Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turnover cabinet technology, and specifically to a turnover cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] A storage cabinet is a type of cabinet used for storing and managing goods, widely used in fields such as power and healthcare, for example, for storing and managing electricity meters. Existing storage cabinets include metering cabinets, which have statistical measurement functions and mostly use RFID to read the electronic tags on items for statistical purposes. Specifically, the cabinet has multiple storage cells, each equipped with an RFID UHF antenna. The RFID antenna reads the electronic information from the tags on the items in that cell, enabling the management of electricity meter entry and exit and inventory checks. While RFID is quick for inventory checks, cross-coding often occurs in practice, leading to the misreading of items in adjacent storage cells and causing errors in the count. Utility Model Content

Each storage cell includes a shelf, and each shelf includes a frame and a panel. The frame includes a left cross brace and a right cross brace. A left guide block is provided on the left cross brace along its length direction, and a right guide block is provided on the right cross brace along its length direction. A middle cross beam is fixedly connected between the left and right guide blocks. A first driving mechanism is provided on the frame or panel to drive the middle cross beam and the left and right guide blocks to move as a whole. A sliding block is provided on the middle cross beam along its length direction, and a second driving mechanism is provided on the left and right guide blocks to drive the sliding block to move. A camera is provided on the sliding block for identifying information codes on the items below.

Two adjusting bolts are provided on the mounting bracket. The two ends of the rotating shaft have through holes for the adjusting bolts to move through. Each adjusting bolt is equipped with a limit nut.

[0008] The number of first pulleys is two and they are spaced apart from each other on the left and right. The number of second pulleys is also two and they are spaced apart from each other on the left and right. The number of first conveyor belts is also two and they are installed on the corresponding first pulleys and second pulleys.

[0009] The first drive motor is a dual-head motor, and the power shafts at both ends of the dual-head motor are respectively connected to two corresponding pulleys for transmission.
