Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of file cabinet technology, specifically a file scanning cabinet structure. Background Technology

[0002] A filing cabinet is a type of cabinet used to store documents and materials. Since many enterprises, institutions, and courier companies need to receive, send, and archive large amounts of written documents or thin express packages, they usually use filing cabinets and their corresponding document management systems to manage the inbound and outbound operations of these documents or express packages in a unified manner, so as to meet the needs of internal personnel for storing, accessing, retrieving, and returning various documents. To facilitate inbound and outbound registration and inventory operations, the documents stored in filing cabinets are generally labeled with document information including name and category, as well as corresponding barcodes or QR codes on their outer packaging. These cabinets are equipped with dedicated barcode scanners, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), or other barcode readers to scan the barcodes on each document for information reading and confirmation. However, this method is still inconvenient when dealing with a large number of document packages, which can affect the efficiency of managers in accessing and storing documents in the filing cabinets. Furthermore, since barcode scanners are often left on, they consume unnecessary energy when not scanning documents, which is detrimental to energy conservation and environmental protection. Prolonged use can also shorten the lifespan of the barcode scanners. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a document scanning cabinet structure that can sense the entry and exit of documents. It is easy to use, energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and helps to extend the service life of the barcode scanner.

[0004] The document scanning cabinet structure described in this utility model includes a cabinet with an open front side, a barcode scanner installed on the top of the cabinet's interior side, and a sensor installed on the front side of the cabinet to detect whether a document has entered the cabinet's interior.

Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0016] It should be noted that if any directional indication (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, top, bottom, inside, outside, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, counterclockwise, clockwise, circumferential, radial, axial, etc.) is involved in the embodiments of this utility model, the directional indication is only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0017] If the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," such descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Furthermore, the technical features of each embodiment can be combined arbitrarily.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the document scanning cabinet structure provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet 11 with an open front side. A barcode scanner 12 is installed on the top of the inner side of the cabinet 11. A sensing device 14 for sensing whether a document has entered the cabinet 11 is installed on the front side of the cabinet 11. The sensing device 14 is connected to the barcode scanner 12 and controls the working state of the barcode scanner 12. When the sensing device 14 detects that a document has entered the cabinet 11, it sends a start signal to the barcode scanner 12 to make it enter the open state. After the document is removed from the cabinet 11, it sends a stop signal to the barcode scanner 12 to make it enter the standby state. There is also a controller connected to the barcode scanner 12. The controller is equipped with a transmitter for network transmission. The controller can receive the image signal of the barcode scanner 12 and send it to the server through the transmitter.

[0019] The front of the cabinet 11 of the document scanning cabinet structure is designed to be open. This structure is suitable for the needs of enterprises, institutions, and courier companies for managing and inventorying large quantities of documents and packages. It allows users, primarily internal staff, to easily place and retrieve documents from the cabinet 11, ensuring efficient scanning. Of course, the structure of the cabinet 11 can also be adjusted according to different usage environments. For example, when it needs to be installed outdoors, a cabinet door or protective curtain can be added to the front of the open cabinet 11 to provide shelter and protect the electronic equipment inside.

[0020] The sensing device 14 can be a through-beam sensor, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a photoelectric sensor is a sensor that uses optical principles to detect the existence, absence, or mismatch of objects at two or more locations. Based on the photoelectric effect, it transmits a light beam from an emitter to a receiver. When an object passes through the space between the two locations, the light signal is blocked or reflected, triggering the sensor to respond accordingly. It features high accuracy, fast response speed, and reliable operation. The sensing device 14 can also employ commonly used sensing devices such as infrared gratings, which can be configured according to actual needs and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0021] The installation method of the sensor 14 can be referred to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a connector 15 is provided on the sensing device 14. A first slide groove 16 is provided on the front side of the cabinet 11. A first slider 17 adapted to the first slide groove 16 is embedded in the first slide groove 16, allowing the first slider 17 to slide along the first slide groove 16. The first slider 17 is detachably connected to the connector 15 by threads, thus facilitating the installation of the sensing device 14 on the cabinet 11. During installation, simply embed the first slider 17 into the first slide groove 16 and thread the connector 15 on the sensing device 14 to the first slider 17 for fixation. This makes installation and removal convenient, and the sensing device 14 can slide up and down along the first slide groove 16 to adjust its specific position according to usage requirements. The connector 15 can adopt an L-shaped structure as shown in the figure to adapt to installation on the front edge of the cabinet 11, or other styles can be adopted according to the specific structure of the cabinet 11. The first slide groove 16 can be vertically set along the front edge of the cabinet 11. The first slider 17 can be provided with a stud 152. When connecting, the stud 152 is inserted into the mounting hole 151 on the connector 15 and then the nut 153 is threaded onto the stud 152, so that the first slider 17 can be detachably connected to the connector 15. By adjusting the nut 153 to tighten it, the connector 15 is clamped and fixed to the front side of the cabinet 11. After loosening the nut 153, the sensing device 14 can move with the first slider 17.

[0022] The connection between connector 15 and sensing device 14 can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, a second slide groove 18 is provided on the sensing device 14, and a second slider 19 adapted to it is embedded in the second slide groove 18, allowing the second slider 19 to slide along the second slide groove 18. The connecting member 15 and the second slider 19 are detachably connected by threads. Specifically, a stud 152 is provided on the second slider 19, and the stud 152 passes through another mounting hole 151 adapted to it on the connecting member 15. A nut 153 is threaded onto the stud 152, thereby allowing the second slider 19 to be detachably connected to the connecting member 15. During disassembly, simply loosen the nut 153, allowing the second slider 19 to slide along the second slide groove 18 and detach from the sensing device 14 from the end of the second slide groove 18. This allows the sensing device 14 to be removed from the connecting member 15 for maintenance, replacement, etc., making the operation convenient. The detachable connection method of the connecting member 15 with the first slider 17 and the second slider 19 is not limited to this. Figure 2 The examples given can also use other common connection structures, which will not be described in detail here.

[0023] The document scanning cabinet structure described in this utility model can be installed in a document cabinet and its corresponding document management system as a scanning cabinet. The installation position should be adjusted to ensure complete coverage of the document placement area within the cabinet structure to avoid missed detections. The barcode scanner 12 inside the cabinet 11 is normally in standby mode. When document scanning is required, a document is placed inside the cabinet. This triggers a sensor 14 located at the front of the cabinet 11, allowing the sensor 14 to detect the document and send a scanning start signal to the barcode scanner 12, activating the camera to scan and identify the document. Alternatively, the barcode scanner 12 can be replaced with other common barcode reading devices.

[0024] The file cabinet contains packages of documents, each marked with a barcode or QR code containing document information. The aforementioned file scanning cabinet structure can be used to scan and identify these barcodes or QR codes, allowing the document information to be obtained by scanning them. Additionally, there is a controller connected to both the file cabinet and the barcode scanner 12. The controller is equipped with a transmitter for network transmission, which receives image signals from the barcode scanner 12 and transmits them to a server. Figure 1The scanning cabinet 11 is equipped with a control display screen 13 that can input control commands to the controller. This screen displays the current storage status of each location in the cabinet and the scanning information of the documents. It also provides a user interface for interacting with the intelligent document storage system, making operation more convenient. During scanning, the document is placed inside the scanning cabinet 11, with its surface barcode or QR code aligned with the barcode scanner 12. The scanner 12 scans the barcode and transmits the scanned image to the controller. The controller then transmits the image signal to the server via a transmitter. The server can recognize the received scanned image using its preset program or various algorithms, and register, store, transfer, or report errors for the acquired document information, displaying the corresponding information on the control display screen 13. The document cabinet with the scanning cabinet structure and its corresponding document management system also have a standard external data interface to connect with other information systems, enabling real-time or asynchronous data synchronization.

[0025] In addition, the cabinet 11 is equipped with lighting fixtures, which can be positioned on both sides of the barcode scanner 12. These fixtures provide adequate supplemental lighting to the interior of the cabinet 11, ensuring sufficient illumination in darker environments and making the barcodes or QR codes on the document surfaces clear enough for effective scanning. A designated scanning area can also be marked on the bottom of the cabinet 11, opposite the barcode scanner 12, to guide users in placing documents in the appropriate position within the cabinet 11 for clear and accurate scanning by the camera 12. The top inner side of the cabinet 11 can also be tilted forward at a certain angle, making the scanning position more forward and convenient for users during scanning operations.

[0026] In summary, by adopting the above-mentioned scanning cabinet structure, it can be applied to various existing file cabinet structures or file management systems. Its barcode camera 12 can only be turned on when there are documents in the cabinet that need to be scanned. It is easy to operate, can ensure the normal operation of scanning work, so as to ensure the efficiency of file storage and retrieval in the file cabinet, and can reduce unnecessary energy consumption, save energy and protect the environment, and extend the service life of the barcode camera 12.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
