Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automated intelligent drawer cabinet for furniture. In particular, the intelligent drawer cabinet refers to a cabinet that provides corresponding operation options through a control module, allowing users to select a specific storage cabinet without having to manually push or push it back. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional drawer-style cabinets, commonly found in furniture, are designed with sliding drawers for organizing and storing everyday items. Access to these items requires manually pulling out and pushing the drawers back. Furthermore, due to their structural limitations, these drawer-style cabinets cannot be fitted with padlocks. This means that if someone wants to steal valuables from inside, they can easily obtain the item with a simple operation, thus failing to effectively prevent theft.

[0003] On the other hand, in order to greatly improve the utilization of living space, residents often choose to install additional storage cabinets under sofas or beds to store daily necessities such as clothes, decorations or health products. Although the above situation can improve the utilization of space, there are still inconveniences because the installation location is relatively hidden. When it is necessary to organize or take out items, users must bend over or bend down to operate, which causes additional burden for the elderly or those with physical discomfort.

[0004] However, with the development of technology, more and more people are beginning to advocate smart homes, hoping to use technology to easily control all kinds of home appliances and furniture, thereby improving their quality of life and saving energy. Therefore, how to automatically pull out and push back storage cabinets while avoiding the risk of theft of items stored in the cabinets is a topic that related businesses are eager to work on.

[0005] In view of this, based on my many years of experience in manufacturing development and design in related industries, I have actively undertaken research to address the aforementioned problems. Through continuous experimentation and effort, this utility model has finally come into being. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent drawer cabinet that can automatically manage and operate the cabinet, and allows setting a password on the control module to avoid the risk of theft by criminals, thereby achieving the functions of automated operation and anti-theft.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent drawer cabinet, comprising: a cabinet body having an internal accommodating space; a driving component disposed in the accommodating space; at least one gear meshing with the driving component and a rack, wherein when the gear and the driving component are meshed and rotate, the rack moves in one direction; a track disposed within the accommodating space and moving along the direction with the rack; and a plurality of storage modules, each comprising a sliding component, a base plate, a connecting rod, a storage cabinet, and a pushing component, wherein the sliding component is movably disposed on the track, and the connecting rod... One end of the device is fixedly connected to the sliding assembly and the other end is fixedly connected to the rack. The base plate is disposed on the sliding assembly and the storage cabinet is disposed on the base plate. When the sliding assembly moves along the direction of the track, it moves the storage cabinet together with the sliding assembly. The pushing assembly is used to push the storage cabinet outward. A control module is disposed outside the cabinet and provides an interface for inputting an operation command. The control module can wirelessly input the operation command with a mobile communication device so that the specified storage cabinet can be pushed out from the accommodating space of the cabinet.

[0008] Preferably, the operation command is input into the control module or the mobile communication device, causing the drive component to drive the gear to move and slide the storage cabinet on the rack along the direction of the track until the specific storage cabinet is located at the position corresponding to a door and stops moving. Then, an automatic door control module of the door causes the door to open, causing the push component to push out the storage cabinet in a direction perpendicular to the track and expose it to the outside.

[0009] Preferably, the storage module further includes: a positioning module disposed on the substrate and used to obtain positioning information.

[0010] Preferably, the storage module further includes: an identification module disposed on the substrate and used to identify information of the storage module.

[0011] Preferably, the storage module further includes: a security detection module, which is disposed in the storage cabinet and is used to detect the physical state of the storage cabinet and generate a detection result.

[0012] Preferably, the safety detection module further includes: a monitoring unit, which is used to receive and monitor the detection result, and determine whether the detection result is in a normal operating state. If it is in an abnormal operating state, a protection mechanism is triggered to stop the receiving module from receiving a current.

[0013] Preferably, the storage module further includes: a support rod disposed on the substrate and one end of which is fixedly connected to the pushing component, so that the storage cabinet can move along the direction of the substrate.

[0014] Preferably, the cabinet further includes: a power drive module disposed in the cabinet and facing the accommodating space, which provides power to the storage module when current is connected between the storage module and the power drive module.

[0015] Preferably, the control module can communicate wirelessly with a mobile communication device to generate the operation command.

[0016] Secondly, this utility model embodiment also provides an operation method for an intelligent drawer cabinet, including the following steps: starting the intelligent drawer cabinet, since the intelligent drawer cabinet has a control module, an operation command can be input on an interface of the control module; moving the storage module, the control module identifies the position information of a plurality of storage modules according to the operation command, and causes a drive component to drive at least one gear and drive a rack to move the storage module along a track; pushing out the storage module, when one of the storage modules moves to the position of a corresponding door, it stops moving and an automatic door control module causes the door to open, and then one of the storage modules' storage cabinets is automatically pushed out by a push component; and retracting the storage module, by inputting a retraction command on the control module, or when the time for the storage cabinet to be pushed out exceeds a retraction time, the procedure of retracting the storage cabinet to the intelligent drawer cabinet is executed, and the door is reset to its original position and presented as closed.

[0017] Preferably, in the positioning and storage module, during the movement of the storage module, an identification module and a positioning module of each storage module are used to track and locate the relative position of the storage module in the smart drawer cabinet in real time; and the moving speed of the storage module is slowed down. During the movement of the storage module, when it is confirmed that one of the storage modules is close to the relative position of the door based on the positioning information provided by the positioning module, the moving speed of the storage module is slowed down by the driving component until it stops at the relative position of the door.

[0018] In summary, this utility model's intelligent drawer cabinet, through inputting operation commands into the control module and setting the cabinet according to user needs, allows specific storage cabinets to automatically extend from the cabinet body, enabling users to retrieve items or organize their belongings. Therefore, compared to traditional furniture storage cabinets, this utility model operates the intelligent drawer cabinet through intelligence and automation, eliminating the need for manual pushing and pulling. Furthermore, it utilizes intelligent management to provide smart management for each storage cabinet, thereby improving the user's quality of life. Additionally, password settings effectively prevent theft of items. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the intelligent drawer cabinet of this utility model.

[0026] The intelligent drawer cabinet 10 includes a cabinet body 20, a drive assembly 30, at least one gear 40, a track 50, multiple storage modules 60, and a control module 70.

[0027] The cabinet 20 has an internal accommodating space 80; a drive assembly 30 is disposed in the accommodating space 80; at least one gear 40 meshes with the drive assembly 30 and the rack 90, and when the gear 40 and the drive assembly 30 are meshed and rotate, the rack 90 moves in a certain direction. In this embodiment, the number of gears 40 is preferably two; a track 50 is disposed in the accommodating space 80 and moves in a certain direction with the rack 90; and a plurality of storage modules 60, each having a sliding assembly 100 and a base plate 110. The system comprises a connecting rod 120, a storage cabinet 130, and a pushing component 140. The sliding component 100 is movably mounted on the track 50. One end of the connecting rod 120 is fixedly connected to the sliding component 100, and the other end is fixedly connected to the rack 90. ​​A base plate 110 is mounted on the sliding component 100, and the storage cabinet 130 is mounted on the base plate 110. When the sliding component 100 moves along the track 50, it moves the storage cabinet 130 along with it. The pushing component 140 then pushes the storage cabinet 130 outwards. The number of storage modules 60 is not limited; this embodiment preferably has six modules, but in other embodiments, the number may be less than six or more.

[0028] Please see again Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the intelligent drawer cabinet of this utility model.

[0029] A control module 70, located externally to the cabinet 20, provides an interface for inputting operation commands, enabling the designated storage cabinet 130 to be pushed out from the receiving space 80 of the cabinet 20. Furthermore, since the control module 70 can wirelessly communicate with a mobile communication device 230, the mobile communication device 230 can also input operation commands. A correct authorization password is required to further activate and operate the intelligent drawer cabinet 10, allowing the storage cabinet 130 to automatically slide out of the cabinet 20. The mobile communication device 230 may include a smartphone or tablet, but this invention is not limited to this.

[0030] A switchable door 150 is provided on the cabinet 20, and an automatic door control module 160 is provided on the door 150. When an operation command is input by the control module 70 or the mobile communication device 230, the designated storage module 60 is moved and positioned in the corresponding position on the door 150. The automatic door control module 160 then activates the door 150 and opens it, so that the storage cabinet 130 can be exposed from the door 150.

[0031] The storage module 60 further includes a positioning module 170, which is disposed on the base plate 110 and is used to obtain positioning information. The positioning information is transmitted to the control module 70, and the positioning information displays the position of the storage module 60. When the storage module 60 is indeed in the position corresponding to the door 150, a positioning command is sent to the control module 70, and then the automatic door control module 160 opens the door 150 and pushes out the storage cabinet 130.

[0032] The storage module 60 further includes an identification module 180, which is disposed on the base plate 110 and used to identify information of the storage module 60; wherein, each storage module 60 has an identification module 180, which can be used to distinguish different storage modules 60, and has an additional positioning function, which can display the relative position of each storage module 60 within the cabinet 20 on the control module 70, so that the user can intuitively understand the position of the storage cabinet 130.

[0033] The storage module 60 further includes a safety detection module 190, which is disposed in the storage cabinet 130 and is used to detect the physical state of the storage cabinet 130 and generate a detection result. Furthermore, the safety detection module 190 further includes a monitoring unit, which receives and monitors the detection result and determines whether the detection result indicates a normal operating state. If it indicates an abnormal operating state, a protection mechanism is triggered to stop the storage module 60 from receiving current.

[0034] Specifically, the safety detection module 190 is used to detect whether the storage cabinet 130 can be pushed out normally. Based on the sliding state and speed of the storage cabinet 130, corresponding detection results are generated. The monitoring unit receives and monitors the detection results. If the detection result shows a normal operating state, it means that the storage module 60 is functioning normally, such as the storage cabinet 130 being able to be pushed out and moved normally. On the other hand, if the detection result shows an abnormal operating state, it means that the storage cabinet 130 is affected by other factors and cannot move normally, thus triggering a protection mechanism to stop the storage module 60 from receiving current. When the storage cabinet 130 cannot be pushed out normally, the current will increase due to the continuous supply of current to the pushing component 140. In this situation, the protection mechanism is triggered to immediately stop supplying current to the storage module 60. When the detection result shows an abnormal operating state, the abnormal state information will be displayed on at least one of the control module 70 and the mobile communication device 230, or the user will be alerted by voice that the movement state of the storage module 60 has an abnormal state. The storage module 60 further includes a support rod 200, which is disposed on the substrate 110 and has one end fixedly connected to the push assembly 140, so that the storage cabinet 130 can move along the direction of the substrate 110. There is a moving space (not shown in the figure) between the substrate 110 and the storage cabinet 130, and the support rod 200 is located within the moving space.

[0035] The cabinet 20 further includes a power drive module 210 disposed within the cabinet 20 and facing into the accommodating space 80. When current flows between the storage module 60 and the power drive module 210, power is supplied to the storage module 60. Specifically, when the power drive module 210 contacts the storage module 60, it provides current to the storage module 60, enabling the storage module 60 to move to the position corresponding to the door 150, thus providing sufficient power for it to be pushed out of the cabinet 20.

[0036] The track 50 described above can be circular, U-shaped, L-shaped, or straight. This utility model is not limited to these shapes, and in this embodiment, the track 50 is preferably circular.

[0037] Since the control module 70 can communicate wirelessly with the mobile communication device 230, enabling the control module 70 to generate the same operating commands, and the mobile communication device 230 includes smartphones or tablets, this invention is not limited thereto. Specifically, by displaying the position of each storage module 60 on the mobile communication device 230 and inputting operating commands to drive the drive component 30 to rotate the gear 40, the storage module 60 can move on the track 50, allowing the designated storage cabinet 130 to be pushed out of the cabinet 20, so that the user can take out or organize items from the storage cabinet 130. In summary, the user can choose to operate the smart drawer cabinet 10 using either the control module 70 or the mobile communication device.

[0038] Furthermore, information about items placed in each storage cabinet 130 can be written into the control module 70 or the mobile communication device 230. This allows users to access the information and location of specific items at any time when they want to retrieve them. Users can also input item information in operation commands to automatically slide a designated storage cabinet 130 out of the cabinet 20 for easy retrieval. Alternatively, the control module 70 or the mobile communication device 230 can be used to define a name for each storage module 60, so that subsequent operations can automatically push out the corresponding storage cabinet 130 by inputting the name of the storage module 60.

[0039] The multiple storage modules 60 include a hidden cabinet 220, the location of which is not directly displayed on the control module 70 or the mobile communication device 230. Operation of the hidden cabinet 220 requires entering a specific authorization password, and the number of incorrect password entries must not exceed the limit. It should be noted that, compared to the storage cabinets 130 in other storage modules 60, the hidden cabinet 220 is additionally equipped with a positioning module 170, such as... Figure 2As shown. The hidden cabinet 220 is designed to provide users with a place to store personal property or belongings, preventing unauthorized access to valuables by anyone who also knows the activation password of the smart drawer 10. The number of hidden cabinets 220 in this invention is not limited; there can be one, two, or more.

[0040] For example, if the number of incorrect password entries reaches three, the control module 70 or mobile communication device 230 will be unable to accept the password again, and the user will have to wait for a period of time, such as at least one day or any other number of days. This invention does not impose any restrictions on this. If the cabinet 220 is not reset within a certain period of time after it is pushed out, the user will be alerted via message and voice on the control module 70 or mobile communication device 230. In case of any abnormal situation, such as the cabinet 230 being forcibly pulled open or other situations where it cannot be pushed out normally, an alarm will be issued and recorded on the control module 70 or mobile communication device 230 so that the user can review the usage status of the cabinet 220 at any time.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is another structural schematic diagram of the intelligent drawer cabinet of this utility model, in which the cabinet is shown in a pushed-out state.

[0042] When an operation command is input into the control module 70 or the mobile communication device 230, the drive component 30 drives the gear 40 to move, causing the storage cabinet 130 on the rack 90 to slide along the direction of the track 50 until the specific storage cabinet 130 is positioned corresponding to the door 150 and stops moving. Then, the automatic door control module 160 of the door 150 opens the door 150, causing the push component 140 to push the storage cabinet 130 out in a direction perpendicular to the track 50, thus exposing it to the outside. Figure 2 As shown.

[0043] In another scenario, when the storage module 60 is reset, it is pushed back into the accommodating space 80, and the automatic door control module 160 causes the door 150 to automatically reset to its original position, with the door 150 in a closed state. The situation is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0044] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the operation method of the intelligent drawer cabinet of this utility model. Figure 5 This is a partial flowchart illustrating the operation method of the intelligent drawer cabinet of this utility model.

[0045] This embodiment also provides an operation method for the intelligent drawer cabinet, including the following steps:

[0046] When the smart cabinet S10 is activated, since the smart cabinet S10 has a control module 70, operation commands can be input on the interface of the control module 70. Alternatively, operation commands can also be output using a mobile communication device 230 that has wireless communication with the control module 70.

[0047] The mobile storage module S20, the control module 70 identifies the position information of multiple storage modules according to the operation command, and causes the drive component 30 to drive at least one gear 40 and drive the rack 90 to move the storage module 60 along the direction of the track 50.

[0048] When one of the storage modules 60 moves to the position of the corresponding door 150, it stops moving and the automatic door control module 160 opens the door 150. Then, the storage cabinet 130 of one of the storage modules 60 is automatically pushed out by the push component 140.

[0049] The storage module S40 can execute the procedure of retracting the storage cabinet 130 into the intelligent drawer cabinet 10 by inputting a retraction command on the control module 70, or when the time when the storage cabinet 130 is pushed out exceeds the retraction time, and the door 150 is reset to its original position and presented as closed.

[0050] The mobile storage module S20 further includes the following steps:

[0051] The positioning and storage module S210, during the movement of the storage module 60, uses the identification module 180 and positioning module 170 of each storage module 60 to track and locate the relative position of the storage module 60 in the smart drawer cabinet 10 in real time.

[0052] S220: During the movement of the storage module 60, the positioning information provided by the positioning module 170 is used to confirm that one of the storage modules 60 is close to the relative position of the door 150. Then, the driving component 30 is used to slow down the movement speed of the storage module 60 until it stops at the relative position of the door 150.

[0053] In summary, the intelligent drawer cabinet 10 of this invention, by inputting operation commands into the control module 70 and setting the intelligent drawer cabinet 10 according to user needs, allows specific storage cabinets 130 to automatically extend from the cabinet body 20, enabling users to retrieve items or organize their belongings from the storage cabinets 130. Therefore, compared to traditional furniture storage cabinets, this invention operates the intelligent drawer cabinet 10 through intelligence and automation, eliminating the need for manual pushing and pulling of the storage cabinets 130. Furthermore, intelligent management can be used to manage each storage cabinet 130, improving the user's quality of life. Additionally, password settings effectively prevent theft of items by unauthorized individuals.
