Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field related to automatic vending, and in particular relates to an unmanned store. Background Art

[0002] Stores usually require personnel management when selling goods. When selling goods, customers usually need to enter the store, manually select the goods, pick up the goods, and then pay for them. However, vending machines are machines that can automatically pay for goods according to the coins inserted. They are common equipment in commercial automation. They are not restricted by time and place, can save manpower, and facilitate transactions.

[0003] It is understandable that in order to increase sales, stores usually need to extend business hours to meet customer needs at different times. During low-peak periods (such as late at night), the categories of goods purchased by customers are more concentrated, and the number of customers at night is relatively small. If the store sends staff to work the night shift to operate as usual, the corresponding personnel costs and energy consumption generated by opening the store are high, and it is impossible to maximize profits. If the store is closed, it will not be able to meet the purchasing needs of customers during the low-peak period, and accordingly, it will not be able to generate sales. Summary of the invention
