The corresponding goods are loaded into the replenishment frame and then put into the delivery cart. The delivery cart moves to the front of the corresponding upper container and sends the replenishment frame to the lifting assembly. According to the commodity identification unit monitoring the goods on the upper container, the lifting assembly raises the replenishment frame to the corresponding height of the corresponding temporary storage cavity. The first electric telescopic rod in the temporary storage cavity extends out and is inserted into the connecting seat, and then adsorbed by the first electromagnet. The first electric telescopic rod contracts to pull the replenishment frame into the storage cabinet, and the commodity identification unit can also detect the replenishment frame in the temporary storage cavity. When the corresponding replenishment frame is empty, it is sent back to the lifting assembly, and then sent to the delivery cart through the lifting assembly for recycling.

[0016] The commodity identification unit includes a shelf camera, a warehouse camera and a replenishment camera. The shelf camera is installed on the top of the sales cavity, and is used to monitor the type, brand, specification, and quantity information of the commodities on the shelf body in real time.

[0019] With the above structure, when loading goods, the delivery trolley pushes the replenishment frame onto the lifting plate, and then continues to push the replenishment frame. After the L-shaped handle of the replenishment frame contacts the inclined surface of the positioning hook, the positioning hook moves downward, and then the L-shaped handle contacts the extrusion plate and pushes the extrusion plate to move backward until the positioning hook moves downward under the elasticity of the first spring. The delivery trolley stops pushing, and then under the action of the second spring, the extrusion plate squeezes the L-shaped handle into the positioning hook, and the replenishment frame is positioned by using the extrusion plate and the positioning hook to prevent the replenishment frame from deviating from the position, making it difficult for the first electric telescopic rod to be inserted into the connecting groove, and an expansion groove is provided at the port of the connecting groove to further ensure that the first electric telescopic rod enters the connecting groove, and then the first electric telescopic rod drives the replenishment frame to move. Due to the L-shaped structure of the L-shaped handle, the left and right movement of the replenishment frame will not be restricted, and the operation is convenient. The width of the upper container is greater than the width of the replenishment frame. When it is necessary to take out the empty replenishment frame, the first electric telescopic rod drives the replenishment frame to move into the upper container, while ensuring that the L-shaped handle does not enter the positioning hook.

[0020] The pushing assembly includes a third motor disposed in the replenishing frame, a fourth screw is fixed to the output shaft end of the third motor, a connecting block is threadedly connected to the fourth screw, a pushing plate is connected to the connecting block, and a discharge port is provided at one end of the replenishing frame away from the first electric telescopic rod, and a closing assembly is provided on the discharge port.

When replenishment is needed, the first winding component will wrap and take away the bamboo raft, while the second winding component will pay off the wire, thereby opening the discharge port. The fourth screw is driven to rotate by the third motor, so that the push plate can push the goods out. The structure is simple, convenient, compact, and does not take up space.

[0024] The lower side of the replenishment frame is rotatably connected with a plurality of balls. With the above structure, when the replenishment frame enters the delivery trolley, the lifting plate and moves in the temporary storage cavity, friction can be reduced and the convenience of movement can be improved.

[0025] A fourth motor is fixed inside the conveying cavity, a fifth screw is fixed to the output shaft end of the fourth motor, a moving plate is threadedly connected to the fifth screw, a second electric telescopic rod is fixed to the moving plate, and a second electromagnet is fixed to the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod.

[0026] When the delivery cart transports the replenishment frame, the second electromagnet can be used to adsorb and fix the replenishment frame to ensure the stability of the replenishment frame. When the replenishment frame needs to be delivered to the upper container, the fourth motor and the fifth screw rod cooperate to achieve a first-stage push of the replenishment frame, and then the second electric telescopic rod is used to achieve a second-stage push, with a high degree of automation.

[0027] A commodity cavity is fixedly opened at the upper end of the delivery cart, an electric door is arranged at the upper end of the commodity cavity, a code scanning area is arranged on the upper side of the electric door, a monitoring camera and an ultraviolet lamp are fixed on the lower side of the electric door, a convenience bag storage cavity is opened on the delivery cart, a closed door is arranged on the convenience bag storage cavity, and a bag taking opening is opened on the closed door.

After the goods are taken out by cooperating with the sixth motor, the fifth electric telescopic rod, the fourth electric telescopic rod and the electric clamp, the goods are delivered to the delivery cart. The degree of automation is high, and the goods placed randomly on the shelf can be sorted according to the placement of goods on the shelf body monitored by the product sorting unit.

[0031] Compared with the existing technology, this large supermarket shelf item intelligent identification and replenishment management system has the following advantages:

[0032] 1. When in use, the commodity identification unit monitors the commodities on the shelf in real time, understands the placement and remaining situation of the commodities on the shelf in real time, and promptly uses the cooperation of the conveyor belt and the first electric telescopic rod to move the corresponding commodities to the rear of the corresponding sales cavity, and then uses the pushing component to push the commodities out to replenish the sales cavity. The commodity identification unit monitors the remaining inventory in the upper cabinet in real time, and analyzes the sales data of the commodities to help merchants understand the sales trends of the commodities, customer purchase preferences and other information, optimizes the replenishment plan based on the analysis results, provides merchants with timely replenishment suggestions, and then replenishes the corresponding commodities based on the replenishment suggestions. The goods are loaded into the replenishment frame and then put into the delivery cart.

According to the commodity identification unit monitoring the goods on the upper container, the lifting assembly raises the replenishment frame to the corresponding height of the corresponding temporary storage cavity. The first electric telescopic rod in the temporary storage cavity is extended and inserted into the connecting seat, and then adsorbed by the first electromagnet. The first electric telescopic rod contracts to pull the replenishment frame into the storage cabinet, and the commodity identification unit can also detect the replenishment frame in the temporary storage cavity. When the corresponding replenishment frame is empty, it is sent back to the lifting assembly, and then sent to the delivery cart through the lifting assembly for recycling.

[0033] 2. When loading goods, the delivery trolley pushes the replenishment frame onto the lifting plate, and then continues to push the replenishment frame. After the L-shaped handle of the replenishment frame contacts the inclined surface of the positioning hook, the positioning hook moves downward, and then the L-shaped handle contacts the extrusion plate and pushes the extrusion plate to move backward until the positioning hook moves downward under the elasticity of the first spring. The delivery trolley stops pushing, and then under the action of the second spring, the extrusion plate squeezes the L-shaped handle into the positioning hook, and the replenishment frame is positioned using the extrusion plate and the positioning hook to prevent the replenishment frame from deviating from the position, making it difficult for the first electric telescopic rod to be inserted into the connecting groove, and an expansion groove is provided at the port of the connecting groove to further ensure that the first electric telescopic rod enters the connecting groove, and then the first electric telescopic rod drives the replenishment frame to move. Due to the L-shaped structure of the L-shaped handle, the left and right movement of the replenishment frame will not be restricted, and the operation is convenient. The width of the upper container is greater than the width of the replenishment frame. When the empty replenishment frame needs to be taken out, the first electric telescopic rod drives the replenishment frame to move into the upper container, while ensuring that the L-shaped handle does not enter the positioning hook.

[0034] 3. When in inventory status, the bamboo raft will close the discharge port of the replenishment frame to prevent the goods from moving out during transportation. When replenishment is needed, the first winding component will wrap and take away the bamboo raft, while the second winding component will pay off the wire, thereby opening the discharge port. The fourth screw is driven to rotate by the third motor, so that the push plate can push the goods out. The structure is simple and convenient, compact and will not take up space.

[0035] 4. When the delivery cart transports the replenishment frame, the second electromagnet can be used to adsorb and fix the replenishment frame to ensure the stability of the replenishment frame. When the replenishment frame needs to be delivered to the upper container, the fourth motor and the fifth screw are used to push the replenishment frame in one stage, and then the second electric telescopic rod is used to push the replenishment frame in the second stage, with a high degree of automation.

[0036] 5. After the user completes the purchase of the goods, the electric door closes and the delivery cart moves to the front of the user. The user scans the code to open the electric door and takes out the convenience bag through the bag opening to facilitate the removal of the goods. After the goods are taken out, the delivery cart returns to its original position and is disinfected with ultraviolet light for the next use. The surveillance camera can not only monitor whether the goods are completely taken out, but also monitor the cleanliness of the product cavity, so that the staff can clean it according to the situation.

[0037] 6. When the user is shopping, the second electric telescopic rod drives the lifting group to rise and fall according to the shopping information, and the fifth motor drives the transverse block to move laterally.
