Fig. 4 is a schematic view of a gravity identification intelligent container according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the intelligent container includes a cabinet 410, a plurality of

gravity sensors

420 and 460, and a processor (not shown). The

gravity sensor

420 and 460 is disposed inside the cabinet 410, and the processor is in communication connection with the

gravity sensor

420 and 460.

As shown, the cabinet 410 includes multiple shelves 421 and 425 (the number of the shelves is not limited) for placing the goods to be weighed for purchase. Gravity sensors 420-460 are disposed below each level of shelves 421-425 to gauge the mass of the items on each level of shelves. For the convenience of detection and metering, it is preferable that the same shelf be loaded with the same item of merchandise. According to an embodiment of the present invention, two kinds of commodities with different unit prices can be placed on each layer of the shelf. Independent gravity sensors are arranged below commodities with different unit prices to measure the mass of the same commodity with the same unit price on the layer of shelf. The unit price here is, for example, the price of a product weighed per kilogram or kilogram.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the container 410 can comprise a door, and the door is installed on the cabinet body in a manner that one side is opened as shown in the figure. The container 410 may also include two doors, which can be mounted on the body of the container by opening from the middle to both sides, opening from both sides to the middle, and the like. The cabinet body can also be provided with a slideway, the cabinet door is arranged on the slideway, and the cabinet door is opened in a two-side push-pull mode. According to the utility model discloses an embodiment, the cabinet door can be made for transparent material, makes the user can follow the cabinet outside clear see the packing cupboard in the commodity kind.

According to the utility model discloses an embodiment, can further include cabinet door state inductive detector between the cabinet body and the cabinet door, detect the on-off state of cabinet door. When the door is opened, the

gravity sensor

420 and 460 are activated. In some embodiments, the gravity sensor 420-460 measures the quality of the commodity once at regular intervals and sends the detection results to the processor. In other embodiments, when the quality of the merchandise detected by the

gravity sensors

420 and 460 changes, the

gravity sensors

420 and 460 send the changed new quality to the processor. After the cabinet door is closed, the communication interface of the intelligent container sends the commodity quality change and one or more of unit price and consumption amount to the server, and then the server generates an order. And the server subtracts the quality of the commodities on the goods shelf after the cabinet door is closed from the quality of the commodities on the goods shelf before the cabinet door is opened to obtain the quality of the commodities taken out by the user, and calculates the transaction amount. The server may also send the order to the user terminal. Meanwhile, the intelligent container can also receive information such as the amount of money and orders of the transaction transmitted by the remote server.

In some embodiments, the communication interface of the intelligent container may only send the change in commodity quality or the change in commodity quality and the unit price to calculate the consumption amount by the server. Or the communication interface of the intelligent container can send the commodity quality change, the unit price and the consumption amount.

According to the utility model discloses an embodiment, can also include image recognition equipment in the cabinet body or the intelligent packing cupboard surrounding environment for user's action in front of the discernment intelligent packing cupboard, for example, pick up or put down goods. When the user does not put the picked-up article back in place, the image recognition device may recognize and record this behavior. Further, in some cases, the user may be prompted to replace the merchandise.

Because the utility model discloses well intelligent packing cupboard mainly sells the commodity that needs to weigh, like fresh fruit, fresh vegetables etc. according to the utility model discloses an embodiment can also include humidity monitoring equipment and humidifier (not shown in the figure) etc. in the intelligence packing cupboard for air humidity in the response packing cupboard to under the lower condition of humidity in the packing cupboard, if be less than a certain threshold value of setting for, open the humidifier, the humidifier is with form humidification air such as spraying and fruit, vegetables etc.. The threshold value set here is related to the type of goods stored in the container.

According to the utility model discloses an embodiment, intelligent packing cupboard can also further include display 430, and it is connected with the treater. As shown in fig. 4, the display 430 may be installed on one side of the cabinet body where the cabinet door is opened, and has a moderate height from the ground, so that the user can conveniently read the quality and amount of the goods on the shelf after taking the goods. According to the utility model discloses an embodiment, display 430 also can arrange cabinet body top or cabinet in vivo in, even arrange the surrounding environment in to the face user watches well.

In some embodiments, when the commodity mass of the gravity sensor decreases, the display displays the change in the commodity mass and the unit price and the amount of money consumed by the commodity relative to the opening of the cabinet door from the first gravity sensor. When the commodity quality of the first gravity sensor is increased, the display still displays the commodity quality change and the commodity unit price and the consumption amount of the first gravity sensor relative to the opening of the cabinet door. That is, the display always displays the quality, unit price, and amount of consumption of the commodity that the user has taken, regardless of whether the user takes or puts back the commodity.

In some embodiments, when the commodity quality of the first gravity sensor changes, the display displays the commodity name of the commodity with the changed quality, namely the commodity name of the commodity taken by the user. In order to facilitate the user to select the commodity, the display can also display one or more of pictures, quality guarantee periods, manufacturers, importers, production places, ingredient tables and heat meters of the commodity with changed quality. This can greatly facilitate the user, especially for the elderly or people with poor eyesight. In some embodiments, the display can also display the preference information of the taken commodity, so that the user can know the preference information conveniently, and shopping is more convenient.

For example, when a user approaches an intelligent container, the commodities displayed in the container can be clearly seen. If the goods are weighed in the cabinet, the cabinet door of the intelligent container needs to be unlocked firstly. The manner of unlocking the cabinet door has been explained in the foregoing, and will not be described in detail herein. After the cabinet door is opened, the user can take the goods on the goods shelf according to the needs of the user. And the gravity sensor below each layer of shelf measures the change condition of the quality of the commodities on each layer of shelf and sends the change condition to the processor. Meanwhile, the processor displays the type, quality and amount of the commodity taken by the user on the display.

After the cabinet door is closed, the door state sensor transmits the closing state of the cabinet door to the processor in time, the processor transmits all commodity information taken by a user to the server through the communication interface, the server can push orders to the mobile terminal of the user, and the user finishes the transaction after completing payment.

The above embodiments are provided only for the purpose of illustration, and are not intended to limit the present invention, and those skilled in the relevant art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention, and therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should also belong to the scope of the present invention.
