There are usually three situations:

[0030] The first type: the stored items have the required electronic tags: that is, the storage information of the items received by the identification component can be matched with the data in the item storage database of the central control component, proving that the original tag of the item is the electronic tag in the storage mechanism. Then, the central control component determines that the electronic tag required by the storage mechanism exists on the item to be stored, and there is no need to re-assign the electronic tag to the item to be stored. If the item storage information needs to be updated, the electronic tag can be directly edited through the central control component to update the item storage information.

[0032] The third type: the stored item does not have the required electronic tag: the central control component does not receive the item storage information sent by the identification component, proving that the item does not have an electronic tag, and the central control component determines that the item to be stored does not have the required electronic tag. At this time, the central control component can match the item storage information received for the item to be stored, which can be the item storage information input by the user to the central control component, to an electronic tag in the storage device, and control the electronic tag assignment component to assign the electronic tag to the corresponding item to be stored, so that when the item is subsequently taken, the identification component can identify the electronic tag on the item to obtain the item storage information;

[0033] After completing the above judgment: the central control component can control the transfer component to transfer the items to be stored to the storage position, thereby completing the storage of the items; when it is necessary to take out the items, after the central control component receives the information of the items to be taken out, the central control component controls the transfer component to transfer the items to be taken from the corresponding storage position to the switch door, thereby completing the taking out of the items, which is convenient to use; and the central control component can record the placement information of the items in each storage position in order to control the walking path of the transfer component; as mentioned above, the intelligent storage and retrieval mechanism provided by the present invention, by assigning the electronic tags in the storage device to the items, can realize the storage and retrieval of items that have no labels, cannot be identified due to damage of the original labels, or the original labels are not in the storage mechanism, thereby improving adaptability.
