[0007] As a further preferred technical solution of the above technical solution, the container further includes a discount area, and the control module periodically (daily) screens all goods currently in the container and makes a judgment based on the shelf life of each goods, wherein: If the remaining shelf life of the goods reaches the first range (30%-20%) of the entire shelf life, the control module transmits the generated first transfer instruction to the action module, so that the action module transfers the goods to the first discount area, and the goods consumed in the first discount area are automatically discounted at the first discount price (e.g., 20% off) when paid; If the remaining shelf life of the goods reaches the second range (20%-10%) of the entire shelf life, the control module transmits the generated second transfer instruction to the action module, so that the action module transfers the goods to the second discount area, and the goods consumed in the second discount area are automatically discounted at the second discount price (e.g., 30% off) when paid; If the remaining shelf life of the goods reaches the third range of the entire shelf life (less than 10%), the control module will transmit the generated third transfer instruction to the action module, so that the action module transfers the goods to the third discount area, and the goods consumed in the third discount area will automatically be charged at the third discount price (for example, 40% off) when paid.

[0008] As a further preferred technical solution of the above technical solution, for goods that have not been consumed by the deadline, the control module transmits the generated fourth transfer instruction to the action module, so that the action module transfers the goods from the third discount area to the goods recovery area. At the same time, the control module records the recovery information of the goods (each goods is bound to a corresponding goods code) and stores the recovery information.

[0009] As a further preferred technical solution of the above technical solution, the control module periodically uploads the purchase information, shipment information and recycling information to the cloud server.

[0010] As a further preferred technical solution of the above technical solution, the cloud server is provided with a purchase management model, and the purchase information, shipment information and recycling information of each commodity are input into the purchase management model, so as to output the purchase quantity of the commodity that matches the current unmanned retail cabinet (for example, if the commodity sells quickly, more will be purchased from the supplier next time, and periodic adjustments will be made).

[0011] As a further preferred technical solution of the above technical solution, the display area and the discount area are both provided with food quality sensors (such as cameras, smells, etc.). If the food quality sensor determines that the goods in the current area are damaged, it directly feeds back to the control module, and the control module transmits the generated fifth transfer instruction to the action module, so that the action module transfers the goods from the corresponding area to the goods recovery area.
