This embodiment is a method embodiment corresponding to the first embodiment, and may be implemented in cooperation with the first embodiment. The related technical details mentioned in the first embodiment are still valid in this embodiment, and are not described herein again in order to reduce repetition. Accordingly, the related-art details mentioned in the present embodiment can also be applied to the first embodiment.
The third embodiment of the invention relates to a package taking-out method, which is used for the intelligent express cabinet with the dynamically allocated storage grid in the first embodiment.
Specifically, the package removal method comprises the following steps:
after a user inputs a pickup code on the display and operation panel, the processor finds a corresponding package according to the pickup code;
the conveying belt of the goods shelf where the packages are located transmits towards the direction of the goods shelf inlet, the baffle plate closest to the goods shelf inlet is folded, the packages closest to the goods shelf inlet are transmitted into the elevator, the elevator descends and pushes the loaded packages into the bottom goods shelf until the packages to be taken out are transmitted into the elevator, the conveying belt stops transmitting, and the elevator conveys the packages to be taken out to the box door;
and opening the box door, taking out the package, closing the box door, and prompting by the display and operation panel that the taking out is finished.
Further, the package removing method further comprises the following steps:
and the packages left on the bottom shelf sequentially enter the elevator again, ascend and are pushed into the original shelf, the processor updates the storage information of each package on the shelf and updates the residual storage space of the shelf.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is described below.
As shown in fig. 4, when a package is pushed into the shelf, the number of baffles on the shelf is increased by 1, that is, when the shelf is pushed from empty (without any package) to a package, the number of baffles is increased from 1 to 2, thereby the conversion formula of the number of packages in the shelf and the number of baffles is derived as follows:
s (number of baffles) is n (number of packages) +1
The first baffle is marked with the mark 0, the second baffle is marked with the mark 1, the first parcel (the innermost parcel) of each shelf is marked with the mark 1 according to the baffle, and the nth parcel is marked with the mark n, and the next parcel of the parcel marked with the mark n is marked with the mark n + 1.
The method of marking a package according to the above. When a piece is taken, after a piece taking code is input into the display and
the elevator descends and pushes the loaded package into the bottommost shelf (as shown in fig. 2, the reserved space R) until the specified package to be taken out is lowered to the box door, the package is sent out of the elevator to the box door, the box door is opened and taken out, the box door is closed, and the display and the operation panel prompt are used for finishing the taking out.
The parcels left in the bottom shelf (namely the reserved space R) enter the elevator again in sequence, ascend and push the original shelf again, and the parcel marks are recalculated (the mark n is the taken parcel), and the calculation rule is as follows:
and (4) performing a-1 operation on all package marks with the mark being more than or equal to n +1, namely, the original marks of n +1, n +2, … and n + k are recorded as n, n +1, … and n + k-1 again.
This embodiment is a method embodiment corresponding to the first embodiment, and may be implemented in cooperation with the first embodiment. The related technical details mentioned in the first embodiment are still valid in this embodiment, and are not described herein again in order to reduce repetition. Accordingly, the related-art details mentioned in the present embodiment can also be applied to the first embodiment.
