Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of distribution of warehouse goods, and in particular to a warehouse distribution equipment and a warehouse distribution system. Background Art

[0002] In the supermarket retail industry, selling goods online is becoming more and more popular. Goods sold online are usually stored in the warehouse area in advance, so that it is convenient for the goods transport object to pick up the goods from the warehouse area according to the received orders. For example, if the order received by the rider contains 2 barrels of cooking oil, then the rider can take 2 barrels of cooking oil from the warehouse area.

[0003] However, since the number of goods that the cargo transport object needs to transport every day is large, when picking up goods from the warehouse area according to the received orders, they often take too much or too little due to carelessness. In this case, supermarket retailers need to arrange distribution personnel to distribute goods to the cargo transport object, which increases the distribution cost. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a warehouse distribution equipment to solve the above problem. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiment of the present application provides a warehousing and cargo distribution equipment and a warehousing and cargo distribution system, which can prevent the situation where the cargo transport object takes too much or too little cargo. The technical solution is as follows:

[0005] On the one hand, a storage and cargo distribution device is provided, the storage and cargo distribution device comprising: a storage cabinet, a cargo partition mechanism and a cargo distribution controller;

[0006] The goods partitioning mechanism is installed in the storage cabinet, and the goods partitioning mechanism is electrically connected to the goods distribution controller, and the storage cabinet is used to store goods;

[0007] The cargo partitioning mechanism includes a power mechanism and a partitioning assembly, wherein the power mechanism is installed on the top surface of the locker, the power mechanism is mechanically connected to the partitioning assembly, and the power mechanism is also electrically connected to the cargo distribution controller, the cargo distribution controller is used to control the power mechanism, and the power mechanism is used to control the position of the partitioning assembly in the depth direction of the locker to partition the number of cargo that can be taken out of the locker.

[0008] On the other hand, a warehousing and distribution system is provided, which includes one or more warehousing and distribution equipment and an order distribution equipment, wherein the order distribution equipment is used to distribute received orders to the one or more warehousing and distribution equipment, and the warehousing and distribution equipment is any one of the warehousing and distribution equipment provided above.

[0009] The beneficial effects brought by the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application may at least include:

[0010] Since the cargo distribution controller is used to control the power mechanism, and since the power mechanism is used to control the position of the barrier assembly in the depth direction of the locker, the number of goods that can be taken out of the locker can be controlled. In this way, on the one hand, it can avoid the situation where the cargo transport object takes too much or too little when taking goods from the storage area, and on the other hand, it can also avoid the supermarket retailers arranging distribution personnel to distribute goods to the cargo transport object, saving the distribution cost.

[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a storage and distribution equipment provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The storage and distribution equipment may include: a locker 01, a goods partitioning mechanism 02, and a distribution controller 03 (not shown in the figure). The goods partitioning mechanism 02 is installed in the locker 01, and the goods partitioning mechanism 02 is electrically connected to the distribution controller 03. The locker 01 is used to store goods. The goods partitioning mechanism 02 includes a power mechanism 021 and a partitioning assembly 022. The power mechanism 021 is installed on the top surface of the locker 01. The power mechanism 021 is mechanically connected to the partitioning assembly 022. The power mechanism 021 is also electrically connected to the distribution controller 03. The distribution controller 03 is used to control the power mechanism 021. The power mechanism 021 is used to control the position of the partitioning assembly 022 in the depth direction of the locker 01 to partition the number of goods that can be taken out of the locker 01.

[0029] Since the goods distribution controller 03 is used to control the power mechanism 021, and since the power mechanism 021 is used to control the position of the barrier assembly 022 in the depth direction of the locker 01, so as to barrier out the number of goods that can be taken out of the locker 01, the number of goods that can be taken out of the locker 01 is controllable. In this way, on the one hand, it can avoid the situation that the goods transport object takes more or less goods when taking goods from the storage area, and on the other hand, it can also avoid the supermarket retailers arranging distribution personnel to distribute goods for the goods transport object, saving the distribution cost.

[0030] Specifically, after receiving the order information, the distribution controller 03 can send a first signal to the power mechanism 021 based on the order information. After receiving the first signal, the power mechanism 021 controls the number of goods that can be taken out of the locker 01 by controlling the barrier component 022, so that the number of goods that can be taken out is consistent with the order information.

[0031] For example, assuming that an order contains 2 barrels of edible oil, the distribution controller 03 controls the power mechanism 021 based on the order information, so that the barrier component 022 controls the number of edible oil that can be taken out of the locker 01 storing the edible oil to be 2, so that the cargo transport object can directly take away the 2 barrels of edible oil that can be taken out. Obviously, the 2 barrels of edible oil are consistent with the order information.

[0032] It should be noted that the number of the above lockers 01 can be one or more, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the number of lockers 01. When the number of lockers 01 is more than one, any of the multiple lockers 01 can store the same goods or different goods. For example, for locker A among the multiple lockers 01, locker A can store all cooking oil. Of course, locker A can also store cooking oil, rice, etc. at the same time, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0033] It is worth noting that in some scenarios, the goods in the order information may be allocated to different lockers 01 due to the different types of goods placed in the locker 01, or the goods in the order information may be allocated to different lockers 01 due to insufficient goods in the same locker 01. In other words, the goods in an order information may be placed in the same locker 01 or in different lockers 01. For example, assuming that an order information contains 1 barrel of cooking oil and 1 bag of rice, and the cooking oil and rice are placed in different lockers 01, then the goods in this order information will be allocated to two lockers 01. Assuming that an order information contains 5 barrels of cooking oil, and the amount of cooking oil in a locker 01 is less than 5, then the goods in this order information will also be allocated to two or more lockers 01.

[0034] It should also be noted that the power mechanism 021 can be installed on the top surface of the corresponding locker 01 by screws, or by other means, and the present application embodiment does not make specific restrictions on this. In addition, when the power mechanism 021 is a rotary motor, the power mechanism can be mechanically connected to the barrier assembly 022 through a synchronous belt mechanism, and when the power mechanism 021 is a linear motor, it can be directly mechanically connected to the barrier assembly 022 by screws. In other words, different power mechanisms 021 have different ways of mechanically connecting to the barrier assembly 022, and the present application embodiment does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The barrier assembly 022 may include a slide bar 0221 and a rolling baffle 0222. The slide bar 0221 is installed on the top surface of the locker 01 along the depth direction of the locker 01, the rolling baffle 0222 is installed on the slide bar 0221, the power mechanism 021 is mechanically connected to the rolling baffle 0222, and the power mechanism 021 is used to control the rolling baffle 0222 to slide along the slide bar 0221, and is also used to control the rolling baffle 0222 to roll up or unfold.

[0036] Since the rolling shutter baffle 0222 is installed on the slide bar 0221, the power mechanism 021 is mechanically connected to the rolling shutter baffle 0222, and the power mechanism 021 is used to control the rolling shutter baffle 0222 to slide along the slide bar 0221, and is also used to control the rolling shutter baffle 0222 to roll up or unfold. Since the power mechanism 021 is electrically connected to the distribution controller 03, the distribution controller 03 can control the power mechanism 021 based on the order information, and then control the rolling shutter baffle 0222 to slide along the slide bar 0221 and roll up or unfold, so that the number of goods that can be taken out of the corresponding locker 01 can be controlled. In this way, the distribution controller 03 can control the rolling shutter baffle 0222 to block out the number of goods that match the order information according to the number of goods in the order, that is, the function of controlling the number of goods that can be taken out can be realized.

[0037] Specifically, after receiving the order information, the distribution controller 03 sends a second signal to the power mechanism 021 based on the order information. After receiving the second signal, the power mechanism 021 can control the rolling baffle 0222 to slide along the slide bar 0221. When the rolling baffle 0222 reaches a position that can separate the goods in the order information from other goods in the second locker 01, the rolling baffle 0222 stops sliding on the slide bar 0221. At this time, the distribution controller 03 controls the power mechanism 021 to unfold the rolling baffle 0222. At this point, the function of controlling the rolling baffle 0222 to block out the quantity of goods that matches the order information is realized.

[0038] It is worth noting that when the goods in the order information are separated from other goods in the locker 01 by the rolling shutter 0222, it should be ensured that the goods in the order information are located on the side that can be taken by the goods transport object. Assuming that the first side of the locker 01 is provided with a pick-up port, the side that can be taken by the goods transport object is the first side of the locker 01.

[0039] For example, assuming that there are 5 barrels of cooking oil in the locker 01, and the order information contains 2 barrels of cooking oil, after receiving the order information, the distribution controller 03 can control the rolling baffle 0222 to slide along the sliding rod 0221. When the rolling baffle 0222 reaches the position that can separate the 2 barrels of cooking oil from the other 3 barrels of cooking oil and the 2 barrels of cooking oil are located on the side where the cargo transportation object can be taken, the distribution controller 03 controls the rolling baffle 0222 to unfold, so that the rolling baffle 0222 separates the above-mentioned 2 barrels of cooking oil from the other 3 barrels of cooking oil. In other words, the function of controlling the number of goods that can be taken out of the locker 01 is realized.

[0040] It should be noted that the slide bar 0221 can be installed on the top surface of the locker 01 by screws, or by other means, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this. The rolling shutter 0222 can be installed on the slide bar 0221 by a slider, or by other means, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this. In addition, when the power mechanism 021 is a linear motor, the power mechanism 021 can be mechanically connected to the rolling shutter 0222 by screws, so that when the power shaft of the power mechanism 021 moves up and down, the rolling shutter 0222 will also move up and down with the up and down movement of the power shaft of the power mechanism 021, that is, the rolling up or unfolding function of the rolling shutter 0222 is realized. Of course, the power mechanism 021 can also be mechanically connected to the rolling shutter baffle 0222 in other ways, thereby completing the function of rolling up or unfolding the rolling shutter baffle 0222, such as by setting a mechanism similar to the rolling-up method of blinds to mechanically connect the rolling shutter baffle 0222. The embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitations on this.

[0041] In addition, it should be noted that the power mechanism 021 can be a linear motor. Of course, the power mechanism 021 can also be other mechanisms that can control the rolling shutter baffle 0222 to slide along the sliding rod 0221 and roll up or unfold, such as a stepper motor, servo motor, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0042] In other embodiments, see Figure 3, the barrier assembly 022 may include a plurality of rolling shutter baffles 0222, the power mechanism 021 may include a plurality of power assemblies 0211, and the plurality of rolling shutter baffles 0222 correspond to the plurality of power assemblies 0211 one by one. The plurality of rolling shutter baffles 0222 are installed on the top surface of the locker 01, and any one of the plurality of rolling shutter baffles 0222 is located between two adjacent goods stored in the locker 01 after being unfolded. The plurality of power assemblies 0211 are mechanically connected to the corresponding rolling shutter baffles 0222, and the plurality of power assemblies 0211 are electrically connected to the distribution controller 03, and the plurality of power assemblies 0211 are used to control the corresponding rolling shutter baffles 0222 to roll up or unfold, and at the same time, one of the plurality of rolling shutter baffles 0222 is unfolded, and the other rolling shutter baffles 0222 are rolled up.

[0043] Since any rolling shutter baffle 0222 among the multiple rolling shutter baffles 0222 is located between two adjacent goods stored in the locker 01 after being unfolded, the function of controlling the number of goods that can be taken out of the locker 01 can be achieved by controlling one rolling shutter baffle 0222 among the multiple rolling shutter baffles 0222 to unfold and the other rolling shutter baffles 0222 to roll up at the same time.

[0044] Specifically, after receiving the order information, the distribution controller 03 can control the unfolding of the rolling shutter 0222 that can separate the goods in the order information from other goods in the locker 01 based on the order information, and the other rolling shutters 0222 can be rolled up to achieve the function of controlling the number of goods that can be taken out of the corresponding locker 01.

[0045] For example, assume that 5 barrels of cooking oil are stored in the locker 01. In the first scenario, the 5 barrels of cooking oil can correspond to 5 rolling baffles 0222, and the 5 rolling baffles 0222 are located between two adjacent barrels of cooking oil among the 5 barrels of cooking oil after being unfolded. Assume that the 5 barrels of cooking oil are arranged in the order of A cooking oil, B cooking oil, C cooking oil, D cooking oil, and E cooking oil, and cooking oil A is close to the pickup port, the rolling baffle 0222 before cooking oil A is the first rolling baffle, the rolling baffle 0222 between cooking oil A and cooking oil B is the second rolling baffle, the rolling baffle 0222 between cooking oil B and cooking oil C is the third rolling baffle, and so on. Obviously, the rolling baffle 0222 between cooking oil D and cooking oil E is the fifth rolling baffle. At this time, assuming that the order information includes two barrels of edible oil, the distribution controller 03 can control the first rolling shutter to roll up, the second rolling shutter to roll up, the third rolling shutter to unfold, and the fourth rolling shutter and the fifth rolling shutter can be rolled up or unfolded. Then, edible oil A and edible oil B can be taken away directly by the cargo transport object, that is, the number of edible oils that can be taken away directly by the cargo transport object is 2. Obviously, the edible oil that can be taken away directly by the cargo transport object is consistent with the order information.

[0046] In the second scenario, 5 barrels of edible oil can correspond to 4 rolling shutters 0222. Assuming that the 5 barrels of edible oil are arranged in the order of A edible oil, B edible oil, C edible oil, D edible oil, and E edible oil, and A edible oil is close to the pickup port, there is no rolling shutter 0222 on the side of A edible oil close to the pickup port, and the rolling shutter 0222 between A edible oil and B edible oil is the first rolling shutter, and the rolling shutter 0222 between B edible oil and C edible oil is the second rolling shutter, and so on. Obviously, the rolling shutter 0222 between D edible oil and E edible oil is the fourth rolling shutter. At this time, assuming that the order information contains two barrels of edible oil, the distribution controller 03 can control the first rolling shutter to roll up, the second rolling shutter to unfold, and the third rolling shutter and the fourth rolling shutter can be rolled up or unfolded. Then, cooking oil A and cooking oil B will be able to be taken away directly by the cargo transport object, that is, the number of cooking oils that can be taken away directly by the cargo transport object is 2. Obviously, the cooking oil that can be taken away directly by the cargo transport object is consistent with the order information.

[0047] It should be noted that in the first scenario, the first rolling shutter serves to seal the five barrels of cooking oil in the locker 01. For ease of understanding, the first rolling shutter can be understood as the door of the locker 01. Obviously, no matter how many barrels of cooking oil are included in the order information, the first rolling shutter needs to be rolled up.

[0048] In some embodiments, the barrier assembly 022 may include a slide bar 0221 and a hard baffle. The slide bar 0221 is installed on the side of the corresponding locker 01 along the height direction of the corresponding locker 01, the hard baffle is installed on the slide bar 0221, the power mechanism 021 is mechanically connected to the hard baffle, and the power mechanism 021 is used to control the hard baffle to slide along the slide bar 0221. In this way, the function of controlling the goods that can be taken out can be realized by controlling the hard baffle to slide up and down along the slide bar 0221 in the height direction of the locker 01.

[0049] It should be noted that the slide bar 0221 can be installed on the side of the locker 01 by screws, or by other means, and the present embodiment does not make any specific restrictions on this. In addition, the power mechanism 021 can be mechanically connected to the hard baffle by a synchronous belt mechanism, or by other means, and the present embodiment does not make any specific restrictions on this.

[0050] It is worth noting that, for ease of understanding, the above-mentioned hard baffle can be understood as a rigid baffle. The hard baffle realizes the function of controlling the goods that can be taken out by separating the goods in the order information from other goods in the locker 01. Its specific implementation method is similar to the method of controlling the goods that can be taken out by using the roller shutter baffle 0222, and the embodiment itself will not be repeated.

[0051] It is also worth noting that when the partition assembly 022 includes a hard baffle, the hard baffle may interfere with the top surface of the locker 01 when sliding upward along the slide rod 0221 in the height direction of the locker 01. Based on this, a temporary storage space for the hard baffle can be reserved in the locker 01 to avoid interference between the hard baffle and the top surface of the locker 01.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The barrier assembly 022 may include a slide bar 0221, a mounting member 0223, a hook and pull member 0224, and a cargo cover 0225. The slide bar 0221 is mounted on the top surface of the locker 01 along the depth direction of the locker 01, the mounting member 0223 is mounted on the slide bar 0221, the hook and pull member 0224 is mechanically connected to the mounting member 0223, the mounting member 0223 is mechanically connected to the power mechanism 021, and the power mechanism 021 is used to control the mounting member 0223 to slide along the slide bar 0221, and is also used to control the hook and pull member 0224 to move up and down along the height direction of the locker 01 through the mounting member 0223, so as to cover the cargo cover 0225 on a cargo in the locker 01.

[0053] Among them, since the slide bar 0221 is installed on the top surface of the locker 01 along the depth direction of the locker 01, the mounting member 0223 is installed on the slide rail, and the mounting member 0223 is mechanically connected to the power mechanism 021, and the power mechanism 021 is used to control the mounting member 0223 to slide along the slide bar 0221, therefore, under the control of the power mechanism 021, the mounting member 0223 can slide back and forth along the slide bar 0221 in the depth direction of the locker 01. In addition, since the power mechanism 021 is also used to control the hook member 0224 to move up and down along the height direction of the locker 01 through the mounting member 0223, so as to cover the cargo cover 0225 on a cargo in the locker 01, therefore, the purpose of controlling the cargo that can be taken out can be achieved by covering the cargo cover 0225 on a cargo in the corresponding locker 01.

[0054] For example, it is assumed that there are 5 barrels of edible oil stored in the locker 01, and the 5 barrels of edible oil are arranged in the locker 01 in the order of A edible oil, B edible oil, C edible oil, D edible oil, and E edible oil, among which A edible oil is close to the pickup port. At this time, it is assumed that the order information contains two barrels of edible oil, then the power mechanism 021 can control the mounting member 0223 to slide along the slide bar 0221 until the cargo cover 0225 reaches directly above the C edible oil. At this time, the power mechanism 021 controls the mounting member 0223 to stop sliding, and at the same time controls the hook member 0224 to move up and down along the height direction of the locker 01 until the cargo cover 0225 covers the C edible oil. At this time, A edible oil and B edible oil will be separated by the cargo cover 0225 on the side close to the pickup port. Then, the cargo transport object can take away A edible oil and B edible oil. It is obvious that the A edible oil and B edible oil that can be taken away are consistent with the order information.

[0055] It should be noted that the slide bar 0221 can be installed on the top surface of the locker 01 by screws, or by other means, and the present application embodiment does not make any specific restrictions on this. In addition, the mounting member 0223 can be installed on the slide bar 0221 by a slide rail, and of course, it can also be installed on the slide bar 0221 by other means, as long as the mounting member 0223 can slide along the slide bar 0221, and the present application embodiment does not make any specific restrictions on this. In addition, the hook and pull member 0224 can be mechanically connected to the mounting member 0223 by a synchronous belt mechanism, or by other means, as long as the hook and pull member 0224 can move up and down along the height direction of the locker 01, and the present application embodiment does not make any specific restrictions on this.

[0056] In other embodiments, the barrier assembly 022 may include a plurality of mounting members 0223, a plurality of hooking members 0224, and a plurality of cargo covers 0225, and the power mechanism 021 may include a plurality of power assemblies 0211, and the plurality of mounting members 0223, the plurality of hooking members 0224, the plurality of cargo covers 0225, and the plurality of power assemblies 0211 correspond to each other. The plurality of mounting members 0223 are mounted on the top surface of the locker 01, the plurality of hooking members 0224 are mechanically connected to the corresponding mounting members 0223, the plurality of mounting members 0223 are mechanically connected to the corresponding power assemblies 0211, and the plurality of power assemblies 0211 are used to control the corresponding hooking members 0224 to move up and down along the height direction of the locker 01 through the corresponding mounting members 0223, so as to cover or lift the corresponding cargo covers 0225 on the goods in the locker 01.

[0057] Since multiple mounting parts 0223 are mounted on the top surface of the locker 01, multiple hooking parts 0224 are mechanically connected to the corresponding mounting parts 0223, and multiple power components 0211 are used to control the corresponding hooking parts 0224 to move up and down along the height direction of the locker 01 through the corresponding mounting parts 0223, the corresponding cargo cover 0225 can be controlled to cover or be removed from the goods by controlling the corresponding hooking parts 0224 to move up and down along the height direction of the locker 01. In other words, each of the goods can be covered with a cargo cover 0225, and after receiving the order information, the cargo cover 0225 on the corresponding goods can be controlled to be lifted based on the order information, so as to realize the function that the goods that can be taken away are controllable.

[0058] For example, suppose that there are 5 barrels of cooking oil stored in the locker 01, and the 5 barrels of cooking oil are arranged in the locker 01 in the order of A cooking oil, B cooking oil, C cooking oil, D cooking oil, and E cooking oil, among which A cooking oil is close to the pickup port. At this time, assuming that the order information includes two barrels of cooking oil, then the multiple power components 0211 can control the hook and pull parts 0224 above the A cooking oil and the B cooking oil through the corresponding mounting parts 0223 to move along the height direction of the corresponding locker 01 until the cargo cover 0225 covering the A cooking oil and the B cooking oil is lifted up. At this time, the cargo transport object can directly take away the A cooking oil and the B cooking oil. Obviously, the cooking oil that can be directly taken away by the cargo transport object is consistent with the order information.

[0059] It should be noted that the multiple mounting members 0223 can be mounted on the top surface of the locker 01 by screws, or by other means, and the present application embodiment does not make specific restrictions on this. In addition, the multiple hooking members 0224 can be mechanically connected to the corresponding mounting members 0223 by a synchronous belt mechanism, or by other means, as long as the multiple hooking members 0224 can move up and down along the height direction of the locker 01, and the present application embodiment does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0060] Further, see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the storage and distribution equipment may further include a conveying mechanism 04. The conveying mechanism 04 is installed on the bottom surface of the locker 01 along the depth direction of the locker 01, and the conveying mechanism 04 is used to convey the goods in the locker 01 to the pick-up port of the locker 01 along the depth direction of the locker 01.

[0061] In this way, after the cargo transport object has taken the cargo near the pickup port, one or more conveying mechanisms 04 can convey another cargo to the side near the pickup port. Therefore, it will become more convenient and faster for the cargo transport object to take the cargo.

[0062] For example, assuming that the order information contains two barrels of cooking oil, then the cargo transportation object can first take a barrel of cooking oil based on the order information. Assuming that the barrel of cooking oil is the first barrel of cooking oil, the second barrel of cooking oil is adjacent to the first barrel. At this time, after the first barrel of cooking oil is taken, the conveyor belt can transport the second barrel of cooking oil to the original position of the first barrel of cooking oil. In this way, the cargo transportation object can easily take the second barrel of cooking oil.

[0063] In some embodiments, the gap distance between the side of the conveying mechanism 04 and the locker 01 is less than a distance threshold, where the distance threshold refers to a distance that the goods stored in the locker 01 cannot pass through.

[0064] For example, the distance threshold may be a value within the range of 0.5-3 cm. In this way, the goods stored in the locker 01 can be prevented from falling into the gap between the side of the conveying mechanism 04 and the corresponding locker 01. It should be noted that, based on different application scenarios, the distance threshold may also be other values. If the goods stored in the locker 01 are larger goods, the distance threshold may also be a value within the range of 0.5-10 cm. If the goods stored in the locker 01 are smaller goods, the distance threshold may also be a value within the range of 0.1-0.5 cm. In other words, it is only necessary to ensure that the goods do not fall into the gap between the side of the conveying mechanism 04 and the corresponding locker 01. The embodiment of the present application does not impose mandatory provisions on the distance threshold.

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The conveying mechanism 04 may include a mounting frame 041, a conveyor belt 042, a driving wheel 043, a driven wheel 044, and a motor 045. The mounting frame 041 is fixed on the bottom surface of the locker 01, the driving wheel 043 and the driven wheel 044 are both mounted on the mounting frame 041, the motor shaft of the motor 045 is mechanically connected to the driving wheel 043, and the conveyor belt 042 is sleeved on the driving wheel 043 and the driven wheel 044.

[0066] It should be noted that the mounting frame 041 can be fixed on the bottom surface of the locker 01 by screws, or by other means, and the present embodiment of the application does not make specific restrictions on this. The motor shaft of the motor 045 can be mechanically connected to the driving wheel 043 by a coupling, and of course, it can also be mechanically connected to the driving wheel 043 by other means, and the present embodiment of the application does not make specific restrictions on this. It should also be noted that the motor 045 can be a stepping motor or a servo motor, and the present embodiment of the application does not make specific restrictions on the type of the motor 045.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The front of the locker 01 may be provided with a first door 011, on which an identity verification module 0111 is installed, which is electrically connected to the cargo distribution controller 03, and which is used to verify the identity of the cargo transport object, and control the first door 011 to open after the identity verification is passed. In this way, when the cargo transport object takes the cargo from the locker 01, the identity verification module 0111 will verify the identity of the cargo transport object, and the first door 011 can be opened only after the verification is passed, so that the cargo in the locker 01 is isolated from the outside world, and thus more secure.

[0068] It should be noted that the first cabinet door 011 can be installed on the front of the locker 01 by hinges, and can also be installed on the front of the locker 01 by other means. The embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0069] Further, in some embodiments, see Figure 8, the warehousing and distribution equipment may further include a replenishment reminder module 05, and the replenishment reminder module 05 is electrically connected to the distribution controller 03. In this way, when the goods in the locker 01 are less than the first threshold, the replenishment reminder module 05 can prompt replenishment. It should be noted that the replenishment reminder module 05 can prompt replenishment by flashing lights or by sound, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this. In some embodiments, the replenishment reminder module 05 may include a display screen, and the replenishment information may be displayed on the display screen. For example, the display screen may display "Locker A is out of stock, and 10 barrels of cooking oil need to be replenished", and the distribution personnel can add 10 barrels of cooking oil to Locker A after seeing the replenishment information.

[0070] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first threshold value can be 2 or other values, and the embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0071] In some embodiments, a second door may be installed on the back of the locker 01. In this way, the locker 01 can be replenished through the second door, avoiding the situation where replenishment and pickup share the same door. In one scenario, assuming that the cargo transport object is picking up goods through the first door 01, and the replenishment prompt module 05 prompts that the locker 01 is out of stock, then the distribution staff can replenish the goods through the second door in time, and the cargo transport object and the distribution staff do not interfere with each other, which is more humane. It should be noted that the second door can be installed on the back of the locker 01 through hinges, or it can be installed on the back of the locker 01 through other methods. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0072] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9 , the warehousing and distribution equipment may also include: a weighing device 06, and an alarm device 07. The weighing device 06 and the alarm device 07 are electrically connected to the distribution controller 03 respectively. The weighing device 06 is installed on the bottom surface of the locker 01. The weighing device 06 is used to determine the weight of the goods stored in the locker 01. The distribution controller 03 is used to determine that when the weight of the goods taken out of the locker 01 is different from the weight of the corresponding goods in the order information, an alarm signal is sent to the alarm device 07. In this way, when the weight of the goods taken out of the locker 01 is different from the weight of the corresponding goods in the order information, an alarm signal can be sent to the alarm device 07. After receiving the alarm signal, the alarm device 07 can prompt the goods transport capacity object to reconfirm whether the information of the taken out goods is consistent with the order information, thereby avoiding the situation where the goods transport capacity object takes more or less goods when taking goods from the locker 01.

[0073] It is worth noting that when the above-mentioned alarm 07 prompts the cargo transport capacity object, the prompting method is different depending on the alarm 07. For example, assuming that the alarm 07 is a buzzer, the cargo transport capacity object can be prompted by ringing a bell, and assuming that the alarm 07 is an alarm light, the cargo transport capacity object can be prompted by flashing a light. Of course, the alarm 07 can also be other alarm elements, such as a voice player that can play voice prompt information, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations on this. In summary, the alarm 07 can be a buzzer, an alarm light, a voice player, etc., as long as the weight of the taken out goods is different from the weight of the corresponding goods in the order information, the cargo transport capacity object can be prompted in time, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0074] It should be noted that the weighing device 06 can be installed on the bottom surface of the locker 01 by screws, or by other means, and the embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0075] In some embodiments, when there are multiple lockers 01, all lockers 01 may correspond to the same alarm 07. In other embodiments, different lockers 01 may correspond to different alarms 07, that is, each locker 01 corresponds to an alarm 07. At this time, the alarm 07 may be installed on the corresponding locker 01. In this way, after the alarm 07 sounds an alarm, it is possible to quickly determine which locker 01 has taken too much or too little goods directly according to the location of the alarm 07, which is more efficient. For example, assuming that the alarm 07 is a buzzer, in a scenario, assuming that the order information contains 2 barrels of edible oil and the 2 barrels of edible oil are placed in locker A, then, if the goods taken by the cargo transport object from locker A are not 2 barrels of edible oil, the buzzer corresponding to locker A will sound, and the cargo transport object will know that it has taken too much, too little or taken the wrong goods after hearing the sound.

[0076] It should be noted that the alarm 07 can be installed on the corresponding locker 01 by screws, or by other means, and the embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0077] In combination with the above description, the weighing device 06 or the goods barrier mechanism 02 can be used to avoid the situation of taking too much or too little goods. However, it is worth noting that in some embodiments, the weighing device 06 and the goods barrier mechanism 02 can also be used in combination to avoid the situation of taking too much or too little goods. In this way, in addition to judging whether the taken goods information is consistent with the order information based on the change in the weight of the goods on the weighing device 06, the distribution controller 03 can also control the goods barrier mechanism 02 to barrier the number of goods in the order information, which plays a double insurance role, thereby further avoiding the situation that the goods taken by the transport object do not match the order information.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, since the cargo distribution controller 03 is used to control the power mechanism 021, and since the power mechanism 021 is used to control the position of the barrier assembly 022 in the depth direction of the locker 01, so as to barrier out the number of goods that can be taken out of the locker 01, the number of goods that can be taken out of the locker 01 is controllable. In this way, on the one hand, it can avoid the situation that the cargo transport object takes more or less goods when taking goods from the storage area, and on the other hand, it can also avoid the supermarket retailer arranging the distribution personnel to distribute goods for the cargo transport object, saving the distribution cost.

[0079] The present application also provides a storage and distribution system. Fig.10 The warehousing and distribution system includes one or more warehousing and distribution equipment 1, and an order distribution equipment 2. The order distribution equipment 2 is used to distribute the received orders to one or more warehousing and distribution equipment 1. The warehousing and distribution equipment 1 is any one of the above-mentioned warehousing and distribution equipment 1.

[0080] In this way, when the order distribution device 2 receives the order, it can distribute the order to one or more storage and distribution devices 1 according to the order information. For example, assuming that an order contains 5 barrels of cooking oil, and there are only 2 barrels of cooking oil in the first storage and distribution device, then, in a possible implementation, the order distribution device 2 can distribute the 2 barrels of cooking oil in the order information to the first storage and distribution device, and distribute the remaining 3 barrels of cooking oil to the second storage and distribution device. In this way, the purpose of the cargo transportation object being able to take 5 barrels of cooking oil can be achieved, so that the quantity of cooking oil that the cargo transportation object can take is consistent with the order information.

[0081] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
