Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of this utility model belong to the field of intelligent wardrobe technology, and more specifically, relate to an intelligent wardrobe for storing and retrieving items, such as a white coat. Background Technology
[0002] After washing, the white coats worn by medical staff in hospitals are stored in lockers. They are retrieved when needed. Because the white coats are relatively large, they are usually folded into blocks and piled up in the lockers. Since all the white coats look identical, they can only be found by looking at the nameplates. Because they are piled up in the lockers, searching for a coat easily disturbs other coats, further increasing the difficulty of finding the correct one. Furthermore, hospitals often have visiting scholars and interns who only stay for short periods, leaving their white coats behind in the lockers after they leave. This causes the lockers to become increasingly cluttered over time, seriously affecting the time medical staff have to change their white coats.
[0003] Currently, a new type of intelligent storage wardrobe exists on the market, comprising a cabinet body, which includes a storage area and a clothing storage area. The storage area is equipped with an automatic hanging and retrieving structure, a camera device, a main control module, and a communication module. The automatic hanging and retrieving structure, the camera device, and the communication module are all electrically connected to the main control module. The clothing storage area is equipped with a rotating hanging chain conveyor system, which also has multiple QR codes or barcodes with different codes. A drive motor for driving the rotating hanging chain conveyor system to rotate is also provided on one side of the rotating hanging chain conveyor system. The cabinet body is also equipped with a display system for users to select and match clothes, and the display system is electrically connected to the control module.
[0004] This type of smart wardrobe solves the problem of intelligent clothing storage and retrieval, saving significant time spent choosing and searching for clothes. Its installation is convenient and sturdy, meeting current demands for smart products. However, this smart wardrobe still cannot solve the problem of leftover white coats, causing them to accumulate inside. Therefore, a smart wardrobe for white coats is needed, which, while facilitating the storage and retrieval of white coats, also provides a cleaning function to periodically remove leftover white coats, making it easier for medical staff to change white coats and saving time searching for them.

Detailed Implementation
[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0038] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a smart wardrobe for storing white coats, including: a wardrobe body 1, a moving component 2, and a hanging component 3. The wardrobe body 1 has multiple hanging layers for storing washed white coats awaiting replacement; the moving component 2 is located within each hanging layer of the wardrobe body 1; the hanging component 3 is mounted on the moving component 2 for hanging the white coats. The moving component 2 periodically moves the hanging component 3 between different hanging layers, thus separating the white coats into different hanging layers according to their storage time, and periodically cleaning up white coats stored for extended periods. By automatically moving the white coats in the wardrobe according to time to achieve zoned storage, medical staff can quickly find their own white coats in the corresponding hanging layers, avoiding the problem of disorganized storage caused by searching. Furthermore, white coats stored for extended periods are defined as "leftovers" and cleaned up promptly, preventing the accumulation of leftovers and maintaining the cleanliness of the wardrobe.
[0039] The wardrobe body 1 includes a cabinet panel 11, partitions 12, and drawers 13. The cabinet panel 11 forms the outer frame of the wardrobe, constituting its external structure. Multiple partitions 12 are located within the cabinet panel 11, dividing the wardrobe's interior space into multiple hanging layers. A transfer groove is formed at the connection between the side of each partition 12 and the side panel of the cabinet panel 11, connecting two hanging layers. A white coat is moved between adjacent hanging layers via this transfer groove. The transfer grooves on adjacent partitions 12 are positioned opposite each other, meaning that when transferring a white coat, it is transferred in from one side and out from the other within the same hanging layer. The drawers 13 are located at the bottom of the lowest hanging layer, open to it without obstruction. Any items left behind in this hanging layer are collected in the drawers 13 for later cleaning by staff, facilitating the collection of lost items and reducing the workload of relevant personnel.
[0040] The side panel of the cabinet panel 11 also has a groove to serve as a movement channel. The moving component 2 includes a chain 21, a drive wheel 22, and a support wheel 23. The chain 21 is longitudinally arranged within the movement channel and laterally arranged below the top panel of the cabinet panel 11 and the layered partitions 12. The laterally arranged chain 21 is connected to the longitudinally arranged chain 21 to form a closed loop. The chain 21 has a double-chain structure, with two chains 21 arranged parallel and moving synchronously. The drive wheel 22 and support wheel 23 are located at the corners of the chain 21. The drive wheel 22 is located above the laterally arranged chain 21 and only at the corner between the bottom and top hanging layers. It has a double-gear structure, with two gears concentrically arranged and connected by the same central shaft, enabling the two gears to rotate synchronously. The support wheel 23 is located above or below the horizontally arranged chain 21, and at the corners of all chains 2 except the drive wheel 22. It is also a double gear structure, with two gears arranged concentrically and fixed by two central shafts respectively, with a gap between the two central shafts.
[0041] The moving component 2 also includes a protective plate 24. The protective plate 24 is located on both sides of the horizontally arranged chain 21, and is fixed to the top plate of the cabinet panel 11 and the bottom of the layered partition 12. It comprises two L-shaped, opposing strip plates with a gap between their horizontal sections. The central shaft of the drive wheel 22 is rotatably connected to the two vertical plates of the protective plate 24, and passes through one of the vertical plates to connect to a drive motor, which drives the wheel. At the support wheel 23, each of the two horizontal plates of the protective plate 24 has an upward hook to provide a support plate. The two gears of the support wheel 23 are rotatably connected between the support plates and vertical plates of the two side strip plates.
[0042] Multiple garment hanging components 3 are equidistantly arranged on the chain 21, including garment clips 31, connecting rods 32, and rotating wheels 33. The garment clips 31 are electrically operated, controlled electrically to open and close. One end of the garment clip 31 is fixed to the chain 21 via the connecting rod 32, moving along the chain 21 in the moving channel. Both ends of the connecting rod 32 are fixed to the sides of two chains 21 respectively. The garment clips 31 and the connecting rod 32 are connected by the rotating wheels 33, which are fitted onto the connecting rod 32 and connected by bearings. The garment clips 31 are fixed to the surface of the rotating wheels 33, ensuring they remain vertically downward under their own weight. Limiting baffles are provided on both sides of the rotating wheels 33 to prevent them from moving axially along the connecting rod 32. Each of the aforementioned coat clips 31 is equipped with a button. The coat clip 31 is normally in a clamped state. When it is necessary to hang or take out a white coat, press the button to briefly loosen the coat clip 31 for easy operation.
[0043] The support wheel 23 has a gap between its two gears, which allows the clothes clip 31 to pass through during transport without obstruction. The drive wheel 22 has two gears connected as one unit, which facilitates synchronous rotation. It is positioned above the chain 21, so that the clothes clip 31 can move from below the drive wheel 22 without obstruction.
[0044] The intelligent storage wardrobe provided by this utility model also includes a control component, which is signal-connected to the drive motor and used to control the timed movement and distance of the chain 21; the control component is also signal-connected to the clothes clip 31 and used to control it to periodically loosen to clean up any leftover items.
[0045] Preferably, the moving component 2 is divided into multiple moving segments, and the length of each moving segment is the distance that the chain 21 moves to transfer all the clothes hanging components 3 of the entire clothes hanging layer to another clothes hanging layer. The control component controls the start time of the drive motor, and each start causes the chain 21 to move the distance of one moving segment.
[0046] Preferably, the interval between the start-up of the drive motor is adjusted by the control component, causing it to start periodically to transfer the white coats from each hanging layer to the next. Before each drive motor starts, all the hanging clips 31 on the moving section of the bottom hanging layer of the wardrobe are released, causing all the white coats on them to fall into the drawer 13. According to the interval between the start-up of the motor, each hanging layer is labeled with a time number (e.g., this week, one week ago, two weeks ago, etc.). When medical staff need to change their white coats, they can find them in the corresponding hanging layer according to the nameplate based on the last time they were changed.
[0047] Preferably, when hanging up white coats, laundry staff can fold them into pieces and hang them in order on the top layer of the garment rack.
[0048] By periodically activating the drive motor, the white coats are moved downwards. When medical staff need to change them, they can simply search for them in the corresponding hanging layer according to their washing and care time, without disrupting the original order of the other white coats in the wardrobe. White coats in the bottom hanging layer are considered abandoned items before the next transfer and are collected and disposed of in drawer 13. This allows for quick disposal of abandoned items, preventing them from occupying space in the wardrobe for extended periods and ensuring the overall tidiness of the wardrobe.
[0049] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
