Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of office furniture, and in particular relates to a filing cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Filing cabinets are cabinets used to store documents and materials. They are generally used in offices, archives, document rooms, storage rooms, or personal studies. Regardless of the environment, good confidentiality, convenient access, and small space occupation are the main requirements of users for filing cabinets.

[0003] Currently, there are various types of filing cabinets on the market. When there are many types of files to be stored, the current practice is usually to either combine multiple filing cabinets for categorized storage or divide a single filing cabinet into multiple storage areas for categorized storage. The method of combining multiple filing cabinets has the following problems: First, combining multiple filing cabinets inevitably leads to a large space occupied by each cabinet; second, for some types of files that are few in number, using a single cabinet for storage will reduce the utilization efficiency of that cabinet; third, combining multiple cabinets affects the overall aesthetics. The main problem with the method of dividing filing cabinets into areas is unclear categorization, which can easily lead to confusion. Furthermore, both of the above categorized storage methods share a common problem: inconvenient access. Specifically, when accessing files, personnel need to find the corresponding cabinet or area. If the search is not done correctly, it not only wastes time but also easily leads to files being mixed up.

[0004] Furthermore, the file storage areas of existing filing cabinets are generally distributed from top to bottom. As a result, files near the top of the filing cabinet are difficult to access, while files at the bottom are prone to moisture damage.

[0005] Based on the above analysis, this application proposes a novel electrically controlled file cabinet with good confidentiality, small footprint, convenient use, and easy access. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel electrically controlled file cabinet with good confidentiality, small footprint, convenient use, and easy access. The file cabinet is equipped with a sliding guide rail 6, a movable file storage box 5, and a drive component that drives the file storage box 5 to move on the sliding guide rail 6. According to the user's needs, the corresponding file storage box 5 can be automatically moved to the designated position, which solves the problems of space occupation and inconvenient access of existing file cabinets.

[0007] This application provides a filing cabinet comprising a cabinet body (1) with an electromechanical controller, wherein the cabinet body (1) has a working storage area (2) and at least one side of the cabinet body (1) has an outlet (3) communicating with the working storage area (2); the working storage area (2) is provided with a movable storage component, a drive component, and a positioning unit; the movable storage component includes a file storage box (5) and a sliding rail (6), wherein there are multiple file storage boxes (5), which are mounted on the sliding rail (6) and can move relative to the sliding rail (6), and the sliding rail (6) is horizontally arranged within the working storage area (2); the drive component is electrically connected to the electromechanical controller, and the drive component includes a first drive mechanism. (7) and a second drive mechanism (8), the first drive mechanism (7) is located below the sliding guide rail (6) and has a receiving mechanism (9) at its end.

The positioning unit is electrically connected to the electromechanical controller. The positioning unit can collect the position of the file storage box (5) on the sliding guide rail (6) and generate the optimal path for moving the required file storage box (5) through the electromechanical controller.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the docking seat (91) is provided with a locking mechanism (92), which includes an electromagnet (921) disposed on the docking seat (91) and an adsorption block (924) disposed on the file storage box (5).

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this application, one end of the electromagnet (921) is provided with a return spring (922). The return spring (922) is located at the opposite end of the initial position of the required file storage box (5) on the sliding guide rail (6). The elastic force of the return spring (922) is greater than the frictional force of the file storage box (5) on the sliding guide rail (6). At the same time, the elastic force of the return spring (922) is less than the attraction force of the electromagnet (921) on the adsorption block (924) after it is energized.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the second drive mechanism (8) is a telescopic push rod and / or a stepper motor. When it is a telescopic push rod, the telescopic push rod is fixed on the inner wall of the cabinet (1) and located at a position opposite to each end of the sliding guide rail (6).

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the first drive mechanism (7) is an electric telescopic push rod.

[0017] The advantages of this invention are as follows: This file cabinet is an electrically controlled cabinet, which contains multiple file storage boxes 5. Each file storage box 5 can store different types of files, realizing the function of integrating multiple file storage areas into one file cabinet. This not only saves space in the desktop and other file placement areas, but also reduces the space occupied by the file cabinet. At the same time, it increases the functionality of the file cabinet and improves the effective utilization rate of each file storage box 5. Furthermore, this file cabinet can quickly and accurately push the required file storage box 5 to the designated position according to the user's needs through the sliding guide rail 6 and the drive component, so that the user can retrieve and store the file without having to manually search for the corresponding cabinet 1 or area, making file retrieval faster, more accurate, and more convenient. It can be seen that the file cabinet in this application has a high degree of integration and automation and has high practicality. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be emphasized that the following description is merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope and application of the present invention.

[0034] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper end", "bottom", "upper", "lower", "outer side", "inner side", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or mechanism referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed or operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention; at the same time, in the description of this invention, the meaning of "at least" includes one, two or more.

[0035] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "fixed", "connected", "installed", etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, a relative rotatable connection, an integral connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] Example 1: This example provides a filing cabinet, see details below. Figure 1 The file cabinet includes a cabinet body 1 with an electromechanical controller. The cabinet body 1 is preferably square in shape, and a maintenance port 13 is preferably provided on the top of the cabinet body 1. The electromechanical controller can be located inside or outside the cabinet body 1, depending on the actual situation. This embodiment does not make further limitations. The cabinet body 1 is provided with a working storage area 2, and at least one side of the cabinet body 1 is provided with an outlet 3. In this embodiment, the outlet 3 is preferably provided on the front side of the cabinet body 1. The size of the outlet 3 is slightly larger than the size of the file storage box 5. That is, the specific size of the outlet 3 can be set according to the size of the file storage box 5. The outlet 3 connects the working storage area 2 to the outside. The working storage area 2 is provided with a mobile storage component, a drive component, and a positioning unit.

[0037] In this embodiment, the mobile storage component includes a file storage box 5 and a sliding rail 6. The sliding rail 6 is horizontally disposed within the working storage area 2. Preferably, the sliding rail 6 has a U-shaped structure, and this U-shaped sliding rail 6 only includes a main track that is connected end to end. See [link to documentation]. Figure 2 Of course, it may also include a branch track that connects two opposing tracks, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 The above are two preferred structures of the sliding guide rail 6 in this embodiment. Structures with the same or similar functions under the guidance of this embodiment are all within the protection scope of this embodiment. The preferred sliding guide rail 6 with a U-shaped structure in this embodiment only includes a main track connected end-to-end, and each main track is provided with a sliding groove 61; the file storage box 5 includes multiple boxes, which are arranged equidistantly, see [reference]. Figure 4 This embodiment preferably includes five to seven files, the specific number depending on the size of the sliding guide rail 6. These multiple file storage boxes 5 are mounted on the sliding guide rail 6 and can move relative to it. Simultaneously, the multiple file storage boxes 5 are numbered in the electromechanical controller according to their arrangement order or the type of files stored. In this embodiment, to improve the stability of the file storage boxes 5 running on the sliding guide rail 6, the width of the sliding guide rail 6 is preferably half the width or length of the file storage boxes 5, specifically determined by the orientation of the file storage boxes 5 on the sliding guide rail 6. In this embodiment, the specific connection structure between the file storage boxes 5 and the sliding guide rail 6 is as follows: a sliding groove 61 is provided on the upper surface of the sliding guide rail 6; a support frame 51 and a moving mechanism are provided at the bottom of the file storage boxes 5; the moving mechanism is located at the end of the support frame 51 and is movably embedded in the sliding groove 61; the moving mechanism is at least one of a sliding block 52, a traveling wheel, or a roller; in this embodiment, the moving mechanism is preferably a sliding block 52. Figure 6 As shown.

[0038] In this embodiment, the drive assembly is electrically connected to the electromechanical controller, and the drive assembly includes a first drive mechanism 7 and a second drive mechanism 8. The first drive mechanism 7 is located directly below the track on the sliding guide rail 6 opposite to the outlet 3, and a receiving mechanism 9 is provided at the end of the first drive mechanism 7. (See Figure 8) Figure 5 The receiving mechanism 9 includes a docking seat 91 that mates with the sliding guide rail 6, and extends to the outside of the cabinet 1 through the outlet 3 under the drive of the first driving mechanism 7. In this embodiment, the docking seat 91 is preferably a groove-shaped structure corresponding to the sliding groove 61 structure on each main rail. In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 7 is preferably an existing electric telescopic push rod. The second driving mechanism 8 includes multiple mechanisms, which can drive the file storage box 5 to move on the sliding guide rail 6 and move the required file storage box 5 to the initial position. In this embodiment, the initial position can be the one where the receiving mechanism 9 connects with the sliding guide rail 6. The initial position can be a certain position on the sliding guide rail 6 opposite to the receiving mechanism 9, or a certain position on the receiving mechanism 9. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the initial position is the outlet end of the sliding guide rail 6 opposite to the receiving mechanism 9. At the same time, it is preferred that the required file storage box 5 can be pushed onto the docking seat 91 by the second driving mechanism 8. In this embodiment, the second driving mechanism 8 is a telescopic push rod or a stepper motor. When it is a telescopic push rod, the telescopic push rod is fixed on the inner wall of the cabinet 1 and located at a position opposite to each end of the sliding guide rail 6 (this end is the junction of two adjacent rails on the sliding guide rail 6). See [reference needed]. Figure 2 or Figure 3 When in use, the file storage box 5 is moved on the sliding guide rail 6 by a telescopic push rod; when it is a stepper motor, the bottom of the file storage box 5 is provided with a traveling wheel, and at least one stepper motor is mounted on the traveling wheel. When in use, the forward and reverse rotation of the stepper motor drives the traveling wheel to rotate, thereby driving the file storage box 5 to move on the sliding guide rail 6. In this embodiment, the second drive mechanism 8 is preferably a telescopic push rod.

[0039] In this embodiment, the positioning unit is electrically connected to the electromechanical controller. The positioning unit can acquire the position of the file storage box 5 on the sliding guide rail 6 and generate the optimal path for moving the required file storage box 5 through the electromechanical controller. This optimal path is the shortest distance for the required file storage box 5 to be moved to its initial position. In this embodiment, the positioning unit is preferably a through-beam photoelectric sensor. The receiving end 11 of the through-beam photoelectric sensor is disposed on the top wall of the working storage area 2, and the transmitting end 10 is disposed on the upper end of one of the multiple file storage boxes 5, defining that file storage box 5 as the starting file storage box 5. Figure 5 As shown, since the order of each file storage box 5 on the sliding guide rail 6 is fixed, the positions of the other file storage boxes 5 can also be determined after the position of the starting file storage box 5 is determined. Of course, in order to improve the accuracy of positioning, a transmitter 10 can also be set at the top of each file storage box 5.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the file storage box 5 is moved, it is preferable that there is a correspondence between the specific extension stroke of each second drive mechanism 8 and the pushing path of the file storage box 5. This correspondence can be obtained through multiple tests and written into the motor controller. In this embodiment, since the above correspondence is affected by parameters such as the size of the sliding guide rail 6 and the size of the file storage box 5, it needs to be determined according to the actual situation. This embodiment does not make detailed limitations.

[0041] In this embodiment, the docking seat 91 is provided with a locking mechanism 92, such as... Figure 6 As shown in Figure 7, the locking mechanism 92 can be used to limit and lock the file storage box 5 that enters the docking seat 91, thereby increasing the stability between the receiving mechanism 9 and the file storage box 5 and improving the safety of the file storage box 5 during retrieval and storage operations.

[0042] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 92 includes an electromagnet 921 disposed on the docking seat 91 and an adsorption block 924 disposed on the file storage box 5 (the adsorption block 924 is a common metal product that can be attracted by a magnet or an electromagnet 921 when powered on). In this embodiment, the adsorption block 924 is preferably disposed on the side of the sliding block 52 located in the sliding groove 61, such as... Figure 6 Or as shown in Figure 7; the electromagnet 921 is connected to the electromechanical controller. After the electromagnet 921 is energized, it can attract the adsorption block 924, thereby fixing and limiting the file storage box 5; after the electromagnet 921 is de-energized, if the second driving mechanism 8 is a stepper motor, driving the stepper motor to reverse will cause the required file storage box 5 to leave the docking seat 91 and return to the initial position; if the second driving mechanism 8 is a telescopic push rod, in this embodiment, a return spring 922 is preferably provided at one end of the electromagnet 921. The deformation restoring force of the return spring 922 is used to reset the required file storage box 5. In this embodiment, the return spring 922 is used to reset the file storage box 5. The reset spring 922 is located at the opposite end of the desired initial position of the file storage box 5 on the sliding guide rail 6. The elastic force of the reset spring 922 is greater than the frictional force of the file storage box 5 on the sliding guide rail 6. At the same time, the elastic force of the reset spring 922 is less than the attraction force of the electromagnet 921 on the adsorption block 924 after it is energized. In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the initial distance between the electromagnet 921 and the adsorption block 924 is too far to cause insufficient adsorption force, it is preferable to provide an adsorption iron 923 at the end of the reset spring 922. The adsorption iron 923 serves as an intermediate adsorption element. After the electromagnet 921 is energized, it can be magnetized and then adsorbed with the adsorption block 924.

[0043] The operating principle of this embodiment includes: The user inputs a request command to the electromechanical controller via an external device to obtain the required file storage box 5. After receiving the user's request command, the electromechanical controller first determines the position of the required file storage box 5 on the sliding guide rail 6 through the positioning unit, then generates an optimal path, and activates the second drive mechanism 8 to push each file storage box 5 along the optimal path on the sliding guide rail 6 until the required file storage box 5 is pushed to its initial position. The second drive mechanism 8 then pushes the required file storage box 5 onto the docking seat 91 of the receiving mechanism 9. Of course, if necessary, the attraction force between the electromagnet 921 on the receiving mechanism 9 and the adsorption block 924 on the file storage box 5 can also be used to retrieve the required file storage box. Storage box 5 is pulled onto docking seat 91 by overcoming the deformation force of return spring 922. Then, the first drive mechanism 7 is activated to extend and move the receiving mechanism 9 and the required document storage box 5 on it to the outside of cabinet 1 through the outlet 3. At this time, the user performs storage and retrieval operations. After completing the storage and retrieval, the user inputs a return command to the electromechanical controller through an external device. After receiving the user's return command, the electromechanical controller activates the first drive mechanism 7 again to retract and drive the receiving mechanism 9 and the required document storage box 5 on it back into cabinet 1. At the same time, electromagnet 921 is de-energized. At this time, the required document storage box 5 is reset to its initial position under the action of the deformation restoring force of return spring 922. If other document storage boxes 5 are needed, the above process is repeated.

[0044] The following is a detailed description of how the second drive mechanism 8 pushes each file storage box 5 along the optimal path on the sliding guide rail 6 until the required file storage box 5 is pushed to the initial position. The directional terms "left," "right," "front," and "back" correspond to the accompanying drawings in this embodiment and should not be construed as further limitations on this implementation.

[0045] In this preferred embodiment, the file storage boxes 5 are provided with five boxes, numbered one to five counterclockwise. Simultaneously, the second drive mechanism 8 comprises four components: a first telescopic push rod 81 located on the left side of the front wall of the working storage area 2; a second telescopic push rod 82 located on the rear side of the left end wall of the working storage area 2; a third telescopic push rod 83 located on the right side of the rear end wall of the working storage area 2; and a fourth telescopic push rod 84 located on the front side of the right end wall of the working storage area 2. (See also...) Figure 8 ;

[0046] When the user requires file storage box 5, based on the arrangement of all file storage boxes 5, the optimal path is for each file storage box 5 to rotate counterclockwise along the sliding guide rail 6. At this time, the electromechanical controller first activates the third telescopic push rod 83, pushing file storage boxes 5 (number 4 and number 5) forward to the frontmost position. (See below for further details.) Figure 9 Then, after activating the second telescopic push rod 82, which pushes the third file storage box 5 to the far right, see [link / details]. Figure 10 Then, after activating the first telescopic push rod 81, pushing document storage box 5 (number one) and document storage box 5 (number two) downwards to the bottom, see [link / details]. Figure 11 Finally, activate the fourth telescopic push rod 84 to move the fifth document storage box 5 to the far left until it is on the docking seat 91. (See below) Figure 12 Simultaneously, electromagnet 921 is energized, and the attraction force between the energized electromagnet 921 and the adsorption block 924 limits and fixes the fifth document storage box 5. At this time, the electromechanical controller starts the first drive mechanism 7, that is, the electric push rod, which pushes the receiving mechanism 9 to move to the left. The receiving mechanism 9 drives the required document storage box 5 to move to the left and enter the external space through the box outlet 3. After the document storage box 5 moves to the appropriate position, the document storage box is opened and the required documents are taken out. After use, the document storage box is closed, and the electric push rod is started again to reset. The electric push rod drives the receiving mechanism 9 and the used document storage box 5 to reset to the right until the reset is completed. At this time, the electromagnet 921 is de-energized, and the used document storage box 5 returns to the initial position under the action of the deformation restoring force of the reset spring 922. The above process is repeated to retrieve other document storage boxes 5.

[0047] In summary, the file cabinet in this embodiment is an electrically controlled cabinet. It contains multiple file storage boxes 5, each capable of storing different types of files. This integrates multiple file storage areas into a single cabinet, saving space on desktops and other file placement areas, reducing the cabinet's footprint, increasing its functionality, and improving the utilization rate of each storage box 5. Furthermore, the cabinet can quickly and accurately move the required storage box 5 to the designated location via sliding rails 6 and a drive assembly, eliminating the need for manual searching of the corresponding cabinet 1 or area, making file retrieval faster, more accurate, and more convenient. Therefore, this file cabinet in this embodiment exhibits a high degree of integration and automation, making it highly practical.

[0048] Example 2: Compared with Example 1, the difference in this example is that, in order to improve the sealing performance and appearance integrity of the cabinet 1, the free end (front end) of the receiving mechanism 9 is preferably provided with a cover 12. The cover 12 is connected to the receiving mechanism 9 through a connecting rod 121 and can be closed at the outlet 3, and moves synchronously with the receiving mechanism 9. Specifically, when the first driving mechanism 7, i.e., the electric telescopic push rod, drives the receiving mechanism 9 and the required file storage box 5 located on it to move to the outside of the cabinet 1, since the cover 12 is fixed to the free end of the receiving mechanism 9, the cover 12 will move synchronously with the receiving mechanism 9 and open the outlet 3. When the first driving mechanism 7 drives the receiving mechanism 9 and the processed file storage box 5 located on it to reset, the cover 12 will move towards the outlet 3 with the receiving mechanism 9. When the receiving mechanism 9 completes the reset, the cover 12 can be closed at the outlet 3 to achieve a seal on the outlet 3.

[0049] Example 3: Compared with Example 1 or 2, the difference in this example is that, in order to improve the security and confidentiality of the filing cabinet, the electromechanical controller preferably includes a control panel 4 located outside the cabinet body 1. This control panel 4 is equipped with a password input interface, which includes at least one of a fingerprint input interface, an iris input interface, a keypad password input interface, or a voice input interface. In this example, the password input interface preferably includes both a fingerprint input interface and an iris input interface. When using the cabinet, the user only needs to match at least one of the fingerprint and iris scans to complete the unlocking function. Using this password input interface not only improves the confidentiality of the filing cabinet but also eliminates the need to carry a key at all times, thus improving the convenience of using the filing cabinet.

[0050] Example 4: Compared with Examples 1, 2, or 3, the difference in this example is that the cabinet 1 has outlet 3 on opposite sides that communicate with the working storage area 2. The working storage area 2 has two first drive mechanisms 7, each with a receiving mechanism 9 at its end. These two drive mechanisms are respectively located at opposite ends of the two sets of outlet 3. (See [reference]). Figure 13 In this embodiment, it is preferable to pre-define the number of each outlet 3 in the electromechanical controller. For example, the outlet 3 located on the front side is defined as outlet 3 No. 1, and the outlet 3 located on the rear side is defined as outlet 3 No. 2.

[0051] In practical use, the electromechanical controller can first determine the position of the required file storage box 5 on the sliding guide rail 6 using the positioning unit according to the user's input request command. Then, it generates the optimal path and determines which outlet 3 the required file storage box 5 will be pushed to based on the optimal path. After determination, it can be displayed to the user through voice broadcast or display. Then, the second drive mechanism 8 and the first drive mechanism 7 are activated sequentially to push the required file storage box 5 to the outside of the cabinet 1 through the corresponding outlet 3. In this embodiment, the process of activating the second drive mechanism 8 and the first drive mechanism 7 sequentially to push the required file storage box 5 to the outside of the cabinet 1 through the corresponding outlet 3 is the same as in embodiment 1, and will not be repeated in this embodiment. Using the structure in this embodiment, the required file storage box 5 can be pushed to the nearest location. This improves the efficiency of pushing the required file storage boxes 5. At the same time, compared with setting only one outlet 3, it can also push multiple file storage boxes 5 at the same time, improving the efficiency of file storage and retrieval. For example, when user A needs file storage box 5 number one and user B needs file storage box 5 number three, the electromechanical controller will generate two sets of preferred paths according to the request instructions input by the two users, and allocate the required file storage boxes 5 number one and number three to the corresponding outlet 3 according to the preferred paths. Then, the second drive mechanism 8 and the first drive mechanism 7 can be started sequentially or simultaneously (if the two sets of preferred paths have an intersection, they will be started sequentially; if the two sets of preferred paths do not have an intersection, they will be started simultaneously) to push the required file storage boxes 5 to the outside of the cabinet 1 through the corresponding outlet 3.

[0052] It is evident that the cabinet in this embodiment can not only quickly and accurately obtain the required file storage box, but also has high access efficiency and good file confidentiality.
