Description

The invention relates to commercial refrigeration equipment with the function of blocking refrigerated compartments, designed to ensure the removal by the customer of pre-ordered products from the compartments, while the refrigerating cabinet is equipped with a communication device by means of which the compartments are opened wirelessly via the user's mobile phone. The utility model also refers to storage facilities for goods from online stores, as well as products and goods to be cooled during storage, with personal access to each cell.

Refrigerators are currently used in a variety of ways and for different purposes, for example, in commerce, hotels, restaurants, laboratories, and may store food and drugs that need to be restricted from access or consumption by people in a public area, resulting in serious the problem associated with the fact that the refrigerator is not equipped with cells with a system to prevent it from opening.

Known protective structure for a refrigerator (see patent for a useful model of the Russian Federation No. 68874, publ. 2007), containing a metal frame with a door frame, which is equipped with a security lock. The design is used in commercial equipment.

Known refrigerator equipped with an electromagnetic lock-timer (see patent for a useful model of the Russian Federation No. 102986, publ. 2011), containing a housing, a cooled chamber and a door, while the lock-timer is made on the basis of a microcontroller, equipped with a backup battery and attached without violating the integrity of the refrigerator body. The timer lock includes an L-shaped blocking element and is attached to the side surface of the refrigerator using a metal plate and a hinge. The timer lock contains control and indication elements.

It is known to divide the refrigerator into cells, each of which has its own door or lid, see GB 602590, GB 581121 and GB 579071, which describes a refrigerator in the form of a cabinet.

Known automated storage and pick-up point of goods (see RF patent for utility model No. 174365, publ. 2017), containing a central console connected to the first type of cabinet, containing cells for receiving and sending correspondence, and with the second type of cabinet, containing cells for receiving and sending perishable products, made with the possibility of cooling, while the central console is made with the ability to connect to a personal computer. The second type of cabinet contains cells for receiving and sending perishable products, which can be made with the possibility of individual cooling of each cell. The lockable doors of the containers of the corresponding cabinet are opened after the customer-user pays for the courier delivery or postpay service, which is realized, for example, by using a relay lock in the electrical circuit.

This known technical solution is chosen as a prototype, since it has the largest number of essential features that coincide with the essential features of the proposed technical solution.

The disadvantage of the prototype is that it does not provide for the opening of the individual compartment of the refrigerator wirelessly via the user's mobile phone.

To solve this problem, a refrigerator has been developed with lockable individual cells that can be opened by the user's mobile phone, which prevents use and unauthorized access to the products stored inside the refrigerator.

The technical result is to improve the reliability of control of unauthorized access to the cells of the refrigerator.

The technical result is achieved in that the refrigerating cabinet contains a parallelepiped-shaped body with a door, cooling equipment, cells with lockable doors, a communication device for opening doors, characterized in that the body with the door is made heat-insulated, inside the body there is a case with a cooled, vandal-resistant frame, which contains refrigerated cells with lockable vandal-resistant doors, equipped with individual locking devices with a control system, allowing the user to have authorized access to a specific cell of the refrigerator.

Refrigerating cabinet contains a casing in the form of a parallelepiped with a door, behind which is a case with a cooled, vandal-resistant frame, which, in turn, contains cells with lockable doors, while all the doors of the cells are equipped with an individual locking device with a remote control system via the user's mobile phone ... Cells can be cooled in a wide temperature range (+ 20C to -25C). The proposed device does not have a common cell control module as, for example, in the prototype, which increases the protection against unauthorized opening of cells by unauthorized persons, since there is no way to access the central control console.

The blocking device of the cells can be performed as follows. Each cell door is equipped with a flange, hinge or similar element that engages in an electromechanical lock engagement mechanism located on the wall of the case. The lock is opened by a control electrical impulse, after which the lock is unlocked. The control impulse for the electromechanical lock is formed by means of a set of electronic devices, while the set consists, for example, of a router with access to the Internet via a lan cable or via a 3G / 4G modem, a computer, a control pulse amplification unit, a mobile signal transmitter (client's smartphone , courier, administrator), which has a means of remote communication, a mobile application for a smartphone (software product), an electromechanical lock.

This enables direct data exchange between the devices on the one hand and the smartphone on the other hand using a wireless network such as a WLAN. On the other hand, data exchange via the Internet server is also possible, in which case the devices can communicate with the Internet server, for example via a WLAN router. Data exchange takes place via an Internet server. The communication connection with the internet server of the mobile phone is established via the mobile network.

An application in the form of a computer program is installed on a portable control device (smartphone), which the user can launch at any time. This is done by entering the corresponding control data on the touch surface of the smartphone. When the application is started, the control unit reproduces a graphical user interface on the smartphone, through which the corresponding compartment of the refrigerator can be opened by entering the corresponding control data.

This control impulse through software and the Internet can communicate with the mobile device of buyers, customers, couriers, technical personnel or other persons involved in the process of downloading and receiving products and goods.

The door is automatically locked mechanically after the user moves it to the closed position.

Remote control of door opening by means of a user's mobile phone allows access to a lockable individual cell without using a keyboard, touchscreen monitor and other devices. The mobile phone of the participants in the process (couriers, buyers, technicians, administrators and others) is installed software that allows you to exchange the necessary data with the software of the complex that controls the operation of the refrigerator and other devices involved in the system, and, if necessary, authorized to open the cell, the user, using the software interface of his mobile device, gets the opportunity to open the cell.

Examples of the proposed solution are presented in the figures:

FIG. 1 is a front view of the structure of a refrigerator without a protective casing.

Fig. 2 is a front view of the structure of a refrigerator cabinet with a protective casing.

FIG. 3 is a general view of the design of the refrigerator.

Referring to FIG. 1, 2, 3, the refrigeration cabinet has a body 1 in the form of a parallelepiped with door 2, cells 3, doors of cells 4, locks 5 of doors of cells 3, located in a vandal-proof case 6.

Case 1 contains cooling equipment 7 closed by a decorative casing 9 and a set of electronic devices 8, consisting of a router 10 with Internet access via a lan cable, or via a 3G / 4G modem and computer 11, a control pulse amplification unit 12.

In the case 1, made of, for example, Penopan heat-insulated sandwich panels (see http://penopan.ru/about/construction/) with a heat-insulated door 2, there is a vandal-proof case 6, made, for example, of polymer sheet steel. In the inner case 6, refrigerated cells 3 are provided, which are closed by vandal-proof doors 4 with electromechanical locks 5.

Cooling equipment 7, located in the upper part of the refrigerator, can operate on the principle of throttling freon in the evaporator. The evaporator fans create a uniform air movement throughout the entire internal volume of the refrigerator cabinet and compartments 3. Thus, the cooling of products and goods placed in a closed compartment 3. The main advantage over similar devices is that when compartment 3 is open (not accidentally closed) , the remaining cells 3 of the cabinet maintain the set temperature, since the entire internal volume of the cabinet is closed by the outer door 2.

Through the software installed on the server of the refrigerator, as well as in the mobile devices of users (buyers, couriers, administrators, technical personnel, etc.) through wired and wireless communication channels, there is a logical interaction between the end elements of the system (electromechanical lock 5 and the user ). This allows you to organize electronic purchase, delivery and placement, storage and collection of goods to be refrigerated during storage.

Several variants of the device operation are possible.

Option 1. The client installs the application on his mobile phone. The administrator of the software complex assigns him a specific refrigerated compartment 3. Through a mobile application, the client can open compartment 3 at any time. This can be used in hostels for storing food, in medical institutions by patients for storing food, in enterprises where employees can independently store and warm up their meals. etc.

Option 2. This scheme can be applied in medical institutions by medical personnel for storing drugs and preparations. In this case, access to a specific cell 3 with drugs can be assigned by the administrator of the software complex to a group of doctors and nurses. Each of the users also installs the corresponding software on the smartphone.

Option 3. Application for online grocery shopping. The client installs an application on his phone. Then, using this application, he enters the virtual store, selects the goods he is interested in, chooses the most suitable address for receiving the goods (where the groups of refrigerating cabinets are located), pays for the goods and waits for a notification of the delivery of the products. The seller, after receiving a message about the paid product, collects the order, if necessary dividing the goods into groups related to different temperature storage conditions. Further, this order goes to the courier, who also has a mobile device with an installed application. The courier delivers the order to a predetermined address and, having opened the necessary cells 3, places the order through the mobile application according to the required temperature storage conditions. After that, having closed cells 3, he marks the execution of the order in the application. An SMS and PUSH notification is automatically generated for the client, informing him that the order has been delivered. Further, the client at a convenient time for him has the opportunity to receive an order by opening cells 3 through his mobile device.
