Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a locking system and method of a drawer type humidor. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a tobacco product with unique flavor and collection value, cigar has strict requirements on the environment for quality preservation, especially the stability of temperature and humidity. In order to meet the storage needs of cigars, a drawer type humidor emerges as the times require. It can provide a suitable preservation environment for cigars through the setting of a constant temperature device, effectively prolonging the shelf life of cigars and maintaining their good quality.

[0003] The existing drawer type humidor usually only has basic storage and constant temperature functions, and its drawer is mostly of a simple push-pull structure, lacking an effective locking mechanism. This makes it easy for anyone to open the drawer and take cigars, posing a risk of cigar theft or misplacement, and it is difficult to meet the user's demand for safe storage of cigars.

[0004] Although a few humidor are equipped with a locking device for the whole cabinet door, this locking method is aimed at the whole cabinet and cannot achieve independent control of individual drawers. When the user needs to take cigars in a certain drawer, the whole cabinet must be unlocked, which is not only inconvenient to operate, but also causes the storage environment of cigars in other drawers to be affected.

[0020] Referring to Figs. 1-2 , the embodiments of the present application are proposed, and the locking system of the drawer type humidor according to the embodiments comprises: The drawer type humidor comprises a cabinet 11 with a front opening, an inner container 12 arranged in the cabinet 11, and a containing cavity formed by the cabinet 11 and the inner container 12, wherein a plurality of drawers 13 are arranged in the inner container 12, and the drawers 13 are capable of sliding forward and backward in the inner container 12 to switch to a locked position or an open position; A controller is arranged on the cabinet 11; A locking device 20 is arranged in the inner container 12 and electrically connected to the controller, and the locking device 20 is used for locking the drawer in the locked position; A drawer selection unit 30 is arranged on the cabinet 11 and electrically connected to the controller; An identity verification unit 40 is arranged on the cabinet 11 and electrically connected to the controller, and the identity verification unit 40 is used for obtaining identity verification information, verifying the identity verification information, and sending a verification result to the controller, wherein if the verification is passed, the controller obtains drawer 13 information input by the drawer selection unit 30 and controls the locking device 20 corresponding to the drawer 13 to be unlocked so that the drawer 13 can slide forward under the action of an external force.

[0021] The locking method of the locking system of the drawer type humidor is specifically as follows: S1: The identity verification unit 40 obtains identity verification information of a user and verifies the identity verification information, and if the identity verification is passed, S2 is executed; if the identity verification fails, the drawer locking state is maintained; S2: Drawer 13 information input by the drawer selection unit is obtained, and the locking device 20 corresponding to the drawer 13 information is controlled to be unlocked.

[0022] The locking device 20 is unlocked, and the drawer 13 can slide forward to the open position under the action of an external force. In the present application, the identity verification unit 40 is arranged to ensure that only authorized personnel can unlock the drawer 13 to take the cigars, and the security of the cigar storage is improved; the drawer 13 in the locked position is locked by the locking device 20, and the precise control of the specific drawer 13 can be realized in combination with the drawer selection unit 30, and the influence of the open cabinet door on the temperature and humidity in the inner container 12 is avoided.

[0023] Based on the above, further comprising a position detection device installed in the cabinet 11 and used to detect whether the drawer 13 is in the locked position. When the unlocking device of any drawer 13 is unlocked, the drawer 13 is opened away from the locking device 20 under the action of external force. At this time, after the drawer 13 is used and returned to the locked position under the action of external force, the position detection device sends a signal to the controller, and the controller sends a signal to the locking device 20, and the locking device 20 locks the drawer in the locked position.

[0024] Specifically, after the second preset time length S2 is completed, the position detection device detects whether the drawer 13 corresponding to the unlocked locking device 20 is in the locked position. If so, the locking device 20 is relocked.

[0025] The position detection device can accurately detect whether the drawer 13 is returned to the locked position, ensure that the locking device 20 is locked only when the drawer 13 is in the correct position, avoid the situation that the locking is invalid due to the drawer 13 not being completely returned, and further improve the reliability of the locking; and automatically detect whether the drawer 13 is returned and relocked after being unlocked for a period of time, without the need for the user to manually lock, improving the convenience of use and preventing the drawer 13 from being forgotten after being unlocked.

[0026] The position detection device includes a proximity sensor corresponding to each drawer 13. When the proximity sensor detects the corresponding drawer 13, the controller controls the locking device to lock.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, in S2, if the drawer 13 information input by the drawer 13 selection unit is not obtained within the first preset time, S1 is re-executed, which avoids the situation that the system is in a standby selection state for a long time due to the user forgetting to select the drawer 13 or misoperation, reduces unnecessary energy consumption, and improves the safety of the system.

[0028] In this embodiment, referring to the drawings, the drawer 13 selection unit uses a one-to-one selection button as the drawer selection unit 30, which is simple in structure and intuitive in operation. The user can quickly and accurately select the target drawer 13, improving the ease of use of the system.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the identity verification unit 40 includes at least one of a fingerprint recognition module, a password input module, and an NFC recognition module, but is not limited thereto. The identity verification unit can also use face recognition and other identity verification methods. Referring to the drawings, the identity verification unit 40 uses a fingerprint recognition module.

[0030] In the embodiment, the cabinet 11 is further provided with a display 50, and the display 50 is electrically connected with the controller. The limiter can be used to display the temperature and humidity information in the cabinet 11, and can also be used to display the identity authentication state, the drawer locking / unlocking state and other information, so that the user can intuitively understand the running condition of the system, and the user experience is improved.

[0031] In the embodiment, the locking device 20 comprises a lock body 21, and the lock body 21 is provided with a driving unit and a lock tongue 22 connected with the driving unit. The driving unit is used to drive the lock tongue 22 to extend and retract on the lock body 21. In the embodiment, the drawer lock is installed in the inner container 12 at a position corresponding to the rear of the drawer 13, and the rear end of the drawer 13 is provided with a lock hook.

[0032] The driving unit drives the lock tongue 22 to extend on the lock body 21 and extend into the lock hook at the rear side of the drawer 13. When the driving unit drives the lock tongue 22 to shorten, the lock tongue 22 moves out of the lock hook to unlock the drawer 13, and the drawer 13 can slide under the action of an external force. In the embodiment, the locking device 20 is a drawer lock, and the drawer lock is a prior art. The working principle and specific structure of the drawer lock are not described in detail.

[0033] Of course, the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or replacements without departing from the spirit of the present application. These equivalent modifications and replacements are all included in the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
