Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of campus lost and found technology, and more specifically, to a lost and found cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] In primary and secondary schools, most students have experienced the loss of personal belongings. The peak times for lost items are during breaks, activity periods, and after school. Common lost items include school supplies such as pencil cases, pencil bags, books, and exercise books; clothing items such as school uniform jackets, red scarves, watches, hats, and scarves; daily necessities such as water bottles and umbrellas; and other small items such as bus cards.

[0003] Currently, lost and found management on campus mainly relies on the following traditional methods: schools set up lost and found offices in the academic affairs office or logistics department, managed by teachers or student volunteers, who then use announcements to find the owners. However, this traditional method cannot quickly identify the owners, thus failing to return lost items to them in a timely manner, resulting in low return efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems of the existing technology, which cannot quickly identify the owner and has low efficiency in returning lost items, this utility model provides a lost and found cabinet that can quickly identify the owner and return the lost items to the owner in a timely manner, thereby improving the efficiency of lost item return.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A lost and found cabinet includes a cabinet body and a cabinet door connected to the cabinet body. The cabinet door is equipped with a door lock. The outside of the cabinet body is equipped with a QR code scanner, a human-computer interaction module, and a control module. The QR code scanner, the human-computer interaction module, and the door lock are all electrically connected to the control module.

[0007] In the above technical solution, a personalized QR code is first generated for each student. Each QR code stores information such as name, class, student ID, and contact information. These QR codes are then printed as stickers and distributed to students, who can affix their personal QR codes to their school uniform jackets, water bottles, umbrellas, or other personal items. When a student loses a personal item, if found, it can be handed over to the relevant administrator. The administrator can select to store the item on the human-computer interaction interface, then scan the QR code on the item against a QR code scanner. The scanner parses the name, class, student ID, and contact information, and sends the information to the control module. The control module then displays this information through the human-computer interaction module; simultaneously, the control module unlocks the door, and the administrator places the item into the locker for storage. When the owner comes to claim the lost item, they can show their personal QR code to the QR code scanner, which then sends the corresponding personal information to the control module. The control module matches the received personal information with the personal information parsed when the item was previously stored. If a match is found, the door lock is opened. Since the owner can be quickly identified based on the personal information displayed by the human-computer interaction module, it is more efficient than the traditional method of broadcasting to find people.

[0008] Preferably, the system also includes an SMS module, which is electrically connected to the control module. After the QR code scanner sends the personal information corresponding to the QR code to the control module, the control module sends the contact number from the personal information to the SMS module. The SMS module then sends an SMS message to the corresponding contact number based on the pre-entered SMS template, so that the person who lost the item can receive the notification of the loss promptly, thus shortening the time required to claim the lost item.

[0009] Preferably, the cabinet contains a clothes rack and multiple storage boxes. At least some of the storage boxes have a different volume than the remaining boxes. The clothes rack is used to hang clothes, while the storage boxes are used to hold other items such as water cups, pencil cases, etc. Items of different sizes are placed in storage boxes of roughly the same size. This facilitates the categorization and management of items, narrows down the search area, and allows the owner to quickly find lost items within the cabinet. It also prevents damage caused by stacking items.

[0010] Preferably, the storage boxes are distributed at the bottom of the cabinet's internal cavity, and each storage box has a top cover. One end of the top cover is rotatably connected to one end of the top of the storage box, and the other end of the top cover abuts against the other end of the top of the storage box. Each top cover has a viewing window. Clothes located above the storage boxes may collect dust or items from pockets may fall into the storage boxes. The top cover prevents this from happening and also prevents hangers from accidentally falling and damaging the items inside the storage boxes. The viewing window allows the owner to see the items inside the storage boxes without opening the top cover, thus eliminating the need to open the top cover to search for personal belongings.

[0011] Preferably, the cabinet door includes a left curtain slat and a right curtain slat, and the cabinet body is provided with an upper sliding track and a lower sliding track; the top ends of the left and right curtain slats are slidably disposed on the upper sliding track, and the bottom ends of the left and right curtain slats are slidably disposed on the lower sliding track; the left and right curtain slats are detachably connected by a door lock. Traditional cabinet doors are usually single or double doors, requiring a certain amount of space to open, thus occupying a large space. This utility model adopts a sliding curtain design, opening or closing the cabinet door by sliding the left and right curtain slats. The cabinet door does not occupy additional external space when open, making it convenient for use in the limited indoor space of a campus.

[0012] Preferably, the door lock includes an electromagnetic lock body disposed on the left curtain slat and an armature plate disposed on the right curtain slat, the electromagnetic lock body and the armature plate being magnetically attracted to each other. When locking the cabinet door, the electromagnetic lock body is energized and magnetized, thus magnetically attracting the armature plate and locking the left and right curtain slats. When it is necessary to open the cabinet door, the control module controls the electromagnetic lock body to be de-energized, causing the electromagnetic lock body to separate from the armature plate, thereby separating the left and right curtain slats. It should be noted that the structure and engagement principle of the electromagnetic lock body and the armature plate are existing technologies, therefore, this utility model will not describe them in detail.

[0013] Preferably, the left curtain slat is provided with a left handle, and the right curtain slat is provided with a right handle. Providing left and right handles allows for convenient manual pushing of the left and right curtain slats, respectively.

[0014] Preferably, a card reader or fingerprint scanner is installed on the outside of the cabinet, and the card reader or fingerprint scanner is electrically connected to the control module. With the card reader or fingerprint scanner installed, the administrator can open the door lock by swiping a card or using fingerprint recognition. This method can serve as a backup unlocking method, allowing the administrator to open the door lock at any time when needed.

[0015] Preferably, the cabinet is equipped with an indicator light, which is electrically connected to the control module. After the door lock is unlocked or locked, the control module triggers the indicator light to flash, indicating that the door lock is open or locked.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the cabinet is equipped with at least three non-coordinated swivel casters. These casters allow the lost and found locker to be easily moved to any location on campus without requiring multiple people to carry it, thus saving manpower.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] (1) A QR code scanner and a human-computer interaction module are set up. By scanning the QR code on the lost item, the cabinet door can be opened to store and manage the lost item. At the same time, the human-computer interaction module can display the owner's personal information, thereby quickly confirming the owner and making the return of lost items more efficient. A text message module is also set up, which can send a lost item retrieval text message to the owner after scanning the code to confirm the owner, which helps to shorten the time for retrieval of lost items.

[0019] (2) The cabinet is equipped with a clothes rack and multiple storage boxes of different sizes, which facilitates the zoning and management of items, helps to narrow down the search area, and makes it easier for the owner to quickly find lost items in the cabinet. It can also prevent damage caused by stacking items.

[0020] (3) The cabinet door adopts a sliding curtain design, which does not require additional external space when the cabinet door is opened, making it convenient to use in the limited indoor space on campus.

[0021] (4) The bottom of the cabinet is equipped with omnidirectional casters, which allows the lost and found cabinet to be easily moved to any location on campus without the need for multiple people to carry it. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Example 1

[0033] This embodiment is a first embodiment of a lost and found cabinet, combined with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a cabinet body 1 and a cabinet door 2 connected to the cabinet body 1. The cabinet door 2 is equipped with a door lock 3. A QR code scanner 4, a human-machine interaction module 5, and a control module 6 are installed on the outside of the cabinet body 1. The QR code scanner 4, the human-machine interaction module 5, and the door lock 3 are all electrically connected to the control module 6. Specifically, the human-machine interaction module 5 is an electronic touch screen.

[0034] Furthermore, it also includes an SMS module 7, which is electrically connected to the control module 6.

[0035] The working principle or workflow of this embodiment is as follows: First, a personalized QR code is generated for each student. Each QR code stores information such as name, class, student ID, and contact information. These QR codes are then printed as stickers and distributed to students, who can affix their personal QR codes to their school uniform jackets, water bottles, umbrellas, or other personal items. When a student loses a personal item, if found, it can be handed over to the relevant administrator. The administrator can select to store the item on the human-computer interaction interface, then scan the QR code on the item against the QR code scanner 4. The scanner 4 parses the name, class, student ID, and contact information, and sends the information to the control module 6. The control module 6 then displays this information through the human-computer interaction module 5. Simultaneously, the control module 6 sends the contact number from the personal information to the SMS module 7. The SMS module 7 then sends a lost and found SMS to the corresponding contact number based on the pre-entered SMS template, so that the person who lost the item can retrieve it promptly. At the same time, the control module 6 also unlocks the door lock 3, allowing the administrator to place the item into the cabinet 1 for storage.

[0036] When the owner comes to claim the lost item, they can show their personal QR code to the QR code scanner 4 for recognition. The QR code scanner 4 then sends the personal information corresponding to the QR code to the control module 6. The control module 6 matches the received personal information with the personal information parsed when the item was previously stored. If the same personal information is found, the door lock 3 will be opened.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: By setting up a QR code scanner and a human-computer interaction module, the QR code scanner can be used to scan the QR code on the lost item to open the cabinet door for storage and management. At the same time, the human-computer interaction module can display the owner's personal information, thereby quickly confirming the owner and making the return of lost items more efficient. A text message module is also set up, which can send a lost item retrieval text message to the owner after scanning the code to confirm the owner, which helps to shorten the time for recognizing lost items.
