Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of transportation, and in particular to an intelligent transportation carriage capable of improving loading and unloading efficiency during transportation. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the logistics industry, the transportation of goods across provinces and cities has been greatly facilitated, and road transportation is the most popular. As cars are small in size, they generally do not need to be reloaded during the journey. In addition to running along the widely distributed road network, they can also leave the road network and go deep into factories, rural fields, urban residential areas, etc., that is, goods can be transported directly from the gate of the origin to the gate of the destination, realizing "door-to-door" direct transportation. This is one of the characteristics that other modes of transportation cannot compare with road transportation.

[0003] In practice, in order to allocate transportation capacity more reasonably, transportation companies will assemble the goods entrusted by different customers, so that goods that need to be sent to similar destinations or the same city only need to be transported by one vehicle, saving manpower and material resources. However, the problem that arises is how to identify the transport boxes of different customers when loading and unloading goods. The most common practice is to stick labels on the transport boxes. When the transport vehicle arrives at the designated location, the staff identifies the labels on the transport boxes to distinguish which transport boxes need to be unloaded and which transport boxes need to be transported to the next destination.

[0004] The defects of the above approach are mainly manifested as follows: 1) For reusable transport boxes, multiple labeling will cause damage to the transport boxes, affecting the appearance; 2) If the previous label is not completely removed, it is easy for the staff to misidentify the label and unload the wrong goods; 3) When loading and unloading goods in a dimly lit compartment, it is difficult to see the labels on the transport boxes, which increases the difficulty of the staff's work. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that multiple customer transport boxes assembled on a transport vehicle are difficult to identify and thus cause mis-transportation, the present invention provides an intelligent transport carriage.

[0006] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An intelligent transport carriage comprises a box body and a door. The bottom surface of the box body is paved with intelligent floor tiles, the intelligent floor tiles comprise a light source and a chip. A GPS positioning module is also arranged in the box body. The chip can receive position information sent by the GPS positioning module, and the chip can control the light source to emit light.

[0008] Preferably, the smart floor tile also includes a protective cover and a protective base.

[0009] Preferably, the smart floor tiles also include a pressure detection device, and an alarm device is also provided in the box. The pressure detection device can detect pressure changes on the smart floor tiles and send the detected pressure change information to the chip, and the chip can control the alarm device to sound an alarm.

[0010] Preferably, a walkway is left between two adjacent rows of smart floor tiles for staff to pass through.

[0011] Preferably, the protective cover is made of transparent material.

[0012] Preferably, the protective cover has a protruding structure.

[0013] Preferably, the area of ​​the smart floor tiles is the same as the area of ​​the transport boxes loaded in the transport carriage.

[0014] Preferably, the sides and top of the box are paved with smart floor tiles.

[0015] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when a transport vehicle needs to load goods from multiple customers, after the goods are shipped, preset position information is set for the smart floor tiles corresponding to the placement position of each customer's transport box in the carriage. The chip in the smart floor tiles can receive the position information sent by the GPS positioning module in real time. When the position information sent by the GPS positioning module received by the chip matches the preset position information, it means that the transport vehicle has entered the predetermined area (that is, the unloading location specified by the customer). At this time, the chip controls the light source to emit light. The staff only needs to unload the corresponding transport box according to the prompt of the glowing smart floor tiles. For the smart floor tiles that do not emit light, it means that they have not reached the preset position, and the corresponding goods do not need to be unloaded.

[0016] Moreover, as a preferred solution, a pressure detection device is provided in the smart floor tile. When the pressure detection device detects a pressure change on the smart floor tile, it indicates that the staff is carrying the goods on the smart floor tile. The pressure detection device sends the detected pressure change information to the chip. The chip compares the received signal. First, the location information sent by the GPS positioning module is compared with the pre-set location information. If they match, it means that the transport vehicle has arrived at the designated location. At this time, regardless of whether the information sent by the pressure detection device is detected, the alarm device will not be triggered; on the contrary, if the location information sent by the GPS positioning module does not match the pre-set location information, it means that the transport vehicle has not yet arrived at the designated location. At this time, if the chip detects the pressure change information sent by the pressure detection device, it means that the staff has carried the transport box incorrectly, and the chip triggers the alarm device to prompt the staff to perform an incorrect operation.

[0017] The smart floor tiles are provided with raised structures, the purpose of which is: first, to increase the friction between the transport box and the smart floor tiles; second, to properly space the gap between the transport box and the smart floor tiles to prevent the transport box from completely covering the smart floor tiles and preventing the staff from seeing the light emitted by the smart floor tiles.

[0018] Through the above working principle, the technical solution of the present invention improves the identification degree during the cargo loading and unloading process compared with the prior art. The staff only needs to determine which transport boxes need to be unloaded based on the color of the smart floor tiles, without carefully identifying the labels attached to the transport boxes. In addition, the light emitted by the smart floor tiles in the dim carriage is very eye-catching, which greatly facilitates the staff to load and unload the correct goods. In addition, if the staff carries the wrong goods, the alarm device will be triggered to prompt. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and technical effects to be solved by the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only embodiments of a part of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this practical information, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work also belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] like Figure 1The intelligent transport carriage shown comprises a box body 1 and a door 2. Intelligent floor tiles 3 are laid on the bottom surface of the box body 1, and a GPS positioning module 4 and an alarm device 6 are also arranged in the box body 1. A walkway 5 for staff to pass is arranged between two adjacent rows of intelligent floor tiles.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the smart floor tile 3 includes a protective cover 301, a light source 302, a pressure detection device 303, a chip 304 and a protective base 305, and a protruding structure 306 is provided on the protective cover 301. The protective cover 301 is made of a light-transmitting material, such as tempered glass, which protects the components in the smart floor tile 3 while allowing the light emitted by the light source 302 to pass through the protective cover 301.

[0028] When the chip 304 detects that the location information sent by the GPS positioning module 4 matches the preset location information, the light source 302 is controlled to emit light. When the chip 304 detects that the location information sent by the GPS positioning module 4 does not match the preset location information, it further detects whether the pressure change information sent by the pressure detection device 303 is received. If the pressure change information is received, the alarm device 6 is triggered to alarm.

[0029] The total area of ​​the one or more smart floor tiles 3 is the same as the area of ​​the transport box, so when laying the smart floor tiles 3, a corresponding number of smart floor tiles 3 are laid according to the area of ​​the box.

[0030] The raised structure 306 provided on the protective cover 301 can increase the friction between the transport box and the smart floor tile 3 , and at the same time appropriately increase the gap between the smart floor tile 3 and the transport box to prevent the transport box from completely blocking the light emitted by the smart floor tile 3 .

[0031] Smart floor tiles 3 can also be laid on the sides and top of the box body 1, so that when multiple layers of transport boxes need to be stacked in the carriage, the staff can identify whether a specific transport box needs to be unloaded by the color displayed by the smart floor tiles 3 set on the sides and top.

[0032] Embodiment 2:

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the method for using the intelligent transport carriage of the present invention is to set preset position information for the chip 304 in the intelligent floor tile 3 laid in the carriage 1.

[0034] When the carriage 1 moves, the chip 304 can receive in real time the position information sent by the GPS positioning module 4. The chip 304 compares the position information sent by the GPS positioning module 4 received in real time with the preset position information.

[0035] If the location information sent by the GPS positioning module 4 matches the preset location information, the chip 304 controls the light source 302 to emit light. On the contrary, if the information does not match, the chip 304 does not control the light source 302 to emit light.

[0036] The pressure detection device 303 can detect the pressure change on the smart floor tile 3 and send the pressure change information to the chip 304. If the position information sent by the GPS positioning module 4 does not match the preset position information, the chip 304 further detects the pressure change information sent by the pressure detection device 303. If the pressure change information is detected, the chip 304 triggers the alarm device 6 to alarm. If no pressure change information is detected, the chip 304 will not trigger the alarm device 6 to alarm.

[0037] If the location information sent by the GPS positioning module 4 matches the preset location information, the alarm device 6 will not be triggered to sound an alarm regardless of whether the chip 304 detects pressure change information.
