Next, based on the initial position of the cell 109, the position of the target cell 109 is detected to determine the position of the target cell 109. Specifically, the control mechanism can control the driving motor 175 to rotate to drive the storage rack 103 to rotate, so that the second sensor 127 is matched with the first detection portion 129 of the target cell 109, so that the target storage cell 109 rotates to a position opposite to the access opening, and then the control mechanism controls the electronic lock at the access opening to be unlocked, at this time, the access door can be opened, and the user finishes the access of the articles.

When the access door is closed, the electronic lock locks the position of the access door, and the rotary locker 100 can detect the object in the target storage compartment 109 to confirm the state of the target storage compartment 109. Specifically, the control mechanism controls the driving motor 175 to operate, and drives the storage rack 103 to rotate, so that the target storage bay 109 rotates to the optical transmission path of the first detection component corresponding to the storage area 107 to which the target storage bay belongs, light emitted by the light emitter 123 mounted on the supporting frame 137 can pass through the first light-transmitting opening 111, the front opening 113 and the second light-transmitting opening 139 in sequence and then be received by the light receiver 125 on the first mounting frame 121, and whether the optical path between the light emitter 123 and the light receiver 125 of the article detection mechanism is blocked is determined by detecting a signal output by the light receiver 125, if the optical path is blocked, it is determined that an article is present in the target storage bay 109, and if the optical path is not blocked, it is determined that no article is present in the target storage bay 109. When a user wants to store articles in the storage cabinet, the control mechanism can control the driving motor 175 to drive the storage rack 103 to rotate, so that one storage compartment 109 without articles is opposite to the access opening, and the user can place the articles in the storage compartment 109.

In the above working process, the rotary storage cabinet 100 is provided with the second sensor 127 and the optical receiver 125 of the first sensor on the first mounting frame 121, the optical emitter 123 of the first sensor on the supporting frame 137 of the hollow cavity, the third sensor 155 on the second mounting frame 159, and the first detecting part 129 matched with the second sensor 127 and the second detecting part 157 matched with the third sensor 155 on the storage area 107, so that on one hand, the installation positions of various sensors can be limited and integrated to improve the integration degree of the sensors, the installation and wiring processes are simplified, the maintainability of the rotary storage cabinet 100 is improved, on the other hand, the detection of the presence of objects in the grid 109 and the position of the grid 109 can be realized in the rotating process of the storage frame 103, and therefore, the detection efficiency can be improved, and the high efficiency of the rotary storage cabinet can be ensured.
