It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order.
In the present embodiment, a method for controlling a distribution cabinet is provided, and fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a distribution cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the flowchart includes the following steps:
step S102, identifying a first article to be put into a distribution cabinet, wherein the receiving type of the first article is a first type in a type set, and the type set at least comprises the first type and a second type;
and S104, controlling a first box body corresponding to a first type in the distribution cabinet body to be unlocked, wherein the distribution cabinet body is provided with at least two box bodies, each box body in the at least two box bodies corresponds to one type in the type set, the box body corresponding to the first type is used for independently giving a receiver with the receiver type being the first type, and the box body corresponding to the second type is used for sharing a plurality of receivers with the receiver type being the second type and the same distribution addresses.
The above operation may be performed by the above distribution cabinet (for example, the processing device in the above distribution cabinet). The above-mentioned distribution cabinet body may be referred to as a distribution station, which may be used as a distribution cabinet or an express delivery cabinet, and may be docked with an intelligent distribution device, for example, an indoor unmanned vehicle (e.g., a distribution robot for performing indoor distribution), an outdoor unmanned vehicle (e.g., a distribution robot for performing outdoor distribution), or other types of unmanned vehicles may be docked, wherein when the above-mentioned distribution cabinet body is docked with the distribution robot, a scene range of service may be a building including an office building, a residential building, or the like, that is, the above-mentioned distribution address may be a distribution address within the building. An example of the structure of the dispensing cabinet can be seen in fig. 2. It should be noted that the structure of the distribution cabinet may also be flexibly configured, for example, the size of each box in the distribution cabinet may be set to be the same or not the same.
It should be noted that the type of cassette may be various, for example, a cube with an opening on the inside (i.e., the side opposite the door), or a cassette with a clamping device for clamping the carrier (in this case, the cassette may be a non-cube, but a storage area with an open space).
In the embodiment, the article with the first type of the addressee type is stored in the box body which is used for separately sending the addressee with the first type of the addressee by identifying the addressee type of the article, and due to the fact that the article is stored and combined with the addressee type, even if a plurality of articles with the same delivery address exist, the first article can be guaranteed to be placed in the separate box body, the problems that the delivery mode is single and the user experience is poor in the article delivery mode in the related technology are solved, the delivery mode of the article is enriched, and the user experience is improved.
In step S102, a first item to be put into the distribution cabinet is identified, wherein an addressee type of the first item is a first type in a type set, and the type set at least includes the first type and a second type.
The type of the above-mentioned article (e.g., the first article) may be various, and for example, may be a courier purchased on the internet, a restaurant ordered on a takeout platform, fruits ordered on a fruit ordering platform, or other articles that can be ordered via the internet, etc. The above items may include actual goods purchased, and may further include: an outer package of a commodity (e.g., a packing box and/or a packing bag), order information (e.g., a courier note, an over-sale note, etc.) attached to the article or the outer package of the article, the order information including at least a delivery address of the article, and at least one of: the name of the recipient, the contact phone number, item description information, the name of the sender of the item, the address of the sender, the contact phone number of the sender, etc.
To ensure user privacy, the digits of the predetermined location of the sender's and/or recipient's contact phone may be replaced with an "a" number (e.g., the middle four digits of the phone number are replaced with an "a" number).
The recipient of the item may be determined according to the order information, for example, the recipient may be uniquely identified by using a delivery address + a contact manner (e.g., a mobile phone number, a landline number), and for example, the recipient may be uniquely identified by using a delivery address + a contact manner (e.g., a mobile phone number, a landline number) + a name.
For the scene that the contact way of the receiver is the mobile phone number, in order to avoid the problem that box resources are wasted due to the fact that the user uses different names in different order information of different articles, the receiver can be uniquely identified in the mode of the distribution address plus the mobile phone number.
For the scene that the contact way of the receiver is the private plane number, in order to avoid the problem that a plurality of receivers use the same private plane number and thus cause article storage errors, the receiver can be uniquely identified by using a distribution address + private plane number + name.
The type set of the item's inbox type may include two types: the distribution system comprises a first type and a second type, wherein the first type is used for indicating that an article is stored in a box used for being individually used by a receiver with the receiver type being the first type, and the second type is used for indicating that the article is stored in a box used for being shared by a plurality of receivers with the receiver type being the second type and the same distribution address.
Accordingly, the at least two boxes in the dispensing cabinet may comprise two of: the box body corresponding to the first type is used for separately sending the receiver with the receiver type being the first type, namely, the box body corresponding to the first type can be used for separately storing articles of the receiver with the receiver type being the first type; the box corresponding to the second type is used for sharing the items to the plurality of recipients with the same recipient type and the same delivery address, that is, the box corresponding to the second type can be used for storing the items of the plurality of recipients with the same recipient type and the same delivery address. In order to ensure the reasonable utilization of the distribution cabinet body resources, the size of the box bodies corresponding to the first type can be smaller than that of the box bodies corresponding to the second type, and the number of the box bodies corresponding to the first type can be smaller than that of the box bodies corresponding to the second type.
There may be a target area on the dispensing cabinet, which may be a solid shape (e.g., a cube). The target zone may be located at a target location of the dispensing cabinet, such as a center location, a left half, a right half, or any other location. The target area may or may not have an area that allows for placement of an item. The target area may be a gated structure or a non-gated structure. For a door structure, which may be a door with a lock, the door lock in the target area may be unlocked by the distribution personnel using a specific key or graphic code. The door of the target area may be a rotating structure (rotating along one side), a sliding structure (sliding along one direction), a rotating plus sliding structure (rotating along one side by a predetermined angle and then sliding along one direction).
A scanning component (e.g., a scanning gun, which may be fixed or movable) having scanning order information on the items to be placed (the items to be placed in the distribution cabinet, e.g., the first item, the second item, etc.) may be disposed within the target area. The scanning component may be located at any position in the target area where an item placed in the target area may be scanned, for example, for a doorless configuration, it may be located at an intermediate position; for a gated structure, it can be located at a top intermediate position (or top non-intermediate position), a bottom intermediate position (or bottom non-intermediate position), any side intermediate position (or any side non-intermediate position), and so forth. The position of the scanning component may be set according to needs, and this embodiment is not limited in particular.
The scanning component may be used to scan order information of an article to be placed, and obtain target information of the article to be placed, where the target information may include: recipient information and recipient type. The scanning component may scan an area in the order information in which the target information is filled, or may scan a graphic code (e.g., a bar code, a two-dimensional code) on the order information, and the target information is carried by the graphic code, or associated information (e.g., an order number, etc.) corresponding to the target information is carried, so that the associated information can be identified from the graphic code, and the target information of the article to be placed is obtained by using the associated information, for example, by sending the associated information to a server and receiving returned target information from the server.
The target information may be filled or selected by a purchaser of the to-be-put-in item when purchasing the to-be-put-in item, or may be pre-selected by the purchaser in a specific application, for example, recipient information is pre-input in personal information, an addressee type is input or selected, and is stored, and the target information is written in order information in a default or selected manner when purchasing the to-be-put-in item.
After the delivery personnel scan the order information for the first item using the scanning component on the delivery cabinet, the processing device in the delivery cabinet may identify a first recipient (e.g., a delivery address and a mobile phone number) for the first item and a recipient type for the first item as a first type.
After the recipient of the first article is identified as the first recipient and the recipient type of the first article is the first type, it may be determined whether there is a box corresponding to the first type allocated to the first recipient in the at least two boxes of the distribution cabinet.
In an alternative embodiment, before controlling the first box corresponding to the first type in the distribution cabinet to unlock, in the case that there is a box corresponding to the first type, which has been allocated for the first recipient of the first item, in the at least two boxes, it is determined that the first box corresponding to the first type in the distribution cabinet is: a box corresponding to the first type that has been assigned to the first recipient of the first item.
In an alternative embodiment, the first container corresponding to the first type is determined from the distribution cabinet in the absence of a container corresponding to the first type, of the at least two containers, which is assigned for the first recipient of the first item, prior to controlling unlocking of the first container corresponding to the first type in the distribution cabinet.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that the box body which is distributed for the first receiver of the first article and corresponds to the first type is not arranged in the at least two box bodies, the first box body which corresponds to the first type in the distribution cabinet body is determined, so that the situation that a plurality of box bodies which correspond to the first type are distributed for the first receiver at the same time can be avoided, and the waste of box body resources is reduced.
If there is no box in the distribution cabinet corresponding to the first type that has been distributed for the first recipient of the first item, then the first box in the distribution cabinet corresponding to the first type needs to be determined.
In an alternative embodiment, determining the first box of the dispensing cabinet corresponding to the first type comprises: determining alternative boxes (one or more alternative boxes can be) which correspond to the first type and are not distributed to other receivers except the first receiver currently in at least two boxes; and selecting the first box body from the alternative box bodies.
The processing device in the distribution cabinet body can determine the alternative boxes which correspond to the first type and are not distributed currently in the at least two boxes according to the stored boxes corresponding to the first type and the currently distributed boxes corresponding to the first type, and select the first box from the alternative boxes.
The first box may be selected from the alternative boxes in various manners, for example, the first box may be selected in a random manner, or the first box may be selected according to the serial number of the alternative box. The specific selection manner may be set as required, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the first box body is selected from the currently unassigned alternative box bodies corresponding to the first type, so that the accuracy of correspondence between the assigned box body and the type of the addressee can be ensured, and the accuracy of article storage is improved.
