BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the key management method based on the key cabinet described in this application.

[0021] Figure 2 This is an example diagram of the key cabinet used in Example 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present application provides a key management method and device based on a key cabinet to solve the technical problems in the prior art that manual management of keys often results in multiple drivers queuing up to get keys, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may also lead to loss and management confusion.

[0023] The following is a further detailed description of a key management method and device based on a key cabinet of the present application in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings. Example

[0024] See also Figure 1 The present application provides a key management method based on a key cabinet, comprising the following steps: S100: In response to a scanning instruction from a user, an idle key cabinet is obtained and keys are stored.

[0025] In this embodiment, the key cabinet used is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0026] While executing step S100, it includes: The frame number of each transport vehicle is obtained, and the starting and ending points of each transport vehicle and the number of the goods transported are recorded, so that when the current transport vehicle has generated a shipping plan, the current transport vehicle is set to a shippable state.

[0027] In this embodiment, the short-distance driver transports the commodity vehicles from the production line to the shipping yard, and records the starting and ending points and commodity numbers of each transportation by scanning the VIN (vehicle number) of all transportation vehicles; the system determines whether the current transportation vehicle has generated a long-distance shipping plan (i.e., the shipping plan), and if so, sets the current transportation vehicle to a shippable state.

[0028] The step S100 includes: In response to the user's scanning instruction to the key cabinet, it is determined whether there is an idle key cabinet. If so, the current user is locked and the current user is synchronously displayed on the door display screen of the key cabinet; otherwise, a waiting prompt is displayed.

[0029] In response to the user's scanning instruction for the vehicle frame number on the key, the door number of the idle key cabinet is obtained, the door opening instruction is triggered, the key cabinet is controlled to open the door so that the user can put the key into the key cabinet, and the door number of the idle key cabinet is synchronized to the shipping plan.

[0030] In this embodiment, after arriving at the shipping yard, the short-distance driver (i.e., the user) scans the QR code on the key cabinet through the application applet, and the system determines whether there is anyone else using it or any cabinet door is not closed. If it is idle, the current user is locked, requests from others are rejected, and the current user is synchronously displayed on the display screen of the cabinet door; otherwise, a waiting prompt is displayed.

[0031] The short-distance driver then scans the VIN (vehicle number) on the key, and the system finds the available cabinet door number and sends a command to the underlying chip control server. The server triggers the door opening command to the corresponding cabinet lock, and the key cabinet opens.

[0032] Short-distance drivers put the keys into the key cabinet and close the door. The system will simultaneously record the key cabinet door number into the shipping plan.

[0033] Repeat the above scanning process for the frame number. When all keys are placed in the idle key cabinet, the lock is released in response to the user's exit command; or if the exit command is not obtained after a preset time, the lock is automatically released.

[0034] After step S100, the method further includes: setting the transport vehicle corresponding to the key put into the key cabinet to a shippable state for scheduling.

[0035] In this embodiment, each key corresponds to a transport vehicle order, and the system automatically sets the transport vehicle order that has been placed in the key cabinet to a shippable state.

[0036] It should be noted that if a shipping plan has not been generated in the system at this moment, when subsequent planners generate a shipping plan for this vehicle, the system will also check whether there is a record with the corresponding number of the key cabinet.

[0037] S200: Obtain the shipping plan and the key placement status, and schedule the transport vehicle corresponding to the key for which the shipping plan has been generated and has been placed in the key cabinet, so as to send the shipping plan to the shipping personnel.

[0038] The step S200 includes: combining and loading the commodities on all transport vehicles that can be shipped, generating a shipping plan, and dispatching it to the shipping personnel.

[0039] S300: In response to the arrival instruction of the shipping personnel, the key cabinet corresponding to the transport vehicle in the received shipping plan is opened to obtain the key.

[0040] The step S300 includes: in response to the arrival instruction of the shipping personnel, locking the key cabinet corresponding to the transport vehicle received by the shipping personnel, and prompting the shipping personnel with the corresponding cabinet door number, and triggering the key cabinet corresponding to the cabinet door number to open so that the shipping personnel can take the key.

[0041] In this embodiment, the long-distance driver (i.e., the shipping personnel) receives the train order and rushes to the shipping yard. The long-distance driver clicks on the task corresponding to the mobile app that he has arrived at the pickup point. The system automatically locks the key cabinet for the current driver and prompts the driver with the corresponding cabinet door number. The driver only needs to use the applet to scan the random QR code on any key cabinet. The system sends the cabinet door number corresponding to the order key that the driver needs to deliver to the chip control server, which triggers the corresponding key cabinet to open.

[0042] The driver takes the key and closes the cabinet door. The key is issued successfully.

[0043] If the driver needs to go to multiple shipping locations to pick up the vehicle on the same trip, the key collection process at the pickup point will be repeated at each shipping location until all the keys are collected.

[0044] It should be noted that only the same person is allowed to operate the key cabinet group at the same shipping site to avoid taking the wrong key.

[0045] It also includes: in response to the user's cabinet closing operation, recording the cabinet door number corresponding to the closed cabinet door, judging whether it is consistent with the cabinet door number of the idle key cabinet that triggers the door opening, and if not, clearing the current key cabinet record and re-placing the key.

[0046] In this embodiment, the system provides the functions of full and single unpacking and clearing records. That is, when it is used for the first time or there is a discrepancy between the actual placement of the key on the cabinet door and the system record, all records of the current cabinet can be cleared, the box can be unpacked, and the key can be replaced (for emergency use, such as long-term power and network outages, and the record of using an ordinary key to open the door and take out the key will be inconsistent with the system).

[0047] The method also includes: detecting the fault condition of the key cabinet in real time, and if a fault occurs, disabling the faulty key cabinet.

[0048] In this embodiment, each key cabinet also provides an automatic lock failure situation option. When the cabinet door or lock is damaged, the current key cabinet can be disabled and isolated.

[0049] It also includes: the key cabinet uses UPS power protection to provide power supply for temporary power outages; and the key cabinet uses WIFI connection and Internet of Things connection technology.

[0050] In this embodiment, WIFI connection and Internet of Things connection technology are used to ensure smooth network redundancy. Example

[0051] The present application also provides a device, which includes a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores at least one instruction, at least one program, a code set or an instruction set, and the at least one instruction, the at least one program, the code set or the instruction set is loaded and executed by the processor to implement the key cabinet-based key management method described in Example 1.

[0052] In summary, the present application provides a key management method and device based on a key cabinet; first, in response to the scanning instruction of the user, an idle key cabinet is obtained and the key is stored; then the shipping plan and the key placement status are obtained, and the transport vehicle corresponding to the key that has generated the shipping plan and has been placed in the key cabinet is scheduled to send the shipping plan to the shipping personnel; further, in response to the arrival instruction of the shipping personnel, the key cabinet corresponding to the transport vehicle in the received shipping plan is opened to obtain the key. The present application effectively connects the front-end and back-end transportation through key identification, issuance and management, real-time information interaction, and convenient processes, which reduces the time for drivers to retrieve and store keys, and is simple to manage.
