It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Please see Figure 1-4A modular smart cabinet includes a cabinet body 100, a drawer 400 installed on the cabinet body 100, multiple modular devices and a control board 600 installed in the drawer 400, the multiple modular devices being controlled by the control board 600 via Bluetooth, and the control board 600 being able to achieve a one-to-many connection via Bluetooth; four sets of infrared sensors 701 are installed on the top of one of the modular devices, and a through hole 301 is opened on the top of the cabinet body 100. When the drawer 400 is closed, the detection end of the infrared sensor 701 is facing upward and directly below the through hole 301; the signal output end of the infrared sensor 701 is connected to the signal input end of the control board 600.

[0030] Specifically, one of the module devices is a speaker 700, with an infrared sensor 701 vertically mounted on the top of the speaker 700. A speaker dust cover 300 is installed through the top of the cabinet 100, with a through hole 301 on the speaker dust cover 300. The speaker 700 is configured as a Bluetooth speaker.

[0031] In implementation, a magnet is fixedly connected to the bottom of the infrared sensor 701, and the infrared sensor 701 is fixedly attached to the top of the speaker 700 by the magnet. A weak magnet is sufficient; if the magnetism is too strong, it may affect the sound quality of the speaker.

[0032] In implementation, one of the module devices is a humidifier 500. A vent 402 extending into the interior of the drawer 400 is provided on the handle 401 of the drawer 400. The humidifier 500's moisture outlet is connected to the vent 402 via a flexible hose. A water inlet 501 is provided on the top of the humidifier 500, and the humidifier 500 is controlled by a control panel 600.

[0033] Specifically, the cabinet 100 houses a battery 800 for power supply, which has multiple USB ports for outputting power, facilitating connection to other modular devices. A charging plug 803 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inward-facing end of the drawer 400, and the charging plug 803 has a charging circuit. The charging plug 803 is connected to the battery 800 via a connecting wire 802. A charging socket 900 aligned with the charging plug 803 is fixedly installed inside the cabinet 100, and a notch 403 is provided at the inward-facing end of the drawer 400. A limiting block 102 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 100 to restrict the pushing distance of the drawer 400.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a wireless charger 200 is embedded in the top of the cabinet 100 near the corner. The wireless charger 200 is electrically connected to the battery 800 via a spring wire 801. A protruding upright plate 101 is provided on the top of the cabinet 100. The upright plate 101 allows for convenient placement of a mobile phone, such as placing it directly on the corner and aligning it with the charging position of the wireless charger 200.

[0035] In specific operation (sitting or lying on the bed), the four sets of infrared sensors 701 are just one embodiment; five sets can also be set. The four sets of infrared sensors 701 in this embodiment are labeled "A, B, C, D," such as A at the top left (from the bed's perspective), B at the top right, C at the bottom right, and D at the bottom left. In use, one can wave one hand across "C" or "D," or wave one hand across "C, D" or "D, C"; or wave one hand clockwise across "A, B, C, D" or counterclockwise across "D, C, B, A"; or place one hand on "C" or "D" and hold it there; or wave two times across "C, D, D, C" or "D, C, C, D." These commands may be difficult to express verbally, but in practice, it's very easy to remember several commands. Single wave, double wave, clockwise, and counterclockwise represent different commands. The control board 600 can collect signals sensed by the infrared sensors 701 to achieve control.

[0036] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this application, but do not limit the patent scope of this application. This application can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing specific embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any equivalent structures made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly within the scope of patent protection of this application.
