Problems solved by technology

[0005] The food in the existing food vending machine is diverse, and the type of food placed in the same position in the existing vending machine storage box must be the same, which makes it necessary for employees to place food in a fixed storage box Put the specified type of food in the box, that is, the type and maximum quantity of food in each storage box are the same. However, in actual sales, in a certain area, some foods often sell very well, and some foods sell well. In another area, due to the user's taste, the situation of food sales is just the opposite; therefore, the existing vending machines cannot change the type and maximum quantity of food stored in each storage box according to the actual sales volume
[0006] At the same time, if a two-dimensional code for each position is used, it is impossible to accurately understand the information of the food placed in each position inside the food vending machine; Mistakes lead to poor user experience

Abstract

The invention discloses a restocking method for a food vending machine, which is used for carrying out restocking for the vending machine. The method comprises the steps of: designing a unique two-dimensional code for each food placing cavity; in each time the vending machine needs restocking, a staff reading the two-dimensional code on the food placing cavity where a meal box to be placed by using a camera in the vending machine to acquire the position information of the storage cavity; then reading the two-dimensional code of the box meals to be placed to acquire food information; the vending machine binding the food information of the meal box to be placed in the current food placing cavity, sending the information to the cloud server; and the cloud server storing the information in a database and updating original food information and inventory of the food placing cavity. According to the restocking method for the food vending machine, by means of twice code scanning of the staff,each box meal stored in the vending machine corresponds to an accurate food placing cavity position, so that it is easy for the staff to replenish, and utilization rate of the storage cabinet is improved.
