Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics storage technology, and in particular to an intelligent cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread adoption of e-commerce, smart lockers, serving as logistics hubs, are now widely deployed in residential areas and workplaces, ensuring consumers can promptly retrieve their purchased items. Each smart locker can provide dozens or even hundreds of storage boxes, with the locker doors typically kept closed.

[0003] For security reasons, smart lockers are relatively enclosed, making unauthorized opening from the outside very difficult, thus ensuring the safety of the items inside.

[0004] However, in the event of a circuit failure or a sudden power outage, because the cabinet door is normally closed, the electric lock on the door cannot be opened when power is lost. Maintenance personnel can only perform repairs and maintenance by opening the entire side or back panel of the cabinet. The entire process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and prolonged operation can cause the items inside the cabinet, especially fresh produce, to spoil, affecting consumers' normal work and life.

[0042] The following detailed description of a specific embodiment of the intelligent cabinet of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Example 1:

[0043] See appendix Figure 1The smart cabinet in this embodiment includes a cabinet body 1 and four cabinet doors 2. The cabinet doors 2 are arranged vertically and open or close the boxes inside the cabinet body 1.

[0044] An inspection door 3 is installed at the top of the cabinet 1. The electrical control unit of the intelligent cabinet is installed inside the inspection door 3. The length of the inspection door 3 is equal to the width of the cabinet 1. The cable port 4 of the electrical control unit is located at the top or side of the cabinet 1, corresponding to the height position of the inspection door 3.

[0045] A manual opening mechanism is installed in the middle of the inspection door 3 to deal with power outages and electrical faults. A key lock mechanism 5 is generally used, and the keys are centrally managed and distributed by the personnel in charge.

[0046] A touchpad 6 is installed on one of the cabinet doors 2 on the cabinet body 1. The height of the touchpad 6 is approximately the same as the height of a human hand when operating it. This is used for retrieving items during normal operation, where authorized consumers are allowed to open a specific cabinet door 2 to retrieve their items.

[0047] The electrical control unit and control method of this patent are based on existing intelligent cabinets. The distinguishing feature of this patent is the addition of a maintenance door 3 that can be manually opened in the event of a fault or power failure. Example 2:

[0048] See appendix Figure 2 The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the inspection door 3 is located at the lower end of the cabinet 1, and the cable port 4 is located on the cabinet 1 on the side of the inspection door 3. Example 3:

[0049] See appendix Figure 3 The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that two rows of cabinet doors 2 are arranged vertically on the cabinet body 1, with four doors in each row, and the cabinet body 1 is approximately twice the size of Embodiment 1. The access door 3 is also located at the top of the cabinet body 1. Example 4:

[0050] See appendix Figure 4 The difference between Embodiment 4 and Embodiment 3 is that the inspection door 3 is located at the lower end of the cabinet 1.

[0051] All embodiments extended from this patent are protected by this patent, such as larger or smaller cabinet 1, more or fewer cabinet doors 2, and access doors 3 located in different positions on cabinet 1, including not only the upper and lower positions, but also the left and right positions, or even the middle position of cabinet 1, and the length can also be adjusted, etc.

[0052] When the smart cabinet of this patent is in use, the cabinet door 2 is normally closed. During normal item retrieval, the user is authorized to open the corresponding cabinet door 2 through an authorization code or other means, retrieves the item, and then closes the cabinet door 2. When the smart cabinet experiences a circuit failure, the cabinet door 2 is locked. Staff can unlock the maintenance door 3 with a key, open the maintenance door 3, and inspect the internal wiring. Example 5:

[0053] See appendix Figure 5 , 6 The upper cabinet door 2 of the eight-door cabinet is removed. Cover plates 8 are installed on the two vertical partitions 7 in the middle. After removing the cover plates 8, an inspection groove 9 is formed between the two vertical partitions 7. Electric locks 10 are installed on each of the two vertical partitions 7 to open and close the cabinet doors 2 on both sides. The width of the inspection groove 9 is sufficient for maintenance personnel to install and remove the electric locks 10.

[0054] For a single-row, four-door smart cabinet, an inspection groove 9 is formed between the side of the cabinet body 1 and a vertical partition 7, and the other structures are similar to those of an eight-door cabinet.

[0055] See appendix Figure 7-10 Inside the cabinet 1 inside the inspection slot 9, a vertical unlocking plate 11 is installed. A locking block 12 is installed on the side of the unlocking plate 11.

A locking pin 16 is provided on the mounting block 14, and the locking pin 16 fits into the groove 15. There are multiple mounting blocks 14 and grooves 15 corresponding to each other, and they are respectively provided on the vertical partition 7 near multiple cabinet doors 2. The unlocking plate 11 slides up and down through the groove 15 and the locking pin 16. When the unlocking plate 11 drives the locking block 12 to slide upward, it pushes open the unlocking pin 13, thereby unlocking the electric lock 10.

[0057] When the access door 3 is located at the top of the cabinet 1, the upper end of the unlocking plate 11 extends into the access door 3. In case of unexpected circuit failure or power loss, the access door 3 is opened via the key lock mechanism. The upper end of the unlocking plate 11 is then lifted upwards from inside the access door 3. The locking block 12 on the unlocking plate 11 engages with the unlocking pin 13 of the electric lock 10, thereby unlocking the electric lock 10 and allowing both cabinet doors 2 on either side of the unlocking plate 11 to be fully opened. After opening, the cover plate 8 can be removed, allowing the electric lock 10 to be inspected and repaired through the access slot 9.

[0058] When the access door 3 is located at the lower end of the cabinet 1, the lower end of the unlocking plate 11 extends into the access door 3. By lifting the unlocking plate 11 upwards, the cabinet door 2 can be fully opened.

[0059] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
