Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of law enforcement recorder management cabinets, and particularly to an intelligent management cabinet for law enforcement recorders. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional law enforcement recorder management solutions generally adopt a centralized open storage architecture, storing all recorder devices in a unified storage space with mechanical locks. This management process has structural flaws: while using shared mechanical locks for access control provides basic physical protection, it lacks the ability to dynamically control device access behavior.

[0003] When managers open the storage compartment doors, the system cannot monitor and record the specific number of devices taken out or returned in real time, resulting in missing device status information. This extensive management model has significant flaws: when there are many police officers or multiple people operating simultaneously, management loopholes such as device omission, misuse, and private use are prone to occur, ultimately leading to the risk of device loss and disputes over usage liability.

[0004] While existing technologies have made progress in the intelligent upgrading of management cabinets, establishing a binding relationship between personnel and storage units by setting up independent storage units and adopting contactless identity recognition technologies such as facial recognition and fingerprint recognition has enabled basic-level access control functions.

[0005] However, as verified by those skilled in the art, the system suffers from the following technical bottlenecks:

[0006] First, its access control is still a static mapping relationship, lacking real-time monitoring and abnormal alarm functions for the usage status of storage units. At the same time, it cannot distinguish whether other items are used for storage as a substitute, resulting in law enforcement officers being unable to detect the loss of equipment when it is not stored in time or when it is stored in a substandard way.

[0007] Secondly, the device access records can only perform basic storage and management functions, and fail to form a data linkage with the police management system, resulting in low utilization of management data.

[0008] Furthermore, existing solutions fail to integrate device status sensing technologies, such as the detection of key parameters like battery level and storage space, and cannot provide timely warnings when law enforcement terminals are in abnormal working conditions.

[0009] The main technical challenges resulting from this include: low equipment scheduling efficiency, high manual inspection costs, and crude equipment data management, which fail to meet the demands of modern law enforcement for intelligent management of the entire equipment lifecycle. Utility Model Content

[0010] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an intelligent management cabinet for law enforcement recorders.

[0011] This application provides an intelligent management cabinet for law enforcement recorders, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0012] A smart management cabinet for law enforcement recorders includes a cabinet body and a control host housed inside the cabinet body. The front of the cabinet body is provided with an identity verification device and multiple independent storage compartments, each of which has a door. The cabinet body is provided with an electric lock for controlling the locking state of the compartment doors. The identity verification device is electrically connected to the control host. The storage compartments are provided with USB cables for connecting to the law enforcement recorder to achieve charging and data and identity data transmission. The identity verification device, USB cables, and electric locks are all electrically connected to the control host.

[0013] The bottom plate inside the storage compartment is equipped with a weight sensor that works with the USB cable to control the electronic lock. The electronic lock is locked when the USB cable is connected and the weight sensor detects an item, or when the USB cable is not connected and the weight sensor does not detect an item.

[0014] The common control circuit formed by the USB connection cable and the weight sensor is connected in series with the control circuit of the authentication device and the electric lock.

[0015] The cabinet is equipped with indicator lights that use different colors to indicate the status of the storage compartments or to trigger an alarm. Each indicator light corresponds to a storage compartment.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, based on permission settings and management, a USB connection cable is installed in the storage compartment. This allows the law enforcement device to connect to the USB cable when placed in the storage compartment. The control host then charges the device and simultaneously acquires its information and stored data. This eliminates the need for dedicated personnel to manage and process the device's battery level, status, and stored data, enabling data linkage with the police management system. Indicator lights use different colors to display the storage compartment's status, including whether a law enforcement device is present, whether it is connected to the USB cable, whether it is electrically connected, and whether data transmission has been completed. This allows for clear awareness of the device's status, providing law enforcement officers with a direct understanding of the situation.

[0017] Furthermore, to improve the utilization rate of law enforcement recorders, a combination of authentication devices and USB cables allows for mobile allocation of these recorders. This avoids the inefficient scheduling model of binding law enforcement officers to fixed recorders. Instead, the recorder binds the officer by transmitting their identity information via USB after verification through the authentication device. This eliminates the need for individual recorders, effectively reducing procurement costs when law enforcement officers work in shifts. Simultaneously, the USB cable, in conjunction with a weight sensor, controls the electronic lock, ensuring that the door closes only when the recorder is connected to the USB cable and detected by the weight sensor. This prevents situations where the USB cable is forgotten upon return, leading to insufficient battery power or data overwriting when the recorder is used again. It also prevents misinterpretations of not having been returned when the door is opened but the recorder is not placed inside, thus avoiding management chaos. In one embodiment: the management cabinet further includes a detection module for detecting whether the USB connection cable is in an electrically connected state. The detection module and the weight sensor are connected to a first relay through NOR gates and XOR gates. When the detection module outputs a no-charging signal and the weight sensor outputs a heavy object signal, the first relay controls the electric lock to unlock and controls the indicator light to alarm.

[0018] The authentication device controls the electric lock via a second relay, which is connected in series with the first relay.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the NOR gate outputs 1 when both inputs are the same, and the XOR gate outputs 0 when both inputs are the same. Therefore, abnormal states can be detected through two circuits, thereby controlling the electric lock. In an abnormal state, the state of the first relay is continuously changed, preventing the electric lock from being locked. The second relay is connected in series with the first relay, ensuring that the unlocking of the electric lock can be controlled independently by both.

[0020] In one embodiment: the electronic lock is an elastic electronic lock, or a torsion spring is provided at the rotational connection position between the storage compartment and the door to provide a tendency force for opening the door, or a repulsive magnet is provided between the storage compartment and the door.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the compartment door can be opened automatically when the electronic lock is unlocked, thus providing a more intuitive understanding of whether the compartment door is closed.

[0022] In one embodiment: a mounting cavity for installing a weight sensor is provided below the storage compartment, and the bottom plate inside the storage compartment is vertically movably installed inside the storage compartment and abuts against the weight sensor under the action of gravity.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the base plate division method makes the overall structure simple, and at the same time, the installation is also very convenient.

[0024] In one embodiment: the base plate is provided with downwardly extending guide plates at one end of the storage compartment opening and on the adjacent two sides.

[0025] In one embodiment: the back of the storage compartment is provided with a cable pass-through port for cables to pass through and a cable insertion port for USB cables to pass through, the cable pass-through port being located below the bottom plate and the cable insertion port being located above the bottom plate.

[0026] In one embodiment: the cable pass-through port allows the USB cable to pass through, but not the USB cable connector, and the cable pass-through port is connected to the cable pass-through port.

[0027] In one embodiment, the bottom plate and the back of the storage compartment abut against each other at one end, with a clearance opening that allows a USB cable to pass through but prevents the USB cable connector from passing through.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the base plate, the USB cable is positioned at the clearance opening. After the base plate is installed, it restricts the USB cable to the cable pass-through opening, thus ensuring that the USB cable is inside the storage compartment and preventing it from being pulled out of the storage compartment through the cable pass-through opening.

[0029] In one embodiment, the authentication device is one or more of a camera, a fingerprint scanner, and a card reader.

[0030] In one embodiment, the door is provided with a viewing window.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the viewing window makes it easier for law enforcement officers to observe the situation inside the storage compartment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] To better understand the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this application, it has been described and illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented without these details.

[0042] A smart management cabinet for law enforcement recorders, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a cabinet 100 and a control host housed inside the cabinet 100. The front of the cabinet 100 is provided with a display 200 for connecting to the control host and displaying the control interface, as well as multiple independent storage compartments 300.

[0043] Each storage compartment 300 is equipped with a door 310, which is rotatable or hinged to the opening of the storage compartment 300. To facilitate observation of the situation inside the storage compartment 300, a viewing window 311 is provided on the door 310.

[0044] The cabinet 100 is equipped with an electrically controlled lock 400 for controlling the locking state of the compartment door 310. The electrically controlled lock 400 is preferably an electromagnetic lock. To ensure that the compartment door 310 can automatically open after the electrically controlled lock 400 is unlocked, this embodiment selects an electromagnetic lock capable of automatically ejecting the compartment door 310. Such electromagnetic locks are widely used in express delivery lockers; therefore, the specific model is not described in this embodiment. Furthermore, to achieve the effect of automatically opening the compartment door 310, in addition to the aforementioned elastic electrically controlled lock, a torsion spring providing the opening tendency force of the compartment door 310 can also be provided at the rotatable connection position between the storage compartment 300 and the compartment door 310, or a repulsive magnet can be provided between the storage compartment 300 and the compartment door 310.

[0045] The front of the cabinet 100 is equipped with an authentication device 500 for controlling the unlocking of the electronic lock 400. The authentication device 500 is one or more of a camera 510, a fingerprint collector 520, and a card reader. In this embodiment, the authentication device 500 is either a camera 510 or a fingerprint collector 520. For ease of operation and accuracy of data collection, the camera 510 is positioned above the display 200, and the fingerprint collector 520 is positioned below the display 200.

[0046] Furthermore, to avoid impacting efficiency by requiring additional charging and data export operations for the law enforcement device, a USB cable 600 is provided within the storage compartment 300 for connecting to the device for charging, data storage, and identity data transfer. Data transfer is preferably automatic upon connection, eliminating manual operation and improving convenience. The authentication device 500, USB cable 600, and electric lock 400 are all electrically connected to the control host. After law enforcement personnel authenticate their identities using the authentication device 500, the control host can transmit the identity information to the law enforcement device via the USB cable 600, binding the device to the personnel. This approach changes the traditional model of binding law enforcement personnel to fixed devices, enabling flexible pairing of devices and reducing the required number of devices.

[0047] Furthermore, the cabinet 100 is equipped with indicator lights 700 for using different colors to indicate the status of the storage compartment 300 or to provide alarm prompts. Each indicator light 700 corresponds one-to-one with a storage compartment 300. In this embodiment, the indicator lights 700 are uniformly positioned below each storage compartment 300. Different colors allow law enforcement personnel to know the status within the storage compartment 300. When there is no law enforcement device in the storage compartment 300, the indicator light 700 is off; a red light indicates the law enforcement device is electrically connected; a green light indicates full charge; and a yellow light indicates data transmission. This embodiment is merely an example; other statuses requiring display can be indicated using different colors.

[0048] The control unit is built into the cabinet 100, and the display 200 is connected to the control unit to display the control interface. Through the control interface, users can select to retrieve or store the law enforcement device. Clicking the retrieval or storage operation activates the authentication device 500, which, upon successful authentication, unlocks the electric lock 400 of the corresponding storage compartment 300's door 310. Furthermore, the control interface allows users to view information about the law enforcement device, including charging status, storage usage, presence of anomalies, and data transmission status.

[0049] In addition, the base plate 320 inside the storage compartment 300 is equipped with a weight sensor 800 for working with the USB connection cable 600 to control the locking of the electric lock 400. It also includes a detection module 900 for detecting whether the USB connection cable 600 is electrically connected. The detection module 900 can check the current or voltage of the USB connection cable 600, or it can use other detection methods, as long as it can detect that the law enforcement device is connected to the USB connection cable 600.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the detection module 900 and the weight sensor 800 are connected to the first relay K1 via NOR gates or XOR gates. The NOR gate outputs 1 when both inputs are the same, and the XOR gate outputs 0 when both inputs are the same. Therefore, abnormal states can be detected using these two circuits, thereby controlling the electric lock 400. In an abnormal state, the state of the first relay K1 is continuously changed, preventing the electric lock 400 from being locked.

[0051] In this embodiment, the XOR gate circuit is used as an example. If the NOR gate circuit is used, the NPN transistor can be replaced with a PNP transistor, that is, the high-level control can be changed to the low-level control.

[0052] When the detection module 900 outputs a no-charging signal and the weight sensor 800 outputs a heavy object signal, the first relay controls the electric lock 400 to unlock and the indicator light 700 to sound an alarm. This prevents the storage device from being placed in the storage compartment 300 but the door 310 from being closed without the USB cable 600 connected. Conversely, when the USB cable 600 is connected and the weight sensor 800 detects an object, or when the USB cable 600 is disconnected and the weight sensor 800 does not detect an object, the electric lock 400 remains locked. In these situations, closing the door 310 will lock it. The indicator light 700 can sound an alarm by flashing.

[0053] The authentication device 500 is used to control the electric lock 400. The second relay K2 and the first relay K1 are connected in series to ensure that the two can independently control the unlocking of the electric lock 400. Since the electric lock 400 uses power-off unlocking, both the second relay K2 and the first relay K1 are normally closed relays, remaining energized when no unlocking signal is received.

[0054] Through the above settings, the common control circuit formed by the USB cable 600 and the weight sensor 800 is connected in series with the control circuit of the authentication device 500 and the electric lock 400.

[0055] The storage compartment 300 has a mounting cavity for the weight sensor 800. In order to facilitate quick and easy installation and removal of the base plate 320, the base plate 320 is vertically mounted in the storage compartment 300 and abuts against the weight sensor 800 under the action of gravity.

[0056] The base plate 320 has downwardly extending guide plates 321 at one end of the opening of the storage compartment 300 and on the adjacent two sides. The guide plates 321 are provided to ensure that the base plate 320 is horizontal and to create a shielding effect, completely concealing the mounting cavity.

[0057] The back of the storage compartment 300 is provided with a cable passage 330 for the cable to pass through and a cable threading port 340 for the USB connection cable 600 to pass through. The cable passage 330 is located below the base plate 320, and the cable threading port 340 is located above the base plate 320.

[0058] The cable pass-through port 340 allows the USB cable 600 to pass through, but not the connector of the USB cable 600. The cable guide port 330 is connected to the cable pass-through port 340.

[0059] Additionally, the back of the base plate 320 and the storage compartment 300 abut against each other has a clearance opening 322 that allows the USB cable 600 to pass through, but prevents the connector of the USB cable 600 from passing through. Thus, when installing the base plate 320, the USB cable 600 is positioned within the clearance opening 322. After the base plate 320 is fully installed, it restricts the USB cable 600 to the cable entry opening 340, ensuring that the USB cable 600 remains within the storage compartment 300 and preventing it from being pulled out of the storage compartment 300 through the cable entry opening 330.

[0060] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
