Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of warehousing equipment technology, specifically relating to an infrared positioning-type medicine stack spacing controller. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, large pharmaceutical logistics companies typically employ automated warehousing systems, such as AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) robots combined with infrared scanning equipment, to automatically place and control the spacing of medicine stacks on shelves. These systems boast a high level of intelligence and automation, capable of classifying, handling, and placing medicine stacks without human intervention. Furthermore, they utilize infrared ranging or laser positioning technology to ensure that each batch of medicines meets the prescribed spacing requirements on the shelves. The advantages of this technology include high precision, high efficiency, strong data traceability, and seamless integration with WMS (Warehouse Management System) for end-to-end digital management.
[0003] However, these high-end automated equipment have significant limitations. First, their high cost, including not only the purchase price of the equipment itself but also subsequent maintenance, upgrades, and system integration expenses, is prohibitive for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with limited financial resources. Second, these devices are large and suitable for large-scale standardized warehousing environments, but not for small pharmaceutical warehouses with limited space and irregular layouts. Furthermore, system deployment requires significant technical support and professional operator training, posing a challenge to the human resources of SMEs. In contrast, traditional manual operation remains the primary method used by most small and medium-sized pharmaceutical storage units. Specifically, when placing medicines on shelves, staff use rulers and measuring tapes to measure and mark the required 5cm spacing, then arrange the stacks according to the markings. However, repeated measurements are required before each placement, which is time-consuming and affects overall operational efficiency. Due to the lack of standardized tools, measurement results are easily influenced by the operator's experience and skill level, leading to inconsistent stack spacing and even non-compliance with GSP regulations. Each time a shelf is changed or the stack position is adjusted, remeasurement is required, resulting in a large amount of repetitive work. Tools such as rulers can only provide temporary references. Obstruction of view or misreading of the scale during placement will affect the final result. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an infrared positioning-type drug stack spacing controller to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An infrared positioning-type drug stack spacing controller includes:
[0007] The frame has a threaded rod movably installed inside it. The threaded rod has two threaded segments with opposite directions of rotation. Each threaded segment has a threaded block threaded onto it. A laser pointer is connected to one side of the threaded block. A knob is connected to one end of the threaded rod. A scale is provided on one side of the frame. A pointer is provided on one side of the threaded block. The pointer is aligned with the axis of the laser pointer. Two base plates are connected to one side of the frame. A locking plate is connected between the two base plates. Two bolts are movably installed on one side of the locking plate. A rubber disc is fixedly installed at the end of each bolt.
[0008] Preferably, a threaded rod is movably mounted inside the frame via a bearing, and two threaded blocks are movably mounted on the outside of the threaded rod. The two threaded blocks are symmetrically arranged and both of them slide against the inner wall of the frame. A knob is movably mounted on the outside of the frame near the threaded rod, and the knob is connected to the shaft of the threaded rod via a drive.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly installed on the side of the threaded block away from the frame, a laser pointer is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block, a scale is provided on one side of the frame, and a pointer is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block, with the pointer pointing to the scale.
[0010] Preferably, base plates are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the frame, and magnetic absorbing pieces are embedded in the side of the base plate away from the frame through a slot. A rubber layer is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate, and a positioning plate is fixedly connected between the base plates. Two positioning blocks are symmetrically installed on one side of the positioning plate.
[0011] Preferably, both positioning blocks are threaded with bolts, and a rubber disc is fixedly installed at the end of the bolt near the base plate, and an anti-detachment plate is fixedly installed on the side of the bolt near the rubber disc.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] (1) This utility model drives the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate by rotating the knob, which drives the two threaded blocks to move synchronously, thereby precisely controlling the distance between the two laser pointers and making the distance between the medicine stacks reach the set value. This mechanical linkage method avoids human measurement errors and ensures that each adjustment can achieve the expected accuracy, improving the consistency and standardization of medicine stack placement. It can not only meet the minimum medicine stack spacing requirement of 5cm specified by GSP, but also flexibly adjust to other spacing values according to the storage conditions, packaging size and warehouse space layout of different medicines, improving the applicability and flexibility of the device. The laser pointer can project a clearly visible beam line on the shelf surface as a reference line for medicine stack placement. Compared with the traditional method of relying on marking points or temporary lines, the laser beam has stronger visibility and is not affected by ambient light. It can still maintain a good indication effect in dim warehouse or nighttime operation conditions.
[0014] (2) The bottom of the base plate of this utility model is equipped with a magnetic plate and a rubber layer, which can be firmly adsorbed on the surface of the metal shelf. The rubber layer increases the friction and improves the overall stability. The positioning plate is close to the edge of the shelf, so that the whole device is relatively horizontal with the shelf, thereby ensuring that the laser beam will not tilt or deviate. This structural design effectively improves the accurate positioning ability of the medicine stack and avoids the spacing error caused by the angle deviation. The structure is simple. The installation process only requires placing the device on the edge of the shelf, making the positioning plate abut against the edge of the shelf, and tightening the bolts to press the rubber plate against the bottom of the shelf to complete the fixation. The whole process does not require complicated tools or professional training. The operation is simple and quick and suitable for frequent switching between multiple shelves.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0023] Example 1:
[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, an infrared positioning-type drug stack spacing controller includes:
[0025] The frame 1 has a threaded rod 2 movably installed inside it. The threaded rod 2 has two threaded segments with opposite directions of rotation. Each threaded segment is threaded with a threaded block 3. A laser pointer 6 is connected to one side of the threaded block 3. A knob 4 is connected to one end of the threaded rod 2. A scale 7 is set on one side of the frame 1. A pointer 8 is set on one side of the threaded block 3. The pointer 8 is set in line with the axis of the laser pointer 6. Two base plates 9 are connected to one side of the frame 1. A locking plate 12 is connected between the two base plates. Two bolts 14 are movably installed on one side of the locking plate 12. A rubber disc 15 is fixedly installed at the end of each of the two bolts 14.
[0026] Specifically, a threaded rod 2 is movably installed inside the frame 1 via a bearing. Two threaded blocks 3 are movably installed on the outside of the threaded rod 2. The two threaded blocks 3 are symmetrically arranged and slide against the inner wall of the frame 1. A knob 4 is movably installed on the outside of the frame 1 near the threaded rod 2. The knob 4 is connected to the shaft of the threaded rod 2 via a drive. A connecting block 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the threaded block 3 away from the frame 1. A laser pointer 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block 5. A scale 7 is set on one side of the frame 1. A pointer 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block 5. The pointer 8 points to the scale 7.
[0027] As can be seen from the above, since the threaded rod 2 has two threaded segments with opposite directions of rotation, when the threaded rod 2 rotates, it will drive the two threaded blocks 3 to move closer or further apart, thereby changing the distance between the two laser pointers 6. During the movement of the threaded blocks 3, the pointer 8 will move synchronously. The distance between the two laser pointers 6 is confirmed according to the scale 7 pointed to by the pointer 8. The laser pointer 6 projects a visible beam of light, which serves as a reference line for the placement of the medicine stack. The medicine stack can be placed along the beam of light, so that the distance between the front and back stacks can be controlled to be consistent.
[0028] Specifically, base plates 9 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the frame 1. A magnetic absorbing piece 10 is embedded in the side of the base plate 9 away from the frame 1 through a slot. A rubber layer 11 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate 9. A positioning plate 12 is fixedly connected between the base plates 9. Two positioning blocks 13 are symmetrically installed on one side of the positioning plate 12. Bolts 14 are threaded inside the two positioning blocks 13. A rubber disc 15 is fixedly installed on the end of the bolt 14 near the base plate 9. An anti-detachment piece 16 is fixedly installed on the side of the bolt 14 near the rubber disc 15.
[0029] As can be seen from the above, the base plate 9 is used to support the overall device. The magnetic suction plate 10 embedded at the bottom can be attached to the metal shelf to improve stability. At the same time, a rubber layer 11 is also provided at the bottom to further increase friction, prevent slippage, and protect the shelf surface from damage. The positioning plate 12 is connected between the two base plates 9 to abut against the edge of the shelf to ensure that the device is placed horizontally. The bolt 14 can rotate to move the rubber plate 15 closer to or away from the shelf. After the bolt 14 rotates, it pushes the rubber plate 15 to press against the bottom of the shelf. The rubber plate 15 has an elastic buffer function, which can firmly fit the bottom of the shelf and improve the overall stability. The anti-detachment plate 16 can prevent the bolt 14 from detaching from the positioning block 13.
[0030] In use, first place the device on the shelf. The magnetic plate 10 is attached to the shelf surface, and the locking plate 12 abuts against the edge of the shelf. The bolts 14 and rubber disc 15 are used for further reinforcement to ensure that the device is stable and level. Rotate the knob 4 to drive the threaded rod 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the two threaded blocks 3 to move in opposite directions. The threaded blocks 3 drive the laser pointer 6 to move synchronously. Adjust the distance between the two until the required spacing of the medicine stacks (such as 5cm) is reached. The pointer 8 always keeps consistent with the threaded blocks 3 during the movement and indicates the current spacing value on the scale 7 for easy confirmation by the user. After the laser pointer 6 is turned on, it projects two parallel beams on the shelf as visual guide lines for placing the medicine stacks. The staff only needs to place the medicine stacks along the beam lines to achieve precise and uniform spacing control.
[0031] The accompanying drawings of the embodiments disclosed in this utility model only involve the structures involved in the embodiments disclosed in this utility model. Other structures can refer to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
