Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics transfer equipment, and more specifically, to a courier trolley switching device. Background Art

[0002] The urban underground logistics system is a newly emerging innovative urban route logistics system represented by the JD capsule logistics system, which is interconnected with hubs such as warehousing logistics centers and future community distribution centers. It is a new concept of transportation and supply system that uses carrying tools such as automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) and dual-purpose trucks (DMTs) to transport solid goods through large-diameter underground pipelines, tunnels and other transportation channels.

[0003] The use of personnel is greatly reduced in the entire capsule logistics system. There is no picker, sorter, or packer. The most important thing is that it is not affected by emergencies such as weather and traffic. The operation process of JD's underground logistics system is to first package the items and then put them into "capsules" for transportation. The capsules shuttle through the pipeline and are delivered to the designated location. The unmanned logistics system no longer needs to pay a large amount of labor costs, so the operating cost is very cheap, and the smart machines can work 24 hours a day without rest. Express delivery is exchanged at the sorting center, and then transported to various express delivery points. Finally, the AI ​​smart robot completes the delivery. This "capsule" logistics system converts electrical energy into magnetic power, which is all automated. It can be said to be both environmentally friendly and fast. However, its core power is limited to delivery to the community sorting center or distribution center, and it cannot deliver objects to the home.

[0004] The wormhole smart terminal logistics system is an underground transmission and transportation logistics distribution system adapted for future smart residential communities, CBD office buildings and other buildings. Combined with remote shopping and the wormhole air suspension system, it can achieve a more convenient shopping and timely delivery experience.

[0005] The wormhole system also includes a variety of systems such as garbage return system, logistics distribution system, transportation robot system, and the most efficient transmission and distribution wormhole intelligent terminal logistics system and its distribution system.

[0006] There is still a lack of effective perception, identification and interconnection between the wormhole logistics terminal logistics system and the JD transportation system in terms of communication control; a fast connection hardware and communication software control guarantee system that can effectively connect the two for effective operation, and the goods cannot be unloaded in the JD transportation system and fall into the wormhole system to form a cycle.
