The monitoring screen can display the temperature inside the cabinet 20, the weight of the battery 70 and whether it is leaking, the operating status of the filter fan 11 and the cabinet lock status, which is convenient for on-site personnel to grasp the status inside the battery storage cabinet. At the same time, the smart door lock 23 and the filter fan 11 can be controlled through the monitoring screen. The antenna is used to connect to the 4G network and transmit data to the cloud server. The WAN interface can be used to connect to the network cable and WiFi. A temperature sensor 24 is provided on the inside of the cabinet 20. The temperature sensor 24 is a LORA wireless temperature sensor, which is installed in a magnetic suction type. The temperature sensor 24 is usually installed on the right side of the inside of the cabinet 20, and can be moved to other positions of the cabinet 20 for adsorption and fixation according to actual needs. The temperature sensor 24 performs LORA wireless communication with the gateway. The temperature can be preset through the mobile smart terminal and / or the monitoring screen. For example, when the temperature sensor 24 detects that the temperature in the cabinet bottom 20 exceeds the preset temperature of 35°, the main control module controls the filter fan 11 to automatically turn on.

[0028] The control cabinet 50 is provided with a main control module and a power supply connected to the gateway. The gateway communicates with the main control module through modbus485 to obtain information such as the switch quantity state and control address of the main control module.

[0030] Workflow:

[0031] After manually opening the cabinet door 30, the battery 70 is placed on the storage bracket 60 of the cabinet 20 and fixed. The weight detection sensor 44 measures the weight of the battery 70 in the cabinet 20 and sends it to the management personnel in real time through the gateway. When the battery storage cabinet starts to move and transport, the management personnel operates the computer Web application and / or mobile phone APP to control the closing of the smart door lock 23. The closing signal is transmitted to the gateway through the antenna or network interface. The gateway forwards the control signal to the main control module. The main control module sends a closing lock command signal to the door lock opening and closing control module, and the door lock opening and closing control module controls the smart door lock 23 to close.

[0032] Adjust the height of the adjustable height cabinet foot 43 to lower it, and move the battery storage cabinet to transport the waste batteries. During the transportation process, the temperature sensor 24 monitors the temperature in the cabinet 20 in real time and communicates with the gateway via LORA wireless communication. The weight detection sensor 44 sends the detected weight signal of the battery 70 to the gateway, and the leakage detection sensor 46 sends the detected leakage signal to the gateway. The smart door lock 23 sends the detected cabinet lock state signal to the gateway through the main control module, and the position sensor 21 sends the detected door opening state signal to the gateway through the main control module. The gateway sends the collected signals to the computer Web application and / or mobile phone APP for monitoring by the management personnel. If the temperature in the cabinet 20 is abnormal, leakage occurs, the weight is abnormal, the door lock is abnormal, or the cabinet door 30 is abnormally opened, the gateway sends a warning to the management personnel through the Web application and / or APP, and the management personnel can contact the staff or firefighters to check on the scene, and control the opening of the smart door lock 23 and send the exhaust signal to the exhaust module through the main control module, and the exhaust module controls the filter fan 11 to exhaust. On-site personnel can also understand the status inside the cabinet 20 by observing the monitoring screen in the control cabinet 50, communicate with the touch screen through modbus485, and use the monitoring screen to control the smart door lock 23 and the filter fan 11.
