Embodiment 1

[0045] Embodiment 1, return a single shopping cart:

[0046] In this embodiment, the shopping place uses recognizable two-dimensional code images placed at intervals on the ground as location identification marks. The load module of the shopping cart contains pressure sensors, which can sense whether there are items placed on the shopping cart. An image sensor is installed directly under the shopping cart to recognize position identification marks on the floor of the shopping place. The positioning module can obtain the definite position information of the shopping cart through identification of the mark and GPS positioning. The distance perception module is installed around the shopping cart. There are image sensors and radar sensors in the module to detect surrounding obstacles, and then the obstacle information is identified through the recognition algorithm in the module: the dynamic and static state of the obstacle, category: human Or items. The mobile control module c...

Embodiment 2

[0054] Embodiment 2, returning multiple shopping carts:

[0055] In this example, there are two shopping carts A and B in the return state at the same time. In order to avoid collisions of shopping carts, the intelligent management control system coordinates the path planning system to plan their own return routes for each shopping cart. The return routes of shopping carts A and B do not overlap, but there is an overlapping point P.

[0056] Therefore, the path planning system plans that car A passes through the coincidence point P at time t1, and car B passes through the coincidence point P at time t2. The moving speed of both cars is v, and the time difference between the two cars passing through point P is:

[0057] |t1-t2|>m*n;

[0058] m is the safety multiple, n is the safety time, and is the safety distance / v.

Abstract

The invention discloses a smart shopping cart and a using method thereof. The smart shopping cart comprises a shopping cart, a carrying capacity sensing module, a positioning module, a distance sensing module, an alarm module, a mobile control module, a communication module, and a position identification coordinate system, an intelligent management control system and a path planning system, wherein the carrying capacity sensing module, the positioning module, the distance sensing module, the alarm module, the mobile control module, and the communication module are installed at the shopping cart. According to the shopping cart, after a no-load state is determined and no body uses the shopping cart, the shopping cart can be returned to a shopping cart access region divided by a shopping areaautomatically; during the returning process, the marching route and moving mode of the shopping cart are adjusted according to the moving and static states and types of obstacles around the cart andthe distances between the obstacles and the shopping card until the shopping car returns to the shopping cart access region. Therefore, a problem that the shopping carts at the shopping area are arranged randomly in a non-uniform manner is solved; unmanned management of shopping cart returning is realized; the labor costs are lowered; the shopping efficiency is improved; and the technical basis isprovided for building an unnamed shopping mall.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an intelligent shopping cart and a using method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to the advantages of large scale, many commodities, good reputation and good service, shopping places have become the first choice for people to shop for leisure. However, with the continuous development of shopping places and the continuous increase of customers, more and more problems have emerged, among which the problem of uneven distribution of shopping carts is more prominent. After the customer finishes shopping and leaves, the shopping cart is stranded in a randomly distributed location, which often requires a lot of manpower to collect and transport it to the shopping cart centralized pick-and-place area; at the same time, there are no shopping carts in the shopping cart centralized pick-and-place area when shopping carts are needed Case. This greatly increases labor costs and shopping time. Contents of the invention [0003...
