reliably connected without shaking, and ensuring the overall stability of the shelves 1.

[0054] In this example, a spring damping pin 5 is installed between two adjacent shelves 1 to maintain a gap between the two adjacent shelves 1 and prevent interference from the connection of the terminals.

[0055] In some implementations, see Figure 1The spring damping pin 5 includes a pin 501, a spring 502, and a fixing block 503. The fixing block 503 is set on the side opposite to one shelf 1 and another shelf 1 adjacent to it. One end of the pin 501 extends into the fixing block 503, and the other end of the pin 501 extends into another shelf 1. The spring 502 is set on the pin 501 located between the fixing block 503 and the other shelf 1. The extension direction of the pin 501 is the extension direction of the multiple shelves 1 connected in sequence, such as the X-axis direction.

[0056] Furthermore, the shelf 1 also includes guide cylinders 6 and guide posts 7. The guide cylinders 6 and guide posts 7 are respectively installed on two adjacent shelves 1. The guide posts 7 can be inserted into the guide cylinders 6. When splicing two adjacent shelves 1, the guide posts 7 are inserted into the guide cylinders 6, making the splicing of the two adjacent shelves 1 accurate and fast. Preferably, multiple guide cylinders 6 and guide posts 7 are provided, and the guide cylinders 6 and guide posts 7 correspond one-to-one to ensure accurate and fast splicing of two adjacent shelves 1.

[0057] The system also includes a floor rail 8, which extends along the X-axis and has guide grooves. The underside of each shelf 1 is equipped with casters that allow movement along the floor rail 8. When multiple shelves 1 are joined together, they can be pushed sequentially into the floor rail 8 and moved along it. Once in the desired position, locking mechanisms are used to connect adjacent shelves 1, saving time and effort. When a shelf 1 is pushed out, the operator guides it along the floor rail 8 to the appropriate position, completing the inbound and outbound operations for entire boxes of materials. The floor rail 8 facilitates quick assembly and movement of the shelves 1, helps organize them, and prevents them from becoming disordered.

[0058] In some implementations, the casters include swivel casters 18 and fixed casters 19. The swivel casters 18 are equipped with brakes, which are used to stop the shelf 1 when it moves along the floor rail 8 to the desired position.

[0059] The system also includes a limit plate 17, see [link / reference] Figures 7-9 The limiting plate 17 is set outside one end of the ground rail 8, and the power module 2 is set on the limiting plate 17. The limiting plate 17 is detachably connected to a shelf 1. For example, the limiting plate 17 is connected to an adjacent shelf 1 through a locking device. Setting the limiting plate 17 can restrict the movement of the shelf 1 and ensure the stability of the shelf 1.

[0060] The shelving unit 1 includes a hollow frame and storage shelves 101. The storage shelves 101 are used to place goods and are arranged inside the hollow frame. Multiple storage shelves 101 are arranged along the height of the hollow frame, with a gap between adjacent storage shelves 101. Each storage shelf 101 corresponds to an indicator light, a storage position sensor, and a control panel 4.

[0061] See Figures 1-3The hollow frame is cuboid in shape and includes a top frame, uprights and bottom frame connected from top to bottom. The top frame and bottom frame each include two horizontal bars 102 (along the X-axis direction) and two vertical bars 103 (along the Y-axis direction). The uprights include four uprights 104 (along the Z-axis direction).

[0062] The shelf 101 is detachably connected to the hollow frame. One embodiment of the detachable connection between the shelf 101 and the hollow frame is as follows: guide connecting plates 20 are provided on both opposite sides of the shelf 101, fasteners 14 are provided on the inner wall of the hollow frame, and a slot that cooperates with the fastener 14 is opened at one end of the guide connecting plate 20. The opening of the slot is located on one end face of the guide connecting plate 20.

[0063] Preferably, the slot includes a first section and a second section that are interconnected. The opening of the first section is located on one end face of the guide connecting plate 20. The first section is tapered (the width of the first section gradually decreases from one end face of the guide connecting plate 20 to the other end face). The second section is circular. The fastener 14 is located on the second section. The fastener 14 can be a screw or bolt and nut assembly. The tapered first section facilitates the quick pushing and taking out of the storage plate 101 into the hollow frame, making the operation convenient and quick.

[0064] The procedure for placing the shelf 101 into the hollow frame is as follows: Position the shelf 101 horizontally and align the opening on the guide connecting plate 20 with the fastener 14. The slot on the guide connecting plate 20 engages with the fastener 14, allowing the shelf 101 to be pushed into the hollow frame. This operation is quick and convenient. (See also...) Figures 1-3 The shelf 101 is a square plate. Two guide connecting plates 20 are provided on one side of the shelf 101 and two guide connecting plates 20 are provided on the other side of the shelf 101.

[0065] In some embodiments, a first guide plate 15 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the shelf 1. The first guide plate 15 is located on the outside of the shelf 1. One end of the first guide plate 15 is connected to a shelf 1, and the other end of the first guide plate 15 extends toward the adjacent shelf 1. The distance between the two first guide plates 15 gradually increases from the direction of approaching the shelf 1 to the direction of moving away from the shelf 1.

[0066] Preferably, a first guide plate 15 is provided on one shelf 1, and a second guide plate 16 is provided on another shelf 1 adjacent to the first shelf 1. When the two adjacent shelves 1 are spliced ​​together, the other end of the first guide plate 15 is opposite to the second guide plate 16, which not only ensures the guidance of the connection of the shelves 1 and the smooth connection of the shelves 1, but also prevents the two shelves 1 from colliding. In this example, the first guide plate 15 and the second guide plate 16 can be made of metal.

[0067] The advantages of the shelving system 1 in this example are as follows: One end of the connector is configured to connect with the first pair of connectors, and the second pair of connectors is configured to connect with one end of the connector of the next adjacent shelving 1, enabling rapid assembly between shelving 1 units and reducing the reassembly time of multiple shelving 1 units to within 5 minutes; when each shelving unit is connected sequentially and the terminals are plugged in, the mains power supply provides power to the energy storage unit 3 and the load 11, ensuring the reliability of the power connection for each shelving 1 unit and ensuring that each load 11 on each shelving unit operates normally; when separated, the energy storage unit 3 on each shelving unit supplies power to its load 11, enabling the shelving 1 unit to operate independently; modular design enables intelligent management, real-time status monitoring and visual indication, improving warehouse management efficiency by more than 40%.

[0068] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
