Abstract
Description
Technical Field This invention relates to furniture fittings. Background Technology Currently, known wardrobe storage devices include modular wardrobes, single-unit wardrobes, and integrated wardrobes designed for interior decoration. However, these wardrobes all share a common drawback: retrieving clothes from high shelves is inconvenient, sometimes requiring a ladder or stool, which increases the risk of falls. Furthermore, the storage space at higher levels is not fully utilized. Smart wardrobes overcome these shortcomings. They use a motor to drive mechanical movement to move clothes, allowing for convenient retrieval and placement with the touch of a button. This makes them particularly suitable for the elderly. Summary of the Invention This invention provides an intelligent locker. The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve the technical problem is as follows: an intelligent locker is composed of a lift, a cabinet frame, and storage boxes. The cabinet frame consists of pillars, horizontal columns, vertical columns, a horizontal shaft, a push plate, and cabinet frame gears. The pillars are located in four directions, and the pillars are connected by horizontal shafts and vertical columns to form the cabinet frame. The push plate, driven by the cabinet frame gears on the horizontal shaft, propels the storage boxes to move. The lift consists of a lift frame, gears, rollers, and a motor. A microcontroller controls the motor to rotate, driving the gears, which in turn drive the rollers. The steel wire ropes of the rollers pull the lift up and down on the pillars. The storage boxes are used to store clothing and are arranged in four layers on both sides of the lift. During the clothing retrieval process, clothing is placed in a storage box. There are 15 storage boxes in total, arranged in four layers: four boxes per layer on the cabinet frame, and three boxes on the top layer. Storage boxes numbered 1 to 15 are arranged from the first layer to the top layer of the cabinet frame. The microcontroller's matrix buttons 1 through 15 correspond to storage boxes 1 through 15, respectively. Pressing button 1 corresponds to storage box 1 on the first floor of the cabinet. The lift then rises to the first floor, and the gears on the first floor drive a push plate, which pushes storage box 2 onto the lift. The lift then moves upwards to the top floor, where the gears drive another push plate, which pushes storage box 2 to the outer left side of the top floor (where there is no storage box). The lift then moves downwards back to the first floor, where the gears drive another push plate, which pushes storage box 1 onto the lift. The lift then moves downwards to the retrieval opening to retrieve the clothing. After retrieving the clothes, press button 16 (program rewind button) on the microcontroller matrix. The lift will move upwards from the retrieval port to the first shelf. The gears on the first shelf will activate a push plate, which will push storage box #1 on the lift to the inner side of the first shelf. The lift will then move upwards to the top shelf. The gears on the top shelf will activate another push plate, which will push storage box #2 onto the lift. The lift will then move downwards from the top shelf back to the first shelf. The gears on the first shelf will activate another push plate, which will push storage box #2 on the outer side of the first shelf. This completes one cycle of retrieving and retrieving clothes. To retrieve clothes from a specific storage box, press the corresponding button.
[0001] The beneficial effect of this invention is that it overcomes the inconvenience of retrieving and placing clothes from high places, preventing the risk of falls. It uses a motor to drive mechanical movement to move the storage box, allowing for easy retrieval and placement of clothes with just the press of a button. It is very suitable for the elderly. Attached Figure Description The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Claims
1. A smart cabinet composed of a lift, a cabinet frame, and storage boxes. The cabinet frame consists of support columns, horizontal columns, vertical columns, a horizontal shaft, a push plate, storage boxes, and cabinet frame gears. The storage boxes are arranged in layers on the cabinet frame. A microcontroller controls a motor to rotate, driving the lift to move up and down, moving the storage boxes separately, thereby achieving automatic retrieval and placement of clothing in high positions.
2. The intelligent cabinet according to claim 1, characterized in that: the cabinet The frame consists of support columns, horizontal columns, vertical columns, a horizontal shaft, a push plate, storage boxes, and cabinet gears. The support columns are located in four directions and are connected by horizontal and vertical shafts to form the cabinet frame. The push plate, located on the horizontal shaft, is driven by the cabinet gears to move the storage boxes. The lift consists of a lift frame, gears, rollers, and a motor. A microcontroller controls the motor's rotation, which drives the gears. The gears then drive the rollers, and the steel cables of the rollers pull the lift up and down on the support columns. The storage boxes are used to store clothes and are arranged in four layers on both sides of the elevator. During the smart locker retrieval process, clothes are placed in the storage boxes. There are 15 storage boxes in total, arranged in four layers: four boxes per layer on the shelf, and three boxes on the top layer. Storage boxes numbered 1 to 15 are arranged from the first layer to the top layer of the shelf. The microcontroller's matrix buttons numbered 1 to 15 correspond to storage boxes 1 to 15 respectively. Pressing button 1 corresponds to storage box 1 on the first floor of the cabinet. The elevator rises to the first floor, and the gears on the first floor drive a push plate, which pushes storage box 2 onto the elevator. The elevator then moves upward to the top floor, where the gears drive another push plate, which pushes storage box 2 to the outer left side of the top floor (where there is no storage box). The elevator then moves downward back to the first floor, where the gears drive another push plate, which pushes storage box 1 onto the elevator. The elevator then moves downward to the retrieval slot to retrieve the clothing. After retrieving the clothing, pressing button 16 (program rewind button) on the microcontroller matrix causes the elevator to move upward from the retrieval slot back to the first floor. The gears on the first floor drive a push plate, which pushes storage box 1 onto the inner side of the first floor. The elevator then moves upward to the top floor, where the gears drive another push plate, which pushes storage box 2 onto the elevator. The lift moves down from the top of the cabinet shelf to the first floor. The gears on the first floor drive a push plate, which pushes storage box number 2 on the lift to the outer edge of the first floor shelf. This completes one cycle of retrieving and placing clothes. To retrieve clothes from a specific storage box, press the corresponding button.
