[0032] Example 1

[0033] The tablet device provided in this embodiment has the following structure: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a housing 1 and a touch screen 2, a control board 3, and a battery assembly 4 with switchable power supply lines disposed within the housing 1. The battery assembly 4 is connected to the control board 3, and the control board 3 is connected to the touch screen 2. In use, by switching the power supply lines of the battery assembly 4 and the control board 3, the hot-swappable plate of the tablet device is kept powered, thereby extending the battery life of the tablet device.

[0034] Based on the above structure, this application enables the tablet device to be hot-swapped without losing power by switching the power supply lines between the battery assembly 4 and the control board 3, thereby indirectly extending the tablet device's battery life.

[0035] Specifically, the battery assembly 4 includes a main battery and a secondary battery connected to the control board 3, and each main battery and secondary battery is configured to be at least one.

[0036] The main battery has a capacity of 10000mAh and the secondary battery has a capacity of 1000mAh. Both the main battery and the secondary battery are electrically connected to the hot-swappable circuit integrated on the control board 3. When the main battery is powered off, the power supply can be automatically switched to the secondary battery to avoid interruption of the tablet device's operation when the battery is replaced.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the tablet device further includes a barcode recognition component 5 connected to the control board 3 for recognizing the barcode information of the material.

[0038] In the prior art, the barcode recognition component 5 is either fixed in a specific position or connected to the controller via a connecting cable, which limits its use. In this application, a barcode recognition component 5 is set inside the housing 1 of the tablet device and connected to the control board 3 to recognize the barcode information of the material and send the recognized material barcode information to the control board 3 for storage, transmission and other processing, and then send it to the touch screen 2 for display, which improves the functionality of the tablet device and the convenience of barcode recognition, making it convenient for users. Preferably, the barcode recognition component 5 is an existing product such as a radio frequency identification component or a QR code recognition component.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the tablet device also includes an identification key connected to the control board 3. Pressing the identification key causes the control board 3 to control the barcode identification component 5 to perform barcode identification operations, thus avoiding the waste of power or invalid identification by keeping the barcode identification component 5 on for a long time.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the tablet device also includes an HDMI interface 6 connected to the control board 3, and the HDMI interface 6 is connected to an external device via an HDMI cable to realize digital audio transmission between the tablet device and the external device.

[0041] The HDMI 6 interface is a Micro connector. When connected to an external device via an HDMI cable, it can simultaneously transmit uncompressed audio and video signals, enhancing the interaction capabilities between the tablet device and the external device and expanding its applications.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the tablet device further includes a power interface and a SIM slot. The housing 1 is provided with a rubber cover 7 that is adapted to the power interface and the SIM slot. By providing the rubber cover 7 to cover the power interface and the SIM slot, dust and moisture are prevented from entering the tablet device when it is not in use, thus ensuring the waterproof and dustproof effect of the tablet device.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the four corners of the housing 1 are provided with arc-shaped protrusions 8. By providing arc-shaped protrusions 8, the strength of the housing 1 can be increased, the corners of the housing 1 can be made smoother, and the damage caused by collisions with other objects can be reduced.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] The warehouse management system provided in this embodiment has the following structure: Figure 3 As shown, it includes a warehouse management module 9 and at least one tablet device as described in Embodiment 1 connected thereto. When in use, the tablet device is used to identify the barcode information of the materials and the identification result is sent to the warehouse management module 9 for storage and recording.

[0046] Specifically, at least one tablet device is connected to the warehouse management module 9 via wireless connection technology. The tablet device is carried by the warehouse management personnel to facilitate the identification of barcodes of incoming and outgoing materials. The identification results are then sent to the warehouse management module 9, which records information such as the time and quantity of material entry and exit, making it convenient for warehouse management personnel to view entry records, exit records, and material inventory.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the warehouse management system further includes a temperature and humidity sensor 10 and a temperature and humidity control device 12 connected to the warehouse management module 9. The temperature and humidity sensor 10 detects the temperature and humidity of the storage area in real time and sends the detection results to the warehouse management module 9. The warehouse management module 9 controls the operation of the temperature and humidity control device 12 according to the detection results.

[0048] The temperature and humidity control device 12 is an air conditioner, dehumidifier, or humidifier. The storage management module 9 is equipped with a suitable storage temperature and humidity threshold range. When the temperature and humidity sensor 10 detects that the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the threshold range, the storage management module 9 does not perform any processing. When the temperature and humidity exceed the threshold range, the storage management module 9 sends a signal to the controller of the air conditioner, dehumidifier, or humidifier to control the air conditioner, dehumidifier, or humidifier to work and adjust the temperature and humidity of the storage area to the threshold range.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the warehouse management system further includes a logistics device 11 connected to the warehouse management module 9. In use, the warehouse management module 9 plans a forward path for the logistics device 11.

[0050] The logistics equipment 11 includes intelligent guided vehicles (AGVs), intelligent forklifts, and other intelligent transportation equipment. In use, users utilize these logistics equipment 11 to store or retrieve materials. The warehouse management module 9 stores information such as a map of the storage area, storage indexes of materials in the storage area, and storage quantities. When materials need to be stored or retrieved, the user searches for the storage indexes of materials in the storage area on the warehouse management module 9, determines the current and target stacking positions of the materials based on this information, plans the corresponding forward path, and sends it to the control terminal of the logistics equipment 11, thereby controlling each logistics equipment 11 to move forward and transfer materials.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific management method of the warehouse management system provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0052] Step S1: Log in to the warehouse management module 9, verify the user's operation permissions, and determine whether the user has the permission to operate in the warehouse management module 9. If the user does not have the operation permission, repeat the operation to verify again. If the user has the operation permission, automatically jump to the operation interface to facilitate the user to query the storage area and inventory quantity of each material.

[0053] Step S2: On the operation interface of the warehouse management module 9, view the inbound and outbound requests, plan the forward path of the logistics equipment 11 according to the current stacking position and target stacking position of the materials, and send the planned forward path to the control terminal of the logistics equipment 11. The logistics equipment 11 moves to the starting position of the forward path, that is, the current stacking position of the materials.

[0054] Warehouse management personnel use tablet devices to identify the barcodes of materials, and then send the identified barcode information to the warehouse management module 9. The materials with identified barcodes are then stacked on the logistics equipment 11. The logistics equipment 11 carries the materials to the end of the forward path, which is the target stacking position of the materials, thus completing the material inbound and outbound process.

[0055] In step S3, the warehouse management module 9 calculates the material inbound and outbound data based on the received material identification information, and generates corresponding inbound and outbound record sheets for users to view and print.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, when the warehouse management system is running, the temperature and humidity sensor 10 is used to detect the temperature and humidity data of the storage area in real time and send it to the warehouse management module 9 for comparison with the pre-stored temperature and humidity thresholds. When the detected temperature and humidity data is within the threshold range, the warehouse management module 9 does not process it. When the detected temperature and humidity data is outside the threshold range, the warehouse management module 9 sends a signal to the temperature and humidity adjustment device 12 to control its operating status and cause the temperature and humidity data to be adjusted to the threshold range.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
