Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of laundry management technology, and more specifically, to a smart management method and system for laundry stores. Background Technology

[0002] Laundry shops, as frequently used service locations in daily life, handle a large number of customers' laundry daily. Traditional laundry shop management typically employs a manual collection system, paper-based record keeping, and manual retrieval of garments. When customers drop off their clothes, shop staff manually issue a laundry slip and hang the garments on designated racks within the shop. After washing, the clothes are returned to the shop, where staff re-hang the clean garments on the racks. When customers retrieve their clothes, staff use the paper slip to search for the corresponding garment among numerous racks. This manual management model has the following problems: Firstly, as the shop's business volume increases, the number of garments on the racks also increases, leading to longer waiting times for staff and customers. Secondly, the manual retrieval process is prone to errors such as misplacing, missing, or incorrectly distributing garments, which not only affects customer experience but may also lead to customer disputes and financial losses for the shop. Furthermore, the information flow between the collection, washing, return, and retrieval stages is fragmented, lacking a closed-loop traceability system. If garments are lost or information is incorrect, it is difficult to quickly pinpoint the problem.

[0003] With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and RFID technologies, some patented technologies have attempted to apply RFID technology to the field of laundry management. For example, Chinese patent CN104992386A discloses an RFID-based hotel item laundry management system, which tracks and records the quantity, washing process, and storage location of laundry items by attaching electronic tags with unique ID numbers to them and using a read / write module. Chinese patent CN108416602A discloses a system for tracking and viewing the management and washing status of hotel linens by sewing RFID tags and hot-printing QR code tags onto the linens, combined with an RFID scanning antenna to collect and query information on the flow of linens. Chinese patent CN102004931A discloses a laundry shop clothing management method and system, which stores hanger location codes on customer vouchers, and the operating platform controls the read / write device to identify the voucher information and control the execution device to hang and retrieve clothing. In addition, there are technical solutions that use a combination of RFID and image recognition for identification laundry methods, generating electronic tags through RFID for process management, separating the electronic tags from the clothing during cleaning, and then re-pairing them using image recognition technology.

[0004] However, the existing technologies still have shortcomings. In the process of sending clothes from stores to the central laundry plant, there is a lack of effective management of the entire chain. The information transmission between stores and laundry plants still relies on manual verification or paper documents, which is inefficient and prone to errors. In addition, the problem of how to automatically bind the clothing information to the specific hanging location when the clean clothes are hung has not been solved. Store employees still need to record or operate manually. More importantly, the existing technologies still mainly rely on manual search or semi-automatic assistance in the clothing retrieval process. There is a lack of a complete solution that can automatically identify, locate, and retrieve all clothing based on customer identity information. The process of staff searching for specific customers' clothing among a large number of clothes is not only time-consuming, but also prone to operational errors such as mistaking or missing items.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary for the inventors to design a new intelligent management method and system for laundry stores to overcome the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main purpose of this application is to provide a smart management method and system for laundry stores to solve the problems of hanging and retrieving clean clothes in laundry stores on the market.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a smart management method and system for laundry stores, comprising the following steps: S1, Soiled Laundry Disposal: Enter identity information and soiled laundry information on the operating terminal of the integrated door. The integrated door distributes soiled laundry bags with RFID tags. After putting the soiled laundry into the soiled laundry bag, put it into the soiled laundry basket inside the store through the disposal port of the integrated door. The RFID antenna set at the disposal port scans the RFID tag, binds the identity information and soiled laundry information and records it. S2, Soiled Laundry Delivery: When the laundry basket is full, the bags containing the soiled clothes are sent to the central laundry plant. After receiving the soiled clothes bags, the central laundry plant scans the RFID tags on the bags, prints care labels corresponding to the number of soiled clothes in the bags, and after opening the bags, attaches the care labels to each piece of soiled clothing. The soiled clothes are then sorted, washed, dried, and inspected. After passing the quality inspection, a self-adhesive identification code is affixed to the clothes hanger. This self-adhesive identification code is set to correspond with the RFID information. After being distributed to stores by the distribution line, the washed clean clothes are transported back to the corresponding stores. S3, Clean Clothes Hanging: Clean clothes that have been washed at the central laundry plant and sent back to the store are hung one by one on a rotating hanger. The clothing information is identified by scanning the self-adhesive identification code on the hanger. The hanger detection device records the position information of each garment on the rotating hanger and binds the position information with the corresponding clothing information and stores it in the identification control system. S4, Clothes Retrieval: The customer's identity information is entered on the operation terminal of the integrated door. The identification and control system retrieves the location information of all the corresponding clothes based on the customer's identity information, and controls the drive device to drive the rotating clothes rack to rotate. When the photoelectric detection device detects that the target clothes have rotated to the retrieval point of the retrieval arm, the retrieval arm removes the clothes from the rotating clothes rack and stores them temporarily. The above retrieval action is repeated until all the customer's clothes are retrieved. The retrieval opening of the integrated door is then opened to allow the customer to take the clothes and the retrieval completion information is automatically recorded.

[0008] Optionally, in step S1, the identity information includes a mobile phone number and / or a membership card number; the soiled clothing information includes clothing type, clothing color, clothing quantity and / or a description of special stains.

[0009] Optionally, in step S1, the RFID antenna is an RFID scanning antenna located at the inlet. The RFID scanning antenna emits radio frequency signals. When the RFID tag on the dirty linen bag enters the working area of ​​the RFID scanning antenna, the RFID tag senses the radio frequency signal, gains energy, and is activated, transmitting its stored encoded information through the built-in antenna. The RFID scanning antenna receives the signal transmitted by the RFID tag, processes it, and obtains the encoded information stored in the RFID tag.

[0010] Optionally, in step S2, the central laundry plant is equipped with an RFID scanning antenna and an antenna connected to the scanning antenna in the clothing receiving area. Place the dirty laundry bag within the antenna's reading range, and the scanning antenna will transmit a radio frequency signal to activate the RFID tag on the dirty laundry bag, allowing all the information stored in the RFID tag to be read at once. The scanning antenna transmits the information it reads to the management system of the central laundry plant. The management system then compares the information with the laundry order stored in the system to confirm the store origin, customer identity, and quantity of the soiled laundry.

[0011] Optionally, the management system generates a corresponding number of print jobs based on the number of garments in the soiled laundry information read from the RFID tags; The management system encodes the identity information, clothing type and / or clothing number of each soiled garment into a care label code, and establishes a one-to-one mapping relationship between the care label code and the RFID tag code information; The management system sends the print job to the wash label printer that is connected to the management system. Print care labels containing care label codes and RFID tags using a care label printer; After printing, attach each care label to the corresponding soiled garment.

[0012] Optionally, in step S2, after the central washing plant has passed the quality inspection, it affixes an adhesive identification code to the hanger of each garment. The surface of the self-adhesive identification code has a readable graphic code printed on it. The graphic code is a QR code or barcode. Its code content has a unique mapping relationship with the corresponding wash label code. The identification control system stores a table of the association relationship between the self-adhesive identification code and the RFID tag code. The self-adhesive identification code is scanned by a barcode scanner, and the scanned and read coded information is transmitted to the identification control system. The identification control system queries the association table in reverse and retrieves all the identity information and soiled clothing information corresponding to the garment bound in step S1, thus completing the switch of the information carrier from the care label to the self-adhesive identification code. After being distributed to stores via the distribution line, the washed clothes and their corresponding self-adhesive identification codes are transported back to the respective stores.

[0013] Optionally, step S3 further includes the following steps: S31, after receiving the clean clothes and corresponding self-adhesive identification code information transported back from the central laundry plant, remove each clean garment from the packaging one by one; S32, hang the clean clothes one by one from the hanging points to the empty hanging positions of the rotating clothes hanger. The hanging points or each hanging position are equipped with a clothes hanger detection device, which can be any one of photoelectric sensor, micro switch, gravity sensor, or magnetic induction sensor. S33: For each piece of clean clothing hung on the rack, the self-adhesive identification code attached to the rack is scanned by a barcode scanner to obtain the clothing information corresponding to the clean clothing and the customer identity information associated with it. S34, the scanned and read coded information is transmitted to the identification control system. The identification control system retrieves all information corresponding to the clean garment from the stored association table based on the coded information, including customer identity information, garment type, garment color and / or special washing requirements. S35, after the hanger detection device detects that the clothes have been hung in the corresponding hanging position, it generates a hanging signal for the hanging position and sends the hanging signal to the identification control system. The hanging signal contains a unique location identifier for the hanging position. S36, the identification control system receives the hanging signal sent by the hanger detection device, binds the unique position identifier in the hanging signal with all the information of the clean garment retrieved in step S34, and generates the hanging record of the clean garment. The hanging record includes at least customer identity information, garment information, unique position identifier of the hanging position and hanging time. S37. Repeat steps S32 to S36 until all clean clothes are hung up. The identification control system stores the hanging record of each clean garment in the storage module of the identification control system, forming a one-to-one correspondence between each customer's garment and its hanging position on the rotating hanger.

[0014] Optionally, step S4 may also include the following steps: S41, When retrieving clean clothes, enter your mobile phone number, membership card number and / or scan the retrieval QR code generated by the client application on the operation terminal. The operation terminal will send the entered identity information to the identification and control system. S42, After receiving the identity information, the identification control system retrieves and obtains all the customer's washed clothes and corresponding self-adhesive identification codes from the system based on the identity information, forming a list of the customer's clothes to be picked up. S43, the identification control system uses the self-adhesive identification code corresponding to each piece of clean clothing to match the hanging position of each piece of clothing on the current rotating hanger from the stored hanging records of each piece of clean clothing, and generates a clothing retrieval task queue and the optimal rotation path of the rotating hanger. The optimal rotation path is the shortest rotation path that allows the target clothing to pass through the retrieval point in sequence. S44, the identification and control system sends a rotation command to the drive device, and the drive device drives the rotating clothes hanger to start rotating according to the optimal rotation path, so that the target clothes pass through the collection point in sequence. S45, when the through-beam detection device installed at the rotating clothes hanger retrieval station detects that the target clothing has rotated to the retrieval point with the rotating clothes hanger, it sends a position signal to the identification control system. After receiving the position signal, the identification control system sends a clothing retrieval command to the retrieval arm. S46, after receiving the clothing retrieval command, the retrieved arm removes the target clothing from the rotating hanger and temporarily stores the removed target clothing in the storage rod. After the retrieved arm completes the clothing retrieval action, it returns to the standby position. S47, after the identification and control system confirms that the current target garment has been removed, it continues to send a rotation command to the drive device to drive the rotating hanger to continue rotating so that the next target garment reaches the removal point, and repeats steps S45 to S46 until all garments are removed and temporarily stored in the temporary storage area. S48, after the identification and control system confirms that all of the customer's clothes have been taken out, it sends an opening command to the clothing retrieval port of the integrated door. The door of the clothing retrieval port opens automatically and displays a clothing retrieval prompt on the integrated door's operating terminal and / or client application. S49, after the sensor at the clothing retrieval point detects that the clothing has been taken, the identification and control system records the time when the customer completes the retrieval, binds the retrieval completion information with the customer's identity information and stores it, and removes the customer's clothing information from the waiting list.

[0015] A smart management system for a laundry shop includes an integrated door, a rotating clothes rack, and a retrieval arm. The integrated door includes a door body, an operating terminal, and an input port on the door body. The rotating clothes rack includes a rotating guide rail, a clothes rack adapted to the rotating guide rail and capable of moving along its set path, the clothes rack having a hanging position, a guide assembly for supporting and moving the clothes rack along the rotating guide rail, and a driving device for driving the movement of the clothes rack. The guide assembly includes guide wheels and support wheels located on both sides of the top of the clothes rack and rotatably connected to them. The rotating clothes rack also has a retrieval mechanism for assisting the retrieval arm. The retrieval mechanism includes a mounting plate on the rotating clothes rack, a cylinder vertically rotating on the mounting plate, an eccentric wheel rotating on the mounting plate, one end of the eccentric wheel being rotatably connected to the output shaft of the cylinder, and an inclined guide bar extending from the eccentric wheel to the outside of the clothes rack, the cylinder driving the inclined guide bar to raise the clothes rack hanging in the hanging position.

[0016] Optionally, the removal arm includes: a mounting frame fixed to the rotating hanger; a sprocket assembly arranged along the length of the mounting frame; a conveyor rail for receiving and conveying the lifted hanger, the conveyor rail being fixed to the mounting frame; and a temporary storage rod at the end of the conveyor rail for buffering the hanger; the sprocket assembly includes a guide group; conveyor sprockets rotatably disposed at both ends of the guide group; a motor group for driving the conveyor sprockets to rotate; and a welded chain for driving the two conveyor sprockets, the welded chain being in contact with the conveyor rail.

[0017] This invention provides a smart management method and system for laundry stores. Compared with existing technologies, its advantages are as follows: By sequentially using three information carriers—RFID tags, care labels, and self-adhesive identification codes—a complete information chain is constructed, from store laundry collection to central laundry washing and then to store clean laundry management. Specifically, at the store, the RFID antenna at the input port automatically scans the RFID tag on the soiled laundry bag, binding and recording the identity information with the soiled laundry information. After receiving the soiled laundry bag, the central laundry factory scans the RFID tag and prints a care label, establishing a one-to-one relationship between the care label code and the RFID tag code. The corresponding mapping relationship; after washing, the care label is removed and a self-adhesive identification code is affixed. The encoded content of the self-adhesive identification code has a unique mapping relationship with the care label code. The identification control system stores a table of association between the self-adhesive identification code and the RFID tag code. By scanning the self-adhesive identification code with a barcode scanner, all identity information and soiled clothing information bound in S1 can be retrieved in reverse. Thus, the clothing information is seamlessly connected from store entry to store management after washing, effectively overcoming the defects of information silos between stores and washing plants and the easy loss or confusion of information during clothing flow in existing technologies.

[0018] After store employees hang clean clothes on available hanging slots on the rotating hanger, they scan the self-adhesive identification code to obtain the clothing information. The hanger detection device automatically detects the hanging position of the clothing and generates a hanging signal containing a unique location identifier for the hanging slot. The identification and control system automatically binds the unique location identifier of the hanging slot with the clothing information to generate a hanging record. Store employees do not need to manually record the slot number or perform additional manual registration, avoiding errors and omissions that may occur due to manual recording.

[0019] After the customer's identity information is entered on the operating terminal of the integrated door, the identification and control system automatically retrieves the location information of all the customer's clothes, generates a clothing retrieval task queue and the optimal rotation path, controls the drive device to drive the rotating clothes rack to rotate, and removes the clothes one by one by the removal arm and temporarily stores them. Finally, the clothing retrieval port is automatically opened for the customer to take the clothes. The whole process does not require staff to manually search and retrieve clothes, which completely solves the problems of time-consuming, easy to mistakenly take, and easy to miss when staff search through a large number of clothes for specific customers in the existing technology, and also shortens the customer's waiting time.

[0028] Example 1 A smart management method for laundry stores includes the following steps: S1, Soiled Laundry Disposal: Enter identity information and soiled laundry information on the operation terminal 11 of the integrated door. The integrated door distributes soiled laundry bags with RFID tags. After putting the soiled laundry into the soiled laundry bag, put it into the soiled laundry basket inside the store through the disposal port 12 of the integrated door. The RFID antenna set at the disposal port 12 scans the RFID tag, binds the identity information and soiled laundry information and records it.

[0029] Specifically, after arriving at the store with their soiled clothes to be washed, customers enter their identity information at the integrated door terminal 11. This identity information includes their mobile phone number and / or membership card number, serving as a unique identifier for the customer in the system. Simultaneously, customers enter soiled clothing information on the terminal 11, including the type of clothing, color, quantity, and a description of any special stains. This information facilitates the subsequent sorting and washing of clothes by type and degree of soiling at the central laundry facility. Furthermore, the quantity information is used to confirm the number of care labels printed, preventing discrepancies that could lead to untraceable items.

[0030] The integrated door dispenses laundry bags equipped with RFID tags. These bags are reusable, and the RFID tags are affixed to the bag's seal or surface. Each RFID tag has a globally unique code, which is pre-registered in the system and linked to store information. After filling the laundry bags with all the laundry to be washed, the customers insert the bags into the laundry bins inside the store through the door's inlet 12.

[0031] The RFID antenna installed at the inlet 12 is an RFID scanning antenna, which is fixedly installed inside or outside the inlet 12, with its radiation direction facing the inlet channel of the inlet 12. The RFID scanning antenna continuously emits radio frequency signals of a specific frequency. When the RFID tag on the soiled laundry bag enters the working area of ​​the RFID scanning antenna through the inlet 12, the internal antenna of the RFID tag senses the radio frequency signal emitted by the RFID scanning antenna, generating an induced current through electromagnetic induction, thereby obtaining the energy required for operation and being activated. After being activated, the RFID tag transmits the encoded information stored in its own chip as a radio frequency signal through its built-in antenna. The RFID scanning antenna receives the return signal sent by the RFID tag, and after demodulation and decoding by the signal processing module inside the scanning antenna, it obtains the encoded information stored in the RFID tag. The scanning antenna transmits the obtained encoded information to the identification control system. The identification control system binds the encoded information with the identity information and soiled laundry information entered on the operating terminal 11, and stores it in the storage module of the identification control system, completing the information entry and binding record of the soiled laundry bag. Through the above binding process, each bag of soiled laundry is uniquely associated with its corresponding customer identity information and soiled laundry details, ensuring traceability throughout the entire washing, delivery, and pickup process. Furthermore, the placement of the RFID antenna allows the RFID tag to be automatically read the instant it passes through the input port 12, eliminating the need for customers or staff to perform additional scanning. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of information entry and avoids potential issues such as missed or incorrect scans that may occur with manual scanning.

[0032] The identification control system is the core data processing and scheduling unit of the intelligent management system for laundry stores of the present invention. It is set in the control cabinet inside the store or integrated inside the door body (1) of the integrated door, and is electrically connected to the store's power supply system and network system.

[0033] S2, Soiled Laundry Delivery: When the laundry basket is full, the bags containing the soiled clothes are sent to the central laundry plant. After receiving the soiled clothes bags, the central laundry plant scans the RFID tags on the bags, prints care labels corresponding to the number of soiled clothes in the bags, and affixes the care labels to each soiled garment after opening the bags. The soiled clothes are then sorted, washed, dried, and inspected. After passing the quality inspection, a self-adhesive identification code is affixed to the garment hanger. This self-adhesive identification code is set to correspond with the RFID information. The cleaned clothes are then transported back to the corresponding stores.

[0034] Specifically, the laundry baskets in the stores are used to temporarily store bags of soiled laundry that customers have deposited. When the number of bags in the laundry baskets reaches full capacity or a predetermined loading limit, store staff will collect all the bags and pack them together, then send them to a central laundry facility for centralized washing. By centralizing the washing of laundry from multiple stores, economies of scale can be achieved, washing efficiency can be improved, and the washing cost per garment can be reduced. Furthermore, the central laundry facility is equipped with professional washing equipment and experienced operators, ensuring consistency and stability in washing quality.

[0035] After receiving soiled laundry bags from various stores, the central laundry plant performs information reading and verification in the laundry receiving area. The central laundry plant has a fixed UHF RFID scanning antenna in the laundry receiving area. Staff place the soiled laundry bags one by one within the antenna's reading range, or push a trolley carrying multiple soiled laundry bags through the RFID reading channel formed by the antenna. The scanning antenna emits a radio frequency signal, activating the RFID tag on the soiled laundry bag and reading all the information stored in the RFID tag at once, including the store origin information, customer identity information, type of soiled laundry, color of soiled laundry, quantity of soiled laundry, and descriptions of special stains. The scanning antenna transmits the read information to the central laundry plant's management system via wired or wireless communication. The management system compares the read information with the pre-stored laundry order for that store, confirming that the store origin, customer identity, and quantity of soiled laundry match the order. If the verification is correct, the process proceeds to the next step of the washing process; if the verification is incorrect, the management system issues an alarm, notifying staff to conduct manual verification and handling. The above verification steps can effectively prevent information confusion or loss of clothing during the circulation process, ensuring that each piece of clothing can be accurately traced back to its original store and customer.

[0036] The management system generates a corresponding number of care label printing tasks based on the number of garments identified from the soiled laundry information read from RFID tags. Specifically, the system encodes the identity information (such as mobile phone number, membership card number, garment type, and / or garment number) of each soiled garment into a care label code, establishing a one-to-one mapping between these care label codes and the RFID tag codes. This mapping is stored in the database of the central laundry plant's management system. The management system then sends the printing tasks to the care label printers connected to the system. The care label printer prints readable text or graphic identifiers containing customer identity information and / or garment information on the surface of blank care labels, while simultaneously writing an electronic code corresponding to the printed content into the RFID chip embedded in the care label. After printing, staff unpack the soiled laundry bags and attach each care label to the corresponding soiled garment, for example, by sewing, heat pressing, or clamping, to the collar, side seams, or other concealed locations that do not affect the appearance or wearability of the garment. Through the above operations, each garment obtains an independent and unique care label, which is directly linked to the original information entered into the store, providing an information basis for subsequent management of individual garments.

[0037] The central laundry facility sorts and washes soiled garments with fixed care labels. Sorting specifically involves grouping garments according to fabric type, color depth, and / or stain severity, grouping garments with similar or identical washing requirements together, and then washing them using appropriate washing programs and detergents. Sorting effectively avoids problems such as garment damage, color bleeding, or incomplete cleaning caused by improper washing conditions, improving washing quality and customer satisfaction. After washing, the garments are dried, with drying temperature and time adjusted adaptively according to the fabric type to prevent shrinkage, deformation, or damage caused by excessive heat.

[0038] After drying, the washed clothes undergo quality inspection. This inspection includes visual inspection, cleanliness inspection, and / or ironing smoothness inspection. Only clothes that pass the quality inspection can proceed to the next step of labeling and distribution; clothes that fail the quality inspection are returned for rewashing or rework until they pass the quality inspection.

[0039] After quality inspection, self-adhesive identification codes are affixed to the hangers of each garment. Because care labels may wear down, fade, or become damaged during washing, and because they are mostly made of fabric, making automated scanning at the store level inconvenient, they need to be replaced with a more suitable information carrier for store management after washing. The self-adhesive identification code has a readable graphic code printed on its surface. This graphic code is a QR code or barcode, and its content has a unique mapping relationship with the corresponding care label code. That is, each garment's self-adhesive identification code corresponds one-to-one with the care label code used during the washing stage, ensuring that information is not interrupted or confused during carrier switching. Simultaneously, the identification control system stores a correlation table between the self-adhesive identification code and the RFID tag code. This correlation table records the complete information mapping chain from the store's RFID tag to the central laundry factory's care label and then to the self-adhesive identification code.

[0040] After the label is affixed, staff use handheld or fixed barcode scanners to scan the self-adhesive identification code. The scanned code is then transmitted to the identification control system via wired or wireless network. Upon receiving the code, the control system performs a reverse lookup in the association table to retrieve all the identification and soiled clothing information associated with the garment, as bound in step S1. This completes the switch from the care label to the self-adhesive identification code. This carrier switching operation smoothly transitions the garment information from the care label carrier in the washing stage to the self-adhesive identification code carrier in the store management stage, ensuring the integrity and continuity of the information chain. Afterward, the washed clean garments and their corresponding self-adhesive identification code information are distributed to their respective stores via the distribution line, awaiting customer pickup.

[0041] S3, Clean Clothes Hanging: Clean clothes that have been washed at the central laundry plant and sent back to the store are hung one by one on the rotating hanger 2. The clothing information is identified by scanning the self-adhesive identification code on the hanger. The hanger detection device records the position information of each garment on the rotating hanger 2 and binds the position information with the corresponding clothing information and stores it in the identification control system.

[0042] Specifically, after receiving the clean clothes and corresponding self-adhesive identification code information from the central laundry factory, the store staff follow these steps to hang the clean clothes. First, each clean garment is removed from its packaging. Then, the clean clothes are hung one by one from the hanging points onto the available hanging positions on the rotating hanger 2. The rotating hanger 2 is a ring-shaped rotating hanger 2, including a rotating guide rail 21, a hanger 22 adapted to the rotating guide rail 21 and capable of moving along its set path, and a drive device for driving the hanger 22. Continuous hanging positions are arranged at regular intervals along the length of the rotating hanger 2. A hanger detection device is installed at each hanging point or hanging position. The hanger detection device can be any one of a photoelectric sensor, a micro-switch gravity sensor, or an electromagnetic induction sensor, used to detect whether there are clothes hanging on the corresponding hanging position. Preferably, the rotating clothes hanger 2 is a closed-loop conveyor line. The conveyor line has continuous grids arranged at certain intervals along its length. Each grid constitutes a hanging position. The No. 1 grid on the conveyor line has a positioning hole. The grids are arranged sequentially along the conveyor direction as No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... to facilitate unique identification and positioning of each hanging position.

[0043] For each garment hung up, staff use a handheld barcode scanner or a fixed scanner mounted on the rotating hanger 2 to scan the adhesive identification code affixed to the hanger, obtaining the garment's information and associated customer identity information. The handheld or fixed scanner transmits the scanned code to the identification control system, which retrieves all relevant information for that garment from a stored association table, including customer identity information, garment type, color, and / or special washing requirements. This scanning process eliminates the need for stores to re-enter garment information; the system retrieves complete information simply by scanning the adhesive code, significantly reducing staff workload and preventing errors that can occur with manual data entry.

[0044] After detecting that clothing has been hung in the corresponding hanging position, the hanger detection device generates a hanging signal for that position and sends it to the identification and control system. The hanging signal contains a unique location identifier for that hanging position. Taking a closed-loop conveyor line as an example, when clothing is hung in slot 5, the hanger detection device marks slot 5 as having a corresponding garment hung there and generates a hanging signal containing the location identifier "slot 5" and sends it to the identification and control system.

[0045] If a photoelectric sensor is used as the clothes hanger detection device, the specific principle is as follows: The photoelectric sensor is either a through-beam photoelectric sensor or a reflective photoelectric sensor. Taking a through-beam photoelectric sensor as an example, it includes a emitter and a receiver positioned opposite each other. The emitter continuously emits infrared or visible light beams, and the receiver receives the beams emitted by the emitter. When the hanging position is idle, the receiver can normally receive the beams emitted by the emitter and output a high-level signal. When clothing is hung in the hanging position, the clothing or hanger blocks the beam path between the emitter and the receiver, weakening or completely interrupting the intensity of the light signal received by the receiver. The phototransistor or photodiode inside the receiver converts the change in light signal into a change in electrical signal—specifically, the photodiode inside the receiver converts the received light signal into a photocurrent. The photocurrent is amplified by an amplifier in the signal processing circuit and then converted into a digital level signal by an analog-to-digital converter. When the beam is blocked, the photocurrent drops below a preset threshold, and the output level changes from high to low (or from low to high, depending on the circuit design). The level transition signal serves as the hanging signal and is transmitted via the signal line to the sensor signal acquisition module of the identification control system. The identification control system determines that there is clothing hanging in the hanging position based on the signal and generates a complete hanging signal record by combining it with the unique position identifier preset in the hanging position. When the hanger detection device detects that clothing has been hung in the corresponding hanging position, the sensor outputs a level transition signal or digital signal, which is transmitted via a signal line to the sensor signal acquisition module of the identification control system. The sensor signal acquisition module scans and acquires signals from each sensor in real time. When a change in the signal state of a sensor is detected, it reads the hanging position number corresponding to that sensor. This number is pre-configured and stored in the identification control system during system initialization. The hanging position number is combined with the detected event type to generate a formatted hanging signal. This hanging signal contains a unique location identifier for the hanging position, such as "grid number 5" or "hanging position number 005," as well as an event type identifier. After receiving the hanging signal, the identification control system binds it to the clothing information of the clean garment read by the barcode scanner, generating a complete hanging record and storing it in the storage module.

[0046] The identification and control system receives the hanging signal sent by the hanger detection device and binds the unique position identifier in the hanging signal with all the information of the previously retrieved clean garment to generate a hanging record for that garment. The hanging record includes at least customer identity information, garment information, a unique position identifier for the hanging position, and the hanging time. Through the above binding operation, each clean garment establishes a unique correspondence with its specific hanging position on the rotating hanger 2.

[0047] Repeat the hanging, scanning, and binding operations described above until all clean garments are hung. The identification and control system stores the hanging record of each clean garment in its storage module, forming a one-to-one correspondence between each customer's garment and its hanging position on the rotating hanger 2. Through these hanging records, the system can accurately know the specific position of each garment on the rotating hanger 2, providing an accurate location data foundation for subsequent automatic garment retrieval. At the same time, this recording method greatly simplifies the hanging operation for staff. Store employees only need to hang the clean garments one by one and scan the barcode; the system automatically completes the collection and binding of location information, eliminating the need for manual recording of grid numbers or additional manual registration.

[0048] S4, Clothes Retrieval: The customer's identity information is entered on the operation terminal 11 of the integrated door. The identification and control system retrieves the location information of all the corresponding clothes based on the customer's identity information and controls the drive device to drive the rotating clothes rack 2 to rotate. When the photoelectric detection device detects that the target clothes have rotated to the retrieval point of the retrieval arm 3, the retrieval arm 3 removes the clothes from the rotating clothes rack 2 and stores them temporarily. The above retrieval action is repeated until all the customer's clothes are retrieved. The retrieval opening of the integrated door is then opened to allow the customer to take the clothes and the retrieval completion information is automatically recorded.

[0049] Specifically, when customers arrive at the store to pick up their clothes, they should follow these steps: First, the customer enters their mobile phone number, membership card number, and / or scans a QR code generated by a client application, such as a WeChat official account or dedicated APP, on the integrated door's operating terminal 11. The operating terminal 11 then sends the entered identity information to the identification and control system. The client application and the identification and control system communicate via the internet or local area network. Customers can view the washing progress and store status in real time using their mobile devices. When picking up their clothes, they can quickly complete identity verification by scanning the QR code generated by the client application, eliminating the need for manual verification and improving efficiency and customer experience.

[0050] After receiving the customer's identity information, the identification and control system retrieves all the customer's washed and clean clothes and their corresponding adhesive identification codes from the system, forming a list of the customer's clothes to be picked up. If the customer currently has no clothes to pick up, for example, if the clothes have not yet been washed or have already been taken, the identification and control system displays a prompt message on the operation terminal 11, informing the customer that there are currently no clothes to pick up.

[0051] The identification and control system uses the self-adhesive identification code corresponding to each clean garment to match the hanging position of each garment on the current rotating hanger 2 from the stored hanging records of each garment, generating a garment retrieval task queue and the optimal rotation path of the rotating hanger 2. The optimal rotation path is the shortest rotation path that allows the target garments to pass through the retrieval point in sequence. Specifically, the identification and control system obtains the hanging positions of all the garments to be retrieved by the customer on the rotating hanger 2, such as the grid number of each garment, calculates the rotation direction and angle required for the rotating hanger 2 to rotate from the current position to each target hanging position, and determines the retrieval order of each target garment according to the principle of the shortest total rotation path. As a preferred solution, if the target garments are distributed in different areas of the rotating hanger 2, the identification and control system uses a dynamic programming algorithm or a greedy algorithm to calculate the optimal retrieval order, so that the drive device drives the rotating hanger 2 to deliver each target garment to the retrieval point in sequence according to the optimal rotation direction, with the shortest total rotation path, thereby reducing retrieval time and improving retrieval efficiency. If the distance between the hanging position of a target garment and the current retrieval point is N units clockwise and M units counterclockwise, then the rotation direction corresponding to min(N,M) is selected to minimize the path for each rotation. By calculating the optimal rotation path, invalid or repeated rotations of the rotating hanger 2 during garment retrieval can be avoided, significantly reducing customer waiting time. This is especially beneficial during peak hours when multiple customers are retrieving garments simultaneously, greatly improving retrieval efficiency.

[0052] The identification and control system sends a rotation command to the drive unit, which then drives the rotating clothes hanger 2 to rotate along the optimal rotation path, allowing the target clothing to pass through the retrieval point sequentially. A photoelectric detection device, located at the retrieval station of the rotating clothes hanger 2, sends a position signal to the identification and control system when it detects that the target clothing has rotated to the retrieval point with the rotating clothes hanger 2. The photoelectric detection device includes a transmitter and a receiver positioned opposite each other on either side of the retrieval station. The transmitter continuously emits a detection beam, such as infrared light or laser, and the receiver receives the detection beam emitted by the transmitter. When the clothes hanger 22 and the clothing on it rotate to the retrieval station with the rotating clothes hanger 2, the clothing or the clothes hanger 22 blocks the detection beam, causing a change in the light signal received by the receiver, thus generating a position signal and sending it to the identification and control system. The photoelectric detection device can accurately detect whether the target clothing has accurately reached the retrieval point, ensuring the accurate and reliable retrieval action of the retrieval arm 3.

[0053] After receiving the arrival signal, the identification control system sends a garment retrieval command to the retrieval arm 3. Upon receiving the command, the retrieval arm 3 lifts the hanger 22 of the target garment upwards via the retrieval mechanism, removes the target garment from the rotating hanger 2, and temporarily stores the removed garment in the storage rod 4. The specific structure and operation of the retrieval arm 3 are as follows: The retrieval arm 3 includes a mounting frame 31 fixed to the rotating hanger 2, a sprocket assembly arranged along the length of the mounting frame 31, a conveyor rail 33 for receiving the lifted hanger and completing the transport, and a storage rod 4 located at the end of the conveyor rail 33 for hanger buffering. The sprocket assembly includes a guide group 32, which is a connector with conveyor sprockets 36 mounted at both ends, used to plan the movement path of the welding chain 35; rotates the conveyor sprockets 36 located at both ends of the guide group 32; a motor group 34 for driving the conveyor sprockets 36 to rotate; and a welding chain 35 for driving the two conveyor sprockets 36, which is in contact with the conveyor rail 33. The retrieval mechanism includes a mounting plate 26 on the rotating hanger 2, a cylinder 27 vertically rotating on the mounting plate 26, an eccentric wheel 28 rotating on the mounting plate 26, and a slanted guide bar 29 extending from the eccentric wheel 28 to the outside of the hanger 22. When the target garment reaches the retrieval point, the cylinder 27 actuates, pushing the eccentric wheel 28 to rotate. The eccentric wheel 28 drives the slanted guide bar 29 to swing, lifting the hanger hanging on the hanging position upwards, causing the hanger to detach from the hanging position and enter the conveyor rail 33 of the retrieval arm 3. Then, the sprocket assembly actuates, and the welded chain 35 drives the hanger to move along the conveyor rail 33 through friction, conveying the hanger and the garment on it to the temporary storage bar 4 at the end of the conveyor rail 33 for temporary storage. After the retrieval arm 3 completes the retrieval action, it returns to the standby position, ready for the next retrieval action.

[0054] After the identification and control system confirms that the current target garment has been removed, it continues to send rotation commands to the drive device, driving the rotating hanger 2 to continue rotating, so that the next target garment reaches the retrieval point, and repeats the above garment retrieval action until all of the customer's garments have been removed and temporarily stored in the temporary storage area. During the cyclical garment retrieval process, the identification and control system updates the list of garments to be retrieved in real time, and removed garments are removed from the list to ensure that the same garment is not retrieved repeatedly.

[0055] Once the identification and control system confirms that all of the customer's clothing has been retrieved, it sends an opening command to the retrieval opening of the integrated door. The door 1 of the retrieval opening automatically opens, and a retrieval notification is displayed on the integrated door's operating terminal 11 and / or the client application, informing the customer that all clothing has been retrieved and can be taken from the retrieval opening. By pushing retrieval notifications through the client application, even if the customer is not looking at the screen of the operating terminal 11 while waiting, they can still receive timely notification of the retrieval completion via their mobile phone, improving the customer experience.

[0056] Sensors, such as infrared sensors, installed at the garment pickup point detect when clothing is taken. The identification and control system then records the time the customer completes the pickup, links this information to the customer's identity information, and removes the garment from the waiting list. Through this automatic recording, the system can accurately track the entire flow of each garment: from input to washing, washing, quality inspection, allocation, hanging, retrieval, and removal, achieving full-process information-based and traceable management. Furthermore, the pickup point automatically closes after pickup, eliminating the need for manual operation by customers or staff, thus improving the store's automation and security.

[0057] As a preferred option, if the photoelectric detection device for a target garment fails to detect its position within a predetermined time during the garment retrieval process, for example due to a misalignment of the garment's hanging position or an error in the calculation of the rotation path, the identification and control system will issue an alarm to notify store staff for manual intervention and handling, ensuring the reliability of the garment retrieval process.

[0058] Preferably, the storage rod 4 is equipped with a clothing detection sensor, such as a gravity sensor or a photoelectric sensor, to detect whether there are clothes temporarily stored on the storage rod 4 and the quantity of clothes stored there. When the clothes on the storage rod 4 are taken by the customer, the clothing detection sensor detects that the clothes have been taken and sends a confirmation signal to the identification control system so that the system can accurately record the clothing retrieval completion status.

[0059] Example 2, as Figures 1-9 As shown, A smart management system for laundry stores includes an integrated door, a rotating clothes rack 2, and a clothes removal arm 3.

[0060] The integrated door includes a door body 1 and an operating terminal 11 and a laundry inlet 12 mounted on the door body 1. The operating terminal 11, which includes a touchscreen display, keyboard, and / or barcode scanner, is used for customers to input their identity and soiled laundry information. The laundry inlet 12, located on one side of the door body 1, is for customers to insert a soiled laundry bag. An RFID scanning antenna is installed at the laundry inlet 12 to automatically scan the RFID tag on the soiled laundry bag as it passes through, enabling automatic information input and binding. The integrated door also includes a retrieval slot, located on the other side of the door body 1, independent of the laundry inlet 12. The retrieval slot is equipped with an automatically opening and closing door body 1 and a sensor to detect whether clothing has been removed. By separating the laundry inlet 12 and the retrieval slot, cross-interference between laundry insertion and retrieval is avoided, improving customer convenience and store operational efficiency.

[0061] The rotating clothes hanger 2 includes a rotating guide rail 21, a clothes hanger 22 adapted to the rotating guide rail 21 and capable of moving along its set path, a guide assembly 32 for supporting and enabling the clothes hanger 22 to move along the rotating guide rail 21, and a drive device for driving the movement of the clothes hanger 22. The clothes hanger 22 has hanging positions for hanging clothes. The guide assembly 32 includes guide wheels 24 and support wheels 25 located on both sides of the top of the clothes hanger 22 and rotatably connected to them. The guide wheels 24 roll along the rotating guide rail 21, providing guidance for the movement of the clothes hanger 22; the support wheels 25 bear the weight of the clothes hanger 22 and the clothes hanging on it, transferring the weight to the guide rail or support structure to ensure the stability and smoothness of the clothes hanger 22 during movement. Preferably, the rotating guide rail 21 is a closed annular guide rail, and the drive device is a motor-driven chain drive mechanism or belt drive mechanism, driving the clothes hanger 22 to move continuously along the annular guide rail. The rotating clothes hanger 2 also has a retrieval mechanism for assisting in the operation of the arm 3. The retrieval mechanism includes a mounting plate 26 on the rotating hanger 2, a cylinder 27 vertically rotating on the mounting plate 26, an eccentric wheel 28 rotating on the mounting plate 26, and a diagonal guide bar 29 extending from the eccentric wheel 28 to the outside of the hanger 22. One end of the cylinder 27 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 26, and the output shaft of the cylinder 27 is rotatably connected to one end of the eccentric wheel 28. Through the extension and retraction of the cylinder 27, the eccentric wheel 28 is driven to swing around its center of rotation. The eccentric wheel 28 drives the diagonal guide bar 29 to swing, extending the diagonal guide bar 29 to the outside of the hanger 22, lifting the hanger from the hanging position so that the arm 3 can remove the hanger and the clothes on it. This retrieval mechanism achieves automatic lifting of the hanger without manual intervention, improving the automation and efficiency of clothing retrieval. Preferably, the upper surface of the inclined guide bar 29 is inclined or curved, which facilitates the smooth lifting of the hanger during swinging, reducing impact and wear on the hanger.

[0062] The take-out arm 3 includes a mounting frame 31 fixed to the rotating hanger 2, a sprocket assembly arranged along the length of the mounting frame 31, a conveyor rail 33 for receiving and transporting the lifted hangers, and a temporary storage rod 4 located at the end of the conveyor rail 33 for buffering the hangers. The mounting frame 31 is fixedly mounted on the frame of the rotating hanger 2, providing a mounting base and support for the entire take-out arm 3. The sprocket assembly includes a guide group 32, conveyor sprockets 36 rotatably located at both ends of the guide group 32, a motor group 34 for driving the conveyor sprockets 36 to rotate, and a welded chain 35 for driving the two conveyor sprockets 36. The guide group 32 is a connector with conveyor sprockets 36 mounted at both ends, used to plan the movement path of the welded chain 35. The welded chain 35 fits against the conveyor rail 33. The conveyor rail 33 is arranged along the length of the mounting frame 31, used to guide and support the movement of the hangers. The temporary storage rod 4 is located at the end of the conveyor rail 33, used to temporarily hang the clothing removed from the rotating hanger 2. The temporary storage rod 4 extends horizontally, with a limiting structure at its end to prevent hangers from slipping. When the removal arm 3 transports the hangers along the conveyor rail 33 to the temporary storage rod 4, the hangers are suspended on the rod 4, and multiple garments can be temporarily stored on the rod 4 in sequence. The number of temporary storage rods 4 can be set to one or more as needed. Preferably, the temporary storage rod 4 is inclined, with its tail end higher than the end near the conveyor rail 33, allowing the hangers to slide towards the end near the conveyor rail 33 under gravity, facilitating neat arrangement of the hangers on the rod 4 and preventing them from tangling. Through the above structural design of the removal arm 3, automatic lifting, automatic conveying, and automatic temporary storage of hangers are achieved, without manual intervention throughout the process, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of garment retrieval.

[0063] The identification control system mainly includes: industrial control computer, programmable logic controller (PLC), RFID reader / writer, barcode scanner signal receiving module, sensor signal acquisition module, storage module, communication module, and display driver module.

[0064] The industrial control computer, as the core computing unit of the identification and control system, runs the store's intelligent management software and is responsible for data storage, retrieval, logical operations, and task scheduling. The PLC, as the execution control unit, is electrically connected to each actuator through digital input / output and analog input / output interfaces, receiving control commands from the industrial control computer and sending control signals to the drive unit, the cylinder 27 and motor assembly 34 of the take-up arm 3, and the door drive motor of the integrated door, among other actuators. The RFID reader is electrically connected to the RFID scanning antenna at the input port 12 via an RF feeder, used to activate and read RFID tag information on the soiled linen bags. The barcode scanner signal receiving module... The system connects to a handheld barcode scanner or fixed barcode scanner via wired or wireless communication to receive scanning information from self-adhesive identification codes. The sensor signal acquisition module is electrically connected to various sensors, such as hanger detection devices, through-beam detection devices, and garment dispensing sensors, via signal lines to collect detection signals from each sensor in real time. The storage module stores customer identity information, soiled clothing information, RFID tag encoding information, care label encoding information, self-adhesive identification code encoding information, attachment records, and a table showing the relationships between various information carriers. The communication module communicates with the central laundry plant's management system, client application server, and various terminal devices within the store via the internet or local area network.

[0065] The identification and control system achieves fully automated data acquisition, processing, and control of the entire process from soiled laundry to clean laundry retrieval through the coordinated operation of the aforementioned modules.

[0066] The aforementioned intelligent management system for laundry stores works in conjunction with the intelligent management method for laundry stores in Example 1 to achieve intelligent management of the entire process from soiled laundry to clean laundry retrieval. All components of the system are uniformly scheduled and managed through an identification and control system, forming a complete closed-loop management chain. This effectively improves the operational efficiency of laundry stores, reduces labor costs, and enhances the customer experience.
