You can use a folding plate with each half having the same thickness as the tool to store more tools. You can also use a folding plate with each half having the same thickness as the tool to ensure that different tools can be accurately fixed in the corresponding slots.

[0020] 4. When the locker is not opened, the sliding block is at the bottom, and the bottom end of the insert block pushes the limit block to make the limit block in a vertical state. The protrusion on the top of the limit block blocks the shell, thereby preventing the locker door from opening, and the second spring and the coil spring are both in an extended state; when the locker is opened, the solenoid valve is closed, the second spring and the coil spring rebound, and the limit block turns to a horizontal state, no longer blocking the shell and the locker door.

[0039] Furthermore, a cavity 442 is opened on the periphery of the central axis 441 of the limit block 44 , and a coil spring 443 is arranged inside the cavity 442 . One end of the coil spring 443 is fixed to the periphery of the central axis 441 , and the other end of the coil spring 443 is fixed to the inner wall of the limit block 44 .

[0040] When the locker 3 is not opened, the sliding block 46 is at the bottom, and the bottom end of the insert block 43 pushes the limit block 44, so that the limit block 44 is in a vertical state, and the protrusion on the top of the limit block 44 blocks the second shell 41, thereby preventing the door of the locker 3 from opening, and the second spring 42 and the coil spring 443 are both in an extended state; when the locker 3 is opened, the solenoid valve 47 is closed, the second spring 42 and the coil spring 443 rebound, and the limit block 44 turns to a horizontal state, no longer blocking the second shell 41 and the door of the locker 3.

[0041] Furthermore, a control panel is disposed outside the cabinet 1 , and radio frequency identification tags are fixed on the tool surfaces inside the card slot 35 .

[0042] The control system of the smart tool cabinet of this embodiment includes a login system, a management system and a usage system. The login system is used to identify staff members, the management system is used to manage the radio frequency identification tags of tools, and the usage system is used for staff members to query and access tools.

[0043] The locker 3 can store tools such as valve wrenches, thermometers, vibration meters, testers, adjustable wrenches and screwdrivers. A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is attached to each tool. The information written on the RFID tag corresponds to the tool one by one, which is used for intelligent management of the tools.

[0044] Furthermore, the login system includes an account login module, a fingerprint login module, a face recognition login module and a work card recognition login module.

[0045] After the login permission is activated, you can choose any method to log in. After completing the login, the human-computer interface will show function modules such as "borrow", "return", "in the cabinet", "out the cabinet" and "query".

[0047] The cabinet entry function module is used for the management of tools entering the cabinet. Click the cabinet entry function module, the cabinet door will open automatically, and the tool with the RFID tag will be placed in the tag identification area. After reading the information and submitting it, the cabinet entry information can be entered. Information such as tool name, entry time and entry personnel will be automatically saved.

[0048] The out-of-cabinet function module is used for tool out-of-cabinet management. When a tool no longer needs to be stored in the tool cabinet, its information needs to be deleted from the system. Click the out-of-cabinet function module, the cabinet door will open automatically, put the tool with the RFID tag in the tag identification area, read the information and submit it to complete the out-of-cabinet management. The system will automatically delete the tool information, and the tool name, out-of-cabinet time, and out-of-cabinet personnel information will be automatically saved.

[0049] Furthermore, the usage system includes a borrowing function module, a returning function module and a query function module.

[0050] The borrowing function module is used for tool lending management. When you need to use a tool in the cabinet, click the borrowing function module, the cabinet door will open automatically, take out the required tool, close the cabinet door, and the system will automatically take inventory. The tool will display the borrowing status. Click the tool name to display the name of the borrower and the borrowing time.

[0051] The return function module is used for tool return management. When the tool is used, click the return function module, the cabinet door will open automatically, put the tool in, close the cabinet door, the system will automatically take inventory, and the status of the tool will automatically change to standby. Click the tool name to display the name of the returner and the return time.

[0052] The query function module is used to query tool information. You can query the status information of all current tools. Tools stored in the cabinet are displayed as standby, and borrowed tools are displayed as borrowed. Click the tool name to query the historical information of the tool in a certain time period, including information on entering the cabinet, borrowing, and returning. You can also query by person name to query which tools a person borrowed and when, as well as the return time, within a certain time period.

[0053] Only tool cabinet managers have the authority to use the entry and exit function modules, while other personnel can only use the borrowing, returning and query function modules, which is conducive to the management of tools.

[0054] What is described above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
