The shelf panel receiving groove 124 is formed so as to accommodate a part of the front side of the shelf panel 13 by inserting a center portion of the side fixing bracket 120 in the height direction side up to the front side stand 110 And the shelf panel receiving grooves 124 are provided to separate the side mounts 120 from the upper and lower sides. Thus, the durability can be further enhanced by covering the upper and lower portions of the side mounts 120 with the support pillars in a state where the shelf panel 13 is disposed in the shelf panel receiving groove 124.

As described above, it is possible to further include the hook 123 to allow the side fixture 120 to be more securely coupled with the post.

The annular portion 123 is formed at the extended end of the horizontal finishing portion 122 so as to provide a space through which the bolts, screws, etc. can pass through the support pillars 11, Is bent toward the hole 11c side, that is, toward the front side with reference to the drawing, and is slightly extended. That is, as shown in FIG. 2B, since the annular portion 123 is fixed to the side wall of the assembling through-hole 11c in a locking manner, the covering device 100 of the present invention and the holding angle 11 So that they can be bonded more stably.

[

The covering device 100 of the present invention includes the front panel 110 and the side panel 120 as well as the shelf panel receiving grooves 124 and has a pair of pillars 11 1) and 11 (2), respectively, so that a pair of angles can be bound horizontally so as to be stably arranged. Thus, when the rack system 1 is used for a long time The probability that the arrangement between the unit pieces 10 is disturbed can be drastically reduced. The covering devices 100 are preferably provided at a predetermined interval along the height direction of the struts in terms of further enhancing the coupling supporting force.

4 is an exemplary view and a block diagram showing a state where the controller of the present invention is mounted on a front stand.

The covering device 100 according to the present invention not only maintains a stable standing structure beyond the structural function of mutually connecting the pillars 11 (1) and 11 (2) adjacent to each other unit 10, It is possible to detect a real-time environment in which a rack is installed adjacent to a state such as whether a current is short-circuited, notify the manager (worker) through the alarm module 220 or notify the central control center 250 .

To this end, the controller 200 provided in FIG. 3 includes a sensor module 210 including at least one sensor and an alarm module 220 including at least one alarm unit and a control module 230 for controlling the alarm module 220 And performs an alarm / communication control function as well as a detection control in a state where an alarm is detected.

At this time, the controller 200 is not limited to a specific position of the covering apparatus 100 but may be installed or connected to various positions, or even to a position spaced a certain distance from the front stand 110.

In particular, the controller 200 may be implemented on a printed circuit board (PCB) or a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) having a specific thickness on the inner surface of the front stand 110 to ensure the convenience and intuitiveness of management and control. Alternatively, the inner surface of the front stand 110 may be manufactured as a PCB, and all or a part of the inner surface of the front stand 110 may be implemented by the controller 200 . Here, in the case where the front stand 110 is made of a PCB, the side holding plates 120 may be joined to both sides to complete the covering apparatus. In addition, as will be described later, it is also possible to form a through space at one side of the front stand 110 and insert a controller 200 having a modular block structure.

The power supply unit for supplying power to the controller 200 based on the printed circuit board is not shown in the figure but has a battery rechargeable structure such that the battery rechargeable structure is directed toward the outer surface of the front stand or toward the outer surface of the case or housing So that the battery can be replaced by opening and closing the opening / closing cover. Of course, the power supply unit is not limited to the above-described battery charging type structure but may be configured with an external power supply structure. In this case, the power supply unit may be configured to receive external power through a cable extending to the front stand 110 .

Specifically, the controller 200 of the present invention includes a sensor module 210, an alarm module 220, and a control module 230.

The sensor module 210 which is a component of the controller 200 includes a sensor and more specifically includes a touch sensor 211 and a current sensor 212, a vibration sensor 213 and a pressure sensor 214 And may include at least any one of them.

The contact detection sensors 211 are provided over as wide a region as possible on the inner surface of the front stand 110 or on at least two spots at different points in the inner surface region, (2)) and the covering device (specifically, the inner surface of the front stand) are normally in contact with each other.

The contact detection sensor 211 may be any one of a proximity sensor 211a and a touch sensor 211b.

The proximity sensor 211a senses the proximity / spacing state of the support, that is, the state that the support is distanced from the inner side of the front mount 110 by a certain distance. When the support is in close contact with the inner side of the mount 110, And a sensing signal is generated when the inner surface of the front stand 110 is separated from the support by a predetermined distance as an abnormal mode or a dangerous mode.

The touch sensor 211b may include a touch pad implemented based on any one of an electrostatic type and a pressure sensitive type. The touch sensor 211b measures the contact area with the support by measuring the contact area of the support contacting the touch pad. And performs a calculation function. Here, the contact ratio refers to the area where the support contacts with the entire touch pad area, and the information including the contact ratio calculated by the touch sensor 211b is defined as contact sensing information (a kind of signal that can be represented by numerical value) do.

That is, the touch sensor 211b can detect the contact ratio with the support on the basis of the touch pad. For example, when the touch sensor 211b contacts 90% or more of the area of the touch pad, the touch sensor 211b is in a normal mode, The warning mode is set to 50% to 70% or less, and the danger mode is set to 50% or less. In the normal mode or the first warning mode, the warning mode is set to 5 To the central control center 250, which will be described later, once per 7 days, while in the second / critical mode, the contact detection signal is transmitted to the central control center 250 once or twice a day It is possible to carry out centralized management according to a different management method.

The contact detection sensor 211 detects the contact state (the contact ratio as described above) between the support posts 11 (1) and 11 (2) and the front stand 110 so that the covering device 100 can stably In other words, when the post and the front stand 110 are separated from each other, the post or the front stand 110 may be distorted by a load due to an external force or by a plurality of articles housed therein It can be judged that it does not provide a stable support environment.

As described above, the principle of applying the contact detection sensor 211 according to the present invention is not limited to the maintenance life due to the engagement / contact of the pillars 11 (1) and 11 (2) or the covering device 100, It is possible to provide an objective criterion for reliably evaluating the stability of the rack structure.

The current detection sensor 212 is a kind of leakage detection sensor that detects a leak current unnecessarily flowing in a support and provides a basis for detecting whether a short circuit is present.

In general, there are various kinds of articles stored and supported in the shelf panel 13, and there exist a large number of devices that are driven by power supply. For example, a shelf panel 13 of a rack installed in a store can accommodate a display device such as a lighting device such as an LED or a TV, and in the case of a warehouse, the lighting device can also be mounted on one side of the support. Especially, in a space such as a warehouse, a large number of racks are installed for a long period of time. Therefore, a power supply driving device or a long extended cable for supplying power to a variable environment such as moisture and dust in a warehouse is adversely affected, There is little room for this.

The current detection sensor 212 of the present invention can detect an unnecessary current in the strut, that is, a current in the ground, that is, And a function of generating a leakage current signal when leakage current is detected. The current sensor 212 may be provided with a ground contacting means such as a relay or may be configured to be exposed to the surface of the controller so as to be easily brought into contact with the ground, thereby detecting whether leakage current is generated in the ground To save battery power, it is possible to set / control to detect leakage current occurrence once in a certain cycle.

The vibration detection sensor 213 performs a function of detecting vibration information (vibration intensity, vibration period, impact, etc.) generated in the rack including the support in a state of being in contact with the support, It is possible to use micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) or to use piezoelectric principles by piezo elements.

Such a vibration detection sensor 213 can predict the vibration of the floor around the rack installation or the rack through vibration transmitted from the pillars 11 (1) and 11 (2) or generated from the rack itself, Especially, when a plurality of pallet racks for storing high-weight storage articles are arranged in a warehouse having two or more storeys rather than a single layer, it is useful for determining whether or not a crowd is attached to the building or fatigue (or cracking or deformation) is increased .

For example, in a warehouse lease situation, a landlord generally reluctantly tries to overtake a warehouse by a rack system installed on a high-rise by a tenant. A rack with a heavy load applied by the vibration detection sensor 213 is installed By periodically measuring and analyzing the vibrations generated in the environment, it is possible to objectively determine whether the building is dangerous, and thus it is possible to reasonably prevent disputes related to the operation of the warehouse, Do.

The pressure-reducing sensor 214 performs a function of measuring a total load or a partial load of the rack. To this end, a pressure-reducing pad including a pressure-reducing sensor is separately provided and supported on the lower end of the column or on one side of the shelf panel 13 Then, it may be connected to one side of the front stand 110, that is, the controller 200 via a cable so as to be capable of signal processing. The pressure sensor senses the load of the rack and detects whether it exceeds a predetermined reference weight.

The alarm module 220, which is another configuration of the controller 200, notifies the manager of a specific situation (dangerous mode) according to the sensor sensing function of the sensor module 210 at all times, It is predicted that the situation where the racks 11 (1), 11 (2)) are separated and predicts that the rack system is inclined or deformed, In one situation, it serves to inform the situation that the excess weight is loaded in the rack.

Specifically, the alarm module 220 may include any one of an LED 221 and a speaker 222.

The LEDs 221 provide a visual alarm function. At least one or more LEDs 221 are attached to the outer surface of the front stand 110 and can be driven in a blinking manner. For example, when the danger signal is detected by the contact detection sensor 211, the LED No. 1 lights up, and when the current detection sensor 212 detects a leakage current exceeding the reference current amount, the LED No. 2 is turned on .

The speaker 222 provides an audible alarm function and outputs alarm sound data stored in a separate memory in the controller 200. [

When the sensor information sensed by the sensor module 210 by the alarm module 220 exceeds the reference value, the administrator can be notified of the specific situation instantaneously. Thus, .

The control module 230 which is a constitution of the controller 200 of the present invention includes a signal recognition unit 231 and a judgment control unit 232 in order to interlock the sensor module 210 and the alarm module 220 .

The signal recognition unit 231 provides a function of receiving and recognizing a sensing signal from at least one sensor of the sensor module 210. When the sensing signal exceeds the predetermined reference state information The controller 220 controls the alarm module 220 to generate an alarm.

Here, the 'reference status information' refers to reference data that is determined numerically in advance for each sensing signal sensed by each sensor, and it is one index that distinguishes stability and risk in a rack installation environment.

The reference status information may be provided to the controller 200 by a manipulation of a setting unit separately provided to the controller 200 (for this, an input unit such as a switch or a touch pad may be provided outside the controller) It is possible to set differently.

The reference condition information may include reference contact condition information (reference contact ratio), reference leakage current amount information, reference vibration occurrence information (which can be divided into vibration intensity and vibration period), and reference weight information corresponding to the sensor described above.

That is, the determination control unit 232 determines whether or not the detection signal that can be expressed by a numerical value exceeds the reference value, and when the detection signal exceeds the reference value, the alarm module 220 may be activated to generate an alarm.

In addition, the determination control unit 232 may include a proximity sensor interlocking part 232a. The proximity sensor 215 is additionally provided on one side of the outer surface of the front stand 110 separately from the proximity sensor 211a provided in the contact sensor 211 so as to detect whether the manager is within a certain radius The proximity sensor interlocking part 232a operates in conjunction with the function of driving the alarm module 220 described above only when the detection signal exceeds the reference value and the proximity sensor 215 receives the proximity signal .

That is, the proximity sensor interlocking part 232a can be set to be driven only when the driving signals of the sensor module 210 and the proximity sensor 215 are simultaneously received. In this case, It is possible to provide an environment in which the battery can be wasted or an inefficient operating situation can be prevented.

In addition, the controller 200 of the present invention may additionally include a communication module 240. The communication module 240 provides a function of performing wired / wireless communication with an external communication device. The communication module 240 may be a wired / wireless communication means such as a cable, a wireless local communication means such as a beacon or a ZigBee, And transmits the sensor information of the module 210 or the determination result determined by the determination control unit 232 to the central control center 250.

The central control center 250 is communicably connected to each of the controllers 200 installed at specific positions of the support, receives the determination information determined by the sensor information or the determination control unit, and performs a function of integrally controlling / managing the control information It acts like a control tower.

The central control center 250 may be implemented in the form of a client server of a manager or a separate control server so that an administrator can check the installation environment of a rack installed at a specific location in real time or at a specific point in time.

In summary, the controller 200 of the present invention includes the communication module 240 to transmit sensor information or determination information to an external device, that is, the central control center 250, It is possible to check the installation environment of the rack more conveniently and more intuitively and to be able to respond more quickly in a dangerous situation.

As described above, the controller 200 can be mounted on the inner surface of the front stand 110. For the convenience of assembly and installation and more efficient and intuitive driving control, the controller 200 shown in FIG. 4 is shown. That is, the controller 200 according to FIG. 4 is mounted on the through hole 150 formed in one side of the front stand 110 as a modular block structure, 210 as a contact detection sensor 211 and a LED as an alarm module.

The controller 200 according to FIGS. 5 and 6 may have a variety of three-dimensional structures, such as a cylindrical structure, a rectangular parallelepiped, a cube, and an ellipsoid, corresponding to the structure of the through hole 150, The chip structure-based size corresponding to 3 to 10% of the area can be made to have a structure / size larger than that, in other words, according to the technical idea of the present invention, it is self- As shown in Fig.

The controller 200 includes a first block 310 exposed on the inner surface of the front stand 110 with a touch sensor 211b and a second block 310 mounted on a lower portion thereof and having a control module 230 A third block 330 having an LED 221 among the alarm modules 220 exposed at the outer surface of the front stand 110 at a lower portion of the second block 320, . ≪ / RTI >

An adhesive layer (compression layer) can be selectively applied between the first to third blocks 310, 320 and 330 and furthermore, between the respective blocks 310, 320 and 330 as well as the empty space of the second block 320, And the opening portion 325 is filled with an elastic body which is made of an elastic material and is capable of absorbing an external impact, thereby stably and durably connecting the blocks 310, 320, and 330 to each other.

Specifically, the first block 310 of the present invention includes at least one of the current sensing sensor 212 and the vibration sensing sensor 213, including the touch sensor 211b, And a vibration sensor (hereinafter referred to as a "sub-sensor" 216) (such as a mounting process).

That is, the first block 310 includes a PCB or an FPCB (Flexible PCB) having electrodes and patterns connected to the touch sensor 211b and the sub sensor 216 by embedding them or other methods, Or a block for receiving / supporting the touch sensor 211b and the sub sensor 216 when the touch sensor 211b and the sub sensor 216 are formed of a module including a PCB of their own, Shaped three-dimensional structure).

In this case, when the first block 310 is a PCB or an FPCB, the first block 310 may be a single-sided circuit board having a circuit formed on its top surface, and a double-sided circuit board having circuits on both top and bottom surfaces. Specifically, when the first block 310 is a double-sided circuit board, the upper surface pattern portion and the lower surface pattern portion in which the circuit is formed through the via hole are patterned through a pattern (or a conductive coating layer) in the conductor / cable / via hole And can be electrically connected.

The top surface pattern portion or the bottom surface pattern portion may be connected by a material such as conductive wire or conductive ink for connecting the touch sensor 211b / sub sensor 216 and the first block 310, and further, It is possible.

In addition, when the first block 310 is a general conductor rather than a PCB, at least one or more via holes may be formed to penetrate the inside of the first block 310 and the touch sensor 211b and the sub sensor 216 may be electrically connected to the second block 320 ) Or other electronic device.

The first block 310 may be subjected to a specific surface treatment on the surface on which the top / bottom pattern portion is formed (the top surface in the case of the cross section and the top or bottom surface in the case of both surfaces). For example, a PSR (Photo Solder Resist) (Top surface pattern portion, bottom surface pattern portion) of the first block 310 can be protected. It is needless to say that the above-described junction circuit (pattern portion) structure can be formed not only in the first block 310 but also in the second and third blocks 320 and 330.

The first and second regions 310a and 310b are provided on the upper surface of the first block 310 having the above-described characteristics. The touch sensor 211b is provided on the first region 310a. (Mounted), and the sub-sensor 216 is included (mounted) in the second area 310b.

Specifically, the first area 310a is formed to occupy a predetermined area at the center of the upper surface of the first block 310, and occupies a position in contact with the support having a surface area capable of sufficiently contacting the touch sensor 211b. The first area 310a is not necessarily formed at the center of the upper surface of the first block 310 but may extend from the center of the first block 310 to one side It is also possible to form it at an off-site.

On the other hand, the second area 310b is adjacent to the first area 310a and occupies an area ranging from the adjacent point of the first area 310a to the peripheral part of the first block 310. [

In addition, when the first block 310 is a rectangular parallelepiped, the first and second regions 310a and 310b may be disposed adjacent to each other along the long side direction or the short side direction of the first block 310.

The touch sensor 211b provided in the first area 310a has a function of reading an electric signal as to whether or not the object is in contact with an object, that is, a support, and transmitting the detection signal to the control module do.

In general, the touch sensor 211b can be classified into an optical type and a semiconductor type. In the optical type, since the power consumption is high, the touch sensor 211b is difficult to be compatible with the first block 310 of the present invention due to its structural characteristics. And a chip assembly having a touch pad connected thereto is applied.

In addition, the sub-sensor 216 provided in the second area 310b may be mounted with any one or both of the current sensing sensor 212 and the vibration sensing sensor 213, And transmits the detection information to the control module 230 as well.

The second block 320 of the present invention is located under the first block 310 and is electrically connected to the first and third blocks 310 and 330 as well as the physical support / It also serves as an intermediate connector.

In other words, the second block 320 acts as a buffer or a bumper or a conduction bridge for the first block 310 providing a sensing function and the third block 330 basically performing an alarm function When the first and third blocks 310 and 330 are pressed with a small thickness, electrical short between patterns formed in the first and third blocks 310 and 330, pressing phenomenon of elements and wires such as the touch sensor 211b, and other unnecessary interference And to provide a physical buffering function for securing a defensive space against an external impact.

In addition, a separate pattern portion is additionally formed on the upper surface to the lower surface of the peripheral portion 323 in the second block 320 to serve as an electrode body for electrically connecting the substrate itself or the first and third blocks 310 and 330 .

In the pattern portion of the second block, the control module 230 composed of a small chip / semiconductor may be mounted to perform the above-described control function.

In particular, the second block 320 is not formed of a single closed curved structure like the first block 310, but has a three-dimensional structure having an open space, that is, a space 322 through which the central portion penetrates, (Not shown).

The space 322 is an embedded type device (control module) formed of a pattern portion (a pattern portion having a three-dimensional shape such as a wire bonding structure) formed on the lower surface of the first block 310 and the upper surface of the third block 330, A circuit constituted by protrusions by a chip (touch sensor) may be compressed or deformed to become structurally unstable, and at the same time, a sufficient buffering agent is filled therein to form a more secure buffer structure (that is, Intermediate support by buffer). ≪ / RTI >

The supporter 324 can be physically separated from the opening 325 in cooperation with the opening 325. In other words, when a device pattern such as the control module 230 having a chip structure is formed on the supporter 324 made of a substrate The spacers 322 and the openings 325 function as a complete insulating region so that each supporter 324 can be separated to ensure independent driving of the device.

The space 322 may be formed in various shapes or shapes depending on the structure or pattern of the peripheral portion 323, that is, the center 322 may be formed to pass through a portion of the peripheral 323 that is offset to one side.

The peripheral portion 323 functions as a conductor or a substrate by the supporting function and the pattern portion including the physical structure around the space 322. The peripheral portion 323 extends in correspondence with each side of the first and third blocks 310 and 330 The 11-shaped peripheral portion 323 shown in FIG. 6 basically includes the supporter 324 and the opening 325.

The opening 325 is a space or space for opening / closing the open / close part of the first and third blocks 310 and 330. The supporter 324 is a physical structure that supports and acts as a conductor between the first and third blocks 310 and 330, Area.

At this time, the control module may be included in the perimeter portion 323, specifically, the supporter 324, which may be formed as two symmetrical structures, and the control module 230 may be attached to either or both of them, .

That is, the first supporter 324a includes a so-called first control module for processing sensed information of the touch sensor 211b of the first block 310, and the second supporter 324b includes a sub- It is possible to include a sensor, for example a so-called second control module, which processes the sensing information of the current sensing sensor 212. Alternatively, the control module 230 may be configured on the first supporter 324a and the memory for storing the reference sensing information may be provided on the second supporter 324b. That is, the device included in the second block 320 is not limited to the control module 230 but may include a memory or other device.

The opening 325 not only plays the role of injecting the mold liquid, which is a raw material of the buffer material, which functions to ensure the structural stability of the controller 200, more smoothly along the side portion of the through hole 150, And serves as an extension space electrically connected to the pattern or power supply unit connected in the first to third blocks 310, 320,

That is, a passage through which the cushioning material can enter through the opening portion 325, which is the open space between the supporters 324, can be secured to both the left and right sides of the second block 320.

The peripheral portion 323 including the supporter 324 and the opening portion 325 can be modified into various structures depending on the number and position of the supporter 324.

For example, the perimeter portion 323 may be formed as a 'C' shape as well as an '11' shape, and may be formed as a 'C' shape without an opening portion 325 as described later.

The third block 330 of the present invention is a structure or substrate exposed to the outside of the front stand 110. The alarm module 220 includes the above-described LED 221, It is possible to include a proximity sensor 215.

The filling hole 332 penetrating the third block 330 and connecting a hollow passage to the space 322 of the second block 320 may be formed by inserting a mold type cushioning material into the upper and lower sides of the controller 200 As well. In other words, since the opening portion 325 of the second block 320 is concentrated on forming the side surface cushioning material of the controller, the cushioning material can be smoothly formed in the upper and lower portions in a standing- And the filling hole 332 is formed to penetrate through the filling hole 332 to perform the function.

The filling hole 332 may be formed in various shapes on one side of the central portion or on one side of the peripheral portion, which is a position spaced apart from the LED 221 of the third block 330 by a predetermined distance.

Although it is not shown in the drawing, it is also possible to form a conductive hole in each of the blocks 310, 320 and 330, conduct conductive treatment on the inner wall, or conduct another patterned conductive wire so as to electrically connect the conductive hole .

The adhesive layer is selectively formed between the first and second blocks 310 and 320 or between the second and third blocks 320 and 330. This adhesive layer has a step difference which can be generated in each of the blocks 310, And may be formed along the entire circumference of each block 310, 320, or 330, or may be formed only at a peripheral portion (for example, a corner portion).

The adhesive layer may be a physical layer composed of an adhesive, but may be a compression layer formed by pressing the first and second blocks 310 and 320 or the second and third blocks 320 and 330 by a hot press method, And ink of the other blocks, so that the electrical connection relation with other blocks can be guaranteed.

The buffer material may be formed by curing a buffer solution, for example, a liquid type mold liquid injected through the side of the second board 320, that is, the side of the opening 325 or the filling hole 332 of the third board 330 Alternatively, it may be formed by inserting silicon of an elastic material into the space, and may have a certain elasticity or an insulating material to ensure electrical stability between the electrodes formed in the blocks 310, 320 and 330, and physically form an internal supporting structure, 3 blocks 310, 320, and 330. In addition,

4, the controller 200 according to FIG. 4 includes a substrate having a sensor such as a touch sensor 211b and a sub sensor 216, a substrate for a control function, and a substrate having an alarm function, Structure, which can be manufactured without occupying a large area, thereby ensuring a slim and stable structure, and providing characteristics that can facilitate maintenance, repair, and manufacture.

7 is an exploded perspective view showing a modified embodiment of the multi-layered coupling structure of the controller according to FIG.

The embodiment according to FIG. 7 is a structure in which the space 322 is present in the second block 320 but the supporter 324 forms the entire circumference 323 without the opening 325, As shown in Fig.

In this case, the liquid / gel type mold liquid may be injected into the laminated structure of the first to third blocks 310, 320 and 330 through the filling hole 332 of the third block 330 and cured to form a buffer material.

 The structure of the second block 320 according to FIG. 7 may be applied to a structure in which the three blocks 310, 320 and 330 described above are laminated. In this structure, the mold liquid for forming the cushioning material does not flow into the side The second block 320 plays a role of more stably supporting the first block 310 by its own structure while minimizing the help of the buffer material.

In addition, an insulation barrier 328 is formed on each of the opposing surfaces of the peripheral portion 323 of the second block 320 according to FIG. 7 so that the first and second peripheries 323, It is also possible to process the two portions electrically shielded two portions 323a and 323b. That is, the insulating barriers 328 are made of nonconductive materials or formed by covering the nonconductive materials as electrical barriers.

The insulation barrier 328 allows the peripheral portion 323 of the second block 320 to be secured by two electrically independent substrates such that the first and second control modules are separated from each other in the second block 320, Or a circuit that performs different functions such as a separate control module 230 and a separate device.
