Figure 4 is a diagram for explaining a storage box according to a storage method for electronic devices according to the present invention.

Figure 4 illustrates the shape of a storage box according to the storage method of the electronic device.

Storage boxes for storing and storing electronic devices may have different shapes depending on how the electronic devices are stored.

In Figure 4(a), a storage box applying a storage method of dropping electromagnetism is illustrated. At this time, the storage box may be a box type (box structure) with a certain amount of space.

In Figure 4(b), a storage box that applies a storage method of pushing electronic devices into a specific space is illustrated. The storage box at this time has a Slot Type (slot structure) shape. Slot type (slot structure) can include a structure in which the slot is tilted at a certain angle in addition to a vertical or horizontal structure, depending on the storage direction.

Figure 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of the dimensions of a storage box according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the size of the storage box can be expressed as depth (indicated by Depth: D), height (indicated by Height: H), and width (indicated by Width: W).

In the case of the Box Type (box structure) in Figure 5(a), considering the case where the electronic device is not normally seated in a specific location and is stored at an angle to the wall of the storage box, or is stored vertically, For example, it is designed to be 180mm (D)

In the case of the Slot Type (slot structure) in Figure 5(b), each storage slot is designed to have a size of 170mm (D)

In order to store electronic devices in a storage box, there are essential conditions to consider depending on the direction and height of the electronic device in the storage box.

The electronic device storage system 100 has a storage box structure and a storage/storage algorithm that minimizes shock to electronic devices stored first during continuous storage, thereby reducing damage to electronic devices stored first. .

The structure and storage/storage algorithm of these storage boxes are essential because electronic devices must be continuously stored cumulatively in a specific space (storage box).

Figure 6 is a diagram showing the form of impact when an electronic device is inserted, depending on the type of storage box.

Figure 6(a) illustrates that in a box type (box structure), an electronic device impacts a specific position of a storage box depending on the input angle (Drop Φ).

In Figure 6(b), after the inserted electronic device self-moves on a slide structure inclined at a certain inclination in the box type, it impacts a specific position of the storage box. exemplifies this.

In particular, in the Box Type (box structure) in Figure 6(a), the input angle (Drop Φ) and height of the input port are designed so that electronic devices that are inserted later do not shock the electronic devices that are inserted first and stored. can do.

Figure 7 is a diagram for explaining the sliding structure of the storage box according to the present invention.

The electronic device storage system 100 may be provided with a storage box that includes a slide structure that not only ensures that input electronic devices are placed at a specific location and has minimal impact, but also reduces shock to the electronic devices being stored to a minimum. You can.

Based on the direction in which the electronic device falls, the slide structure can be designed to have an angle between 30 and 75 degrees between the slide structures so that the electronic device can slide and the impact can be alleviated step by step.

The slide structure is designed to be angled more than 30 degrees in the vertical direction to reduce shock within the storage box, and to provide a slide function, the slide structure is maintained at 75 degrees or less to allow the electronic device to move on its own.

Separate auxiliary materials may be added to the surface of the slide structure to cushion impacts and prevent scratches, etc. from occurring in electronic devices. However, the electronic device storage system 100 can be designed by flexibly adjusting the installation angle of the slide structure in cases where the sliding function of the electronic device is reduced due to auxiliary materials.

Figure 7(a) illustrates a Multi Stage in which the slide structure is designed in multiple stages so that electronic devices inserted from a high position slide while mitigating the impact and finally reach a specific position in the storage box.

Figure 7(b) illustrates a detached stage that relieves the impact when an electronic device reaches a specific position by using an inverted V-shaped slide structure installed at a low position.

The slide structure may have different structural forms depending on the location where the electronic device is inserted.

When the insertion position is high as shown in Figure 7(a), the slide structure may be composed of several stages.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7(b), when the insertion position is low or the size of the storage box is large, a separate stage structure can be applied as the slide structure. The angle between the slide structures can be designed between 30 and 75 degrees.

Figure 8 is a structural example of the Door/non-Door type of a Slot type storage box.

As shown in Figure 8, a storage box with a slot type structure may have a structure in which a door is attached to each slot or not.

The slot to which the door is attached is implemented to move in four directions, up/down/left/right, depending on the opening/closing direction of the door, and a locking device can be installed as needed.

Figure 9 is a diagram illustrating the storage operation and lock shape when SLIDE is inserted into the SLOT type storage structure.

If the storage box structure is a slot type, a simple door structure that only opens and closes can be used without using a door with a locking device.

The electronic device storage system 100 applies a seesaw structure to a slide structure with a certain depth in order to make it difficult to take out the stored electronic devices in a simple door structure, so that an outsider can take out the electronic devices through the input door. You can make it impossible.

The electronic device storage system 100 adds a seesaw-shaped structure as shown in FIG. 9 at the end where the electronic device is inserted.

In the seesaw structure, when part A is pushed by the input load of the electronic device, part B on the inlet side rises due to the seesaw structure (C) at a specific point, preventing the door from opening after the electronic device is inserted. Make it so that it doesn't happen.

ⓐ in FIG. 9 is an example of application of a locking device using a structure having a seesaw structure when there is no locking device on the storage box inlet door of the slide structure. The door is structured so that when an electronic device is pushed in, it can be easily pushed to allow the electronic device to enter (it is a spring-connected structure, so if there is no pushing force, it will return to its original state).

ⓑ in FIG. 9 is an example showing the door opening failure phenomenon when the seesaw structure locking device operates after the electronic device to be stored is inserted through the door.

ⓒ and ⓓ in Figure 9 are examples of operation steps when actual electronic devices are inserted. When an electronic device is inserted into the slot of the slide structure, part A of the seesaw structure is pushed downward and part B rises upward due to the load of the electronic device. The seesaw structure prevents the inlet door from opening further due to the structure in which part B protrudes upward, thereby providing a structure in which electronic devices inserted from the outside cannot be removed by other hands or devices.

In general, storage and storage methods may vary depending on the purchaser and method of electronic devices. If it is not a storage box with an automation function, you can implement and operate the storage box in the following way.

Implementation methods other than automated storage include a method without an operator and a method in which an operator is responsible for some operations.

The method without an operator requires communication and linking between the archive and the server. In particular, technology to check whether electronic devices have been placed in the storage box is important.

Leaving the operator responsible for part of the operation eliminates the need for semi-automated functions, as the operator's reliability can be replaced by the intelligent functions of a traditional locker.

In other words, if the operator ensures the work, that is, the function of checking the status of electronic devices and the insertion status of the storage box, there is no problem even if the automatic recognition function of the storage box is slightly reduced. So in this case, the operator can receive the electronic device directly from the customer, check its condition, and then show an example that it can just be put in. Additionally, in this case, by placing the electronic device in a specific storage box, it is possible to immediately confirm that the electronic device has been purchased.

The following briefly describes storage and storage methods according to the operating entity.

During person-to-person (C2C) analysis: After recording information on electronic devices, store and store it in drawers and specific boxes.

When analyzing individual-to-tool linkage: After purchase, attach a tag with information on the electronic device, and store and store it in a drawer or specific box.

If the electronic device storage system 100 has a structure in which the inside of the storage box falls downward in a slide manner, the electronic device storage system 100 checks the sequential movement pattern with a tilt value corresponding to the slide angle, calculates the GPS and sensor values of the final location, and locates the storage box. You can check the coordinates and height.

Storage boxes according to the storage method of electronic devices can be implemented in a drop method and a slot method.

The drop method may be a method in which, when an electronic device is inserted into a specific slot, it moves according to its internal structure and is dropped to the final storage location.

The drop method may be a method in which the electronic device moves in a slide structure up to a certain location and then falls.

The structure of the slot can be designed to store electronic devices horizontally or vertically, and can have a certain inclination.

In the slot method, electronic devices can be stored in a horizontal structure and can have a SLIDE structure.

The slot method may be a method of storing/storing one or more electronic devices by individually inserting them into a specific drawer.

If the storage box has a partition structure in one large drawer, the drop and slot combination methods can be adopted.
