Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water vending equipment technology, and in particular relates to an AI intelligent facial recognition and image capture robot for creating labels for water vending. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology, more and more smart devices are being integrated into daily life. In shopping malls and other public places, you can often see devices that sell drinking water. These devices are equipped with facial recognition cameras that can identify the facial features of the person and check the account linked to the purchaser, and then confirm the payment through the purchaser, so that there is no need to pay with a mobile phone or cash. Nowadays, some shopping malls and other public places use mobile water vending robots that can move autonomously to sell water within a certain range.
[0003] During the process of selling water using mobile vending robots, because the robots can move freely, in some special circumstances, the cameras equipped with the robots may be backlit when recognizing faces due to the direction of sunlight or lamplight, which may affect the recognition results and thus affect the user experience of the purchasers.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: A cleaning plate is slidably installed inside the connecting seat. A first spring is installed on the bottom surface of the cleaning plate. A water bladder is installed on one side of the mounting seat and is filled with cleaning fluid. A connecting pipe is installed on one side of the water bladder.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The slider is slidably connected to the support plate through a groove opened in the support plate, and the groove is an arc-shaped groove. The second spring is located in the groove, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the support plate. The top surface of the mounting base is provided with a groove corresponding to the extrusion block.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: The mounting base is rotatably connected to the mounting rod via a groove starting from the inner side, and one end of the drive module inside the mounting rod is fixedly connected to the mounting base. The other end of the connecting tube is connected to the cleaning plate, and the bottom end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the mounting base.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The material feeding assembly includes a housing, and a positioning block is installed on the inner wall of the top of the housing. The positioning blocks are symmetrically arranged, and a connecting block is rotatably installed on the positioning block through a groove opened inside.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: An elastic strip is installed on one side of the connecting block, and both ends of the elastic strip are connected to the connecting block. The elastic strip is located at the opening at the top of the shell, and an arc-shaped plate is installed on the inner wall of the shell.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: A buffer plate is installed on the inner wall of the housing, and the buffer plate is arranged opposite to the arc plate. The housing is located inside the bottom end of the machine body.
[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this invention, by incorporating a camera component, during the sales process, if light affects the camera's shooting effect, a sunshade can be used to block some of the light, thereby reducing interfering light entering the camera and ensuring that the camera can recognize the buyer's face. Simultaneously, by activating an electric push rod, the hinged base and the sliding plate can be moved, allowing the sliding plate to gradually extend from one side of the sunshade, further blocking the light above the camera and increasing the sunshade's blocking area. This further improves the camera's recognition effect, reducing light interference and accurately identifying the buyer. Furthermore, during the recognition process, the buyer can also... Manually pushing the sun visor causes the connecting ring to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle between the sun visor and the camera. This further blocks interfering light. Through this design, during the sales process, the sun visor can block interfering light to a certain extent. Simultaneously, an electric push rod can move the sliding plate, increasing the area of the sun visor. This, combined with the sliding plate, further blocks interfering light, improving the camera's success rate in identifying buyers and enabling faster buyer identification, thus enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, pushing the sun visor rotates the connecting ring, adjusting the angle between the sun visor and the camera to better block interfering light.
[0016] 2. In this invention, by incorporating an installation component, the camera can be rotated during the recognition process by rotating the mounting base. This changes the camera's orientation, reducing light interference. Rotating the mounting base causes the slider to slide within the support plate, deforming the second spring. When the mounting base is released, the second spring causes it to return to its original position. Simultaneously, during nighttime operation, the drive module rotates the mounting rod and camera, bringing the camera into contact with the cleaning plate. This causes the cleaning plate to be compressed, compressing the first spring. The rotation of the mounting rod also drives the compression block... The water bladder is squeezed, allowing the cleaning fluid inside to enter the cleaning plate through the connecting tube, thereby cleaning the camera. This design allows the camera to rotate when identifying a buyer by rotating the mounting base, thus changing the camera's orientation. This reduces the impact of light on the camera and ensures accurate facial recognition. When the device is in sleep mode, the drive module rotates the camera and mounting rod, bringing the camera into contact with the cleaning plate. The squeezing block then compresses the water bladder, and the cleaning plate cleans and maintains the camera's surface.
[0017] 3. In this invention, by incorporating a material feeding assembly, when the bottled water falls from the machine body after payment, the water will contact the elastic strip. Since the elastic strip has a triangular cross-section with rounded corners, the water will slide off one side of the elastic strip, thus providing cushioning. Furthermore, because the connecting block and positioning block are rotatably connected, the elastic strip rotates upon contact with the water, reducing the reaction force. As the water continues to fall, it is blocked by an arc-shaped plate. Additionally, the arc-shaped plate... The flexible plate allows for deformation and rotation of the support plate, further cushioning the bottled water. The water slides towards the cushioning plate and lands at the bottom of the casing. This design, through elastic strips, curved plates, and a cushioning plate, buffers the falling bottled water when it is dropped after purchase, preventing deformation due to the impact. This ensures the integrity and aesthetics of the bottle, enhancing the buyer's shopping experience. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-9 The present invention provides a technical solution: an AI intelligent face recognition shooting and label making water vending robot, including a body 1, a support plate 2 installed on one side of the body 1; an installation component 3 installed on the top surface of the support plate 2; a shooting component 4 installed above the installation component 3; and a material dropping component 5 installed on one side of the bottom of the body 1. The shooting assembly 4 includes a mounting rod 406, with a camera 405 mounted at its center. A connecting ring 404 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the mounting rod 406 through a groove. A sunshade 402 is mounted on the top of the connecting ring 404, and a sliding plate 401 is slidably mounted on the top of the sunshade 402. A hinge seat 408 is mounted on the bottom of the sliding plate 401, and the telescopic end of an electric push rod 409 is hinged within the hinge seat 408. A first protrusion 403 is provided inside the connecting ring 404. Furthermore, a second protrusion 407 is provided in the groove connecting the outer wall of the mounting rod 406 and the connecting ring 404. An extrusion block 410 is installed on the outer wall of the mounting rod 406. The first protrusion 403 corresponds to the second protrusion 407. A drive module is provided inside the mounting rod 406. The round rod on the outer wall of the other end of the electric push rod 409 is rotatably connected to the sun visor 402 through a groove opened on the inner side of the sun visor 402. The hinge seat 408 is slidably connected to the sun visor 402 through a groove opened on the top surface of the sun visor 402.
[0030] The specific implementation is as follows: During the sales process, if light affects the shooting effect of the camera 405, the sunshade 402 can block the light to a certain extent, thereby reducing the amount of interfering light entering the camera 405, thus ensuring that the camera 405 can recognize the face of the buyer. At the same time, the electric push rod 409 can be activated to move the hinge seat 408 and the slide plate 401, so that the slide plate 401 can gradually extend from one side of the sunshade 402, thereby better blocking the top of the camera 405, increasing the blocking area of the sunshade 402, and thus better blocking the interfering light, thereby further improving the recognition effect of the camera 405, reducing light interference, and accurately recognizing the buyer. In addition, during the recognition process, the buyer can also manually push the sunshade 402 to rotate the connecting ring 404, thereby adjusting the angle between the sunshade 402 and the camera 405, and further blocking the interfering light.
[0031] The mounting assembly 3 includes a mounting base 303, side plates 307 mounted on both sides of the mounting base 303, a slider 308 mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting base 303, a second spring 309 mounted on one side of the slider 308, a connecting seat 305 mounted on the top surface of the mounting base 303, a cleaning plate 304 slidably mounted inside the connecting seat 305, a first spring 306 mounted on the bottom surface of the cleaning plate 304, a water bladder 301 mounted on one side of the mounting base 303 and filled with cleaning fluid, a connecting pipe 302 mounted on one side of the water bladder 301, and the slider... 308 is slidably connected to the support plate 2 through a groove opened in the support plate 2, and the groove is an arc-shaped groove. The second spring 309 is located in the groove, and the other end of the second spring 309 is fixedly connected to the support plate 2. The top surface of the mounting base 303 has a groove corresponding to the extrusion block 410. The mounting base 303 is rotatably connected to the mounting rod 406 through a groove starting from the inner side. One end of the drive module in the mounting rod 406 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 303. The other end of the connecting pipe 302 is connected to the cleaning plate 304. The bottom end of the first spring 306 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 303.
[0032] The specific implementation is as follows: During the recognition process of the camera 405, the camera 405 can also be rotated by rotating the mounting base 303, thereby changing the orientation of the camera 405 to reduce light interference. When the mounting base 303 is rotated, the slider 308 can slide within the support plate 2, causing the second spring 309 to deform. When the mounting base 303 is released, the second spring 309 can cause the mounting base 303 to return to its original position. At night, when the device is resting, as the drive module drives the mounting rod 406 to rotate with the camera 405, the camera 405 can come into contact with the cleaning plate 304, thereby squeezing the cleaning plate 304 and compressing the first spring 306. Simultaneously, as the mounting rod 406 rotates, it can drive the squeezing block 410 to squeeze the water bag 301, and the cleaning fluid in the water bag 301 can enter the cleaning plate 304 through the connecting pipe 302, thereby cleaning the camera 405 and ensuring that the surface of the camera 405 is clean.
[0033] The material feeding assembly 5 includes a housing 506. Positioning blocks 505 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the top of the housing 506. A connecting block 502 is rotatably mounted on each positioning block 505 via an internal slot. An elastic strip 501 is mounted on one side of each connecting block 502, with both ends connected to the connecting block 502. The elastic strip 501 is located at the opening at the top of the housing 506. An arc-shaped plate 504 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 506, and a support is mounted at the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 504. The plate 509 has a fixed seat 507 installed on the inner wall of the housing 506. Connecting columns 510 are installed on both sides of one end of the support plate 509. A torsion spring 508 is provided in the fixed seat 507. The connecting column 510 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 507 through a slot opened in the fixed seat 507, and the outer wall of the connecting column 510 is fixedly connected to the torsion spring 508. A buffer plate 503 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 506. The buffer plate 503 is arranged opposite to the arc plate 504. The housing 506 is located inside the bottom end of the machine body 1.
[0034] The specific implementation is as follows: When the bottled water falls from the machine body 1 after payment is completed, the bottled water will come into contact with the elastic strip 501. Since the cross-section of the elastic strip 501 is triangular and all corners are rounded, the bottled water will slide down from one side of the elastic strip 501, thus being buffered by the elastic strip 501. Since the connecting block 502 is rotatably connected to the positioning block 505, the elastic strip 501 can rotate when it comes into contact with the bottled water, thereby reducing the reaction force of the elastic strip 501. When the bottled water continues to fall, it can be blocked by the arc plate 504. Since the arc plate 504 is a flexible plate, it deforms and can cause the support plate 509 to rotate, thereby further buffering the bottled water and causing the bottled water to slide towards the buffer plate 503 and fall to the bottom of the housing 506.
[0035] Working Principle: During the sales process, if light affects the shooting effect of camera 405, the sunshade 402 can block the light to a certain extent, thereby reducing the amount of interfering light entering camera 405. This ensures that camera 405 can recognize the face of the buyer. Simultaneously, by activating the electric push rod 409, the hinge seat 408 and the sliding plate 401 are moved, allowing the sliding plate 401 to gradually extend from one side of the sunshade 402, further blocking the light above camera 405. This increases the blocking area of the sunshade 402, further improving the blocking effect of interfering light and enhancing the performance of camera 405. The recognition effect of camera 405 reduces light interference, thus accurately identifying the buyer. During the recognition process, the buyer can manually push the sun visor 402 to rotate the connecting ring 404, thereby adjusting the angle between the sun visor 402 and the camera 405, further blocking interfering light. During the recognition process, the camera 405 can also be rotated by rotating the mounting base 303, thereby changing the orientation of the camera 405 to reduce light interference. Furthermore, rotating the mounting base 303 causes the slider 308 to slide within the support plate 2, allowing the... The second spring 309 deforms, and when the mounting base 303 is released, the second spring 309 causes the mounting base 303 to return to its original position. Simultaneously, when the equipment is resting at night, the drive module rotates the mounting rod 406 and camera 405, causing the camera 405 to contact the cleaning plate 304. This compresses the cleaning plate 304 and the first spring 306. The rotation of the mounting rod 406 also causes the squeezing block 410 to squeeze the water bladder 301, allowing the cleaning fluid in the water bladder 301 to enter the cleaning plate 304 through the connecting pipe 302, thus cleaning the camera 405. When the bottled water falls from the machine body 1 after payment, the bottle... When the bottled water comes into contact with the elastic strip 501, the water will slide off one side of the elastic strip 501 due to its triangular cross-section with rounded corners. This provides cushioning. Furthermore, the connecting block 502 and the positioning block 505 are rotatably connected, allowing the elastic strip 501 to rotate when it comes into contact with the water, thus reducing the reaction force of the elastic strip 501. As the water continues to fall, it is blocked by the arc plate 504. The arc plate 504 is a flexible plate, which deforms and causes the support plate 509 to rotate, further cushioning the water. The water then slides towards the buffer plate 503 and lands at the bottom of the housing 506.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
