[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.

[0023] The embodiments of the present application disclose a storage cabinet system and a storage method that are compatible with cells of multiple sizes and have weight recognition.

[0024] Example 1 Reference Figure 1 The storage cabinet system with multi-size cell compatibility and weight identification includes a cabinet body, a material size collection module 1, a material storage module 2 and a material sealing module 3.

[0025] Among them, the material size collection module 1 includes an RFID receiver and an RFID tag bound to the material to be stored. The RFID tag is used to mark the size of the material to be stored and output the marking information. The RFID receiver detects the marking information signal and outputs the corresponding item size information signal.

[0026] In actual use, the user first obtains the RFID tag of the material to be stored. This can be done by taking a photo with a mobile terminal, and then identifies and matches the RFID tag with the RFID receiver. The RFID receiver reads the tag information on the RFID tag, which includes the product information and size information of the material to be stored.

[0027] The material storage module 2 includes a receiving unit 21 and a control drive unit 22. In the embodiment of the present application, the receiving unit 21 adopts a receiving plate, and a plurality of receiving plates are provided to divide the space in the cabinet into several storage areas. The control drive unit 22 adopts a servo motor and a controller, and the controller can be an industrial control PLC or a computer. A rack is provided in the cabinet, and the length direction of the rack is parallel to the height direction of the cabinet. A mounting block is slidably provided on the rack, and the receiving plate can be detachably fixed on the mounting block.

[0028] The controller is connected to the RFID receiver signal, and the controller is connected to the servo motor control. The controller receives the item size information signal to control the rotation angle of the servo motor output shaft. In actual use, the controller receives the item size information signal of the material to be stored and controls the rotation angle of the servo motor output shaft. After the servo motor output shaft rotates, the gear set at the end of the servo motor output shaft is engaged with the rack, and the servo motor housing is fixed on the docking plate, so that the servo motor output shaft rotates to drive the docking plate to rise and fall on the rack. After the docking plate is lifted and lowered, the size of the storage area is changed, and the control of the lifting height of the docking plate and the lifting accuracy are improved.

[0029] The material sealing module 3 includes a plurality of cabinet doors 31, an electronic locking unit, a storage area detection unit 32, and a cabinet door 31 linkage unit. The cabinet door 31 is used to seal the storage area, the electronic locking unit can use an electronic locking switch and is used to control the opening and closing of the cabinet door 31, and the storage area detection unit 32 is used to detect the opening size of the storage area and output an opening detection signal.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the storage area detection unit 32 includes an infrared distance measuring sensor, which is used to detect the distance between two adjacent receiving plates and output an exposure detection signal. The cabinet door 31 linkage unit includes an electromagnet and an adsorption block, which are respectively arranged between two cabinet doors 31 close to each other along the lifting direction of the receiving plate, wherein the electromagnet is attracted to the adsorption block after being energized. When the size of the storage area is adapted to the size of the materials to be stored, it is necessary to control the opening of a corresponding number of cabinet doors 31. By using the combination of the electromagnet and the adsorption block, the accuracy and convenience of the linkage of the number of cabinet doors 31 to be opened are improved.

[0031] The following example illustrates: if the size of the material to be stored is A, the overall space of the cabinet in the initial state is B, and the space inside the cabinet is divided into 5 storage areas by 5 receiving plates in the initial state, then the space of a single storage area is B / 5. When the material size detection module detects the material size, it adjusts the distance between two adjacent receiving plates so that the space of the storage area is greater than B / 5, thereby meeting the space required for material storage. After the size of the storage area is adjusted, it is necessary to control the corresponding number of cabinet doors 31 to open in linkage. The linkage here refers to the simultaneous opening of the cabinet doors 31. By opening the corresponding number of cabinet doors 31 in linkage, the materials can be quickly placed in the storage area.

[0032] In order to facilitate the user to observe the materials stored in the storage cabinet, a display unit 4 is provided on the cabinet body, and a weighing unit 5 is also provided on the receiving plate. The weighing unit 5 includes but is not limited to a weighing scale. The weighing unit 5 is used to detect the weight of the material located on the receiving plate and output a weight signal.
