Intelligent retail equipment of outside and inside use for convenience store, and system thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to new intelligent retail equipment of outside and inside use for a convenience store, and a system thereof. The equipment comprises an outer door, a cabinet, a cabinet control system, inner goods locations, an inner door, an electric control lock, a human-computer interaction component, a goods identification system, outer goods locations, an outer shipment motor, an outer goods shipment conveyor, an outer pickup port and a cloud control system. The portion inside the store is showed as refrigerated display cabinets, which, in addition to meeting the original refrigerating and display functions, can also realize the automatic identification and automatic settlement of consumer shopping, and avoid manpower occupying in the store caused by the consumers lining up at the checkout counter. The portion outside the store adopts a principle of mechanical shipment to meet the needs of a small amount of shopping for consumers after closing the store, and ensure food safety by separation of people and goods, with no personnel monitoring required. Both portions outside and inside the store are managed and controlled by a set of system. The equipment improves the space utilization rate of the store, improves the efficiency and speed of manual settlement, reduces the number of personnel required by the store, and solves the problem of night sales at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent vending equipment, in particular to an intelligent retail equipment and system for a convenience store with both internal and external uses. Background technique [0002] The conventional equipment of existing brand chain convenience stores includes shelves, refrigerated display cabinets, and cash registers. Check the manual settlement, and the personnel are also responsible for the safety supervision and safety guarantee of the store. [0003] With the popularization of smart phones and QR code scanning electronic payments, some stores have adopted self-service cash registers or self-service QR code payment channels for consumers, which has partially alleviated the problem of settlement queues during peak periods. [0004] In addition, with the development of technologies such as automatic payment and unmanned retail, some operators have begun to try "walk-in unmanned service stores", common...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At midnight when most convenience stores are closed, urban consumers still have consumption needs. Convenience store operations can increase income, but the increased labor cost of nighttime operation is not considerable or even a loss compared to the profits during this time period.

[0006] The simple self-service cash register only reduces the number of cashiers and checkout personnel during the business period. Consumers also need to manually scan the barcode of the product and scan the code to pay, which is inefficient and poor in experience. It still cannot improve the space utilization of the entire store. Cannot be used under supervision

[0007] The unmanned convenience store method currently has a relatively large investment in technology, and the current technology is not mature enough, there are many operational loopholes, and there are also hidden dangers in food safety

[0008] However, traditional vending machines are bulky, have low space utilization, and few products that can be sold, so they are not suitable for placing in the store; generally speaking, they are not connected to the in-store system, and operators cannot manage them in a unified manner, nor can consumers.
