Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and warehousing equipment technology, specifically to an electronic shelf that facilitates material transport. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic racking is a key piece of equipment in modern warehousing. It enables automated warehouse operations, thereby improving the efficiency of warehouse management. Electronic racking is mainly divided into vertical circulation racks, vertical lifting racks, and horizontal circulation racks, which can effectively improve the storage and guiding efficiency of materials.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent disclosed in publication number CN220282148U discloses an intelligent adjustable storage rack, which includes an intelligent adjustable rack. Multiple cabinet doors are provided on one side of the intelligent adjustable rack, and multiple storage cabinets are opened on one side of the intelligent adjustable rack. Electric push rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the surfaces of the multiple storage cabinets. Clamps are fixedly connected to the output ends of the electric push rods, and control switches are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the storage cabinets. This utility model, by incorporating a drying fan, ventilation holes, electric push rods, an electric heating grid, a barcode scanning door opening system, and clamps, allows the cabinet doors to open automatically by scanning a QR code displayed on a barcode scanner with a mobile phone. This saves a significant amount of time in locating the required goods. Simultaneously, the electric push rods drive the clamps to hold the goods, preventing damage caused by cabinet movement and enhancing practicality.

[0004] Although the aforementioned electronic shelving can automatically export storage cabinets, it is not convenient to adjust the number of storage cabinets according to needs. At the same time, the automation of exporting storage cabinets by the aforementioned electronic shelving is also insufficient, which reduces the practicality of the shelving when in use. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an electronic shelving that is easy to push and transport materials to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 One embodiment of this utility model provides an electronic shelf for easy material transport, comprising a supporting base plate 6, wherein a positioning bracket 5 is fixedly disposed at the center of the upper end surface of the supporting base plate 6.

[0026] The material transfer device 2 has five sets, and the five sets of material transfer devices 2 are equidistantly arranged on the upper surface of the positioning card seat 5. The material transfer device 2 is used for material storage and export.

[0027] The transmission device 3 is fixedly installed on the inner end face of the transfer device 2, and a sealing plate 4 is provided on the front end face of the transfer device 2 opposite to the transmission device 3. The transmission device 3 is used to drive the transfer device 2 to guide the material.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The material transfer device 2 includes a shelf guide seat 21. Positioning guide shafts 26 are equidistantly arranged on the lower end face of the shelf guide seat 21. Two sets of cooling fans 27 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the rear end face of the positioning guide shafts 26. Two sets of storage cabinets 22 are slidably connected to the front end face of the shelf guide seat 21. A positioning handle 23 is provided at the front center of the storage cabinet 22. A transmission rack 24 is provided at the top of the side end face of each of the two sets of storage cabinets 22. Guide sliders 25 are symmetrically arranged at the tail of the lower end face of each of the two sets of storage cabinets 22. Positioning slots 1 are equidistantly opened on the upper end face of the storage cabinet 22 and the positioning card seat 5.

[0029] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 The transmission device 3 includes a fixed guide seat 36, a servo motor 35 is fixedly clamped to the inner end face of the fixed guide seat 36, and a transmission guide shaft 32 is rotatably clamped to the inner end face of the fixed guide seat 36 near the top. A driving bevel gear 31 is provided at the output end of the servo motor 35, and a driven bevel gear 33 is provided at the middle of the outer end face of the transmission guide shaft 32. Guide gears 34 are provided at both ends of the transmission guide shaft 32.

[0030] like Figure 3The storage cabinet 22 is slidably engaged with the inner end face of the shelf guide seat 21 by the guide slider 25. The upper and lower adjacent sets of shelf guide seats 21 are mutually slidably connected by the positioning guide shaft 26 and the positioning slot 1. The connection between the upper and lower sets of shelf guide seats 21 and the positioning slot 1 by the positioning guide shaft 26 can improve the convenience of stacking and splitting different numbers of shelf guide seats 21 in the future.

[0031] like Figure 5 The transmission rack 24 meshes with the guide gear 34, and the driving bevel gear 31 meshes with the driven bevel gear 33, which can effectively improve the efficiency and stability of the equipment's transmission.

[0032] like Figure 1 The bottom shelf guide seat 21 is adapted to the positioning slot 1 through the positioning guide shaft 26 and then slidably inserted into the upper surface of the positioning card seat 5. The bottom shelf guide seat 21 can be inserted into the upper part of the positioning card seat 5 through the positioning guide shaft 26, which facilitates the quick and convenient docking and disassembly of the shelf guide seat 21 in the future.

[0033] Working Principle: When using the electronic shelving, if the required material storage quantity is needed, the operator can use external hoisting equipment to lift the shelving guide 21, align the upper and lower shelving guide 21, and then lower it. The upper shelving guide 21 will then be positioned within the lower shelving guide 21 via the positioning guide shaft 26, thus increasing the number of storage cabinets 22 and improving the overall storage volume of the shelving. If it is necessary to push or move the storage cabinets 22, the operator can use external... Using the control panel, the corresponding servo motor 35 is activated. At this time, the servo motor 35 can drive the transmission guide shaft 32 to rotate through the active bevel gear 31. The transmission guide shaft 32 can then drive the two sets of guide gears 34 to rotate synchronously. When the guide gears 34 rotate, they can mesh with the transmission rack 24, thereby driving the two sets of storage cabinets 22 to be pulled out from inside the shelf guide seat 21, which facilitates the subsequent introduction of materials into the storage cabinets 22. At the same time, the two sets of cooling fans 27 located at the rear of the shelf guide seat 21 can quickly dissipate heat from inside the storage cabinets 22.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
