Description

Reconfigurable distributed real-time transmission and distribution system and real-time transmission and distribution method

A reconfigurable distributed real-time transmission and distribution system and a real-time transmission and distribution method, in particular a transmission and distribution system and a real-time transmission and distribution method for real-time updating of posting information.

One of the core problems of logistics transportation is how to improve the efficiency of cargo transportation to reduce costs or increase profits. In order to achieve their goals, conventional large-scale logistics companies usually select a cheap location in a large geographic area to set up a cargo distribution center. This large geographic area is planned to be divided into many communities, and each community is equipped with trucks and other forms of small The transportation equipment transports the goods to the receiving customer and the receiving customer to the designated destination in each district; at a fixed time point, the trucks and even small transportation equipment in each district simultaneously transport the goods that need to be transported across the districts. In the cargo distribution center, the goods transported across regions are collected and sub-inspected in the cargo distribution center and then delivered to each district by trucks or small transportation machines to their respective dedicated districts before being transported to the receiving customers.

And some countries with developed industrial and commercial industries have huge daily trans-regional or transnational cargo throughput. International airports must separately plan cargo terminals that occupy the airport space, or use delivery aircraft to take off and land and load and unload cargo at night, or simply invest in construction For cargo-dedicated airports, some international large-scale logistics companies have even built exclusive airports and fleets of cargo aircraft in one or more countries to transport cargo entrusted by customers across regions or countries. This kind of centralized logistics model pays much attention to time arrangement. Customers must contact the logistics industry to agree on the time when they want to ship and receive the goods. The main transportation including the concentration and redistribution of goods has a fixed completion time, so it can Improve transportation efficiency.

But on the other hand, the centralized logistics process inevitably requires the establishment of a cargo distribution center in a remote area, and the installation of equipment that can sort the goods with high efficiency. The planning of this kind of distribution center not only consumes a lot of construction costs, but also makes Most transport vehicles have to go back and forth between their respective small areas and the distribution center, wasting the time for the goods to go back and forth; especially in the tight fixed collection and distribution time, it is necessary to sort the incoming goods quite quickly and distribute them to different destinations. Under time pressure, misdiagnosis, moving collisions, or accidental drops are prone to frequent occurrences, making it uncommon for goods to be classified or damaged during transportation.

This kind of transportation mode that uses a single package as the transport unit requires multiple identification tasks during the multiple transfer of goods, which also causes the error rate of automated identification to increase progressively. In addition, because the package does not necessarily have a fixed size, and there is no definite placement position, once the identification is wrong or fails, it must rely on manpower to eliminate the problem, and the cost of debugging is increased. In addition, the high-efficiency transmission of logistics companies is also common in the last link where the receiving customer is not at home or the receiving address is translated incorrectly, and it is necessary to waste the valuable time of the delivery staff to repeat or postpone the delivery; on the contrary, the sending customer Sometimes it is limited by the delay of goods due to delays in business opportunities.

The conventional logistics system uses different size trucks and airplanes in the process of parcel delivery. Every time a package is unloaded and repositioned, it will cause problems such as mutual squeezing, falling, and loss. Because it is impossible to completely eliminate the task of manually touching and moving the package, it not only consumes labor costs, but also affects the delivery time of the package due to the limitation of manpower work. It also has to bear the responsibility of manually breaking the package, sending the wrong address, and transporting the car accident And other issues. The biggest problem is that the conventional logistics system uses a designated address as the purpose of delivery, and there is no way to control the precise location of the package in a truck during the delivery. If you want to force the delivery destination to change, you need to find and identify among multiple packages. It can be changed later. Therefore, in traditional express logistics, it is often impossible to change the instructions after receiving the parcel. Only when the package fails to be delivered can you decide whether to resend it on another day or return it to the sender.

On the other hand, the conventional logistics system uses the address written by the sender as the designated address. It is difficult to immediately identify whether the address is valid and whether the address is incorrect when receiving the parcel. In the process of parcel delivery, once it involves transnational or uses different transportation channels, errors caused by re-entering the address or translating the address are inevitable. Taking the address as the purpose of delivery also tests the driver’s familiarity with the local area, which can easily cause time delays and the problem of not being able to find the address.

Therefore, how to improve the logistics procedures so that the receiving and sending customers can receive and send the goods at any time, and improve the friendliness of the delivery; there is no need to set up a large-scale distribution center during the transportation process, reduce the cost of installation, and avoid Forced to perform quick sorting in a specific short period of time to reduce the probability of rough handling of the goods and reduce misjudgment and damage; the receivers and delivery personnel can effectively collect and deliver the goods, reducing the unnecessary manpower loss of re-delivery; the most important thing is to change the receipt in real time. The cargo address or object has the best shipping flexibility, which is a problem that needs to be solved urgently in this technical field.

The foregoing and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings; in addition, in each embodiment, the same elements will be similar The label indicates.

The reconfigurable distributed real-time distribution system 1 of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 1, which is for a customer to post at least one item to a predetermined target. In this example, the system operator will According to the actual needs of operation, the service scope of a county or city is divided into operating areas such as A, B, C, D, etc., and at least one transport device 3, which is illustrated as a truck, is arranged in each operating area. The devices 3 operate in their respective operating areas, and each operating area has at least an intersection with another adjacent operating area, so that the transport device 3 can transfer the goods it carries to the corresponding The transportation device 3 in the adjacent operation area will gradually deliver the goods from the cargo shipper to the recipient or receiving place, and all of them do not need to be concentrated to a certain distribution center to reach the destination. Cost invention so-called decentralized transmission and distribution.

In this example, the posting customer must be a member who has been registered in the system and purchased an empty standard container before delivering the goods. The goods must be packed in an empty standard container with an independent identification number. In this example, the standard cargo box is made of light and impact resistant, such as ABS engineering plastic. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the standard cargo box can also be made of aluminum alloy. The standard cargo box has many different standard sizes. In this example, there is only a single predetermined depth, and there are multiple predetermined sizes that are selected from a simple integer multiple of a predetermined length and width.

In this example, referring to Figure 2 together, the posting customer puts the goods in the standard container 60 in advance. For the sake of explanation, the standard container packed with the above-mentioned goods is hereinafter referred to as the actual standard container 62. To send the customer to carry the installed standard container 62 to an agreed temporary storage device 2, such as an unattended locker in the lobby of an office building, please refer to Figure 3 together. In this example, the rear side of the locker There are, for example, six fixed pillars inside, and two fixed pillars each serve as a set of first storage units 20. Therefore, in this example, a total of three sets of first storage units 20 are provided in the locker. Since each pair of fixed columns are spaced fixedly from each other, and the distance between each pair of fixed columns and adjacent pairs of fixed columns has also been standardized, so if the shipping customer uses a standard container with a unit width, it can be fixed. At the position of a pair of fixed columns, if it is a standard cargo box with two units of width, it will span two pairs of fixed columns and be fixed on the outermost two of the four fixed columns; similarly, if a standard cargo box with three units of width is used The box is fixed on the outermost two of the six parallel fixed columns. In the height direction, there is the same selection flexibility, so that not only can the cargo box be standardized, but also the appropriate size can be adopted according to the height and width of the goods.

Afterwards, the posting customers use their own smartphones or computers, for example, to connect to the distributed real-time transmission and distribution system 1 through the Internet to compile the independent identities of the standard shipping container 62. The number and the predetermined target to be sent are delivered as a posting information to the server 4 in the distributed real-time transmission and distribution system 1. The server 4 in this example is a workstation-level computer with a set of networks Interface device for sending and receiving all relevant information. After the mounted standard container 62 is placed properly, the posting customer takes a photo or records its storage location. The photo of the mounted standard container 62 is also uploaded to the server as part of the posting information. Device 4. As shown in Figure 4, after the servo device 4 receives all the posting information in step 81, it will quickly calculate the most appropriate delivery solution in step 82, and then in step 83, the delivery solution will be transmitted through the network interface device, and each The route and information required by a transport device are transmitted to each transport device 3.

Since the transportation device 3 in this example is shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 as an example of a general passenger bus, and for example, at night when the passenger service is suspended for passenger transportation, the seat is modified to remove the seat, and the entire passenger cabin is vacated as a truck. The cockpit space can accommodate a total of, for example, nine unmanned handling units 30. As shown in Figure 7, the unmanned handling unit 30 is an example of a dynamic balancing vehicle, and in this example, it can carry standard cargo containers of three units of width and three units of height. The standard slot is 300. On the bus, there are eight unmanned handling units 30 as an example. Because there is a space for an unmanned handling unit 30, in the passenger bus cockpit, each unmanned handling unit 30 can move relative to each other in the form of a smart disk. And get the appropriate loading capacity. Similarly, in step 81, each bus must also group the respective identities of all standard cargo containers 62 carried on the vehicle, and which standard slot 300 of which unmanned handling unit 30 is located, as a group. The payload information is transmitted to the server 4.

Each bus is equipped with a 5G wireless communication device 5, by which, when the servo device 4 calculates the above-mentioned posting information and payload information in step 82 to obtain the latest transmission and distribution solution, then in step 83 Separate the pickup and delivery data related to the passenger bus from the transmission and distribution solution as the delivery information of the bus, and transmit it through the wireless communication device 5 on the bus. Pass it to the bus and order it to drive to the parking area near the temporary storage device 2 at step 84. The unmanned handling unit 30 gets off the bus’s lifting platform at step 85, drives itself to the temporary storage device 2, and takes it out from the storage location 200. The mounted standard cargo box 62 is put into the standard slot 300 on the dynamic balance vehicle, and the mounted standard cargo box 62 to be sent to this cargo station is taken out of its standard slot 300, and sent to the temporary storage device 2 to be fixed . Of course, as those skilled in the art can easily understand, since the planned bus in this example is autonomous and unmanned, a large amount of information transmission is required. Therefore, the 5G network is used as the wireless communication device. If the bus is still controlled by the driver, The wireless communication device can also use 4G or other similar devices, which will not hinder the implementation of the present invention.

Since the temporary storage device 2 in this example does not have a communication and processing device, the unmanned transport unit 30 is interpreted as having a processor and a communicator. When it returns to the transport device 3 in step 86, it will take the actual input that has just been collected. The two-dimensional barcode of the identity of the loaded standard cargo box 62 and the counter number of the newly received actual loaded standard cargo box 62 on the vehicle are transmitted to the bus. The microcomputer on the bus stores the occupancy status of each standard slot 300 of each unmanned handling unit 30 on its own vehicle, as well as the data of all the standard containers carried, etc., into the memory unit on the bus, such as a solid state drive. Then, at a certain periodic time, the payload information of the bus is uploaded to the server 4 through the wireless communication device 5. Therefore, the servo device 4 and each transport device 3 will periodically exchange and update all the above-mentioned payload information and delivery information.

If the delivery information in step 84 tells the bus to go to the intersection of an adjacent operating area and exchange goods with another bus in the adjacent operating area, then in this example, one or more of the buses The dynamic balance vehicle will be assigned to collect all the standard cargo containers on the bus that need to be delivered to the adjacent operating area in the standard slot of the one or more dynamic balance vehicles. In step 87, the buses from two adjacent operating areas will meet at the intersection of the operating areas, and the original one or more dynamic balancing vehicles will be accompanied by the cargo boxes in their standard slots. together Transfer to the neighboring bus; and the neighboring bus will have a corresponding number of dynamic balance cars driving into the bus to complete the payload exchange. Similarly, in step 87, when the exchanged dynamic balance vehicle enters the scope of the bus, it will also report the identity of the dynamic balance vehicle and the payload information of its standard slot, and follow step 86 to return this information to the server. Device 4.

Therefore, every time an installed standard container is delivered to the temporary storage device of the predetermined target, the servo device 4 will receive the corresponding change in the payload information, and then transmit the information of the delivered standard container to the predetermined recipient. Those who inform you to come to pick up the goods. In particular, if the recipient temporarily changes the itinerary, for example, needs to go to another place for a meeting, and urgently needs to display the samples in the standard container, for example, the server can also be notified to the server 4 before the goods are delivered, step 88 is cast As a result, the sending information is updated. During the operation of the bus, the servo device 4 will instantly transmit the updated transmission and distribution solution. The dynamic balance car on the bus may also exchange the standard slot position of the standard cargo box, and According to the new transportation and distribution solution, the cargo box is delivered to the temporary storage device near the meeting place, which greatly reduces the repeated delivery demand caused by the failure of posting.

Because the servo device 4 continuously receives all the posting information, the real-time location of all the transportation devices in their respective operating areas, and the transportation information of the running driving route, as well as the payload information of each transportation device, and constantly repetitive calculations update the latest The transmission and distribution solution, whether it is the posting customer or the recipient temporarily changing the posting information, can respond immediately, so that the instant transmission and distribution system and the transmission and distribution method disclosed in the present invention can fully meet the rapid and flexible needs of modern society . On the other hand, because all the transportation and transfer are distributed and completed by a large number of transport devices and unmanned handling units, there is no need for a specific distribution center, which not only reduces the construction cost of the distribution center, but also avoids the repeated concentration and dispersion of goods. Cost, especially the transportation and distribution process without the urgent time pressure of the distribution center, all the cargo containers can be inspected and exchanged at the same time as the bus runs, reducing The error rate of the collection and distribution process also reduces the risk of the cargo box breaking due to the urgent delivery time.

The reconfigurable distributed real-time transmission and distribution system of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 8. The same parts of this embodiment and the first preferred embodiment will not be repeated in this example, and only the differences are presented. Note that in this embodiment, the sender does not need to prepare an empty standard cargo box 60' in advance, but set up a temporary storage device 2'in a specific supermarket, for example, and the posting customer goes to the aforementioned supermarket and uses, for example, delivery of pizza on the spot. The goods are put into the empty standard cargo box 60' to become the installed standard cargo box 62', and the steps of pre-packing the goods in the standard cargo box before delivery are completed. Since the temporary storage device 2'in this example has a matching image capture device 7', the storage unit 20' in the temporary storage device 2'stores a variety of standard cargo boxes 60' of different sizes for selection, whenever the temporary storage device When 2'is turned on, the image capture device will take pictures to confirm the location of the standard container used for the goods placed this time; and the temporary storage device 2'is equipped with a man-machine interface device such as a touch screen for posting The customer enters a predetermined target, such as delivery to an office building in a nearby area as posting information. Furthermore, in order to prevent the instant delivery system of the present invention from being used to transfer illegal items such as firearms, the image capturing device 7'herein may further include, for example, an X-ray camera for scanning the shape of the goods for comparison and warning.

Since each standard cargo box has a unique identification mark such as a standard code, the installed standard cargo box 62' can be clearly identified, and the temporary storage device 2'uses the wired network provided by the supermarket as a communication unit, The posting information is transmitted to the servo device for arithmetic processing to obtain a transmission and distribution solution, instructing the transport device 3'and unmanned handling unit 30' corresponding to its operating area to come and pick up the goods, and provide an empty standard goods of the same size Box to the same position of the temporary storage device. In this example, the transportation device 3'is an example of a truck, and as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the truck has a specific entrance and passage for the unmanned handling unit 30' to go up and down; the truck compartment is provided with plural The second storage unit 32', in this example, is a set of closed rails 320' to transport the upper The standard trough 322' moves, when the unmanned transport unit 30' obtains the above-mentioned installed standard cargo box 62' containing pizza from the temporary storage device 2'and enters the carriage, it will be driven by the closed track 320' corresponding to the above-mentioned receiving The standard trough 322' in the operating range of the office building rotates the standard trough 322' to a position corresponding to the unmanned handling unit 30' for the fixed installation of the standard container 62'.

The transportation device 3'is also provided with a wireless communication device 5', on the one hand, it reports its position to the servo device as transportation information, and on the other hand, it reports the payload status of each standard trough 322' in the carriage as the payload information. During the traveling of the transport device 3', with the assistance of the closed track 320', the unmanned handling unit 30' constantly rearranges the standard trough 322' of each second storage unit 32' to be transported to the same or related connection operation The actual installed standard containers 62' in the area are grouped into the same or similar standard trough 322'; and at the same time, through the transmission and distribution solution provided by the servo device, they are ready to drive to the next temporary storage device 2'location The required empty standard cargo container 60' is thereby interchanged with the actual standard cargo container 62' in the next temporary storage device 2', for subsequent use by the subsequent posting customers. Of course, as those skilled in the art can easily understand, the temporary storage device 2'in this embodiment is provided with a communication unit. In addition to communicating with the servo device, it can also choose to communicate with a transport device or an unmanned handling unit for communication and information. exchange.

When the transport device 3'arrives at the intersection of the operation area, the unmanned handling unit 30' puts the empty standard cargo container 60' and the actual standard cargo container 62' to be exchanged in its standard slot, and then the transport device 3' Get off the hydraulic lifting platform at the rear of the vehicle and drive to another transportation device in the corresponding operating area. In this example, the unmanned handling unit is not exchanged, but the unmanned handling unit coming from the opposite transportation device enters the vehicle for unloading. After the cargo boxes are exchanged, they return to their original transport devices. Since all the transmission and distribution processes are scattered in the intersections, the transmission and distribution system of the present invention does not necessarily have to set up an exclusive collection and distribution center, but can arrange transportation equipment first during driving. Set all the standard cargo boxes 62' on 3'and report them to the servo device. In this way, even if the consignee informs the servo device that the place to pick up the pizza must be changed to the front of the office building, the consignee can directly pick it up from the unmanned handling unit 30', and the delivery solution can be changed immediately and cooperate with the consignee. Demand. This will almost completely eliminate the failure of posting, improve the delivery success rate and reduce costs.

Of course, the various truck configuration arrangements and wireless communication device structures in the above embodiments are not the limitations of the present invention. It can even integrate passenger buses with fixed routes, for example, to convert part of its space into a cargo area, and allow bus passengers to make reservations. For example, the meal is boarded on the bus at the same time as the passengers at the appropriate time, and the bus passengers who are off work can directly pick up the meal and get off the bus to go home. In addition, the update steps of the posting information are not limited to the arrangement position of the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the speed of sending and receiving information and calculation of the servo device is very fast, this part of the loop calculation is constantly being executed, which is related to the operation of the transportation device or unmanned operation. There is no clear sequence between the steps of receiving and delivering the handling unit.

In summary, the reconfigurable decentralized transmission and distribution system and its transmission and distribution method provided by the present invention, through the decentralized transmission and distribution method, can save the logistics industry from setting up cargo distribution centers and massive sorting equipment The fixed cost to avoid the goods must be delivered to the distribution center for sub-inspection, to reduce the amount of centralized sub-inspection, not only to reduce the error rate, but also to avoid the drop damage caused by the urgent sub-inspection. The posted goods get the standard container Good storage and stable transportation of unmanned handling units ensure that the goods are safe and free from misdelivery. In particular, the reconfigured distributed transmission and distribution system allows the posting customers and recipients to post and receive their goods at their convenient time and location. Furthermore, through the wireless network and the real-time update of the computing unit With the distribution solution, the logistics industry can quickly and accurately access and transfer or change the destination address and delivery time in real time, greatly reducing the cost of repeated distribution that cannot be received, and greatly improving the efficiency of receiving and delivering goods, resulting in a revolutionary The improvement.

Those who are familiar with this technical field should be able to use the implementation modes disclosed in the embodiments to easily adjust and combine them without undue experimentation. However, the above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. In this way, the scope of implementation of the present invention is limited, and all simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
