Express delivery unmanned aerial vehicle parcel receiving and dispatching system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of aerial logistics equipment, in particular to a parcel receiving and dispatching system of an express unmanned aerial vehicle, which adopts the express unmanned aerial vehicle to carry out full-automatic parcel dispatching.
Background
The China express industry is labor intensive, and the professional literacy of service personnel is uneven; moreover, e-commerce enterprises tend to concentrate on large cities, and more orders come from midwest or three-four line cities, which also makes the express industry face a complex situation. The real problem is that the two ends of the online shopping are connected, and the development of logistics is dilemma to solve the problem of delivery of express delivery of the last kilometer in the aspects of delivery and delivery of the last kilometer. Competition among e-commerce enterprises, with the continuous perfection of payment systems, may ultimately be determined at the last kilometer of the logistics. In the last kilometer logistics distribution problem, most logistics companies arrange a large number of people to send and receive express items. This has not been satisfactory for larger and larger traffic arrangements, and sometimes express delivery is beyond the normal delivery time by half a month, thereby causing customer churn. In the case of couriers, the last kilometer delivery job is often 90% of the overall delivery job, which results in very high intensity for the courier. In the delivery process, the situation that the customer goes out and cannot receive the express delivery often occurs, and the express delivery personnel is required to communicate with the customer in time and send the express delivery to the door again. This reduces work efficiency even more, resulting in high and constant express delivery personnel strength. At present, the last kilometer of express is a difficult problem to be solved in the industry.
The invention patent application with publication number of CN105292891A discloses an overhead logistics unmanned aerial vehicle article hanging system, which mainly provides an overhead logistics unmanned aerial vehicle article hanging system and can provide a logistics transaction environment under the condition that a customer does not have a lifting platform (site). Meanwhile, transaction monitoring can be implemented, and convenience in safe operation management is provided. However, the solution disclosed in this document still has difficulty in solving the last kilometer of problem, still requires the customer to reach his purported landing platform (site) for logistical transactions, and fails to achieve direct unmanned delivery of the courier to the customer's residence or designated site. The invention patent with the grant number of CN105691617B discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle express delivery system, and aims to provide an unmanned aerial vehicle delivery system with high efficiency, reliable delivery and wide coverage range. However, the scheme that this document mentions also carries out the air transportation through unmanned aerial vehicle only, then puts in the express delivery cabinet of each site with express delivery article, still can't realize directly delivering to customer's home or appointed place with express delivery article, still has the problem of express delivery last kilometer yet.
