DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a commercial refrigerator with a movable basket structure, including a box body 1, a refrigeration component 8, a movable basket 3, a mobile component, and a controller. The refrigeration component 8 is installed on one side of the bottom of the box body 1, and the mobile component is installed inside the box body corresponding to one end away from the refrigeration component. A basket 9 is placed in the box body corresponding to the refrigeration component above the refrigeration component. The two ends of the basket 9 are placed at the cabinet opening of the box body. The mobile component includes two groups, and the two groups of mobile components are relatively installed on the inner side wall of the box body, as shown in FIG. Figure 3-4 As shown, the moving assembly includes a mounting seat 6, a sprocket 7, and a chain 10. The mounting seat 6 is mounted on the inner wall of the box. The mounting seat structure is as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the sprocket 7 is installed at the four corners of the mounting seat 6, the sprocket 7 is driven by a motor, the motor is electrically connected to the controller, the chain 10 cooperates with the sprocket 7, the chain 10 is located in the mounting seat slide 11, a plurality of basket fixed armatures 4 are provided on the chain 10, the movable basket 3 is fixed by the basket fixed armature 4, the mounting seat 6 is provided with a guide rail 13, the basket fixed armature 4 slides along the guide rail 13, and the guide rail structure is as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, in order to reduce friction, a ball 12 is provided at the position where the guide rail 13 contacts the basket fixed armature 4.

[0022] Basket fixed armature structure Figure 6 As shown, the basket fixed armature includes a slider 4-3, a mounting hole 4-2 and a connecting column 4-1. The connecting column 4-1 is located on one side of the slider 4-3. The connecting column 4-1 is welded to the side of the chain 10. A mounting hole 4-2 is provided on the slider away from the connecting column 4-1. The movable basket 3 passes through the mounting hole 4-2 and is welded to the mounting hole 4-2. A groove is provided on the slider 4-3. The groove is inserted into the guide rail and can slide along the guide rail.

[0023] In this embodiment, a 3D camera 5 is provided above the mounting seat, and an alarm mechanism is provided inside the box. The 3D camera 5 and the alarm mechanism are both electrically connected to the controller. A display screen 2 is provided outside the box, and the display screen 2 is electrically connected to the controller. The rotation and speed of the motor are controlled by the controller, and the motor drives the sprocket to rotate, thereby controlling the moving speed of the movable basket. The shooting interval of the 3D camera is set according to the moving speed of the movable basket, so that each movable basket passing through the 3D camera can be photographed. After taking the photo, the photographed photo is uploaded to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to the display screen, and the photo taken by the 3D camera can be directly displayed on the display screen, or the controller processes the photo and displays the remaining amount of goods in the movable basket at this time on the display screen. When the controller determines that the remaining amount of goods in the movable basket is small and needs to be replenished, the controller sends a signal to the alarm mechanism. The alarm mechanism can be a buzzer or a flashing light device. After receiving the signal, the alarm mechanism alarms to remind the staff to replenish the stock.

[0024] In this embodiment, the movable baskets are secured by basket-securing armatures, which secure the movable baskets at either ends or only in the middle, ensuring that the movable baskets are as close together as possible without interfering with each other. Furthermore, the vertical height of the slideway is greater than or equal to the depth of one movable basket, but less than the depth of two movable baskets. To ensure the service life of the chain, in the initial state, i.e., when the movable baskets are stationary, all movable baskets are located at the upper and lower sides of the slideway. This ensures that no movable baskets are located on either side of the vertical slideway when not in operation.

[0025] The operating principle of this embodiment is as follows: after the power is turned on, the controller controls the motor to rotate, the motor drives the sprocket to rotate, the sprocket drives the chain to rotate, one end of the basket fixed armature is fixedly connected to the chain, and the other end is fixedly connected to the movable basket. The chain drives the movable basket to move along the slide through the basket fixed armature. A 3D camera is set above the mounting seat. The shooting time of the 3D camera is set by the controller. When each movable basket reaches the position of the 3D camera, the movable basket is photographed and the photo is transmitted to the controller. The controller is connected to the display screen. The controller can directly display the photo on the display screen or process the photo using a built-in program in the controller to determine the remaining amount of goods in the movable basket. When the remaining amount is small and replenishment is required, the controller sends a signal to the alarm mechanism. After receiving the signal, the alarm mechanism alarms to remind the staff to replenish the goods. Since the refrigeration component is installed on one side of the bottom of the box, a step appears in the box. A basket 9 can be placed above the refrigeration component according to the existing technology. This basket does not need to be moved and only needs to be replenished regularly.

[0026] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within the spirit and scope of protection of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
