Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of earbud dispenser technology, specifically relating to an intelligent earbud dispenser and an intelligent management system. Background Technology

[0002] Inside a nuclear power plant, the units are very noisy, so employees need to wear earplugs. Before entering the workplace, employees need to obtain earplugs from a manual earplug dispenser and wear them before entering their work station.

[0003] However, existing manual earbud dispensers have the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. Users need to manually crank the handle to get the earplugs, which is complicated and makes it difficult to control the actual number of earplugs taken, resulting in waste.

[0005] 2. The inventory control in the earplug hopper is vague and cannot accurately reflect the inventory quantity, which makes it impossible to know the inventory in the manual earplug dispenser in a timely manner, and often results in the earplug dispenser having no earplugs available.

[0006] 3. There are no restrictions on user access; anyone can claim the rewards, making user management impossible.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of earbud dispenser to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent earplug dispenser and intelligent management system. Through user registration and login, users select the quantity of earplugs they wish to receive. A servo motor drives a feeding mechanism to rotate, transporting the earplugs from the upper hopper to the middle hopper. The earplugs then pass through a discharge port and through-hole into a hopper, and finally into the outlet. As the earplugs enter the hopper, an infrared photoelectric sensor installed on the hopper counts the number of earplugs being dispensed, achieving accurate counting and dispensing, thus enabling intelligent earplug dispensing. Simultaneously, a feeding module, a counting module, an early warning module, and a data feedback module enable traceability and refined management of earplug usage. This invention can intelligently manage user information, user login status, the number of earplugs received by the user, and the earplug inventory, achieving remote control.

Detailed Implementation

[0049] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0050] like Figure 1-13 As shown, this invention provides an intelligent earphone dispenser, including a housing 1. A door 25 is hinged to the front of the housing 1 for easy opening and closing. The door 25 is equipped with a lock for securing it. A camera 2, a speaker 3, and a touchscreen 4 are mounted on the door 25 for user face recognition, human-computer interaction, information input, and earphone dispensing. A discharge port 5 is located at the bottom of the door 25 for dispensing earphones. Figure 1-3 As shown.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, camera 2 is equipped with an automatic fill light module and a high-definition face capture module with autofocus, enabling rapid and accurate recognition of the facial information of the person receiving the device. Speaker 3 features a dual-speaker design for voice interaction and guidance between the device and the person, effectively handling noisy conditions. Touchscreen 4 uses ten-point touch, providing a smooth and lag-free interface. Its 10.1-inch screen size offers a good human-computer interaction experience, meeting the functional requirements for earphone dispensing.

[0052] like Figure 4 , 8 As shown in Figures 9 and 11, the interior of the housing 1 is fitted with a partition 30 with through holes. A drawer slide rail 12 is installed on the top of the partition 30. A discharge mechanism 14 is slidably connected to the drawer slide rail 12. A hopper 19 is located in the middle of the interior of the discharge mechanism 14. The bottom of the hopper 19 is connected to the discharge port 5 for easy material discharge. A lower hopper 18 is located on the top of the hopper 19. A middle hopper 17 is located on the top of the lower hopper 18. An upper hopper 7 is located on the top of the middle hopper 17. A feeding mechanism 26 is installed in the middle of the middle hopper 17. A large gear 23 is installed on the outer side of the bottom of the lower hopper 18. A guide head 28 is located in the middle of the lower hopper 18. A servo motor 21 is installed on one side of the interior of the discharge mechanism 14. A small gear 22 that meshes with the large gear 23 is installed on the main shaft of the servo motor 21. An infrared beam sensor 20 is installed on one side of the bottom of the hopper 19 to accumulate and count the discharge of earplugs, thereby determining the quantity of inventory.

[0053] The infrared through-beam sensor 20 includes an infrared pulse transmitter and receiver, and a decoder. The transmitter and receiver are mounted on a metal base. It uses 16-channel precision measurement to detect objects passing by, falling, and to achieve automatic counting, ensuring that the accuracy of the earplug output data summary is ≥99%.

[0054] like Figure 4 , 6 As shown, a back panel 13 is installed on the back of the box 1 to fix the entire box to the wall. The back panel 13 can be detachably installed on the hanging ears 10 on the back of the box 1 for easy removal.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, an antenna 9 and a power socket 11 are installed on the side of the enclosure 1. A control chip 8 is installed on the back of the interior of the enclosure 1. The control chip 8 is connected to the antenna 9, the power socket 11, the camera 2, the speaker 3, the touch screen 4, the infrared beam sensor 20, and the servo motor 21. The control chip 8 enables intelligent control and can also be interconnected with the network and connected to the server.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, the camera 2, speaker 3, and touch screen 4 are all bolted to the cabinet door 25, the drawer slide 12 is bolted to the partition 30, the dispensing mechanism 14 is bolted to the drawer slide 12, and a handle 15 is installed on the dispensing mechanism 14. Figure 8 As shown, it is used to pull the discharge mechanism 14 out of the box for easy insertion of earplugs.

[0057] like Figure 3-5 As shown, a transparent window 6 is installed on the other side of the box 1, and several through holes are provided on the upper hopper 7 to make it easy to roughly see the number of earplugs.

[0058] like Figure 4-7 As shown, an arc-shaped feeding plate is installed inside the discharge port 5. The earplugs fall through the top feeding mechanism and slide passively to the discharge port through the sloping surface of the arc-shaped feeding plate, making it easy for personnel to pick up. A light is installed at the top inside the discharge port 5. The light turns on when the earplugs are being discharged, for example, by flashing the light, to remind the user that the earplugs are being discharged.

[0059] The servo motor 21 is bolted inside the discharge mechanism 14. For example... Figure 10-13 As shown, the feeding mechanism 26 includes a screw rod, an upper feeding rod 16 and a lower feeding rod 24. The upper feeding rod 16 is installed on the top of the screw rod, and the lower feeding rod 24 is an integral part of the screw rod. The feeding mechanism 26 is used to move the earplug from the upper hopper 7 to the middle hopper 17, and then from the middle hopper 17 to the discharge hopper 19.

[0060] The upper lever 16 is located inside the upper hopper 7. The spiral rod passes through the through hole at the bottom of the upper hopper 7 and is used to transport the ear plug in the upper hopper 7 to the middle hopper 17. The bottom of the middle hopper 17 is provided with four equally divided discharge ports 29. The discharge ports 29 are connected to the discharge hopper 19 through the through hole 27 on the circular plate that fixes the large gear 23.

[0061] The feeding mechanism 26 is mounted on the guide head 28 with screws, and the guide head 28 is also fixedly connected to the large gear 23 with screws. The servo motor 21 drives the large gear 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the guide head 28 to rotate, thereby driving the feeding mechanism 26 to rotate. This allows the through holes 27 on the circular plate that fixes the large gear 23 to pass through the discharge ports 29 in sequence, achieving the feeding of different numbers of earplugs. The drive of the servo motor 21 is controlled by the control chip 8, thereby controlling the number of earplugs fed.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, the smart earplug dispenser adopts a smart paddle design. The paddle is intelligently controlled through a control program terminal. Upon receiving an instruction, the paddle rotates to drive the earplugs in the hopper to move into the discharge port. When a stop signal is received, the control program achieves precise stopping through the set data. The control program terminal uses an industrial-grade precision control chip for precise intelligent control of the smart paddle component of the dispenser. The start and stop are stepless, without jerking or obvious vibration.

[0063] like Figure 14-19 As shown, the present invention also provides an intelligent management system for managing user information, managing the number of earphones, managing login, and remotely controlling the system. The system includes an intelligent management system 100, which is connected to a management terminal 200 via a server 300. The intelligent management system 100 is also connected to an earphone distributor. Specifically, the intelligent management system 100 is connected to a control chip 8, and through the control chip 8, the intelligent management system 100 is connected to a camera 2, a speaker 3, a touch screen 4, an infrared beam sensor 20, and a servo motor 21.

[0064] The intelligent management system 100 includes a user registration module 101, a user login module 102, a material handling module 103, a counting module 104, an early warning module 105, and a data feedback module 106. The user registration module 101, user login module 102, material handling module 103, counting module 104, and early warning module 105 are connected in sequence, and the data feedback module 106 is connected to the material handling module 103, the counting module 104, and the early warning module 105 respectively.

[0065] User registration module 101 is used for users to register accounts. User registration module 101 includes personnel information input unit 1011 and personnel information import unit 1012. Personnel information input unit 1011 is used to directly input employee information, and personnel information import unit 1012 is used to import employee information into the intelligent management system via wired or wireless means.

[0066] The user login module 102 is used for users to log in to the system and perform operations. The user login module 102 includes a face recognition login unit 1021, an account login unit 1022, and a login record unit 1023. The face recognition login unit 1021 is connected to the camera 2 and is used for login by face recognition. The account login unit 1022 is connected to the touch screen 4 and is used for login by electronic account. The login record unit 1023 is connected to the face recognition login unit 1021 and the account login unit 1022 and is used to record the logged-in user information and the number of logins.

[0067] The material handling module 103 is used to automatically handle earplugs by having the user input the required number of earplugs, and records the number of earplugs obtained, sending the data to the data feedback module 106. The material handling module 103 specifically includes a quantity input unit 1031, a motor drive unit 1032, and an earplug quantity recording unit 1033. The quantity input unit 1031 is connected to the touchscreen 4, allowing the user to directly input the required number on the touchscreen 4. The motor drive unit 1032 is connected to the servo motor 21, controlling the servo motor 21 to move the through hole 27 on the circular plate with the fixed large gear 23, thus enabling the unloading of different numbers of earplugs. The earplug quantity recording unit 1033 records the number of earplugs obtained by the user each time.

[0068] The counting module 104 is connected to the infrared beam sensor 20 and is used to accumulate the count of the earplugs discharged each time the material is fed, record the total number of earplugs discharged, and send the data to the data feedback module 106.

[0069] The early warning module 105 is used to issue early warnings for insufficient earplug dispensers, generate early warning information data, and send it to the data feedback module 106. The early warning module 105 specifically includes a data acquisition unit 1051, a data judgment unit 1052, and a data transmission unit 1053. The data acquisition unit 1051 is connected to the counting module 104 and acquires the total number of earplugs dispensed accumulated by the counting module 104. The data judgment unit 1052 is connected to the data acquisition unit 1051 and is used to determine the relationship between the acquired total number of earplugs dispensed and the original inventory. It calculates the inventory quantity based on the difference between the original inventory and the total number of earplugs dispensed. When the inventory quantity is ≤50, early warning information data is generated. The data transmission unit 1053 is connected to the data judgment unit 1052 and transmits the early warning information data to the data feedback module 106.

[0070] The data feedback module 106 receives the earplug quantity data sent by the material receiving module 103, the total number of earplugs discharged data sent by the counting module 104, and the warning information data sent by the warning module 105. It wirelessly transmits the received earplug quantity data, total number of earplugs discharged data, and warning information data to the server 300 for storage. The management terminal 200 can query the data in real time through the server 300. The received warning information data is also wirelessly transmitted to the management terminal 200, and the management system of the management terminal 200 triggers the warning function and issues an alarm.

[0071] The present invention provides an intelligent earphone dispenser and an intelligent management system, the working principle of which is as follows:

[0072] Open the cabinet door 25, then use the handle 15 to pull the dispensing mechanism 14 out of the cabinet 1. The dispensing mechanism 14 is pulled out by the drawer slide rail 12. Then, a certain number of earplugs are placed into the upper hopper 7. The dispensing mechanism 14 is then pushed back in to its original position. The approximate number of earplugs in the upper hopper 7 can be seen through the transparent window 6 on the side of the cabinet 1. When a user retrieves earplugs, they register their information using the user registration module 101, and then log in to the operating platform using the user login module 102. They can log in via facial recognition login unit 1021 or electronic account login unit 1022. The quantity of earplugs is then input into the quantity input unit 1031 of the material retrieval module 103. The servo motor 21 is then powered on by the motor drive unit 1032, which drives the small gear 22 to rotate. The rotation of the small gear 22 drives the large gear 23 to rotate. Rotation of 23 drives the material feeding mechanism 26 in the middle hopper 17 to rotate. The upper lever 16 and the screw rod transport the earplugs in the upper hopper 7 to the middle hopper 17. The lower lever 24 and the guide head 28 rotate to move the earplugs at the bottom of the upper hopper 7 into the discharge port 29. The through holes 27 on the circular plate with the large gear 23 are passed through the discharge port 29 in sequence to achieve different numbers of earplugs being fed. The fed earplugs enter the drop hopper 19 and then enter the discharge port 5. The top of the discharge port 5 is equipped with a light. When the feeding operation is performed, the light will turn on to remind the user that earplugs are about to be fed. When the earplugs are fed, the infrared beam sensor counts the data. Specifically, it includes an infrared pulse transmitter and receiver, a decoder, and the transmitter and receiver are mounted on a metal base. It uses 16-channel precision measurement to detect objects passing through and falling, and realizes automatic counting to ensure that the accuracy of the earplug feeding data is ≥99%.

[0073] The counting module 104 of the intelligent management system 100 accumulates the number of earplugs for each feeding. When an inventory warning occurs, it will be transmitted to the management terminal 200 via wireless transmission. The management terminal 200 will issue a warning to remind the staff to manually replenish the earplugs.

[0074] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All contents not described in detail in the present invention can be derived from existing technologies.
