A plurality of jacks are equidistantly arranged on the first disc, and a protective layer is provided on the jacks. A groove is formed on the first disc and an ashtray is placed on the groove. Hooks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the first disc, and a fixed block is connected to the bottom of the first disc. A threaded groove is connected to the lower end of the fixed block, a threaded block is connected to the bottom of the threaded groove, one end of the threaded block is connected to a telescopic rod, one end of the telescopic rod is connected to a support rod, two connecting frames are equidistantly arranged on the support rod, a support hook is arranged on the connecting frame, and a storage bag is arranged on the support hook. By providing a protective layer, it is beneficial to protect the billiard cue and thus extend the service life of the billiard cue. By providing a threaded groove and a threaded block, it is convenient to assemble and disassemble. By providing a telescopic rod and universal wheels, the height can be adjusted and it can be moved for use, but it does not have a locking function and can be freely taken. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the utility model proposes a billiard cue storage and retrieval device, which solves the technical problem that the existing billiard cue storage and retrieval device does not have a locking function and is not suitable for self-service billiard rooms.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A billiard cue storage device, comprising an upper cue rack and a lower cue rack. At least one first slot is provided on the upper cue rack, a rotating member rotatably disposed in the first slot, and at least one automatic lock for locking the rotating member. At least one second slot is provided on the lower cue rack. A billiard cue can pass through the first slot and the second slot. A lock groove is provided on the rotating member, and the lock tongue of the automatic lock can be inserted into the lock groove to fix the rotating member. The automatic lock is connected to a control module, and the control module is connected to a communication module. The communication module is used to receive information from a terminal and transmit the information to the control module, so that the control module controls the automatic lock to unlock. An RFID module is provided on each billiard cue. At least one reader is provided on the lower cue rack, and the reader is connected to the communication module. The reader is used to read the information in the RFID module and transmit the information to the communication module, and the communication module then transmits the information to the terminal.

[0007] Furthermore:

[0008] The upper cue rack is in a C-shaped or square-shaped structure. A plurality of corresponding first slots are provided at the upper and lower ends of the upper cue rack, and the rotating member is disposed in the first slot at the upper end.

[0009] The lower cue rack is in a C-shaped or square-shaped structure, and the second slot is provided at the top of the lower cue rack.

[0010] A limiting block is provided on the first slot. When the rotating member abuts against the limiting block, the lock tongue of the automatic lock can be inserted into the lock groove.

[0011] The rotating member includes a rotating clamping member rotatably disposed on the upper cue rack and a cover plate connected to the rotating clamping member. A clamping groove is provided on the cover plate, and the rotating clamping member is clamped in the clamping groove and drives the cover plate to rotate.

[0012] A plurality of through holes are provided on the upper cue rack and the lower cue rack. The upper cue rack and the lower cue rack are fixed to the wall surface by a locking member, and the locking member passes through the through holes.

[0013] The number of the second slots on the lower cue rack is eight.

[0014] The rotating member and the automatic lock are also provided at the lower cue rack. A rotating member is provided at the second slot on the lower cue rack, and at least one automatic lock for locking the rotating member is provided on the lower cue rack.

[0015] By adopting the foregoing technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0016] The utility model is applicable to an unmanned self-service billiard room. By scanning the code at the terminal, the automatic lock will automatically open, and then the cue can be taken out. After use, click "return" at the terminal, one of the automatic locks will open, and the cue can be put in. The reader recognizes the RFID module information on the cue and transmits the information to the terminal through the communication module, then the return is successful, and the deposit is refunded to the user. It is convenient to use. The utility model can increase the security of the cue through the automatic lock. The automatic lock can only be opened after paying the deposit at the terminal, and the deposit can only be refunded after returning the cue. This can prevent the loss of cues, and there is no need for staff to organize the cues, and it can also prevent one person from taking a pile of cues, ensuring the circulation of cues; further, the structures of the upper cue rack and the lower cue rack can prevent users from directly taking out the cue by bypassing the rotating part. The first slots are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the upper cue rack, and the second slots are arranged at the top of the cue rack. With this structure, when the rotating part is locked, users are prevented from taking out the cue, and the cue can only be taken out after the automatic lock is unlocked; further, when the rotating part abuts against the limit block, it can no longer rotate, so that the lock tongue of the automatic lock can be inserted into the lock slot; further, the upper cue rack and the lower cue rack are separated, and the height and distance can be adjusted arbitrarily before installation, which can be applicable to different types of cues.
