AI Technical Summary
Existing key cabinets lack a structure that protects each key individually, making them easy to lose. They also lack a detection process when keys are returned, resulting in limited functionality.
A storage cabinet designed for easy access and storage uses a ring plate and drive assembly to protect the keys. When the keys are returned, a vision camera detects the keys, and combined with identity authentication and alcohol detection, the cabinet ensures secure key management.
This improves the security of centralized key management, prevents loss, and uses alcohol testing to prevent drunk driving, thus enhancing the security and efficiency of key management.

[0025] Example 1
[0026] As shown in the figure, this utility model proposes a storage cabinet for easy access, comprising a cabinet 1, an annular plate 6, a cylindrical tube 7, a central tube 9, a drive assembly, and an authentication mechanism. The cabinet 1 has a storage compartment and a cabinet door 2. An electromagnet 3 is mounted on the cabinet 1, and a magnetic suction plate 4 that magnetically engages with the electromagnet 3 is mounted on the cabinet door 2. A handle is also mounted on the cabinet door 2. An explosion-proof plate 5 is installed inside the opening of the storage compartment. The explosion-proof plate 5 has an access port 52 and several viewing windows 51. The viewing windows 51 and access ports 52 are arranged in a circular array around the center of the storage compartment, with the access ports 52 located at the bottom. The annular plate 6 is coaxially rotatable within the storage compartment. Several circular grooves 61 corresponding to each viewing window 51 are arranged in a circular array around the axis of the annular plate 6, and several through holes 62 connecting its central hole and each circular groove 61 are arranged in a circular array around its center. Multiple cylindrical tubes 7 are coaxially rotatably disposed within corresponding circular grooves 61. Each cylindrical tube 7 contains a counterweight 8 with a storage slot 81. A detection window 71 is located on the side of each cylindrical tube 7 away from the counterweight 8, and a note slot 81 is located on the side of the counterweight 8 facing the opening of the circular groove 61. A central tube 9 is coaxially disposed within the storage compartment and located inside the central hole of the annular plate 6. A vision camera 10 with its detection port facing downwards is mounted on the central tube 9. A drive assembly, including a motor 14, is mounted on the central tube 9. An internal gear ring 11, coaxially rotatable with the central tube 9, is coaxially connected to the annular plate 6. A rotating shaft is coaxially rotatable on the central tube 9, coaxially connected to a first gear 12. A second gear 13 is rotatably mounted on the central tube 9, meshing with both the first gear 12 and the internal gear ring 11. The motor 14 is mounted on the central tube 9, and its output end is connected to the rotating shaft. When the drive assembly rotates the ring plate 6, each through hole 62 passes sequentially below the detection end of the vision camera 10. The authentication mechanism is mounted on the cabinet 1 and includes a Bluetooth module, an NFC module, a card reader, and a face recognition camera 15. A PLC controller and a display screen 16 are mounted on the cabinet 1. The electromagnet 3, vision camera 10, motor 14, and display screen 16 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the authentication mechanism is also electrically connected to the PLC controller.
[0027] In this embodiment, each key is first placed into its corresponding storage slot, and a label is affixed to each label slot 82, indicating the purpose and function of each key. Then, user information is entered, including card information and facial recognition data. When a user needs to retrieve a key, they first authenticate their identity by facial recognition, card swiping, or connecting via Bluetooth or NFC. After authentication, the user selects the desired key. Then, motor 14 starts and drives the first gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the annular plate 6 to rotate via the second gear 13 and the internal gear ring 11 until the corresponding cylindrical tube 7 rotates until its opening aligns with the retrieval port 52. During this process, the cylindrical tube 7 maintains its predetermined orientation due to the bottom counterweight 8, thus preventing damage caused by the key rolling and rubbing within the cylindrical tube 7. Then the electromagnet 3 is de-energized, and the user can open the cabinet door 2 to take out the key from the retrieval slot 52. When returning the key, the user puts the key into the corresponding storage slot 81. At this time, the detection probe of the vision camera 10, the bottom through hole 62, and the detection window 71 on the cylindrical tube 7 directly below are in a straight line. The vision camera 10 is activated and compares and detects the key. If the detection fails, the cabinet door 2 is opened and the user is reminded to replace or take out the key.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes a storage cabinet that is easy to access. Compared with the first embodiment, the cabinet 1 is provided with a breath detection slot. A cover plate 17 for closing the opening of the breath detection slot is rotatably provided on the cabinet 1. An alcohol detector 18 is provided on the cover plate 17. The alcohol detector 18 is electrically connected to a PLC controller. An electric telescopic rod 19 for controlling the opening and closing of the cover plate 17 is provided in the breath detection slot. The body of the electric telescopic rod 19 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 1, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 19 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 17.
[0030] In this embodiment, since the public keys mainly include car keys and office keys, if a user needs to retrieve a car key, the electric telescopic rod 19 will be activated first after the user completes identity authentication. The electric telescopic rod 19 pushes the cover plate 17 to open, at which point the opening of the alcohol detector 18 is exposed. The user needs to complete a breath alcohol test before proceeding to the next step. The user blows into the air and performs a breath test. If the user has consumed alcohol, the key retrieval procedure is interrupted; if the user has not consumed alcohol, the next step is performed. This structure effectively ensures the safety of the user's life and the safety of public property.
[0031] Example 3
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present invention proposes a storage cabinet that is easy to access and place. Compared with Embodiment 1, the cabinet 1 is equipped with a wireless transceiver and an audible and visual alarm. Both the wireless transceiver and the audible and visual alarm are electrically connected to the PLC controller. The wireless transceiver is remotely connected to the control terminal computer and communication devices such as mobile phones.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the storage cabinet is maliciously damaged, the audible and visual alarm and the wireless transmitter in the wireless transceiver are activated simultaneously. The audible and visual alarm emits a sharp audible and visual alarm, while the wireless transmitter sends alarm information to the management personnel in a timely manner.
[0034] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
