Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic packaging and shipping, and in particular to an automatic packaging and shipping system for a smart store warehouse. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the increasing demand for smart cities, efficient and low-cost unmanned vending models are becoming increasingly popular. Consequently, existing technologies offer smart store and warehouse solutions, such as unmanned stores (also known as unmanned retail stores or unmanned supermarkets) and automated warehouses (also known as automated warehousing).

[0003] In the current smart store warehouse solution, robots are usually used to replace manual labor to pick goods in the store / warehouse, including various storage robots, service robots, industrial robots and intelligent robotic arms. As an example, Chinese patent application CN202011522200.5 discloses an unmanned delivery method for a new retail forward warehouse, which includes: receiving user orders; according to the order information, controlling the mobile robot to sort the goods in the sorting area, and transporting the goods to the baler for packaging; controlling the unmanned delivery station to receive the goods packaged from the baler, and transferring the full cargo box loaded with the goods to the drone; controlling the unmanned delivery station to receive the empty cargo box unloaded from the drone. In the above solution, the goods are sorted by mobile robots, and the drones carry fully loaded cargo boxes to the locations of each user, realizing the automation of the entire process of sorting, packaging and delivery. For example, the background technology of Chinese patent ZL202020888240.0 discloses an online unmanned supermarket that can realize 24-hour unmanned automatic vending. It uses a picking robot to pick up goods directly from the shelves. The picking robot shuttles between the shelves and picks up goods at different heights of each shelf. It does not require shopping guides, checkout staff and packing staff, and can realize automatic sorting and distribution. It can realize automatic distribution, and the courier can directly take away and deliver it, reducing the labor cost of the unmanned supermarket.

[0004] However, when shipping goods through smart warehouses, some goods require labeling. For example, when shipping prescription drugs, prescription information is often affixed to the goods to provide to the user. Since the aforementioned unmanned supply / delivery solution cannot perform automatic labeling, the types of goods that can be shipped unmanned are limited, affecting the applicable scenarios of unmanned supply systems.

[0005] On the other hand, existing unmanned supply / delivery solutions often fail to reach forward warehouses or supermarket pickup windows in time to pick up goods, hindering the normal packaging and shipment of subsequent orders. Robots often need to wait until the goods are picked up before starting to pack and ship, which undoubtedly leads to order backlogs and affects packaging and shipping efficiency. Furthermore, existing unmanned supply / delivery solutions do not allow for self-service returns, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0048] See also Figure 1 As shown, taking the smart store warehouse as an unmanned retail store 10 (or unmanned store) as an example, the present invention provides an automatic packaging and shipping system for the unmanned retail store 10.

[0049] The unmanned retail store 10 is closed, that is, consumers cannot enter the unmanned retail store 10. The unmanned retail store 10 is provided with shelves 11, and the shelves 11 are used for storing goods.

[0050] The automatic packaging and shipping system includes an intelligent robot 100 and an automatic packaging machine 200.

[0051] The intelligent robot 100 can move within the smart store warehouse and, based on received shipping orders, pick up goods from the shelves within the smart store warehouse and place them into the automatic packaging machine. Furthermore, the intelligent robot can pick up packages that have been packaged by the automatic packaging machine. After picking up packages, the intelligent robot can move the packages to a pickup window within the unmanned retail store 10 for users to pick up at the window.

[0052] The manner in which the intelligent robot takes goods from the shelf 11 includes the intelligent robot actively taking goods from the shelf, and also includes the intelligent robot docking with the shelf and then obtaining goods that fall from the shelf.

[0053] In a specific configuration, the intelligent robot may include a controller, a travel unit, and a pickup arm, both of which are connected to and controlled by the controller. Upon receiving a shipment order from a system server or user terminal, the intelligent robot's controller controls the movement of the travel unit and the pickup arm based on the purchased goods in the shipment order, moving the robot to a shelf location to retrieve and distribute the goods.

[0054] The traveling portion includes a displacement structure for realizing the position movement of the robot. The displacement structure, by way of example and not limitation, may be a humanoid leg structure, casters, etc. The displacement structure may move in a track-based motion or a trackless motion. When a track-based motion is adopted, a track needs to be set up in the store. Preferably, the displacement structure in this embodiment adopts movable casters, which are driven by a motor. The intelligent robot moves between the shelves via casters, and the controller controls the movement of the picking robot arm according to the received shipping order to take the goods from the shelf and then put them into the automatic packaging machine.

[0055] In this embodiment, the shelf 11 can be an ordinary shelf or a smart shelf.

[0056] When the shelves are ordinary shelves, the intelligent robot 100 can directly pick up goods from the shelves through a picking mechanism. Specifically, the picking robot arm can be provided with a suction cup grabbing structure and / or a clamping claw grabbing structure as a picking mechanism. Preferably, there are two picking robot arms, mounted on the left and right sides of the robot trunk, respectively, one robot arm is provided with a suction cup grabbing structure, and the other robot arm is provided with a clamping claw grabbing structure. The control circuit of each robot arm is connected to a controller, which controls the robot arm to absorb or clamp goods from the shelf.

[0057] In this embodiment, a height adjustment unit may be provided between the robot torso and the travel unit. The height of the robot torso, and thus the height of the robotic arm, may be adjusted by adjusting the height adjustment unit. By way of example and not limitation, the height adjustment unit may be a humanoid leg-like structure (with joints that adjust height by bending), a vertically telescopic structure, or a folding and lifting structure (such as a scissor lift). This is not intended to be limiting.

[0058] When the shelf adopts an intelligent shelf, the shelf is provided with an automatic delivery lane capable of automatically delivering goods, including but not limited to a ramp lane, a spring spiral lane, a crawler lane, a push-plate lane, a hook lane, etc., and the goods are placed in the automatic delivery lane. The intelligent shelf is docked with the intelligent robot 100, and the automatic delivery lane receives the control of the main controller and can deliver goods under the control of the main controller. The delivered goods enter the picking mechanism of the intelligent robot 100, thereby completing the picking from the shelf. Preferably, the picking mechanism includes a picking tray or a picking bucket, and the goods shipped in the delivery lane are obtained through the picking tray or the picking bucket.

[0059] In this embodiment, the intelligent robot 100's picking arm can also be equipped with a code scanning mechanism and / or an RFID reader to read the corresponding coded data and / or RFID card data on the picked goods. The coded data and / or RFID card data on the goods can store detailed information about the goods. If needed, the arm can also be equipped with a scale for weighing the items.

[0060] Preferably, the intelligent robot 100 may also include an AI visual recognition structure, which is used to review the picked-up goods, and after the review is passed, the goods are put into the automatic packaging machine. In specific implementation, the AI ​​visual recognition structure may include a camera and an image recognition system. The camera is used to capture image data of the picked-up goods and transmit the image data to the aforementioned image recognition system. The image recognition system is used to identify the goods in the aforementioned image data, and compare the identified goods information with the goods information that needs to be shipped to obtain a review result, and send the review result to the controller. The aforementioned controller receives the review result, and when the review is passed, the goods are put into the automatic packaging machine; when the review fails, the goods can be put into the designated recycling area.

[0061] The automatic packaging machine may include a cargo receiving portion, a packaging component, and a labeling component.

[0062] The cargo receiving portion is used to receive the cargo. Specifically, the cargo receiving portion may include a cargo input port and a cargo transmission channel, such as a ramp channel. The height of the cargo input port matches the height of the intelligent robot. After the intelligent robot inputs the cargo through the cargo input port, the cargo enters the packaging assembly through the ramp channel.

[0063] The packaging assembly is used to open a packaging bag to load the ordered goods and to pack the bags to form a package. The packaging bag can be a plastic bag or a paper bag.

[0064] The labeling component is used to label packaging bags or packages. Specifically, the labeling component may include a label printer and a labeling mechanism. The label printer is used to print and output labels, and the labeling mechanism is used to affix the output labels to packaging bags or packages. For example, the labeling mechanism may be a robotic arm that obtains the order label and affixes it to the packaging bag or package, or a robotic arm that grabs the packaging bag or package and moves it to the label for labeling. Taking medicine as an example, the label may contain medical advice information. The label printer is preferably a thermal printer.

[0065] The above solution realizes the full process automation of sorting, packaging and labeling in the store warehouse, expands the applicable scenarios of smart store warehouses, and facilitates the promotion of smart store warehouses.

[0066] In another embodiment of this embodiment, the automatic packaging and shipping system may further include a grid cabinet 300. The intelligent robot may store the packaged parcels in the grid cabinet for storage. When the user picks up the parcel, he or she may directly pick it up through the grid cabinet. Figure 2 The grid cabinet can form multiple pickup ports and can store parcels of shipping orders. In this way, even if the parcel is not picked up by the user in time, it will not affect the packaging and shipment of subsequent shipping orders, effectively solving the problem of order backlog caused by the failure to pick up the parcel in time.

[0067] The grid cabinet 300 can be integrated with the automatic baler 200. In this case, the grid cabinet 300 and the automatic baler 200 can be installed in the same cabinet and controlled by the same controller. Alternatively, the grid cabinet 300 and the automatic baler 200 can be installed separately. In this case, the grid cabinet 300 and the automatic baler 200 can be installed in different cabinets and each can be controlled by an independent controller.

[0068] As a preferred typical embodiment, the packaging components of the automatic packaging machine 200 may specifically include a bag storage mechanism, a bag delivery mechanism, a bag opening mechanism and a packaging mechanism.

[0069] The bag storage mechanism is used to store packaging bags. The packaging bags are paper bags or plastic bags. Preferably, the paper bags can be stacked or hung (when the packaging bags are provided with handles) in the storage cavity of the bag storage mechanism. The plastic bags are rolled up in the storage cavity of the bag storage mechanism to form a plastic bag roll, which is mounted on a rotating shaft.

[0070] The bag feeding mechanism is used to transport the packaging bags in the bag storage mechanism to the bag opening mechanism. For paper bags, the bag feeding mechanism can be implemented by a conveyor belt or a mechanical arm, and for plastic bag rolls, the bag feeding mechanism can adopt a film guide roller.

[0071] The bag opening mechanism is used to open the entrance of the packaging bag, and after the goods are put into the packaging bag from the entrance, the sealing mechanism seals the entrance of the packaging bag. The sealing mechanism is preferably a heat sealing mechanism.

[0072] For details, see Figure 3 and 4As shown, the automatic baler 200 may include a baler cabinet 210, within which are located the bag storage, feeding, opening, and sealing mechanisms of the aforementioned baling assembly 230. An air compressor is also provided within the cabinet as a driver. The air compressor drives the baler's bag feeding, opening, and sealing mechanisms to perform various operations. The use of an air compressor for bag feeding, opening, and sealing in balers is conventional, and reference may be made to various prior art references to bag storage, feeding, opening, and sealing mechanisms, which will not be further detailed here.

[0073] In this embodiment, a touch screen 220 is provided on the baler cabinet 210 of the automatic baler 200. Figure 3 As shown, the touch screen 220 can display the status of the packaging bags and printing paper materials in the automatic packaging machine 200.

[0074] Preferably, the cabinet of the automatic packaging machine 200 may also be equipped with folding shelves, onto which packaged packages can be transported and stored. Specifically, packaged packages can be transported to the cabinet's folding shelves for storage via a transmission channel (e.g., a ramp) or an automatic transmission mechanism (e.g., a conveyor belt) within the cabinet. Alternatively, packaged packages can be moved to the folding shelves by an intelligent robot. The folding shelves can be folded when not in use and unfolded to form a storage surface for goods when in use.

[0075] See also Figure 5 and 6 The figure illustrates a typical structure of a grid cabinet 300 for an automated packaging and shipping system. The grid cabinet 300 includes a cabinet 310, which may be equipped with crisscrossing partitions.
