实施例1
图1为本申请实施例提供的自动售货机100的结构示意图。请参阅图1,在本实施例中,自动售货机100包括机柜101、储货装置103、货斗105以及动力装置109。
机柜101包括柜体1013与柜门1011。柜门1011与柜体1013转动连接。柜门1011上开设有取货口1015。柜门1011的材料可以由透明材料制成,以便于展示柜体1013内的商品。柜门1011上可以设置人机交互装置,例如键盘、触摸显示屏以及pad等。通过人机交互装置用户可进行商品种类与数量的选择。
储货装置103设置在柜体1013内,并与柜门1011相对设置。储货装置103包括多个用于存储商品的货道107,货道107的长度方向沿前后方向延伸。货道107的前端为货道出口1071,货道出口1071正对柜门1011。
图2为本申请实施例提供的自动售货机100中的货道107的结构示意图。参阅图1与图2,货道107内设置有推动件1073以及驱动组件1075,驱动组件1075与推动件1073传动连接以驱动推动件1073在货道107内沿前后方向移动。驱动组件1075包括齿条1077、齿轮1079和电机1078。齿条1077固定设置在货道107上,齿条1077的长度方向沿前后方向延伸。齿条1077的长度与货道107的长度相适配。齿轮1079与齿条1077啮合。电机1078固定在推动件1073上。电机1078与齿轮1079传动连接,以驱动齿轮1079转动。当电机1078的输出轴转动时,齿轮1079绕自身轴线转动,相对于齿条1077滚动,进而驱动推动件1073沿前后方向移动。需要说明的是,在本申请的其他实施例中,驱动组件1075还可以为丝杠螺母驱动组件、气压缸驱动组件或液压缸驱动组件等结构。
请再次参阅图1,货斗105设置在柜体1013内,并位于柜门1011与储货装置103之间。货道107的前端具备货道出口1071,后端具备入口(图未示出)。动力装置109设置在柜体1013内,并位于柜门1011与储货装置103之间。动力装置109与货斗105传动连接,以驱动货斗105沿上下方向和/或左右方向移动,以使货斗105的入口与任意一个货道107的货道出口1071相对,或使货斗105的出口与取货口1015相对。当货斗105的入口与任意一个货道107的货道出口1071相对时,该货道107中的商品能够被送入货斗105;当货斗105的出口与取货口1015相对,用户能够取走货斗105内的商品。
自动售货机100还包括控制装置,图3为本申请实施例提供的控制装置108的原理框图。控制装置108设置于柜体1013内,控制装置108与人机交互装置、驱动组件1075以及动力装置109均电连接。参阅图3,控制装置108包括接收模块111、获取模块113、策略制定模块115以及执行模块117。接收模块111设置为接收购买商品的购买命令;获取模块113设置为根据购买命令获取需购买商品的种类和每种需购买商品的数量;策略制定模块115设置为根据需购买商品的种类和每种需购买商品的数量,制定出货策略;执行模块117,设置为根据出货策略控制自动售货机100的货斗105送出需购买商品。
本申请的实施例提供的自动售货机100的控制装置108可以根据购买商品的种类以及购买商品的数量制定不同的出货策略,出货策略可针对性选择一次性出货与分批次出货,因此,可以节约出货时间,提高出货效率,继而改善自动售货机100的工作效率。
当用户通过人机交互装置将包括购买商品的种类以及数量的购买命令输入后,接收模块111接收购买商品的购买命令,获取模块113从购买命令中获取需购买商品的种类和需购买商品的数量,策略制定模块115根据需购买商品的种类和需购买商品的数量制定出对应的出货策略。根据此出货策略,动力装置109驱动货斗105向目标货道107方向移动,当货斗105到达目标货道107后,动力装置109停止动力输出。接着,驱动组件1075驱动推动件1073向前移动,将需购买的商品推入货斗105内。然后,动力装置109重新动力输出,驱动货斗105往取货口1015方向移动,到达取货口1015后,货斗105将需购买的商品送出。
图4为本申请实施例提供的第一种策略制定模块115的示意图。参阅图4,策略制定模块115包括第一空间信息获取模块119、第二空间信息获取模块121 以及出货策略制定模块123。第一空间信息获取模块119设置为获取货斗的第一空间几何信息。第二空间信息获取模块121设置为根据需购买商品的种类获取每种需购买商品的第二空间几何信息。出货策略制定模块123设置为根据第一空间几何信息、每种需购买商品的第二空间几何信息以及每种需购买商品的数量制定出货策略。

图6为本申请实施例提供的第二策略模块129的原理框图。参阅图6,第二策略模块129包括数量确定模块131以及次数确定模块133。次数确定模块133设置为确定货斗的最小运送次数。数量确定模块131设置为确定货斗每次运送需购买商品时所运送的需购买商品的种类和每种需购买商品的数量。
本实施例中,次数确定模块133和数量确定模块131根据第一空间几何信息、每种需购买商品的第二空间几何信息以及每种需购买商品的重量信息,确定货斗105的最小运送次数,以及货斗105每次运送需购买商品时所运送的需购买商品的种类和每种需购买商品的数量。
在一实施例中,例如用户需要一次购买两种商品,分别为第一商品与第二商品,第一商品的数量为a,第二商品的数量为b。每个第一商品的体积为A,每个第二商品的体积为B。用户输入购买命令,接收模块111接收到此购买命令后,通过第一空间信息获取模块119获取货斗105的第一空间几何信息,通过第二空间信息获取模块121获取每种需购买商品的第二空间几何信息。第一空间几何信息为货斗105的体积V,第二空间几何信息为每种需购买商品的体积,即第一商品的体积A和第二商品的体积B。判断模块125根据货斗105的体积V、第一商品的体积A和第二商品的体积B,判断货斗105是否能完全运送a个第一商品以及b个第二商品,如果判断结果为可以完全运送,则出货策略制定为控制货斗105为一次性出货。即在策略制定模块115制定出对应的出货策略后,动力装置109驱动货斗105向运送第一商品的货道107方向移动,在货 斗105到达运送第一商品的货道107后,动力装置109停止动力输出。接着,驱动组件1075驱动推动件1073向前移动,将需购买的a个第一商品推入货斗105内。然后,动力装置109重新动力输出,驱动货斗105向运送第二商品的货道107方向移动,在货斗105到达运送第二商品的货道107后,驱动组件1075驱动推动件1073向前移动,将需购买的b个第二商品推入货斗105内。在货斗105取完需购买商品后,在动力装置109的驱动下往取货口1015方向移动,到达取货口1015后,货斗105将需购买的所有商品一次性送出。
在另一实施例中,当判断模块125根据货斗105的体积V、第一商品的体积A和第二商品的体积B,判断货斗105是否能完全运送a个第一商品以及b个第二商品时,如果判断结果为不可以完全运送,则出货策略制定为控制货斗105多次出货。此时如果通过次数确定模块133根据货斗105的体积V、每个第一商品的体积为A以及每个第二商品的体积为B,确定最小运送次数为两次,且,通过数量确定模块131确定货斗105每次能运送a/2个第一商品以及b/2个第二商品,则出货策略可以制定为控制货斗105分两次运货,每次运送a/2个第一商品以及b/2个第二商品。即在策略制定模块115制定出对应的出货策略后,动力装置109驱动货斗105向运送第一商品的货道107方向移动以接收a/2个第一商品,以及驱动货斗105向运送第二商品的货道107方向移动以接收b/2个第二商品,货斗105装满商品后,在动力装置109的驱动下往取货口1015方向移动,到达取货口1015后,货斗105将需购买的所有第一部分商品(a/2个第一商品以及b/2个第二商品)一次性送出。然后货斗105继续在动力装置109的驱动下进行第二部分商品(剩余的a/2个第一商品以及b/2个第二商品)的运出。当然,在本申请的其他实施例中,在制定出货策略时,可以根据不同种类的商品的体积与数量进行调整,本申请不做限定。在本申请的其他实施例中,用户购买的商品种类并不仅限于两种,可以为单种或者多种。控制装置108的第一空间信息获取模块119所获取的第一空间几何信息可以为货斗105的三维空间轮廓尺寸。货斗105的三维空间轮廓尺寸包括货斗105的三维轮廓形状以及尺寸。控制装置108的第二空间信息获取模块121所获取的第二空间几何信息可以为需购买商品的三维空间轮廓尺寸。需购买商品的三维空间轮廓尺寸包括需购买商品的三维轮廓形状以及尺寸。通过货斗105的三维空间轮廓尺寸以及需购买商品的三维空间轮廓尺寸,能够更加精确的计算运送空间能够运送的商品的数量,适用于外形不规则的商品。
买施例2
由于商品在货斗105内的摆放并不是规则堆叠放置。因此,本实施例提供了一种自动售货机100,与实施例1提供的自动售货机100的区别在于,本实施例中,控制装置108的第一空间信息获取模块119所获取的第一空间几何信息为货斗的承载面的面积。控制装置108的第二空间信息获取模块121所获取的第二空间几何信息为商品的底面的面积。

在另一实施例中,当判断模块125根据货斗105的承载面的面积S、第一商品的底面的面积X和第二商品的底面的面积Y,判断货斗105是否能完全运送a个第一商品以及b个第二商品时,如果判断结果不可以完全运送,则出货策略制定为控制货斗105多次出货。此时如果通过次数确定模块133根据货斗105的承载面的面积S、第一商品的底面的面积X以及第二商品的底面的面积Y,确定最小运送次数为两次,且,通过数量确定模块131确定运送空间每次可以运送a/2个第一商品以及b/2个第二商品,则出货策略可以制定为控制货斗105分两次运货,每次运送a/2个第一商品以及b/2个第二商品。即在策略制定模块115制定出对应的出货策略后,动力装置109驱动货斗105向运送第一商品的货道107方向移动以接收a/2个第一商品,以及驱动货斗105向运送第二商品的货道107方向移动以接收b/2个第二商品,货斗105装满承载面的面积为S的商品 后,在动力装置109的驱动下往取货口1015方向移动,到达取货口1015后,货斗105将需购买的所有第一部分商品(a/2个第一商品以及b/2个第二商品)一次性送出。然后货斗105继续在动力装置109的驱动下进行第二部分商品(剩余a/2个第一商品以及b/2个第二商品)的运出。
在本申请的其他实施例中,控制装置108的第一空间信息获取模块119所获取的第一空间几何信息可以为货斗105的承载面的轮廓尺寸。货斗105的承载面的轮廓尺寸包括货斗105的承载面的轮廓形状以及货斗105的承载面的尺寸。控制装置108的第二空间信息获取模块121所获取的第二空间几何信息可以为需购买商品的底面的轮廓尺寸。需购买商品的底面的轮廓尺寸包括需购买商品的底面的轮廓形状以及需购买商品的底面的尺寸。通过货斗105的承载面的轮廓尺寸和需购买商品的底面的轮廓尺寸,能够更加精确的计算运送空间能够运送的商品的数量,适用于外形不规则的商品。

在一实施例中,次数确定模块133和数量确定模块131根据第一空间几何信息和货斗105的标准载重量信息,每种需购买商品的第二空间几何信息和每种需购买商品的重量信息以及每种需购买商品的数量,确定货斗105的最小运送次数,以及货斗105每次运送需购买商品时所运送的需购买商品的种类和每种需购买商品的数量。
例如用户需要一次购买两种商品,分别为第一商品与第二商品,第一商品的数量为a,第二商品的数量为b。每个第一商品的体积为A,每个第二商品的体积为B,每个第一商品的重量为g1,每个第二商品的重量为g2。用户输入购买命令后,接收模块111接收到此购买命令后,通过第一信息获取模块139获取货斗105的体积为V以及货斗105的标准载重量信息为G,通过第二信息获取模块141获取每个第一商品的体积为A,每个第二商品的体积为B,每个第一 商品的重量为g1,每个第二商品的重量为g2。判断模块125根据货斗105的体积V、标准载重量信息G、第一商品的体积A、第二商品的体积B、第一商品的重量g1以及第二商品的重量g2,判断货斗105是否能完全运送a个第一商品以及b个第二商品,如果判断结果为可以完全运送,则出货策略制定为控制货斗105一次性出货。
在另一实施例中,当判断模块125判断标准载重量信息G是否能完全运送a个第一商品以及b个第二商品时,如果判断结果为不可以完全运送,则出货策略制定为控制货斗105多次出货。此时如果通过次数确定模块133确定最小运送次数为分两次运货,且,通过数量确定模块131确定货斗105每次能运送a/2个第一商品以及b/2个第二商品,则出货策略可以确定为控制货斗105分两次运货,每次运送a/2个第一商品以及b/2个第二商品。在一实施例中,第一空间几何信息还可以为货斗105的三维空间轮廓尺寸、货斗105的承载面的面积或货斗的承载面的轮廓尺寸。第二空间几何信息还可以为需购买商品的三维空间轮廓尺寸、需购买商品的底面的面积、或需购买商品的底面的轮廓尺寸,本申请不做限定。
