[0022] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model. Moreover, the features in the embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0023] As Figures 1-7 shown, the present utility model provides a multifunctional box, which includes a box body 1, a placement area provided on the box body 1, and a code-scanning shopping area provided on the box body; the code-scanning shopping area includes one or more code-scanning pop-up groups 3; the code-scanning pop-up group 3 includes a pop-up accommodation grid 31 provided in the code-scanning shopping area, a pop-up grid 32 that can be popped up and provided in the pop-up accommodation grid 31, and a pop-up locking component provided in the box body 1 for popping up or locking the pop-up grid 32; the pop-up locking component includes a processor, a locking member 33 connected to the pop-up grid 32 and provided with a locking groove 331, a plug-in member 34 that is inserted into and cooperates with the locking groove 331 of the locking member 33 to lock the locking member 33, a first elastic member 35 connected to one end of the locking member 33 away from the pop-up grid 32, a driving member connected to the plug-in member 34 to drive the plug-in member 34 to move in a direction towards or away from the locking groove 331, and a second elastic member 37 connected to one end of the plug-in member 34 away from the locking groove 331.
[0024] In this embodiment, by setting the code-scanning shopping area, the hotel can place charged products in the pop-up grid 32. Only when the customer scans the code for consumption, the processor will send an instruction to the driving member, and the driving member controls the plug-in member 34 to move away from the locking groove 331 and leave the locking groove 331, releasing the locking of the locking member 33. At this time, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 35, the pop-up grid 32 pops out of the pop-up accommodation grid 31, enabling the customer to take the purchased product. After the customer takes the purchased product, the customer or the hotel management staff can push the pop-up grid 32 back into the pop-up accommodation grid 31 after the customer checks out. At this time, the locking member 33 connected to the pop-up grid 32 moves into the pop-up accommodation grid 31 and compresses the first elastic member 35, and the locking member 33 pushes the plug-in member to move synchronously and makes the plug-in member 34 compress the second elastic member 37. When the locking groove 331 is opposite to the plug-in member 34, the plug-in member 34 is inserted into the locking groove 331 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 37, so that the plug-in member 34 resumes its locking effect on the locking member 33, thereby locking the pop-up grid 32 in the pop-up accommodation grid 31. At this time, the first elastic member 35 is in a compressed state. Only when a customer scans the code for purchase, the pop-up grid 32 can pop out under the elastic force of the first elastic member 35. Through the setting of code-scanning and popping, the problem of missed calculation of charged products by traditional hotels after the customer checks out can be solved, and the management efficiency can be improved.
[0025] In an alternative embodiment, the multifunctional box further includes a QR code provided on the box body 1. The QR code is communicatively connected to the processor. The processor includes a communication module and can be connected to the hotel shopping system. When a user scans the QR code on the box body 1 through a terminal, the terminal can be connected to the hotel shopping system, and the user can select the food in the corresponding scanned shopping area as needed. After the payment is completed, the processor controls the corresponding pop-up grid 32 to pop out from the pop-up accommodation grid 31, thereby completing the shopping.
[0026] In an alternative embodiment, the multifunctional box further includes a control screen provided on the box body 1. The user can select the food to be consumed on the control screen as needed, and then scan the payment QR code on the control screen through the terminal to complete the payment. The processor controls the corresponding pop-up grid 32 to pop out from the pop-up accommodation grid 31, thereby completing the shopping.
[0027] In a specific embodiment, a first guiding surface 332 is provided on the groove wall of the locking groove 331 away from the pop-up grid 32. The plug-in member 34 is provided with a second guiding surface 342 that cooperates with the first guiding surface 332. In this embodiment, by using the combination of the first guiding surface 332 and the second guiding surface 342, when the locking member 33 moves in the direction of the pop-up accommodation grid 31, the first guiding surface 332 will contact the second guiding surface 342. Thus, the cooperation between the two causes the plug-in member 34 to move in a direction away from the locking member 33, and the plug-in member 34 compresses the second elastic member 37. When the locking groove 331 is opposite to the plug-in member 34, the plug-in member 34 is inserted into the locking groove 331 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 37, thereby realizing the plug-in cooperation between the two.
[0028] In a specific embodiment, the driving member includes a microswitch provided in the box body 1 and a first titanium wire 361 connected to the microswitch; the first titanium wire 361 is connected to the plug-in member 34. Utilizing the characteristic that the first titanium wire 361 automatically contracts when electrified, when the processor wants to control the corresponding pop-up grid 32 to pop out, the microswitch controls the first titanium wire 361 to be electrified and contract, thereby driving the plug-in member 34 to move in a direction away from the locking groove 331, thus releasing the locking of the locking groove 331 and enabling the pop-up grid 32 to pop out of the pop-up accommodation grid 31 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 35.
[0029] Further, the mounting member 38 is provided with a winding wheel 385, and the first titanium wire 361 is wound around the winding wheel 385, thereby facilitating the first titanium wire 361 to drive the plug-in member 34 to release the locking of the locking member 33 according to a preset trajectory.
[0030] In an alternative embodiment, the driving member may also be an electromagnetic member. When it is necessary to release the insertion of the plug-in member 34 into the locking groove 331, the microswitch controls the electromagnetic member to be energized, so that the electromagnetic member becomes magnetic and can magnetically cooperate with the mating member on the plug-in member 34, thereby driving the plug-in member 34 away from the locking groove 331.
[0031] In a specific embodiment, the code scanning and popping group 3 further includes a mounting member 38 disposed in the box body 1. The mounting member 38 is provided with a first fixing groove 381, and the first fixing groove 381 is provided with a first socket 382 for inserting the locking member 33. One end of the first elastic member 35 away from the locking member 33 abuts against the bottom of the first fixing groove 381. In the locked state (i.e., the state where the plug-in member 34 is inserted into the locking groove 331), the first elastic member 35 is compressed between the bottom of the first fixing groove 381 and the locking member 33. The mounting member 38 is further provided with a second fixing groove 383, and the second fixing groove 383 is provided with a second socket 384 communicating with the first fixing groove 381. The plug-in member 34 enters the first fixing groove 381 through the second socket 384 and is inserted and cooperated with the locking groove 331. One end of the second elastic member 37 away from the plug-in member 34 abuts against the bottom of the second fixing groove 383. In the locked state, the second elastic member 37 may be in a free state or a slightly compressed state. When the user completes the scanning and payment, the driving member drives the plug-in member 34 to move away from the locking groove 331. At this time, the deformation amount of the second elastic member 37 continuously increases. When the plug-in member 34 leaves the locking groove 331, the elastic force of the first elastic member 35 recovering from deformation will drive the locking member 33 to push the pop-up grid 32 out of the pop-up receiving grid 31. When the driving member stops driving the plug-in member 34 to move, at this time, the plug-in member 34 moves toward the locking member 33 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 37 recovering from deformation and reaches the side of the first guiding surface 332 close to the bottom of the first fixing groove 381. When the pop-up grid 32 is pushed back into the pop-up receiving grid 31, the first guiding surface 332 can move to contact the second guiding surface 342 of the plug-in member 34, and under the interaction of the two, the plug-in member 34 moves toward the bottom of the second fixing groove 383 and compresses the second elastic member 37. When the plug-in member 34 corresponds to the locking groove 331, the plug-in member 34 loses the abutment against the bottom of the locking groove 331, and thus enters the locking groove 331 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 37, thereby completing the locking of the pop-up grid 32. In this embodiment, the first elastic member 35 and the second elastic member 37 may be springs.
[0032] In a specific embodiment, the code scanning and popping group 3 further includes a torsion spring 39. One end of the torsion spring 39 is connected to the side wall of the mounting member 38, and the other end is connected to the plug-in member 34. When the plug-in member 34 moves towards the bottom of the second fixing groove 383, the torsion spring 39 deforms, thereby also playing the role of the second elastic member 37.
[0033] In a specific embodiment, there are multiple code scanning and popping groups 3. The processors of the multiple code scanning and popping groups 3 can be integrated into one or separately arranged.
[0034] In a specific embodiment, the box body 1 further includes a mounting member 38 accommodation cavity 11. The mounting member 38 is disposed in the mounting member 38 accommodation cavity 11. The popping accommodation cell 31 is provided with a communication hole 311 communicating with the mounting member 38 accommodation cavity 11. The locking member 33 is inserted into the first fixing groove 381 of the corresponding mounting member 38 through the communication hole 311.
[0035] In a specific embodiment, the mounting member 38 accommodation cavity 11 is located at the lower end of the placement area, thereby saving the space of the box body 1.
[0036] In a specific embodiment, the placement area includes a tissue accommodation cavity 21 and a closing plate 22 detachably connected to the tissue accommodation cavity 21 for closing the tissue accommodation cavity 21. A tissue extraction opening 23 is provided in the middle of the closing plate 22. In this embodiment, the tissue paper can be placed in the tissue accommodation cavity 21, and the opening of the tissue accommodation cavity 21 is closed by the closing plate 22. The user can extract the tissue paper through the tissue extraction opening 23.
[0037] Further, a third elastic member abutting against the bottom of the tissue accommodation cavity 21 and an elastic plate connected to one end of the third elastic member away from the bottom of the accommodation cavity are provided in the tissue accommodation cavity 21. The elastic plate is used for placing the tissue paper of the tissue paper, so that the tissue paper can always be pushed upward towards the tissue extraction opening 23 under the elastic force of the third elastic member, avoiding that after extracting a certain amount of tissue paper, the tissue paper is too far away from the tissue extraction opening 23 and is not easy to extract the tissue paper. The third elastic member can be a spring.
[0038] In a specific embodiment, one or more guiding members 211 are provided on the side wall of the accommodation cavity, and guiding grooves cooperating with the guiding members 211 are provided on the elastic plate, so as to ensure the stability of the tissue paper on the elastic plate.
[0039] In a specific embodiment, one or more article placement cells 24 for placing articles are further provided in the placement area. The article placement cells 24 can be used to place an air conditioner remote control or a TV remote control, etc., which is convenient for the user to take.
[0040] In a specific embodiment, the code scanning and popping group 3 further includes a second titanium wire 362 connected to the popping cell 32 and a second micro switch connected to the second titanium wire 362. The second micro switch is connected to the processor. With this setting, after the user takes the purchased items, the second micro switch can drive the second titanium wire 362 to contract, so as to reset the popping cell 32 back into the popping accommodation cell 31. An item sensor connected to the processor can also be arranged in the popping cell 32 to sense whether the commodity in the corresponding popping cell 32 is taken out by the user. If it senses that the commodity is taken out, the processor can control the second titanium wire 362 to contract, so as to complete the automatic operation of putting the popping cell 32 into the cell. The sensor can be an infrared sensor or a weight sensor.
