Briefly describing the method for accessing objects by the present invention:
1, initializing a storage cabinet: after the power is switched on, the controller controls the locker to initialize, the motors 21 corresponding to all the storage compartments 3 are started simultaneously, all the storage compartments 3 move along a set direction, when any storage compartment 3 runs to the access station 200, the code scanner 6 recognizes the identification code on the outer wall of the storage compartment 3 and immediately transmits a signal to the controller, the controller immediately controls the piston rod of the cylinder 51 of the blocking mechanism to extend out to drive the blocking piece 52 to extend out to block the motor 21 corresponding to the storage compartment 3, so that the storage compartment 3 cannot move, the storage compartments 3 behind the moving direction are sequentially attached to the storage compartments 3 in front of the moving direction of the storage compartments 3 to stop moving one by one, and a vacant area 100 is formed in front of the moving direction of the storage compartments 3.
2, moving the selected storage compartment to an access station: after a user selects one storage compartment 3 through the input panel 7, the code scanner 6 is started to identify whether the storage compartment 3 currently located at the access station 200 is the storage compartment 3 selected by the user;
if yes, reminding the user to carry out access operation through the input panel 7;
if not, the piston rod of the cylinder 51 of the blocking mechanism is immediately controlled to retract, so as to drive the blocking piece 52 to retract, so that all the storage compartments 3 move along the set direction, sequentially pass through the access station 200 and are sequentially identified by the code scanner 6, and when the storage compartment 3 selected by the user is identified to enter the access station 200, the controller simultaneously performs the following two operations:
a. the piston rod of the air cylinder 51 controlling the blocking mechanism extends out to drive the blocking piece 52 to extend out, so that the storage compartments 52 selected by a user are blocked and cannot move, the storage compartments 3 behind the moving direction of the blocking mechanism are sequentially attached to the storage compartments 3 in front of the respective moving direction and stop moving one by one, and a vacant area 100 is formed in front of the storage compartments 3 in the moving direction;
b. the user is prompted to perform an access operation through the input panel 7.
In steps 1-2, all motors 21 are continuously operated; when the storage compartment 3 is blocked by the storage compartment 3 in front of the storage compartment in the moving direction and cannot move, the corresponding gear 25 cannot roll on the internal gear ring, and under the action of the output torque of the motor 21, the friction clutch 22 is disconnected, and the crankshaft of the motor 21 idles; when there is a movement gap in front of the storage compartment 3 in the moving direction, the friction clutch 22 is engaged, and the power of the motor 21 is transmitted to the gear 25 through the friction clutch 22, so that the gear 25 rolls on the ring gear, thereby moving the storage compartment 3.
The method for accessing objects using the present invention is illustrated as follows:
as shown in fig. 9, in the initialized state of the storage cabinet, the storage compartments at the access station and the storage compartments behind the access station in the moving direction are numbered as 7, 6, and 5. If the No. 6 storage compartments are to be accessed, the blocking mechanism allows the No. 7 storage compartments to pass through, and all the storage compartments sequentially run according to a predetermined running track, as shown in fig. 10, when the No. 6 storage compartments (i.e., the target storage compartments) run to the access station, the blocking mechanism blocks the No. 6 storage compartments, and a user can access the No. 6 storage compartments. The access operation of other storage compartments is analogized and is not described in detail.

if not, the cylinder piston rod of the blocking mechanism is immediately controlled to retract to drive the blocking piece to retract, all the storage compartments move along the set direction, sequentially pass through the storage and taking station and are sequentially identified by the code scanner, and when the storage compartments selected by a user are identified to enter the storage and taking station, the controller simultaneously performs the following two operations:
a. the cylinder piston rod of the blocking mechanism is controlled to extend to drive the blocking piece to extend, so that the storage compartments selected by a user are blocked and cannot move, the storage compartments behind the movement direction of the blocking mechanism are sequentially attached to the storage compartments in front of the respective movement direction and stop moving one by one, and a vacant area is formed in front of the storage compartments in the movement direction;
b. and reminding a user of performing access operation through the input panel.
7. The object access method of claim 6, wherein: in the steps S01 and S02, all the motors are continuously operated; when the storage compartment is blocked by the storage compartment in front of the storage compartment in the moving direction and cannot move, the corresponding gear cannot roll on the internal gear ring, and the friction clutch is disconnected under the action of the output torque of the motor, so that a crankshaft of the motor idles; when a moving gap exists in the front of the storage compartment in the moving direction, the friction clutch is engaged, and the power of the motor is transmitted to the gear through the friction clutch, so that the gear rolls on the internal gear ring, and the storage compartment is driven to move.
