Claims

1. A smart cabinet with a sliding locking structure, comprising: a housing having a storage space; a plurality of storage units configured to be housed in the storage space; and a locking link configured to lock to the housing and latch the storage units.

2. The smart cabinet with a sliding locking structure as described in claim 1, wherein each of the storage units comprises: a body; and a first latching portion disposed on the body and configured to latch the locking link.

3. The smart cabinet with a sliding locking structure as described in claim 2, wherein the storage units are at least partially arranged along an arrangement direction, and the locking link includes: an extension that extends at least partially along the arrangement direction; and a plurality of second latching portions disposed on the extension and arranged along the arrangement direction, the second latching portions being respectively configured to latch the first latching portion of a corresponding one of the storage units.

4. The smart cabinet with a sliding locking structure as described in claim 3, wherein the first latching part comprises: a base connected to the body; a latching plate having a limiting groove extending along the arrangement direction and configured to latch one of the corresponding second latching parts, the latching plate being located away from the body relative to the base and defining an accommodating space therein with respect to the body. The accommodating space connects to the limiting groove; and a structural plate connects the base and the buckle plate.

5. The smart cabinet with a sliding locking structure as described in claim 4, wherein the latching plate includes: a limiting segment defining the limiting groove; and two guide arms connecting the limiting segment, the guide arms being spaced apart from each other and defining an opening therein. The opening connects to the limiting groove, and the distance between the guide arms gradually increases in the direction away from the limiting section.

6. The smart cabinet with a sliding locking structure as described in claim 5, wherein each of the second latching portions includes: a latching segment connected to the extension and configured to be received in the limiting groove through the opening, the limiting segment being configured to at least partially abut against the latching segment.

7. The smart cabinet with a sliding locking structure as described in claim 6, wherein each of the second latches further comprises: an end portion connected to one end of the latch segment away from the extension portion and configured to be received within the receiving space.

8. A smart cabinet with a sliding locking structure as described in claim 5, wherein the housing includes a plurality of sidewalls defining the storage space therein. At least one of the sidewalls has a through hole and a first locking hole. The locking link further includes: a locking part connected to one end of the extension and having a second locking hole through which the extension passes, and the second locking hole is aligned with the first locking hole. The smart cabinet with the sliding locking structure further includes: a locking element configured to pass through and lock into the second locking hole and the first locking hole.

9. The smart cabinet with a sliding locking structure as described in claim 8, wherein the opening faces the locking part.

10. The smart cabinet with a paving locking structure as described in claim 3, wherein the storage units are respectively configured to enter the storage space along a placement direction intersecting the arrangement direction.
