Description

How to sell from locker type vending machines

technical field

The present invention relates to a vending method of a locker structure, in particular to a vending method of a locker type automatic vending machine.

Background technique

At present, the vending machines in the existing market have the advantages of small space occupation and no need for manual vending. However, due to the limitation of mechanical automation, most of them can only provide vending products that are the size of a palm. Items that exceed the limit size or irregular items cannot be placed. It is sold in the machine and must be replenished by professionals, and it is not possible for anyone to rent a space to sell personal items. It lacks the flexibility of the owner, and the mechanical device is complicated and costly. Although the existing lattice store can provide Anyone rents it, but can only trade with consumers in a few specific grid stores, and the grid stores still need to bear the pressure of manpower management and the ratio of success in the store to attract investment to balance the store rent, which does not meet the market demand, let alone have The ability to change business types obviously has the problems of lack of automation and excessive cost pressure from owners. In addition, in view of the shopping habits formed by the online auction market and online shopping, the performance of the home delivery industry has been booming. Since most consumers are unable to receive packages at home during working hours, about 40% of the goods cannot be delivered to consumers smoothly. Some consumers will use designated convenience stores for collection service, and then pick up the goods at the supermarket when they are free. Although it can improve the situation of not being able to receive the goods in person, there is still the problem of requiring manual collection. The resulting labor costs will naturally be passed on to consumers, and there is also a need for improvement. Currently, the screens of smartphones and their 3C products are getting bigger and bigger, and their functions are getting more and more complex, resulting in extremely low battery life, which may require charging at any time, and the charging stations in the market use key-type or open-type charging stations. Although the key type can be locked and recharged to allow consumers to leave temporarily, the key is easily copied by interested people. The high risk of theft prevents consumers from leaving easily, and although the open type will not be stolen However, consumers have to stand and wait for the charging to complete. The charging process is not only time-consuming, but also very tiring. As a result, consumers will not consider using charging stations unless they are forced to, making charging stations unfavorable for market promotion. The above-mentioned deficiency is the technical problem that the inventor wants to integrate and improve.
