Description

A CABINET COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE STORAGE SEGMENT AND METHOD TO OPERATE THE SAME

This International Application claims priority from a complete patent application filed in India having Patent Application No. 201841001594, filed on January 15, 2018 and titled“A CABINET COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE STORAGE

SEGMENT AND METHOD TO OPERATE THE SAME”.

BACKGROUND

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to cabinets, and more particularly to a cabinet comprising at least one storage segment and method to operate the same. A cabinet is a piece of furniture with one or more doors or one or more drawers or one or more shelves which is used to store miscellaneous items. One type of cabinet is kept on the ground alone. Another type of cabinet is built into the wall or attached to the wall. The cabinet is used in various applications like kitchen, bedroom, hospitals, institutions, shops or the like. In one approach, opening and closing of the cabinet is controlled by a servo motor which works bi-directionally. The mechanism of the servo motor is controlled by a microcontroller which is integrated with infrared sensors and is connected to a battery. However, such systems do not measure the load on the cabinet, which makes the cabinet less durable. Also the system increases the hardware being used which makes the system bulky for the user to control the cabinet. Further, the system does not count the number of times the cabinet is being opened and closed which makes the user unaware of the operation of the cabinet with the absence of the user.

In another approach, the cabinets include horizontal slats which are placed in an inward stair-step configuration. The cabinets are coupled to a control system to raise and lower the horizontal slats of the cabinets. The cabinets are coupled with a rotor, a stepped wheel and a pulley which is used to raise or lower the horizontal slats. However, in such systems the load on the cabinets is not being sensed and alerted. Also such systems are restricted to horizontal slats.

Hence, there is a need for a cabinet comprising at least one storage segment and method to operate the same to address the aforementioned issue. BREIF DESCRIPTION
