[0019] Combined with appendix Figures 1-4 A fabric storage and counting box includes a storage box mechanism, an inner box mechanism, and a counting mechanism.
[0020] The storage box mechanism includes a storage box body 1 with internal storage space. The side walls and top surface of the storage box body 1 are provided with openings 9 that communicate with its storage space. The opening 9 on the side wall of the storage box body 1 is provided with an openable and closable door 3. An electronic lock 4 can be installed on the side wall to unlock the door 3 by entering user ID information. The top surface of the door 3 is provided with a switch assembly for opening and closing another opening 9. The inner box mechanism includes a placement box 10 located in the storage space of the storage box body 1. The bottom surface of the placement box 10 is provided with casters 2 for movement. The top of the placement box 10 is provided with a pick-up and drop-off opening located below the opening 9 on the top surface of the storage box body 1. A counting mechanism is installed on the storage box body 1 and located on one side of the opening 9 on the top surface of the storage box body 1 to count the number of fabrics put in through the opening 9.
[0021] In one embodiment of this utility model, the switch assembly includes symmetrically arranged grooves 8 on the top surface of the storage box body 1. The grooves 8 are arranged on both sides of the opening 9 on the top surface of the storage box body 1. A switch plate 7 that can cover the opening 9 is slidably arranged in the grooves 8. The top surface of the storage box body 1 is also provided with an electric telescopic rod 5 connected to the switch plate 7. Specifically, as shown... Figures 1-2As shown, the fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 5 is installed on the top surface of the storage box body 1, and the movable end is fixedly connected to the top surface of the switch plate 7. When the electric telescopic rod 5 extends or retracts, it can drive the switch plate 7 to slide smoothly in the slide groove 8, thereby opening and closing the opening 9 on the top surface of the storage box body 1. This electrically controlled switching method is easy to operate and can effectively reduce manual contact and reduce the risk of secondary pollution.
[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, the side wall of the storage box 10 is provided with a handle and its bottom surface is provided with a first magnetic block 11, and the main body of the storage box 1 is provided with a second magnetic block 13 that cooperates with the first magnetic block 11. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figures 3-4 As shown, by pulling the handle on the side wall of the placement box 10, the placement box 10 can be easily pulled out or pushed into the storage box body 1, which facilitates the handling of fabrics and the cleaning and maintenance of the placement box 10. By using the attraction between the first magnetic block 11 and the second magnetic block 13, the position of the placement box 10 in the storage box body 1 can be fixed and will not easily shake.
[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, the counting mechanism includes a counting sensor 12 disposed on the side of the top opening 9 of the storage box body 1. The storage box body 1 is also provided with a control module 6 with a display screen and a battery 14. The control module 6 is electrically connected to the counting sensor 12, the battery 14, and the electric telescopic rod 5. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the counting sensor 12 can be an infrared photoelectric sensor, such as the E3F-DS30C4 photoelectric sensor. This sensor consists of a transmitter and a receiver, which are installed on both sides of the opening 9 on the top surface of the storage box body 1. When fabrics are put in one by one, the infrared light will be blocked when a fabric is put in through the opening 9, and the receiver will not receive a signal. At this time, the counting sensor 12 will send a pulse signal to the control module 6. The control module 6 counts the pulse signals and displays them on the display screen. The battery 14 provides power to the entire system, ensuring that the device can work normally without an external power supply. The control module 6 can be a microcontroller, such as the STM32 series microcontroller, which has the advantages of strong data processing capability and low power consumption. It can accurately process the signal from the counting sensor 12 and control the movement of the electric telescopic rod 5.
[0024] In summary, this utility model achieves an efficient combination of fabric storage and counting through a reasonable structural design. The storage box mechanism has an openable and closable door 3 and a switch assembly for convenient fabric loading and storage. The inner box mechanism's placement box 10, through the cooperation of the first magnetic block 11 and the second magnetic block 13, enables flexible pulling and is easy to clean. The counting mechanism uses infrared photoelectric sensors and other technologies to accurately count the loaded fabrics. The entire device is easy to operate, reduces manual contact, and effectively reduces the risk of secondary pollution.
