Hereinafter, operation of the reel storage apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 6 to FIG.

1 and 6, in order to accommodate the reel 10 in any one of the slots 140 of the storage body 100, the operator inserts the reel 10 as shown in FIG. 2 into the loading unit 200 On the reel pedestal 210.

After the reel 10 is disposed on the reel pedestal 210 by the operator, the reel 10 is photographed by the camera 230 disposed on the pedestal 210, and as a result, 10a are generated.

The reel image 10a generated by the shooting of the camera 230 under the control of the control unit 500 is provided to the image processing unit 600 and the image processing unit 600 is provided to the reel image 10a And extracts the product information included in the bar code 8 by analyzing the bar code 8 (shown in FIG. 3).

The product information extracted by the image processing unit 600 is stored in the data storage unit 700.

When the product information on the reel 10 is stored in the data storage unit 700, the control unit 500 does not determine the storage position of the reel 10 because the thickness information for the reel 10 is not identified.

When the product information extracted by the image processing unit 600 is stored in the data storage unit 700, the rotation unit 470 of the reel transfer unit 400 is rotated by the support plate drive unit 420 of the reel clamp unit 450, The support plate 410 is aligned in the direction toward the reel 10 accommodated in the reel receiving plate 210 of the loading unit 200.

7, the support plate driving unit 420 is driven and the support plate 410 is disposed below the second plate 4 of the reel 10 accommodated in the reel support 210. As shown in FIG.

8, the reel clamping plate driving unit 440 is operated so that the reel clamping plate 430 is supported by the supporting plate 410 (see FIG. 8) So as to clamp the first plate 2 of the reel 10 disposed on the support plate 410.

At this time, the thickness of the reel 10 is sensed by the reel thickness detection sensor 445, and the thickness of the reel 10 sensed by the reel thickness detection sensor 445 is stored in the data storage unit 700.

When the product information of the reel 10 supported by the reel pedestal 210 and the thickness information of the reel 10 are stored by the reel thickness detection sensor 445 in the data storage unit 700, (10) into one of the first slot (142) and the second slot (144) of the slot (140) of the storage body (100).

The control unit 500 provides a control signal to the rotation unit 470 and the elevator unit 460 to determine the position of the reel 10 to be retracted by the control unit 500, Unit 450 to the selected slot 140.

After the reel clamping unit 450 is moved to the selected slot 140, the support plate drive unit 420 advances the support plate 410 to accommodate the reel 10 in the slot 140.

On the other hand, when the operator searches for and selects the reels 10 to retrieve the reels 10 disposed in the slots, the control unit 500 controls the elevator unit 460 and the rotation unit 470, And the reel clamping unit 450 to discharge the reels 10 to the discharge slot 310 of the unloading unit 300. The control unit 500 includes at least two reels 10, (310) so that an operator can take out a plurality of reels (10) at the same time.

As described above, the barcode attached to the reel is captured by the camera to generate the barcode image, and then the barcode image is processed to recognize the product information stored in the reel. Thus, the barcode reader can quickly recognize the product information without using the RFID tag or the like By recognizing the barcode information, it is possible to process the receipt or delivery of the reel in a shorter time, and it can be manufactured at a low cost by not using the expensive barcode reader and the RFID reader.

In addition, the operator can recognize the thickness information of the reel while storing the reel in the slot without directly inputting the thickness of the reel, and store the reel in the appropriate slot, thereby improving the work convenience of the operator.

Also, according to the demand of the operator, at least two reels stored in the plurality of slots can be unloaded to the unloader, and the operator can simultaneously release at least two reels, thereby reducing the reel dispatch time.

It should be noted that the embodiments disclosed in the drawings are merely examples of specific examples for the purpose of understanding, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other modifications based on the technical idea of the present invention are possible in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein.
