Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an intelligent wine storage rack, and more particularly to an intelligent wine storage rack with gravity sensing function, belonging to the technical field of intelligent wine storage racks. Background Technology
[0002] In wine storage management, although existing intelligent wine storage racks have storage and management functions, they generally have defects such as rough weight monitoring and insufficient material retrieval convenience. Most current racks adopt a fixed shelf design, which cannot accurately monitor the weight changes of each shelf, making it difficult to provide timely warnings when the shelf is overloaded. At the same time, most storage locations are flat and uniformly laid out without independent weight detection units, making it difficult for staff to quickly locate the wine entry and exit status of individual storage locations.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the intelligent wine storage racks with gravity sensing function to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a smart wine storage rack with gravity sensing function. Through the collaborative design of floating shelves, pressure sensors, indicator components and independent storage positions, it solves the problems of crude weight monitoring and inconvenient material retrieval in existing racks. Specifically, the pressure detection plate and pressure sensor collect weight data in real time to achieve dynamic weight monitoring. The floating component and indicator component use a gear and rack transmission amplification mechanism to convert the small displacement of the floating shelf into a significant change in the scale of the indicator needle on the observation window, intuitively displaying the load status of the shelf. The difference in scale between the two indicator components determines whether there is an off-center load, realizing overload warning and off-center load detection.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solution adopted by this utility model includes: a shelf body, a pressure detection plate, and floating shelves. The shelf body includes uprights and beams. The beams are connected to floating shelves via multiple sets of floating components. A pressure sensor is provided between the pressure detection plate and the floating shelves. A slider is fixedly connected to both sides of the floating shelves.

An indicator component is provided inside the uprights of the shelf body. A groove is opened on the surface of the beams. A guide rod is provided in the groove. The independent storage space has two inclined surfaces.
[0006] Preferably, the floating assembly includes a second slider, a spring, and a connecting rod. The second slider is sleeved on the guide rod, one end of the connecting rod is hinged to the second slider, the other end of the connecting rod is hinged to the floating shelf, and both ends of the spring abut against the second slider and the crossbeam of the shelf body, respectively.
[0007] Preferably, the indicating component includes a first rack, a first gear, a second gear, and a second rack. The first rack is fixedly connected to one side of the slider. The first gear and the second gear are fixedly connected to form a gear set. The gear set is rotatably connected to the upright of the shelf body. The second rack is disposed inside the upright of the shelf body and is slidably connected to the upright.
[0008] Preferably, the first rack meshes with the first gear, the second rack meshes with the second gear, the number of teeth of the first gear is less than that of the second gear, and the ratio of the number of teeth of the first gear to the number of teeth of the second gear is 1:3.
[0009] Preferably, the pressure detection plate covers the floating layer, and the pressure sensors are evenly arranged between the pressure detection plate and the floating layer.
[0010] Preferably, the two inclined surfaces of the independent storage unit are set at a certain angle, with the upper inclined surface inclined to the lower inclined surface and the lower inclined surface inclined to the material picking side, and a limiting baffle is provided on the edge of the material picking side of the independent storage unit.
[0011] Preferably, the indicator components are provided on both sides of the floating shelf, the surface of the second rack is provided with an indicator needle, the surface of the column is provided with an observation window, and a scale is engraved on one side of the observation window.
[0012] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. By coordinating the design of floating shelves, pressure sensors, indicator components, and independent storage locations, the problems of crude weight monitoring and inconvenient material retrieval in existing shelving systems are solved. Specifically: the pressure detection plate and pressure sensor collect weight data in real time to achieve dynamic weight monitoring. The floating component and indicator component use a gear and rack transmission amplification mechanism to convert the small displacement of the floating shelf into a significant change in the scale of the indicator needle on the observation window, intuitively displaying the load status of the shelf. The difference in scale between the two indicator components determines whether there is an off-center load, realizing overload warning and off-center load detection. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.
[0023] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the intelligent wine storage rack with gravity sensing function provided in this embodiment includes a rack body 1, a pressure detection plate 2, and a floating shelf 3. The rack body 1 includes a vertically arranged column 101 and a horizontally arranged beam 102. The beam 102 is connected to the floating shelf 3, which can float up and down, through multiple sets of floating components 4. The pressure detection plate 2 is arranged above the floating shelf 3. Pressure sensors 5 are evenly distributed between the two. The signal output end of the pressure sensor 5 is electrically connected to the warehouse management system to detect the weight of the goods on the floating shelf 3 in real time and transmit the data to the system to achieve accurate weight monitoring.
[0024] The floating shelf 3 is fixedly connected to two sides by sliders 6. The side of the shelf body 1 is provided with a vertical slide rail. The sliders 6 are slidably connected to the slide rail, so that the floating shelf 3 can move vertically along the shelf body 1. The upper surface of the floating shelf 3 is provided with an independent storage position 7. The independent storage position 7 is composed of two inclined surfaces, of which the upper inclined surface is inclined to the lower inclined surface, and the lower inclined surface is inclined to the picking side. The picking side is the side for the operator. The goods on the upper layer can automatically roll to the lower layer under the action of gravity. The edge of the picking side of the independent storage position 7 is fixed with a limit baffle 11 to prevent the goods from slipping out of the storage position and to achieve convenient retrieval.
[0025] The floating component 4 includes a second slider 401, a spring 402, and a connecting rod 403. A horizontal groove 9 is provided on the surface of the crossbeam 102 along the length direction. A guide rod 10 is fixed in the groove 9. The second slider 401 of the floating component 4 is sleeved on the guide rod 10 and can slide along the guide rod 10. One end of the connecting rod 403 is hinged to the slider 6 through a pin, and the other end is hinged to the bottom of the floating layer 3 through a pin. The spring 402 is sleeved on the guide rod 10, and both ends abut against the slider 6 and the inner wall of the groove 9 of the crossbeam 102, respectively.
[0026] When goods are placed on the floating shelf 3, the weight of the goods causes the floating shelf 3 to move downwards. The connecting rod 403 pushes the slider 401 to slide outwards along the guide rod 10 and compress the spring 402, thus realizing the load feedback of the floating shelf 3. When unloading, the spring 402 returns to its original position, pushing the slider 401 to drive the floating shelf 3 to rise.
[0027] The upright 101 of the shelf body 1 is equipped with an indicator component 8. The indicator component 8 includes a first rack 801, a first gear 802, a second gear 803 and a second rack 804. The first rack 801 is fixedly connected to the sides of the slider 6 on both sides of the floating shelf 3 and moves up and down synchronously with the slider 6. The first gear 802 and the second gear 803 are coaxially fixedly connected to form a gear set.
[0028] The gear set is rotatably connected to the column 101 via bearings. The second rack 804 is vertically installed inside the column 101 and slidably connected to the column 101. Its tooth surface meshes with the second gear 803. The tooth surface of the first rack 801 meshes with the first gear 802. The tooth ratio of the first gear 802 and the second gear 803 is 1:3. When the first rack 801 descends by 1mm with the slider 6, it drives the first gear 802 to rotate. Through the gear set, the second gear 803 rotates synchronously, thereby driving the second rack 804 to rise by 3mm, realizing the amplification and transmission of displacement.
[0029] Furthermore, an indicator needle 12 is fixed on the surface of the second rack 804, and an observation window 13 is opened on the surface of the column 101 corresponding to the position of the indicator needle 12. A scale mark is set on one side of the observation window 13. When the indicator needle 12 moves with the second rack 804, it points to the corresponding scale, which intuitively displays the load status of the floating shelf 3. Since the above-mentioned indicator components 8 are set on both sides of the floating shelf 3, when the scale display difference of the two indicator needles 12 is too large, it can be determined that the floating shelf 3 is unbalanced, which makes it convenient for the staff to adjust the distribution of goods in time and avoid structural damage caused by unilateral overload.
[0030] In practical use, when wine is placed on the upper inclined surface of the independent storage compartment 7, it can automatically slide to the lower inclined surface. Staff can directly retrieve the materials from the lower layer. The pressure sensor 5 collects the weight of the floating shelf 3 in real time and uploads it to the system. When the load exceeds the set threshold, staff can observe and adjust the goods through the scale of the indicator needle 12. The mechanical transmission structure of the indicator component 8 does not require additional power drive. The load status can be visualized by the displacement change of the floating shelf 3, ensuring that the shelf load information can still be obtained through the observation window 13 in the event of power failure or system failure.
