[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, a multifunctional sports goods sharing automatic rental machine includes a cabinet 1, a drawer 2 and a self-locking component; a plurality of placement frames are provided on the cabinet 1, each placement frame is provided with a drawer 2; each placement frame is provided with a self-locking component;

[0029] It also includes an annular placement rack 3, a connecting pipe 4, an air needle 5, a wire box 201, a rope 202 and an electric air pump 205; an annular placement rack 3 is arranged inside each drawer 2; a wire box 201 is arranged at the top of each placement frame; two ropes 202 are rolled up in each wire box 201; a connecting pipe 4 is installed at the other end of all ropes 202; the connecting pipe 4 is made of hard material; an electric air pump 205 is arranged inside all connecting pipes 4; each connecting pipe 4 is provided with a connecting hole; each electric air pump 205 is provided with an air hole; a valve is arranged at the connection between the electric air pump 205 and the air hole; and an air needle 5 is installed on each electric air pump 205.

[0030] The self-locking component includes an electric slide rail 101; two left-right symmetrical electric slide rails 101 are arranged in each placement frame; a slider is slidably connected to each electric slide rail 101; all sliders in each placement frame are connected to the drawer 2; an electronic lock is arranged in each placement frame, and a lock tongue is arranged on each drawer 2, and the lock tongue corresponds to the electronic lock.

[0031] The electric air pump 205 has a gas pressure detection function for determining the air pressure inside the basketball.

[0032] A pressure sensor is provided on the annular placement rack 3 to detect whether the user takes the basketball away.

[0033] It also includes a pressing ring 203 and a second linear drive member 206; a pressing ring 203 is provided on the lower side of each connecting tube 4; a second linear drive member 206 is installed inside the connecting tube 4; the output end of the second linear drive member 206 is connected to the electric air pump 205; the second linear drive member 206 is an electric push rod.

[0034] A BLE tag is provided at the valve of each basketball, and a scanning device for scanning the BLE tag is provided on the lower side of each connecting pipe 4 to determine whether the basketball is a rented basketball to avoid users from replacing the basketball.

[0035] The annular placement rack 3 is connected to the drawer 2 through an electric telescopic rod; when the gas enters the basketball through the air needle 5, the annular placement rack 3 can contact the basketball, thereby preventing the basketball from moving downward when it is inflated, causing the depth of the air needle 5 inserted into the basketball to become shallower, and reducing the air tightness between the basketball valve and the air needle 5.

[0036] A temperature detector is provided inside the cabinet 1 , and the temperature inside the cabinet 1 is determined by the temperature detector. The volume of gas filled into the basketball is adjusted by the system inside the cabinet 1 .

[0037] The surface of the cabinet 1 is coated with a heat-insulating coating to prevent the temperature inside the cabinet 1 from being too high, which would affect the service life of the basketball inside the cabinet 1.

[0038] A sealing strip is provided at the contact point between the drawer 2 and the cabinet body 1 to prevent rainwater from entering the placement frame on the cabinet body 1 on rainy days.

[0039] Existing basketball rental cabinets have the following functional limitations: they cannot autonomously detect the air pressure inside the basketball, nor can they autonomously inflate the basketball.

[0040] When in use, the user scans the QR code of the basketball rental cabinet and completes the basketball rental process in the APP. After that, the rental system of the basketball rental cabinet controls one of the drawers 2 storing the basketball to automatically open, and the basketball is displayed as follows: Figure 2The state shown, and then the user takes out the basketball in drawer 2. After that, the rental system of the basketball rental cabinet detects that the basketball has been taken out, controls the drawer 2 to automatically retract, and completes the rental process. It should be noted that the automatic opening or retraction of the drawer 2 is achieved through a self-locking component. The specific steps are: after the user completes the basketball rental process through the APP, the electronic lock in the placement frame of the cabinet 1 releases the limit on the lock tongue, and then the slider connected to the electric slide rail 101 drives the drawer 2 to move along the electric slide rail 101, and the drawer 2 is opened, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 The status shown is OK.

[0041] When returning the basketball, the user returns the basketball by scanning the QR code of the basketball rental cabinet and controlling the drawer 2 to open through the APP. During this process, in order to prevent the user from replacing the rented basketball, it is necessary to determine whether the basketball returned by the user is the same basketball as the one when it was rented. At this time, the user picks up the connecting tube 4 in the drawer 2 with one hand, and holds the basketball with the other hand to insert the air needle 5 into the basketball valve, so that the lower side of the pressing ring 203 contacts the basketball. Then the user places the basketball on the annular placement rack 3 in the drawer 2; a scanning device for scanning BLE tags is provided on the lower side of the connecting tube 4, and the scanning device automatically reads the BLE tag information at the basketball valve. The system determines whether the returned basketball is the same basketball as the one when it was rented by comparing the BLE tag information. If the scanning results match, the rental system confirms that the return is successful, and drives the drawer 2 to retract through the self-locking component. Figure 1 The status shown will be displayed in the APP, and a prompt of successful return will be displayed. If the scan result does not match, the rental system will prompt the user in the APP that the returned basketball does not match the basketball when rented, and reconfirmation or contacting the staff is required. How to take out connecting tube 4: When the user returns the basketball, drawer 2 drives connecting tube 4 to move at the same time through wire box 201 and rope 202. The specific method is to scan the QR code of the basketball rental cabinet and control the drawer 2 to open through the APP. During the process of returning the basketball, before the drawer 2 is opened, the rental system in the basketball rental cabinet controls the wire box 201 to release the rope 202, and the connecting tube 4 is driven downward by the rope 202, so that the connecting tube 4 stays inside the drawer 2. When the self-locking component drives the drawer 2 to open, it can drive the connecting tube 4 to move at the same time. When the drawer 2 is in a Figure 5 In the state shown, the connecting pipe 4 is located inside the drawer 2. The user reaches into the drawer 2 to take out the connecting pipe 4. After the user takes out the connecting pipe 4.

[0042] After the rental system confirms that the return is successful, it drives the drawer 2 to retract through the self-locking component. At this time, the rental system controls the take-up box 201 to reel in the rope 202. When the drawer 2 is fully retracted, the connecting tube 4 contacts the lower side of the take-up box 201. At this time, the basketball is driven by the air needle 5 to be suspended in the air. The position of the basketball valve is adjusted to ensure that the basketball valve and the air needle 5 are in a vertical state, minimize the gap between the valve and the air needle 5, and ensure that there is no air leakage during the inflation process.

[0043] After the air needle 5 is inserted into the valve of the basketball, it is necessary to determine whether the basketball needs to be inflated, so an electric air pump 205 is provided, and the electric air pump 205 is connected to the side of the air needle 5 away from the valve of the basketball. A gas pressure detector is provided inside the electric air pump 205, and the gas pressure detector is used to detect whether the internal air pressure of the basketball is less than the official standard value of the internal gas pressure of the basketball. If it is less than the standard value, the basketball needs to be inflated. The electric air pump 205 is then started by the rental system, and the electric air pump 205 is used to fill the gas into the basketball through the air needle 5 through the electric air pump 205. After the standard air pressure is reached, the rental system controls the electric air pump 205 to be closed, and at this time the valve at the air hole of the electric air pump 205 is closed. It should be noted that after the drawer 2 is contracted, the upper side of the connecting pipe 4 contacts the lower side of the take-up box 201, and at this time the basketball is in a suspended state. To prevent the basketball from being suspended in the air for a long time, which would cause the basketball to slip off the air needle 5, resulting in a shorter length of the air needle 5 inserted into the inside of the basketball, resulting in poor sealing between the basketball valve and the air needle 5, and leakage of gas inside the basketball, the basketball valve position is adjusted by suspending the basketball in the air, and the electric telescopic rod on the lower side of the annular placement frame 3 drives the annular placement frame 3 to extend upward, so that the basketball contacts the annular placement frame 3, and the basketball is lifted by the annular placement frame 3 to prevent the basketball from slipping off the air needle 5, resulting in poor sealing between the basketball valve and the air needle 5, and direct leakage of gas inside the basketball through the valve, affecting the internal pressure detection equipment of the electric air pump 205 to detect the internal air pressure of the basketball. At the same time, the annular placement frame 3 lifts the basketball to prevent the air needle 5 from falling off the basketball valve and interrupting the inflation process. It should be noted that the official basketball air pressure is between (7psi-9psi), and this standard value is the standard range of the internal air pressure of basketballs for domestic amateur and leisure use.

[0044] When the electric air pump 205 is completed, the air needle 5 is inserted into the basketball valve, and it is necessary to pull out the air needle 5 to prevent the air needle 5 from being inserted into the basketball valve for a long time and reducing the air tightness of the basketball valve. Therefore, a pressing ring 203 and a second linear drive component 206 are provided, and then the air needle 5 is driven by the second linear drive component 206 to move upward and pull the air needle 5 out of the basketball valve to prevent the air needle 5 from staying in the basketball valve and affecting the air tightness of the basketball valve.

[0045] Furthermore, when the basketball rental cabinet is used outdoors, it is likely to be exposed to the sun, and the cabinet 1 has a relatively high temperature due to poor air circulation inside the cabinet 1. In order to prevent the high temperature from increasing the air pressure inside the basketball, further expanding it and causing surface cracks, the present invention will only inflate the basketball to the minimum standard value when inflating it; therefore, if the player prefers a harder basketball, he can scan the QR code of the basketball rental cabinet and rent a basketball through the APP. In the APP, he can select whether to inflate the basketball to increase the hardness of the basketball. If necessary, the rental system controls the second linear drive member 206 to move the air needle 5 downward, and insert the air needle 5 into the valve of the basketball. During this process, since the basketball is a sphere and the annular placement frame 3 that holds the basketball is annular, the basketball is fixed by the cooperation of the annular placement frame 3 and the pressing ring 203 to avoid the air needle 5 from being inserted into the basketball. The rotation of the basketball causes the air needle 5 to pierce other parts of the basketball, resulting in the problem of air leakage in the basketball. At the same time, when the air needle 5 is pulled out, the annular placement rack 3 and the pressing ring 203 cooperate to fix the basketball, which can prevent the basketball from rotating. If the user has no requirements for the hardness of the basketball, the inflation process can be skipped in the APP and the subsequent rental process can be performed. The rental system can then be used to control one of the drawers 2 storing the basketball to open automatically. Before the drawer 2 is opened, the rental system controls the annular placement rack 3 to move the basketball downward to keep the basketball away from the air needle 5. It should be noted that when the connecting tube 4 contacts the lower side of the wire box 201, the lower side of the pressing ring 203 is higher than the upper side of the drawer 2, which will not affect the opening of the drawer 2.

[0046] It should be noted that before taking out the basketball, the player can control the electric air pump 205 through the rental system to fill the basketball with gas, which can only make the internal air pressure of the basketball close to 9psi, and will not make the internal air pressure of the basketball greater than 9psi.

[0047] The present invention adopts a pull-out type rental cabinet, which is convenient for users to take and put basketballs.

[0048] The above-mentioned work of the present invention realizes that when the basketball rental cabinet is rented, the rental system determines whether the rented basketball needs to be inflated by detecting the internal air pressure value of the basketball through the electric air pump 205, and inflates the rented basketball in time through the electric air pump 205, thereby solving the problem that the rental system in the existing basketball rental cabinet lacks the function of detecting the air pressure of the basketball, resulting in maintenance personnel being unable to timely identify the basketball that needs to be inflated and unable to inflate the basketball in the rental cabinet in time, resulting in the user possibly renting a basketball with insufficient air pressure, thereby reducing the user experience.

[0049] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
