Accordingly, the main cabinet may receive a user-entered order for picking materials via the input device. The item picking order may be used to indicate, among other things, the item objects that the user wants to pick, and the specific picking weight.

In this embodiment, after the material sorting cabinet receives the material sorting order input by the user, the identity of the target material and the preset weight of the user for the target material may be obtained through data analysis. Further, the material sorting cabinet can determine a material object matched with the identity as a target material according to the identity of the target material; and retrieving the material objects contained in the material boxes in the material sorting cabinet, and finding the material box containing the target material as the target material box.

In this embodiment, after the material picking cabinet finds the target material tank according to the material picking order input by the user, a display provided on the weighing picker corresponding to the target material tank may be called to show the preset weight to be picked of the target material tank. Meanwhile, the material sorting cabinet can call and control the sub-cabinet provided with the target material box to open the cabinet door, so that a user can conveniently receive the target material according to the preset weight displayed by the display.

in one embodiment, the material picking cabinet may also present one or more of the following information to a user via a display (e.g., LED material picking labels) associated with each bin during operation: a name of the material object in the material bin associated with the weighing picker, a remaining weight of the material object in the material bin associated with the weighing picker, a weight of the material object currently picked by the weighing picker, and so on. Therefore, the user can conveniently know the names of the material objects contained in the material boxes, the picking progress of the target material wanted by the user and the residual weight of the material objects in the material boxes. If the user finds that the residual weight of the material object in a certain material box is too low, a material supplementing application for the material object can be sent to the management center through the input device, so that material supplementing can be carried out in time.

In an embodiment, in implementation, when the material sorting cabinet controls the opening of the target material tank (for example, controls a sub-cabinet provided with the target material tank to open a cabinet door), the method may further include the following steps: and displaying the name, the residual weight and other information of the material object in the corresponding material box through a display.

in one embodiment, prior to receiving a user-entered order for picking items, the method, when embodied, may further include: collecting face information of a user; according to the face information of the user and a preset identity information base, carrying out identity verification on the user; and in the case that the user identity verification is passed, accepting the material picking order input by the user.

in this embodiment, in order to protect the security of the material object and prevent a person without an authority from randomly getting the material, the face information of the person with the authority to get the material may be collected in advance and stored in the user identity information base during specific implementation. When a user wants to request to select materials, the material selecting cabinet can acquire the information of the face of the user through the camera and match the information of the face stored in the user identity information base according to the information of the face of the user so as to authenticate the identity of the user. And after the corresponding face information is matched in the user identity information base, determining that the user identity passes the authentication. The material picking cabinet receives the material picking order input by the user and carries out corresponding processing according to the material picking order.

In one embodiment, prior to receiving a user-entered order for picking items, the method, when embodied, may further include: collecting fingerprint information of a user; according to the fingerprint information of the user and a preset identity information base, carrying out identity verification on the user; and in the case that the user identity verification is passed, accepting the material picking order input by the user.

In one embodiment, the user may also efficiently and quickly pick desired item objects using the item picking cabinets without carrying explicit, specific item picking orders.

In this embodiment, in specific implementation, when the user identity authentication is passed, the method may further include the following steps: receiving a no-single-picking instruction input by a user; and responding to the no-single-picking material selecting instruction, and controlling to open cabinet doors of all the sub-cabinets so as to select the target materials by the user.

In this embodiment, in implementation, a user may input a no-order-picking instruction through an input device to request to pick a required item in a mode without setting an item picking menu.

in this embodiment, when the material sorting cabinet receives the above-mentioned no-single sorting instruction input by the user, the material sorting cabinet may respond to the instruction, and open the cabinet doors by controlling to open all the sub-cabinets, so that all the material tanks are in an open state. Therefore, a user can select a required material object in any one material box according to specific conditions. In the selecting process, a user can also weigh out materials with proper weight through a weighing and sorting machine connected with the material box.

In an embodiment, in order to supplement the material objects with a small remaining weight in a timely and intelligent manner, when the method is implemented, the following contents may be further included: detecting whether the residual weight of the material object in the material box is smaller than a preset weight threshold value or not according to a preset time interval; and sending out prompt information under the condition that the detected residual weight of the material object in the material box is less than a preset weight threshold value.

In this embodiment, in specific implementation, the material sorting cabinet may call each weighing and sorting machine to weigh the remaining weight of the material object in the corresponding material box through each preset time interval (e.g., 1 hour, etc.) of the remaining material detector, and may send a prompt message through a warning light or other device when detecting that the remaining weight of the material object in the material box is smaller than a preset weight threshold, so as to prompt a manager of the management center to perform a material supplementing operation on the material object in time.

in this embodiment, when it is detected that the remaining weight of the material object in the material tank is smaller than the preset weight threshold, the signal transceiver may further send a prompt message to the management center to prompt a manager of the management center to perform a material supplementing operation on the material object in time.

In this embodiment, the functions and effects specifically realized by the program instructions stored in the computer storage medium can be explained by comparing with other embodiments, and are not described herein again.

in a specific implementation scenario example, the material picking cabinet, the material picking method and the device provided by the embodiment of the application are applied to supplement the material objects and pick up the material objects. The specific implementation process can be implemented by referring to the following contents.

When supplementing the material object, specifically, refer to a schematic diagram shown in fig. 6, in which the material picking cabinet, the material picking method, and the device provided by the embodiment of the present application are applied to supplement the material object in one scenario example. When the system is specifically implemented, under the condition that the material picking cabinet passes the authentication based on the face information of the manager, the manager of the management center allows the manager to input an instruction in the input equipment. The manager can input a feeding instruction in the input device. The material picker can generate and display an incomplete material supplementing list based on the specific remaining condition of the material objects stored in the material picker, so that the manager can perform targeted material supplementing.

Specifically, the manager can click and select the incomplete supplement list to supplement the materials. In specific implementation, a manager can scan the commodity bar code of the material object to be supplemented through the scanning gun. The material picking cabinet can determine whether the materials that the manager wants to replenish are in the material picking cabinet according to the commodity bar code. If not, error information is generated and displayed to prompt the manager that the cabinet does not contain the material. If so, the corresponding material box position of the material and the residual weight of the material in the material box are displayed. Meanwhile, the expected supplement weight of the material box for containing the material is displayed through the LED material selecting label, and meanwhile, the material selecting cabinet can control the material box to be in an open state, so that a manager can conveniently supplement the material for the material box. The manager can supplement the materials according to the expected supplement amount displayed by the LED material sorting label. After the supplement of the material box is completed, the LED material sorting label corresponding to the material box can be turned off. And supplementing the material tanks according to the mode. In addition, a material supplementing page can be directly clicked, a material supplementing application is clicked under a material icon which is out of stock, and then a material supplementing sheet can be automatically generated according to the maximum capacity to automatically supplement the material.

After the manager completes the supplement of all the materials, each material box can be closed, and the completion of the supplement is clicked. The weighing picker of each material tank will check whether the actual and expected additional weight of the material is the same. When the two values are determined to be consistent, the feeding is confirmed to be finally completed. When the two values are determined to be inconsistent, the manager is prompted to continue feeding.

When picking materials, refer to fig. 7, which is a schematic diagram of picking materials by using the material picking cabinet, the material picking method, and the material picking apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application in an example scenario. In specific implementation, the user can click the material receiving instruction on the input device under the condition that the identity verification based on the face information passes. The material sorting cabinet can respond to the instruction and display the incomplete material picking list according to a preset program. Meanwhile, two modes of single material receiving and no single material receiving are displayed for the user to select. When a user selects a single item, the item picking cabinet may display the target item that the user wants to pick based on the user's item picking order. Meanwhile, the corresponding expected picking weight can be displayed through the LED material picking label on the weighing picker, and the material box where the target material is located is opened for a user to take materials. The user can press out LED material after finishing getting the material and select the label. When a user selects no single material, the material selecting cabinet can open each material box and display related information of the material together with the LED material selecting labels of the material boxes, so that the user can obtain the material with proper weight according to own conditions.

In the process of getting the material, the user finds that the material is short, can click to enter a material page, and click a material supplementing application for the material short of the goods so as to supplement the material according to the maximum capacity in the following process.

After the user finishes getting the required materials, each material box can be closed, and the material getting is finished by clicking. At this time, the weighing and sorting machine of each material box can detect whether the actual receiving weight of the material is consistent with the expected receiving weight. And when the two numerical values are determined to be consistent, the material taking is confirmed to be finally completed. And when the numerical values are determined to be inconsistent, prompting the user to continue to take the material.

Through the scene example, the material selecting cabinet, the material selecting method and the material selecting device provided by the embodiment of the application are verified, and as the corresponding weighing and selecting machines are arranged on the material boxes, a target material box can be determined according to a material selecting order input by a user through the main cabinet, and the cabinet door for opening the sub-cabinet where the target material box is located is automatically called, so that the user can obtain the target material with preset weight through the weighing and selecting machines. The technical problems that the existing equipment cannot intelligently determine the target materials required by the user automatically according to specific orders of the user, and the sub-cabinet door for storing the target materials is opened automatically, so that the user can obtain the required materials according to weight conveniently, and the user experience is poor are solved. The technical effects of simplifying user operation, improving user experience and facilitating the user to draw the target material according to the required preset weight are achieved.
