DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a storage cabinet based on Internet of Things technology, including a shell 1, the front end outer wall of the shell 1 is hinged with a door panel 2, the inner wall of the shell 1 is provided with an ejection mechanism 4, and the outer wall of the door panel 2 is provided with a climbing mechanism 3; the climbing mechanism 3 includes a fixed block 301, the outer wall of the fixed block 301 is hinged with a connecting rod 302, the outer wall of the connecting rod 302 is fixedly connected to a cross bar 303, the outer wall of the connecting rod 302 is hinged with a control rod 304, the outer wall of the control rod 304 is fixedly connected to a protrusion 305, the outer wall of the protrusion 305 is provided with a card slot 306, the inner wall of the door panel 2 is elastically connected to a card block 308 through a connecting spring 307, and the top outer wall of the card block 308 is fixedly connected to a sliding plate 309.
[0020] The above scheme is adopted: the shell 1 is the main shell of the storage cabinet based on the Internet of Things technology, and various sensors, communication modules and controllers are arranged inside it, which can be connected to the Internet to realize intelligent item storage and management functions. The door panel 2 and the baffle 401 can be locked by existing technologies such as sensors after being closed, which plays a good anti-theft function. The above are existing technologies well known to professionals in this field and will not be repeated here; the door panel 2 can be opened, and when opened, it becomes a larger storage space for placing larger items, and the ejection mechanism 4 is provided with multiple groups, each group of ejection mechanisms 4 corresponds to a smaller storage space for placing smaller items. When the baffle 401 in the ejection mechanism 4 is opened, it can drive the movable plate 405 to move to the front end to eject the internal items, making it convenient for users to take items, and they do not need to reach deep into the interior to perform the taking operation; the climbing mechanism 3 on the outer wall of the door panel 2 can be unfolded and used as a ladder when the door panel 2 is closed, so that users can take higher items without the help of other tools, which is more flexible and saves time and effort.
[0021] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the fixed block 301 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the door panel 2, and multiple groups of cross bars 303 are provided. The outer wall of each group of cross bars 303 is hinged with two groups of connecting rods 302; one end of the connecting spring 307 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping block 308, and the other end of the connecting spring 307 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the door panel 2; the clamping block 308 is clamped with the clamping slot 306, and the clamping block 308 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the door panel 2.
[0022] The above solution is adopted: the fixing blocks 301 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the door panel 2 and are distributed vertically. The outer wall of each group of fixing blocks 301 is hinged with a group of connecting rods 302, and the cross bar 303 is fixedly connected between the two groups of connecting rods 302 in the same row. There are two groups of control rods 304, which are distributed vertically. The outer wall of the connecting rods 302 on each side is hinged with a group of control rods 304; the user can pull the control rod 304 to drive the connecting rods 302 to flip up and down, so that the cross bar 303 flips synchronously. When the connecting rod 302 flips to a horizontal state, the user can step on the cross bar 303 to climb up and pick up higher objects. In this state, the outer wall of the bottom end of the lowest group of cross bars 303 contacts the outer wall of the door panel 2, and the outer wall of the door panel 2 supports the cross bar 303, so that When the user steps on the cross bar 303, the bottom group of cross bars 303 will not move downward due to resistance, so the remaining groups of cross bars 303 will not move downward and remain in a horizontal state, making it convenient for the user to climb to a high place to pick up items; and when the connecting rod 302 is flipped to a vertical state, it fits with the front outer wall of the door panel 2, and the climbing mechanism 3 can be folded up as a whole. The outer walls of the connecting rod 302, cross bars 303 and control rod 304 are flush with the front outer wall of the door panel 2 and will not take up too much space; the left front outer wall of the door panel 2 is provided with an opening, and in the folded state, the protrusion 305 is located in the opening, and at this time, the control rod 304 on the left can be limited by engaging with the card slot 306 through the card block 308, so that the climbing mechanism 3 can be fixed as a whole and kept in the folded state.
[0023] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sliding plate 309 passes through the front end outer wall of the door panel 2, and the block 308 can be driven to move synchronously by moving the sliding plate 309; when not affected by external forces, the connecting spring 307 keeps the block 308 in a downward pop-up state due to its own elastic force, passing through the outer wall of the door panel 2. In this state, when the block 308 is engaged with the card slot 306, the climbing mechanism 3 can be retracted and fixed as a whole, saving space; and when it is necessary to pull the control rod 304 to pull the climbing mechanism 3 out for use, the sliding plate 309 that passes through the outer wall of the door panel 2 can be moved upward When the locking cam 308 is in the unlocked position, the locking cam 308 is unlocked and the locking cam 308 is unlocked.
[0024] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the ejection mechanism 4 includes a baffle 401, the outer wall of the baffle 401 is fixedly connected to the traction rope 402, the inner wall of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to the partition 403, the outer wall of the partition 403 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 404, the outer wall of the partition 403 is provided with a sliding groove 410, the rear end inner wall of the shell 1 is slidably connected to the slider 408, the outer wall of the slider 408 is hinged to the movable plate 405 through the hinge rod 407, the outer wall of the slider 408 is rotatably connected to the sliding rod 406, and the rear end outer wall of the movable plate 405 is fixedly connected to the reset spring 409.
[0025] When the baffle 401 is closed, the elastic force of the return spring 409 can make the movable plate 405 move backward and reset.
[0026] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple groups of baffles 401, and the multiple groups of baffles 401 are hinged to the front end outer wall of the shell 1; the traction rope 402 is wrapped around the outer wall of the rotating block 404, and the sliding rod 406 is in contact with the inner wall of the slide groove 410; one end of the hinged rod 407 is hinged to the outer wall of the movable plate 405, and the other end of the hinged rod 407 is hinged to the outer wall of the slider 408; the movable plate 405 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the partition 403, and the return spring 409 is fixedly connected to the rear end inner wall of the shell 1; the outer wall of the movable plate 405 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, and the traction rope 402 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 406.
[0027] The above solution is adopted: by opening the baffle 401, one end of the traction rope 402 can be pulled outward, and the traction rope 402 moves along the outer wall of the rotating block 404, so that the rotating block 404 rotates. There is rolling friction between the two, rather than sliding friction, which can reduce the loss caused by friction and increase the service life of the traction rope 402; the other end of the traction rope 402 pulls the sliding rod 406 to move. Since the sliding rod 406 is always in contact with the inner wall of the slide groove 410, it is guided by the slide groove 410 and keeps moving horizontally during the movement, and drives the slider 408 to move horizontally synchronously; when the slider 408 moves, the extrusion One end of the hinged rod 407 causes it to flip over, and the other end of the hinged rod 407 generates a thrust on the movable plate 405, causing it to move outward. The return spring 409 is stretched by the force, and the internal items can be pushed out through the movable plate 405 for easy removal. Moreover, since the user keeps the baffle 401 in the open state, the return spring 409 will not rebound due to its own elastic force, and the movable plate 405 will remain in the ejected state. In the process of closing the baffle 401, the return spring 409 contracts due to its own elastic force, driving the movable plate 405 to move to the rear end and reset, and the slider 408 moves synchronously with the hinged rod 407 to return to the initial state.
[0028] The working principle and use process of the present invention: The shell 1 serves as the outer shell of the storage cabinet, and integrates IoT-related sensors, communication modules and controllers to realize intelligent storage and management functions. It also has an anti-theft locking function. The door panel 2 can be opened to provide a larger storage space for large items. The ejection mechanism 4 is used to place small items and can eject them for easy access. The climbing mechanism 3 can be unfolded as a ladder when the door panel 2 is closed for users to take items from high places.
[0029] When the user needs to pick up items at a higher place, the sliding plate 309 that passes through the outer wall of the door panel 2 can be moved upward, driving the card block 308 to move upward synchronously, squeezing the connecting spring 307 to shrink it, and the card block 308 is out of contact with the card slot 306, so that the control rod 304 limit can be released and pulled downward. When the control rod 304 is pulled, the connecting rod 302 is driven to flip downward, causing the cross bar 303 to flip synchronously. When the connecting rod 302 flips to a horizontal state, the outer wall of the bottom end of the lowest group of cross bars 303 contacts the outer wall of the door panel 2, and the outer wall of the bottom end of the door panel 2 provides an upward supporting force. At this time, the climbing mechanism 3 can be used as a ladder, and the user can step on the cross bar 303 to gradually climb up to pick up items at a higher place on the shell 1.
[0030] When the lifting mechanism 3 is closed, the lifting plate 309 is lifted up and the locking block 308 is lifted up, so that the lifting mechanism 3 can be closed.
[0031] Under normal circumstances, the baffle 401 is locked due to the sensor inside the shell 1. When the user needs to take out the items inside, he can unlock it through a mobile phone or other controller and pull the baffle 401 to open it. This process is a prior art. In the process of opening the baffle 401, the traction rope 402 fixed on the upper and lower sides of the outer wall of the rear end is driven to move outward and move along the outer wall of the rotating block 404, so that the rotating block 404 rotates, and the other end of the traction rope pulls the sliding rod 406 to move. Since the sliding rod 406 contacts the inner wall of the slide groove 410 opened on the outer wall of the partition 403, it is guided by the slide groove 410. It is used to maintain lateral movement and drive the slider 408 to move horizontally synchronously. When the slider 408 moves, it squeezes one end of the hinged rod 407 to make it flip over, and the other end of the hinged rod 407 generates a thrust on the movable plate 405 to move it outward. The return spring 409 is stretched, and the movable plate 405 can push the items in the corresponding space of the baffle 401 to move forward, so that the user can take them away. When the baffle 401 remains in the open state, the return spring 409 is stressed and will not rebound, keeping the movable plate 405 in the ejected state, so that the user does not need to reach his hand into the deeper part of the shell 1 to take the items, which is more convenient.
[0032] During the process of closing the baffle 401, due to the elastic force of the return spring 409 itself contracting, the return spring 409 drives the movable plate 405 to move to the rear end and reset under this force, the slider 408 moves and resets, and the hinged rod 407 flips and resets with the slider 408, and the ejection mechanism 4 returns to its initial state as a whole, so that the object can be ejected again when the baffle 401 is opened next time.
