Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiments described herein. Based on the embodiments of the present invention described in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

First, a storage bin according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a storage container 10 includes a storage container main body 100 and a lock mechanism 101 provided on the storage container main body 100.

Wherein, locking mechanical system 101 includes: a bracket 1011 disposed on the storage compartment main body 100; a clamping structure 1012 arranged on the bracket 1011; a solenoid valve 1013 disposed on the bracket 1011, the solenoid valve 1013 being coupled to the engaging structure 1012 for controlling the engaging and releasing of the engaging structure 1012; and a snap detection plate 1014 disposed in a moving direction of the snap structure 1012 for generating an electrical signal when the snap structure 1012 is transformed to a snap or open state.

Specifically, the electromagnetic valve 1013 and the engaging structure 1012 may be mechanically coupled, or the movable shaft of the electromagnetic valve 1013 abuts against the engaging structure 1012 to push the engaging structure 1012 to move wholly or partially.

Specifically, the electromagnetic valve 1013 is an electromagnetic structure, also called a dc electromagnet, and mainly comprises four parts, namely a coil, an iron core, an armature, and a spring. An electromagnet is an electrical appliance that uses the electromagnetic attraction force generated by a current-carrying core coil to operate a mechanical device to accomplish a desired action. It is an electromagnetic element that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Snap detector plate 1014 is an electronic PCBA piece. The micro-switch is mainly designed by a micro-switch and a PCB according to specific functions. The working principle is as follows: the electronic part of the buckle detection plate 1014 provides 3.3V/1mA current, when a contact of the micro switch is not pressed down, the micro switch is switched off, and the voltages at two ends of the micro switch are different, so that a loop cannot be formed; when the contact of the micro switch is pressed down, the micro switch is conducted, the two ends of the micro switch form a loop voltage which is the same, and the high voltage is driven to be changed into the low voltage. That is, snap detector plate 1014 converts mechanical structure motion into electrical signals of varying high and low levels.

The electromagnetic valve drives the clamping structure to lock and unlock the shared equipment accommodated in the accommodating bin, the clamping structure is detected whether to be in place or not through the buckle detection plate, and the contact condition of the clamping structure and the shared equipment is used for further detecting and judging whether the shared equipment is returned effectively or not, so that the effect of effectively preventing the shared equipment from being stolen is achieved.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the locking mechanism 101 comprises: bracket 1011, snap-fit structure 1012, solenoid 1013, snap detector plate 1014, shaft 1015 and spring 1016. Specifically, the engaging structure 1012 is further rotatably fixed on the bracket 1011 through the rotating shaft 1015, one end of the spring 1016 is coupled to the engaging structure 1012, and the other end is coupled to the bracket 1011; the solenoid valve 1013 is disposed on the bracket 1011, and the movable end of the solenoid valve 1013 pushes the engaging structure 1012 to rotate around the rotating shaft 1015 during the moving process.

In one embodiment, the two ends of the spring 1016 are respectively configured to connect with the engaging structure 1012 and the holes respectively disposed on the bracket 1011, so as to provide an elastic force against the thrust of the solenoid 1013 when the solenoid 1013 pushes the engaging structure 101 to rotate.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the snap-fit structure 1012 includes: the engaging structure body 10121 and the first protrusion 10123 extending from the engaging structure body 10121, the snap detecting plate 1014 is disposed on a rotation direction of the first protrusion 10123. Specifically, as the solenoid pushes the snap feature 1012 to rotate, the first protrusion 10123 activates a micro switch on the snap detector plate 1014.

Further, the engaging structure 1012 includes: the locking structure body 10121 and the buckle 10122 that extends from the locking structure body 10121, wherein, the pivot 1015 will be fixed in the support 1011 with the locking structure body 10121 is rotatable.

Further, a first protrusion 10123 extends in a direction opposite to the extending direction of the catch 10122, and a catch detection plate 1014 is disposed on the cartridge body 100 between the cartridge body 100 and the first protrusion 10123.

Specifically, a storage compartment is disposed in the storage compartment main body 100 for storing shared devices, and the locking mechanism 101 is disposed at one side of the storage compartment main body 100, wherein the shared devices are typically rental-type power supplies. Further, the magazine body 100 includes a control circuit board (not shown) provided at one end of the magazine body 100, the control circuit board being electrically connected to the solenoid valve 1013 and the catch detection plate 1014 for controlling the actuation and the closing of the solenoid valve 1013 upon the triggering of the catch detection plate 1014. The buckle 10122 penetrates through the side wall of the storage bin main body 100 to a clamping position in the accommodating bin, wherein the clamping position is clamped to the shared device, so that the shared device is locked.

When the engaging structure 1012 rotates, the first protrusion 10123 may trigger a micro switch of the snap detecting plate 1014 arranged in the rotation direction, and further may trigger a control circuit on the control circuit board, so as to identify whether the shared device is locked in place by the snap 10122, and determine whether the shared device is effectively returned, thereby preventing the shared device from being lost due to ineffective locking.

The working principle of the present invention is further described below with reference to fig. 3 and 4.

After the electromagnetic valve 1013 is powered on, the movable shaft of the electromagnetic valve will eject out and act on the engaging structure body 10121, and then the first protrusion 10123 is driven to move downwards from the contact C to the contact D, so as to trigger the micro switch on the buckle detection plate 1014, and meanwhile, one end of the buckle 10122 moves from the contact a to the contact B, so as to complete the unlocking action of the sharing device.

In the power-off state of the electromagnetic valve 1013, the movable shaft of the electromagnetic valve 1013 cannot contact with the engaging structure body 10121, and then the engaging structure 1012 is stretched by the spring 1016, and one end of the buckle 10122 moves to the contact a, and simultaneously the first protrusion 10123 moves to the contact C, so as to complete the locking action of the shared device.

When the first protrusion 10123 extends from the contact C to the contact D, after the buckle detection plate 1014 is triggered, the high voltage signal is converted into a high voltage signal to indicate that the returning operation of the sharing device is completed, one end of the buckle 10122 is clamped in a clamping hole formed in the sharing device, and the sharing device is reliably locked by combining the elastic force of the spring 1016.

When the shared charging equipment blocks the clamping hole due to foreign matters, the first protrusion 10123 is always positioned at the contact D, the buckle detection plate 1014 is triggered to be always at a high level, and the shared charging equipment is indicated to be abnormally and cannot be normally locked.

When the working state position of the buckle is from a contact C to a contact D, after the buckle detection plate 1014 is triggered, a high level is changed to a low level signal to indicate normal lending; if the voltage signal change is not detected, a loan anomaly is indicated.

Specifically, in the locked and unlocked states of the shared device, the operating states of the storage bin 10 are as follows:

locking the shared device: when the sharing device is placed in the storage bin and locked, the first protrusion 10123 is at a contact C (see fig. 3), at this time, the first protrusion is not in contact with a micro switch arranged on the buckle detection plate 1014, the micro switch is disconnected, one end of the micro switch is connected with GND, one end of the micro switch, which is connected with a control circuit (MCU) arranged on the control circuit board, is pulled up to a high level (3.3V), and since the micro switch is disconnected at this time, the MCU can detect that an output signal from the buckle detection plate 1014 is the high level (3.3V), which indicates that the sharing device is locked.

The shared device is not locked: when the shared device is placed in the storage bin and is unlocked, the contact of the clamping structure 1012 must be located at a point D (see fig. 3), at the moment, the contact of the clamping structure 1012 is pressed down to the microswitch of the buckle detection plate 1014 to enable the microswitch to be closed and conducted, one end of the microswitch is connected with GND, one end of the microswitch connected with the MCU is pulled up to a high level (3.3V), and as the microswitch is conducted at the moment, the two ends of the microswitch are pulled to the GND on average, and the MCU can detect that an output signal from the buckle detection plate 1014 is changed into a low level (0V), which indicates that the shared device is not locked.

When the MCU detects that the shared equipment is locked, the following decryption and other processes are continued; when the MCU detects that the shared device is unlocked, the structure can be continuously driven for a plurality of times to execute the locking action, and the subsequent process can not be continued. The locking reliability of the storage bin and the access controllability of the shared equipment can be guaranteed, and the shared equipment can be prevented from being designed to be stolen and being decrypted maliciously.

The C/D and a/B in fig. 3 and 4 are for dynamically representing two position states of the snap structure 1012 when unlocking and locking the shared device, wherein the dotted line B/D represents the motion trajectory of the snap structure 1012 in the unlocked state, and the solid line a/C represents the motion trajectory of the snap structure 1012 in the locked state.

Unlocking action: after the electromagnetic valve 1013 is powered on, the movable shaft of the electromagnetic valve will eject out and act on the engaging structure 1012, and then the engaging structure 1012 moves downward from point C to point D (see fig. 3), so as to trigger the micro switch on the buckle detection plate 1014, thereby completing the unlocking action of the whole sharing device.

Locking action: when the solenoid valve 1013 is in a power-off state, the movable shaft thereof cannot contact the engaging structure 1012, the engaging structure 1012 is connected to the bracket 1011 through the spring 1016, and the engaging structure 1012 moves to the point a (see fig. 3) under the action of the spring 1016, thereby completing the locking operation of the whole sharing device.

As shown in fig. 4, when the normal shared device returns, the structure card of the shared device contacts the engaging structure 1012 of the storage bin, the working state position of the engaging structure 1012 is changed from C → D → C, after triggering the card fastening detection board 1014, the voltage signal is converted into a voltage signal of H (1) → L (0) → H (1), and the voltage signal is reported to the main control chip on the control circuit board to indicate that the returning operation of the shared device is completed, and the card fastening reliably locks the shared device through the self elastic force. If a user wraps the clip of the shared device structure by using an adhesive tape or other materials, when the shared device is stolen, the working state of the clip structure 1012 is always at the position D, the clip detection board 1014 is triggered to be an H (1) voltage signal all the time, and the reported voltage signal indicates that the shared device is in the warehouse, but the shared device cannot be normally locked due to abnormality, and the abnormal theft condition is processed according to the reported voltage signal.

When normal shared equipment is lent, the structure position of the same shared equipment is contacted with the clamping structure 1012 of the storage bin, the working state position of the clamping structure 1012 is changed from C → D → C after triggering the clamping detection plate 1014 to be a voltage signal of H (1) → L (0) → H (1), the voltage signal is reported to the main control chip on the control circuit board to indicate that lending is normal, and if the signal is not detected, lending exception processing is performed.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a rental apparatus, comprising at least one storage compartment 10 as described above.

The anti-theft mode of the storage bin is based on the unique design of the storage bin, and the shared equipment side does not need to be changed. The storage bin can effectively prevent the theft of the shared equipment, the borrowing/returning action of the shared equipment can be controlled and sensed, and meanwhile, the storage bin is simple in structure and low in manufacturing cost.
