[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor cabinet technology, and in particular to an intelligent cabinet with monitoring function. Background Technology
[0002] my country's rapid socio-economic development and people's increasing pursuit of production efficiency and quality of life have rendered existing technologies in various components of society insufficient to meet the demands of this rapid progress. Whether it's land resources, community security, environmental monitoring and protection, circuit inspection, forest fire fighting, highway patrol, or accident investigation, all areas are facing higher demands due to societal advancements. Drones, with their advantages of low cost, high survivability, and good maneuverability, have a strong advantage in repetitive and tedious tasks such as long-term monitoring and large-scale fixed-point patrols. Therefore, China is following international trends and vigorously developing the drone market. Outdoor monitoring cabinets, as public facilities used for park and street surveillance, outdoor billboard control, and security, primarily serve as centralized data management systems. Their perception of the surrounding physical environment is weak and limited, making them unsuitable for effective monitoring of terrain and special locations, such as construction sites. Therefore, it is necessary to combine drones with these monitoring cabinets to expand their application scope. Utility Model Content

[0015] like Figures 1-2As shown, a smart cabinet with monitoring function includes a cabinet 1, a cabin 2, and a patrol drone 3. The cabin 2 is installed on top of the cabinet 1, and the patrol drone 3 is placed inside the cabin 2. The patrol drone 3 integrates an infrared camera 31, a temperature sensor 32, a humidity sensor 33, and a particulate matter sensor 34. The patrol drone 3 wirelessly communicates with the controller inside the cabinet 1 to complete data transmission. The cabin 2 includes a cover 21, a guide rail 22, a charging base 23, a drive motor 24, and a sealing plate 25. Two guide rails 22 are arranged side by side with intervals between them. A charging base 23 is installed between the two guide rails 22 for wireless charging of the cruise drone 3. The cover 21 is movably connected to the guide rails 22. A rack 211 is provided on the inner side of the cover 21 along the direction of the guide rails 22. The output end of the drive motor 24 meshes with the rack 211, driving the cover 21 to reciprocate linearly along the guide rails 22. Two sealing plates 25 are installed side by side with intervals at both ends of the guide rails 22, forming a sealed space with the guide rails 22 and the cover 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cabinet 1 is made of sheet metal welded together to protect the electrical equipment installed in the cabinet 1. A cabin 2 is installed on the top of the cabinet 1 to accommodate the cruise drone 3, preventing the cruise drone 3 from being exposed and easily stolen or damaged. It also facilitates the take-off and landing management of the cruise drone 3. When the cruise drone 3 is parked in the cabin 2, it is also convenient to exchange wireless data with the electronic equipment in the cabinet 1. Our designed cabin 2 includes a cover 21, guide rails 22, a charging base 23, a drive motor 24, and a sealing plate 25. The cover 21 is slidably connected to the two guide rails 22. When the cover 21 is open, the cruise drone 3 can take off and land normally, conducting fixed-point cruises around the cabinet 1 and observing the surrounding environmental data. The environmental data is specifically obtained through an infrared camera 31, a temperature sensor 32, a humidity sensor 33, and a particulate matter sensor 34 installed on the cruise drone 3. The infrared camera 31 is used to monitor outdoor heat sources to prevent fires and can also be used for outdoor search and rescue operations in emergencies. The temperature sensor 32 and humidity sensor 33 are used to detect the temperature and humidity around the cabinet 1, and the particulate matter sensor 34 is used to detect the air quality around the cabinet 1. By using the cruise drone, the detection and monitoring range of the surrounding environment of the cabinet 1 is greatly expanded. The opening and closing of the cabin 2 is achieved by the drive motor 24. The output end of the drive motor 24 meshes with the rack 211. When the drive motor 24 is working, it drives the cover 21 to reciprocate along the guide rail 22 through the rack 211, covering the charging base 23. The charging base 23 serves to wirelessly charge the cruise drone 3 and also provides support. The sealing plate 25, together with the guide rail 22, seals the entire cabin 2, preventing rainwater from entering the cabin 2 in rainy weather.
[0016] like Figures 1-2As shown, the cabinet 1 has heat dissipation holes 11 on both sides for dissipating heat from the electrical equipment inside the cabinet 1. In order to prevent rainwater from entering through the heat dissipation holes 11 and to achieve outdoor waterproof function, we can also install rainproof covers and drip edges on the heat dissipation holes 11 to block rainwater from dripping vertically.
[0017] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the outer surface of the cover 21 is provided with a slope, and a hydrophobic layer is coated on the slope surface. Specifically, the slope can prevent water from accumulating on the outer surface of the cover 21, which would cause the cover 21 to rust, and the hydrophobic layer can extend the service life of the cover 21 and improve the corrosion resistance of the cover 21 outdoors.
[0018] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the edge of the cover 21 is provided with a water-blocking edge 212. The water-blocking edge 212 is provided along the direction of the guide rail 22 and is located at the bottom of the slope. It covers the guide rail 22 to prevent the guide rail 22 from being exposed to the outside and corroded and rusted by rainwater.
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner side of the cover 21 is provided with a sliding groove 213 that matches the guide rail 22, and the rack 211 is installed on the outer side of the sliding groove 213. The sliding groove 213 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 22 to prevent the cover 21 from jamming during displacement. The rack 211 is installed on the side of the sliding groove 213 to facilitate matching with the drive motor 24 with its output end facing vertically upward.
[0020] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
