A Bluetooth reader / writer, the Bluetooth reader / writer is used to connect to the terminal via Bluetooth, and the Bluetooth reader / writer is used to write the user's personal information into the user's laundry card and clothing retrieval card; A storage / retrieval wardrobe, wherein the storage / retrieval wardrobe has a panel machine, wherein the panel machine has an operation interface and a card swiping area; the storage / retrieval wardrobe is used for storing and retrieving clothing; A pricing system, the pricing system comprising a pricing machine and a high-frequency reader / writer connected to the pricing machine, the high-frequency reader / writer being used to read a laundry card on a laundry bag so that the pricing machine can obtain the user's personal information; The sorting system includes a sorting machine and a high-frequency reader connected to the sorting machine. The sorting system is used to achieve: after the clothes are washed, the sorting system is turned on, and the RFID tag on the clothes is placed on the high-frequency reader of the sorting system. The screen of the sorting system will assign a grid number to the current clothes. The staff puts the clothes on the corresponding grid and continues to sort. Different users correspond to different grid numbers. When the displayed grid number turns red, it means that the clothes of the user with this grid number have been sorted and can be bagged and shipped out of the warehouse; when shipping out of the warehouse, switch to the shipping interface, click on the grid number that has been sorted on the screen, and the screen displays the hook number of the current grid, that is, the laundry bag of the user. The administrator takes back the laundry bag placed during the previous price marking according to the hook number, and takes back all the clothes on the grid at the same time, and then swipes the RFID tag on the clothes on the high-frequency reader in turn to ship out of the warehouse. When shipping out of the warehouse, the screen will display the number of the collection basket corresponding to the current clothes. After the shipping out is successful, remove the RFID Label, put the clothes into the laundry bag, and then put the laundry bag into the corresponding basket number according to the displayed basket number; To solve the efficiency problem, this smart laundry system creatively introduces RFID tags to replace the barcodes on laundry labels as the unique identification of clothes, and designs and develops corresponding software processes around RFID tags in the pricing and sorting process.
[0020] RFID tag is a contactless automatic identification technology. It uses radio frequency signals to identify target objects and obtain relevant data. The identification work does not require human intervention. As a wireless version of barcodes, RFID technology has advantages that barcodes do not have, such as waterproof, anti-magnetic, high temperature resistance, long service life, large reading distance, data encryption on the tag, larger data storage capacity, and easy change of stored information.
[0021] The outstanding technical features of RFID electronic tags are: 1. They can identify a single very specific object, unlike barcodes which can only identify a type of object; 2. They can read multiple objects at the same time, while barcodes can only be read one by one; they can store a large amount of information; 3. They use radio frequency and can read data through external materials, while barcodes must rely on lasers or infrared to read information on the surface of the material medium.
[0022] The storage / retrieval wardrobe is a system for users to store and retrieve clothes through uniquely identified media such as IC cards, membership numbers, QR codes, etc. The system has functions such as controlling the cabinet door switch, obtaining the cabinet door switch status, quickly reading IC cards, and interacting with the background system.
[0023] The pricing system is suitable for administrators to mark prices (i.e. pre-deduct fees) for laundry items after receiving them from users, and write information into RFID tags, so that RFID tags are strongly bound to user personal information and laundry information, and the hook numbers of laundry bags are pre-allocated, while the number of users corresponding to the current batch of laundry baskets is recorded.
[0024] The sorting system is suitable for administrators to obtain the user's washing information by reading the RFID tag information after receiving the cleaned items, and assign a cabinet number to each piece of clothing. The staff puts the clothes into the cabinet at the physical location according to the cabinet number displayed by the sorting system.
[0025] The outbound delivery system is suitable for users who have completed the sorting process. The administrator will deliver the clothes of users who have met the outbound delivery conditions by reading the RFID tags fixed on the clothes.
[0026] The smart laundry system invented this time creatively introduces RFID tags. Based on the advantages of RFID such as waterproof, long reading distance, larger storage data capacity, and easy modification of stored information, each laundry module has designed new processes and applications based on RFID, thus solving the problems of the current smart laundry system: slow sorting speed, high labor cost, and cross contamination between unwashed and washed items. It greatly reduces labor costs and significantly improves the overall laundry efficiency.
