[0002] With the development of modern industry, the structure and function of warehouse racking are constantly improving. More and more industries and enterprises are entering the warehousing industry. Racking is one of the main facilities of warehousing. It is based on the six basic functions of logistics: packaging, transportation, loading and unloading, sorting, and information management. It is an indispensable component of modern industrial warehouses, logistics centers, and distribution centers.
[0003] Warehouse racks are generally classified into heavy-duty, medium-duty, and light-duty warehouse racks. They are further classified according to their load-bearing capacity, design, and purpose. Logistics centers typically use warehouse racks and drive-in racks, which are racks used in logistics turnover centers.
[0004] Existing logistics center shelves occupy a large area due to their flat storage, resulting in a large amount of inventory. However, retrieving goods requires manual retrieval from the shelves. Often, due to the large warehouse area, staff have to search the shelves continuously, and after finding the goods, they need to re-sort the quantity and date, wasting a lot of time and effort, reducing work efficiency. For smaller materials packed in cardboard boxes, the deep shelves make it very inconvenient for staff to retrieve the goods, and also waste the storage space of the shelves. Utility Model Content

Through the setting of the sliding component, the rack... When loading goods, cardboard boxes slide into the shelf via a sliding component. Once the front cardboard box is retrieved, the rear cardboard box automatically slides to the positioning plate 18, realizing a first-in, first-out (FIFO) storage method. This makes the goods mobile and facilitates material flow management. Compared with ordinary shelving, it not only provides storage space but also saves space and improves efficiency. It solves the problem of inconvenience for staff to retrieve goods due to the depth of the shelving. Through the electronic tag system 13 and warning lights 19, the problem of having to re-sort the quantity and date of goods after finding them is solved, making it easier for staff to find goods and improving work efficiency. It also displays the current quantity of goods to staff in real time, making the shelving more intelligent.
[0031] Please see Figure 3-4 The outer wall of the fixed plate 4 is provided with multiple sets of third connecting rods 12, and the top of the third connecting rods 12 is provided with a positioning plate 18. The sliding component of each layer has a certain tilt angle, which makes it easy for the cardboard box to move towards the positioning plate 18 by the weight of the goods above the rotating wheel 11, so that the goods fit together tightly, saving space and saving the physical energy consumption of the staff to carry them.
[0032] Please see Figure 4 Two sets of springs 17 are fixedly installed at one end of the positioning plate 18, and the springs 17 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the limiting plate 16. When the rotating wheel 11 rotates, the goods move in the carton toward the positioning plate 18. The positioning plate 18 provides limited obstruction to the carton through the springs 17 to prevent collisions when the carton moves forward and protect the goods from damage.
[0033] Please see Figure 4 The limiting plate 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the first positioning rod 7, and the top of the limiting plate 16 is arc-shaped. The limiting plate 16 is located at one end of the spring 17 and is higher than the baffle 10. Because the goods are placed at an angle in the sliding assembly, the setting of the limiting plate 16 prevents the goods from falling. And the top is arc-shaped, so it will not cause injury to the staff when they pick up the goods.
[0034] Please see Figure 1-3 The first positioning rod 7 is provided at one end, and the first positioning rod 7 is provided at one end with a button 14 and an electronic tag system 13. This solves the problem of having to re-sort the quantity and date of the goods after they are found, improves work efficiency, and displays the current quantity of goods to the staff in real time, making the shelf more intelligent.
[0035] Please see Figure 1-2 A positioning block 20 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first connecting rod 2, and a warning light 19 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning block 20.

The positioning block 20 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 2 by bolts, and the staff can disassemble the positioning block 20 as needed, so that the warning light 19 can be moved and is easy to maintain.
[0036] Please see Figure 1-2 The inner wall of the first fixing block 6 is provided with multiple cavities, and the size of the inner cavity of the first fixing block 6 matches that of the inner wall of the first connecting rod 2. The inner wall of the second fixing block 8 is provided with multiple cavities, and the size of the inner cavity of the second fixing block 8 matches that of the inner wall of the second connecting rod 3. The staff can freely adjust the height of the shelf according to the needs of the goods, thereby making the shelf more versatile and improving its service life.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to retrieve stored goods, the barcode scanner is used to scan the barcode, causing the warning light 19 to flash on the top of the shelf, so that the staff can find the shelf where the goods are stored immediately. Then, according to the flashing of button 14, the goods are accurately located and then taken out from the top of the sliding component. At the same time as the goods are taken out, the weight of the goods causes the rotating wheel 11 to rotate, thereby moving the goods in the carton towards the positioning plate 18. The positioning plate 18 provides limited obstruction to the carton, preventing collisions when the carton moves forward and protecting the goods from damage. Goods are stored from one side and retrieved from the other side, realizing first-in-first-out, which is convenient for storage and also allows for multiple retrievals after one replenishment. Then, the quantity in the electronic tag system 13 changes, making it easy for the staff to understand the quantity of goods. Then, button 14 is pressed to stop button 14 and the warning light 19 from flashing.
