[0030] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0031] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner", "outer", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this application is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0032] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms “set up,” “install,” “connect,” and “link” shall be interpreted broadly, for example, as a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; as a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; as a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or as a connection within two components.
[0033] The technical solution of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 This application provides a receiving and dispatching device 10, including: a main frame 100, a container storage 200, a receiving mechanism 300, a clamping and moving mechanism 400, and a dispatching mechanism 500. The container storage 200 is mounted on the main frame 100 and includes a storage compartment 210 and a dispatching compartment 220. The receiving mechanism 300 is mounted on the main frame 100 and is used to transfer turnover boxes 600 to the storage compartment 210. The clamping and moving mechanism 400 is mounted on the main frame 100 and is used to transfer the turnover boxes 600 in the storage compartment 210 to the dispatching compartment 220. The dispatching mechanism 500 is mounted on the main frame 100 and is used to transfer the turnover boxes 600 transferred by the clamping and moving mechanism 400 to the dispatching station.
[0035] In this embodiment, the main frame 100 serves as the main support frame for the receiving and dispatching device 10. The container storage 200 is built on the main frame 100 and is used for the storage and transfer of idle turnover boxes 600. Based on the different functions of the container storage 200, it is divided into two parts: a storage container 210 and a dispatch container 220. The storage container 210 and the dispatch container 220 can be arranged adjacent to each other. The storage container 210 can be used to temporarily store excess idle turnover boxes 600. The turnover boxes 600 are transferred sequentially from bottom to top into the storage container 210 by the receiving mechanism 300. When the storage container 210 is full of turnover boxes 600, the turnover boxes 600 can be transferred to the dispatch container 220 by the clamping and moving mechanism 400. Then, the dispatch container 500 transfers the turnover boxes 600 transferred by the clamping and moving mechanism 400 to the dispatch station, where the turnover boxes 600 await dispatch. It is understandable that the storage warehouse 210 and the dispatch warehouse 220 can serve as transit stations for the temporary storage of the turnover boxes 600.
[0036] Furthermore, the main frame 100 is also provided with a first turnover station 110; the box receiving mechanism 300 includes: a first transport component 310 and a first lifting component 320. The first transport component 310 is used to transfer the turnover box 600 from the first turnover station 110 to the first lifting component 320, and the first lifting component 320 is used to lift the turnover box 600 into the storage warehouse 210 for storage.
[0037] In this embodiment, the turnover box 600 can be transferred from the previous workstation to the first turnover workstation 110. For example, the previous workstation can be the conveyor belt of the warehousing production line. After the turnover box 600 arrives at the first turnover workstation 110, the first transport component 310 transfers the turnover box 600 located at the first turnover workstation 110 to the location of the first lifting component 320. The first lifting component 320 is then controlled to lift the turnover box 600 upwards into the storage bin 210 for storage.
[0038] To improve the transfer efficiency of the turnover box 600, in some embodiments, the first transport component 310 includes: a first clamping unit 311 and a first transfer unit 312; the first clamping unit 311 is disposed on the first transfer unit 312; the first clamping unit 311 is used to clamp the turnover box 600, and the first transfer unit 312 is used to drive the first clamping unit 311 together with the turnover box 600 to move onto the first lifting component 320.
[0039] In some embodiments, the first clamping unit 311 may include a first motor and a first pressing plate disposed symmetrically on both sides of the first turnover station 110. The first motor, in conjunction with a lead screw, drives the extension and retraction of the first pressing plate to clamp and release the two ends of the turnover box 600. Therefore, the first clamping unit 311 can adjust the distance between the two first pressing plates according to the size (width or length) of the turnover box 600, thereby achieving clamping of turnover boxes 600 of different sizes.
[0040] The first transfer unit 312 may include a first lead screw motor symmetrically arranged on the main frame 100, a first slide rail arranged on the main frame 100, and a first slider slidably arranged on the first slide rail. One end of the first motor may be fixed to the first slider, the first slider may be connected to the first lead screw motor, and the bottom of the first slider may move along the first slide rail.
[0041] When the first motor, in conjunction with the lead screw, drives the first clamping plate to extend and clamp the turnover box 600 located on the first turnover station 110, the first lead screw motor is started. The lead screw motor drives the first slider to slide on the lead screw, thereby causing the first clamping unit 311 to clamp the turnover box 600 and slide it on the first slide rail, moving it to the position of the first lifting assembly 320. By controlling the forward or reverse rotation of the first lead screw motor, the position of the turnover box 600 can be switched between the position of the first lifting assembly 320 and the first turnover station 110.
[0042] In order to improve the moving efficiency of the turnover box 600 on the first turnover station 110, in some embodiments, multiple roller structures can be set on the first turnover station 110. The roller structure includes a drive motor and multiple rollers connected in sequence by a conveyor belt. When the first transfer unit 312 drives the turnover box 600 to move from the first turnover station 110 to the first lifting component 320, the moving speed of the turnover box 600 can be improved by setting the roller structure.
[0043] Furthermore, an RFID module can be installed on the first turnover station 110. The RFID module can be positioned between the rollers and can identify the label information affixed to the outer wall of the turnover box 600. The RFID module can obtain the basic information of the turnover box 600 in real time.
[0044] Furthermore, the first lifting assembly 320 is located below the storage box 210. The first lifting assembly 320 includes a first lifting drive 321 and a first support plate 322. The first lifting drive 321 is connected to the first support plate 322, and the first support plate 322 is used to support the turnover box 600.
[0045] As an example, the first lifting drive 321 can be a motor, with the output end of the motor connected to the first support plate 322. When the first lead screw motor is started, the first lead screw motor drives the first slider to slide on the lead screw, thereby clamping the turnover box 600 with the first clamping unit 311 and sliding it on the first slide rail to move it to the first support plate 322 of the first lifting assembly 320. At this time, the first lifting drive 321 is started and drives the first support plate 322 to lift the turnover box 600 up until the turnover box 600 rises to the top of the storage box 210.
[0046] To further prevent the turnover box 600 from falling from the storage box 210 after the first lifting drive component 321 is reset, in some embodiments, a limiting component 700 is provided on the storage box 210 to limit the turnover box 600 from falling.
[0047] In some embodiments, the limiting component 700 can be spring plates symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the storage bin 210. When the first lifting component 320 drives the turnover box 600 to rise to the top of the storage bin 210, and the turnover box 600 rises to its bottom and contacts the spring plates, the automatic reset of the unidirectionally rotating spring plates can limit the turnover box 600 within the storage bin 210. The specific structure of the spring plates can be referred to in the prior art three-position limiting mechanism of springs, and will not be described in detail here.
[0048] In some embodiments, the number of limiting components 700 can be determined based on the number of turnover boxes 600 that can be stored in the storage box library 210.
[0049] In some embodiments, a photoelectric detection element may be installed in the storage box 210 to detect the storage status of the turnover boxes 600 in the storage box 210, thereby determining whether the turnover boxes 600 in the storage box 210 are full.
[0050] Furthermore, the clamping and moving mechanism 400 includes: a drive assembly 410, a transmission pulley 420, a first clamping support unit 430, and a second clamping support unit 440; the first clamping support unit 430 and the second clamping support unit 440 are both disposed on the transmission pulley 420, and the drive assembly 410 is used to drive the transmission pulley 420 to rotate, so as to simultaneously drive the first clamping support unit 430 and the second clamping support unit 440 to move towards each other, or in opposite directions.
[0051] Furthermore, the first clamping support unit 430 includes: a first clamping drive 431, a first mounting plate 432, and a first clamping plate 433; the first clamping drive 431 is disposed on the first mounting plate 432, the first mounting plate 432 is disposed on the transmission pulley 420, and the output end of the first clamping drive 431 is connected to the first clamping plate 433.
[0052] The second clamping support unit 440 includes: a second clamping drive member 441, a second mounting plate 442, and a second clamping plate 443; the second clamping drive member 441 is disposed on the second mounting plate 442, the second mounting plate 442 is disposed on the transmission pulley 420, and the output end of the second clamping drive member 441 is connected to the second clamping plate 443.
[0053] In the above embodiments, the drive assembly 410 can be a motor, and the transmission pulley 420 can include a driving pulley, a driven pulley, and a conveyor belt. The drive assembly 410 drives the driving pulley to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the driven pulley to rotate clockwise via the conveyor belt, thereby causing the first mounting plate 432 and the second mounting plate 442 located on the conveyor belt to move in opposite directions. Similarly, when the drive assembly 410 drives the driving pulley to rotate counterclockwise, the conveyor belt drives the driven pulley to rotate counterclockwise, thereby causing the first mounting plate 432 and the second mounting plate 442 located on the conveyor belt to move in opposite directions.
[0054] The first clamping drive unit 431 can be a motor symmetrically arranged on the main frame 100. It is mounted on the first mounting plate 432 and moves with the first mounting plate 432. The first clamping drive unit 431 drives the first clamping plate 433 to clamp the turnover boxes 600 in the storage box 210. The second clamping drive unit 441 can be a motor symmetrically arranged on the main frame 100. It is mounted on the second mounting plate 442 and moves with the second mounting plate 442. The second clamping drive unit 441 drives the second clamping plate 443 to clamp the turnover boxes 600 in the dispatch box 220. Through the cooperation of the drive assembly 410 and the transmission pulley 420, the positions of the first clamping support unit 430 and the second clamping support unit 440 are switched between the storage box 210 and the dispatch box 220.
[0055] Furthermore, a detection element is also provided on the main frame 100. The detection element can be used to detect the position of the first clamping support unit 430 and the second clamping support unit 440 between the storage box 210 and the dispatch box 220. As an example, the detection element can be a sensor, photoelectric detection element, etc.
[0056] Furthermore, the main frame 100 is also provided with a second turnover station 120; the box dispatching mechanism 500 includes: a second transport component 510 and a second lifting component 520. The second lifting component 520 is used to lift the turnover box 600 transferred by the clamping moving mechanism 400 to the box dispatching warehouse 220 and store it in the box dispatching warehouse 220; the second transport component 510 is used to transfer the turnover box 600 in the box dispatching warehouse 220 from the second lifting component 520 to the second turnover station 120.
[0057] In this embodiment, the turnover box 600 is transferred from the storage box 210 to the dispatch box 220 by the clamping and moving mechanism 400, and then the turnover box 600 is lifted upward into the dispatch box 220 for storage by the second lifting component 520.
[0058] To improve the transfer efficiency of the turnover box 600, in some embodiments, the second transport component 510 includes: a second clamping unit 511 and a second transfer unit 512; the second clamping unit 511 is disposed on the second transfer unit 512; the second clamping unit 511 is used to clamp the turnover box 600, and the second transfer unit 512 is used to drive the second clamping unit 511 together with the turnover box 600 to move to the second turnover station 120.
[0059] In some embodiments, the structure of the second clamping unit 511 may be the same as that of the first clamping unit 311. Specifically, the second clamping unit 511 may include a second motor and a second pressure plate disposed symmetrically on both sides of the second turnover station 120. The second motor, in conjunction with a lead screw, drives the extension and retraction of the second pressure plate to clamp and release the two ends of the turnover box 600. Therefore, the second clamping unit 511 can adjust the distance between the two second pressure plates according to the size (width or length) of the turnover box 600, thereby achieving clamping of turnover boxes 600 of different sizes.
[0060] The structure of the second transfer unit 512 can be the same as that of the first transfer unit 312. Specifically, the second transfer unit 512 may include a second lead screw motor symmetrically arranged on the main frame 100, a second slide rail arranged on the main frame 100, and a second slider slidably arranged on the second slide rail. One end of the second motor can be fixed to the second slider, the second slider can be connected to the second lead screw motor, and the bottom of the second slider can move along the second slide rail.
[0061] When the second motor, in conjunction with the lead screw, drives the second clamping plate to extend, clamping the turnover box 600 located at the storage bin 210 and above the second lifting assembly 520, the second lead screw motor is activated. This motor drives the second slider to slide along the lead screw, thereby causing the second clamping unit 511 to hold the turnover box 600 and slide it along the second slide rail, moving it to the location of the second turnover station 120. In this embodiment, by controlling the forward or reverse rotation of the second lead screw motor, the position of the turnover box 600 between the location of the second lifting assembly 520 and the second turnover station 120 can be switched.
[0062] Furthermore, the second lifting assembly 520 is located below the distribution box 220. The second lifting assembly 520 includes a second lifting drive 521 and a second support plate 522. The second lifting drive 521 is connected to the second support plate 522, and the second support plate 522 is used to support the turnover box 600.
[0063] As an example, the second lifting drive 521 can be a motor, with the output end of the motor connected to the second support plate 522. When the first clamping support unit 430 clamps the turnover box 600 located in the storage box 210, the drive assembly 410 drives the transmission pulley 420 to rotate clockwise, thereby causing the first clamping support unit 430 and the second clamping support unit 440 to move towards each other respectively. The first clamping support unit 430 moves to the second support plate 522 of the second lifting assembly 520 located in the distribution box 220. At this time, the second lifting drive 521 is activated and drives the second support plate 522 to lift the turnover box 600 up until the turnover box 600 rises to the top of the distribution box 220.
[0064] To prevent the turnover box 600 from falling out of the dispensing bin 220 after the second lifting drive component 521 resets, in some embodiments, a limiting component 700 is provided on the dispensing bin 220 to restrict the turnover box 600 from falling. The specific structure of the limiting component 700 has been described above and will not be repeated here.
[0065] Similarly, photoelectric detection elements can be installed in the shipping box warehouse 220 to detect the storage status of the turnover boxes 600 in the shipping box warehouse 220, thereby determining whether the turnover boxes 600 in the shipping box warehouse 220 are full.
[0066] The transceiver device 10 of this application operates as follows:
[0067] The first empty turnover box 600 is transferred from the previous station to the first turnover station 110. The radio frequency identification module located at the first turnover station 110 reads the label information affixed to the outer wall of the turnover box 600, thereby obtaining the basic information of each turnover box 600.
[0068] After the RFID module completes identification, the receiving mechanism 300 starts working, and the first clamping unit 311 opens to clamp the turnover box 600. While the first clamping unit 311 clamps the turnover box 600, the first lead screw motor of the first transfer unit 312 starts to rotate forward. The first lead screw motor drives the first slider to slide on the lead screw, thereby carrying the turnover box 600 clamped by the first clamping unit 311 to slide on the first slide rail towards the storage bin 210. When it moves to the first support plate 322 of the first lifting assembly 320, the first lifting drive 321 starts and drives the first support plate 322 to lift the turnover box 600 upward. When the first lifting component 320 drives the turnover box 600 to rise to the top of the storage box 210, and the turnover box 600 rises to its bottom and contacts the spring plate, the automatic reset of the unidirectional rotating spring plate can restrict the turnover box 600 within the storage box 210, thus completing the transfer of the first turnover box 600 to the storage box 210.
[0069] The receiving mechanism 300 resets to the first turnover station 110. The second empty turnover box 600 is transferred from the previous station to the first turnover station 110. The RFID module at the first turnover station 110 continues to read the label information affixed to the outer wall of the second turnover box 600. After identification is completed, the receiving mechanism 300 continues to work, and the first clamping unit 311 opens to clamp the second turnover box 600. While the first clamping unit 311 clamps the second turnover box 600, the first lead screw motor of the first transfer unit 312 starts to rotate forward. The first lead screw motor drives the first slider to slide on the lead screw, thereby carrying the first clamping unit 311 to clamp the second turnover box 600 and slide it on the first slide rail towards the storage bin 210. When it moves to the first support plate 322 of the first lifting assembly 320, the first lifting drive 321 starts and drives the first support plate 322 to lift the turnover box 600. When the first lifting component 320 drives the second turnover box 600 to rise to the bottom of the first turnover box 600, it is restricted by the limiting component 700 to fall directly below the first turnover box 600.
[0070] Following the same method described above, multiple turnover boxes 600 are stored sequentially in the storage bin 210. The storage status of the turnover boxes 600 in the storage bin 210 is detected by photoelectric detection elements to determine whether the storage bin 210 is full.
[0071] When the photoelectric detection unit detects that the turnover boxes 600 in the storage box 210 are full, the clamping and moving mechanism 400 starts working. The first clamping drive unit 431 drives the first clamping plate 433 to clamp the turnover box 600 located at the bottom in the storage box 210. At this time, the first lifting component 320 descends and resets, and the drive component 410 drives the transmission pulley 420 to rotate clockwise. The drive component 410 drives the main pulley to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the driven pulley to rotate clockwise through the conveyor belt. This causes the first mounting plate 432 and the second mounting plate 442 located on the conveyor belt to move towards each other (i.e., the first mounting plate 432 moves towards the direction of the box storage 220, and the second mounting plate 442 moves towards the direction of the box storage 210). The movement of the first mounting plate 432 causes the first clamping drive component 431 and the first clamping plate 433 to clamp the turnover box 600 and move it towards the direction of the box storage 220. The detection component set on the main frame 100 detects whether the first clamping support unit 430 has transferred the turnover box 600 to the position of the second lifting component 520 below the box storage 220.
[0072] After the turnover box 600 is transferred by the clamping and moving mechanism 400 to the position of the second lifting assembly 520 below the distribution box 220, the first clamping drive member 431 drives the first clamping plate 433 to release, and the turnover box 600 is released from the clamping of the first clamping plate 433. At this time, the turnover box 600 is placed at the second support plate 522 of the second lifting assembly 520. The second lifting drive member 521 is activated and drives the second support plate 522 to lift the turnover box 600 up until the turnover box 600 rises to the top of the distribution box 220, and the turnover box 600 is limited by the limiting assembly 700.
[0073] As previously described, the first clamping support unit 430 moves to the position of the second lifting assembly 520 below the shipping box 220. At this time, the second clamping support unit 440 moves to the position of the first lifting assembly 320 below the storage box 210. Using the same method described above, the second clamping drive unit 441 drives the second clamping plate 443 to clamp the second-to-last turnover box 600 located in the storage box 210. At this time, the drive assembly 410 drives the transmission pulley 420 to rotate counterclockwise. The drive assembly 410 drives the main pulley to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the driven pulley to rotate counterclockwise through the conveyor belt. This causes the first mounting plate 432 and the second mounting plate 442 located on the conveyor belt to move in opposite directions (i.e., the first mounting plate 432 moves towards the storage box 210, and the second mounting plate 442 moves towards the dispatch box 220). The movement of the second mounting plate 442 causes the second clamping drive member 441 and the second clamping plate 443 to clamp the turnover box 600 and move it towards the dispatch box 220. The detection member set on the main frame 100 detects whether the second clamping support unit 440 has transferred the turnover box 600 to the position of the second lifting assembly 520 below the dispatch box 220.
[0074] Similarly, after the turnover box 600 is transferred by the clamping and moving mechanism 400 to the position of the second lifting assembly 520 below the distribution box 220, the second clamping drive 441 drives the second clamping plate 443 to release, and the turnover box 600 is released from the clamping of the second clamping plate 443. At this time, the turnover box 600 is placed at the second support plate 522 of the second lifting assembly 520. The second lifting drive 521 is activated and drives the second support plate 522 to lift the turnover box 600 up until the turnover box 600 rises to the bottom of the first turnover box 600, and the turnover box 600 is limited by the limiting assembly 700.
[0075] In the same manner, multiple turnover boxes 600 are transferred sequentially from the storage warehouse 210 to the dispatch warehouse 220. The storage status of the turnover boxes 600 in the dispatch warehouse 220 is detected by photoelectric detection elements to determine whether the dispatch warehouse 220 is full.
[0076] When the photoelectric detection unit detects that the turnover boxes 600 in the storage box 210 are full, the dispensing mechanism 500 starts working. The turnover box 600 located at the bottom of the dispensing box 220 detaches from the dispensing box 220 and stops on the second support plate 522 of the second lifting assembly 520. At this time, the second clamping unit 511 opens to clamp the turnover box 600. While the second clamping unit 511 clamps the turnover box 600, the second lead screw motor of the second transfer unit 512 starts to reverse, and the second lead screw motor drives the second slider to slide on the lead screw, thereby carrying the second clamping unit 511 clamping the turnover box 600 on the second slider towards the location of the second turnover station 120. After the second clamping unit 511 clamps the turnover box 600 to the location of the second turnover station 120, it waits to be transported to the next station.
[0077] The dispensing mechanism 500 resets to the position of the second lifting assembly 520, and the second turnover box 600 in the dispensing magazine 220 disengages from the magazine 220 and stops on the second support plate 522 of the second lifting assembly 520. At this time, the dispensing mechanism 500 continues to work, and the second clamping unit 511 opens to clamp the second turnover box 600. While the second clamping unit 511 is clamping the second turnover box 600, the second lead screw motor of the second transfer unit 512 starts to reverse, and the second lead screw motor drives the second slider to slide on the lead screw, thereby carrying the second clamping unit 511 clamping the second turnover box 600 on the second slider towards the second turnover station 120. After the second clamping unit 511 clamps the second turnover box 600 and moves it to the position of the second turnover station 120, it waits to be transported to the next station.
[0078] Following the same method described above, multiple turnover boxes 600 are transferred sequentially from the box dispatch warehouse 220 to the second turnover station 120.
[0079] In summary, the receiving and dispatching equipment 10 of this application can complete the transfer, storage, empty box recycling and automatic distribution of a large number of turnover boxes 600, which improves the transfer efficiency of empty boxes and saves storage space.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 6 This application also provides an automated transceiver system 1, including a transceiver device 10, and may further include a server 20 and a robot 30. In some embodiments, the transceiver device 10 may include a first communication module 800; the server 20 may include a second communication module 201; and the robot 30 may include a third communication module 301. The first communication module 800 is connected to the second communication module 201 and is used to submit task information, which may include sending empty boxes and collecting empty boxes. The second communication module 201 is connected to the third communication module 301 and is used to obtain task information.
[0081] The automated receiving and dispatching system 1 of this application not only includes the aforementioned receiving and dispatching device 10, but also has a robot 30 docking interface, which can be further equipped with a server 20 and a robot 30 to adapt to robot 30 transportation scenarios, especially providing strong support for empty box recycling and temporary storage operations. The receiving and dispatching device 10 is connected to the second communication module 201 of the server 20 through the first communication module 800 to submit task information (such as sending empty boxes, recycling empty boxes, etc.); the server 20 and the robot 30 are connected through the second communication module 201 and the third communication module 301, enabling the robot 30 to obtain task information and participate in operations such as handling the turnover boxes 600. The robot 30 docking physical interface is connected to the robot 30 to achieve automatic reception and dispatch of empty turnover boxes 600. This further enhances the automation level and collaborative work capability of the entire system. Through the close cooperation of various components, this utility model realizes the full-process automation of turnover box 600 management, providing strong support for the efficient operation of industries such as logistics and manufacturing.
[0082] The aforementioned automatic receiving and dispatching system 1 further includes: the high-definition intelligent camera, which is respectively installed at the entrance of the storage box 210 and the exit of the dispatch box 220, for capturing image information of the turnover box 600 in real time.
[0083] High-definition smart cameras are installed at the entry and exit points of the receiving and dispatching equipment 10 (such as the first turnover station 110, the entrance of the storage box 210, the exit of the dispatching box 220, etc.) to collect image information of the turnover boxes 600, so that the images can be quickly processed and analyzed by advanced visual recognition algorithm software.
[0084] For example, based on the image information of the turnover box 600, the system can identify the turnover box 600, accurately determining its model, size, color, and other characteristics. It can also determine if any items remain (to prevent damage), automatically adjusting relevant equipment parameters (such as the spacing of clamping units and lifting height) for more precise operation and improved compatibility with different types of turnover boxes 600. Furthermore, it can detect damage or deformation of the turnover box 600, promptly identifying problematic boxes to prevent safety hazards or impacts on cargo storage during transportation. Identifying the items inside the turnover box 600 enables categorized management. For instance, in a logistics center, the turnover box 600 can be automatically allocated to different storage areas or conveyor lines based on the type of goods, improving the efficiency of subsequent sorting and distribution and reducing the workload of manual secondary sorting.
[0085] The innovative receiving and dispatching device 10 and automatic receiving and dispatching system 1 proposed in the above embodiments of this application aim to achieve efficient transfer, storage, and empty box recycling of the turnover box 600 through automation technology, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of hospital material management. This system can also achieve precise tracking and management of medical consumables by integrating advanced automatic identification, intelligent scheduling, and machine learning technologies, reducing human error, optimizing the material flow process, and ultimately improving the quality of medical services and reducing operating costs.
