[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0029] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0030] Example 1: This utility model provides a device storage cabinet based on RFID identification and charging functions, including a cabinet body 1. A mobile power supply 2 is provided on the internal top plate of the cabinet body 1. The mobile power supply 2 is provided with spaced-apart plug ports 3. The left and right opposite side plates inside the cabinet body 1 are provided with spaced-apart support plates 4. Each support plate 4 is provided with a vertical mounting hole 5. A charging base 6 is provided on the support plate 4.

[0031] The top of the charging base 6 is provided with a mating slot 7, and the bottom of the mating slot 7 is provided with a charging head 8. The PDA device 9 is inserted into the charging head 8 inside the charging base 6. The charging head 8 is connected to the power bank 2 through a wire. The height of each support plate 4 is different, and the support plate 4 closer to the back panel of the cabinet 1 is taller.

[0032] It should be noted that, through the cabinet 1, a support plate 4 is set inside the cabinet 1, and the charging base 6 is slidably installed on the support plate 4. The charging base 6 is provided with a mating slot 7 for inserting the PDA device 9. The PDA device 9 and the charging head 8 cooperate with each other, and the power bank 2 is electrically connected to the charging head 8. Thus, the PDA devices 9 can be placed inside the cabinet 1 for charging and can be managed as a whole.

[0033] Furthermore, multiple PDA devices 9 can be placed on a single support plate 4 and can slide on the support plate 4, thereby adjusting the position of the PDA devices 9. At the same time, the support plate 4 is designed with different heights, with the support plate 4 being taller towards the inside of the cabinet 1, so that the PDA devices 9 behind can be charged and retrieved more easily during the charging process.

[0034] In this embodiment, the bottom of the charging base 6 is symmetrically provided with limiting strips 10. The vertical section of the limiting strip 10 is an inverted "T" shape. The vertical section of the limiting strip 10 passes through the mounting hole 5, and the horizontal section is movably attached to the bottom of the support plate 4.

[0035] It should be noted that the limiting strip 10 can restrict the charging base 6 to the support plate 4. At the same time, the mounting hole 5 is a horizontally extending elongated through hole, which allows the charging base 6 to slide along the mounting hole 5, thereby adjusting the position of the charging base 6 and facilitating the adjustment of the charging position.

[0036] In this embodiment, the vertical cross-sectional profile of the mating slot 7 is an inclined groove, and it gradually slopes upwards towards the back panel of the cabinet 1 from the bottom. The charging base 6 is provided with a mounting plate 11 that is parallel to the mating slot 7 on the side near the back panel of the cabinet 1. The mounting plate 11 is provided with a reader 12 on the side near the PDA device 9.

[0037] It should be noted that the inclined slot is designed with an angle of 5-10 degrees, which makes it easier to insert the PDA device 9 into the mating slot 7 and also makes it easier to remove it after charging is complete.

[0038] In this embodiment, the back of the PDA device 9 is provided with an RFID tag 13. After the PDA device 9 is inserted into the charging dock 6 for charging, the RFID tag 13 is positioned opposite the reader 12.

[0039] It should be noted that by setting a reader 12 on the mounting plate 11 and setting an RFID tag 13 on the back of the PDA device 9, the RFID tag 13 stores a unique ID (such as an EPC code). The reader 12 is responsible for reading / writing tag data. When the PDA device 9 is placed in the system for the first time, the reader 12 reads the ID information in the RFID tag 13 and associates it with the PDA file (such as model and user department) in the management system. Only registered PDA devices 9 can trigger charging. Specifically, when the reader 12 verifies that the RFID tag 13 is a registered device, it triggers the power bank 2 to supply power to the corresponding charging head 8. If the RFID verification fails, the power supply to the charging head 8 is cut off, which can effectively prevent unauthorized devices from occupying resources and improve security.

[0040] In this embodiment, a positioning frame 14 is provided on the inner bottom plate of the cabinet 1, and the mobile power supply 2 is placed inside the positioning frame 14.

[0041] It should be noted that, through the positioning frame 14, the power bank 2 is placed inside the positioning frame 14, one end of the power cord is plugged into the plug port 3, and the other end is connected to the charging head 8. Thus, when the PDA device 9 and the charging head 8 are matched, the power bank 2 will charge the PDA device 9. When the power bank 2 is low on power, it can also be taken out of the positioning frame 14.

[0042] In this embodiment, the top plate of the cabinet 1 is provided with spaced heat dissipation holes 15, and a dustproof net 16 installed on the top of the cabinet 1 is provided above the heat dissipation holes 15.

[0043] It should be noted that, through the heat dissipation holes 15, when a large number of PDA devices 9 are being charged, the heat dissipation holes 15 can dissipate heat and prevent the internal temperature of the cabinet 1 from becoming too high. The dustproof net 16 also reduces the amount of external dust entering the cabinet 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, the front end face of the cabinet 1 is provided with a movable door 17 that is rotatably connected by a shaft. The movable door 17 is provided with a vertical magnetic strip 18 on the side wall of the cabinet 1 away from the shaft. The movable door 17 is attracted to the cabinet 1 by the magnetic strip 18. The outer door panel of the cabinet 1 is provided with an access control controller 19.

[0045] It should be noted that the cabinet 1 can be opened and closed through the movable door 17. Magnetic strips 18 are set on the movable door 17 and the cabinet 1. The movable door 17 can be attached to the cabinet 1 by magnetic attraction, and it can also be opened easily, making the operation convenient.

[0046] The access control controller 19 uses both password buttons and card swipes. On the one hand, it makes it convenient for medical staff to open the cabinet door and take out the PDA device 9 in different ways. On the other hand, it can also prevent unauthorized personnel from taking the PDA device 9 and improve the security of the PDA device 9.

[0047] The embodiments of this utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
