[0067] Please refer to Figure 1, the logistics cabinet provided by the embodiment of the present application is applicable to the field of logistics transportation, and includes a cabinet body support 1, a cover 2 surrounding the outside of the cabinet body support 1, and at least one set of traveling wheels 3 provided at the corners of the cabinet body support 1; the cabinet body support 1 and the cover 2 enclose a receiving space for placing goods in the logistics cabinet. In this embodiment, the traveling wheels 3 are provided as a set. When moving, like a traditional flatbed cart, lift the armrest on one side so that only the traveling wheels touch the ground and push or pull it away. Position codes 7 and / or indicating devices 8 are provided on at least one horizontal and vertical edge of the cabinet body support 1; avoidance grooves are respectively formed in the middle of multiple panels of the cover 2 and at multiple corners of the cabinet body support 1, and a flexible enclosure for closing the avoidance grooves and recessed inwardly towards the inside of the cabinet body support 1 is provided between the cabinet body support 1 and the cover 2; the flexible enclosure can be deformed under an external force to ensure that it neither affects the grip during operation nor occupies the internal receiving space of the cabinet; a label plate 6 is provided on at least one panel of the cover 2 to realize the informatization of the logistics cabinet.

[0068] In other embodiments, the traveling wheels 3 can also be provided as two sets, three sets or even four sets, and are selected and installed according to actual needs. For example, when four sets of traveling wheels are provided, the logistics cabinet can be smoothly pushed when any side is facing down, and the applicability is stronger.

[0069] The logistics cabinet provided by the embodiment of the present application adopts standardized, generalized and informatized designs. The specifications include but are not limited to standard size, enlarged size, 2 times the standard size, 1 / 2 standard size, etc., and can be compatible with the loading containers used by most logistics enterprises, express companies and most scenarios in the market, and the applicable range is very wide.

[0070] In one of the embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the cover 2 includes two relatively arranged first sides 21, second sides 22 and third sides 23 that are symmetrically arranged with respect to the diagonal of the logistics cabinet, and fourth sides 24 and fifth sides 25 that are symmetrically arranged with respect to the diagonal of the logistics cabinet; the symmetric design can make the use of the logistics cabinet more general and convenient. Especially when docking with the auxiliary loading and unloading device during loading and unloading of the vehicle, there is no need to specifically find a specific docking surface. A lock 9 that cooperates with the cabinet support 1 is provided on the first side 21 and / or the side opposite thereto. The lock 9 is an existing product on the market and will not be elaborated here; after unlocking, the first side 21 and / or its opposite side can be removed as a whole, facilitating the storage of goods and can be used as a shelf in the post station. First avoidance grooves 4 are respectively provided in the middle parts of the second side 22 and the third side 23. The first avoidance grooves 4 can facilitate the user to better hold the cabinet support 1, thereby better pushing, pulling or flipping the logistics cabinet during loading and unloading of the vehicle. Second avoidance grooves 5 are respectively provided at the corners where the second side 22 intersects with the fourth side 24, the third side 23 intersects with the fifth side 25, and the fourth side 24 intersects with the fifth side 25. The function is basically the same as that of the first avoidance groove 4 and will not be elaborated here. The first avoidance groove 4 has a strip-shaped structure, and the second avoidance grooves 5 are distributed on both sides of the cabinet corner to avoid the user's hand from holding the cabinet support 1.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, avoidance grooves are respectively provided in the middle parts of multiple panels of the cover and at multiple corners of the cabinet support, and these avoidance grooves are closed by a flexible enclosure that is recessed inwardly of the cabinet support, thereby leaving enough holding parts to facilitate the grasping, placing and flipping of the logistics cabinet when loading and unloading the logistics cabinet, and basically not occupying the internal accommodation space of the cabinet, with convenient operation and high space utilization rate.

[0072] In one of the embodiments, footrest positions 10 are respectively provided on the second side 22 and the third side 23 near the traveling wheels 3 to facilitate the operation of the user. Especially when loading and unloading goods when getting on and off the vehicle, when it is necessary to dock the logistics cabinet with other devices, it is usually necessary to lift the other end of the logistics cabinet. At this time, the user only needs to step on the footrest position 10, which has a simple structure and convenient operation.

[0073] More specifically, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the cabinet body support 1 includes a support main body 11, a first cross bar 13 and a second cross bar 14 arranged in the middle of the two support main bodies 11; the support main body 11 adopts a unique cut - corner design, and a handle is designed at the cut - corner, mainly aiming at the scenario where the logistics cabinet needs to be flipped, which is convenient for changing hands during the flipping process. In this embodiment, the three first cross bars 13 are respectively arranged at the corners where the second side 22 and the fourth side 24, the third side 23 and the fifth side 25, and the fourth side 24 and the fifth side 25 intersect; the two second cross bars 14 are respectively arranged in the first avoidance grooves 4 of the second side 22 and the third side 23; it should be noted that the exposed part of the first cross bar 13 can be used as a handle or as a limit structure when docking with the auxiliary loading and unloading device.

[0074] Preferably, the support main body 11 is also provided with a handle 15 at the corner where the walking wheel 3 is located and a lock hole 16 at the position where it is docked with the lock catch 9; the cooperation between the lock hole 16 and the lock catch 9 realizes the locking and unlocking of the first side 21. In this embodiment, the first cross bar 13 and the second cross bar 14 have the same structure, both are made of pipes, only the positions are different, and they can be round pipes or square pipes, which can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0075] In one embodiment, the cabinet body support 1 further includes one or more partition boards 12 arranged in the middle of the support main body 11, and the partition boards 12 are arranged horizontally and / or vertically and are detachably connected to the cabinet body support 1; used to divide the internal space of the logistics cabinet into multiple sub - spaces, which is an optional device and can be installed or not installed according to needs, and can be installed one or multiple; the functions are: one is to divide the goods in the logistics cabinet into different sub - spaces, which is convenient for separate picking, placing and searching; the other is that under the action of the partition board, it can reduce the rotation amplitude of the goods inside the cabinet during flipping and transportation.

[0076] More specifically, the cover 2 can be any one or a combination of a whole board, a mesh board or a nylon cloth surface. When the logistics cabinet needs to be completely enclosed, a whole sealing board such as a sheet metal, a plastic board or a PP honeycomb board can be used; when it does not need to be completely enclosed, a fine metal wire mesh or a woven mesh can be used, as Figure 6 shown; the nylon cloth surface can also be selected according to needs, and the logistics cabinet can be directly opened or closed through a zipper; or a rolling shutter door can be used to quickly open or close the logistics cabinet; of course, a combination of the above can also be used, and the selection is based on the actual needs, taking into account strength and weight reduction design.

[0077] More specifically, as Figure 7As shown, a multi-functional electronic tag is provided on the label plate 6 for identification by humans and / or machines; the multi-functional electronic tag includes any one or a combination of a text identifier 61, a digital identifier 62, a QR code identifier 63, a pose identifier 64, a positioning angle identifier 65, and an RFID identifier 66; the information included in the multi-functional electronic tag includes but is not limited to the position coordinates, attitude, number, specification of the logistics cabinet, and the types and weights of items in the cabinet, etc.; the text identifier 61 or the digital identifier 62 or a combination of the two can facilitate direct reading by humans; the QR code identifier 63 can be identified by a reading device; the pose identifier 64 can identify the position (x, y, z) and attitude (θ, ω, φ) of the target logistics cabinet through a reading device to convey pose information, identify the coordinates and front of the logistics cabinet, and obtain relative position and attitude information to facilitate correct grasping by the manipulator; the positioning angle identifier 65 can determine which surface the label plate 6 is on, so as to quickly determine the placement angle of the logistics cabinet; the RFID identifier 66 facilitates the reading device to obtain the information of the logistics cabinet within a certain distance non-contact and invisibly.

[0078] It should be noted that the label plate 6 and the logistics cabinet have a one-to-one matching relationship, and an easy-to-see and anti-pollution design is adopted. When multiple logistics cabinets all have label plates 6, by uniquely numbering the multi-functional electronic tags on the label plates 6 and using different texts, numbers, QR codes, RFID, and April tags for distinction, each logistics cabinet has a unique ID.

[0079] Preferably, the number of the label plates 6 is three, which are respectively arranged on the second side surface 22, the third side surface 23, and the fifth side surface 25, ensuring that no matter what state the logistics cabinet is in, such as being pushed, pulled, flipped onto a vehicle for transportation, or being used as a shelf in a post station, at least one surface is visible, avoiding the information of the logistics cabinet being unreadable due to stacking or occlusion.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a label plate on the logistics cabinet, unique identification of the target logistics cabinet is realized in situations such as manual operation, manual carrying of intelligent terminals, and automatic operation of robots. Multiple functions are integrated on one label plate, and with the assistance of spatial positioning technology and the multi-functional electronic tag, precise positioning and pose determination of the target logistics cabinet are achieved, improving the positioning accuracy of the target logistics cabinet and greatly enhancing the efficiency of searching for the target logistics cabinet.

[0081] More specifically, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the position code 7 includes a code origin 71, a transverse code 72 and a longitudinal code 73; the code origin 71 coincides with the axis of the walking wheel 3; the transverse code 72 and the longitudinal code 73 both have scale segments, and the intersection of the spatial vertical displacement of one of the scale segments of the transverse code 72 and the spatial lateral displacement of one of the scale segments of the longitudinal code 73 forms the absolute position information of one of the items in the logistics cabinet, and electronic information is generated according to the absolute position information and sent to the recipient; the transverse code 72 and the longitudinal code 73 can be encoded with numbers, letters or Chinese characters; an example is as follows: the logistics cabinet where the user's item to be picked up is numbered 01, the scale segment of the transverse code 72 is CD, and the scale segment of the longitudinal code 73 is 0608, then the absolute position information of the item to be picked up is 01-CD-0608.

[0082] Preferably, the indicating device 8 is arranged on the outer side surface of the bracket body 11 and corresponds one-to-one with the scale segments of the transverse code 72 and the longitudinal code 73 .

[0083] More specifically, the indicating device 8 includes any one or a combination of a warning light module and a warning sound module; the warning light module includes a light strip or light beads that can display multiple colors, preferably a light strip. Taking the above-mentioned user's pickup as an example, after the user enters the absolute position information, the logistics cabinet numbered 01, the light strip with the horizontal code 72 in the CD segment and the light strip with the vertical code 73 in the 0608 segment both display green, and the intersection of the two light strips is the location of the items to be picked up. It should be noted that when there are many people picking up items, the terminal will prompt the user with the color of the light strip for distinction; when some items are taken out, the cargo position of the logistics cabinet will deviate due to displacement, and only the approximate position can be determined at this time; when most of the items are taken out, the user can directly find their own items from the minority of items based on the received appearance photos.

[0084] The embodiment of the present application can generate and remind the user of the absolute location information of the item to be picked up through position coding, and can further remind the user of the pickup location through the indicating device. No assistance from logistics staff is required. The physical location of the item to be picked up can be found independently based on the received absolute location information and with the assistance of the prompting device, which can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of pickup, and also provide more convenient hardware support for unmanned operation of the post station.

[0085] In one embodiment, the logistics cabinet also includes a data processing module electrically connected to the indicating device 8, and the data processing module is used to store and send the absolute position information of the items in the logistics cabinet to the user, and when receiving the position signal input by the user, it drives the indicating device 8 to issue a pickup reminder for the corresponding position.

[0086] The embodiment of the present application also provides a logistics transportation system, as Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, which includes a vehicle chassis 100 and an auxiliary loading and unloading device 200, and also includes one or more logistics cabinets as described above. The logistics cabinets are loaded and unloaded onto and off the vehicle chassis 100 through the auxiliary loading and unloading device 200.

[0087] It should be noted that the vehicle chassis 100 uses existing mature products, which can be a manned vehicle or an unmanned vehicle; the auxiliary loading and unloading device also uses existing equipment on the market, which can be electric or manual, and the number can be one or more. When multiple are arranged, they can be placed on the same side of the vehicle chassis 100 or on different sides and staggered from each other.

[0088] The embodiment of the present application also provides a post station, which includes a lifting device 300 and also includes the logistics cabinets as described above. The logistics cabinets are stacked and assembled through the lifting device 300 to form a shelf with a position code 7, as Figure 13 shown. The lifting device 300 uses existing products on the market and will not be elaborated here.

[0089] In specific use, after the logistics cabinets are transported to the post station, it is not necessary to take out the express items in the cabinets, put them on the shelves, and perform processes such as scanning codes and pasting labels. Instead, multiple logistics cabinets are stacked or assembled through the lifting device 300 and used as a pick-up shelf as a whole. This can greatly simplify the operation process of the post station for handling express deliveries, improve efficiency, and reduce labor.

[0090] Under the action of the position code 7, absolute position coding is performed on the items to be picked up in the logistics cabinets, and absolute position information is generated and sent to the customers through the data processing module.

[0091] Preferably, a pick-up interaction point is also set in the post station. When a user picks up an item, at the pick-up interaction point, the absolute position information of the item to be picked up is input by means of input or scanning. At this time, the indicating device 8 of the logistics cabinet where the item to be picked up is located will give a voice and / or light reminder to guide the user to quickly find the item to be picked up, which is more concise and efficient compared to the current process of searching for shelves, shelf layers, and comparing serial numbers in the entire post station.

[0092] Further preferably, a reminder light is arranged on the periphery of the logistics cabinet. After the user inputs the absolute position information of the item to be picked up, the reminder light on the logistics cabinet where the item is located shows the same color as the reminder on the user terminal, which is convenient for the user to quickly find the logistics cabinet where the item is located, and then find the item according to the absolute position information and the indicating device.

[0093] The embodiment of the present application further provides an automatic sorting center, which includes an automatic sorting line 400, an AGV 500 and a robotic arm 600, and further includes the logistics cabinet as described above. The logistics cabinet is placed at the end of the unloading area of the automatic sorting line 400. The robotic arm 600 is mounted on the upper end of the AGV 500 and is used to shuttle between different unloading areas and stack the items in the unloading area into the logistics cabinet. One robotic arm 600 can correspond to multiple logistics cabinets for loading, and record the specific placement position of each express delivery in the logistics cabinet during the stacking process, so as to associate the next transportation and pick-up at the post station.

[0094] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
