Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the cargo allocation system may include: a goods shelf 1 and a distribution mechanism 2. Be provided with a plurality of storage goods check 11 on goods shelves 1, each other not intercommunication between a plurality of storage goods check 11, be provided with on every storage goods check 11 and get the goods mouth and put the goods mouth, it is located the first side of goods shelves 1 to get the goods mouth, every storage goods check 11 are used for through putting a set of goods mouth storage, the first side of goods shelves 1 is provided with the prompt module, the storage has the goods information that corresponds with every storage goods check 11 in the prompt module, the prompt module can be based on the goods information suggestion that acquires and get a set of goods in the storage goods check 11 that the person of getting the goods took and goods information corresponds. The goods distribution mechanism 2 and the goods placing openings are located on the second side of the goods shelf, and the goods distribution mechanism 2 can place a plurality of groups of goods in the corresponding goods storage grids 11 through the goods placing openings respectively.

It is thus clear that in this application embodiment, the mechanism of joining in marriage 2 can place multiunit goods respectively in the storage check 11 that corresponds, and can save the goods information that corresponds with every storage check 11 in the suggestion module, like this, when the suggestion module acquires the goods information, can get a set of goods in the storage check 11 that the person of getting goods taken and goods information corresponds based on this goods information suggestion. In other words, the cargo allocation system that this application embodiment provided can place the multiunit goods that the letter sorting finishes respectively to a plurality of storage goods check 11 in through cargo allocation mechanism 2 is automatic, and can indicate under the effect of suggestion module that the person of getting goods takes a set of goods in the storage goods check 11 that corresponds with goods information. Therefore, on one hand, the labor intensity of the goods distributor can be reduced, and on the other hand, the situation that the goods taking personnel take more or less goods can be avoided.

Wherein, the second side of goods shelves 1 both can be the one side that carries on the back with the first side of goods shelves 1, of course, the second side of goods shelves 1 also can be other sides of goods shelves 1, for example, in some embodiments, the second side of goods shelves 1 can refer to "top side" of goods shelves 1, in other words, only need to guarantee that goods distribution mechanism 2 can put goods through the mouth of putting goods of storage check 11, it can to get goods personnel can get goods through the mouth of getting goods, this application embodiment does not do specific restriction to the position of the second side of goods shelves 1.

In a vending scenario, the set of items may refer to a collection of items indicated by the customer order information. For ease of understanding, the embodiments of the present application will illustrate a group of items. For example, the order information of the customer a indicates that 2 packets of spicy strips and 2 packets of melon seeds are included, and then the 2 packets of spicy strips and 2 packets of melon seeds are a group of goods. Obviously, the plurality of groups of items may refer to a collection of items indicated by a plurality of order information corresponding to a plurality of customers, respectively.

For convenience of understanding, in the following, a workflow of a distribution system applied in a supermarket online selling scene will be briefly described in the embodiments of the present application.

In the online selling scene of the supermarket, if a supermarket receives order information of a customer a, the order information indicates that a group of goods B is included, then, the goods distribution mechanism 2 can place a group of sorted goods B in the C storage grid 11, and meanwhile, the prompt module can store the corresponding relation between the goods information of the group of goods B and the C storage grid 11. Later, when the taker comes to take the goods, assuming that the goods information of the goods to be taken by the taker is just indicated as the group of goods B, then, the prompting module can acquire the goods information of the goods to be taken by the taker, and simultaneously, the taker is prompted to take the group of goods B in the C storage grid 11 based on the goods information.

Of course, the above supermarket online selling scene is only one possible application scene of the distribution system shown in the embodiment of the present application, and it can be understood that the distribution system can also be applied to other possible scenes, which are not listed in the embodiment of the present application.

It is understood that, since the distribution system can be used to avoid the situation that the goods taker takes more or less goods, in a practical use scenario, the distribution system may further include: the division wall is provided with the trompil that matches with goods shelves 1 on the division wall, and goods shelves 1 set up in the trompil, and goods shelves 1's first side and second side are located the both sides of division wall respectively. Therefore, the goods taking personnel and the goods distribution mechanism 2 can be respectively positioned at two sides of the goods shelf, obviously, the situation that the goods taking personnel directly take goods from the second side of the goods shelf 1 and take more or less goods can be avoided.

When the storage goods check is great, the distance of getting between the mouth and putting the mouth of storage goods check 11 is far away, obviously, after putting the mouth department and placing the goods when joining in marriage goods mechanism 2, it is not very convenient because the reason far away of distance leads to when getting the goods personnel through getting the mouth and getting the goods, and based on this, in some embodiments, the bottom surface of every storage goods check can be domatic, and the slope bottom is towards the one side of getting the mouth, and one side that every storage goods check is close to and gets the mouth is provided with the fender goods board. Like this, after the mechanism 2 of joining in marriage places the goods in putting cargo hold department, the goods can be towards the direction of getting cargo hold and be kept off getting cargo hold department by the fender goods, like this, gets that the personnel of goods just can get the goods very convenient of department taking goods in getting cargo hold department.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, a cargo door 111 may be disposed on each cargo storage cell 11, and the cargo door 111 on each cargo storage cell 11 is electrically connected to a prompt module, and the prompt module can control the cargo door 111 of the cargo storage cell 11 corresponding to the cargo information to be opened. Thus, when the taker gets the goods in the future, in a possible scenario, the prompting module may include a keyboard or a touch screen with an input function, at this time, the taker may input the goods information of the goods to be taken through the keyboard or the touch screen, and after the prompting module acquires the goods information of the goods to be taken based on the keyboard or the touch screen, the door 111 of the storage compartment 11 corresponding to the goods information may be controlled to be opened. Like this, get the storage goods check 11 that the personnel just can confirm the goods place according to the position at goods door 111 place, later can take the goods in this storage goods check 11, obviously, just so can avoid getting the condition emergence that the personnel took more or take the goods less, also can avoid getting the condition emergence that the personnel took wrong goods.

In another possible scenario, the prompt module may include a camera, the goods taker may provide a two-dimensional code corresponding to the goods information, and at this time, the two-dimensional code may be scanned by the camera, and after the prompt module acquires the goods information of the goods to be taken based on the two-dimensional code scanned by the camera, the goods door 111 of the goods storage grid 11 corresponding to the goods information may be controlled to be opened. Like this, get the storage goods check 11 that the personnel just can confirm the goods place according to the position at goods door 111 place, later can take the goods in this storage goods check 11, obviously, just so can avoid getting the condition emergence that the personnel took more or take the goods less, also can avoid getting the condition emergence that the personnel took wrong goods.

In conclusion, the prompt module only needs to acquire the information of the goods which are required to be taken by the goods taker, and the prompt module is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the application.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the first side of the shelf 1 may be provided with a prompt lamp 112 corresponding to each storage grid 11, the prompt lamp 112 corresponding to each storage grid 11 is electrically connected to the prompt module, and the prompt module can control the on-off state of the prompt lamp 112 corresponding to the goods information to change. Like this, similar with last embodiment, when the person of getting goods comes to get goods, the prompt module can acquire the goods information of goods that need to get through the keyboard that includes, touch-sensitive screen or camera, after the prompt module acquires the goods information of goods that need to get, can control the bright or dark state that sets up the warning light 112 on the storage goods check 11 that corresponds with this goods information and change, like this, the person of getting goods just can confirm the storage goods check 11 that the goods are located according to the position that the warning light 112 that the bright or dark state changes is located, and then can take goods in this storage goods check 11, and like this, the condition that the person of getting goods took wrong goods can also be avoided taking goods equally and take place.

In still other embodiments, referring to fig. 1, each storage compartment 11 may be provided with a door 111 and a warning light 112, so as to better avoid the situation that the taker takes more or less goods, and to better avoid the situation that the taker takes wrong goods.

It should be understood that the cargo door 111 and the indicator light 112 may be both located at the second side of the shelf 1, and the reason why the cargo door 111 and the indicator light 112 may be both located at the second side of the shelf 1 is not described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, the cargo distribution mechanism 2 may include: one or more distribution trolleys 21 and a rail 22. The track 22 is arranged at the second side of the shelf 1, each goods-distribution trolley 21 is positioned on the track 22 and can move on the track 22, and one or more goods-distribution trolleys 21 are used for respectively transporting a plurality of groups of goods into the plurality of goods-storage grids 11 along the track 22. In this way, the sorted groups of the goods can be respectively transported to the storage compartments 11 by the delivery trolley 21 moving along the rail 22.

It is understood that, after the goods are sorted, when the sorted goods are to be respectively transported to the storage compartments 11 by the delivery trolley 21, it is understood that the storage compartments 11 should be empty storage compartments 11. Based on this, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, each cargo cart 21 may include: a controller, a truck body 212, and a conveyor belt 213; the conveyer belt 213 sets up on freight train body 212, the conveyer belt 213 is arranged in bearing a set of goods in the multiunit goods, freight train body 212 all is connected with the controller electricity with conveyer belt 213, the controller is connected with the prompt module electricity, the controller can acquire the position of at least one vacant storage goods check 11 that the prompt module is confirmed, freight train body 212 can drive conveyer belt 213 migration to arbitrary vacant storage goods check 11 department in at least one vacant storage goods check 11 under the control of controller, conveyer belt 213 can transport a set of goods that bear to arbitrary vacant storage goods check 11 in under the control of controller.

Thus, after the controller acquires the position of the at least one empty storage grid 11 determined by the prompt module, the truck body 212 can be controlled to drive a group of goods carried on the conveyor belt 213 to be transported to any empty storage grid 11 of the at least one empty storage grid 11, and then the conveyor belt 213 can transport the group of goods carried to any empty storage grid 11 under the control of the controller. In this way, it is ensured that a group of goods carried on the conveyor belt 213 is transported into any of the at least one empty storage compartment 11.

For example, suppose that the shelf 1 is provided with 4 storage grids 11, which are respectively an a storage grid, a B storage grid, a C storage grid and a D storage grid, wherein the a storage grid, the B storage grid and the C storage grid already store goods, and the D storage grid does not store goods, and obviously, the D storage grid is the empty storage grid 11. Thus, firstly, the controller can obtain the position of the D storage grid determined by the prompt module, then the truck body 212 can drive the conveyor belt 213 to move to the D storage grid under the control of the controller, and finally, the conveyor belt 213 can transport a group of loaded goods into the D storage grid under the control of the controller.

The conveying belt 213 may be disposed on the truck body 212 through screws, and of course, the conveying belt 213 may also be disposed on the truck body 212 through other manners, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.

Next, the embodiment of the present application will briefly describe the manner in which the prompting module determines the position of the at least one empty cargo storage grid 11.

In a first possible implementation manner, the prompting module may store the position information of each storage grid 11, and when the goods cart 21 transports a group of goods into the storage grids 11, the prompting module may further record the position information of the storage grids 11 in which the group of goods is stored, and obviously, the prompting module may determine the position of at least one empty storage grid 11 according to the position information of each storage grid 11 and the position information of the storage grid 11 in which the goods is stored.

In a second possible implementation manner, the prompting module may further determine the position of at least one empty storage grid 11 according to the position information of the storage grid 11, which is manually input.

In a third possible implementation manner, the cargo allocation system may further include: a goods detector 3; all be provided with goods detector 3 in every storage goods check, goods detector 3 is connected with the prompt module electricity, and goods detector 3 is used for detecting whether storage has a set of goods in the storage goods check 11 to with the information transmission who detects to the prompt module. The prompting module can thus determine the position of at least one empty storage compartment 11 based on the information detected by the item detector 3.

Of course, the three ways of determining the position of the at least one empty cargo storage grid 11 by the three prompting modules are only three possible implementation ways shown in the embodiment of the present application, and certainly, the prompting modules may also determine the position of the at least one empty cargo storage grid 11 by other possible ways, which is not described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

In order to smoothly transfer one of the plurality of groups of the goods carried on the conveyor belt 213 to any empty storage cell 11, it can be understood that it is first ensured that the conveyor belt 213 is successfully docked with any empty storage cell 11. Based on this, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, each of the distribution trolleys 21 may be provided with a docking detector 214; the docking detector 214 is electrically connected to the controller, and the docking detector 214 is used to detect whether the conveyor 213 is successfully docked with any of the empty storage compartments 11. In this way, it is possible to ensure that one of the plural groups of the articles carried on the conveyor belt 213 is smoothly conveyed into any of the empty storage compartments 11.

Continuing with the above embodiment, assuming that the D storage compartment is the empty storage compartment 11, first, the controller may control the truck body 212 to transport the conveyor belt 213 to the D storage compartment, and then, the docking detector 214 may detect whether the conveyor belt 213 is successfully docked with the D storage compartment. If the docking detector 214 detects that the conveyor belt 213 and the D storage grid are not successfully docked, in a possible implementation manner, the controller may control the truck body 212 to drive the conveyor belt 213 to move near the D storage grid until the docking detector 214 detects that the conveyor belt 213 and the D storage grid are successfully docked, and at this time, it may be ensured that a group of goods carried on the conveyor belt 213 is transported into the D storage grid.

The docking detector 214 may be a distance sensor, and certainly, the docking detector 214 may also be other components capable of detecting whether the conveyor belt 213 and any empty storage grid 11 are successfully docked, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Next, the working principle of the embodiment of the present application, which can detect whether the conveyor belt 213 is successfully docked with any empty storage compartment 11 when the docking detector 214 is a distance sensor, will be briefly described.

When the docking detector 214 is a distance sensor, it is understood that the distance sensor can detect the empty cargo storage cell 11 within the detection distance range, and in a possible implementation, when the distance sensor does not detect the empty cargo storage cell 11, that is, when the empty cargo storage cell 11 is not within the detection distance range of the distance sensor, the distance sensor and the empty cargo storage cell 11 are not successfully docked. Similarly, when the distance sensor detects the empty storage grid 11, that is, when the empty storage grid 11 is located within the detection distance range of the distance sensor, the distance sensor and the empty storage grid 11 can be considered to be successfully docked.

Based on the above description, it is important to ensure that one of the multiple groups of goods carried on the conveyor belt 213 is smoothly transported to any empty storage space 11, that is, whether the conveyor belt 213 and the empty storage space 11 are successfully docked is important, in other words, the position relationship between the conveyor belt 213 and the empty storage space 11 is important, and more generally, the truck body 212 needs to ensure that the conveyor belt 213 can be transported to the correct position each time.

However, in an actual application scenario, when the truck body 212 repeatedly moves, a position of the previous time may deviate from a position of the next time. For example, if the goods-dispensing cart 21 is driven by the stepping motor to move along the track 22, and if the conveyor belt 213 needs to be driven from the first position to the D storage grid before, the stepping motor can drive the goods-dispensing cart 21 to drive the conveyor belt 213 to the D storage grid and successfully dock with the D storage grid after receiving 1000 pulses. However, when the conveyor belt 213 needs to be driven to the D storage grid from the first position next time, often due to the reason that the stepping motor loses pulses, and the like, the 1000 pulses cannot drive the goods distribution trolley 21 to drive the conveyor belt 213 to the D storage grid from the first position and successfully dock with the D storage grid. That is, the repetitive movement of the cargo cart 21 is less accurate.

It will be appreciated that, in general, the pinion tends to have a high degree of precision of repetitive movement when it moves along the rack, and based on this, in some embodiments, see fig. 2 and 3, the bottom of the cart 21 may be provided with a pinion-type roller 211, the track 22 may be a rack-type track, the pinion-type roller 211 being engaged with the rack-type track, and the pinion-type roller 211 being capable of moving along the rack-type track. In this way, the precision of the repetitive movement of the cargo cart 21 can be ensured by the engagement of the gear-type rollers 211 with the rack-type rails.

Continuing with the above embodiment, assuming that the belt 213 needs to be driven from the first position to the storage compartment D, the gear-type roller 211 rotates 100 teeth to enable the goods-distributing cart 21 to drive the belt 213 to the storage compartment D and to be successfully docked with the storage compartment D. Then, when the conveyor belt 213 needs to be driven to the D storage grid from the first position next time, the gear-type roller 211 rotates by 100 teeth, so that the goods-distributing trolley 21 drives the conveyor belt 213 to the D storage grid and is successfully docked with the D storage grid. That is, at this time, the repetitive movement accuracy of the cargo cart 21 is high.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the order trolley 21 may comprise: a controller, truck body 212 and dumping mechanism 215; toppling mechanism 215 sets up on freight train body 212, toppling mechanism 215 is arranged in bearing a set of goods in the multiunit goods, freight train body 212 all is connected with the controller electricity with toppling mechanism 215, the controller is connected with the prompt module electricity, the controller can acquire at least one vacant storage goods check 11 that the prompt module was confirmed, freight train body 212 can drive to topple over mechanism 215 and transport to arbitrary vacant storage goods check 11 department in at least one vacant storage goods check 11 under the control of controller, topple over mechanism 215 and can topple over a set of goods that bear to arbitrary vacant storage goods check 11 under the control of controller.

Thus, after the controller acquires the at least one empty storage grid 11 determined by the prompt module, the truck body 212 can be controlled to drive the dumping mechanism 215 to move a group of goods loaded on the dumping mechanism 215 to any empty storage grid 11 of the at least one empty storage grid 11, and then the dumping mechanism 215 can transport the loaded group of goods to any empty storage grid 11 under the control of the controller. In this way, it is ensured that a group of goods carried on the conveyor belt 213 is dumped into any one of the at least one empty storage compartment 11.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5, a live rail 223 may be disposed on the rail 22, the live rail 223 being electrically connected to each of the cart 21. That is, each cargo cart 21 may be powered by the arrangement of the live rail 223 on the track 22, which may avoid providing a separate power supply for each cargo cart 21, which may increase the manufacturing cost of the cargo cart 21 and the size of the cargo cart 21.

Wherein, electrified guide rail 223 can set up on track 22 through the mode of buckle, certainly, also can set up on track 22 through other modes, only need can for join in marriage goods dolly 21 power supply can, this application embodiment does not do specific restriction to this.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6, the plurality of storage compartments 11 may be distributed along the height direction and the width direction of the shelf 1, and the rail 22 may include one or more first rails 221 disposed along the width direction of the shelf 1, and one or more second rails 222 disposed along the height direction of the shelf 1; each of the order trucks 21 is movable from at least one first rail 221 of the one or more first rails 221 to any one second rail 222 of the one or more second rails 222, or from at least one second rail 222 of the one or more second rails 222 to any one first rail 221 of the one or more first rails 221 under the control of the controller.

The number of the first tracks 221 may be one or multiple, and it is only necessary that each cargo cart 21 can move from at least one first track 221 of the one or more first tracks 221 to any second track 222 of the one or more second tracks 222 under the control of the controller, and the number of the first tracks 221 is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. Similarly, the number of the second tracks 222 may be one or more, and it is only necessary that each cargo cart 21 can move from at least one second track 222 of the one or more second tracks 222 to any first track 221 of the one or more first tracks 221 under the control of the controller, and the number of the second tracks 222 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

For convenience of understanding, in one possible scenario, the number of the first tracks 221 is multiple, and the number of the second tracks 222 is one, in which case each of the first tracks 221 may be understood as a track disposed along the width direction of the shelf 1, and the multiple first tracks 221 are sequentially stacked at a certain distance in the height direction of the shelf 1, and the second track 222 may be understood as a track disposed along the height direction of the shelf 1 and used for connecting the multiple first tracks 221. In this way, the goods cart 21 can reach any position of the shelf 1 through the plurality of first rails 221 and the plurality of second rails 222, and further, any group of goods transported by the goods cart 21 can be transported to any empty goods storage grid 11.

Next, a principle of carrying the cargo cart 21 from the a rail to the B rail among the plurality of first rails 221 via the second rail 222 will be briefly described, taking an example in which the plurality of first rails 221 are sequentially stacked at a predetermined distance in the height direction of the rack 1 and the second rail 222 is disposed along the height direction of the rack 1.

In one possible implementation, referring to fig. 7, an elevator 2221 movable in a length direction may be provided on the second rail, and a splicing rail engaged with each first rail 221 is provided on the elevator. At first, the height and the A track parallel and level of lift vertical ladder, like this, join in marriage goods dolly 21 can get into the lift vertical ladder through the concatenation track in A track and the lift vertical ladder, later, the lift vertical ladder can reach the height at B track place along the second track, and finally, join in marriage goods dolly 21 can follow the concatenation track in the lift vertical ladder and the B track shifts out to the B track on to realize that join in marriage goods dolly 21 moves to the B track from A track transportation through the second track.

It should be noted that the above embodiment is only one possible way that the cargo cart 21 is transported from the a rail to the B rail through the second rail, and of course, the cargo cart 21 may also be transported from the a rail to the B rail through other ways, which is not limited in this embodiment. In addition, the a track and the B track are any two tracks of the plurality of first tracks 221, and the a track and the B track are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
