Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a management method for an open tool cabinet and belongs to the technical field of tool management. Background Art

[0002] The main uses of tool cabinets involve multiple industries, among which the mechanical processing industry is its most important application field. In the mechanical processing process, tools are indispensable components. Tool cabinets provide a safe and reliable storage environment for tools, ensuring that the tools are clean, dry and tidy. With the continuous improvement of production efficiency and product quality in the manufacturing industry, the demand for tool cabinets, as an important equipment for storing and managing tools, has increased accordingly.

[0003] Traditional tool management only sets up a tool storage area, and the borrowing and returning of tools are mixed together, which is inconvenient to manage. Later, the borrowing and returning of tools were gradually distinguished, and new tool borrowing cabinets and old tool return cabinets were set up. With the advancement of technology and industrial upgrading, the market demand for high-end and intelligent tool cabinets has increased. Furthermore, modules such as smart display screens, face recognition, and automatic pickup have been introduced to form a closed intelligent tool cabinet.

[0004] When returning a knife to a closed intelligent tool cabinet, the user needs to enter login information. Based on the login information, the cabinet receives the knife return command entered by the user, and then opens the knife return cabinet aisle based on the knife return command. After the user puts the knife in, the knife cabinet uses the transmission system to store the knife in the corresponding aisle to complete the knife return. On the one hand, due to the introduction of intelligent modules and transmission modules, the closed intelligent tool cabinet is expensive and heavy, which is not conducive to multi-point layout and transportation. On the other hand, not only does it require the user to log in and wait for the transmission process, but it can only be used by one user at a time, which is inefficient. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent management method, system and computer storage medium for an open tool cabinet, which method, system and computer storage medium not only solve the problem of poor management effect of traditional open tool cabinets in the prior art, but also solve the problems of high cost, heavy weight and low utilization efficiency of closed tool cabinets, and well combine the advantages of both and eliminate the disadvantages.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an intelligent management method for an open tool cabinet, applied to the open tool cabinet, the method comprising:

[0007] When a user borrows a tool, tool borrowing information is generated; wherein, the tool borrowing information includes user characteristics and tool data; a tool return instruction is generated based on the tool borrowing information, and the tool return instruction is transferred to the open tool cabinet for storage; when the user goes to the open tool cabinet to return the tool, the user characteristics are collected and compared with the user characteristics stored in the tool return instruction, and the pre-stored tool return instruction is output based on the comparison result; the tool return instruction controls the prompt light of the corresponding tool box to light up, and the user puts in the tool to complete the tool return.

[0008] The further improved scheme in the above technical scheme is as follows:

[0009] 1. In the above scheme, based on the weight sensor connected to the prompt light, the weight change of the tool box is detected. After the prompt light is turned on, when the weight sensor detects that the changed weight is consistent with the corresponding tool, the prompt light turns green, and when the weight sensor detects that the changed weight does not match the corresponding tool, the prompt light turns red.

[0010] 2. In the above solution, user features are collected based on the camera, and the user features are user facial data.

[0011] 3. In the above scheme, the camera collects the color of the prompt light, and when the prompt light turns red, the current image is recorded and stored.

[0012] 4. In the above scheme, an electronic fence surrounding the open tool cabinet is generated based on the camera, and when a user is identified to enter the electronic fence area, the process of collecting user features is started.

[0013] 5. In the above solution, the tool return instruction includes pre-allocation information of the tool box.

[0014] 6. In the above solution, the corresponding tool box pre-allocation method is:

[0015] The tool borrowing information includes the borrowed tool data, and the tool data is (X, Y), where X represents the tool model, and Y represents that the user is the Yth user to borrow X;

[0016] When Y is 1, the tool box output by the tool return instruction is any free tool box;

[0017] When Y>1, the tool box output by the tool return instruction is the tool box when Y=1;

[0018] When the open tool cabinet is cleaned, the distribution process is reset.

[0019] 7. In the above scheme, when the characteristics of at least two users are collected at the same time, different prompt light lighting characteristics are assigned to different users based on the collection results, and the user is informed of the allocation result by voice based on the collection results and the prompt light lighting characteristics.

[0020] The present invention also provides an intelligent management system for an open tool cabinet, comprising:

[0021] The tool borrowing unit is used to record the tool borrowing information and generate the tool return instruction;

[0022] A control unit, used for comparing user characteristics with tool borrowing information and outputting tool return instructions;

[0023] The prompting unit outputs tool return prompting information based on the tool return instruction.

[0024] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the above method is implemented.

[0025] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

The intelligent management method, system and computer storage medium of the open tool cabinet of the present invention generate a tool return instruction through comprehensive information on borrowed knives, automatically confirm the user who returns the knives by comparing the user's characteristic information, thereby determining the tool box to which the knife should be returned, and then using the prompt light arranged on each tool box to issue a prompt to the user, and the user can put the knife in the box to complete the return, thus solving the problem that users use traditional open tool cabinets to place the knives at will and are difficult to manage; at the same time, the introduction of the user characteristic collection module and the prompt light module realizes the intelligent upgrade of the open tool cabinet, and also has the advantages of lightness and convenient knife return that the closed intelligent tool cabinet does not have.

[0027] 2. The intelligent management method, system and computer storage medium of the open tool cabinet of the present invention realize intelligent management of the entire process of tool return through the collaboration of the prompt light, weight sensor and camera. The prompt light is activated by the feature acquisition of the camera, and the state of the prompt light is changed by the sensing of the weight sensor. The change of the prompt light state reversely outputs the data that can be collected by the camera, completing the cyclic processing of prompting, detection and judgment, thereby improving the intelligence level of tool return management. In addition, it can also be combined with voice synchronization to prompt users to improve the user experience of returning the knife.

[0028] 3.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Embodiment 1: An intelligent management method for an open tool cabinet is applied to an open tool cabinet. Here, the open tool cabinet has a cabinet body and a plurality of tool boxes arranged in layers, and also includes a camera and a prompt light. The camera is arranged at a position that can cover the cabinet body's field of view, and the prompt light is provided on the side of each tool box facing the user or on the cabinet body corresponding to each tool box. The management method includes the following steps:

[0032] S1: When a user borrows a knife from any open / closed knife cabinet for borrowing knives, borrowing knife information is generated. Here, for the convenience of management, the borrowing knife information includes user characteristics and tool data, wherein the user characteristics are the user's biological data characteristics, or additional characteristics such as the work number and name bound to the user, and the tool data includes the tool model, tool box image and other characteristic data that can identify the tool.

[0033] S2: The borrowing information generated when borrowing a tool is collected from the borrowing server and transferred to the tool return server. That is, as long as the user borrows a tool in the current processing area, the data of each borrowing tool cabinet will be centrally processed for easy management. Based on the borrowing information, a tool return instruction is generated. The tool return instruction corresponds to the data of the borrowing information, including the characteristics of the user who is about to return the tool. Here, the user's biological data characteristics are selected, and further, the user's facial data is selected; it also includes the tool model. The borrowing instruction is transferred to each open tool cabinet (return tool) for storage so that it can be activated at any time.

[0034] S3: After using the knife, the user returns it to any open knife cabinet. The open knife cabinet is equipped with a camera, and an electronic fence is built around the open knife cabinet through the camera. Once the user enters the electronic fence, the program for collecting user features is started - the facial data of the user returning the knife is captured by the camera, and compared with the user features in the stored return instruction to confirm the person returning the knife, so as to retrieve the knife prepared by the user.

[0035] S4: After confirming the person returning the tool and preparing to return the tool through face recognition, the tool return command controls the indicator light at the location where the tool box is stored to light up. When the user sees the indicator light, he can quickly determine that this is the location where he returns the tool, put the tool in, and complete the tool return.

[0036] Embodiment 2: An intelligent management method for an open tool cabinet is applied to an open tool cabinet. Here, the open tool cabinet has a cabinet body and a plurality of tool boxes arranged in layers, and also includes a camera, a weight sensor and a prompt light. The camera is arranged at a position that can cover the cabinet body's field of view, and the prompt light is provided on the side of each tool box facing the user or on the cabinet body corresponding to each tool box. The weight sensor is installed at the bottom of the tool box to detect the weight change of the tool box. The management method includes the following steps:

[0037] S1: When a user borrows a knife from any open / closed knife cabinet for borrowing knives, borrowing knife information is generated. Here, for the convenience of management, the borrowing knife information includes user characteristics and tool data, wherein the user characteristics are the user's biological data characteristics, or additional characteristics such as the work number and name bound to the user, and the tool data includes the tool model, tool box image and other characteristic data that can identify the tool.

[0038] S2: The borrowing information generated when borrowing a tool is collected from the borrowing server and transferred to the tool return server. That is, as long as the user borrows a tool in the current processing area, the data of each borrowing tool cabinet will be centrally processed for easy management. Based on the borrowing information, a tool return instruction is generated. The tool return instruction corresponds to the data of the borrowing information, including the characteristics of the user who is about to return the tool. Here, the user's biological data characteristics are selected, and further, the user's facial data is selected; it also includes the tool model. The borrowing instruction is transferred to each open tool cabinet (return tool) for storage so that it can be activated at any time.

[0039] S3: After using the knife, the user returns it to any open knife cabinet. The open knife cabinet is equipped with a camera, and an electronic fence is built around the open knife cabinet through the camera. Once the user enters the electronic fence, the program for collecting user features is started - the facial data of the user returning the knife is captured by the camera, and compared with the user features in the stored return instruction to confirm the person returning the knife, so as to retrieve the knife prepared by the user.

[0040] S4: After confirming the person returning the tool and preparing to return the tool through face recognition, the tool return command controls the indicator light at the location where the tool box is stored to light up. When the user sees the indicator light, he can quickly determine that this is the location where he returns the tool and put the tool in.

[0041] S5: In order to prevent users from returning the wrong tool or lamps, a weight sensor is added to detect the weight of the tool box, and the weight sensor is connected to the prompt light. When the prompt light is on, the weight sensor is activated. When the user puts in the correct tool, the stored tool weight is used to determine whether the tool is the one the user should return. If it is, the prompt light turns green, otherwise it turns red.

[0042] Here, the tool will wear out after use, and the quality will change slightly. When the change range is within the value M, it is considered normal. When it exceeds the range, it is considered abnormal and the indicator light turns red. The value M can be judged by inputting tolerance parameters based on experience, or by importing machining center data to output the wear quality based on the machining process, working hours, and corresponding workpiece.

[0043] S6: In addition to collecting user features, the camera also collects the color of the indicator light after it is activated, so as to determine whether an abnormal situation occurs according to the preset program. When the indicator light turns red, the camera starts to record and store the current image and transmit it to the management backend for the convenience of staff to retrieve and confirm the situation.

[0044] Embodiment 3: An intelligent management method for an open tool cabinet is applied to an open tool cabinet. Here, the open tool cabinet has a cabinet body and a plurality of tool boxes arranged in layers, and also includes a camera, a weight sensor and a prompt light. The camera is arranged at a position that can cover the cabinet body's field of view, and the prompt light is provided on the side of each tool box facing the user or on the cabinet body corresponding to each tool box. The weight sensor is installed at the bottom of the tool box to detect the weight change of the tool box. The management method includes the following steps:

[0045] S1: When a user borrows a knife from any open / closed knife cabinet for borrowing knives, borrowing knife information is generated. Here, for the convenience of management, the borrowing knife information includes user characteristics and tool data, wherein the user characteristics are the user's biological data characteristics, or additional characteristics such as the work number and name bound to the user, and the tool data includes the tool model, tool box image and other characteristic data that can identify the tool.

[0046] S2: The borrowing information generated when borrowing a tool is collected from the borrowing server and transferred to the tool return server. That is, as long as the user borrows a tool in the current processing area, the data of each borrowing tool cabinet will be centrally processed for easy management. Based on the borrowing information, a tool return instruction is generated. The tool return instruction corresponds to the data of the borrowing information, including the characteristics of the user who is about to return the tool. Here, the user's biological data characteristics are selected, and further, the user's facial data is selected; it also includes the tool model. The borrowing instruction is transferred to each open tool cabinet (return tool) for storage so that it can be activated at any time.

[0047] S3: After using the knife, the user returns it to any open knife cabinet. The open knife cabinet is equipped with a camera, and an electronic fence is built around the open knife cabinet through the camera. Once the user enters the electronic fence, the program for collecting user features is started - the facial data of the user returning the knife is captured by the camera, and compared with the user features in the stored return instruction to confirm the person returning the knife, so as to retrieve the knife prepared by the user.

[0048] S4: After confirming the person returning the tool and preparing to return the tool through face recognition, the tool return command controls the indicator light at the location where the tool box is stored to light up. When the user sees the indicator light, he can quickly determine that this is the location where he returns the tool and put the tool in.

[0049] Here, in order to facilitate the user to return the tool, when generating the tool return instruction, the pre-allocation information of the (return tool) tool box is generated by all the collected borrowed tool data. This allocation information is generated by the following pre-allocation method:

[0050] Based on the tool information in the tool borrowing information, tool data (X, Y) is generated, wherein X is the model of the borrowed tool, and Y is the number of users who borrow X in the current period.

[0051] At this time, in the current borrowing and tool return cycle, since the first tool of model X was borrowed, a tool return list of this model tool has been generated. When borrowing subsequently, you only need to add it in sequence according to the above rules.

[0052] When Y is 1, the tool box output by the tool return instruction is any free tool box;

[0053] When Y>1, the tool box output by the tool return instruction is the tool box when Y=1.

[0054] The tool return instructions generated in sequence for tools of the same model are grouped into the same tool box, and the assigned tool box can be any tool box, which is not restricted by fixed aisles or naming and is automatically assigned as needed.

[0055] Of course, in order to further facilitate management, they can be centrally distributed in the same area to facilitate cleaning / tidying up by staff.

[0056] The current period is the time period during which the staff organizes or cleans the open tool cabinet.

[0057] S5: In order to prevent users from returning the wrong tool or lamps, a weight sensor is added to detect the weight of the tool box, and the weight sensor is connected to the prompt light. When the prompt light is on, the weight sensor is activated. When the user puts in the correct tool, the stored tool weight is used to determine whether the tool is the one the user should return. If it is, the prompt light turns green, otherwise it turns red.

[0058] Here, the tool will wear out after use, and the quality will change slightly. When the change range is within the value M, it is considered normal. When it exceeds the range, it is considered abnormal and the indicator light turns red. The value M can be judged by inputting tolerance parameters based on experience, or by importing machining center data to output the wear quality based on the machining process, working hours, and corresponding workpiece.

[0059] S6: In addition to collecting user features, the camera also collects the color of the indicator light after it is activated, so as to determine whether an abnormal situation occurs according to the preset program. When the indicator light turns red, the camera starts to record and store the current image and transmit it to the management backend for the convenience of staff to retrieve and confirm the situation.

[0060] Embodiment 4: Intelligent management method for open tool cabinet, based on embodiments 1-3, when multiple users return knives at the same time, different prompt light lighting characteristics are assigned to different users based on the collection results, for example: lighting up different colors (except red and green), lighting up different frequencies, lighting up different illuminations. At this time, in order to facilitate user distinction, users do not need to check the tool models stored in the corresponding tool box to determine their storage location. When assigning prompt light lighting characteristics, the assignment results are notified to the voice module, and the user is guided by the voice module.

[0061] In order to achieve voice guidance, user features include not only facial data but also the work number or name collected when borrowing a knife.

[0062] Example 5: An intelligent management system for an open tool cabinet based on Examples 1-4, comprising: a tool borrowing unit, used to record tool borrowing information and generate tool return instructions; a control unit, used to compare user and tool borrowing information, and output tool return instructions, and also used for; a prompt unit, which outputs tool return prompt information based on the tool return instructions.

[0063] Embodiment 6: A computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, characterized in that when the computer program is executed by a processor, the method of embodiments 1-4 is implemented.

[0064] Example 7: Based on Examples 1-6, a tool warehouse is established, in which multiple tool cabinets are integrated. The tool cabinet can be one or more of an intelligent tool cabinet, a traditional tool cabinet, or one or more of a closed tool cabinet or an open tool cabinet. As for the purpose of the tool cabinet, it can be fully integrated into a tool cabinet for returning a tool or a tool cabinet for borrowing a tool, and both a tool cabinet for returning a tool and a tool cabinet for borrowing a tool can be integrated therein.

[0065] In particular, a tool warehouse for returning a knife is set up. The tool warehouse is in the form of a closed room station, and a knife return cabinet is placed inside it. An information collection device is set at the entrance of the tool warehouse. After the biometric features and other relevant information are input automatically or by the user, the tool warehouse is opened, and the user enters the tool warehouse space to complete the knife return process.

[0066] By adopting the above scheme, the tool return instruction is generated comprehensively through the borrowed tool information, and the user who returns the tool is automatically confirmed by comparing the user feature information, so as to determine the tool box to which the tool should be returned, and then the prompt light arranged on each tool box is used to prompt the user, and the user can put the tool in the box to complete the return, which solves the problem that users use traditional open tool cabinets to place tools arbitrarily and it is difficult to manage; at the same time, the introduction of the user feature collection module and the prompt light module realizes the intelligent upgrade of the open tool cabinet, and it also has the advantages of lightness and convenient tool return that the closed intelligent tool cabinet does not have.

[0067] In addition, through the coordination of the prompt light, weight sensor and camera, intelligent management of the entire tool return process is realized. The prompt light is activated by the feature acquisition of the camera, and the state of the prompt light is changed by the sensing of the weight sensor. The change in the prompt light state reversely outputs the data that can be collected by the camera, completing the prompt, detection, and judgment cycle processing, thereby improving the intelligence of tool return management. In addition, it can also be combined with voice to synchronously prompt users to improve the user experience of returning the tool.

[0068] In addition, when borrowing knives, data coordination is carried out, and the borrowing times of each knife type are generated according to the borrowing data of different tool models, so as to assist in returning the knives. Compared with the fixed tool aisles of the closed intelligent tool cabinet, this pre-allocation method can allocate any tool box for the knife, without being restricted by the aisle, making it convenient to return the knife and easy to manage.

[0069] In addition, by displaying different prompt light states, different tool boxes can be distinguished, and the camera and voice functions can be used to guide multiple users who return the knives at the same time to complete the return of the knives, realizing a multi-person knife return scenario, ensuring the accuracy of knife returns while improving the efficiency of knife returns.

[0070] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
