For embodiments of the courier cabinet that do not have a carousel, the gripper is in a first transfer position, i.e., the position where the gripper 20 moves the cargo to the transfer device. For the embodiment of the courier cabinet provided with a carousel 40, the gripper is in a first transfer position, i.e., the position when the gripper 20 moves the goods to the carousel 40.

The application also provides a control method of the express delivery cabinet, as shown in fig. 10 to 13, the control method of the express delivery cabinet controls the express delivery cabinet to work. The control method of the express delivery cabinet comprises the following steps: step S1: judging whether goods exist on a lifting device 30 in the express cabinet through a first image acquisition device 91, and judging whether the top surface of the goods reaches a preset height through the first image acquisition device 91 under the condition that the goods exist on the lifting device 30; step S2: when it is determined that the goods does not reach the preset height, controlling the lifting device 30 to ascend until the top surface of the goods on the lifting device 30 reaches the preset height, and when it is determined that the goods reaches the preset height, performing step S3; step S3: controlling the gripping device 20 to move the goods on the lifting device 30 to the rotating device 40; step S4: the slewing device 40 rotates to enable the code scanner to perform information scanning on the goods on the slewing device 40; step S5: after the code scanning is finished, controlling the gripping device 20 to move the goods on the rotating device 40 to the transfer device; step S6: the transfer device is controlled to store the goods on the shelves 73. Therefore, the control method of the express cabinet controls the express cabinet to realize the functions of storing, taking, sending, dispatching and the like of goods delivered at the tail end of the express delivery flow, and the time for delivering the goods can be greatly saved.

It should be noted that the preset height refers to a distance between the grabbing part of the grabbing device 20 and the bottom wall of the cabinet when the grabbing device 20 is at the grabbing position. If the gripping device 20 is a robot having a sucker, the predetermined height is the distance between the sucker and the bottom wall of the cabinet when the robot is at the gripping position.

In the present embodiment, in order to improve the accuracy and stability of the gripping device 20 gripping the goods, in step S3, the lifting height of the gripping device 20 is controlled in real time according to the detection data of the height sensor, so that the gripping device 20 is controlled to move the goods on the lifting device 30 onto the swiveling device 40.

In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the grabbing device 20 to grab the goods on the slewing device 40 and move the goods on the slewing device 40 to a proper goods position. In step S5, the second image capturing device 94 scans the information of the cargo on the rotating device 40, and controls the gripping device 20 to place the cargo on the rotating device 40 on the transferring device, and causes the transferring device to place the cargo at the proper cargo space. It should be noted that the suitable cargo space is obtained according to the placement of the tray on the current cargo space and the cargo height.

As shown in fig. 10 to 13, the transfer mechanism 50 includes a transfer bracket 51 and a telescopic mechanism 52 movably provided on the transfer bracket 51, and the telescopic mechanism 52 is capable of transferring the tray 60. The transfer carriage 51 is arranged to support the telescopic mechanism 52 on the one hand and to enable the telescopic mechanism 52 to be raised or lowered on the transfer carriage 51 on the other hand. The telescoping mechanism 52 is capable of transferring the tray 60 to place the tray 60 on or remove the tray from the cargo space.

In the description of the present invention, it is to be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the orientation words such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right", "lateral, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom", etc. are usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for convenience of description and simplicity of description, and in the case of not making a reverse description, these orientation words do not indicate and imply that the device or element being referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore, should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present invention; the terms "inner and outer" refer to the inner and outer relative to the profile of the respective component itself.

Spatially relative terms, such as "above … …," "above … …," "above … …," "above," and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one device or feature's spatial relationship to another device or feature as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if a device in the figures is turned over, devices described as "above" or "on" other devices or configurations would then be oriented "below" or "under" the other devices or configurations. Thus, the exemplary term "above … …" can include both an orientation of "above … …" and "below … …". The device may be otherwise variously oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like are used to define the components, and are only used for convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components, and the terms have no special meanings unless otherwise stated, and therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
