[0038] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0039] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a face recognition smart cabinet 100.

[0040] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the face recognition smart cabinet 100 includes a facial recognition module 110, a display module 120, a cabinet body 130, a cabinet door 140 and a plurality of sensors 150;

[0041] The cabinet door 140 is fixed to the cabinet body 130 , the facial recognition module 110 is signal-connected to the display module 120 , and both the facial recognition module 110 and the display module 120 are placed on the cabinet door 140 ;

[0042] The cabinet 130 has a plurality of storage spaces 130 a , each of which is provided with the sensor 150 ; the sensor 150 is signal-connected to the display module 120 so that the display module 120 can accurately display the placement location of items.

[0043] It is understandable that the technical solution of the present invention is to provide a facial recognition module 110, a display module 120 and a sensor 150. The facial recognition module 110 is used to recognize the face of the target user to unlock the display module 120. The display module 120 is connected to the sensor 150 by signal. The display module 120 can display the item information inside the facial recognition smart cabinet 100 in the form of image information, text information or pattern information, thereby improving the privacy of the facial recognition smart cabinet 100 while being able to obtain the prompt of the item location information in advance; and the display module 120 and the facial recognition module 110 are set on the cabinet door 140, which reduces the occupation of the storage space 130a in the cabinet body 130 and improves the space utilization rate of the facial recognition smart cabinet 100.

[0044] Optionally, the facial recognition module 110 is configured with a dual camera module to improve the accuracy of the facial recognition module 110 in recognizing faces, further ensuring the privacy of the facial recognition cabinet.

[0045] Optionally, the sensor 150 may be an infrared sensor, a camera, or an ultrasonic sensor.

[0046] See also Figure 2 In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the sensor 150 is a pressure sensor.

[0047] It is understandable that, compared with other types of sensors 150 , the pressure sensor has lower maintenance costs and is more sensitive and reliable.

[0048] Please continue reading Figure 2 In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the storage space 130a is further provided with an auxiliary layer plate 160 and a connecting component 170 , and the auxiliary layer plate 160 is connected to the upper wall of the storage space 130a through the connecting component 170 .

[0049] It is understood that when the sensor 150 is a pressure sensor, it is typically located on the bottom wall of the storage space 130a. Therefore, when more types of items need to be stored, the auxiliary shelf 160 is located on the upper wall of the storage space 130a via the connecting assembly 170, avoiding contact with the pressure sensor. The installation of the auxiliary shelf 160 improves the utilization rate of the storage space 130a while avoiding interference with the storage data of items placed in the storage space 130a.

[0050] It can also be understood that the provision of the auxiliary shelf 160 further enhances the privacy of the face recognition smart cabinet 100 , thereby avoiding the monitoring of such items placed on the auxiliary shelf 160 .

[0051] Optionally, consumable items can be stored on the auxiliary layer 160 to meet the diverse usage needs of users. Since such items usually do not need to be returned, there is no need to use pressure sensors for monitoring.

[0052] Generally, in order to improve the utilization rate of the auxiliary shelf 160 , the auxiliary shelf 160 is disposed at a height position of the cabinet 130 that is convenient for users to take items.

[0053] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a specific embodiment, the connecting assembly 170 includes a first hinge 171, a second hinge 172 and a limiting structure 173;

[0054] The limiting structure 173 is arranged on the side wall of the storage space 130a for supporting the auxiliary layer plate 160; the end of the first hinge 171 is hinged to the upper wall of the storage space 130a, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second hinge 172, and the second hinge 172 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary layer plate 160.

[0055] It can be understood that the setting of the limiting structure 173 realizes the retraction of the auxiliary layer 160. When the user does not need to use the auxiliary layer 160 to increase the amount of storage space 130a, the limiting structure 173 can be set to abut and cooperate with the auxiliary layer 160, thereby realizing the retraction of the auxiliary layer 160 close to the upper wall of the storage space 130a.

[0056] Optionally, the first hinge 171 and the second hinge 172 are made of rigid materials, such as metal materials, composite materials or engineering plastics.

[0057] Further, if Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in order to improve the stability of the connection assembly 170 fixing the auxiliary layer 160, the first hinge 171 is provided with a first matching portion 1711, and the second hinge 172 is provided with a second matching portion 1721;

[0058] When the included angle between the first hinge 171 and the second hinge 172 is 180 degrees, the first matching portion 1711 and the second matching portion 1721 are snap-fitted together.

[0059] Optionally, the first matching portion 1711 is a latching protrusion, and the second matching portion 1721 is a latching groove that matches the latching protrusion.

[0060] Optionally, the second matching portion 1721 is a latching protrusion, and the first matching portion 1711 is a latching groove that matches the latching protrusion.

[0061] Further, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 In order to achieve rapid retraction of the auxiliary layer 160, the second hinge 172 is provided with a third matching portion 1722. When the angle between the first hinge 171 and the second hinge 172 is 0 degrees, the third matching portion 1722 is used to engage with the first matching portion 1711.

[0062] It should be noted that when the auxiliary layer 160 is quickly retracted, the auxiliary layer 160 can be pushed by an upward external force. After the third matching part 1722 is engaged with the first matching part 1711, the limiting structure 173 is abutted against the auxiliary layer 160, thereby completing the rapid retraction of the auxiliary layer 160 and avoiding occupying the storage space 130a.

[0063] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the upper wall of the storage space 130a is further provided with a rolling member 131 ; when the angle between the first hinge 171 and the second hinge 172 is 0 degrees, the second fitting portion 1721 is used to engage with the rolling member 131 .

[0064] It should also be noted that when releasing the auxiliary panel 160, it is usually necessary to first overcome the restraint imposed by the retaining structure 173 on the auxiliary panel 160. The provision of the rolling element 131 prevents the auxiliary panel 160 from rapidly falling when the restraint imposed by the retaining structure 173 is released, thereby improving user safety during the retraction and release operation. Specifically, after the user releases the restraint imposed by the retaining structure 173 on the auxiliary panel 160, it is usually necessary to apply a downward external force to the auxiliary panel 160 to allow the rolling element 131 to rotate away from the second mating portion 1721.

[0065] It should also be noted that after the second fitting portion 1721 is snap-fitted with the rolling element 131, and the third fitting portion 1722 is snap-fitted with the first fitting portion 1711, the auxiliary layer 160 can be directly retracted. Usually, in order to improve the reliability of the retraction of the auxiliary layer 160, a limiting structure 173 will also be arranged below the auxiliary layer 160.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting structure 173 is slidably connected to the side arm of the storage space 130 a ; the auxiliary layer plate 160 has an avoidance portion 161 , and the avoidance portion 161 is used to avoid the limiting structure 173 .

[0067] It can be understood that the avoidance portion 161 is set to avoid the limiting structure 173 when the auxiliary layer 160 is retracted; after the auxiliary layer 160 passes through the limiting structure 173, the limiting structure 173 slides relative to the side arm of the storage space 130a, thereby achieving the abutment and limiting of the auxiliary layer 160 by the limiting structure 173.

[0068] Optionally, in order to more conveniently realize the retraction and unfolding of the auxiliary layer 160, the limiting structure 173 is a marble, which can cooperate with the side wall of the auxiliary layer 160, and when an external force acts on the auxiliary layer 160, the marble can be stored in the side arm of the storage space 130a.

[0069] Optionally, the limiting structure 173 is a positioning pin, and the positioning pin is plugged into and fitted with a side arm of the storage space 130a.

[0070] See also Figure 1 In a specific embodiment, the face recognition smart cabinet 100 further includes a fingerprint recognition module 180 and an IC recognition module 190;

[0071] The fingerprint recognition module 180 and the IC recognition module 190 are both disposed on the cabinet door 140 .

[0072] It should be noted that the configuration of the fingerprint recognition module 180 is mainly used to improve the security level of the face recognition smart cabinet 100. Optionally, after the face recognition module 110 unlocks the display module 120, the user can control the unlocking of the cabinet door 140 through the fingerprint recognition module 180.

[0073] It should also be noted that the IC identification module 190 is mainly used to quickly identify the items to be stored and accessed. Generally, the stored items are all provided with an IC chip for the IC identification module 190 to identify them.

[0074] Optionally, the IC identification module 190 may also be replaced by a magnetic card identification module.

[0075] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
