Novel unmanned vending machine control system

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel unmanned vending machine control system comprising the following units: a programmable logic controller PLC used for receiving a control module order and sending a signal to a driver; a power supply module used for powering up other modules of the system; the driver used for receiving a signal outputted by the PLC and controlling motor motions; a motor body controlled by an encoder so as to control a conveyer to move; the encoder used for outputting readings as motor motion orientations and step numbers; the control module used for sending orders to the PLC; a touch screen used for outputting a signal to the control module; the conveyer used for sending goods to each layer windows of the vending machine; a change module used for returning changes. The systemcan realize 24-hour unmanned supermarket operations, thus satisfying people basic life needs, and saving labor costs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of control systems, in particular to a novel unmanned vending machine control system. Background technique [0002] With the development of the economy and the progress of society, people's increasingly high-pressure life has become a common pattern. More and more people need to work overtime until late at night. At this time, many convenience stores have closed their doors. The penetration rate of 24H supermarkets It is not high, and it takes a long distance to get there. Based on this background, more and more vending machines have appeared in schools, factories, subways, hospitals, residential areas and other places. Artificial intelligence-based self-service is The development trend of various industries, the retail industry is of course no exception. [0003] As far as our country’s current supermarkets are concerned, the business hours of large supermarkets basically end at 9:30 in the evening, and th...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] As far as our country’s current supermarkets are concerned, the business hours of large supermarkets basically end at 9:30 in the evening, and the convenience stores on the roadside basically close at 10 o’clock, while the number of 24-hour supermarkets is relatively small, and secondly, the distribution is relatively wide, requiring a long distance In addition, the 24-hour supermarket sells fewer types of goods, which cannot meet the needs of the people.

At the same time, with the increase of labor costs, 24H supermarkets are destined to encounter many cost problems

Therefore, in recent years, some people have tried unmanned supermarkets, but the supervision of unmanned supermarkets has become a problem. The purchase process has shortcomings, and it does not save a lot of space. In the hot summer, people who do not need to buy goods enter the unmanned supermarket to cool off. , which greatly affects the user shopping experience
