TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to automatic vending equipment accessory manufacturing technical field, specifically a kind of structure is reasonable, touch sensitive, it can satisfy the retail cabinet hook device with in-place management function based on bluetooth communication of the demand of the shelving of various kinds of products of intelligent retail cabinet. BACKGROUND
[0002] Intelligent retail cabinet is a new retail format, using artificial intelligence and internet of things technology, provides self-service shopping for consumers, and realizes automatic inventory management and payment settlement function. Product management, inventory management and sales data analysis are the three important functions of intelligent retail cabinet. Intelligent retail cabinet can be divided into three categories from the way of taking goods: mechanical arm automatic taking, fixed grid taking and open-door self-taking retail cabinet. Open-door taking automatic retail cabinet is an innovative sales mode, which can provide convenient, fast and affordable shopping experience to meet the needs of different users.
[0003] Product management is an important link. Reasonable product selection and layout can attract customers' purchasing desire and improve sales performance. Inventory management mainly refers to the work of goods-in, replenishment and inventory checking. Effective inventory management can reduce the situation of goods shortage and inventory accumulation, and improve profitability. Among them, the inventory situation of goods can be monitored in real time through internet of things technology. Retailers can set up inventory warning according to actual situation, and purchase or replenish in advance to ensure the supply of goods. Sales data analysis is a crucial link in the operation and management of intelligent retail cabinet. Through the analysis of sales data, retailers can understand the purchasing habits and needs of consumers, and adjust the selection of goods and price strategy according to the actual situation. The current industry generally exists the problem of low accuracy of article identification, which leads to the difference between the taken goods and the back-end billing price, causing a poor shopping experience for consumers. The current open-door self-taking intelligent retail cabinet mainly has three categories of article management technology: video image recognition, RFID radio frequency reading and weighing detection. Video image recognition is to analyze the type of goods through camera recording and snapshot of the taking process. Its disadvantage is that it may not be accurate. RFID radio frequency reading is to monitor the reduced goods through RFID reader. Its disadvantage is that it needs to paste RFID tags on the goods, and the shelving steps are complicated. Weighing detection is to determine the reduced goods through the data change of weighing sensor. Its disadvantage is that it cannot distinguish the types of goods with the same weight.
