Problems solved by technology

If the door of the vending machine is opened and the goods are loaded manually, the outside temperature will invade and the temperature inside the vending machine will fluctuate greatly, which wastes energy and makes it difficult to quickly achieve the purpose of maintaining a given temperature
[0004] 2 Automatic vending equipment often has the function of cash collection at the same time, so that the loader can have access to cash when he opens the door, which is not conducive to the separate management of money and goods
[0005] 3. During manual loading, due to negligence, items may be loaded in the wrong lane, or may not be placed continuously, resulting in possible sales errors
[0006] 4. The manual loading method cannot realize the automatic collection and management of computer information on inventory
However, online shopping has the problem of inconvenient last stop: the deliveryman and the buyer need to make an appointment in advance, and the agreement is often made in advance. If any one of the two parties changes, one of them will always be forced to wait. Or if the delivery fails and needs to be re-delivered, it will often cause inconvenience to the deliveryman or the buyer. If it can be agreed in advance at a given place near the buyer (such as a vending machine in the community), the delivery Putting it into the vending machine, and the buyer picks up the goods from the vending machine, which can effectively solve this problem

Embodiment 1

[0062] Example 1 : Set a vending machine, such as an automatic meal vending machine, placed in an office building, the equipment is rented by three operators, each operator rents 10 cargo lanes, and each operator has three kinds of fast food to load. It is assumed that the fast food of each operator adopts the reservation method, so the reservation quantity of each fast food is known. Therefore, each operator can pre-allocate dynamically through the network management platform according to the capacity of each aisle, which aisles correspond to which fast food and the quantity of a given vending machine. Each fast food has a barcode logo on the top.

[0063] 1 Assuming that a designated loader of an operator comes to the vending machine to load goods, the loader first clicks the relevant button on the touch screen on the vending machine, and the control system of the vending machine first requires the loader to input the job number and Password to check the legitimacy of the...

Embodiment 2

[0082] Example 2 : Assuming that a user purchases an item through the Internet, the user selects the delivery and pickup method on the e-commerce website. If the user chooses to pick up the item through a nearby vending machine, the system will provide the purchaser with nearby available vending machines for the user to choose. The user chooses to pick up the order on a specific device.

[0083] Then when the item arrives at the last stop, the delivery personnel only need to follow the Example 1Each step in puts the item in the vending machine. At the same time, the e-commerce network system can send the buyer a pick-up number through the mobile phone or by email. After the item arrives at the designated vending machine, the buyer will receive the relevant arrival information. The object number is authenticated by interacting with the touch screen, and the object can be picked up.

[0084] 7: In the method of automatic loading included in the present invention, when there...

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for automatically loading and unloading goods in a vending machine. The goods are stored in a layering mode, a plurality of goods channels are formed in each layer and driven by motors, and infrared emission receiving devices are installed. A lifting pick-up cabin, an electrically operated gate and infrared emission receiving devices are arranged in an automatic vending machine goods container cabin. A RFID card reader, a bar code reader, a man-machine interface touch screen, a biometric feature recognition device and a network management platform are further installed on the vending machine. Due to the mode of full-automatic loading and unloading, when a door of the machine is opened, internal cold and heat energy losses are avoided, an operator is prevented from making contact with cash, and in combination with electronic commerce network shopping, the system and method improve efficiency of physical distribution, are convenient to use and rapid, keep warm, save energy and are advanced in technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of commercial machinery, in particular to a system and method for automatic loading and automatic delivery of vending machines integrating electronic information, computer network, Internet of Things, self-service, e-commerce, and electromechanical technology. Background technique [0002] Traditional vending machines use manual loading. When loading, the loader opens the door of the equipment with a key, pulls out the loading tray, and manually places the items one by one in the corresponding aisle. This loading method has the following disadvantages: [0003] 1.
