Detailed Implementation
[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, an AED storage box with alarm function includes a storage box 1. The storage box 1 for storing AEDs has a placement plate 10 on the bottom side inside. Pressure sensors 11 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the placement plate 10.
[0030] The lower end of the cabinet door 2 is also fitted with a buzzer 5 and an alarm light 6; a door magnetic sensor 12 is installed at the cabinet door 2 of the storage box 1 by screws; the door magnetic sensor 12 is located on the inner side of the cabinet door 2 with a handle lock 3; the door magnetic sensor 12, buzzer 5, alarm light 6, infrared sensor 7 and pressure sensor 11 are all electrically connected to the controller 8.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, under normal circumstances, when the AED is placed on the placement plate 10, the pressure sensor 11 senses the weight under the pressure of gravity, thus proving the presence of the AED; after the door 2 is closed, the door 2 is in contact with the door magnetic sensor 12. The controller 8 reports the current location and cabinet status to the background management system every 1-2 minutes.
[0032] When the cabinet door 2 is opened, the door magnetic sensor 12 loses its sensing of the door 2; or when the AED is removed, the pressure sensor 11 senses the loss of weight. In these cases, the controller 8 sends a command, the buzzer 5 and alarm light 6 sound an alarm, and every 5 seconds sends a "cabinet door opened event" alarm to the backend management system. The loud alarm can attract the attention of surrounding people; in the event of a theft, it serves as a deterrent; in the event of a normal rescue, it can attract more attention and assistance.
[0033] In this embodiment, one end of the box door 2 is movably connected to the storage box 1 via a hinge, and the other end is provided with a handle lock 3.
[0034] The handle lock 3 is a common rotary lock, which only serves to close the door 2 and the storage box 1. No key is required; it can be opened by rotating the handle. This ensures that the door 2 is easy to open and prevents the door 2 from being opened by itself.
[0035] In this embodiment, a rectangular window is provided in the middle of the door 2 on the outside of the storage box 1, and a transparent glass is installed therein; infrared sensors 7 are provided on both sides of the rectangular window, and the infrared sensors 7 are installed on the door 2.
[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, when the handle lock 3 is jammed and cannot be opened normally, and the transparent glass is broken, or when someone intentionally and violently breaks the transparent glass to remove the AED, the pressure sensor 11 senses the loss of weight; the infrared sensor 7 is an infrared beam sensor, and when the AED is removed, if the beam of light blocking the infrared sensor 7 is blocked, it proves that the AED has been removed and triggers an alarm.
[0037] If the AED device is removed from storage box 1, controller 8 sends a "Device Removed Event" alarm to the backend management system every 5 seconds. The associated regional manager will receive an SMS notification, at which point the regional manager can go to the device's location to check and provide rescue assistance if necessary. In the event of theft, measures will be taken to stop it as quickly as possible.
[0038] In this embodiment, the rear side of the box door 2 is fixed to the mounting bracket 9 by bolts; the mounting bracket 9 is fixed to the building body by expansion bolts.
[0039] In this embodiment, the controller 8 has a transparent protective shell, inside which are a power module 13, a microcontroller 14, an IoT communication module 15, and a positioning module 16.
[0040] A door magnetic sensor 12 is installed at the door 2 of the storage box 1 by screws; the door magnetic sensor 12 is located on the inside of the end of the door 2 where the handle lock 3 is located; the door magnetic sensor 12 is electrically connected to the controller 8.
[0041] More specifically, the controller 8 has a transparent protective shell, inside which are a power module 13, a microcontroller 14, an IoT communication module 15, and a positioning module 16.
[0042] The microcontroller 14 is the central hub of the system, which processes sensor signals, controls alarm devices, drives communication modules, and executes timed reporting and event-triggered reporting logic.
[0043] IoT communication module: Communicates with the back-end management system via protocols such as GPRS / NB-IoT to send location, status and alarm information.
[0044] Door magnetic sensor: When the cabinet door is opened, the level changes and sends a "door open" signal to the microcontroller 14.
[0045] By adopting the above technical solutions, the anti-theft features of AEDs are enhanced, and the back-end system can uniformly view and manage AED devices distributed in various locations. With the back-end system, it is also possible to coordinate assistance from all parties for rescue measures.
[0046] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Under normal circumstances, when the AED is placed on the placement plate 10, the pressure sensor 11 senses the weight under the pressure of gravity, thus proving the presence of the AED; after the cabinet door 2 is closed, the cabinet door 2 is in contact with the door magnetic sensor 12. The controller 8 reports the current location and cabinet status to the background management system every 1-2 minutes.
[0047] When the cabinet door 2 is opened, the door magnetic sensor 12 loses its sensing of the door 2; or when the AED is removed, the pressure sensor 11 senses the loss of weight. In these cases, the controller 8 sends a command, the buzzer 5 and alarm light 6 sound an alarm, and every 5 seconds sends a "cabinet door opened" alarm to the backend management system. The loud alarm can attract the attention of those nearby; in the event of a theft, it serves as a deterrent; in the event of a normal rescue, it can attract more attention and assistance.
[0048] If the AED device is removed from storage box 1, controller 8 sends a "Device Removed Event" alarm to the backend management system every 5 seconds. The associated regional manager will receive an SMS notification, at which point the regional manager can go to the device's location to check and provide rescue assistance if necessary. In the event of theft, measures will be taken to stop it as quickly as possible.
[0049] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0050] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
