[0039] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. The details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other unless they conflict.

[0040] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are merely schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the illustrations only show components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape, and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity, and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complex.

[0041] The smart shelves for medical storage provided by the present invention are used for storing consumables in hospitals and other places. For example, the smart shelves can be placed in consumable warehouses, which can monitor the inventory and consumption of medical consumables in real time and realize intelligent replenishment and traceability of medical consumables.

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 18 As shown, the technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0043] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 12As shown, the smart shelf for medical storage provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet body 10, a layer plate assembly, a grating detection module 13, an operation panel 20 and a folding bracket 30; the front side of the cabinet body 10 is provided with an opening; the layer plate assembly is installed in the cabinet body 10, and the layer plate assembly includes at least a first layer plate 11 and a second layer plate 12 spaced apart from top to bottom, and the first layer plate 11 and the second layer plate 12 are respectively provided with a weighing module and a storage basket; the grating detection module 13 is installed below the first layer plate 11 and is arranged close to the front side of the cabinet body 10, and the grating detection module 13 is used to detect whether there is a person in contact with the second layer plate 12 The first shelf 11 is provided with an operation panel 20 for inputting or viewing shelf information. A folding bracket 30 is provided between the first shelf 11 and the operation panel 20. The folding bracket 30 is configured to switch between a first state in which the operation panel 20 is horizontally stored below the first shelf 11 and a second state in which the operation panel 20 is upright in front of the cabinet 10. When the folding bracket 30 switches between the first state and the second state, the movement path of the operation panel 20 can avoid the light curtain emitted by the grating detection module 13. The present invention effectively solves the problem of the traditional folding operation panel 20 interfering with the grating detection during the unfolding and storage process by designing the folding bracket 30 to enable the operation panel 20 to completely avoid the light curtain path of the grating detection module 13 when switching between the first state and the second state. This design not only retains the folding and storage function of the operation panel 20 to save space, but also avoids the situation where the grating detection module 13 is accidentally triggered during the movement of the panel, ensuring the accuracy of the detection of the interaction status between personnel and goods. At the same time, by installing the operation panel 20 on the first layer 11 and cooperating with the weighing module, the integrated intelligent operation of medical consumables inventory monitoring and shelf information management is realized, which significantly improves the reliability and efficiency of medical warehouse management.

[0044] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 13 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the folding bracket 30 includes a slide rail 31, a translation unit 32 and a flip unit 33, the slide rail 31 is fixed to the bottom surface of the first layer 11, the translation unit 32 moves in the front-to-back direction (i.e. Figure 1 The operation panel 20 is mounted on the flip unit 33, and the flip unit 33 is parallel to the width direction of the cabinet 10 (ie, Figure 1The pivot axis (in the Y direction shown) is rotatably connected to the translation unit 32, and a stopper is provided between the two to limit the relative rotation angle between the two, enabling the operation panel 20 to switch between the horizontal and upright positions. The hinge axis 36 between the flip unit 33 and the translation unit 32 is located at the end of the operation panel 20 in the horizontal position, near the rear side of the cabinet 10. This embodiment, by positioning the hinge axis 36 of the flip unit 33 at the rear end of the operation panel 20 in the horizontal position, allows the panel to first move forward along the slide rails 31 to the limit position during deployment, then flip upward and erect, ultimately bringing the upright operation panel 20 into close contact with the front edge of the cabinet 10. This rearward placement of the hinge axis 36, combined with the sliding travel of the translation unit 32, ensures that the panel completely avoids the grating detection area during deployment while maximizing its proximity to the cabinet 10 in its final position. Compared to traditional side-to-side flipping arrangements, this reduces forward space usage, optimizing space utilization while ensuring comfortable operation, making it particularly suitable for deployment in confined medical warehouse environments.

[0045] See also Figure 10 、 Figure 17 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, a locking mechanism is provided between the translation unit 32 and the slide rail 31, and the locking mechanism is configured to have a locked state in which the translation unit 32 is prevented from sliding relative to the slide rail 31 when the translation unit 32 moves from back to front until the hinge shaft 36 protrudes from the opening, and an unlocked state in which the translation unit 32 is released from the locked state. The design of the locking mechanism automatically locks when the translation unit 32 slides to the point where the hinge shaft 36 exceeds the opening of the cabinet 10, thereby achieving precise decoupling of the translation movement and the flipping movement during the panel unfolding process: when the translation is in place, the locking mechanism immediately fixes the translation unit 32, so that the subsequent flipping movement only rotates around the hinge shaft 36 without moving the slide rail 31, thereby avoiding the risk of false triggering of the grating caused by the compound movement and ensuring the stability of the panel erection process. At the same time, the unlocked state setting allows the panel to be unlocked first and then flipped and slid back simultaneously during the storage operation. This not only meets the spatial constraint requirements of grating avoidance, but also simplifies the operation steps through mechanical automatic locking, greatly improving the smoothness and intuitiveness of the panel expansion / storage process, and is particularly suitable for medical staff to quickly call up the panel in an emergency.

[0046] See also Figures 6 to 11 、 Figures 14 to 18As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, a linkage mechanism is provided between the locking mechanism and the flip unit 33. The linkage mechanism is configured to drive the locking mechanism to the unlocked state when the flip unit 33 flips the operating panel 20 from a horizontal position to an upright position and then flips the upright operating panel 20 back to a horizontal position. This embodiment couples the flipping action with the state switching action of the locking mechanism through the linkage mechanism. When the operating panel 20 flips from the upright position to the horizontal position, the linkage mechanism automatically triggers the locking mechanism to unlock, allowing the subsequent translational storage operation to proceed smoothly without additional operation. This mechanical linkage design integrates the unlocking and retraction actions that originally required separate steps into a natural, single folding operation. Not only does it eliminate pauses between operation steps, but the mechanical self-locking mechanism also prevents the mechanism from getting stuck due to forgetting to unlock the device, making the entire storage process seamless, ergonomically intuitive, and improving the efficiency and reliability of device operation in medical work environments.

[0047] See also Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 15 、 Figure 17 、 Figure 18As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the locking mechanism includes a locking pin 37 arranged parallel to the hinge shaft 36, and the locking pin 37 is slidingly connected to the translation unit 32 along its own axial direction. The end of the slide rail 31 close to the opening of the cabinet 10 is provided with a pin hole 311, and a first elastic element 371 is provided between the locking pin 37 and the translation unit 32. The first elastic element 371 is configured so that its elastic force can drive the locking pin 37 to insert into the pin hole 311. The linkage mechanism includes a slide plate 372 and a pull pin 373. The slide plate 372 is fixedly connected to the lock pin 37, and the pull pin 373 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 372. The hinge shaft 36 is a tubular structure, and the hinge shaft 36 is sleeved on the pull pin 373. A hollow portion 361 is provided on the tube wall of the hinge shaft 36, and the hollow portion 361 has a spiral side wall 3611. A guide pin 374 is radially arranged on the pull pin 373, and the guide pin 374 is located in the hollow portion 361. When the hinge shaft 36 rotates along a first rotation direction, the spiral side wall 3611 squeezes the guide pin 374 to drive the pull pin 373, the slide plate 372 and the lock pin 37 to move in a direction away from the pin hole 311. The first rotation direction is the rotation direction when the operating panel 20 flips from an upright state to a horizontal state.The translation unit 32 is provided with a fixed support 34, and the flip unit 33 is provided with a movable support 35. The fixed support 34 and the movable support 35 are respectively rotatably connected to the hinge shaft 36. The hinge shaft 36 is restricted from rotating between a first angle and a second angle relative to the fixed support 34. The first angle and the second angle are arranged in sequence along the first rotation direction. When the hinge shaft 36 rotates from the first angle to the second angle, the spiral side wall 3611 squeezes the guide pin 374. A limiting mechanism 39 is provided between the hinge shaft 36 and the fixed support 34. The limiting mechanism 39 is configured to keep the hinge shaft 36 at the first angle when the operation panel 20 is flipped from a horizontal state to an upright state. A clutch mechanism is provided between the hinge shaft 36 and the movable support 35. The clutch mechanism is configured to keep the hinge shaft 36 at the first angle when the operation panel 20 is flipped from a horizontal state to an upright state. When the state is flipped to the horizontal state, the clutch mechanism can make the hinge shaft 36 and the movable support 35 rotate synchronously to the second angle; the clutch mechanism includes a latch 351, which is parallel to the hinge shaft 36, and the latch 351 is slidably connected to the movable support 35 along its own axis direction. The hinge shaft 36 is provided with a flange 362, and the flange 362 is interference-connected with the hinge shaft 36, and the end surface of the flange 362 is in contact with the end surface of the movable support 35, and a slot 3621 is provided on the end surface of the flange 362. When the hinge shaft 36 is at the first angle and the operation panel 20 is in the upright state, the latch 351 is aligned with the slot 3621, and a second elastic element 352 is provided between the latch 351 and the movable support 35, and the second elastic element 352 is configured so that its elastic force can drive the latch 351 to insert into the slot 3621. The hinge assembly further includes a reset device configured to rotate the hinge shaft 36 from the second angle to the first angle when the translation unit 32 drives the horizontal operating panel 20 from front to back to below the first layer 11. The reset device includes a third elastic element 38 and a trigger mechanism. The third elastic element 38 is disposed between the hinge shaft 36 and the movable support 35. The elastic force of the third elastic element 38 is configured to drive the hinge shaft 36 to rotate relative to the movable support 35 in the opposite direction of the first rotation direction. The latch 351 is provided with a tapered step 353. The trigger mechanism includes a pin 40 fixedly connected to the first layer 11. When the translation unit 32 drives the horizontal operating panel 20 from front to back to below the first layer 11, the pin 40 compresses the tapered step 353, disengaging the latch 351 from the slot 3621, thereby causing the hinge shaft 36 to rotate to the first angle under the action of the third elastic element 38.

[0048] The working principle of the locking mechanism provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0049] The operation panel 20 is unfolded. First, the operation panel 20 is Figure 2 Pull the status shown to Figure 5 In the state shown, the lock pin 37 is aligned with the pin hole 311, and the lock pin 37 is inserted into the pin hole 311 under the action of the first elastic element 371 to fix the translation unit 32; then the operation panel 20 is removed from the Figure 2 The status shown flips to Figure 13 In the state shown in FIG. 1 , in this process, before the operation panel 20 reaches the upright state, the latch 351 and the slot 3621 are in a non-aligned state, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown, the movable support 35 can swing independently of the hinge shaft 36. At this time, the hinge shaft 36 remains at the first angle under the action of the limiting mechanism 39. Figure 11 As shown, when the operation panel 20 reaches the upright state, the latch 351 is aligned with the slot 3621, and the latch 351 is inserted into the slot 3621 under the action of the second elastic element 352, as shown in FIG. Figure 15 As shown, at this time, the hinge shaft 36 will rotate synchronously with the movable support 35.

[0050] As mentioned above, when the operation panel 20 is in the upright state, the latch 351 is inserted into the slot 3621, and the hinge shaft 36 and the movable support 35 rotate synchronously. Figure 14 The status shown flips to Figure 16 In the state shown, during this process, the hinge shaft 36 will rotate synchronously along the first rotation direction to the second angle, and then drive the pull pin 373, the slide plate 372 and the lock pin 37 to move away from the pin hole 311 through the spiral side wall 3611 and the guide pin 374, thereby unlocking the locking mechanism and then releasing the operation panel 20 from the Figure 16 The status shown is pushed back to Figure 2 In the state shown, the pin 40 fixedly connected to the first layer 11 will squeeze the tapered step 353 on the pin 351, as shown in FIG. Figure 18 As shown, the latch 351 is then pulled out of the slot 3621. At this time, the hinge shaft 36 loses the constraint of the movable support 35 and will rotate from the second angle back to the first angle under the action of the third elastic element 38, waiting for the next expansion process of the operation panel 20.

[0051] The present invention achieves coordinated control of the locking mechanism during the unfolding and storage of the operating panel 20 through an innovative linkage mechanism design: during unfolding, the translation unit 32 moves forward to trigger the automatic locking of the lock pin 37, while the flipping action is achieved in stages through the clutch design of the latch 351 and the slot 3621; during storage, the panel flips and unlocks the lock pin 37 through the spiral side wall 3611 of the hinge shaft 36, so that subsequent translation and storage do not require additional operation, and the reset device automatically resets the mechanism state when the panel is fully stored through the clever coordination of the pin 40 and the tapered step 353. This mechanical linkage system transforms complex spatial motion into precise timing control, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the operating panel 20 strictly avoids the grating detection area, and realizing an intuitive operating experience through multiple elastic elements and limit mechanisms 39, significantly improving the reliability and efficiency of equipment use in medical storage environments, while reducing equipment failures caused by misoperation.

[0052] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
