Example 7

According to the storage device 10 provided by the embodiment of the application, the first compartment 102 and the second compartment 106 are arranged. A heat exchanger 104 capable of refrigerating is arranged in the first compartment 102, and a heating device 108 is arranged in the second compartment 106. In this way, first compartment 102 may be used as a cold or freezer compartment for storing items that require less temperature for storage, such as cold drinks, ice creams, and the like. While the second compartment 106 may be used as a high temperature storage compartment for storing items or food that require a higher temperature, such as noodles, rice gruel, etc. The first compartment 102 and the second compartment 106 store articles with different temperature requirements, so that the number of compartments of the storage device 10 is increased, the storage conditions of the storage device 10 can be enriched, and the storage types are increased, thereby being beneficial to expanding the use range of the storage device 10 and meeting diversified commodity requirements of users.

The storage device 10 further comprises a camera. The camera is used for collecting images. Through the arrangement of the camera, the face recognition can be carried out on the user, or the bar code and the two-dimensional code on the mobile phone of the user can be scanned, so that the functions of intelligent door opening, intelligent accounting and intelligent account settling are realized, and the use convenience of the storage device 10 is improved.

In some embodiments, storage device 10 further includes a display screen. The display screen is disposed on the cabinet 100, and the display screen is used for displaying information of the storage device 10, such as the type, quantity, price, payment method, and the like of the articles in the storage device 10.

It is understood that the storage device 10 includes any one of the following: display cabinets, sales cabinets, and automated sales cabinets.

Example 8

Storage device 10, such as a multi-compartment smart display case, is provided according to one embodiment of the present application. The storage device 10 can meet the requirements of different commodities on different storage temperatures.

Storage device 10 comprises 4 independent compartments. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the 3 first compartments 102 of the storage device 10, that is, the upper left first compartment 102, the upper right first compartment 102, and the lower right first compartment 102, are respectively used as a refrigeration area, a normal temperature area, and a freezing area. Each first compartment 102 has a separate refrigeration system that can be controlled to maintain different temperatures in each first compartment. The lower left second compartment 106 acts as a heating zone. The second compartment 106 is provided with a separate heating system which ensures that the second compartment 106 is always at a higher temperature.

Four compartments of the storage device 10 are provided with independent door bodies 122, and double-layer hollow toughened glass is used, so that the storage device has good heat insulation performance and good display effect. And 4 door bodies 122 all have the self-closing function, and the user can automatically close the door after selecting the commodity and automatically settle the order after closing the door.

The four door bodies 122 of the storage device 10 are all provided with magnetic members 126. When the door 122 is closed, the electromagnetic lock 124 and the magnetic member 126 on the box body can attract the door 122 by magnetic force, so that the commodity is prevented from being lost. After the user scans the code or brushes the face, the shopping process starts, the electromagnetic lock 124 is released at the same time, the user can take the commodities in each compartment at will, after the commodities are taken and automatically closed, the controller 132 positioned at the top controls the electromagnetic lock 124 to be closed, at this moment, the user can not open the door body 122 any more, and meanwhile, the shopping order of the user starts to be calculated.

The controller 132 at the top is further connected to the temperature sensor 120, the camera, the refrigeration device, and the like, and is responsible for regulating and controlling the temperature, the lighting, the electric devices such as the camera, and the refrigeration device of each compartment of the storage device 10.

The 4 compartments of the storage device 10 mentioned in this embodiment are completely independent from each other and are not communicated. The three first chambers 102 as the normal temperature zone, the refrigeration zone and the freezing zone are respectively provided with temperature sensors 120, each of which is provided with a separate heat exchanger 104, and the mechanical chamber is internally provided with a reversing valve 110, such as a three-way electromagnetic valve, a three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing valve, a four-position five-way electromagnetic reversing valve and the like. The reversing valve 110 can control the refrigeration on-off of the three first chambers 102 independently. The three first compartments 102 may be set to different temperatures, respectively. The functions of cold storage and normal temperature can be converted according to different temperature settings, for example, when the temperatures of all three first compartments 102 are set within the range of 2 ℃ to 10 ℃, the three first compartments become 3 cold storage compartments. When the refrigerating chamber is set to be closed, the reversing valve 110 cuts off the refrigerant delivery of the refrigerating chamber, and the refrigerating chamber becomes a constant temperature chamber, generally the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is not lower than 0 DEG C

No refrigeration element is placed in the second compartment 106, which is a heating zone. At the bottom of the second compartment 106, a thermistor ceramic heating module, which is common today, is placed as a heating device 108. The temperature sensor 120 is disposed in the second compartment 106, and is generally set at a temperature of 65 ℃ to 75 ℃. Heating is stopped when the temperature of the second compartment 106 reaches 80 c. When the closed state is set, the second compartment 106 becomes a room temperature cabinet.

The heating system includes the major components of a heating device 108 (e.g., a thermistor unit), a crossflow blower, a cover plate 116, left and right brackets 118, a blower 112, a face shield 114, and the like. The left and right brackets 118 secure the heating device 108 and the cross-flow fan in the cabinet 100. The cross-flow fan sucks cold air from the grille of the face cover 114 of the fan 112, namely the air inlet 128, heats the cold air by the heating device 108, and blows the cold air out of the air outlet 130 on the cover plate 116, so that air circulation is formed in the second compartment 106, and the air in the second compartment 106 is rapidly heated.

The storage device of the embodiment can meet the requirements of different users to the maximum extent, and commodities placed inside are more diversified.

The embodiment provided by the application is described in detail in combination with the attached drawings, and through the embodiment, the storage conditions of the storage device are effectively enriched, the storage types of the storage device are increased, the use range of the storage device is expanded, and the diversified commodity requirements of users can be met.
