Description

Device for address storage and accounting of the product

Technical field

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 to 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 the system, Warehouse Management System (WMS), which is mainly focused on warehouse automation of medium and large warehouses.

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

Address storage of a small amount of goods and its 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 specific packaging, and there are no sensors, which would allow to estimate the volume of each drug at a given time.

A device for transporting and addressing storage of piece objects is known, in which the storage is made in the form of a vertically mounted hollow cylinder, on the inner surface of which cells are located, and the pneumatic tube is installed 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 store at some 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 plug with a hole for the passage of transport gas, located on the outside of the storage, with a hole for the passage of 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. .

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

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

The disadvantage of analogue is impracticality, there is no precise control over changes in the contents of 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 presence 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. Device allows you to create a menu from those products that are in the device (Access mode: https://www.lg.eom/ru/refrigerators/lg-LSR100RU#none. Access date: 09/21/2020).

The disadvantages of this solution include the fact that packaging is used, in addition, the device does not have solutions for products with room temperature conditions. In this regard, the goods are evaluated exclusively visually, there is no detailed assessment and control over the state of the product, up to changes in weight, etc.

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

4. Improving the quality of consumption and, as a result, the life expectancy of a person;

5. Safe consumption during epidemiological disasters;

6. Significant reduction of municipal solid waste (MSW) and food waste emissions to zero levels; 7. The emergence of new commodity and commodity 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 accounting of the product is illustrated by drawings. In FIG. 1 shows a general view of the device in the open position, in Fig. 2 is a general view of the device from behind, in Fig. 3 shows a device containing an additional cabinet, in FIG. 4 is a general view of the device in the 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, in which cartridges 2-4 are placed. The device can be predominantly square, rectangular, and the like. forms.

The frame of the device is a rigid structure, which can be made of sheet steel with a steel sheet thickness of 0.7-0.9 mm. The frame of the device is connected by a rigid bolted, screw, hairpin, keyway, pin and other connection element, also the method of stamping and welding can 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. application of a special gilcoat, etc.

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

Cartridges 2-4 are reusable elements with the possibility of sterilization. Cartridges 2-4 have a different geometric shape for each type of product (mainly a cuboid with rounded corners, a cube with rounded corners, a cylinder, a 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 evaluate the volume of the product in it, analyze the product for the presence of harmful substances, and evaluate the shelf life of the product. Each cartridge 2-4 has a special electronic label (not shown on the drawing) at the output from the processor (Rfid type), through which all information about the packaged product is read and when the cartridge 2-4 is placed in the device, the information system reads the incoming information about the product . Information through this special electronic label is completely entered into the information system and taken into account in it. The device interacts with the cartridge 2-4 through an electronic tag and a sensor. A special electronic label allows you to track the product in real time, what happens to each specific unit (goods / products) until it reaches the household / restaurant. A special electronic label replaces the required label on the product. This label is entered into the information system and is not subject to change, and is also protected from hacking through the use of blockchain (distributed data registry). This principle allows you to take care of the product, which will significantly reduce the percentage of its marriage and damage.

The system 5 allowing the cartridge to be returned to the cell 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, in order for cartridges 2-4 to be fixed more securely, the device provides for their placement according to the matrix principle, which fully corresponds to their size. The surface of the cartridges 2-4 is made of a material that is much stronger than the material that is in contact with the cartridges 2-4 at the point where they are attached in the cell 1 to avoid excessive wear. Cartridges 2-4 must not be damaged by the device. The front part 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 temperature mode.

The base of the device is weighted with a battery 7 or naturally (iron plate, concrete structure). At the bottom of the device there is a vacuum compressor 8, which allows air to be pumped out through the vacuum hose system 6, which is connected to each cell 1. Each cell 1 is equipped with the necessary set of sensors and measuring elements. Also in the device there is a compartment (not shown in the drawing), which 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 you to control and account for the content, as well as to perform other functions. On the door 9 of the device (if available) is a multi-touch monitor 10 (Fig. 4). The door 9 is either made of metal for a temperature controlled device or plastic and other materials for a room controlled device. The door 9 on the device is made with magnetic closures.

Thermal insulation in a temperature controlled device is designed on the principle of a refrigerator.

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

Thus, the device can be made in various forms 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 conditions includes the following elements:

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

- touch multifunctional monitor;

- vacuum compressor;

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

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

Example 3. A device for address storage and accounting of a product, the same as in example 1, but made in such a modification that allows 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 in the lower part of the device (Fig. 1), but can be performed without it, as described in example 1. The food shredder 11 has an entrance - for the premises there food waste; outlet - a pipe through which the crushed products enter the sewer.

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

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

The method of storage and accounting of the product is carried out as follows.

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

Simultaneously with the pumping out of 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 regulatory parameters: moisture, temperature, content of harmful substances, as well as other measurements. The device is capable of storing loose, solid, liquid, frozen, refrigerated products, 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 tracked in all parameters in a fully automatic mode. Product availability information is displayed in the application and on the 10 touch multifunctional monitor located on the device 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.

Extraction of cartridges 2-4 from the device can be carried out automatically or manually.

The invention makes it possible to store and analyze products with different temperature regimes and storage conditions, including humidity.

Equipping cartridges 2-4 with sensors allows you to monitor in real time when it will be necessary to cook a dish from this product, as the information system suggests using for cooking exactly those ingredients that expire. Thus, the invention makes it possible to reduce the amount 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 packaging. Compared to 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 MSW emissions. The invention also relates to lean manufacturing, since soft plastic, foam, paper, glass and other materials are not required to store the product in the claimed solution. The main location of the device can be households or population of households, restaurants.

Specific examples of implementation (implementation), given in the present description, do not limit the scope of protection according to the claims of the claimed invention.
