[0001] This invention relates to the field of offline self-service borrowing and returning management platform technology, and in particular to a multimedia classroom microphone and IC card borrowing and returning device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most universities in China use multimedia classrooms, which are equipped with teaching-specific audio equipment, desktop computers and monitors, and projectors. To prevent the disorderly use of multimedia classrooms and to avoid the loss or theft of microphones, the microphones are placed at the manual borrowing and returning management office in the teaching building. Teachers need to go there to borrow or return them before and after class.

[0003] Because universities have a large number of classes, the process of teachers filling out their individual class information at the management office front desk during peak hours is inefficient, often resulting in long queues at the borrowing and returning desk. This wastes teachers' time, causes inconvenience, and increases the school's labor costs, as well as the time required for administrators to locate and verify unreturned microphones and IC cards. Therefore, this application proposes a multimedia classroom microphone and IC card borrowing and returning device, providing a new technical solution to address the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 A multimedia classroom microphone and IC card borrowing and returning device, comprising:

[0040] The hardware components include the microphone and IC card self-service borrowing and returning machine housing. Multiple microphone slot modules 4, IC card swallowing modules, and card dispensing modules are evenly distributed on the front of the housing. Each microphone slot module 4 is horizontally angled at 30° and is fully tenon-groove connected to the housing. In case of a malfunction in a single microphone slot module 4, the entire machine does not need to be disassembled; only the individual module needs to be removed for repair, ensuring convenient maintenance. The IC card swallowing and dispensing modules are horizontally positioned, with a cavity at the rear for holding IC cards and a built-in IC card reset mechanism.

[0041] Each microphone slot module 4 is equipped with a microphone pusher plate device inside, which is used to push the microphone out of the microphone slot module 4 and to retract the microphone; a pressure sensor 14 is installed on the microphone pusher plate device to detect whether a microphone is inserted into the microphone slot module 4.

[0042] The microphone pusher device includes a microphone slot housing 9. The front end of the microphone slot housing 9 is provided with a pick-up and drop-off window. The front end of the microphone slot housing 9 and inside the pick-up and drop-off window is provided with a movable baffle 10 for dust prevention. The lower part of the end of the microphone slot housing 9 away from the movable baffle 10 is provided with a recessed cavity, and a slot lifting structure is provided in the recessed cavity. The upper end of the microphone slot housing 9 is provided with a camera scanning module 19, which is used to confirm the serial number of the returned microphone by scanning the QR code on the microphone when the microphone is returned.

[0043] The IC card swallowing module includes an IC card swallowing rack 20, which contains a guide wheel 22, a drive wheel 24, an IC card NFC recognition module 23, and an infrared sensing module 25.

[0044] The IC card dispensing module includes an IC card dispensing rack 26, which also contains a guide wheel 22, a drive wheel 24, and an IC card NFC recognition module 23.

[0045] The IC card reset mechanism includes a reset plate 31, a reset base 30, a slide bar 28, a lead screw 29, a synchronous motor 34, and a servo motor 32.

[0046] LED indicator lights 1 are embedded on the front of the microphone and IC card self-service borrowing and returning machine and above each microphone slot module 4; a face recognition module 2, a display 3, and an NFC card swiping module 5 are respectively installed on the front of the microphone and IC card self-service borrowing and returning machine and on one side.

[0047] Among them, the face recognition module 2 is used by teachers to perform face recognition identity authentication and upload the identity ID of the renter to the system.

[0048] Display 3 is used to show the current rental status, remaining available microphones and IC cards.

[0049] Among them, the NFC card swiping module 5 is used by teachers to authenticate their identity by swiping their campus cards or swiping their mobile phones via NFC, and to upload the identity ID of the person renting the card to the system.

[0050] Specifically, the lifting structure includes a microphone slot lifting platform 15, which is located inside the microphone slot housing 9 and in the position of the recessed cavity. The four corners of the microphone slot lifting platform 15 extend to the outside of the microphone slot housing 9. A microphone slot lower cover plate 11 is provided at the bottom of the microphone slot housing 9 and in the position of the recessed cavity. A slide rod 6 and a slide rod 8 are provided on the sides of the microphone slot housing 9. The two ends of the slide rod 6 and the slide rod 8 are fixedly connected to the microphone slot housing 9 and the microphone slot lower cover plate 11, respectively. The part of the microphone slot lifting platform 15 located outside the microphone slot housing 9 is vertically slidably connected to the corresponding slide rod 6. A lead screw 7 is also provided on the outside of the microphone slot housing 9 and in the position of the recessed cavity. The lead screw 7 is rotatably connected to the microphone slot housing 9. A synchronous motor 12 is installed below the lead screw 7. The synchronous motor 12 is fixedly connected to the microphone slot lower cover plate 11 through a bracket. The output end of the synchronous motor 12 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 7 to provide lifting power. An extension block is provided on the side of the microphone slot lifting platform 15. The extension block is positioned corresponding to the lead screw 7. The end of the extension block away from the microphone slot lifting platform 15 extends to the outside of the microphone slot housing 9. The extension block is threadedly connected to the lead screw 7. Thus, when the lead screw 7 rotates, the microphone slot lifting platform 15 can be driven to move synchronously through the extension block.

[0051] Specifically, a pusher plate body 13 is also provided inside the microphone slot housing 9. The pusher plate body 13 is slidably connected along the length of the microphone slot lifting platform 15. Wheel assemblies 17 are rotatably connected at the lower end of the microphone slot lifting platform 15. The two wheel assemblies 17 are connected by a conveyor belt 18. The wheel assemblies 17 are driven by a drive motor. The bottom of the pusher plate body 13 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 18. A pressure sensor 14 is set on the side of the pusher plate body 13 facing the movable baffle 10. Position sensors 16 are set at both ends of the inner side of the microphone slot lifting platform 15 to detect the movement position of the pusher plate body 13. The microphone pusher device controls the rotation of the conveyor belt 18 by the drive motor through the wheel assemblies 17, so that the pusher plate body 13 pushes out the microphone.

[0052] As can be seen, when the microphone is retracted, the microphone slot module 4 is placed at an angle of 30°. When the microphone is placed into the microphone slot module 4, due to the influence of gravity, the microphone will slide into the microphone slot module 4 and touch the pressure sensor 14 on the push plate. The processor receives the signal from the pressure sensor 14 and performs a retraction action on the push plate body 13, so that the microphone is completely retracted into the microphone slot module 4. Then the processor sends a signal to the synchronous motor 12 to control the microphone slot lifting platform 15 to perform a downward action.

[0053] Specifically, the IC card reset mechanism consists of two sliding rods 28, a lead screw 29, a synchronous motor 34, an upper base 27, a lower base 33, a servo motor 32, a reset plate 31, and a reset base 30. The upper and lower ends of the sliding rods 28 are fixedly connected to the upper base 27 and the lower base 33, respectively; the upper and lower ends of the lead screw 29 are rotatably connected to the upper base 27 and the lower base 33, respectively; the synchronous motor 34 is located above the lead screw 29; the synchronous motor 34 is fixedly connected to the upper base 27 via a bracket. The reset base 30 is slidably connected to two slide rods 28, and the reset base 30 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 29. A synchronous motor 34 is installed above the lead screw 29 to provide lifting power. The reset plate 31 is located on one side of the reset base 30 and is rotatably connected to the reset base 30 by a pin. The servo motor 32 is fixedly connected to the reset base 30. The output shaft of the servo motor 32 is fixedly connected to the reset plate 31. The servo motor 32 controls the rotation of the reset plate 31 to realize the conversion between vertical and horizontal positions.

[0054] Example 2:

[0055] The multimedia classroom microphone and IC card borrowing and returning device provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the IC card swallowing module consists of four guide wheels 22 and one drive wheel 24. The guide wheels 22 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the IC card swallowing rack 20. The drive wheel 24 is located at the lower middle part of the IC card swallowing rack 20. An IC card NFC identification module 23 is provided inside the IC card swallowing rack 20 for identifying the IC card number. An infrared sensing module 25 is provided above the IC card swallowing rack 20 for detecting the insertion of IC cards.

[0056] The drive wheel 24 is fixed by a fixing buckle 21. The fixing buckle 21 is connected to the IC card holder 20 by a pin. The protruding end of the fixing buckle 21 presses against the shaft of the drive wheel 24 to fix it.

[0057] It can be seen that after the IC card is inserted into the IC card holder 20, the IC card is identified by the IC card NFC identification module 23. After successful identification, the IC card is moved towards the cavity at the rear of the module by the four guide wheels 22 to store the IC card.

[0058] Example 3:

[0059] The multimedia classroom microphone and IC card borrowing and returning device provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 7As shown, the IC card dispensing module consists of five guide wheels 22 and two drive wheels 24. Four guide wheels 22 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the IC card dispensing frame 26; one drive wheel 24 is located at the upper center of the IC card dispensing frame 26; the other guide wheel 22 and the other drive wheel 24 are both located at the bottom of the cavity. An IC card NFC identification module 23 is installed inside the IC card dispensing frame 26 to identify the IC card number. The drive wheel 24 is fixed by a retaining buckle 21, which is connected to the IC card dispensing frame 26 using a pin-like mechanism. One protruding end of the retaining buckle 21 abuts against the shaft of the drive wheel 24, serving a fixing function.

[0060] It can be seen that when it is necessary to send an IC card to the outside, the IC card is sent to the inside of the IC card ejector 26 by the guide wheel 22 and the drive wheel 24 at the bottom of the cavity. The IC card NFC recognition module 23 inside the IC card ejector 26 identifies and records the sent IC card. After the above steps are completed, the IC card is sent to the outside of the device by the four guide wheels 22 and the drive wheel 24 inside the IC card ejector 26.

[0061] Example 4:

[0062] The multimedia classroom microphone and IC card borrowing and returning device provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figures 1-6 As shown, it also includes a software component, which comprises a backend user login module, a network communication module, a processor, a backend database module, and a backend operating system. The backend user login module, network communication module, and backend database module are all electrically connected to the processor. Specifically, LED indicator 1, face recognition module 2, display 3, NFC card reader module 5, synchronous motor 12, pressure sensor 14, position sensor 16, wheel assembly 17, and camera scanning module 19 are all electrically connected to the processor.

[0063] Furthermore, the data stored in the backend database module includes at least the teacher's ID and microphone number. When a microphone is rented, the teacher's ID is written into the backend database to facilitate finding the microphone renter. When the microphone is returned, the teacher's ID is cleared from the microphone database.

[0064] The back-end staff login module is used by back-end staff to handle teacher rental permissions and abnormal events such as failure to rent or return normally.

[0065] The network communication module is used for information transmission between the mobile terminal and the terminal, and is used by the processor to access the background operation module through the network communication module;

[0066] The processor is used to operate the NFC card reader module 5, the microphone pusher, the display 3, and to communicate with the background operating system via the network.

[0067] The processor operates using a time-sharing multitasking scheduling method, switching tasks through microcontroller timer interrupts to achieve alternating operation between tasks, thus avoiding the use of RTOS systems that consume large amounts of CPU resources.

[0068] The backend operation module is used by teachers to determine their rental privileges, check for any outstanding microphones, select available microphones for delivery and return, bind and unbind microphone IDs from renters' identities, and send SMS return reminders. Specifically, when a microphone is rented, the backend module binds the microphone ID to the renter's identity ID. At the end of the rental period, if the microphone is not returned, it retrieves the bound identity ID using the microphone ID and sends an SMS reminder. After the renter returns the microphone, the ID is unbound.

[0069] The processor, in its main control of microphone rental and return, employs a time-sharing multitasking approach, allowing multiple teachers to return microphones simultaneously while one teacher rents them. This is achieved using STM32 timer interrupts, with fixed time slices allocated. Each task executes within its specified time, switching to the next task after the time slice expires. Due to the urgency of class time, the system prioritizes microphone rental, assigning it the highest priority with a 10ms time slice. Microphone return is the next highest priority, corresponding to the motor drive task during microphone retrieval, with a 30ms time slice. Camera scanning is the lowest priority, with a 50ms time slice. By rapidly switching between these three tasks, the system can handle all three tasks simultaneously.

[0070] The processor controls the release of microphones from the rental system, identifies the renter's identity, identifies the microphone's serial number, and performs network communication with the backend operating system.

[0071] The main control tasks of the rental device, such as processor, microphone launch, microphone number recognition, renter identification, and communication with the backend operating system, are carried out in a time-sliced, multi-tasking manner, so that multiple teachers can return microphones at the same time when they rent them.

[0072] The back-end operating system sends text messages to users who haven't returned their microphones each night during the cleanup process, reminding them to do so.

[0073] Its working principle:

[0074] After a card is swiped via NFC or a mobile phone NFC swipe, or after facial recognition via facial recognition module 2, the NFC card reader module 5 uploads the read identity ID to the backend operation module via the network communication module. The backend operation module reads the identity ID, indexes it in the teacher information database, and verifies the identity ID's permissions. If the identity ID meets the rental permission requirements, the backend operating system first indexes the microphone information database to check if the current identity ID has any outstanding rented items.

[0075] If any rented items have not been returned, the backend operating system sends a signal to monitor 3, indicating that there are currently unreturned items and that the items should be returned before renting again.

[0076] If no rented items are found to be unreturned, the backend operating system indexes the microphone information database to locate an available microphone, binds the microphone's ID to the current renter's identity ID, and sets the microphone's status to "in use." The microphone's ID is then sent to the borrowing / returning device via the network communication module.

[0077] After receiving the microphone number, the rental device processor sends a signal to the corresponding microphone slot module 4. Upon receiving the signal, the microphone slot module 4 controls the synchronous motor 12 to raise and lower the microphone. The synchronous motor 12 drives the lead screw 7 to rotate, causing the microphone slot lifting platform 15, connected to the lead screw 7, to move upwards. Once the microphone slot lifting platform 15 reaches its top, it sends a signal to the drive motor of the drive wheel assembly 17. The drive motor rotates the wheel assembly 17, and the conveyor belt 18 pushes the push plate body 13, pushing the microphone into the recessed cavity. When the push plate body 13 touches the position sensor 16, the drive motor stops rotating. The LED indicator 1 on the corresponding microphone slot module 4 illuminates.

[0078] When returning the microphone, it is placed into the microphone slot module 4. Due to gravity, the microphone automatically slides into the microphone slot module 4. The pressure sensor 14 on the push plate body 13 detects the touch and sends a signal to the processor. The processor sends a signal to the corresponding drive motor, which retracts the push plate body 13 until it touches the lower position sensor 16 and stops. Then, a signal is sent to the synchronous motor 12, which starts working and drives the microphone slot lifting platform 15 to descend.

[0079] The camera scanning module 19, located above the microphone, performs scanning, identifies the microphone number, and transmits the number to the backend operating system via network communication.
