[0034] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 , a smart container based on light and sound guidance and dynamic light strip partitioning, including:

[0035] The cabinet body 100 is provided with a cabinet door 102 and a plurality of shelves 101 spaced apart in the vertical direction;

[0036] An electronic induction lock 300 is installed on the cabinet door 102 and is used to lock or unlock the cabinet door 102;

[0037] The LED light strip 200 is embedded in the layer board 101 and extends along the length of the layer board 101. The LED light strip 200 is used to adjust the length of the light to form a partition;

[0038] A speaker 105 is installed on the cabinet 100 and is used to emit voice prompts;

[0039] The main controller 500 is fixed inside the cabinet 100 and is electrically connected to the electronic induction lock 300, the LED light strip 200, and the speaker 105 respectively, and is used to control the electronic induction lock 300, the LED light strip 200 to light up, and the speaker 105 to emit a voice prompt tone.

[0040] This embodiment provides stable storage space for goods through the cabinet door 102 and the shelf 101, and the interval distribution of the shelf 101 provides the basis for zoning; the LED light strip 200 is embedded in the shelf 101 and the length of the light can be adjusted, which can form exclusive lighting partitions according to the needs of the goods, making the storage range of the goods intuitively visible. The speaker 105 issues voice prompts at key links, forming a dual visual and auditory guidance with the light partition; the main controller 500 serves as the control core, linking the electronic induction lock 300, the LED light strip 200 and the speaker 105 to ensure the precise synchronization of partition adjustment, sound and light guidance and cabinet door 102 control.

[0041] The electronic induction lock 300 is installed on the cabinet door 102 and locks or unlocks the cabinet door 102 by connecting to the main controller 500, ensuring the safety of the goods in the container. The cabinet door 102 can only be opened with authorization (such as user scanning a code) to prevent the goods from being taken away at will.

[0042] The above structures work together to enable replenishers to quickly place goods based on lighted partitions and voice prompts. When users pick up goods, they can also easily find the target goods through light guidance and sound prompts, which overall improves the convenience of container operation and management standardization.

[0043] Also includes:

[0044] RFID induction tag 400, the RFID induction tag 400 is used to be attached to the surface of the goods;

[0045] The RFID reader 401 is installed on the layer board 101 . The RFID reader 401 is electrically connected to the main controller 500 . The scanning range of the RFID reader 401 covers the upper surface of the corresponding layer board 101 .

[0046] The RFID sensing tag 400 is attached to the surface of the goods, providing a unique identity for each product, making it easier for the system to identify and track the goods. The RFID reader 401 is installed on the shelf 101 and the scanning range covers the upper surface of the corresponding shelf 101. It can accurately scan the RFID sensing tag 400 information of the goods on the shelf 101, realize rapid identification of the goods, and provide data support for subsequent product positioning and inventory management.

[0047] It also includes a camera 103, which is installed on the top wall of the cabinet 100, and is set towards the shelf 101. The camera 103 is electrically connected to the main controller 500; the camera 103 can shoot the goods on the shelf 101 and the user's picking up process, assist in confirming the picking up situation, and verify with the recognition results of the RFID reader 401 to improve the accuracy of the picking up information.

[0048] The LED light strip 200 is provided with a plurality of independently controlled light-emitting units 201 spaced apart along the length direction.

[0049] The shelf 101 is a horizontally arranged rectangular plate, and the two ends of each shelf 101 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet body 100. A groove 104 extending along the length direction is provided on the side of the shelf 101 close to the cabinet door 102, and the LED light strip 200 is embedded in the groove 104.

[0050] The LED light strip 200 is embedded in the shelf 101 and extends along the length of the shelf 101. Its adjustable lighting length can form different lighting zones, demarcating exclusive placement areas for goods, allowing replenishers and users to intuitively distinguish the storage range of different goods. The LED light strip 200 has multiple independently controlled light-emitting units 201 spaced apart along the length, and the zone size can be flexibly adjusted according to the quantity and size of the goods.

[0051] The speaker 105 is installed on the cabinet 100 and emits corresponding voice prompts when goods are put into storage or when users pick up goods. The sound transmits operation instructions, which cooperates with the visual guidance of the LED light strip 200, allowing replenishers and users to understand the operation requirements more clearly.

[0052] The main controller 500 includes: a power supply module, which provides working power to the electronic induction lock 300, the LED light strip 200, and the speaker 105; and a storage module, which is used to store the associated data of the coordinate range of the light-emitting partition and the information of the RFID induction tag 400.

[0053] The main controller 500 serves as the control core of the container, realizing precise control over the opening and closing of the cabinet door 102, the lighting of the LED light strip 200 and the sound of the speaker 105, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the overall function of the container. The power supply module of the main controller 500 provides working power for the electronic induction lock 300, the LED light strip 200 and the speaker 105, ensuring that each component can be stably powered; the storage module is used to store the associated data of the coordinate range of the luminous partition and the information of the RFID induction tag 400, providing data support for the positioning of goods and the guidance of picking up goods.

[0054] During use, when the replenisher is preparing to put the goods into the smart cabinet, the main controller 500 receives the relevant information of the goods to be put into the warehouse, and the main controller 500 sends instructions to the LED light strip 200. The LED light strip 200 adjusts the lighting length based on the quantity and size of the goods, forming an exclusive lighting partition on the shelf 101. The main controller 500 controls the speaker 105 to issue a voice prompt, such as please put the goods into the lit area.

[0055] According to the luminous partition formed by the LED light strip 200 and the voice prompt of the speaker 105, the replenisher places the goods with the RFID sensing tag 400 attached to the luminous partition of the corresponding shelf 101. The RFID reader 401 on the shelf 101 starts working, and its scanning range covers the entire upper surface of the shelf 101. It can quickly scan the RFID sensing tag 400 information on the goods and send the information to the main controller 500. The main controller 500 associates the coordinate range of the luminous partition with the corresponding RFID sensing tag 400 information and stores it in its own storage module.

[0056] After the goods are placed, the replenisher closes the cabinet door 102, and the electronic induction lock 300 locks the cabinet door 102 under the control of the main controller 500, and the warehousing process ends.

[0057] When the user needs to pick up goods, he sends a door opening request to the main controller 500 through authorization methods such as scanning a code. After receiving the authorization signal, the main controller 500 controls the electronic induction lock 300 to unlock, and the cabinet door 102 can be opened. At the same time, the speaker 105 issues a voice prompt for picking up the goods; the main controller 500 retrieves the corresponding product information from the storage module, finds the luminous partition where the goods are located, and the main controller 500 controls the LED light strip 200 corresponding to the luminous partition to light up to clearly indicate the location of the goods, and the speaker 105 simultaneously issues a voice prompt; the user picks up the goods in the corresponding luminous partition according to the light guidance of the LED light strip 200 and the voice prompt of the speaker 105. During this process, the camera 103 on the top wall of the cabinet 100 shoots the picking process in real time to assist in confirming the picking situation later.

[0058] After the user takes the goods and closes the cabinet door 102, the electronic induction lock 300 locks the cabinet door 102 again under the control of the main controller 500. The main controller 500 then triggers the RFID reader 401 on the shelf 101 to scan the remaining goods, obtain the RFID induction tag 400 information of the remaining goods, and compare the information with the information stored before taking the goods, preliminarily determine the user's pick-up information, and after confirming the pick-up information, the main controller 500 completes the automatic deduction operation based on the pick-up information.

[0059] In summary, compared with the existing technology, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0060] By adjusting the length of the LED light strip 200, dynamic luminous zones are formed to divide the interior of the container. When entering the warehouse, the main controller 500 drives the light strip to form an exclusive light zone and controls the speaker 105 to issue prompts, providing targeted spatial guidance for the replenisher and reducing the clutter of goods. When the user picks up the goods, the light zone corresponding to the target goods is lit up and accompanied by voice prompts, using intuitive location markings to solve the problem of difficulty in finding the goods when picking up the goods, thus realizing the overall optimization of the whole process from zoning to guidance.

[0061] The RFID sensing tag 400 cooperates with the RFID reader 401 to establish a unique identity for each item. The RFID reader 401 on the shelf 101 can accurately scan the item information in the corresponding area to achieve binding records between the item and the partition.

[0062] The camera 103 on the top wall of the cabinet 100 captures the entire process of picking up goods, which can effectively avoid omissions that may occur in a single identification method, improve information accuracy, provide a reliable basis for subsequent automatic deductions and inventory updates, and reduce settlement disputes and inventory data deviations.
