Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hotel room card storage technology, and in particular to a room card storage device for hotel management. Background Technology

[0002] Hotel management refers to the operation and supervision of hotels and their related businesses. It is a comprehensive applied discipline that involves planning, organizing, leading, coordinating, and controlling all hotel resources and departments (such as front office, guest rooms, food and beverage, marketing and sales, human resources, finance, etc.). Its aim is to meet guests' needs by providing high-quality services and products, while maximizing economic benefits (i.e., profitability) and enhancing brand value for hotel owners.

[0003] In hotel management, the storage of room cards is crucial. Traditionally, multiple room cards are stored side by side in a box. As guests check in, staff need to retrieve the cards. When the number of cards in the box is low, the cards tend to tip over to the bottom, affecting subsequent retrieval. Therefore, a room card storage device for hotel management is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a room card storage device for hotel management, which effectively solves the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of the present invention provides a room card storage device for hotel management, including a support frame that can be lifted by hand, a vertical shaft installed in the middle of the top surface of the support frame, and a rotating frame that can rotate in a circle installed on its outside, and multiple room card storage boxes are installed in a circumferential array at the edge of the rotating frame.

[0006] A protruding plate is installed on one side of the top of the support frame, a baffle is installed on the bottom surface of the protruding plate, a limiting groove is opened on one side of the top surface of the protruding plate, and an ejector plate is slidably installed inside it, with the bottom end of the ejector plate abutting against the protruding plate.

[0007] Each of the room card storage boxes has a top cover snapped onto its top. Each of the room card storage boxes has a push-out groove on one side of its bottom surface that corresponds to the limiting groove. Each of the room card storage boxes has a limiting rod installed on the side near the vertical axis. Each of the room card storage boxes has a push plate slidably installed inside. Each of the push plates has two pins installed on its side. The other end of each pin is slidably connected to the limiting rod, and each pin has a first spring slidably connected to its outer wall.

[0008] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, an installation tube is installed on the bottom surface of the support frame near the protruding plate. The bottom end of the installation tube is closed. Inside the installation tube, a second spring and a limiting clip are installed sequentially from bottom to top. The limiting clip is stepped in shape, and its top end penetrates the support frame and enters the interior of the limiting rod. In this embodiment, the two sides of the top surface of the installation tube are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame by screws, which facilitates the stable installation of the installation tube on the support frame and also facilitates the limitation of the up and down movement of the second spring and the limiting clip. The top of the limiting clip is hemispherical, which facilitates the limiting rod to press down on the limiting clip when the operator pushes the rotating frame to rotate. When the room card storage box rotates to directly above the protruding plate, the limiting clip engages with the bottom end of the limiting rod under the pushing action of the second spring, and makes a "click" sound, which is convenient for prompting the operator to rotate to the correct position.

[0009] Preferably, the top surface of the vertical shaft is fixedly connected to a handle by a nut, and a gap is left between the outer wall of the handle and the rotating frame. This design makes it easy for the operator to lift the whole unit by the handle and move it. At the same time, the whole unit can be made of plastic, which makes the overall weight after assembly lighter, easier to manufacture by injection molding, and easier to assemble and use, thus facilitating its widespread use.

[0010] Preferably, the tops of the multiple room card storage boxes are stepped, and a gap is left between the end of the multiple top covers away from the vertical axis and the inner wall of the room card storage box. This design allows space to be reserved for the room cards to slide out from the gap, making it convenient for operators to take them out. The stepped structure at the top of the room card storage box also allows the top covers to be installed, so that the top surface of the top cover is flush with the top surface of the room card storage box, facilitating the removal of the room cards.

[0011] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, a locking block is installed at each of the four corners of the top of the multiple room card storage boxes, and a buckle that engages with the locking block is installed at each of the four corners of the multiple top covers. This solution facilitates the formation of a simple locking structure, making it convenient to install and remove the top cover. By snapping the buckle outward, the top cover can be separated from the locking block, making it easy to remove the top cover and place the room card inside the room card storage box.

[0012] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, two through holes are provided on the side of each of the room card storage boxes near the limiting rod, through which the first spring slides. This solution allows the first spring to apply its elastic force to the push plate with the limiting rod as a support point, thereby pushing the room card and preventing it from tipping over. It also keeps the room card close to the push-out slot, facilitating the subsequent push-out operation of the room card.

[0013] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the bottom end of the ejector plate is stepped, and two third springs are installed between one side of the bottom end of the ejector plate and the protruding plate. This design facilitates pushing the ejector plate upwards using the third springs. When a pushing force is applied to push the ejector plate upwards, the ejector plate moves upwards along the limiting groove and the ejection groove, removing the room card and compressing the third springs simultaneously. Releasing the pushing force causes the two third springs to release their elasticity, pushing the ejector plate downwards, and the top of the ejector plate exits the ejection groove, allowing the room card to re-adhere to the inner wall of the room card storage box, facilitating subsequent room card ejection operations.

[0014] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This hotel management room card storage device features a rotating frame with multiple room card holders installed along its edge. Each holder has a push plate inside, and a first spring applies pressure to the room card. When a card is needed, the holder is rotated to the top of a protruding plate, and then the push plate is pushed upwards. The top of the push plate passes through a limiting groove and a push groove, pushing the room card upwards for easy removal. Throughout the process, the first spring continuously pushes the multiple room cards to prevent them from tipping over, effectively solving the problems existing in the prior art. The device is simple, rationally designed, and facilitates the storage and retrieval of room cards.

[0016] 2. This hotel management room card storage device uses a rotating frame with multiple room card placement boxes installed at its edge to separate room cards from different floors, avoiding confusion. Simultaneously, an installation tube, a second spring, and a limit card are installed on one side of the support frame's bottom surface. The second spring pushes the limit card and engages with the limit rod, facilitating the positioning of the room card placement boxes' rotation and ensuring accurate alignment of the limit slot and the ejection slot for convenient subsequent room card ejection operations.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a room card storage device for hotel management includes a support frame 1 that can be lifted by hand. A vertical shaft is installed in the middle of the top surface of the support frame 1, and a rotating frame 9 that can rotate in a circle is installed on its outside. Multiple room card storage boxes 7 are installed in a circular array on the edge of the rotating frame 9, and a floor label 8 is installed on the side of each storage box 7 away from the vertical shaft. The floor label 8 makes it easy to mark the location of the room card on each floor, so that the operator can rotate the rotating frame 9 according to the number on the floor label 8 and select the room card of the specified floor.

[0027] A protruding plate 16 is installed on one side of the top of the support frame 1. A baffle 10 is installed on the bottom surface of the protruding plate 16. A limiting groove 17 is opened on one side of the top surface of the protruding plate 16, and an ejector plate 2 is slidably installed inside it. The bottom end of the ejector plate 2 abuts against the protruding plate 16. The baffle 10 is Z-shaped, and its top end is fixedly connected to the protruding plate 16 by screws. The bottom end of the protruding plate 16 is convenient to limit the bottom end of the ejector plate 2.

[0028] Each room card storage box 7 has a top cover 5 snapped onto its top. Each room card storage box 7 has a top groove on one side of its bottom surface that corresponds to the limiting groove 17. Each room card storage box 7 has a limiting rod 20 installed on the side near the vertical axis. Each room card storage box 7 has a push plate 11 slidably installed inside. Each push plate 11 has two pins 18 installed on its side. The pins 18 are placed horizontally, in pairs. The other end of each pin 18 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 20. Each pin 18 has a first spring 19 slidably connected to its outer wall.

[0029] A mounting tube 12 is installed on the bottom surface of the support frame 1 near the protruding plate 16. The bottom end of the mounting tube 12 is closed. Inside the mounting tube 12, a second spring 13 and a limiting clip 14 are installed sequentially from bottom to top. The limiting clip 14 is stepped in shape, and its top end penetrates the support frame 1 and enters the interior of the limiting rod 20. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the two sides of the top surface of the mounting tube 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame 1 by screws, thereby facilitating the stable installation of the mounting tube 12. On the support frame 1, the vertical movement of the second spring 13 and the limiting card 14 is limited. The top of the limiting card 14 is hemispherical. When the operator pushes the rotating frame 9 to rotate, the limiting rod 20 presses down on the limiting card 14. When the room card storage box 7 rotates to directly above the protruding plate 16, the limiting card 14 engages with the bottom end of the limiting rod 20 under the pushing action of the second spring 13, and makes a "click" sound, which helps to prompt the operator to rotate into place.

[0030] A handle 6 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the vertical shaft by a nut. A gap is left between the outer wall of the handle 6 and the rotating frame 9. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, this makes it easy for the operator to lift the whole through the handle 6 and move the position. At the same time, the whole material can be made of plastic, which makes the overall weight after assembly lighter, convenient for injection molding, easy to assemble and use, and easy to promote and use.

[0031] The tops of the multiple room card storage boxes 7 are all stepped, and there is a gap between the end of the multiple top covers 5 away from the vertical axis and the inner wall of the room card storage box 7. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, this makes it easier to reserve space for the room card to be pushed out, so that the room card can slide out from the gap and be easily taken out by the operator. The stepped structure at the top of the room card storage box 7 makes it easy for the top cover 5 to be installed in it, so that the top surface of the top cover 5 is flush with the top surface of the room card storage box 7, which facilitates the room card removal operation.

[0032] Each of the four corners of the top of the multiple room card storage boxes 7 is equipped with a card block 3, and each of the four corners of the multiple top covers 5 is equipped with a buckle 4 that engages with the card block 3. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, this facilitates the formation of a simple engagement structure, making it convenient to install and remove the top cover 5. By snapping the buckle 4 outward, the top cover 5 can be separated from the card block 3, making it easy to remove the top cover 5 and place the room card inside the room card storage box 7.

[0033] Each of the multiple room card storage boxes 7 has two through holes on the side near the limiting rod 20 for the first spring 19 to slide through. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, this allows the first spring 19 to apply the elastic force of the first spring 19 to the push plate 11 with the limiting rod 20 as the support point, thereby pushing the room card and preventing the room card from tipping over. It also keeps the room card close to the push-out slot, which facilitates the push-out operation of the room card later.

[0034] The bottom of the ejector plate 2 has a stepped shape. Two third springs 15 are installed between one side of the bottom of the ejector plate 2 and the protruding plate 16. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, this facilitates the ejector plate 2 to be pushed by the third springs 15. When the pushing force is applied and the ejector plate 2 is pressed upward, the ejector plate 2 moves upward along the limiting groove 17 and the ejection groove to remove the room card, while compressing the third springs 15. When the pushing force is released, the two third springs 15 release their elasticity, pushing the ejector plate 2 downward, and the top of the ejector plate 2 exits the ejection groove, so that the room card can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the room card storage box 7, which facilitates the subsequent ejection operation of the room card.

[0035] This hotel room key storage device requires the following steps to be used:

[0036] 1) When using, place the room cards for each floor into the corresponding room card storage box 7 and install the top cover 5 to store the room cards;

[0037] 2) When taking it out, rotate the rotating frame 9 so that the room card placement box 7 of the corresponding floor rotates to the position of the protruding plate 16, and the top of the limiting card 14 is engaged with the bottom of the limiting rod 20.

[0038] 3) Pull the ejector plate 2 upwards. The ejector plate 2 will move upwards into the limiting groove 17 and the ejector groove in sequence. Push a room card upwards. The top of the room card will protrude from the top of the cover 5, making it convenient for the operator to take it out.

[0039] In summary, when in use, the rotating frame 9 has multiple room card holders 7 installed at its edge. Each room card holder 7 has a push plate 11 installed inside. Simultaneously, a first spring 19 applies pressure to the room card. When retrieving the card, the user rotates the designated room card holder 7 to directly above the protruding plate 16, then pushes the ejector plate 2 upwards. The top of the ejector plate 2 passes through the limiting groove 17 and the ejection groove, pushing the room card upwards for easy removal. Throughout the process, the first spring 19 continuously pushes the multiple room cards, preventing them from tipping over, thus effectively... The above structure solves the problems existing in the prior art. It is simple and reasonably designed, which facilitates the storage and retrieval of room cards. The rotating frame 9 has multiple room card placement boxes 7 installed on its edge, so that room cards of different floors can be placed separately to avoid confusion. At the same time, the bottom side of the support frame 1 is equipped with an installation tube 12, a second spring 13 and a limit card 14. The second spring 13 pushes the limit card 14 and engages with the limit rod 20, so as to facilitate the positioning of the rotation of the room card placement box 7 and accurately align the limit groove 17 and the ejection groove, which facilitates the subsequent ejection of room cards.
