承上所述,第一路徑預估耗電參數是計算無人載物車300走完第一取物路徑P1之距離長度的耗電量計算參數,其中,雖然無人載物車300自第二無人車停放區SA2移動至第二商品位置C2(第一取物位置)時,沒有承載任何商品,但由於無人載物車300本身有一定之重量,因此第一路徑預估耗電參數可以是由第一取物路徑P1之距離長度與無人載物車300本身之重量所計算而得。Continuing from the above, the estimated power consumption parameter of the first path is a power consumption calculation parameter for calculating the length of the distance for the
第二路徑預估耗電參數是計算無人載物車300走完第二取物路徑P2之距離長度的耗電量計算參數,其中,由於無人載物車300從第二商品位置C2(第一取物位置)出發時,已承載第一待取商品(第二商品),因此第二路徑預估耗電參數之計算是將第二取物路徑P2之距離長度與第二商品重量以及無人載物車300本身之重量進行計算而得。The second path estimated power consumption parameter is a power consumption calculation parameter for calculating the length of the distance for the
目的地路徑預估耗電參數是計算無人載物車300走完目的地移動路徑P3之距離長度的耗電量計算參數,其中,由於無人載物車300從第一商品位置C1(第二取物位置)出發時,已承載第一待取商品(第二商品)與第二待取商品(第一商品),因此目的地路徑預估耗電參數之計算是將目的地移動路徑P3之距離長度與第一商品重量、第二商品重量以及無人載物車300本身之重量進行計算而得。The estimated power consumption parameter of the destination path is a power consumption calculation parameter for calculating the length of the distance for the
舉例而言,第一取物路徑P1之距離長度例如為100公尺,第二取物路徑P2之距離長度例如為100公尺,目的地移動路徑P3之距離長度例如為150公尺,無人載物車300本身之重量為5kg,第一商品重量為1kg,第二商品重量為2kg,因此第一路徑預估耗電參數例如是5kg x 100m,第二路徑預估耗電參數例如是7kg x 100m,目的地路徑預估耗電參數例如是8kg x 150m;此外,在本實施例中,無人載物車300之電力消耗例如是每1%電量可以負載1kg移動100m,因此第一路徑預估耗電參數之5kg x 100m約消耗5%電力,第二路徑預估耗電參數之7kg x 100m約消耗7%電力,而目的地路徑預估耗電參數之8kg x 150m約消耗12%電力,故預估需求電量為24%電力。For example, the distance length of the first picking path P1 is, for example, 100 meters, the distance length of the second picking path P2 is, for example, 100 meters, and the distance length of the destination moving path P3 is, for example, 150 meters. The weight of the

舉例而言,二無人載物車200之電量分別為60%與80%,而二無人載物車300之電量分別為70%與50%,其中由於預估需求電量為24%電力,因此無人載物車200與300皆符合需求,因此是將最接近第二商品位置C2之無人載物車300定義為指定無人載物車。此外,在實務運用上,電量比對單元261在評估無人載物車200或300之電量時,除了需考慮是否滿足預估需求電量外,還需要額外滿足基本運作電量,例如本實施例之預估需求電量為24%,而基本運作電量為10%,則派出的無人載物車200或300便需要具有34%以上的電力。For example, the electricity of the two

The moving path P3, the weight of the first product and the weight of the second product calculate an estimated power consumption parameter of the destination path, and then estimate the power consumption parameter of the first path, the estimated power consumption parameter of the second path and the estimated destination path according to the estimated power consumption parameter of the first path. The power consumption parameter calculates an estimated demand power.
步驟S106是依據預估需求電量派遣指定無人載物車依序沿第一取物路徑P1、第二取物路徑P2以及目的地移動路徑P3依序移動至第一取物位置、第二取物位置以及目的地。Step S106 is to dispatch the designated unmanned vehicle according to the estimated power demand to sequentially move to the first fetching position and the second fetching path along the first fetching path P1, the second fetching path P2 and the destination moving path P3. location and destination.
綜上所述,由於使用者在使用現有的無人載物車時,並不會特別去考量無人載物車的電量而隨意地逛商場,導致無人載物車在使用的期間很容易突然發生電量不足的問題,進而無法順利地執行購物作業,甚至需要其他工作人員來協助,非常的不便;相較於此,本發明主要是提供購物介面供使用者選購出第一商品與第二商品,然後再依據第一商品與第二商品之位置以及無人載物車之位置來規劃出取物順序與路徑,並據以計算出預估需求電量,進而據以派遣電量適合的無人載物車沿第一取物路徑、第二取物路徑與目的地移動路徑移動,藉此,本發明可以依據所需電量排遣出適合的無人載物車,進而確保無人載物車有足夠的電量可以完成整個購物路徑的移動,還能使無人載物車可以自行回原點充電而不需增加其他工作人員的作業。To sum up, because the user does not particularly consider the power of the unmanned vehicle when using the existing unmanned vehicle, and visits the shopping mall at will, it is easy for the unmanned vehicle to suddenly generate electricity during the use of the vehicle. Insufficient problem, and then the shopping operation cannot be performed smoothly, and even other staff are required to assist, which is very inconvenient. Compared with this, the present invention mainly provides a shopping interface for the user to select the first product and the second product. Then, according to the position of the first commodity and the second commodity and the position of the unmanned vehicle, plan the order and route of picking up the goods, and calculate the estimated demand power accordingly, and then dispatch the unmanned vehicle with suitable power along the way. The first picking path, the second picking path and the destination moving path move, whereby the present invention can dispatch a suitable unmanned vehicle according to the required power, thereby ensuring that the unmanned vehicle has enough power to complete the entire operation. The movement of the shopping path can also enable the unmanned vehicle to return to the origin to charge itself without increasing the work of other staff.
藉由以上較佳具體實施例之詳述,係希望能更加清楚描述本發明之特徵與精神,而並非以上述所揭露的較佳具體實施例來對本發明之範疇加以限制。相反地,其目的是希望能涵蓋各種改變及具相等性的安排於本發明所欲申請之專利範圍的範疇內。Through the detailed description of the preferred embodiments above, it is hoped that the features and spirit of the present invention can be described more clearly, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by the preferred embodiments disclosed above. On the contrary, the intention is to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements within the scope of the claimed scope of the present invention.
