Intelligent inventory management method of vending machine with cargo receiving platform

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent inventory management method of a vending machine with a cargo receiving platform. The method includes the steps: mounting ultrasonic distance measurement deviceson opposite cargo channels on the cargo receiving platform of the vending machine, and presetting standard distance values of cargo channel outermost commodities and cargo channel inventory state tables in a control system of the vending machine; controlling shelves and cargo channels of the cargo receiving platform to run one by one and the ultrasonic distance measurement devices to detect distances among outermost commodities of the cargo channels and the cargo receiving platform according to the shelves and the cargo channels one by one by the control system after replenishment once, or controlling the cargo receiving platform to move to selling channels and the ultrasonic distance measurement devices to measure the distances among outermost commodities of the selling channels and thecargo receiving platform by the control system after selling once; judging a fact that the cargo channels have cargoes and updating states of the cargo channels in the cargo channel inventory state tables when the detected cargo channel distance values are smaller than or equal to standard distance values; judging a fact that the cargo channels do not have cargoes and updating the cargo channel inventory state tables when the detected cargo channel distance values are larger than the standard distance values.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic vending machine, in particular to an automatic inventory management method for an automatic vending machine with a lifting system. Background technique [0002] At present, there are many shipping methods for vending machines on the market, such as spring shipping, conveyor belt shipping, and chain shipping. For vending machines with a lifting system, the delivery method is that the lifting system moves to the front of the shelf aisle that needs to be shipped, and the goods fall from the shelf to the lifting platform through springs or other methods, and then the lifting platform moves to the delivery port. A process in which the buyer takes away the commodity. In this process, the inventory management of the vending machine relies on the administrator to manually input the management system of the vending machine, in which there are many processes involving human participation, such as the replenishment process; ...
