Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage devices, and in particular to an intelligent material rack. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development and widespread application of SMT (Surface Mount Technology), the development of inductive intelligent racks for intelligent storage management of tray-mounted components has been very rapid. Among the inductive intelligent racks currently in use, photoelectric detection intelligent racks dominate the market.

[0003] The photoelectric detection type intelligent material rack in related technologies adopts a sensing and monitoring mode with the sensor located at the lower front of the storage unit. The disadvantage of this method is that when the equipment user actually uses the intelligent material rack, especially when operating the high-density storage intelligent material rack, the material tray needs to be inserted into the material slot formed between two adjacent baffles. However, the tray often gets stuck (i.e., the material tray gets stuck on the storage position separator baffle). At this time, the sensor at the bottom of the baffle has already detected the material tray insertion action and regards the material tray as successfully placed into the storage unit. If the stuck material tray is removed and put back into the storage unit, it will cause the equipment to make a mistake in the removal operation and trigger the system alarm. Manual intervention is required to eliminate the erroneous data and clear the system alarm, which greatly reduces the user's work efficiency.

[0004] Furthermore, in actual use of smart racks, users often encounter electronic materials with abnormal packaging, such as large-sized anti-static bags, deformed trays, or trays with broken or detached hooks. In photoelectric detection-type smart racks, the sensor is located at the insertion point of the electronic tray. During tray insertion, the relative displacement between the tray and the sensor is significant (generally at least 120mm), easily leading to contact. This causes defective or deformed packaging to rub against or even hook onto the sensor surface, damaging or even detaching the sensor, significantly reducing equipment efficiency and increasing equipment and system maintenance costs. Sometimes, the system even fails to detect sensor damage or failure, resulting in data distortion and causing warehouse data inconsistencies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an intelligent material rack.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: A smart material rack includes: Material rack; Multiple frames are arranged at intervals from top to bottom on the material rack; and both ends of the multiple frames are respectively connected to the material rack. The frame includes a crossbeam, a top beam, and multiple baffles; the multiple baffles are spaced apart and their two ends are respectively connected to the crossbeam and the top beam; a material trough is formed between two adjacent baffles, and a material tray is horizontally inserted into the material trough for storage; Multiple sensors are provided, each of which is located at one end of the multiple baffles near the top beam; or, the multiple sensors are spaced apart on the top beam and are respectively matched with the material trough.

[0007] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent material rack, each of the material troughs preferably has a first contact surface and a second contact surface at its top and bottom, respectively, to support the material tray; each of the material troughs has a stop in the middle to support the side of the material tray, and the stop, together with the first contact surface and the second contact surface, forms a three-point support to support the material tray.

[0008] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent material rack, the position of the gear position preferably satisfies the condition that it abuts against the center of the material tray.

[0009] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent material rack, the first contact surfaces and / or the second contact surfaces in two adjacent material troughs are preferably arranged at different heights.

[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent material rack, the reserved distance between two adjacent upper and lower skeletons is preferably slightly larger than the diameter of the material tray.

[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent material rack, preferably two crossbeams are provided, the top beam is located between the two crossbeams, and the multiple baffles share one top beam.

[0012] Furthermore, the intelligent material rack preferably also includes a control board installed on the top beam, the control board being electrically connected to a plurality of the sensors respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent material rack, the sensor is preferably an infrared sensor, which is disposed at one end of the baffle near the top beam, and is used to transmit and receive detection signals to the material tray.

[0014] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent material rack, the sensors are preferably infrared emitting modules and infrared receiving modules. Each of the baffles is equipped with an infrared emitting module and an infrared receiving module at one end near the top beam. The infrared emitting modules and infrared receiving modules on two adjacent baffles are correspondingly arranged. The infrared emitting modules are used to transmit detection signals to the infrared receiving modules on the adjacent baffles, and the infrared receiving modules receive the detection signals.

[0015] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent material rack, the sensor is preferably a pressure sensor, which is disposed on the top beam and partially extends into the material trough, for detecting the pressure signal after the material tray is placed in.

[0016] The following are the beneficial effects of implementing this utility model: When a common problem of tray jamming occurs during user operation (i.e., the tray is stuck on the storage space divider), the sensor will not detect the tray and therefore will not report a material placement signal to the system. At this time, the user can freely remove the tray without triggering a system alarm. The user also does not need to perform alarm processing operations that are often required by other intelligent material racks. The sensor will only detect the tray after it is completely and correctly placed in place, which greatly improves the work efficiency of the operator. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, it should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "longitudinal," "horizontal," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "head," and "tail" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They are only for the convenience of describing this technical solution and do not indicate that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0019] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," "fixing," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. When an component is referred to as being "on" or "below" another component, the component can be located "directly" or "indirectly" on the other component, or there may be one or more intermediary components. The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are only for the convenience of describing this technical solution and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first," "second," "third," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, and circuits are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0021] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, some embodiments of this utility model disclose an intelligent material rack, which includes a material rack 60, multiple skeletons 10, and sensors 20. The multiple skeletons 10 are arranged sequentially and at intervals from top to bottom on the material rack 60; and the two ends of the multiple skeletons 10 are respectively connected to the material rack 60.

[0022] In some embodiments, the reserved spacing between two adjacent skeletons 10 is slightly larger than the diameter of the tray. Understandably, the reserved spacing between a skeleton 10 and the adjacent upper skeleton 10 is slightly larger than the diameter of the tray, so as to allow for free access to the tray while facilitating the arrangement of more skeletons 10 at intervals from top to bottom on the rack 60.

[0023] For reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the frame 10 may include a crossbeam 11, a top beam 12, and multiple baffles 13. The baffles 13 are spaced apart and connected at both ends to the crossbeam 11 and the top beam 12, respectively. A trough 130 is formed between two adjacent baffles 13. Due to the limited spacing between adjacent frames, the material tray is generally inserted into the trough 130 horizontally. Understandably, the crossbeam 11 and the top beam 12 are positioned at different heights, so that when the material tray is placed in the trough 130, the crossbeam 11 and the top beam 12 respectively support and limit the bottom and top of the material tray, while the two adjacent baffles 13 support and limit the material tray on both sides.

[0024] Refer again Figure 1 In some embodiments, two crossbeams 11 may be provided, with a top beam 12 located between the two crossbeams 11, forming two rows of storage positions. Multiple baffles 13 share one top beam 12. Understandably, the two crossbeams 11 are arranged in parallel intervals, and the top beam 12 is located between the two crossbeams 11 and is higher than the two crossbeams 11. Baffles 13 are respectively provided between the two crossbeams 11 and the top beam 12 to form opposing material troughs 130, so that more material trays can be placed on its frame 10.

[0025] Continue to refer to Figure 3 Each trough 130 has a first contact surface 131 and a second contact surface 132 on its upper and lower sides, respectively, to support the material tray. In other words, the first contact surface 131 is formed on the crossbeam 11, supporting the bottom of the material tray. The second contact surface 132 is formed on the top beam 12, supporting the top of the material tray. The first contact surface 131 and the second contact surface 132 are symmetrically arranged. Each trough 130 has a stop 133 in the middle to support the side of the material tray. In other words, the stop 133 is formed on the stop bar 13, supporting the side of the material tray. The stop 133, together with the first contact surface 131 and the second contact surface 132, forms a three-point support to support the material tray. It can be understood that the stop 133, the first contact surface 131, and the second contact surface 132 respectively support and limit the material tray at three positions, thereby fixing the material tray placed in the trough 130.

[0026] In some embodiments, the position of the stop 133 satisfies the condition of being close to the center of the tray. In other words, the stop 133 is positioned close to the center of the tray to avoid limiting the support area of ​​the tray too much, which could cause the tray to fall.

[0027] It can also be understood that in some embodiments, a portion of the baffle 13 is vertically positioned relative to the top beam 12. Since the top beam 12 is positioned higher than the crossbeam 11, the remaining portion of the baffle 13 is inclined downwards and connected to the crossbeam 11. Currently, in other embodiments, the baffle 13 may also have an arc-shaped structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the baffle 13 may also be configured in other ways; for example, the baffle 13 may have an arc-shaped structure, or the entire baffle 13 may have an inclined structure.

[0028] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first contact surfaces 131 in two adjacent material trays 130 are arranged at different heights. It can be understood that since the bottom of the tray is supported on the first contact surface 131, when two adjacent trays are placed on the first contact surfaces 131 at different heights, the two adjacent trays will form an alternating height arrangement to facilitate the handling by the staff.

[0029] Of course, in some embodiments, the second contact surfaces 132 in two adjacent material trays 130 can also be arranged in an alternating manner. Since the top of the tray rests on the second contact surface 132, when two adjacent trays are placed on the alternating second contact surfaces 132, the two trays will form an alternating arrangement to facilitate handling by the operator. It should be noted that either the first contact surface 131 or the second contact surface 132 can be arranged in an alternating manner, or both can be arranged in an alternating manner.

[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, sensor 20 is an infrared sensor 21. The infrared sensor 21 is located at one end of the baffle 13 near the top beam 12. Understandably, when the tray is placed into the trough 130, the tray is first inserted into the trough 130 from the crossbeam 11. Only after the tray is fully inserted will it contact the top beam 12. The infrared sensor 21 can emit and receive detection signals; it emits a detection signal to the tray, and the signal returns to the infrared sensor after detecting the tray, thus detecting whether the tray has been placed.

[0031] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the sensor 20 is an infrared emitting module 22 and an infrared receiving module 23. Each stop bar 13 is equipped with an infrared emitting module 22 and an infrared receiving module 23 at one end near the top beam 12. The infrared emitting modules 22 and infrared receiving modules 23 on two adjacent stop bars 13 are correspondingly arranged. It can be understood that the infrared emitting module 22 is used to emit detection signals to the infrared receiving modules 23 on the adjacent stop bars 13, and the infrared receiving modules 23 receive the detection signals to detect whether the material tray has been placed.

[0032] like Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, sensor 20 is pressure sensor 24, which is disposed on top beam 12 and partially extends into feed chute 130, for detecting the pressure signal after the tray is placed in. Understandably, the tray is pressed against pressure sensor 24 after being placed in, and pressure sensor 24 can detect the placement of the tray.

[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a control panel 30 mounted on the top beam 12 is also included (see reference). Figure 4 Multiple sensors 20 are electrically connected to the control board 30, which controls and receives the detection signals from the sensors 20.

[0034] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, when the sensor 20 is an infrared sensor 21, the control board 30 includes a main body 31 and a plurality of extensions 32 connected to the main body 31 (see reference). Figure 4 The main body 31 is installed on the top beam 12, and multiple extensions 32 are respectively installed on multiple baffles 13. The infrared sensor 21 is installed on the extension 32.

[0035] In some embodiments, when the sensor 20 is an infrared emitting module 22 and an infrared receiving module 23, the control board 30 includes a main body 31 and a plurality of extensions 32 connected to the main body 31. The main body 31 is mounted on the top beam 12, and the plurality of extensions 32 are respectively mounted on a plurality of baffles 13. The infrared emitting module 22 and the infrared receiving module 23 are respectively mounted on the extensions 32.

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, when sensor 20 is pressure sensor 24, pressure sensor 24 is mounted on control board 30.

[0037] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of this utility model, the above-mentioned technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made, all of which fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
