With such a structural setting, the cargo aisle device in the vending cabinet can automatically adjust the storage height according to the height of the items to be stored, thereby ensuring that the space of each cargo aisle device 1 is fully utilized, avoiding space waste caused by fixed height, and improving space utilization. Dynamically adjusting the storage height of the cargo aisle device 1 not only reduces the search and adjustment time when storing and retrieving items, improves the storage and retrieval efficiency, but also realizes the automation of the system, reduces the storage and retrieval errors caused by insufficient or excessive space, and improves the accuracy of storage and retrieval. At the same time, by accurately adjusting the storage height of the cargo aisle device 1, it is possible to avoid collisions between items and other cargo aisle devices or equipment during the storage and retrieval process, ensuring safe operation. Reasonable height adjustment can also reduce the bumps and damage of items during the storage and retrieval process, protect the integrity of the items, and thus improve the safety of the system.
[0080] Furthermore, the vending cabinet further comprises: a mounting frame, the mounting frame is installed in the box body 100, and the cargo channel device 1 is movably arranged on the mounting frame along the vertical direction.
[0081] Optionally, the vending cabinet is an automatic vending cabinet, preferably a food vending cabinet.
[0082] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the vending cabinet also includes: a transport device 200, which can be movably arranged, and the transport device 200 is used to carry items to be stored or to be taken; wherein, the control system also includes a first detection device 5, which is arranged on the transport device 200; the first detection device 5 is used to detect the height of the items to be stored on the transport device 200. With such a structural arrangement, by setting the transport device 200, it is possible to automatically carry the items to be stored or to be taken, thereby reducing manual intervention. This automation significantly improves the efficiency of storing and retrieving items, especially during high-demand periods, and can quickly respond to customer needs and improve service speed. At the same time, automatic transportation effectively reduces the moving time of items from the storage place to the pickup port. By optimizing the transportation path and reducing manual handling, the overall operating efficiency has been significantly improved, and the labor cost has also been reduced. In addition, by setting the first detection device 5 on the transport device 200, manual intervention can be further reduced, storage efficiency can be improved, and the automation of the system can be fully realized.
[0083] Optionally, the transport device 200 can transport the items to be taken to the food outlet of the vending cabinet, and can also transport the items to be stored to the discharge end of the cargo channel device 1.
[0084] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the transport device 200 is provided with a second pushing structure 201 and a rolling structure 202, and the rolling structure 202 is used to support the items to be stored. When the transport device 200 moves to the discharge end of the cargo aisle device 1, and the items to be stored need to be transported to the discharge end of the cargo aisle device 1, the roller 203 of the rolling structure 202 rotates to make the items to be stored on the transport device 200 move toward the discharge end of the cargo aisle device 1. At the same time, the second pushing structure 201 cooperates to transport the items to be stored to the discharge end of the cargo aisle device 1.
[0085] Optionally, the direction of entry and exit of items in the transport device 200 is as follows: Figure 3 , the direction indicated by arrow C.
[0086] The present invention provides a control method, which is applied to the control system of the above embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the control method includes: S11, obtaining the height of the items to be stored.
[0087] S12, adaptively adjusting the storage height of the aisle device 1 according to the height of the items to be stored, so that the storage height of the aisle device 1 after adjustment is greater than the height of the items to be stored.
[0088] By adopting such a control method, the height of the items to be stored can be obtained, and the storage height of the aisle device 1 can be adaptively adjusted according to the height, thereby optimizing the space utilization of the aisle device 1, ensuring that the space of each aisle device is fully utilized, avoiding space waste caused by fixed height, and improving space utilization. By accurately obtaining the height of the items to be stored and flexibly adjusting the storage height of the aisle device 1, the storage space becomes more reasonable and efficient. Dynamically adjusting the storage height of the aisle device 1 not only reduces the search and adjustment time when the items are stored and accessed, improves the access efficiency, but also realizes the automation of the system, reduces the access errors caused by insufficient or excessive space, and improves the access accuracy. At the same time, accurate height adjustment can avoid collisions between items and other aisle devices or equipment during access, ensuring safe operation. Reasonable height adjustment can also reduce bumps and damages of items during access, protect the integrity of items, and thus improve the safety of the system. In addition, adjusting the storage height of the aisle device 1 according to the height adaptability of the items to be stored can ensure that the system is always in the best working state and improve the reliability of the system. Automatically adjusting the height of the aisle device also reduces manual intervention and reduces labor costs. At the same time, reasonable use of storage space can reduce unnecessary movement and adjustment, thereby reducing energy consumption. The control method of the present invention effectively solves the technical problem that the aisles in existing food vending cabinets are fixed in position and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the food.
[0089] Specifically, a method for adaptively adjusting the storage height of the aisle device 1 according to the height of the items to be stored so that the storage height of the adjusted aisle device 1 is greater than the height of the items to be stored includes: calculating a first preset height and a second preset height according to the height of the items to be stored; adjusting the storage height of the aisle device 1 according to the first preset height and the second preset height so that the storage height of the adjusted aisle device 1 is greater than or equal to the first preset height, and the storage height of the adjusted aisle device 1 is less than or equal to the second preset height; wherein the first preset height is greater than the height of the items to be stored, and the first preset height is less than the second preset height. By adopting such a control method, by calculating the first preset height and the second preset height, the storage height of the aisle device 1 can be accurately controlled to ensure that the items can be stored smoothly. And by calculating and adjusting the storage height, the storage space can be used more reasonably to avoid space waste caused by improper height.
[0090] Specifically, the method of calculating the first preset height and the second preset height according to the height of the items to be stored includes: the first preset height is equal to the sum of the height of the items to be stored and the first correction value; the second preset height is equal to the sum of the height of the items to be stored and the second correction value; wherein the first correction value is less than the second correction value. By adopting such a control method, by introducing the correction value, it is possible to more accurately adapt to the storage requirements of different items, ensure that the storage height of the cargo channel device is more reasonable, and avoid the risk of items contacting or hitting the wall. In addition, the setting of the first correction value and the second correction value enables the system to flexibly adapt to the space changes brought about by items of different sizes, thereby enhancing the applicability of the storage system. And by ensuring a reasonable gap between the first preset height and the second preset height, it is helpful to reduce unexpected situations when the items are taken out, and at the same time reduce the bumps and damage of the items during the access process. In addition, by reasonably setting the preset height, the storage space can be used more effectively to avoid the waste of storage resources caused by improper height. The adaptive height calculation method can quickly respond to the storage requirements of different types of items, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the system.
[0091] The first correction value and the second correction value are both used to adjust the height of the items to be stored, and the purpose of setting these two correction values is to provide an optimal height range for the items to be stored. This setting can ensure that the items will not be difficult to store or collide with other items due to insufficient placement height, while effectively utilizing the storage space.
[0092] Optionally, the first correction value is 20 mm and the second correction value is 50 mm.
[0093] Specifically, the control method also includes: in the process of adjusting the storage height of the aisle device 1, obtaining the current storage height of the aisle device 1; when the current storage height of the aisle device 1 is greater than or equal to the first preset height, and the storage height of the aisle device 1 is less than or equal to the second preset height, ending the adjustment; and placing the items to be stored on the aisle device 1. With such a control method, by obtaining the current storage height in real time, the system can flexibly respond to height changes and ensure the accuracy of height adjustment. Automatically determine whether the storage height is within the preset range, save time for manual intervention, and improve operational efficiency. It also helps to maximize the use of storage space and avoid space waste due to improper height.
[0094] Specifically, if there are N aisle devices 1, the plurality of aisle devices 1 are arranged on the to-be-installed device 300 at intervals in the vertical direction; the N aisle devices 1 are divided into target aisle devices and non-target aisle devices, N ≥ 2; a method for adaptively adjusting the storage height of the aisle device 1 according to the height of the items to be stored so that the storage height of the adjusted aisle device 1 is greater than the height of the items to be stored, comprising: calculating a first preset height and a second preset height according to the height of the items to be stored; and obtaining the height of the stored items on the non-target aisle device; and selecting the first preset height and the second preset height from the N aisle devices 1 according to the height of the stored items in the non-target aisle device. The cargo aisle device 1 at the bottom adjusts the height of each cargo aisle device 1 in turn along the vertical direction, so that the storage height of the adjusted non-target cargo aisle device is greater than or equal to the third preset height, and the storage height of the adjusted non-target cargo aisle device is less than or equal to the fourth preset height, while the storage height of the adjusted target cargo aisle device is greater than or equal to the first preset height, and the storage height of the adjusted target cargo aisle device is less than or equal to the second preset height; wherein the third preset height is equal to the sum of the height of the stored items and the first correction value; the fourth preset height is equal to the sum of the height of the stored items and the second correction value; the first correction value is less than the second correction value. With such a control method, the height of the stored items or the items to be stored in each layer of the cargo aisle device 1 is adjusted, which can effectively utilize the vertical space and ensure that the items of different heights are reasonably stored. A reasonable height range is set between the target cargo aisle device and the non-target cargo aisle device to avoid collision and falling risks between items, thereby improving the safety of operation. At the same time, the system can dynamically adjust the height of each cargo aisle device according to the actual height of different items, has higher adaptability, and can handle storage requirements of various categories and specifications. By adjusting the storage height in real time, the intelligent management level of the cargo aisle device is improved. Additionally, this automatic height adjustment mechanism reduces the need for manual intervention, making the storage process more efficient and shortening the time it takes to store and retrieve items.
[0095] Specifically, the control method also includes: obtaining the storage status of the items on the cargo aisle device 1; judging whether the items on the cargo aisle device 1 are abnormal according to the current storage status of the items on the cargo aisle device 1; if the items on the cargo aisle device 1 are abnormal, sending the current storage status of the items on the cargo aisle device 1 to the terminal. With such a control method, the storage status of the items stored on the cargo aisle device 1 can be monitored in real time to ensure the accuracy of the detection results. This helps the staff to quickly discover and handle abnormal situations and ensure the safety of the items.
[0096] Optionally, when the storage and retrieval device is a vending cabinet, and there are multiple aisle devices 1, the specific steps for replenishing the vending cabinet are: Step 1, when an aisle device 1 on a certain layer of a vending cabinet needs to be replenished with items, a command is sent to the control device. After receiving the command, the control device sets the aisle device 1 that needs to be replenished as the target aisle device 1. Next, the transport device 200 moves to the designated position. When the transport device 200 moves to the designated position, the items to be stored are placed on the transport device 200. After the items to be stored are placed on the transport device 200, the first detection device 5 detects the height of the items to be stored, and then sends the detected height of the items to be stored to the control device. At the same time, the first detection member 61 and the second detection member 62 on each non-target aisle device in the multiple aisle devices 1 respectively detect the height of the items on the corresponding non-target aisle device, and send the detected results to the control device.
[0097] Step 2, after the items to be stored are placed on the transport device 200, the transport device 200 moves toward the discharge end of one of the multiple aisles 11 of the target aisle device. During the movement of the transport device 200, the control device calculates the first preset height and the second preset height after obtaining the height of the items to be stored detected by the first detection device 5. At the same time, the control device obtains the results detected by the first detection member 61 and the second detection member 62 on each non-target aisle device, selects the highest height value of the items detected on each non-target aisle device, and calculates the third preset height and the fourth preset height corresponding to each non-target aisle device.
[0098] Step 3, after the calculation is completed, the control device starts from the aisle device 1 located at the bottom among the multiple aisle devices 1, and sequentially controls the driving structures 21 on both sides of each aisle device 1 to move in the vertical direction. Thereby, the corresponding aisle device 1 is driven to move up and down relative to the mounting frame (i.e., the device to be mounted 300), so that the storage height of each non-target aisle device after adjustment is greater than or equal to the third preset height, and the storage height of each non-target aisle device after adjustment is less than or equal to the fourth preset height, and at the same time, the storage height of the target aisle device after adjustment is greater than or equal to the first preset height, and the storage height of the target aisle device after adjustment is less than or equal to the second preset height.
[0099] In the process of adjusting the storage height of each aisle device 1, the first detection member 61 and the second detection member 62 on each aisle device 1 detect the storage height of the corresponding aisle device 1 in real time. When the storage height of the corresponding aisle device 1 detected by the first detection member 61 and the second detection member 62 is between the first preset height and the second preset height, or between the third preset height and the fourth preset height, and the detection result of the first detection member 61 is equal to the detection result of the second detection member 62, the control device controls the two driving structures 21 corresponding to each aisle device 1 to stop moving.
[0100] Step 4, after the adjustment is completed and the transport device 200 moves to the discharge end of one of the multiple lanes 11 of the target lane device, the items to be stored are transported to the discharge end of one of the multiple lanes 11 of the target lane device through the second pushing structure 201 and the rolling structure 202 of the transport device 200, and then, the conveyor belt 131 on one of the multiple lanes 11 of the target lane device drives the items to be stored to move along the first preset direction toward the direction away from the discharge end of the lane 11.
[0101] In step 5, the third detection device 7 corresponding to each aisle device 1 detects the storage status of the items stored on each aisle device 1 in real time and sends the detected results to the control device. If the third detection device 7 detects that the items stored on the corresponding aisle device 1 are abnormal (such as damaged, stuck, etc.), the control device sends the result to the terminal and sends a reminder signal to remind employees to deal with these abnormal conditions.
