Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of storage cabinets, and more specifically, to the technical field of photoelectric induction storage cabinets. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, smart home products have gradually entered our lives, bringing many conveniences to people. Among many smart home products, infrared sensing lockers have become the mainstream choice for homes, offices and other places due to their unique advantages. For example, patent number CN 215076710 U discloses a storage cabinet and its storage system, which includes a cabinet body, a control device, multiple infrared transceiver devices, etc. The infrared transceiver device is used to determine whether there are items stored in the locker, and the signal is fed back to the control device to achieve intelligent identification. Its main working principle is: when there are no items in the locker, the infrared signal emitted by the transmitting device can be successfully received by the receiving device; if there are items stored in the locker, the transmission of the infrared signal will be blocked, and the infrared signal received by the receiving device will be weakened or not received, thereby achieving intelligent identification.

[0003] However, the objects stored in the locker are of different sizes and shapes, and the placement of objects by users is also random and not fixed, so it is impossible to guarantee that each stored object can successfully block the receiving route of the infrared signal. In addition, the stored objects themselves can also reflect infrared signals, and it is easy for the infrared signal to be accidentally received by the receiver after being reflected by the stored objects. The above situations will cause the locker to make an incorrect judgment, thereby affecting the accuracy of the locker's judgment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an infrared induction type intelligent cabinet to improve the accuracy of intelligent identification.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] An infrared sensing smart cabinet comprises a plurality of storage compartments and a control device, each of the storage compartments is provided with an infrared transceiver electrically connected to the control device, the infrared transceiver comprises an infrared emitting device and an infrared receiving device, and is characterized in that the storage compartments comprise a cabinet body, a storage inner shell and an elastic component, the storage inner shell comprises a shell and a through hole, the infrared emitting device and the infrared receiving device are respectively located on both sides of the shell, and infrared signals are transmitted through the through hole; the storage inner shell is movably connected to the cabinet body in a vertical direction through the elastic component, thereby realizing the interruption of infrared signal transmission.

[0007] When there is no item stored in the storage inner shell, the infrared transceiver matches the height position of the through hole, so that the infrared signal can be smoothly transmitted through the through hole. At this time, the infrared receiving device successfully receives the infrared signal and then feeds it back to the control device, and the control device determines that there is no item stored in the storage inner shell. When the user puts the item into the storage inner shell, the elastic component is deformed by gravity, thereby driving the storage inner shell to move in the vertical direction. At this time, the height position of the through hole changes, which does not match the height of the infrared transceiver, and the infrared signal is blocked by the shell and cannot be smoothly transmitted. After the infrared receiving device fails to receive the infrared signal, it feeds back to the control device, and the control device determines that there is an item stored in the storage inner shell. The elastic component can be selected from the metal spring in the prior art, which has a good deformation effect and a long service life, can sensitively sense the weight of the item and deform to change the height position of the through hole. When the item is taken out, it can also accurately return to the initial position, so that the infrared signal can be smoothly transmitted.

[0008] This infrared sensing storage cabinet can accurately determine whether there are items stored in the storage compartment. Even if the items are of different sizes and shapes, or are placed in random and irregular positions, the smart cabinet can still effectively identify them, solving the problem that traditional smart cabinets cannot accurately store items due to these factors, and improving the accuracy of smart identification.

[0009] An infrared sensing smart cabinet comprises a plurality of storage compartments and a control device, each of the storage compartments is provided with an infrared transceiver electrically connected to the control device, the infrared transceiver comprises an infrared emitting device and an infrared receiving device, and is characterized in that the storage compartment comprises a cabinet body, a storage inner shell and an elastic component, the infrared emitting device and the infrared receiving device are located on the same side of the storage inner shell and are connected to the cabinet body, the storage inner shell is provided with a reflection layer with different reflection coefficients in the height direction, the storage inner shell is movably connected to the cabinet body in the vertical direction through the elastic component, thereby changing the strength of the infrared signal received by the infrared receiving device.

[0010] A mirror reflector may be provided on the storage inner shell. When no items are stored in the storage inner shell, the height of the mirror reflector is higher than the infrared transceiver, so that the infrared signal is reflected by the storage inner shell itself and received by the infrared receiving device. When items are stored in the storage inner shell, the elastic component is deformed under the influence of gravity, thereby driving the storage inner shell to move in the vertical direction. At the same time, the height of the reflector is just matched with the infrared transceiver, and the infrared signal is received by the infrared receiving device after being reflected by the reflector. The intensity of the infrared signal reflected by the reflector is higher than the intensity of the infrared signal reflected by the storage inner shell. Based on the strength of the infrared signal, it can be judged whether there are items stored in the storage shell. In addition to the mirror reflector provided on the storage inner shell, materials with different refractive indices or different thicknesses can be reversely coated on the storage inner shell at a height, so that the reflectivity of the infrared signal at different heights is different, and based on the strength of the infrared signal received by the infrared receiving device, it can be judged whether there are items stored in the storage shell.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the elastic component is located below the storage inner shell.

[0012] The elastic component can be a spring bar in the prior art, which is located below the storage inner shell to provide support force, and has higher stability and reliability compared to being located above the storage inner shell to provide tension. Because the direction of force is less likely to change when squeezing the spring than when stretching it, and it can withstand a higher load-bearing capacity, and it can also avoid permanent deformation or damage of the spring due to excessive stretching, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the elastic component includes an adjusting member, an adjusting plate and an elastic member connected in sequence from top to bottom, the adjusting member includes an adjusting spring and an adjusting bolt, the head of the adjusting bolt is connected to the storage inner shell, and the tail of the adjusting bolt is inserted into the adjusting plate, and the deformation force of the adjusting spring can be changed by rotating the adjusting bolt to adjust the height position of the storage inner shell.

[0014] One end of the adjustment spring is connected to the adjustment bolt, and the other end is connected to the adjustment plate. When the height position of the storage inner shell needs to be adjusted, the adjustment bolt can be rotated to move up and down. At this time, the length of the adjustment spring increases or decreases with the adjustment bolt, so that the height position of the storage inner shell can be adjusted. Through the cooperation of the adjustment member and the adjustment plate, the user can easily fine-tune the storage inner shell, which improves the convenience and accuracy of the adjustment. In addition, during the fine-tuning process of the user, the adjustment spring can play a buffering role to avoid damage to the device due to excessive force, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the device.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of elastic members are symmetrically arranged.

[0016] This design can improve the balance of the elastic component, prevent the inner housing from tilting and affecting the normal operation of the device, and improve the reliability of the device.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the through hole and the top of the storage inner shell is greater than the length of the elastic member.

[0018] The through hole is located at a lower position to ensure that the distance between the through hole and the top of the storage inner shell is greater than the length of the elastic member. When items are stored, this design can ensure that the emitted infrared signal will be blocked by the storage inner shell, avoiding erroneous judgment and improving the accuracy of the device judgment.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an external baffle is provided in the storage compartment to prevent a user from directly contacting the elastic component and the infrared transceiver.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, each of the storage compartments is provided with an indicator light, the indicator light is connected to the control device, the infrared receiving device at the corresponding position sends a feedback signal to the control device, and the control device controls the switch of the corresponding indicator light based on the feedback signal.

[0021] The infrared receiving device feeds back information on whether an infrared signal is received to the control device, and the control device determines whether there are items stored in the storage inner shell based on the feedback signal sent by the infrared receiving device, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the indicator light at the corresponding position. The user can clearly understand whether there are items stored in the storage compartment at the corresponding position through the switch status of the external indicator light. This design improves the convenience of use of the device.

[0022] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. This infrared sensing storage cabinet can accurately determine whether there are items stored in the storage compartment. Even if the items are of different sizes and shapes, or are placed in random and irregular positions, the smart cabinet can still effectively identify them, solving the problem that traditional smart cabinets cannot store accurately due to these factors, and improving the accuracy of intelligent identification.

[0024] 2. Through the cooperation of the adjustment member and the adjustment plate, the user can easily fine-tune the storage inner shell, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of the adjustment.

[0025] 3. The through hole is located at a lower position. When items are stored, this design can ensure that the emitted infrared signal will be blocked by the shell, avoiding erroneous judgment and improving the accuracy of the device's judgment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, when there is no item stored in the storage inner shell 12, the infrared transceiver 3 matches the height position of the through hole, so that the infrared signal can be smoothly transmitted through the through hole. At this time, the infrared receiving device 32 successfully receives the infrared signal and then feeds it back to the control device 2. The control device 2 determines that there is no item stored in the storage inner shell 12, and controls the indicator light 4 to turn on. The user puts the item into the storage inner shell 12. At this time, the elastic component 13 is deformed by gravity, thereby driving the storage inner shell 12 to move in the vertical direction. At this time, the height position of the through hole changes, which does not match the height of the infrared transceiver 3. The infrared signal is blocked by the shell and cannot be smoothly transmitted. The infrared receiving device 32 cannot receive the infrared signal and then feeds it back to the control device 2. The control device 2 determines that there are items stored in the storage inner shell 12, and controls the indicator light 4 to turn on. The opening direction of the storage inner shell 12 can be vertically upward or facing the user direction, which can be adjusted according to the actual usage scenario. The elastic component 13 can be a metal spring in the prior art, which has a good deformation effect and a long service life. It can sensitively sense the weight of the object and deform to change the height position of the through hole. When the object is taken out, it can also accurately return to the initial position, so that the infrared signal can be transmitted smoothly. An external baffle (not shown in the figure) is provided in the storage compartment 1 to prevent the user from directly contacting the elastic component 13 and the infrared transceiver 3.

[0036] This infrared sensing storage cabinet can accurately determine whether there are items stored in the storage compartment. Even if the items are of different sizes and shapes, or are placed in random and irregular positions, the smart cabinet can still effectively identify them, solving the problem that traditional smart cabinets cannot accurately store items due to these factors, and improving the accuracy of smart identification.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] like Figure 3 , 4As shown, the difference from the first embodiment is that the infrared transmitting device 31 and the infrared receiving device 32 are located on the same side of the storage inner shell 12. The storage inner shell 12 does not have a through hole, but a reflective layer 5 is provided on the same side direction of the infrared transceiver 3. The reflective layer 5 can be a mirror reflector. When there is no object stored in the storage inner shell 12, the height of the mirror reflector is higher than the infrared transceiver 3, so that the infrared signal is reflected by the storage inner shell 12 itself and received by the infrared receiving device 32. When the storage inner shell 12 stores objects, the elastic component 13 is deformed by gravity, thereby driving the storage inner shell 12 to move in the vertical direction. At the same time, the height of the reflector is just matched with the infrared transceiver 3, and the infrared signal is received by the infrared receiving device 32 after being reflected by the reflector. The intensity of the infrared signal reflected by the reflector is higher than the intensity of the infrared signal reflected by the storage inner shell 12. Based on the strength of the infrared signal, it can be judged whether there are objects stored in the storage shell. In addition to providing a mirror reflector on the storage inner shell 12, the storage inner shell 12 may also be reversely coated with materials of different refractive indices or different thicknesses at different heights, so that the reflectivity of the infrared signal is different at different heights. Based on the strength of the infrared signal received by the infrared receiving device 32, it can be determined whether there are items stored in the storage shell.

[0039] Embodiment 3

[0040] As another embodiment of the present invention, based on the first and second embodiments, the elastic component 13 specifically includes an adjustment member 131, an adjustment plate 132 and an elastic member 133 which are sequentially connected from top to bottom. Figure 5As shown, the adjusting member 131 includes an adjusting spring 1311 and an adjusting bolt 1312. The head of the adjusting bolt 1312 is connected to the storage inner shell 12, and the tail of the adjusting bolt 1312 is inserted into the adjusting plate 132. One end of the adjusting spring 1311 is connected to the adjusting bolt 1312, and the other end is connected to the adjusting plate 132. The head of the adjusting bolt 1312 is designed to be rotatable, usually a screw head with a threaded connection. The end connected to the storage inner shell 12 can be rotated to control the compression degree of the adjusting spring 1311, thereby adjusting the height of the storage inner shell 12. When adjusting, the user can hold the head of the adjusting bolt 1312 and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise. With each rotation, the adjusting bolt 1312 will rise or fall a thread distance, so that the adjusting spring 1311 is compressed or stretched, and the height of the storage inner shell 12 is adjusted. Through the cooperation of the adjustment member 131 and the adjustment plate 132, the user can easily fine-tune the storage inner shell 12, which improves the convenience and accuracy of the adjustment. In addition, during the fine-tuning process, the adjustment spring 1311 can play a buffering role to avoid excessive force from damaging the device, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the device. The elastic member 133 can be symmetrically arranged in multiple pieces, which can improve the balance of the elastic component 13, prevent the storage inner shell 12 from tilting and affecting the normal operation of the device, and improve the reliability of the device.

[0041] As another embodiment of the present invention, the through hole is located at a lower position to ensure that the distance between the through hole and the top of the storage inner shell 12 is greater than the length of the elastic component 13. When items are stored, this design can ensure that the emitted infrared signal will be blocked by the shell, avoiding erroneous judgment and improving the accuracy of the device judgment.

[0042] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
