Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of warehouse entry and exit management technology, and in particular to a warehouse entry and exit management device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing inbound and outbound management, it is usually necessary to manually enter the information of products to be put into the warehouse, and when the products are to be taken out, it is usually necessary to manually find the products to be taken out of the warehouse. When the number of products entering and leaving the warehouse is large, the workload of the operators is large and the efficiency of inbound and outbound management is low.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical issues, Chinese utility model patent ZL201921964526.6 (authorization announcement number CN211554942U) discloses a QR code-based material inbound / outbound management device, comprising a mobile terminal, a PC, a server, a wireless network, and materials; QR code labels with material information are affixed to the materials; the server stores the material information data; the mobile terminal scans the QR code labels to read the material information and transmits the read material information to the server; the PC is connected to the server for viewing material data and managing ledgers.

[0004] While the aforementioned material inbound / outbound management device can improve efficiency, it only manages material inbound and outbound information. It cannot manage the storage of materials after they have been received, nor can it quickly locate the required materials from among all received materials for retrieval. Therefore, further improvements to the existing technology are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an inbound and outbound management device that can realize automatic product inbound and outbound management, in contrast to the above-mentioned prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: an inbound and outbound management device, comprising:

[0007] A workbench is used to place products to be managed, and each product is labeled.

[0008] The reading mechanism, located on the workbench, is used to read the labels on the products to be managed;

[0009] Its features also include:

[0010] Multiple storage boxes are provided on the workbench;

[0011] A gripping component is used to grip the product to be managed. The gripping component can move on the plane of the workbench and can move up and down relative to the storage box.

[0012] A drive mechanism, connected to the gripping component driver, is used to drive the gripping component to move, so that the gripping component has at least the following two states:

[0013] In the first state, the grasping component moves to the location of the empty storage box and descends to place the product to be managed into the empty storage box, thereby completing the warehousing of the product to be managed.

[0014] In the second state, the grasping component moves to the location of the matching storage box and descends to retrieve the product to be managed from the matching storage box to complete the outbound process of the product to be managed.

[0015] The controller is electrically connected to the drive mechanism, the gripping component, and the reading mechanism. The controller is configured to store the location of empty storage boxes, the product labels after warehousing, and the location of the storage boxes containing the products, and to control the drive mechanism and gripping component to perform actions according to warehousing requirements.

[0016] To allow for a wider storage area for products, the workbench is equipped with a guide rail assembly. The guide rail assembly includes a first guide rail assembly extending along the length of the workbench and a second guide rail assembly extending along the width of the workbench. The first and second guide rail assemblies together form a plane that can cover the area where all storage boxes are located. The gripping component can be slidably mounted on the first and second guide rail assemblies and can reciprocate along the first and second guide rail assemblies.

[0017] Specifically, the first guide rail assembly includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail extending along the length of the worktable, the second guide rail being disposed opposite to the first guide rail, and a placement area for placing the storage box being formed between the second guide rail and the first guide rail.

[0018] To enable the position of the gripping component to be adjustable for easy product loading and unloading, the second guide rail assembly includes a third guide rail extending along the width of the workbench. The third guide rail is located above the placement area, and its two ends are slidably mounted on the first and second guide rails, respectively. The gripping component can slide back and forth along the length of the third guide rail.

[0019] To ensure the guide rail assembly does not interfere with product entry and exit, one end of the third guide rail is connected to the first guide rail via a first vertical rod, and the other end of the third guide rail is connected to the second guide rail via a second vertical rod. The first vertical rod can slide back and forth along the length of the first guide rail, and the second vertical rod can slide back and forth along the length of the second guide rail. The first and second vertical rods maintain a preset height between both ends of the third guide rail and the plane of the workbench, ensuring that the third guide rail is always above the storage box and does not interfere with it.

[0020] In order to enable the gripping component to move stably up and down, the guide rail assembly also includes a fourth guide rail extending along the height direction of the worktable, and the gripping component can move up and down along the fourth guide rail.

[0021] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a first driving member connected to the first vertical rod and / or the second vertical rod, and a second driving member connected to the gripping assembly. Driven by the first driving member, the first vertical rod can slide along the length of the first guide rail, and the second vertical rod can slide along the length of the second guide rail. Driven by the second driving member, the gripping assembly can move up and down along the fourth guide rail and slide along the length of the third guide rail. The first and second driving members can be implemented using a transmission mechanism such as a motor and a lead screw, as is common in the prior art.

[0022] There are many structures for the aforementioned gripping assembly. Preferably, the gripping assembly includes a vacuum pump for generating a vacuum and a gripping end. The gripping end is provided with a vacuum port connected to the vacuum pump, and the gripping end is used to introduce a vacuum through the vacuum port to adsorb and hold the product to be managed. Of course, the gripping assembly can also adopt existing gripper or other clamping components.

[0023] Preferably, a mounting bracket for installing the reading mechanism is provided on the side of the placement area to maintain a set distance between the reading mechanism and the workbench, and a support for stacking multiple products to be managed is provided below the reading mechanism.

[0024] There are many different structures for the reading mechanism and the tag. Preferably, the reading mechanism is a barcode scanner and the tag is a barcode. Of course, the reading mechanism can also be an RFID reader, and the corresponding tag is an RFID tag.

[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By setting a controller electrically connected to the drive mechanism, gripping component, and reading mechanism, the controller can acquire and manage the label information of the products to be put into storage based on the reading mechanism. Furthermore, the controller can control the movement of the drive mechanism and gripping component, causing the gripping component to move to the location of an empty storage box and descend to place the product to be managed into the empty storage box, thus completing the product's entry into storage. It can also move the gripping component to the location of a matching storage box and descend to retrieve the product to be managed from the matching storage box, thus completing the product's exit from storage. Therefore, this inbound / outbound management device can achieve automatic product entry and exit without manual intervention, improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description
