[0002] A smart tool cabinet is an intelligent device for storing and retrieving tools. Users can perform inbound and outbound management operations such as tool issuance, return, and inventory on the smart tool cabinet, making it one of the necessary devices for intelligent tool management. Currently, the tool return process for smart tool cabinets on the market involves first verifying the cabinet opening, placing the tool in the designated location, and then closing the cabinet door to complete the return. Placing the tool in the designated location requires the user to first find the matching spot for the item before placing the tool in, which significantly impacts the efficiency of tool return and hinders rapid tool return and inventory management. Therefore, it fails to meet the need for efficient tool inbound and outbound management.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an intelligent tool cabinet that uses ultra-high frequency technology for warehouse entry and exit management.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An intelligent tool cabinet using ultra-high frequency technology for inbound and outbound management is provided, comprising: a cabinet body, a control system installed on the cabinet body, a cabinet door installed on the cabinet body, and an electric lock installed on the door frame corresponding to the cabinet door. The control system is electrically connected to the electric lock. An identification module is installed inside the cabinet body, and identification elements are installed on the tools stored in the cabinet body. The identification module is electrically connected to the control system, and the identification module identifies the identification elements and transmits the identification results to the control system.

[0006] Furthermore, the identification module employs an ultra-high frequency RFID kit, and the identification element employs an RFID chip.

[0007] Furthermore, the cabinet includes a control cabinet and a storage cabinet located next to the control cabinet. The control system and identification module are located on the control cabinet, the cabinet door and electric lock are located on the storage cabinet, and the tools are stored in the storage cabinet.

[0008] Furthermore, the number of storage cabinets is one or more, and the storage cabinets are located on one or both sides of the control cabinet.

[0009] Furthermore, the cabinet is made of aluminum alloy.

[0010] Furthermore, the control system includes: an intelligent control panel disposed on the cabinet and a lock control plate disposed inside the cabinet, wherein the intelligent control panel is electrically connected to the identification module and the lock control plate, and the lock control plate is electrically connected to the electric lock.

[0011] Furthermore, the electronically controlled lock includes: a cathode lock body disposed on the cabinet body and a buckle disposed on the cabinet door. When the cabinet door is closed, the buckle is embedded in the cathode lock body, and the cathode lock body is electrically connected to the control system.

[0012] By adopting the above solution, this utility model uses an identification module to detect and identify the identification element bound to the tool, and feeds back the corresponding detection information to the control system to realize the tool's entry into the warehouse and inventory. This reduces the efficiency delay caused by placing the tool in the matching position when returning the tool, and effectively meets the needs of efficient tool entry and exit management. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides an intelligent tool cabinet for inbound and outbound management using ultra-high frequency technology, comprising: a cabinet body 1, a control system 2 installed on the cabinet body 1, a cabinet door 3 installed on the cabinet body 1, and an electric lock installed on the door frame corresponding to the cabinet door 3 of the cabinet body 1. The control system 2 is electrically connected to the electric lock. An identification module 4 is installed inside the cabinet body 1, and identification elements are installed on the tools stored in the cabinet body 1. The identification module 4 is electrically connected to the control system 2, and the identification module 4 identifies the identification elements and transmits the identification results to the control system 2.

[0016] When tools need to be retrieved from the intelligent tool cabinet, the electronic lock is unlocked via control system 2 to open cabinet door 3, allowing the tools to be taken out of cabinet 1. Cabinet door 3 is then closed, and the electronic lock re-locks it. When returning tools, the electronic lock is unlocked via control system 2 to open cabinet door 3, allowing the tools to be placed in cabinet 1. At this time, identification module 4 detects and identifies the identification elements on the tools. After cabinet door 3 is closed and the electronic lock is engaged, the corresponding detection information is fed back to control system 2, realizing the tool's storage and inventory.

[0017] In some embodiments, the identification module 4 employs an ultra-high frequency RFID kit, and the identification element employs an RFID chip.

[0018] RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a non-contact data communication between a reader and a tag to identify targets. In this invention, an ultra-high frequency RFID kit is used as a reader installed in cabinet 1 to identify and detect the RFID chip on the tool. The detection of the RFID chip information on the corresponding tool is used as the basis for determining whether the tool is in stock, thereby changing the stock status of the corresponding tool in control system 2.

[0019] When a tool with an RFID chip is placed in cabinet 1, the UHF RFID kit detects the RFID chip data and transmits the detected information back to control system 2. Control system 2 then displays the tool bound to the RFID chip as "in stock." When cabinet door 3 is opened, a tool is taken from cabinet 1, and cabinet door 3 is closed, the UHF RFID kit identifies the RFID chip on the tool inside cabinet 1 and sends the identification result to control system 2. Control system 2 compares the in-stock status of each tool before cabinet door 3 was opened to determine which tool was taken out and changes the corresponding tool's storage status in control system 2 to "in use." When a tool is returned to cabinet 1 and cabinet door 3 is closed, the UHF RFID kit identifies the RFID chip on the tool inside cabinet 1 and sends the identification result to control system 2. Control system 2 compares the in-stock status of each tool before cabinet door 3 was opened to determine which tool was returned and changes the corresponding tool's storage status in control system 2 to "in stock."

[0020] In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 includes a control cabinet 11 and a storage cabinet 12 disposed next to the control cabinet 11. The control system 2 and the identification module 4 are disposed on the control cabinet 11, and the cabinet door 3 and the electric lock are disposed on the storage cabinet 12. Tools are stored in the storage cabinet 12. Dividing the control cabinet 11 and the storage cabinet 12 into two independent cabinets 1 prevents the circuitry within the control cabinet 11 from being exposed to the user when the cabinet door 3 is open, thus avoiding malicious damage to the control system 2 and improving the overall aesthetics. Simultaneously, the independent placement of the control cabinet 11 and the storage cabinet 12 also enhances overall security, preventing injury due to electrical leakage or other abnormalities when users retrieve or store tools.

[0021] In some embodiments, the number of storage cabinets 12 is one or more, and the storage cabinets 12 are disposed on one or both sides of the control cabinet 11. During installation, the positions of the storage cabinets 12 and the control cabinet 11 can be customized according to usage habits. In a specific embodiment, when the number of storage cabinets 12 is one or more, the storage cabinets 12 are generally disposed on both sides of the control cabinet 11 to ensure that the UHF RFID kit can effectively identify the RFID chip in each storage cabinet 12, avoiding misjudgments of tool entry and exit, especially of tools in storage cabinets 12 that are far away from the storage cabinet 12.

[0022] In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 is made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has high strength and hardness, and can withstand greater weight and pressure, making it suitable for cabinet 1 designs that require load-bearing capacity. Aluminum alloy has a low density, and compared to other metal materials, an aluminum alloy cabinet 1 of the same volume is lighter, making it easier to handle and install, and also reducing the burden on the supporting structure.

[0023] In some embodiments, the control system 2 includes: an intelligent control panel 21 disposed on the cabinet 1, and a lock control plate 22 disposed inside the cabinet 1. The intelligent control panel 21 is electrically connected to the identification module 4 and the lock control plate 22, and the lock control plate 22 is electrically connected to the electric lock. When a user needs to retrieve or place tools, the electric lock can be unlocked via the intelligent control panel 21. Simultaneously, the intelligent control panel 21 allows direct viewing of the types and quantities of tools stored in the cabinet 1, eliminating the need for the user to open the cabinet door 3 to confirm tool availability, thus improving tool borrowing efficiency. The lock control plate 22 can drive the electric lock to perform corresponding locking and unlocking actions based on the control signals emitted by the intelligent control panel 21, satisfying the locking and opening requirements of the cabinet door 3.

[0024] In some optional embodiments, the electronic lock includes: a cathode lock body disposed on the cabinet 1 and a latch disposed on the cabinet door 3. When the cabinet door 3 is closed, the latch is embedded in the cathode lock body, and the cathode lock body is electrically connected to the control system. When the user closes the cabinet door 3, the latch is embedded in the cathode lock body, and the cathode lock body locks and limits the latch, thereby locking and fixing the cabinet door 3. When it is necessary to open the cabinet door 3, the lock control board receives the unlocking signal from the intelligent control panel and sends a corresponding control signal to the cathode lock body through the RS-485 interface, causing the cathode lock body to unlock and release the latch, making it easy to open the cabinet door 3 and meet the needs of accessing and placing tools in the cabinet 1. Compared with the anode lock, the overall structure of the cathode lock body is more compact and smaller, which can avoid occupying space in the cabinet 1, and the locking is quick. It is less likely that the cabinet door 3 will not be able to close properly due to the failure of the electronic lock, ensuring the effective storage of tools stored in the cabinet 1.

[0025] In summary, this utility model uses an identification module to detect and identify the identification elements attached to the tool, and feeds the corresponding detection information back to the control system to realize the tool's entry into the warehouse and inventory. This reduces the efficiency delay caused by placing the tool in the matching position when returning it, and effectively meets the needs of efficient tool entry and exit management.

[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
