Carrying Device Tray Detection for Automated Warehousing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In intelligent warehousing, transport robots lack the ability to detect the weight of goods being carried, requiring manual verification which is inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A carrying device equipped with a detection device mounted on a tray, which can detect the weight of goods, along with a telescopic arm and rotary mechanism for efficient movement and alignment, and an image detection device for additional information, integrated into a transport robot.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual detection of goods is used, then the transport robot structure remains simple, but the inventory management efficiency deteriorates due to time-consuming manual verification
Solution Approach 1:
The detection device is integrated with the tray to form a unified carrying device, combining goods holding and detection functions into a single integrated structure that automatically detects goods during transport
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying device performs self-detection of goods through the integrated detection device, eliminating the need for external manual verification and enabling automatic inventory management
2Extent of automation
If a detection device is added to the tray, then goods can be detected automatically, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection device is merged with the tray structure, where the detection device is mounted on or integrated into the tray, combining goods holding and detection functions into a single integrated structure
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying device is designed to perform multiple functions: holding goods on the tray and simultaneously detecting goods through the integrated detection device, making the system multi-functional
3Loss of time
If staff manually detect goods, then the carrying device remains simple, but time is lost in verification processes
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying device performs self-detection of goods through the integrated detection device, eliminating the need for external manual verification and enabling automatic inventory management
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical detection process is replaced with an automated detection device that can identify and track goods automatically, substituting human labor with automated sensing technology
