Detailed implementation manners
[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 - 10 shown below. The specific embodiments provided by the present invention are as follows: The terminal cabinet is a cabinet used for commodity sales display or workpiece and material storage management in industrial environments. It can be self-service or a material terminal cabinet for factories, and is widely used in industries such as retail, warehousing, and manufacturing. The self-service terminal cabinet is mainly used for cabinets with unattended commodity sales. The material terminal cabinet is mostly used in factory workshops for the storage, management, and distribution of workpieces and materials.
[0024] Due to the large variety and quantity of goods stored in the terminal cabinet, when traditional terminal cabinets are replenished, personnel operation or transport vehicles are required for replenishment. However, manual replenishment is inefficient, time-consuming, and laborious. Vehicle distribution is affected by factors such as traffic and weather. In areas with road congestion or inconvenient transportation, it is difficult for distribution logistics vehicles to deliver or the delivery takes a long time. Moreover, distribution requires advance planning of time and cannot achieve immediate replenishment. Delayed or inefficient replenishment will result in a poor customer experience. Traditional cabinets perform poorly in emergency situations, remote areas, and certain special scenarios and cannot provide consumers with an efficient and convenient shopping experience.
[0025] The number of the set shelves 1 can be set in multiple groups for placing various types and quantities of goods. Adjacent shelves 1 can form a sales unit through the picking structure 2; The goods temporary storage area 101 includes a goods temporary storage platform 105 and a positioning device. The goods temporary storage platform 105 can receive the standardized goods unit 103 dropped by the drone. The goods temporary storage platform 105 includes a platform board for placing the standardized goods unit 103.
[0026] The positioning device includes a visual recognition module for identifying specific marks or patterns on the drone and calculating the relative position and attitude of the drone relative to the goods temporary storage area; And a wireless communication module for receiving the positioning request sent by the drone and sending accurate position guidance information to the drone based on a preset communication protocol.
[0027] Among them, the visual recognition module is also used to identify whether the standardized goods unit 103 is in the correct attitude. The correct attitude means that the goods information RFID tag 107 on the standardized goods unit 103 is facing the picking structure 2. To ensure that after the standardized goods unit 103 is placed in the goods temporary storage area 101, the goods information RFID tag 107 on it is also facing the picking structure 2.
[0028] If the goods information RFID tag 107 on the standardized goods unit 103 is not facing the picking structure 2 (the visual recognition module does not capture the goods information RFID tag 107 in the current perspective), the drone needs to adjust its attitude so that the standardized goods unit 103 is placed in the goods temporary storage area 101 in the correct attitude.
[0029] The goods storage area 102 can store a relatively large number of standardized goods units 103 simultaneously. The overall structure of the goods storage area 102 is a grid structure, and the independent storage cells 104 are for placing the standardized goods units 103.
[0030] Specifically, the shelf 1 includes a support frame, and the support frame constitutes the goods temporary storage platform 105. There are multiple groups of feet that are opposite to each other between adjacent support frames. The feet are used to carry the standardized goods units 103 (i.e., perform the function of the goods temporary storage platform 105). Among them, the feet are corbel structures and are arranged on the support frame by means of threaded connection or welding. Moreover, there is a set spacing between adjacent feet. That is to say, adjacent feet do not form a complete plate-like structure, so as to ensure that the picking structure can directly insert into the set spacing between adjacent feet to put in or take out the standardized goods units 103.
[0031] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a lifting assembly 4 is provided. A key connection relationship of the lifting assembly 4 is that it is connected to the feet located in the goods temporary storage area.
[0032] Among them, the core function of the lifting assembly 4 is configured to drive the feet located in the goods temporary storage area to perform lifting motion. This means that through the action of the lifting assembly 4, these feet can move integrally in the vertical direction to achieve elevation or depression. The purpose of this lifting motion may be to adjust the height of goods storage and to conduct handover with transportation equipment (referring to drones), etc.
[0033] Preferably, in order to achieve stable, precise and reliable lifting drive, the lifting assembly 4 includes: A motor, as a power source, provides rotational power. The motor can be a servo motor, a stepper motor or a general motor with a reducer to meet the requirements for lifting speed, precision and load.
[0034] A set of gear-rack structure, which is the key mechanical part for converting rotational motion into linear motion.
[0035] In this preferred structure, the gear-rack structure is connected to the output shaft of the motor (usually the motor drives the gear to rotate), and this structure is also connected to the feet located in the goods temporary storage area. The specific connection method can be: The motor drives the gear, the gear meshes with the rack, the rack drives the feet, and the output shaft of the motor is connected and drives the gear to rotate. The rack is firmly connected to the feet that need to be lifted (or a part thereof, such as a telescopic inner column). When the motor drives the gear to rotate, it pushes the meshing rack (to perform linear motion. Since the rack is connected to the feet, the linear motion of the rack is directly converted into the lifting motion of the feet.
[0036] To further improve the accuracy and safety of the lifting component 4 in driving the feet movement, an optoelectronic sensor can be added, whose main function is to detect (or monitor) the (one or more specific) positions of the feet.
[0037] By setting optoelectronic sensors at preset key heights (e.g., docking height, safety height, height corresponding to storage level), the control system can accurately stop the operation of the motor according to the trigger signal of the sensor, so that the feet can stay stably at the target position, realizing high-precision positioning control.
[0038] Installing optoelectronic sensors at the physical upper and lower limit positions of the lifting stroke can serve as hard limit switches. When the feet movement triggers the upper or lower limit sensor, the control system immediately stops the motor from driving in that direction, effectively preventing the feet from exceeding the designed stroke range and avoiding mechanical damage or overload to the rack and pinion structure, the motor, or the feet themselves.
[0039] The optoelectronic sensor can be used to confirm whether the feet have indeed reached a certain command position or are in a certain expected state (e.g., fully raised or fully lowered). This state feedback is crucial for step confirmation and safety interlock in the automation process.
[0040] In the specific arrangement, these optoelectronic sensors are usually installed beside the movement trajectory of the feet (or a specific marker attached to the feet, such as a light-shielding sheet). When the feet move into the effective detection range of the sensor, the feet or the marker will block (for transmissive or reflective sensors) or reflect (for retroreflective sensors) the optical path of the sensor, resulting in a change in the output state of the sensor (e.g., from ON to OFF, or vice versa). This changed electrical signal is transmitted to the main controller of the device (such as a PLC or a single-chip microcomputer).
[0041] The controller executes corresponding control logics, such as precisely controlling the start, stop, acceleration, and deceleration of the motor, based on the received sensor signals and in combination with the current control instructions (e.g., "rise to position A", "descend to the bottom"). According to the requirements of application complexity and safety level, only upper and lower limit sensors can be set, or sensors can be set at multiple intermediate key positions.
[0042] Therefore, by adding optoelectronic sensors for position detection, the lifting component 4 of the present invention can achieve more intelligent, precise, and safe control of the feet lifting, improving the reliability and automation level of the operation of the entire device.
[0043] The independent storage bin 104 establishes a unique mapping relationship with the standardized goods unit 103 for the purpose of: Improving management efficiency. Through the unique mapping, the specific storage bin where the goods are located can be quickly located, reducing the search time; Ensure accuracy, avoid confusion or mis-matching between goods and storage compartments, prevent goods from being lost or misplaced, and ensure that each group of storage compartments can only store the corresponding standardized goods unit 103; The unique mapping relationship can be achieved through identifiers or databases, etc. The unique mapping relationship can ensure that the standardized goods unit 103 is stored in the corresponding independent storage compartment 104, which is convenient for the picking, storage and subsequent replenishment of goods, and ensures efficient and accurate goods management.
[0044] The picking structure 2 can identify the identifier of the corresponding goods compartment, and then precisely move to manage the goods on the shelf 1. The picking structure 2 includes: The first driving component 201 and the plate fork component. Among them, the first driving component 201 is a hoist, which is used to drive the plate fork component to perform lifting motion and horizontal displacement, so that the picking structure 2 grabs the standardized goods unit 103 and moves between the goods temporary storage area 101, the goods storage area 102 and the shipping structure 3, which is convenient for goods management.
[0045] The plate fork component includes a second driving component 202 and a plate fork 203; The second driving component 202 is connected to the plate fork 203. Among them, the second driving component 202 is used to drive the plate fork 203 to insert into or withdraw from the independent storage compartment 104, which is convenient for the placement or removal of the standardized goods unit 103.
[0046] In a specific embodiment, the second driving component 202 can be an electric slide rail.
[0047] The picking structure 2 transports the corresponding goods selected by the personnel to the shipping structure 3, and the shipping structure 3 can convey the goods for the personnel to pick up.
[0048] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, according to different types of goods, the internal structure of the standardized goods unit 103 will be different. For example, for some easily broken goods, a flexible structure is provided inside the standardized goods unit 103. The flexible structure can provide flexible support for the fragile goods and avoid damage during transportation. The standardized goods unit 103 can accommodate multiple groups of the same type of standardized goods unit 103, which is convenient for the storage and sale of goods; The goods information RFID tag 107 is set on the outside of the standardized goods unit 103. A protective cover is set at the corresponding position of the standardized goods unit 103 or the tag itself uses a waterproof material. The waterproof material can be selected from epoxy resin, PVC, TPU, etc., and has the characteristics of waterproof, dustproof and corrosion-resistant, avoiding damage to the tag caused by external environmental factors; When picking up goods, the RFID reader / writer 108 on the goods picking structure 2 is used to match it with the goods information in the database, so as to determine its current location coordinates. Then, based on the goods information of the identified standardized goods unit 103, the coordinates are obtained, and the standardized goods unit 103 is transferred and stored in the corresponding independent storage bin 104.
[0049] Among them, the positioning encoder of the goods picking structure 2 realizes the detection of the real-time position information of the goods picking structure 2 through meshing with the guide rail of the goods shelf 1. The output end of the positioning encoder is connected to the coordinate mapping module of the independent storage bin 104. This module can receive and analyze the data fed back by the encoder, and then convert the current position of the goods picking structure 2 into the standard coordinate system in the goods shelf system to accurately locate the corresponding independent storage bin 104.
[0050] Specifically, the positioning encoder can adopt an incremental encoder or an absolute encoder, and generate real-time position information by measuring the moving distance, speed and direction of the goods picking structure 2 along the guide rail. The independent storage bin coordinate mapping module matches the data transmitted by the positioning encoder with the storage position of the goods shelf 1 based on the preset coordinate system in the database, so as to determine the specific storage bin position where the goods picking structure 2 is located, and guide the access operation of the standardized goods unit 103.
[0051] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, a dual-band RFID verification reader / writer is provided at the feeding port of the independent storage bin 104. The working frequency of the RFID reader / writer 108 is set to 32MHZ, and at least a difference of 20MHZ is required to ensure that both the RFID reader / writer 108 and the dual-band RFID verification reader / writer can work stably at the same time to avoid frequency interference; The dual-band design of the dual-band RFID verification reader / writer allows the reader / writer to switch within multiple frequency bands, further reducing the interference risk. The dual band usually selects two common RFID frequency bands, such as (high frequency 13.56MHZ) and (ultra high frequency 860 - 960MHZ). The frequency difference between the two is much greater than 20MHZ, which can meet the requirements. In fact, the goods information RFID tag 107 should support the dual-frequency bands; The dual-band RFID verification reader / writer is set at the feeding port of the independent storage bin 104 to verify the goods information RFID tag 107 of the incoming goods, ensure the matching of the goods and the storage bin, and the dual band can ensure that when the tag does not support one of the frequency bands, it switches to the other frequency band for reading (such as not supporting UHF, then switching to HF).
[0052] The exception handling module is used to monitor the reading of the RFID tag 107 of the goods information by the dual-band RFID verification reader-writer. When an exception occurs during reading (the reasons for the exception include but are not limited to: the goods do not match the storage bin, signal interference, multi-tag conflict, reader-writer failure, tag damage, etc.), the exception information is transmitted to the exception handling mechanism. The exception handling mechanism drives the picking structure 2 to return the abnormal standardized goods unit 103 to the goods temporary storage area 101 for subsequent processing. The audible and visual alarm gives an alarm about the abnormal situation in the form of sound and light, so that personnel can promptly handle the abnormal items or check the abnormal situation. The setting of the exception handling module can avoid the occurrence of the situation where the storage bin does not match, thereby ensuring the subsequent sales and inventory statistics of the standardized goods unit 103, etc.
[0053] The abnormal goods handling area is provided with a monitoring probe that can monitor this area in real time and record the information of the abnormal goods, which is convenient for traceability and analysis.
[0054] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, a channel for placing the shipping structure 3 is formed at the bottom of the shelf 1, and the channel opening is the shipping outlet 301. The shipping outlet 301 allows the conveying component 302 to transport the standardized goods unit 103 from between two adjacent shelves 1 to the outside of the shelf 1 for personnel to pick up; The conveying component 302 includes a bracket and a conveyor belt. The bracket can support the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is used to convey the standardized goods unit 103. A sensor is provided on the bracket, and the sensor can monitor the standardized goods unit 103. When it is detected that the standardized goods unit 103 comes into contact with the conveyor belt, the corresponding signal is transmitted to the controller of the conveyor belt, and the controller controls the conveyor belt to convey the standardized goods unit 103 towards the shipping outlet 301.
