Referring to FIG. 11, first, an object layer of an elevator is input (S110). The input means may be an input console or the like provided in the elevator, and the passenger inputs a target floor to which he / she wants to go through such an input interface. Thereafter, the central processing unit provided in the cargo transportation system classifies the cargo transported to the same or lower layer as the input destination layer (S120), and instructs to transport the corresponding cargo to the second space of the elevator in which the cargo is loaded. do. That is, in order to simultaneously carry out freight transportation with the use of a person's elevator, one embodiment of the present invention uses a lift that moves with a person to any floor below the destination layer of the freight to transport the cargo to the maximum distance. This can reduce excess load space caused by all cargo waiting in one floor and maximize energy efficiency.

In addition, the number of layers transported may be defined differently according to the importance of the baggage to be transported (for example, the importance may be defined to be higher than that of other cargoes if it is to be urgently transported or dangerous cargo). In addition, which baggage to be transported in the present invention may be determined in various ways. For example, the transfer order may be determined according to the receipt order of the baggage. Alternatively, the baggage transport ranking may be determined based on the principle of transportation with the minimum number of movements, based on the transport layer on which a person is determined. Alternatively, it is possible to maximize the number of times of transportation in the minimum time without human transportation (eg, dawn).

In addition, if the transportation of the person is the highest priority, the freight transportation can be withheld for a while, in this case, the person can select it through the input console provided in the elevator, and also know the current elevator progress.

Then, the cargo is transferred to the second space by the cargo transport means (for example, rail, robot) connected to the second space of the elevator (S130). Thereafter, the elevator moves to the target floor, and as the elevator reaches the target floor, the cargo loaded in the second space is first transported to a cargo transfer means provided outside the elevator (S130). As described above, the first conveyance may be performed by a conveying means such as a traction roller provided under the second space. Thereafter, the first conveyed cargo to a cargo conveying means such as a roller system is conveyed back to the second destination (S140). To this end, the cargo transport means, more specifically, the cargo horizontal transport means is preferably connected to the door (second door) of the second space of the elevator, it is preferably a structure extending to the destination.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the freight transportation method determines whether cargo is loaded in the second space before the second transfer, and only after the cargo is loaded, the step after the second transfer is performed. In order to determine whether the cargo is loaded, a sensor such as a weight sensor or RFID may be provided in the second space or the cargo transport means.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
