Fig. 1 is a schematic view of an example of a delivery system of a first embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the distribution system includes a platform server 1, an automatic distribution device 2, a locker 3, an automatic distribution device control terminal 4, a locker control terminal 5, and a storage terminal 6. The automatic distribution device 2 and the storage cabinet 3 are provided at the same site ST.

In this embodiment, the platform server 1 is connected to the automatic distribution equipment control terminal 4, the locker control terminal 5 and the storage terminal 6 through a network, respectively, for data interaction.

Further, the platform server 1 may be an independent server or a server cluster.

The automatic dispensing device 2 comprises at least one storage compartment for placing articles. The storage compartment can be closed or open.

The automatic distribution equipment control terminal 4 is used for controlling one or more automatic distribution equipments 2. It may be a server connected to the automatic distribution apparatus 2 via a network, or may be a control unit provided in the automatic distribution apparatus 2. The embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking the automatic distribution apparatus control terminal 4 as an example of a server connected to the automatic distribution apparatus 2 via a network.

The locker control terminal 5 is used for managing one or more lockers 3. It may be a server connected to the locker 3 through a network, or may be a control unit provided in the locker 3. Similarly, the embodiment of the present invention is described by taking the locker control terminal 5 as an example of a server connected to the locker 3 through a network.

The storage terminal 6 is a terminal device used by a storage user. It can be implemented by a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer or other special equipment.

Further, the platform server 1 is configured to receive a storage request for a target site, and in response to the target site having the automatic distribution device bound thereto, allocate a storage grid from one of the target locker and the bound automatic distribution device for storage according to an available state of the bound automatic distribution device, wherein the target locker is a locker belonging to the target site.

It should be understood that, for convenience of explanation, fig. 1 illustrates the platform server 1, the automatic distribution device 2, the locker 3, the automatic distribution device control terminal 4, the locker control terminal 5, and the storage terminal 6 as one example, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the platform server 1, the automatic distribution device 2, the locker 3, the automatic distribution device control terminal 4, the locker control terminal 5, and the storage terminal 6 may be plural. Reference may be made in particular to fig. 2.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of another example delivery system. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the distribution system comprises a platform server 1, two automated distribution equipment control terminals 4a and 4b, two locker control terminals 5c and 5d, and two

deposit terminals

6e and 6 f.

The two automatic dispensing device control terminals 4a and 4b are different platforms. The automatic distribution equipment which can be controlled by the automatic distribution equipment control terminal 4a is 2a, and the automatic distribution equipment which can be controlled by the automatic distribution equipment control terminal 4b is 2 b.

The two locker control terminals 5c and 5d are different platforms. The storage cabinet controlled by the storage cabinet control end 5c is 3c, and the storage cabinet controlled by the storage cabinet control end 5d is 3 d.

The

storage terminals

6e and 6f belong to different platforms, respectively. For example, the deposit terminal 6e may be registered on the platform server 1 so that the deposit terminal 6e belongs to the platform server 1. The deposit terminal 6f may be made to belong to the other server by registering on the other server.

Further, the station of the embodiment of the invention is provided with at least one locker and at least one automatic distribution device. The storage cabinet and the automatic distribution equipment in the same station can be corollary equipment belonging to the same platform or can belong to different platforms. For convenience of description, the embodiment of the present invention is described by taking the storage cabinet and the automatic distribution device as examples, which belong to different platforms.

In fig. 2, for the station ST1, an automatic distribution apparatus 2a and a locker 3c are included. For station ST3, automatic distribution equipment 2b and a storage cabinet 3d are included. Thus, lockers and automatic distribution equipment belonging to different platforms can be integrated into one site.

For the station ST2, the automatic distribution device 2a, the automatic distribution device 2b, and the locker 3c are included, whereby the automatic distribution devices of different platforms can be integrated into one station, and the lockers and the automatic distribution devices belonging to different platforms can be integrated into one station.

Therefore, the storage cabinets and the automatic distribution equipment of different platforms can be butted, the compatibility among different platforms is improved, meanwhile, due to the fact that the storage cabinets and the automatic distribution equipment are provided with the storage grids, the handling capacity of storing and taking articles can be improved, and the application scene of large unit quantity is met.

As described above, the automatic distribution devices and the lockers in the same site belong to different platforms, and therefore, the automatic distribution devices and the lockers of different platforms need to be docked, and specifically, fig. 3 is a flowchart of the platform docking according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the platform docking comprises the steps of:

and S101, the automatic distribution equipment control end acquires and sends the equipment information.

In this embodiment, for a certain station, when a locker and automatic distribution equipment need to be set, if the locker and the automatic distribution equipment do not belong to the same platform, the equipment needs to be bound, and the automatic distribution equipment control terminal obtains the equipment information and sends the equipment information to the locker control terminal.

Further, the device information includes one or more of a number, parameters, and a number of storage compartments of each automatic dispensing device.

Wherein the number of the automatic distribution equipment has uniqueness, and is used for characterizing the unique automatic distribution equipment. The parameters may be various parameters of the automatic dispensing device, such as the size of the storage compartment, the type of automatic dispensing device (drone, drone vehicle or robot), etc.

And S102, binding the external equipment by the control end of the storage cabinet.

In this embodiment, after the control end of the storage cabinet receives the device information, the external device is bound. Wherein the external equipment is the automatic distribution equipment.

Specifically, the binding operation may be storing binding information, where the binding information includes one or more of an identifier and a communication address of the control end of the automatic distribution device, the device information, and the like.

And step S103, marking the website by the platform server.

In this embodiment, after the locker control end binds the automatic distribution device, corresponding binding information is sent to the platform server. And after the platform server receives the binding information, the platform server learns that the locker control end of the site is bound with the automatic distribution equipment, and marks the site.

And step S104, distributing cabinet grid marks at the control end of the storage cabinet.

In this embodiment, the control end of the storage cabinet distributes a cabinet grid identifier for each storage grid, and the automatic distribution device does not conflict with the cabinet grid identifiers of the storage grids of the storage cabinet.

In an alternative implementation, the grid identification of the storage grid of one of the automated dispensing device and the locker is kept constant and the grid identification is assigned to the storage grid of the other. For example, a grid identifier of a cell of an automatic dispensing device is maintained, and a grid identifier is assigned to a cell of a locker, or a grid identifier of a cell of a locker is maintained, and a grid identifier is assigned to a cell of an automatic dispensing device, so that the automatic dispensing device does not collide with the grid identifier of the cell of the locker. Since the grid identifiers of the automated distribution equipment and the cabinet are usually predetermined, changing only one of the grid identifiers can reduce the process flow. In addition, when the cabinet grid identifications of the automatic distribution equipment and the storage cabinet are inconsistent, the automatic distribution equipment and the storage cabinet can be distributed without redistribution, and the original cabinet grid identifications are reserved.

In another alternative implementation, the grid identifiers of the storage grids of the automatic distribution device and the storage cabinet are redistributed, and the automatic distribution device does not conflict with the grid identifiers of the storage grids of the storage cabinet. The automatic distribution equipment and the cabinet lattice identifiers of the storage lattices of the storage cabinet can be more standard by redistributing the identifiers, and the corresponding storage lattices can be quickly and accurately found when articles are stored and taken.

The automatic distribution equipment 2 and the storage cabinet 3 are illustrated by taking fig. 4 as an example, and the redistributed cabinet marks are shown as K01-K14 in the figure.

And step S105, matching the cabinet grid identification.

In this embodiment, if the locker control end allocates the grid identifier of the automatic distribution device, the allocated grid identifier is sent to the automatic distribution device control end, so that the automatic distribution device control end matches the grid identifier. For example, taking fig. 4 as an example for explanation, assuming that the cabinet identifiers assigned to the automatic distribution equipment are K13 and K14, the automatic distribution equipment control terminal matches K13 and K14 with two storage compartments, respectively, and stores the correspondence.

Therefore, the butt joint of the storage cabinets and the automatic distribution equipment of different platforms can be realized.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart of the interaction flow of the automatic distribution apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, when the automatic distribution apparatus is in the available state, the distribution information interaction method includes the steps of:

step S201, scanning the two-dimensional code.

In the present embodiment, when a user in a site needs to use a storage shelf, a two-dimensional code in the site is scanned by using an APP (Application) that is installed in advance by a terminal device. Further, taking the storage cabinet 3 and the automatic distribution device 2 in fig. 4 as an example for explanation, the two-dimensional code is disposed on the storage cabinet.

In an alternative implementation, the pre-installed APP may be a dedicated APP bound to the platform server.

In another alternative implementation, the pre-installed APP may also be WeChat, various browsers, or other APPs with scanning controls, and the delivery management applet is automatically activated when the two-dimensional code is scanned.

According to the different access requirements, the embodiment of the invention divides users into three types: platform distribution personnel, non-platform distribution personnel and general users. The main requirements of platform distribution personnel and non-platform distribution personnel are storage of the parts, and the main requirements of common users are pickup of the parts.

The platform delivery personnel are delivery personnel of the platform server, and the non-platform delivery personnel are not delivery personnel of the platform server.

Specifically, taking take out as an example, assume that "G take out" and "H take out" are two different take out platforms, and the platform server is the server of "G take out". The delivery personnel for the "take out of G" are platform delivery personnel and the delivery personnel for the "H take out" are non-platform delivery personnel.

Further, the flow of taking the piece from the storage cabinet at the site by the common user may refer to various existing manners, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that platform distribution personnel, non-platform distribution personnel and ordinary users all need to be registered in advance. For example, after scanning the two-dimensional code, if the APP or the applet does not detect the login information of the user, the user is prompted to log in or register. If the platform is a platform delivery person, the platform can log in by using the account number bound with the platform server. If the user is a non-platform delivery person or a common user, information such as a user account, an account password, a user type and the like needs to be submitted during registration. The user types comprise non-platform delivery personnel and ordinary users.

Further, when detecting the user type, the APP or applet may be detected after authorization by the user.

It should be understood that fig. 4 illustrates an example in which the two-dimensional code is disposed on the storage cabinet, but the two-dimensional code and the disposed position are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention, and may be disposed at any other position of the station.

It should also be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to scanning two-dimensional codes, and other machine-readable marks may also be applied to the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, such as bar codes.

And S202, accessing identity recognition.

As described above, the user has logged in to the APP or applet, which can obtain the access identity of the user after the user has authorized it. The access identity comprises platform delivery personnel, non-platform delivery personnel or ordinary users.

And step S203, sending a storage request.

In this embodiment, if the identified access identity is a platform delivery person or a non-platform delivery person, a storage request is sent to the platform server, and then the step S204 is performed.

Wherein the storage request comprises a site identifier and/or a locker identifier of the target site.

If the access identity is a common user, the pickup process is entered, and the specific pickup process may refer to various existing implementation manners, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

And step S204, the platform server determines the site type.

In this embodiment, after receiving a storage request sent by a storage terminal, the platform server obtains a site identifier and/or a locker identifier of a target site, and determines a site type of the target site according to the site identifier and/or the locker identifier.

As described above, after the locker control end binds the automatic distribution device, corresponding binding information is sent to the platform server. And after the platform server receives the binding information, the platform server learns that the locker control end of the site is bound with the automatic distribution equipment, and marks the site. The station to which the automatic distribution equipment is bound is marked as an automatic distribution station, and the station to which the automatic distribution equipment is not bound is marked as a normal station. Thus, the platform server may determine the site type of the current site.

In response to the target site being an automatic distribution site, the flow proceeds to step S205.

In response to the target site being a common site, the locker storage process may be executed, specifically, steps S311 to S322 in fig. 10 may be referred to through locker storage.

Step S205, the platform server sends a first query request.

In this embodiment, in response to the target site being an automatic distribution site, the platform server queries the status of the automatic distribution equipment, where the status includes an available status and an unavailable status.

Specifically, since the automatic distribution equipment is bound to the locker control terminal, the platform server sends a first query request to the locker control terminal, wherein the first query request indicates that the locker identification is included.

And step S206, the control end of the storage cabinet acquires the identification of the automatic distribution equipment.

In this embodiment, the first query request sent by the platform server to the locker control end includes a locker identifier. Specifically, since the locker control end may manage a plurality of lockers, the identities of the lockers at the respective sites are not consistent, and thus, the status query request sent by the platform server to the locker control end includes the locker identity of the target site.

Further, the locker control terminal obtains the locker identification in the first query request, and queries the automatic distribution equipment bound with the locker identification.

And step S207, the locker control terminal sends a second query request.

In this embodiment, after querying the automatic distribution device bound to the locker identifier, the locker control terminal sends a second query request to the automatic distribution device control terminal, where the second query request includes the bound automatic distribution device identifier.

Step S208, the automatic distribution device control end acquires the state of the automatic distribution device.

In this embodiment, after receiving the second query request, the automatic distribution device control end obtains the automatic distribution device identifier in the query request, and further determines the available state of the automatic distribution device.

Specifically, the available state of the automatic distribution apparatus can be acquired by the following four ways:

the first mode is that the available state of the automatic distribution equipment is determined according to whether the bound automatic distribution equipment has a free storage lattice. Specifically, in response to a bound automated dispensing device having a free shelf, an availability status of the automated dispensing device is determined to be available. Determining that the availability status of the automated dispensing device is unavailable in response to the bound automated dispensing device having no free storage cells.

And determining the available state of the automatic distribution equipment according to the distribution state of the bound automatic distribution equipment and whether the automatic distribution equipment has idle storage lattices. Specifically, among the bound automatic distribution devices, an automatic distribution device in a non-distribution state is selected and determined as a pending automatic distribution device. Determining that the availability status of the automatic dispensing device is available in response to the pending automatic dispensing device having a free storage compartment. Determining that the availability status of the automatic dispensing device is unavailable in response to the pending automatic dispensing device having no free storage compartment.

And thirdly, determining the available state of the automatic distribution equipment according to the position of the bound automatic distribution equipment and whether the automatic distribution equipment has a free storage space. Specifically, among the bound automatic distribution devices, the automatic distribution device with the position within the preset range of the target locker is selected and determined as the automatic distribution device to be determined. Determining that the availability status of the automatic dispensing device is available in response to the pending automatic dispensing device having a free storage compartment. Determining that the availability status of the automatic dispensing device is unavailable in response to the pending automatic dispensing device having no free storage compartment.

And fourthly, determining the available state of the automatic distribution equipment according to the distribution state and the position of the bound automatic distribution equipment and whether a free storage lattice exists. Specifically, among the bound automatic distribution devices, the automatic distribution device with a non-distribution state and/or a position within a preset range of the target locker is selected and determined as the automatic distribution device to be determined. Determining that the availability status of the automatic dispensing device is available in response to the pending automatic dispensing device having a free storage compartment. Determining that the availability status of the automatic dispensing device is unavailable in response to the pending automatic dispensing device having no free storage compartment.

It should be understood that the determination of the available state of the automatic distribution device according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned several manners, and may be implemented in other manners.

Step S209, the automatic distribution device control end transmits the automatic distribution device status.

In this embodiment, the automatic distribution device control end sends the automatic distribution device status to the platform server.

The automatic distribution equipment control end can directly send the query result to the platform server, and can also send the query result to the platform server through the locker control end.

The query result comprises information such as the identification and the state of each automatic distribution device and the identification of the idle cabinet lattice.

Step S210, the platform server determines that the automatic distribution device is available.

In this embodiment, the platform server determines whether an automatic delivery device is available based on the received query structure.

In response to at least one of the automatic distribution devices bound by the target locker being available, an automatic distribution device interaction process is performed to distribute the storage grids from the automatic distribution devices for storage, and step S211 is proceeded.

In response to the fact that the automatic distribution equipment bound to the target site is unavailable, a locker interaction process is performed to allocate a locker from the target locker for storage, which may be specifically referred to steps S311-S322 in fig. 10.

And step S211, sending a storage request response.

In this embodiment, the platform server sends a storage request response to the storage terminal in response to at least one of the automatic distribution devices bound to the target locker being available. And the storage request response is used for triggering the storage terminal to display an automatic distribution equipment operation page.

And step S212, displaying an automatic distribution equipment operation page.

In this embodiment, the platform server sends a storage request response to the target terminal to trigger the storage terminal to display an operation page of the automatic distribution device.

Further, in response to the storage request response, the automatic distribution equipment which represents that the target storage cabinet is bound and available is displayed, and an automatic distribution equipment operation page is displayed and comprises a first opening control.

In some embodiments, the automatic delivery device operation page further includes a first task information control, where the first task information control is configured to obtain an identifier of a delivery task, and the first opening request includes the identifier of the delivery task.

Further, the first task information control includes at least one of a text entry control or a task list control.

Specifically, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an automatic distribution equipment operation page according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 6:

the automatic delivery equipment operation page comprises order information, and the specific order information can comprise information such as an order number, a merchant, a customer address, a customer contact information, delivery time limit requirements and the like. Such as order 35, order 49, and order 52 in the figure.

Further, the automatic delivery equipment operation page further includes a "open storage" control, specifically, for the order 35 and the order 49, the "open storage" control for displaying the two orders when the two orders are detected to be delivered to the current site. The 'opening cabinet storage' is a first opening cabinet control.

Further, the automatic distribution equipment operation page also comprises a manual record storage control. For example, for order 52, if it is detected that the order should not be shipped to the current site, information for the order and a "manual inventory" control are displayed. Therefore, the delivery personnel can select whether to store the order according to the actual situation of the order. The manual record storage control is a first task information control, and the first task information control is realized in a task list control mode.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of an automatic distribution equipment operation page according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 7:

the automatic distribution equipment operation page comprises an input window of the last four digits of the mobile phone number of the customer. The input window of the last four digits of the mobile phone number of the customer is a first task information control, and the first task information control is realized in a text input control mode.

Further, the operation page of the automatic distribution equipment comprises a 'storage' control, when a distributor needs to store the parts, four digits after a customer mobile phone number is input, and the 'storage' is clicked.

Meanwhile, the user can enter a pickup interface by selecting a control of 'I want to pickup'. Therefore, the interface can be switched between the non-platform delivery personnel storage interface and the common user pickup interface.

And step S213, sending a first opening request.

In this embodiment, in response to the first locker control being triggered, a first locker request is sent to the platform server to request that a shelf be allocated from the available automated distribution equipment bound to the target locker.

Therefore, through the interface shown in fig. 6 or fig. 7, when the delivery staff stores the item, the "opening the cabinet to store the item" or the "storing the item" control is clicked, and the terminal sends a first opening request to the platform server.

Further, when the first task information control is clicked, the user inputs a delivery task identifier, and at this time, the storage terminal is further configured to send the delivery task identifier to the platform server.

Specifically, the automatic distribution equipment operation page obtains an identifier of a distribution task through the first task information control, and the first opening request includes the identifier of the distribution task.

Step S214, sending a first distribution request.

In this embodiment, after receiving the first opening request, the platform server sends a first allocation request to the automatic distribution equipment control end to request to allocate storage shelves from the bound and available automatic distribution equipment at the target site.

It should be understood that the platform server may send the storage grid request directly to the automatic distribution equipment control end, or may send the storage grid request to the automatic distribution equipment control end via the locker control end.

And S215, storage case distribution.
