The garment delivery compartment has an upper baffle separating the garment retrieval compartment and a front baffle closing the front. The upper baffle has a garment inlet connecting to the garment delivery compartment and a garment inlet cover for opening and closing the inlet. The front baffle has a garment retrieval inlet connecting to the garment delivery compartment and a garment retrieval door for opening and closing the inlet. The garment delivery compartment is equipped with an internal camera monitoring the falling and stacking of garments. An external camera monitoring the exterior of the main cabinet is installed on the outside of the main cabinet.
[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the laundry service provider places laundry cabinets inside partner companies. When company employees need to send their clothes for laundry, they first put the clothes to be cleaned into bags and mark the bags (e.g., phone number, name, etc.). Then, they scan the QR code on the main cabinet to register and pay, open the garment loading cover, and put the bagged clothes into the delivery compartment. Then, the laundry service provider's system backend dispatches a transfer person to the company at a scheduled time, opens the retrieval door, takes out the clothes collected in the delivery compartment, and transfers the collected clothes to a designated laundry store for cleaning. Finally, the laundry service provider's transfer person returns the cleaned clothes to the delivery compartment at a scheduled time and hangs them on the clothes hanging rod. Company employees then pick up their clothes according to the registered information. The above-mentioned equipment has the following advantages: ① It can be deployed within the company, allowing employees to drop off and pick up clothing within the company premises, thus saving the burden of going to the laundry store after get off work; ② It serves only the employees of a single company, eliminating most of the anti-theft structures. On the one hand, this makes the equipment structure more streamlined, and on the other hand, it makes it easier for employees to operate, avoiding cumbersome identity verification procedures that reduce their enthusiasm for use; ③ The reasonable design layout makes full use of the internal space of the cabinet.
