Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of car wash equipment technology, and in particular relates to an intelligent lock control system for car wash tools. Background Technology

[0002] As a service industry, car washing currently offers two main service models: one is where customers drive their cars to the car wash shop and have them washed by staff; the other is where customers wash their cars themselves at self-service car washes. For the second model, car wash shops need to provide customers with various car washing tools. However, after use, tools often experience high rates of loss or improper return, leading to unreliable aftercare and high management costs due to the inability to effectively monitor traditional tools. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent lock control system for car wash tools, so as to solve the technical problem that traditional car wash shops cannot monitor and manage car wash tools in real time.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] In some embodiments of this application, a smart lock control system for car wash tools is provided, including:

[0006] The box body has an internal cavity for receiving;

[0007] The lid is hinged to the body of the box, and when closed, it forms a sealed chamber. The lid is equipped with a locking mechanism.

[0008] A support component is provided inside the receiving cavity and is fixedly connected to the box body, and has a suspension area on it;

[0009] A detection component is disposed on the suspension area of ​​the support component, and is used to detect the weight of the object suspended on the support component;

[0010] A locking component, wherein the locking component is disposed on the box body and its locking end is connected to the locking fastener of the box cover;

[0011] The control component is electrically connected to the detection component and the locking component respectively. By receiving the signal from the detection component, the control component issues execution commands to the locking component.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the box body is provided with a slot, and a telescopic member is provided in the slot. One end of the telescopic member is connected to the box body, and the other end is connected to the box cover.

[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0032] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, a more detailed description of this utility model is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] See appendix Figure 1-2 As shown, according to the embodiments of this application, it includes:

[0035] Box 1, the box 1 has an internal cavity, in other words, the box 1 is a hollow box structure, the shape and material of which can be selected according to actual needs, and are not limited here;

[0036] The lid 2 is hinged to the body 1. When closed with the body 1, it forms a sealed chamber. The lid 2 is provided with a locking fastener 201. In other words, the body 1 and the lid 2 are combined to form a sealed box structure, so that car washing tools can be stored inside.

[0037] The support component 3 is a structure such as a rod, stick, plate, or chain that can support the car washing tools. Here, a rod is used as an example. The support component 3 is located in the receiving cavity and is fixedly connected to the box body 1 (that is, the position between the support component 3 and the box body 1 is kept constant by means of bolts, rivets, welding, etc.). It is provided with a suspension area (that is, a part for connecting with the car washing tools). Specifically, the support component 3 is provided with a connecting end and an arc-shaped end, and the arc-shaped end is the suspension area.

[0038] The detection component is a weighing sensor, which is located on the suspension area of ​​the support component 3 and is used to detect the weight of the object suspended on the support component 3.

[0039] The locking component 5 is an electromagnet structure. The locking component 5 is located on the box body 1, and its locking end is connected to the locking buckle 201 of the box cover 2.

[0040] The control component is either a closed-loop control system or a composite control system. Here, a closed-loop control system is used as an example. The control component is electrically connected to the detection component and the locking component 5. By receiving signals from the detection component, it issues execution commands to the locking component 5. It should be noted that the control component internally sets different maximum and minimum threshold standards for the detection component based on different car washing tools on the support component 3. For example, for a towel, if its initial weight is N, its maximum threshold is N+X, and its minimum threshold is Nx. By obtaining the weight of the towel detected by the detection component, the control system compares the detected value with the standard value and generates an execution command.

[0041] The control unit receives the weight of the car wash tool currently in the suspension area from the detection unit to determine whether the car wash tool is in the correct position. When the signal data fed back by the detection unit is correct, the control unit sends a command to the locking component 5 to make the locking tool magnetic. At this time, by closing the cover 2, the locking component 5 comes into contact with the locking fastener 201, so that the locking fastener 201 is magnetically affected and fixedly connected to the locking component 5, thereby closing the box 1. When the signal data fed back by the detection unit exceeds the threshold, the control unit will not open the locking component 5, so the locking component 5 will not generate magnetism. If the box 1 is closed at this time, the box 1 cannot be closed normally.

[0042] The technical effects achieved by the above technical solution in the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0043] The control unit determines the weight of the current car wash tool based on the data collected by the detection unit, and then determines whether the current car wash tool is correctly returned to its position. This allows the locking component 5 to be closed or in a silent state, providing a basis for real-time monitoring and management of the car wash tool.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] In this embodiment, the technical features described in the above embodiments are adopted. The box body 1 is provided with a slot, and a telescopic member 4 is provided in the slot. One end of the telescopic member 4 is connected to the box body 1, and the other end is connected to the box cover 2 (the telescopic member 4 is hinged to the box body 1 and the box cover 2, and the telescopic member 4 can be hinged to the box body 1 and the box cover 2 via a connecting rod, thereby enabling the box cover 2 to separate from the box body 1 under the action of the telescopic member 4). It should be noted that the telescopic member 4 is a telescopic cylinder or elastic telescopic rod structure. When the box body 1 and the box cover 2 are closed, the telescopic member 4 is in a compressed state. Due to the stable connection between the locking component 5 and the fastener 201, the compressed state of the telescopic member 4 does not change. When the magnetism of the locking component 5 disappears, the locking component 5 separates from the fastener 201, and the box cover 2 separates from the box body 1 under the action of the telescopic member 4, thus opening the box body 1.

[0046] The technical effects achieved by the above technical solution in the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0047] By employing the telescopic component 4, when the control component determines that the current car wash tool is not in the correct state or is missing, the locking component 5 is not magnetic. As a result, the lid 2 will automatically open under the action of the telescopic component 4 after it is closed, so that the user can be notified. This provides a basis for realizing real-time monitoring and management of the car wash tool.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] See appendix Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the technical features of the above embodiments are adopted, wherein the locking element 201 is a combined structure, including:

[0050] The main body is a block structure, which is mounted on the box cover 2 and is fixedly connected to the box cover 2. It has an installation cavity 2011 and a sliding groove inside the installation cavity 2011.

[0051] The slider 2012 is located in the mounting cavity 2011 and is slidably connected to the slide groove. One end of the slider 2012 extends through the main body and the other end is provided with a limiting groove. The end of the slider 2012 adopts an arc-shaped structure.

[0052] Spring 2013, the spring 2013 is disposed in the mounting cavity 2011, one end of which is connected to the main body and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove;

[0053] Correspondingly, a slot is provided on the magnetic end of the locking component 5 that corresponds to the position of the mounting cavity 2011. When the locking component 5 is opened, the slider 2012 passes through the main body and engages with the slot. The cross-sectional area of ​​the slot is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the slider 2012.

[0054] When the closing action is performed, the locking component 5 becomes magnetic, and the main body connects with the magnetic end of the locking component 5. This causes the internal slider 2012 to be subjected to magnetic force when it reaches the position of the locking slot, causing the spring 2013 to extend and the slider 2012 to engage with the locking slot and be fixed. When the magnetism disappears, the slider 2012 is retracted by the spring 2013 and disengages from the locking slot, thereby separating the main body from the magnetic end of the locking component 5.

[0055] By adopting the above technical solution, the technical effects produced in the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0056] By adding a slider 2012 inside the main body and adding a slot to the magnetic end of the locking component 5, the locking stability is improved by using the sliding block 2012 and the slot to fit together. Furthermore, the overall operational stability is further improved by using an arc-shaped slider 2012 in conjunction with a spring 2013.

[0057] Example 4

[0058] In this embodiment, the technical features of the above embodiments are adopted. The various modules in the control component employ technologies already disclosed in the art; therefore, the specific structure will not be described in detail, only their working principle will be explained. The control component includes:

[0059] The signal collection unit is a module used to collect, convert, and process physical or electronic signals. The signal collection unit is electrically connected to the detection component. It receives the data detected by the detection component and performs format conversion, that is, converts the electrical signals in the weighing sensor into digital signals and other signal types that can be internally recognized.

[0060] The processing unit is a processor, a module that can process the signals collected and converted by the signal acquisition unit. The processing unit receives the converted signals from the signal acquisition unit and processes them. It has a preset threshold and generates an execution signal after processing.

[0061] An execution unit is electrically connected to the locking component 5 and issues commands to the locking component 5 by receiving execution signals from the processing unit.

[0062] A signal transmission unit is wirelessly connected to the terminal and feeds back the execution signals from the processing unit to the terminal.

[0063] It should be noted that the signal transmission unit can transmit data to the terminal via wireless, serial port, or fiber optic means.

[0064] The technical effects achieved by the above technical solution in the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0065] By adopting a closed-loop control mode, not only is the feedback speed improved, but data transmission with the terminal through the signal transmission unit also provides a foundation for real-time monitoring and management of car wash tools.

[0066] Example 5

[0067] In this embodiment, the technical features described above are adopted, and a billing system is also included. The billing system is connected to the control component to facilitate monitoring and management.

[0068] The billing system includes:

[0069] The user module is used to obtain user information. The user module includes information registration for new users and balance registration for users. User information includes: name, mobile phone number, balance and history.

[0070] The billing module is used to charge based on usage time, and it includes a fee standard that is determined based on usage time.

[0071] A signal transceiver module is wirelessly connected to the processing unit to enable data communication.

[0072] The processing module is coupled to the signal transceiver module. It obtains the dynamics of the control components through the signal transceiver module and issues instructions to the control components through the signal transceiver module. It is also electrically connected to the user module and the billing module. By obtaining the current user information and the current billing data, it can know the current usage cost. It obtains the execution commands from the control components and issues instructions to the billing module according to the execution commands.

[0073] The storage module is used to record user information and historical usage records in the user module, as well as instructions generated by the processing module;

[0074] The fault feedback module sends the image information provided by the user to the processing module.

[0075] The image comparison module has pre-stored image information of the normal state inside the box 1. Based on the image information fed back to the processing module by the fault feedback module, it provides a standard for the processing module, so that the processing module can compare the image information fed back to the standard and make a judgment.

[0076] New users can register their identity and pre-deposit fees through the user module. The user module then records this information based on the user's identity and fees, generating user information. Existing users can skip this step. When using the service, the user logs in through the user module. The processing module retrieves the login information and displays the current user information, balance, and historical records, recording whether the user has used the service. Once the user confirms use, the user module sends instructions to the processing module and the billing module, initiating billing based on usage duration. After use, the user closes the service through the user module. The processing module receives execution commands from the processing components to determine if the washing box 1 is closed correctly and if the car wash tools are properly returned to their positions. When the washing box 1 is closed correctly, the user module displays the current fee according to the billing module's information. The system will process and settle accounts. When the washing box 1 cannot be closed normally, the processing module will send an instruction to the user module so that the user can be notified and the issue can be cleared. At this time, the billing module will not stop billing until the washing box 1 is closed normally. If the user believes that the car wash tools have been correctly returned to their positions, the user needs to apply to the fault feedback module and take a real-time image of the inside of the washing box 1. The processing module will compare the image of the inside of the washing box 1 with the image of the normal state that is stored in the image comparison module. If the comparison is correct, the billing module will stop and the administrator will be notified to repair the fault. If the comparison is incorrect, the billing module will not stop and the user will be asked whether to notify the administrator.

[0077] The technical effects achieved by the above technical solution in the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0078] By taking the failure of tools to be returned to their original positions and the failure of the housing 1 to be closed as prerequisites, and combining this with the billing system, users are able to consciously classify and categorize the tools. In addition, a fault feedback mechanism is added to avoid misjudgment that could lead to prolonged billing for users, thus further improving the overall stability of the system. The adoption of digital monitoring methods not only reduces management costs but also enables real-time monitoring of car wash tools.
