Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to safety cabinets for storing and preserving items, and more particularly to an automatic sorting method and system for modular safety cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] A safety cabinet is a closed cabinet used to store valuable or important items with a high level of security. As people store increasingly diverse items, modular safety cabinets have emerged to facilitate categorized storage. Furthermore, with the development of information technology, modular safety cabinets have achieved intelligent control. During normal use, operating the control cabinet opens each individual cabinet, which requires pre-numbering each cabinet and sending the number to the control cabinet. Currently, many intelligent modular safety cabinets rely on users setting the electronic number of each cabinet using DIP switches or other numbering components installed on each cabinet. However, when the number of cabinets increases or decreases, the electronic numbers must be manually reset using DIP switches, making the operation complex. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an automatic sorting method and system for modular safety cabinets. When the number or position of the safety cabinets changes, each safety cabinet can be automatically reordered without manual operation, which is convenient and reliable.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: an automatic sorting method for a modular safety cabinet, comprising the following specific steps:

[0005] (1) The control cabinet wakes up the first safety cabinet adjacent to it. After the first safety cabinet is woken up, it sends a feedback signal to the control cabinet.

[0006] (2) If the control cabinet receives a feedback signal from the first safety cabinet, the control cabinet sends ID1 to the first safety cabinet and stores ID1 in the control cabinet; otherwise, the control cabinet wakes up the first safety cabinet again. If the control cabinet still does not receive a feedback signal from the first safety cabinet, it stops automatic sorting and alarms.

[0007] (3) After receiving ID1, the first safe cabinet stores it and wakes up the second safe cabinet next to it. Then the first safe cabinet enters a hibernation state.

[0008] (4) After the second safety cabinet is woken up, it sends a feedback signal to the control cabinet. If the control cabinet receives the feedback signal from the second safety cabinet, it sends ID2 to the second safety cabinet and stores ID2 in the control cabinet. Otherwise, the first safety cabinet wakes up the second safety cabinet again. If the control cabinet still does not receive the feedback signal from the second safety cabinet, it stops automatic sorting and alarms.

[0009] (5) After receiving ID2, the second safe cabinet stores it and wakes up the third safe cabinet next to it. Then the second safe cabinet enters a hibernation state.

[0010] (6) Repeat steps (4) and (5) in sequence until all safety cabinets have received ID numbers and the sorting is complete.

[0011] Furthermore, when the control cabinet is located between vertically arranged safety cabinets, the control cabinet first wakes up the safety cabinet adjacent to it above it, and so on, and then wakes up the safety cabinet adjacent to it below it, and so on.

[0012] Furthermore, when the control cabinet needs to command one or more safety cabinets to operate, the specific steps are as follows:

[0013] (1) The control cabinet wakes up the first safety cabinet adjacent to it. After the first safety cabinet is woken up, it sends a feedback signal to the control cabinet. At the same time, the first safety cabinet wakes up the second safety cabinet adjacent to it.

[0014] (2) After the second safety cabinet is awakened, it sends a feedback signal to the control cabinet. At the same time, the second safety cabinet awakens the third safety cabinet adjacent to it. This step is repeated until all safety cabinets are awakened.

[0015] (3) The control cabinet determines whether it has received feedback signals from all safety cabinets. If it has, the control cabinet sends one or more IDs and instructions to all safety cabinets. If it has not received, the corresponding safety cabinet will repeatedly wake up the safety cabinet that has stopped sending feedback signals. After waking up, step (2) is repeated. If it still has not been woken up, an alarm is triggered.

[0016] (4) Each security cabinet will compare one or more IDs received with the IDs it stores. If they are the same, it will execute the instruction; if they are different, it will enter hibernation.

[0017] An automatic sorting system for modular safety cabinets includes a main control module, a main storage module, and an alarm module installed in a control cabinet, as well as sub-control modules and sub-storage modules installed in each safety cabinet.

[0018] The main control module is used to wake up the adjacent sub-control modules, receive feedback signals sent by the sub-control modules, and send IDs to the sub-control modules.

[0019] The main storage module is used to store the IDs of all security cabinets;

[0020] When the main control module does not receive a feedback signal, the alarm module is used to issue an alarm.

[0021] The sub-control module is used to send feedback signals to the main control module and receive the ID sent by the main control module. It is also used to wake up the adjacent sub-control module.

[0022] The sub-storage module is used to store the ID of its corresponding security cabinet.

[0023] Furthermore, each security cabinet is also equipped with a judgment module, which is used to compare one or more IDs received by the sub-control module for the second time with the IDs stored in the corresponding sub-storage module.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the present invention is that when the number of individual safety cabinets in the combined safety cabinet increases or decreases, or the position arrangement of the individual safety cabinets changes, the method can automatically reorder each safety cabinet without the need for external coding setting components or manual operation, which is convenient and reliable.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] As shown in the figure, an automatic sorting system for modular safety cabinets includes a main control module, a main storage module, and an alarm module installed in a control cabinet, as well as a sub-control module, a sub-storage module, and a judgment module installed in each safety cabinet.

[0030] Based on the above-mentioned automatic sorting system, its automatic sorting method includes the following specific steps:

[0031] (1) The main control module 1 of the control cabinet wakes up the sub-control module 2 of the first safety cabinet adjacent to it. After the sub-control module 2 of the first safety cabinet is woken up, it sends a feedback signal to the main control module 1.

[0032] (2) If the main control module 1 receives a feedback signal from the sub-control module 2 of the first safety cabinet, the main control module 1 sends ID1 to the sub-control module 2 of the first safety cabinet and stores ID1 in the main storage module 3; otherwise, the main control module 1 wakes up the sub-control module 2 of the first safety cabinet again. If the main control module still does not receive a feedback signal from the sub-control module 2 of the first safety cabinet, it stops automatic sorting and alarms are triggered by the alarm module 4.

[0033] (3) After receiving ID1, the sub-control module 2 of the first safe cabinet stores it in its own sub-storage module 5 and wakes up the sub-control module 2 of the adjacent second safe cabinet. Then the sub-control module 2 of the first safe cabinet enters a hibernation state.

[0034] (4) After the sub-control module 2 of the second safe cabinet is woken up, it sends a feedback signal to the main control module 1. If the main control module 1 receives the feedback signal from the sub-control module 2 of the second safe cabinet, it sends ID2 to the sub-control module 2 of the second safe cabinet and stores ID2 in the main storage module 3. Otherwise, the sub-control module 2 of the first safe cabinet wakes up the sub-control module 2 of the second safe cabinet again. If the main control module 1 still does not receive the feedback signal from the sub-control module 2 of the second safe cabinet, it stops automatic sorting and alarms are triggered by the alarm module 4.

[0035] (5) After receiving ID2, the sub-control module 2 of the second safe cabinet stores it in its own sub-storage module 5 and wakes up the sub-control module 2 of the adjacent third safe cabinet. Then the sub-control module 2 of the second safe cabinet enters the hibernation state.

[0036] (6) Repeat steps (4) and (5) in sequence until all safety cabinets have received ID numbers and the automatic sorting is completed.

[0037] When a user needs to control one or more safety cabinets through the control cabinet (such as unlocking or locking), the specific steps of its automatic addressing control are as follows:

[0038] (1) The main control module 1 of the control cabinet wakes up the sub-control module 2 of the first safety cabinet adjacent to it. After the sub-control module 2 of the first safety cabinet is woken up, it sends a feedback signal to the main control module 1. At the same time, the sub-control module 2 of the first safety cabinet wakes up the sub-control module 2 of the second safety cabinet adjacent to it.

[0039] (2) After the sub-control module 2 of the second safety cabinet is awakened, it sends a feedback signal to the main control module 1. At the same time, the sub-control module 2 of the second safety cabinet awakens the sub-control module 2 of the adjacent third safety cabinet. This step is repeated until all the sub-control modules 2 of the safety cabinets are awakened.

[0040] (3) The main control module 1 determines whether it receives feedback signals from the sub-control modules 2 of all safety cabinets. If it receives them, the main control module 1 sends one or more IDs and instructions to the sub-control modules 2 of all safety cabinets. If it does not receive them, the corresponding sub-control module 2 of the safety cabinet will repeatedly wake up the sub-control module 2 of the safety cabinet that has stopped sending feedback signals. After waking up, step (2) is repeated. If it still does not wake up, the alarm module 4 will alarm.

[0041] (4) The judgment module 6 of each security cabinet compares one or more IDs received by the sub-control module 2 for the second time with the IDs stored in its own sub-storage module 5. If they are the same, the sub-control module 2 executes the instruction; if they are different, the sub-control module 2 enters hibernation.

[0042] The above method is suitable for automatically sorting and controlling the control cabinet when it is located at the top or bottom of a vertically arranged combination safety cabinet.

[0043] When the control cabinet is located between vertically arranged combination safety cabinets, the control cabinet first wakes up the safety cabinet adjacent to it above it, and so on, and then wakes up the safety cabinet adjacent to it below it, and so on. The same method is used to wake up the safety cabinet when the safety cabinet is unlocked or locked.

[0044] The scope of protection of this invention includes, but is not limited to, the above embodiments. The scope of protection is defined by the claims. Any substitutions, modifications, or improvements to this technology that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
