Description

Technology area

The invention relates to the address storage and accounting of raw materials, such as food (flour, rice, pasta, vegetables, canned food, culinary products, etc.), medicines, threads, needles, etc., as well as the address storage of things and household items ...

Prior art

Address storage of food and other products is carried out mainly on an industrial scale at distribution centers on pallets - mechanical placement of products into cells with a unique address. This warehouse is managed by a system, the Warehouse Management System (WMS), which is focused primarily on the automation of a warehouse for medium and large warehouses.

This approach allows you to take into account in detail the warehouse balances for each item, as well as its shelf life. This approach is limited by the fact that the assessment is made on the basis of the data that comes to the warehouse in the form of quantity, from documents, and quality, data on expiration dates are entered on the package. That is, there is no accounting for an individual product, namely, how much weight is in the package, up to grams, and what is the actual shelf life of each package unit.

Address storage of a small amount of goods and their accounting at the current time is used in pharmacies, in cabinets where medicines are arranged by category. In these cabinets, there are no cells for storing and accounting for a specific package, and there are no sensors that would allow us to estimate the volume of each drug at a given time.

A device for transportation and targeted storage of piece objects is known, in which the storage is made in the form of a vertically installed hollow cylinder, on the inner surface of which cells are located, and the pneumatic tube is mounted on a rod that is rotatable and movable along the axis of the cylinder, and the end of the pneumatic tube is located at the inner surface of the cylinder. Each cell can be located in the storage at a certain acute angle to the horizontal plane, and the axis of the pneumatic tube can coincide with the axis of the cell. Each cell can have a threaded plug, located on the outside of the storage, with a hole for the passage of the transport gas, and the cross section of this hole is less than the cross section of the capsule (SU 381578, IPC B65G 3/10, B65G 51/04, publ. 05/22/1973) ...

The disadvantage of the known solution is its noise and the impossibility of using it in households.

A pharmacy cabinet is known from the prior art, in which unit storage is carried out by product categories, and the approach of address storage exists in large and medium-sized warehouses (Access mode: https://baupharm.ru; https://storerx.ru. Access date: 21.09 .2020).

The disadvantage of the analog is impractical, there is no precise control over changes in the contents in the cell and assessment of changes in temperature, moisture and other components.

The closest technical solution to the declared one is the InstaView ThinQ refrigerator from LG b, Family Hub 2.0, in which the system evaluates the availability of the product using video cameras and suggests additional solutions. This device has the ability to mark the product with a special sticker indicating the required expiration date. The device allows you to form a menu from those products that are in the device (Access mode: https://www.lg.com/ru/refrigerators/lg-LSR100RU#none. Access date: 09/21/2020).

The disadvantages of this solution include the fact that packaging is used, in addition, there are no solutions for products with room temperature conditions in the device. In this regard, the product is evaluated exclusively visually, there is no detailed assessment and control over the condition of the product, up to changes in weight, etc.

Until now, food in the kitchen is used in packaging, that is, the principle of storing food, especially those products that are stored in cabinets without a temperature regime, has not changed for centuries, and the claimed invention allows you to store food, evaluate in detail the stored products in a household or restaurant, as well as real expiration dates assessed by the built-in sensors. The objective of the invention: complete digitization of products, things and household items in a household, restaurant, other locations, which are the end points of consumption.

To date, the implementation of the claimed invention is relevant, as it will solve the following socio-economic issues:

1. Transformation of product brands;

2. Optimization of supply chains;

3. Significant reduction in the cost of food;

4. Improvement in the quality of consumption and, as a consequence, human life expectancy;

5. Safe consumption during epidemiological disasters;

6. Significant reduction of emissions of municipal solid waste (MSW) and food waste to zero;

7. The emergence of new commodity and raw material and monetary cycles, and, accordingly, a new economic structure;

8. Reducing the load on the city infrastructure and, as a result, on the federal one.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS OF THE INVENTION

The device for address storage and product accounting is illustrated by drawings. FIG. 1 shows a general view of the device in the open position, FIG. 2 is a general rear view of the device; FIG. 3 - a device containing an additional cabinet, FIG. 4 is a general view of the device in a closed position.

Implementation of the invention

The device for address storage and accounting of the product (Fig. 1), made in the form of a cabinet, is a set of rigid elements fastened together, which form a vertical or horizontal volumetric system, in the front part of which hollow cells 1 are placed over the entire area according to the matrix principle, which fit cartridges 2-4. The device can be predominantly square, rectangular, etc. forms.

The frame of the device is a rigid structure that can be made of steel sheet with a steel sheet thickness of 0.7-0.9 mm. The frame of the device is connected by a rigid bolt, screw, hairpin, keyway, pin and other connection element, the stamping and welding method can also be used, hot enameling with titanium silicate enamel is used. A device with a temperature regime - the surface of the cabinet is phosphated, then primed and coated twice with white enamel ML-12-01, EP-148, ML-242, ML-283 or others, impact-resistant glass, plastic, plastic with application of a special gilcoat, etc.

There are no shelves in the device, but there is a clear matrix hierarchy with a row and a place where cells 1 are located.

Cartridges 2-4 are reusable and sterilizable. Cartridges 2-4 have a different geometric shape for each type of product (mainly parallelepiped with round corners, cube with round corners, cylinder, truncated cone). Cartridges 2-4 have the ability to be coated with special materials that do not interact with the products stored in them. Cartridges 2-4 are equipped with special sensors and sensors (not shown in the drawing), which estimate the volume of the product in it, analyze the product for the presence of harmful substances, and estimate the shelf life of the product. Each cartridge 2-4 has a special electronic tag (not indicated in the drawing) at the exit from the processor (type Rfid), through which all information about the packaged product is read, and when cartridge 2-4 is placed in the device, the information system reads the incoming product information ... Information through this special electronic tag is fully entered into the information system and taken into account in it. The device interacts with cartridge 2-4 through an electronic tag and a sensor. A special electronic tag allows real-time tracking of a product, what happens to each specific unit (product / product) until it arrives at a household / restaurant. A special electronic tag replaces the required product label. This label is entered into the information system and cannot be changed, and is also protected from hacking through the use of the blockchain (distributed data registry). This principle allows you to treat the product with care, which will significantly reduce the percentage of its marriage and spoilage.

A system 5 for returning the cartridge to the compartment 1 is shown in FIG. 1. Each cartridge 2-4 is attached to the cell 1 by magnetization or suction using a vacuum hose system 6 (Fig. 2). Also, the device provides for manual fastening, if necessary, in this case, cartridges 2-4 are placed in the device before a characteristic mechanical or electronic signal. Also, in order for the cartridges 2-4 to be fixed more reliably, the device provides for their placement according to the matrix principle, which fully correspond to their size. The surface of cartridges 2-4 is made of a material that is much stronger than the material that comes into contact with cartridges 2-4 where they are attached in cell 1 to avoid excessive wear. Cartridges 2-4 must not be damaged by the device. The front of the cartridges 2-4 can be made transparent.

Cells 1 can be made of plastic and other materials coated with a special gelcoat. Inside the cells 1 there is a special element (not shown in the drawing), which allows you to get and return the cartridge 2-4 smoothly.

The device can be made with room mode or with temperature mode.

The base of the device is weighted with a battery 7 or naturally (iron plate, concrete structure). A vacuum compressor 8 is located in the lower part of the device, which allows air to be pumped out through the vacuum hose system 6, which is supplied to each cell 1. Each cell 1 is equipped with the required set of sensors and measuring elements. The device also has a compartment (not shown in the drawing) that can analyze in more detail each product for its suitability and useful content.

The device is additionally embedded with a computer device (not shown in the drawing), which allows monitoring and accounting of content, as well as for performing other functions. On the door 9 of the device (if any) there is a touchscreen multifunctional monitor 10 (Fig. 4). The door 9 is made either of metal for a temperature controlled device, or of plastic and other materials for a room regime device. The door 9 on the device is made with magnetic closures.

The thermal insulation in the temperature controlled device is designed like a refrigerator.

The dimensions and modifications of the device are subject to change. The principle itself is important - it is address storage and accounting of the product, with the ability to assess the volume and quality of the product in it in real time.

Thus, the device can be made in different shapes in accordance with the technical and ergonomic requirements of the premises, but with the preservation of the main functionality of address storage and accounting.

The electronic equipment of the device with temperature and room control includes the following elements:

- a full-fledged computer with GSM and IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi and later, Z-Wave, Bluetooth - other communication protocols;

- touchscreen multifunctional monitor;

- vacuum compressor;

- through hermetic contacts for connecting the electric motor windings with the external electrical wiring of the refrigerator through the wall of the motor-compressor casing;

Cartridges 2-4 are made of heavy-duty material with the addition of single-walled carbon nanotubes and other additives that allow the surface not enter into a chemical reaction with the product. Cartridges 2-4 are equipped with sensors that indicate the percentage of product expiration date. The device can be made in three temperature modifications: the first modification - temperature regime +25 ° С (room temperature); the second modification is minus 18 ° С and the third modification is + 2 ... + 4 ° С.

Example 2. A device for address storage and product accounting, the same as in example 1, but may include at least one additional cabinet (Fig. 3), which ultimately allows you to form a single storage and accounting system.

Example 3. Device for address storage and product accounting, the same as in example 1, but made in such a modification that allows you to hang it on the wall. The additional cabinet described in example 2 can also be made in a modification that allows it to be hung on the wall.

Example 4. The device for address storage and accounting can be additionally equipped with a food shredder 11, which is located at the bottom of the device (Fig. 1), but can be made without it, as described in example 1. The food shredder 11 has an entrance - for placing there food waste; outlet - a pipe through which the crushed products enter the sewer.

Example 5. A device for address storage and product accounting can be made with a front door 9 (Fig. 4) and without a front door.

Example 6. A device for address storage and product accounting is made in such a way that information about the contents of cartridges 2-4 can be projected onto the door 9 of the device.

The way of storing and accounting for the product is carried out as follows.

The product is placed in the device according to the matrix principle or the honeycomb principle, which are placed in any arbitrary cell 1, suitable for the size of the cartridge 2-4. After cartridge 2-4 is placed in cell 1, air is pumped out of cartridge 2-4 (if necessary, as well as for a device with a temperature regime), so that the product can retain its properties for as long as possible without accompanying processes: growth fungi, growth of larvae and insects.

Simultaneously with pumping out air, the device evaluates the parameters of the stored product, before and after extraction, the volume of the consumed product and the remaining weight are taken into account.

The device simultaneously measures the product according to all standard parameters: moisture, temperature, content of harmful substances, as well as other measurements.

The device is capable of storing bulk, solid, liquid, frozen, refrigerated foods, as well as medicines, threads, needles, other household items, etc.

Access to cartridges or the contents of the cabinet is carried out through electronic access (the application in the phone is synchronized with the information system of the device).

The device works through the implementation of the Internet of Things, that is, products are monitored in all parameters in a fully automatic mode. Information about the availability of the product is displayed in the application and on the touchscreen multifunction monitor 10 located on the device, which is installed on the phone via linked accounts (Android, iPhone).

Storage of products is carried out in cartridges 2-4, which are located in the cabinet according to the matrix principle.

Removing cartridges 2-4 from the product can be done automatically or manually.

EFFECT: storage and analysis of products with different temperature and storage conditions, including humidity.

Equipping cartridges 2-4 with sensors allows real-time tracking when it will be necessary to cook a dish from this product, since the information system offers to use for cooking exactly those ingredients whose expiration date. Thus, the invention makes it possible to reduce the volume of products that have to be thrown away due to spoilage.

Empty cartridges 2-4 are removed from the device and delivered for processing (removal of remaining products and bacteria) and subsequent filling.

In comparison with the known solution, the claimed solution allows providing people with environmentally friendly and healthy food products, as well as providing medicines. Lack of packaging reduces the volume of solid waste emissions. The invention also relates to lean manufacturing, since the storage of the product in the claimed solution does not require soft plastic, foam, paper, glass and other materials. The main location of the device can be households or a collection of households, restaurants.

The specific examples of implementation (implementation) given in the present description do not limit the scope of protection in any way according to the claims of the claimed invention.
