[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The utility model proposes a self-service billiard intelligent cabinet, including a cabinet body 1 and a detection mechanism 8. A rod storage bin 2 and a ball storage bin 3 are arranged inside the cabinet body 1, and both are hinged with a bin door 4. The inner walls of the rod storage bin 2 and the ball storage bin 3 are provided with an electric control lock 5 corresponding to the bin door 4. A circuit board 6 is also arranged in the cabinet body 1. The electric control lock 5 is electrically connected to the circuit board 6. The circuit board 6 is integrated with at least a power supply unit, a timing unit, a wireless communication unit and a control unit; the detection mechanism 8 includes a first detection device 81 and a second detection device 82. The first detection device 81 is arranged at the bottom of the rod storage bin 2, and the second detection device 82 is arranged at the bottom of the ball storage bin 3. The first detection device 81 and the second detection device 82 are both electrically connected to the circuit board 6.

[0025] It can be understood that the rod storage bin 2 and the ball storage bin 3 are used to store billiard balls and cues, respectively. In this example, there are two rod storage bins 2 and two ball storage bins 3, which can store two sets of cues and billiard balls. Furthermore, more rod storage bins 2 and ball storage bins 3 can be set in the cabinet 1 to manage more cues and billiard balls; the bin doors 4 of the rod storage bin 2 and the ball storage bin 3 are controlled to open and close by the electric lock 5, which can protect the cues and billiard balls from being taken out and used at will. The circuit board 6 is arranged inside the cabinet 1, which can be in the ball storage bin 3 or the rod storage bin 2, or a separate space is opened for placement. The power supply unit on the circuit board 6 can supply power to other units and the electric lock 5. The timing unit is used to calculate the usage time of the cues and billiard balls for charging. The wireless communication unit is used to communicate with the customer's terminal such as a mobile phone, a smart bracelet, etc., to receive an unlocking signal or send a deduction information, etc. The control unit controls the operation of all other units.

[0026] The first detection device 81 and the second detection device 82 are respectively arranged at the bottom of the cue storage bin 2 and the ball storage bin 3. They can be weighing sensors, infrared sensors, magnetic induction sensors, etc., which can detect the removal, placement, quantity and other information of cue sticks and billiard balls, so as to supervise the cue sticks and billiard balls and prevent users from returning cue sticks and billiard balls in quantities that do not match when they took them away.

[0027] The user first sends an unlocking command to the wireless communication unit through a terminal (mobile phone, smart watch, etc.) by scanning a code, logging into a small program, etc. The control unit controls the electric lock 5 to open, and the user takes out the cue and billiard balls. The detection mechanism 8 sends a signal to the control unit when it detects that the cue and billiard balls are taken away, and controls the timing unit to start timing. When the user returns them, the detection mechanism 8 sends a signal to the control unit again, controls the timing unit to stop timing and calculate the required fee, and the wireless communication unit sends the deduction information to the user's terminal. This scheme charges by the usage time of the cue and billiard balls. Compared with the traditional method of charging by the length of time the lights are turned on, it can effectively prevent methods of evading deductions such as "smearing and playing ball"; and the detection mechanism 8 can detect the number of cue and billiard balls taken out and put back, thereby avoiding property loss.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present application, a base 21 is provided at the bottom of the rod storage bin 2 , a plurality of placement holes 22 are opened on the base 21 , and the first detection device 81 is arranged in the placement hole 22 .

[0029] It can be understood that the placement hole 22 is used to place the golf club. You only need to insert the bottom of the golf club into it. One hole can be used to place one golf club. A first detection device 81 is provided in each hole. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the removal or return of a golf club can be accurately detected, and the number of golf clubs can be accurately controlled to avoid the situation where the number of golf clubs returned does not match that of the borrowed clubs.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present application, a limit seat 23 is further provided in the rod storage bin 2. The limit seat 23 is parallel to the base 21 and spaced apart from the base 21. A plurality of limit grooves 24 are provided on the limit seat 23 corresponding to the plurality of placement holes 22.

[0031] It is understandable that due to the long length of the golf club, it cannot be effectively fixed by the placement hole 22 alone, so a limit seat 23 is set in the club storage bin 2, and a limit groove 24 corresponding to the placement hole 22 is set on the limit seat 23. Through the cooperation of the placement hole 22 and the limit groove 24, the golf club can be fixed more firmly.

[0032] Furthermore, a detection device such as an infrared sensor may be provided on the limiting seat 23 corresponding to each limiting groove 24 to detect the integrity of the golf club and prevent the user from returning a damaged or broken golf club.

[0033] Reference Figures 2 to 3 In one embodiment of the present application, a mounting cavity 31 is provided at the bottom of the ball storage bin 3 , a protective cover 32 is provided on the mounting cavity 31 , and the second detection device 82 is disposed in the mounting cavity 31 .

[0034] It can be understood that the second detection device 82 is arranged in the installation cavity 31 to avoid being exposed to the outside and damaged by the collision of the billiard ball. The shape of the protective cover 32 corresponds to the edge of the installation cavity 31, and the two can fit completely. Optionally, the protective cover 32 and the installation cavity 31 can be fixed together by means of snap connection, threaded connection, interference fit, etc., which are not limited here. The setting of the protective cover 32 can protect the second detection device 82 on the one hand, and it is also convenient to open for inspection on the other hand.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present application, a control room 7 is further provided inside the cabinet 1 , and the circuit board 6 is arranged in the control room 7 .

[0036] It can be understood that the setting of the control room 7 provides sufficient installation space for the circuit board 6 and the complex wiring on the circuit board 6, effectively protects the circuit board 6 and the wiring on the circuit board 6 from external interference, and also facilitates the staff to perform inspection, maintenance and other operations.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present application, the first detection device 81 is a magnetic induction sensor, and the second detection device 82 is a weighing sensor.

[0038] It can be understood that the magnetic induction sensor has the advantages of high precision, long life, simple working principle, relatively stable structure, and fast response speed. Since billiard balls are prone to rolling, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to use a weighing sensor as the second detection device 82. No matter how the billiard balls roll, the specific number of billiard balls can be calculated by detecting the overall weight.

[0039] The technical solution of the utility model is to set an electric lock 5 and a detection mechanism 8 connected to the circuit board 6 in the cabinet 1. The user needs to use the terminal to open the electric lock 5 to take out the cue and billiard balls, and the device will start timing when the detection mechanism 8 detects that the cue and billiard balls are taken away. When the user returns the cue and billiard balls, the device stops timing and calculates the usage time and charges. Compared with the traditional method of charging by the length of time the lights are turned on, this solution can effectively prevent methods of evading deductions such as "smearing and playing ball"; and the detection mechanism 8 can detect the number of cue and billiard balls taken out and put back, thereby avoiding property loss.

[0040] The same or similar numbers in the drawings of this embodiment correspond to the same or similar parts; in the description of this application, it should be understood that if the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. indicate an orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, it is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms describing the position relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as a limitation on this patent. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.
