[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a locking mechanism, including a main component 1, including a receiving compartment 11, the inner wall of the receiving compartment 11 is provided with a receiving space 12, and the bottom of the receiving compartment 11 is provided with a movable through groove 13; a fixing component 2, disposed on the receiving compartment 11; and a pressing component 3, disposed on the receiving compartment 11; by pressing the pressing component 3, the locking state between the receiving compartment 11 and the corresponding device can be changed by the fixing component 2.

[0031] It should be noted that the function of the receiving compartment 11 is to place the pressing component 3. At the same time, the outer wall of the receiving compartment 11 is also connected to the fixing component 2. The locking state of the fixing component 2 and the related equipment can be changed by external force abutting the pressing component 3.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the fixing component 2 includes a positioning block 21 disposed on the receiving chamber 11, a rotating rod 22 disposed on the positioning block 21, a moving rod 23 disposed on the rotating rod 22, and a locking rod 24 disposed on the rotating rod 22; the tail end of the locking rod 24 is hook-shaped.

[0034] Specifically, the pressing component 3 includes a pressing spring 31 disposed on the receiving chamber 11, a pressing block 32 disposed on the pressing spring 31, a pressing rod 33 disposed on the pressing block 32, and a limiting rod 34 disposed on the pressing block 32.

[0035] Furthermore, a connecting block 35 is provided at the bottom of the pressing block 32. The connecting block 35 has a strip-shaped through groove 36. The strip-shaped through groove 36 is inclined and is adapted to the moving rod 23. It should be noted that the moving through groove 13 and the connecting block 35 are adapted to each other, so that the pressing block 32 can move along the moving through groove 13 under the action of thrust.

[0036] Furthermore, the end of the pressing block 32 is provided with a shaped groove 37, one end of the limiting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the positioning block 21, and the other end of the limiting rod 34 is adapted to the shaped groove 37.

[0037] It should also be noted that the strip groove 36 is inclined and is adapted to the moving rod 23; the end of the pressing block 32 is provided with a shaped groove 37, one end of the limiting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the side plate, and the other end of the limiting rod 34 is adapted to the shaped groove 37. The shaped groove 37 is beneficial to limiting the position of the limiting rod 34.

[0038] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 1.

[0039] When in use, an external force abuts the pressing rod 33. At this time, under the pressure of the pressing rod 33, the pressing block 32 simultaneously squeezes the pressing spring 31. When the pressing block 32 moves toward the pressing spring 31, the limiting rod 34 moves along the irregular groove 37 to the tip of the irregular groove 37. At this time, the position of the limiting rod 34 no longer moves. It is worth noting that the strip groove 36 is set at an angle. Since the moving rod 23 is fixedly connected to the locking rod 24, when the pressing block 32 moves, the moving rod 23 moves along the strip groove 36, and the hook end of the locking rod 24 moves up and down.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiments, this embodiment provides a storage device, including the aforementioned locking mechanism, and further including: a wall 4, the inner wall of which is provided with a cavity 41, the side wall of which is open; a storage cabinet 5, which is disposed in the cavity 41 of the wall 4 and is used to place items; a moving part 6, which is disposed at the end of the storage cabinet 5 and is used to assist the storage cabinet 5 in moving along the cavity 41 of the inner wall of the wall 4; a connecting block 51 is provided on the side wall of the storage cabinet 5, which can be engaged with the locking rod 24; and the locking mechanism is disposed in the cavity 41.

[0042] Specifically, a motor 7 is connected to the inner wall of the wall 4, and an electric push rod 8 is connected to the end of the motor 7. When the motor 7 is in working condition, it drives the electric push rod 8 to move. The end of the electric push rod 8 away from the motor 7 is connected to the side wall of the storage cabinet 5, and the electric push rod 8 can drive the storage cabinet 5 to move.

[0043] Furthermore, a moving track 52 is provided at the end of the storage cabinet 5 away from the moving part 6, and a connecting roller is provided on the wall 4. The connecting roller can roll along the moving track 52; the connecting roller is used to connect the storage cabinet 5 to the wall 4.

[0044] It should be noted that the end of the connecting roller away from the wall 4 extends into the moving track 52. At this time, the connecting roller also acts as a limit for the cabinet 5, so that the cabinet 5 will not completely detach from the inner cavity of the wall 4. When the electric push rod 8 pushes the cabinet 5 to move, the connecting roller rolls along the moving track 52 at the end of the cabinet 5. At this time, the cabinet 5 can move along the inner cavity of the wall 4. It should be noted that a position sensor is installed on the moving track 52. When the motor 7 is turned on, the electric push rod 8 first pushes the cabinet 5 towards the inner wall of the wall 4. When it reaches the position sensor, the motor 7 receives the signal from the position sensor and changes the moving direction of the electric push rod 8, so that the electric push rod 8 pushes the cabinet 5 towards the outside of the wall 4.

[0045] Furthermore, a lifting track 42 is provided on the inner wall of the wall 4. The lifting track 42 is used to adjust the distance between the end of the moving part 6 away from the cabinet 5 and the inner wall of the wall 4. It should be noted that the function of the lifting track 42 is to adjust the distance between the end of the moving part 6 away from the cabinet 5 and the inner wall of the wall 4.

[0046] Furthermore, the movable component 6 includes a telescopic rod 61 fixedly connected to the end of the storage cabinet 5. It should be noted that the telescopic rod 61 is an elastic telescopic rod 61. A lifting rod 62 is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 61. The end of the lifting rod 62 away from the storage cabinet 5 is fixedly connected to the movable roller 63. A movable ring 64 is connected to the outer wall of the lifting rod 62. The movable ring 64 is adapted to the lifting track 42. It should be noted that the movable ring 64 can tilt at a certain angle along the outer wall of the lifting rod 62, so that when the movable ring 64 enters the lifting track 42, it can tilt at a certain angle along the outer wall of the lifting rod 62. Thus, the movable ring 64 can move smoothly into the lifting track 42, so that the movable roller 63 can move up and down with the movement of the movable ring 64, thereby changing the distance between the movable roller 63 and the inner wall of the wall 4.

[0047] It should be noted that the function of setting a lifting ring on the movable roller 63 to cooperate with the lifting track 42, so that the movable roller 63 can rise and fall along the lifting track 42 at the same time, is that when the movable roller 63 is located on the inner wall of the wall 4, the position of the movable roller 63 is raised. At this time, it is easier to solve the problem that the area under the cabinet that is difficult to clean is prone to the growth of dirt and bacteria when it is placed in the same place for a long time.

[0048] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 2.

[0049] Operation process: The storage cabinet 5 in this utility model is set to place tools. An intelligent recognition module can also be set on the storage cabinet 5. By setting the intelligent recognition module, the motor 7 can be turned on or off by facial recognition or scanning the work card information.

[0050] The locker 5 is initially locked inside the cavity 41 of the wall 4. At this time, the hook end of the locking rod 24 is engaged with the connecting block 51. When the motor 7 is activated by facial recognition or scanning of employee ID information, the electric push rod 8 first pushes the locker 5 towards the inner wall of the wall 4. When it reaches the position sensor, the motor 7 receives the signal from the position sensor and changes the direction of movement of the electric push rod 8, so that the electric push rod 8 pushes the locker 5 towards the outside of the wall 4.

[0051] When the electric push rod 8 pushes the cabinet 5 towards the inner wall of the wall 4, the side of the cabinet 5 abuts against the pressing rod 33. At this time, under the pressure of the pressing rod 33, the pressing block 32 simultaneously squeezes the pressing spring 31. When the pressing block 32 moves towards the pressing spring 31, the limiting rod 34 moves along the irregular groove 37 to the tip of the irregular groove 37. At this time, the position of the limiting rod 34 no longer moves. It is worth noting that the strip groove 36 is set at an angle. Since the moving rod 23 is fixedly connected to the locking rod 24, when the pressing block 32 moves, the moving rod 23 moves along the strip groove 36, and the hook end of the locking rod 24 moves downward. At this time, the hook end of the locking rod 24 is no longer engaged with the connecting block 51, so that the cabinet 5 can continue to move towards the outer wall of the wall 4 under the push of the electric push rod 8.

[0052] When the electric push rod 8 pushes the cabinet 5 to move outward from the wall 4, the moving ring 64 moves along the lifting track 42 to the outer wall of the wall 4 at the same time. At this time, as the height of the lifting track 42 decreases, the height of the moving roller 63 changes simultaneously until the moving ring 64 no longer contacts the lifting track 42. At this time, the moving roller 63 contacts the inner wall of the wall 4 and can move along the bottom inner wall of the wall 4.

[0053] When the electric push rod 8 pushes the locker 5 out of the wall 4, the staff can take out the tools inside the locker 5 and then close the locker 5 by facial recognition or scanning the employee ID card information. At this time, the motor 7 starts again and drives the locker 5 to move towards the inner wall of the wall 4 through the electric push rod 8 until the inner wall of the locker 5 touches the pressing block 32, so that the hook end of the locking rod 24 engages with the connecting block 51, and the locker 5 is in the locked state.

[0054] This invention uses facial recognition or scanning of employee ID cards to turn the motor on or off, enabling accurate and real-time recording and updating of the access status of tools and equipment, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of information. Detailed records are kept of the time of each retrieval and return, the operator, and the tool / equipment information, facilitating traceability and auditing.
