3 is a view showing a cavity according to an embodiment of the present specification. As described above, the common ward may be an urban infrastructure facility in which facilities such as electric power, communication, water supply, and heating are jointly accommodated in a predetermined underground space and managed without damaging road facilities such as excavation. The common ward may be a facility provided underground for public goods supplied to the building, such as water supply pipes, sewer pipes, heating and cooling facilities, electric wires and communication lines. Specifically, referring to FIG. 3, the common ward may include a walkway along with a cooling and heating facility, an electric wire, a communication line, a water supply pipe, and a sewer pipe. For example, the common ward may further include other facilities or facilities, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

Here, the existing distribution system may generally operate based on the movement of vehicles within or between the city centers, and various problems such as road congestion may occur based on this. In addition, although a technology for forming an underground distribution chain has been proposed, there is a problem that natural destruction may occur because a separate distribution tunnel must be provided, and the business may be prolonged due to civil agreements.

In consideration of the above points, referring to FIG. 4, a method of constructing a facility for a distribution system in an existing common ward or a common ward created in a new city or a new subway line may be considered. More specifically, main rails 410-1 and 410-2 and auxiliary rails 420 may be provided as distribution rails in the common zone. As an example, in FIG. 4, the main rails 410-1 and 410-2 and the auxiliary rails 420 are mounted as distribution rails on the ceiling of the common ward, but the description is not limited thereto. For example, the main rails 410-1 and 410-2 and the auxiliary rails 420 as distribution rails may be mounted in a walking path or other form, and are not limited to the above-described embodiment. In addition, the carts 430-1 and 430-2 may be mounted through the main rails 410-1 and 410-2, and the distribution system may operate based on the cart.

In addition, referring to FIG. 5, the distribution system in the common ward may operate based on the control server 540. As an example, the control server 540 is a server installed in the common ward and communicates with the main rails 510-1 and 510-2 / auxiliary rails 520 and the carts 530-1 and 530-2 as distribution rails, and , It may be a server that performs control on this. As a specific example, the control server 540 and the above-described components 510-1, 510-2, 520, 530-1, and 530-2 in the common zone may have a communication network. For example, the communication network may be at least one of short-range communication, wired communication, wireless communication, 3G, 4G, and 5G communication, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Here, the control server 540 may be located in the common ward so as to perform smooth communication with the above-described components 510-1, 510-2, 520, 530-1, and 530-2. For example, if the control server 540 is located outside the common ward, and the remaining components 510-1, 510-2, 520, 530-1, 530-2 are located in the common ward, the control server 540 and the rest of the configuration Communication between them (510-1, 510-2, 520, 530-1, 530-2) may not be smooth. That is, since a common ward installed in the basement may be blocked from the outside, a communication network connecting with the outside may not be connected smoothly. In consideration of the above points, the control server 540 and the remaining components 510-1, 510-2, 520, 530-1, and 530-2 exist together inside the common ward, and through a local area network or other communication network. You can form your own communication network. Here, the control server 540 may have a separate communication network connected to the outside, and may be connected to the external network at a location where a wired network or other communication is smooth. That is, an intra network including the control server 540 and the above-described components 510-1, 510-2, 520, 530-1, and 530-2 is built inside the common zone, and only the control server 540 is external. Communication can be performed by connecting with. Through this, the control server 540 may facilitate communication with a device for controlling the distribution system or an application connected to the device. However, this is only an example, and the control server 540 may be located outside the common ward, and the remaining components 510-1, 510-2, 520, 530-1, 530-2 may be located within the common ward. .

Here, among the above-described configurations of the distribution system installed in the common ward, the main rail and the auxiliary rail may be installed in various forms within the common ward, but as an example, the main rail and the auxiliary rail may be installed on the ceiling. More specifically, since water pipes, sewer pipes, and other facilities are included in the common ward, rails are installed on the ceiling to avoid collisions with the corresponding facilities, and the cart may move along the rails. As another example, the above-described facilities may be installed on one side of the cavity, a rail may be installed on the other side, and a cart may be moved parallel to one side, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. However, in the following description, for convenience of explanation, it is described based on the case where the rail is installed on the ceiling.

For example, the distribution system may include a rail unit installed on the ceiling of the common ward. The logistics system may include a cart connected to the rail unit and moving along the rail to load cargo. The distribution system may include a control server that communicates with the rail unit and the cart, and controls the movement of the cart and the rail. That is, the distribution system may be composed of a rail unit, a cart, and a control server, and may operate based on this.

As a more specific example, referring to FIG. 6, a rail part of the distribution system may be installed on the ceiling of the common ward. In this case, the rail part may include main rail parts 610-1 and 610-2 and auxiliary rail parts 620. The main rail units 610-1 and 610-2 may be passages through which the cart 630 loads and moves logistics. That is, the cart 630 may move along the main rail portions 610-1 and 610-2. In this case, the main rail parts 610-1 and 610-2 may be composed of a main rail part 610-1 and a main rail part 610-2 in different directions. In one example, the "IN" main rail part 610-1 may function as a line for supplying logistics, and the "OUT" main rail part 610-2 may perform a function of carrying out the logistics, but is not limited thereto. . For example, a main rail part connected to a building receiving distribution along a common ward from the outside may be an "IN" main rail part 610-1. On the other hand, the main rail part for carrying out logistics from the building to the common ward may be the "OUT" main rail part 610-2. Here, an auxiliary rail part 620 may be installed between the "IN" main rail part 610-1 and the "OUT" main rail part 610-2. In this case, the auxiliary rail unit 620 may be a rail unit used to change the direction of logistics. In addition, as an example, a plurality of carts 630 may be present in the main rail parts 610-1 and 610-2, and may be a rail part auxiliary provided to change the order of the plurality of carts 630. More specifically, when only the main rail parts 610-1 and 610-2 are present in the cavity, it may be difficult to change the direction or order of the cart 630. To this end, an auxiliary rail part 620 may be provided between the main rail parts 610-1 and 610-2. However, the auxiliary rail part 620 does not need to be installed all over the main rail parts 610-1 and 610-2, and may be installed only in a certain section. For example, the auxiliary rail unit 620 may be installed only in a preset area. As another example, the auxiliary rail unit 620 may be installed at regular intervals. In addition, the auxiliary rail part 620 may be installed in various forms, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

Here, the main rail part, the auxiliary rail part, and the cart may be controlled by the control server.

For example, referring to FIG. 7, the control server 710 may communicate with a plurality of carts 720. In addition, each of the plurality of carts may include a device capable of recognizing location information. As a more specific example, since the plurality of carts 720 are located in the cavity, a camera sensor may be provided, and position information may be recognized by checking a relative position through image information in the cavity obtained through the plurality of carts 720. As another example, each of the plurality of carts 720 includes an identification device (e.g. RFID), and a device for recognizing the identification device may be provided at each location in the cavity. Here, each device may be installed based on the relative position information in the cavity, and may be installed at regular intervals. In addition, as an example, each of the devices may be installed at a distribution point in the common ward and other points requiring distribution control, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. At this time, the identification device of the cart 720 communicates with the device installed in the common ward, and through this, the relative position information can be checked. For example, the identification device of the cart 720 may be tagged to a device in the common ward, and through this, the relative position information of the cart 720 may be obtained in the common ward. The cart 720 may transmit the acquired location information to the control server 710, and the control server 710 may periodically check the relative position of the cart 720 through this. As another example, the control server 710 triggers transmission of location information based on a specific event, and may request the cart 720 to transmit location information. As an example, the control server 710 may request current location information from the cart 720 upon detecting an event for a case in which the order of logistics delivery needs to be changed or stopped. At this time, the cart 720 may transmit the current location information to the control server 710 based on relative location information obtained from a device in the common ward or location information obtained through an image in the common ward through a camera. Through this, the control server 710 may check the relative position information of the plurality of carts 630 in the common ward, and perform control for providing a distribution service based thereon.

In addition, as an example, referring to FIG. 7B, the control server 710 may control whether or not to open/close the plurality of carts 720 and other operations. For example, the cart 720 may receive logistics from a logistics input unit installed in the common ward. For example, the logistics input unit may be set in consideration of the operating range of the logistics system. In addition, as an example, the logistics input unit may be set to a preset position of the common ward. As a more specific example, a plurality of apartments may be connected to a distribution system based on a common ward, and a hub related to a plurality of apartments may exist. Here, the logistics input unit may be installed in the corresponding hub, through which the logistics can be supplied to the logistics system. The control server 710 may control the opening and closing device of the cart 720 to load the logistics. Here, each distribution included in the cart 720 may be assigned a respective identification value. The control server 710 may check identification values for each of a plurality of logistics included in the cart 720 and move the logistics through the cart 720. That is, in the distribution system, each of the plurality of carts 720 may have individual identification values, and each of the plurality of distribution items included in the cart 720 may also have individual identification values. The control server 710 can determine the location of the corresponding logistics by a combination of the identification value of the cart and the identification value of the logistics, and control whether to open or close the cart for logistics delivery. In addition, the control server 710 may control the movement or inclination of the cart. For example, in the case of discharging logistics from the cart 720, the cart may be inclined to a conveyor belt. On the contrary, in the case of loading the logistics on the cart 720, it can be tilted in the opposite direction so that the logistics can be loaded, and this control can be performed through the control server 710. In addition, when the cart 720 moves the logistics and arrives at the arrival position in the common ward, the control server 710 may open and close the cart based on the location information of the cart 720 to move the logistics. For example, the arrival location may be a preset location in each building, but is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Thereafter, the logistics can be delivered through a lift in the building, and the control server 710 can check and control even the corresponding delivery, thereby preventing a loss of logistics accident.

In more detail, referring to FIG. 7C, the cart 720 may move along the main rail to arrive at the arrival point. In this case, the control server 710 may check whether or not the cart has arrived based on the location information of the cart. Thereafter, the control server 710 may control the opening and closing of the cart 720 and the inclination of the cart, and discharge the logistics corresponding to the corresponding point from the cart 720 to the conveyor. At this time, the logistics may be delivered by moving to a lift (or elevator) along a conveyor belt. For example, in FIG. 7C, the lift may be a freight elevator of a destination building. In this case, the lift may be implemented so that buildings adjacent to the common zone are delivered from the logistics rail in the common zone through the lift to the corresponding building from the new city construction stage. At this time, the cart 720 that has loaded the logistics can be unloaded automatically by moving the logistics to the building in which the elevator is installed through a conveyor belt. The control server 710 may control not only the opening and closing of the cart 720 but also the tilt of the cart, and control the cart to tilt from the conveyor belt to move the logistics. After that, the cart 720 may rejoin the main rail part. At this time, as an example, as described above, since each logistics has an identification value, the logistics can automatically move through an elevator based on this. For example, the control server 710 may control a corresponding elevator or lift, and automatically check a location to which the corresponding logistics will be moved. In addition, the inside of the elevator may also be a conveyor belt, and the control server 710 may get off the corresponding logistics when the elevator stops to complete delivery.

As a specific example, when "No. 1705 in the apartment" is the destination of the logistics, the logistics may move from a cart in the common ward to an elevator along a conveyor belt and then stop at the elevator on the 17th floor. At this time, the distribution can be pushed (moved) toward the corridor through the conveyor belt in the elevator, and delivery can be completed accordingly. Here, the control server may control the above-described operation. In addition, as an example, the control server may provide a message or notification to a user device that receives logistics by interlocking with an application or another server, and through this, delivery can be completed.

As another example, the control server may communicate with the main rail unit and the auxiliary rail unit. As a specific example, referring to FIG. 8A, not all parts of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part may communicate with the control server. For example, it may include a main rail part, an auxiliary rail part, and a direction changeable area 811 and 812. In this case, the area in which the direction can be changed may include a driving device and a communication device. In more detail, the auxiliary rail unit may be a rail unit required to control the movement of the cart based on order cancellation of cargo, change of delivery address, and route complexity. Here, in order to change the path of the cart, the direction change regions 811 and 812 may be included at predetermined positions of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part. Since the interior of the cavity may be a narrow area, the area for direction change (811, 812) may be controlled to include a driving device and a communication device for direction change.

In more detail, referring to FIG. 8B, when the path of the cart needs to be changed, the cart needs to be moved to the auxiliary rail part. At this time, the control server can confirm that the cart moves to the direction change areas 811 and 812 of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part. The control server may detect the movement of the cart based on the location information of the cart. Thereafter, the control server may transmit a request for direction change for moving the cart to the direction change areas 811 and 812 of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part. In this case, when the driving device of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part direction change areas 811 and 812 accepts a request from the control server, it may transmit a response thereto to the control server. Thereafter, direction change may be performed by a driving device of the direction change regions 811 and 812 of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part. At this time, the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part direction change areas 811 and 812 may be rotated by the driving device, and the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part direction change area 811 at a predetermined rotation angle as shown in FIG. 8B. , 812) may be connected. At this time, as an example, the communication device of the main rail unit and the auxiliary rail unit direction change areas 811 and 812 may transmit a connection completion message to the control server when the connection is completed. Thereafter, the control server may transmit a move command message to the cart based on the connection completion message, and the cart may move to the auxiliary rail unit. Thereafter, when the cart completes movement to the auxiliary rail unit, the cart may transmit a movement completion message to the control server. Thereafter, the control server may transmit the end message to the direction change areas 811 and 812 of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part based on the movement completion message. At this time, the driving device of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part direction change area (811, 812) may return to the original state as shown in FIG. 8C based on the completion of the movement, through which the cart is moved from the main rail part to the auxiliary rail part. You can move. Here, as described above, since the auxiliary rail part is required for direction change, it may not be installed in the entire main rail part, but may be installed in a preset area, as described above. At this time, the movement of the cart described above can be managed by the control server, and the direction change areas 811 and 812 of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part are also controlled by the control server, so that the cart or logistics is lost in the distribution system. You can prevent it from moving out of the management area.

As another example, the cart may move to the auxiliary rail unit in consideration of the state of logistics or logistics delivery. For example, a cart with a possibility of changing the route may be moved from the main rail part to the auxiliary rail part to wait, and may be moved to the auxiliary rail to slow down or stop to wait for an instruction. Here, the control server may control the movement by performing communication with the communication device of the cart, the main rail part, and the direction change area 811 and 812 of the auxiliary rail part for the above-described operation, and based on this, the cart movement is performed. You can do it smoothly.

As another example, there may be a cart parking rail part in addition to the auxiliary rail part. For example, when there are a plurality of carts in the common ward, and logistics is delivered based on this, it may be necessary to move and store the carts. In consideration of the above points, a separate cart parking rail part may exist as shown in FIG. 9A. More specifically, since the carts in the cavity are located underground, there may be a limitation in performing the supply and removal of the cart in real time. That is, it may not be easy to mount or remove a plurality of carts on the rail in real time. In consideration of the above points, the rail portion in the cavity may further include a cart parking rail portion. have. Here, in the cart parking rail part, a plurality of carts may be located on the rail, and the cart parking rail part and the main rail part direction change areas (911, 912) exist as in the direction change area of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part. I can. At this time, the above-described areas 911 and 912 include a driving device and a communication device like a direction change area of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part, and the cart can be moved to the main rail part by being changed in direction as shown in FIG. 9B. It may be the same as in Figure 9c. Here, the direction change method may be the same as the direction change of the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part.

In addition, as an example, referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, a detailed operation of delivering logistics based on the logistics system may be illustrated. For example, the distribution system may include a distribution center. Here, the distribution center may be provided with facilities capable of supplying distribution to the common ward. At this time, each of the distributions is gathered at the distribution center, and each identification value may be assigned. In addition, each of the logistics can be assigned to each cart by the control server. After that, each of the goods is moved into the cavity through an escalator or a conveyor belt and can be loaded onto each cart. Thereafter, the carts can move along the rail portion in the cavity, as described above. Here, in FIG. 10, a main rail part and an auxiliary rail part for direction change may be installed in a predetermined area in the attached rail part, as described above. After that, the logistics can be used along the cart. As a more specific example, the cart may be disembarked to the building 1 adjacent to the common ward along the "IN" mail rail part. Here, as shown in FIG. 10, there is a lift, and automatic unloading may be performed to the corresponding destination of the building 1 adjacent to the common ward through the lift. In addition, the cart can be moved out of the cavity along the "OUT" mailrail section. Here, in the building 2 adjacent to the common ward, there may be logistics that require delivery to other regions. At this time, the logistics is delivered to the cart through the lift, and the cart can load the logistics carried out along the "OUT" mail rail part and move out of the cavity. In this case, as an example, the control server may assign an identification value to logistics discharged from the building and check the corresponding cart.

Hereinafter, it may be a specific embodiment of the operation of the distribution system based on the above.

When User A, who lives in a building adjacent to the common ward, requests a return

For example, the logistics system may control not only an operation of delivering from a logistics producer to a logistics consumer, but also a case of returning the logistics back to the logistics producer based on the return of the logistics consumer. For example, user A may request a return to an e-commerce company through a mobile app. At this time, the return request of the mobile app may be transmitted to the above-described control server. In other words, the e-commerce company receiving the return request can automatically transmit the request to collect the item to the company operating the joint district. Here, the control server may move a nearby cart to the building in which the user A resides. For example, the control server may check a cart suitable for delivery among carts near the user A residence building, based on location information, and move it to the user A residence building. At this time, user A may load the returned logistics on a lift and transfer it to an underground conveyor. Thereafter, the return logistics may be delivered to the cart through the conveyor. Here, the control server may prevent loss by assigning an identification value when the returned logistics is included in the cart. In addition, the cart may be discharged out of the cavity through the "OUT" main rail part of the above-described mail rail part.

When User A who lives in a building adjacent to the common ward requests an exchange

For example, the logistics system may control not only the operation of delivering from the logistics producer to the logistics consumer, but also the case of re-exchanging the logistics with the logistics producer based on the return of the logistics consumer. For example, user A may request an e-commerce company to exchange with a mobile app. In this case, the request for exchange of the mobile app may be transmitted to the above-described control server. In other words, the e-commerce company receiving the exchange request can automatically transmit the request to collect the item to the common ward operating company. Here, the control server may identify the exchanged product in a distribution center other than the common ward, load it with a cart and move it to the building in which the user A resides. At this time, the exchange product may be unloaded automatically through a conveyor belt of the user A residence building, and the exchange product may be provided to the user A through a lift. Here, the cart may move along the "IN" mail rail part. Here, the user A may load the return logistics on the lift and transfer it to the underground conveyor. Thereafter, the return logistics may be delivered to the cart through the conveyor. Here, the control server may prevent loss by assigning an identification value when the returned logistics is included in the cart. In addition, the cart may be discharged out of the cavity through the "OUT" main rail part of the above-described mail rail part.

When multiple cargo arrives at the same time in a building adjacent to the common area

For example, a cart may contain a number of logistics. In this case, as an example, the control server may determine a cart to move the logistics in consideration of the destination of the logistics. For example, logistics with similar destinations may be moved through the same cart. In addition, as an example, the cart can automatically unload the logistics at the logistics drop-off point that arrives first while moving along the rail, and can sequentially get off the logistics through movement, thereby increasing the efficiency of the logistics system.

User A cancels the order while moving along the logistics rail

As an example, it may be considered a case in which user A performs a cancellation order while logistics is being delivered through a cart in the common ward. At this time, since the control server needs to change the delivery, the cart can be moved from the main rail part to the auxiliary rail part. In addition, the cart can be moved back to the distribution center by changing its direction at the auxiliary rail, and after getting off the corresponding distribution at the distribution center, it can be moved back to the common ward for delivery.

When user A requests to change the delivery address while moving along the logistics rail

As an example, it may be considered a case in which user A requests to change the delivery address while logistics is being delivered through a cart in the common ward. At this time, the control server can check whether there is no problem with moving the cart even after changing the delivery address. Here, when there is no problem in moving the cart, the control server may perform delivery by changing the delivery address of the corresponding logistics of the cart. For example, if the changed delivery address is the same as the delivery destination of other logistics in the cart, the control server may deliver the corresponding logistics to the changed delivery destination. On the other hand, when a delay or problem occurs in delivery due to movement of the cart, the control server needs to change the delivery, so that the cart can be moved from the main rail part to the auxiliary rail part. In addition, the cart can be moved back to the distribution center after its direction is changed at the auxiliary rail part, and the distribution can be disembarked at the distribution center, and the delivery destination can be changed to perform delivery with a new cart.

12 is a view showing the interior of the cavity according to an embodiment of the present specification. As an example, referring to FIG. 12, in order to prevent interference when a distribution rail crosses with other facilities such as air conditioning and heating facilities, water pipes, sewage pipes, etc. in a common ward, different installation heights may be designed between structures. In other words, other facilities such as heating and cooling facilities, water pipes, and sewage pipes in the common ward can be located at a low height, and distribution systems can be installed on the ceiling to prevent mutual interference.

More specifically, since water pipes, sewer pipes, and other facilities are included in the common ward, rails are installed on the ceiling to avoid collisions with the corresponding facilities, and the cart may move along the rails. As another example, the above-described facilities may be installed on one side of the cavity, a rail may be installed on the other side, and a cart may be moved parallel to one side, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

13 and 14 are diagrams illustrating a method of moving cargo from a common ward to a distribution destination according to an embodiment of the present specification.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14, it will be described that the cargo 1330 transferred through the common ward 10 is moved to the delivery destination within the building 20, but this is the same when the cargo is moved from the building to the common ward. It should be understood that it can be implemented in a way.

Referring to FIG. 13, the cart 1310 may be moved to the unloading position along the rail portion 1300 of the cavity 10. In the unloading position, a door formed on one surface of the cart 1310 is opened, and the cargo in the cart 1310 can be unloaded from the cart. The cargo in the cart may be lowered to the local moving means 1320. In order to unload the cargo in the cart, a conveyor device 1311 may be provided in the cart. The operation direction of the conveyor device may be at least two directions. That is, the conveyor device 1311 in the cart may move the cargo inside or outside the cart. In addition, the above-described local moving means 1320 may be an installation equipped with a conveyor device or movable equipment. In FIG. 13, the conveyor device is shown as a conveyor belt, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, the'conveyor device' described in the present specification refers to a conveyor system, and the belt-shaped surface moves for the movement of cargo (conveyor belt), as well as at least partially formed on the surface through wheels, balls, etc. Various means of moving the position of the placed object may be included here.

The cargo moved by the local moving means 1320 may be transferred to the mobile robot 1340. The mobile robot 1340 is a mechanical device that moves and loads and unloads cargo under the control of a server. A loading surface for loading cargo may be provided on a part of the upper surface of the mobile robot. A conveyor device may be configured on the loading surface. In addition, in one embodiment, the height of the conveyor device (loading surface) of the mobile robot 1340 and the height of the local moving means 1320 may be configured to be the same or similar. That is, a step difference may not be formed between the two. Accordingly, cargo can be moved without additional energy consumption by the mobile robot and the conveyor device formed in the local moving means.

The mobile robot 1340 may move to the delivery destination building 20 after loading the cargo. An elevator 1350 may be provided in the building 20, and the elevator may be moved in a vertical direction within the building. In addition, a conveyor device 1351 may be provided on at least this portion of the underside of the elevator 1350 in the building. In one embodiment, the height of the conveyor apparatus 1351 of the elevator and the height of the mobile robot 1340 may be configured to be the same or similar. That is, a step difference may not be formed between the two. Accordingly, cargo can be moved without additional energy consumption by a conveyor device formed in each of the mobile robot and the elevator.

The cargo moved by the conveyor apparatus 1351 of the elevator is moved to the destination floor, and the cargo may be moved to the space of the destination floor by the elevator conveyor apparatus 1351 from the destination floor. Although not shown, the mobile robot described in FIG. 13 may be provided for each destination floor to receive cargo from an elevator and perform movement to an exact destination.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 13 further, the mobile robot 1340 that unloads the cargo with the elevator conveyor device 1351 is moved to a preset location to receive maintenance work such as filling or washing, or a local moving means for moving other cargo. You can also go to (1320).

15 is a diagram illustrating a method of operating a distribution system according to an embodiment of the present specification.

The distribution system using the common zone may include a rail part included in the common zone and including a main rail part and an auxiliary rail part. In addition, the distribution system using the common sphere may include a cart that loads distribution and moves along the rail unit, and a control server that controls the rail unit and the cart.

At this time, as an example, when the logistics are delivered based on the logistics system, the logistics can be loaded into the cart at the first point through the control server. (S1310) Thereafter, the cart loaded with the logistics moves along the rail unit. It is possible to move to the second point (S1320) At this time, the control server may take out the logistics loaded on the cart at the second point (S1330).

Here, as an example, the main rail part and the auxiliary rail part may be installed on the upper part of the cavity. In addition, the main rail unit may include a first main rail unit for loading and unloading the logistics at a first point outside the common ward, moving the logistics to a second point in the common ward, and moving the unloading cart. That is, the cart moving inside the cavity may move along the first main rail part. In addition, the rail unit may include a second main rail unit for loading and unloading the logistics at a second point in the common ward and moving the logistics to a first point outside the common ward and getting off. That is, the cart moving outside the cavity may move along the first main rail part. In addition, the auxiliary rail part may be configured between the first main rail part and the second main rail part. Here, the main rail part may be installed in the upper part of the cavity along the passage of the cavity, and the auxiliary rail part may be installed only in a partial area of the area in which the main rail part is installed.

In addition, the auxiliary rail part may be a rail part for changing the direction of the cart moving along the main rail part. In this case, when it is necessary to change the direction of the cart, the control server may control the cart, the first area of the main rail part, and the first area of the auxiliary rail part. For example, the control server may move the cart to the first area of the main rail part. After that, the control server rotates the first area of the main rail part and the first area of the auxiliary rail part, and connects the first area of the main rail part and the first area of the auxiliary rail part at a predetermined angle based on the rotation. And, it is possible to move the cart from the first area of the main rail part to the first area of the auxiliary rail part. Thereafter, the control server may restore the first area of the rotated main rail part and the first area of the auxiliary rail part, through which the cart can move from the main rail part to the auxiliary rail part.

In addition, as an example, the rail unit may further include a cart parking rail unit that is installed on the upper portion of the cavity and stores a plurality of carts. In this case, when it is necessary to use a cart located in the cart parking rail part, the control server may control the cart, the first area of the cart parking rail part, and the first area of the main rail part. In this case, the control server may move the cart to the first area of the cart parking rail part and rotate the first area of the cart parking rail part and the first area of the main rail part. Here, the first area of the cart parking rail part and the first area of the main rail part are connected at a predetermined angle based on rotation, and the cart moves from the first area of the cart parking rail part to the first area of the main rail part. Can be. Thereafter, the control server may restore the first area of the rotated cart parking rail part and the first area of the main rail part, thereby moving the cart for use to the main rail part.

In addition, the cart includes one side that can be opened and closed for loading the logistics, and the slope can be adjusted for loading the logistics. For example, the control server may control an open/closeable side and slope of the cart in consideration of loading and unloading of logistics. For example, when the logistics loaded on the cart is carried out, the control server may control the cart, the conveyor belt at the carrying point, and the lift at the carrying point. For example, the control server may move the logistics from the cart to the conveyor belt at the take-out point, and move the logistics moved along the conveyor belt at the take-out point to the delivery destination along the lift of the take-out point to complete delivery.

In addition, as an example, the control server controls a plurality of carts, but each of the plurality of carts may include identification information. In addition, each of the carts may be loaded with a plurality of logistics. At this time, when the logistics are loaded on the cart, identification information may be assigned to each of the logistics. The control server may control the rail unit and the cart based on the identification information of each of the carts and the identification information of each of the logistics. In addition, as an example, the cart may include a location information identification device. In this case, the cart may acquire relative position information in the common ward based on the position information identification device, and transmit the obtained relative position information to the control server. The control server may control the rail unit and the cart based on the relative position information, as described above.
