The basic idea of the invention is to: establish a connection path between a plurality of endpoints in the logistics network; the method further comprises: the transmission device automatically running on the established connection path, when the transmission device arrives After the endpoint is specified, the transport objects in the specified endpoint are loaded or unloaded.

The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

The present invention provides a method for realizing logistics transmission. FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for realizing logistics transmission according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 and simultaneously shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, the method includes the following steps:

Step 101: Establish a connection path between multiple endpoints in the logistics network.

Specifically, a connection path for carrying the transmission device is constructed in the logistics network, and the connection path may be an open track as shown in FIG. 1 or a closed pipe with an internal track as shown in FIG. 3, or as shown in FIG. The suspended rail shown in Fig. 4, or the upper and lower double rails as shown in Fig. 5, or the external passageway 10 leading to each room as shown in Fig. 6, or through the stairwell as shown in Fig. 6 The inner channel of the room 20; the passage can be laid vertically; the connecting passage is composed of a plurality of loops, a plurality of trunk roads and a plurality of branches, and the number of loops, trunks and branches can be determined according to the scope of the logistics network application The size is configured, wherein the intersection of the branch, the trunk, and the loop is called a node, and the branch can be set with multiple branches, and the branches can lead to multiple endpoints, as shown in FIG. 6, the branch can be switched to Station 30, office 40, households, merchants 50, restaurants 60, warehouses and hotel rooms, etc.;

In order to ensure that the transmission device does not collide in the path, the following methods can be used: 1. The branch to the endpoint is set to a cecum branch, so that the transmission device staying at the endpoint does not block other transmission devices on the path. Operation; Second, a single-track path can be used for a path with a small amount of transmission, and the transmission device can travel in both directions on the monorail path, and a dual-track or multi-track station-type evasation station can be configured at an appropriate position of the monorail path for meeting two The wrong driving demand of the transmission device, when there are many branches in the connection path and the distribution is relatively uniform, the branch can be used as a escaping station; Third, the path can be closed to form a loop, and the transmission device runs in one direction on the loop; The transmission amount is large and is not suitable for forming a loop, and a round-trip bidirectional path can be set; wherein the cecum branch leading to the end point can also be set as a monorail path or a reciprocating bidirectional path; Road refers to one track into the transmission device, and the other track out of the transmission device;

Here, the transmission mode and structure of the above-mentioned connection path can be selected or matched according to actual needs in the application, thereby realizing the construction of the connection path in the logistics network. For example, the loop in the connection path is a monorail path, and the connection path is The trunk road is a round-trip two-way path, or only the trunk road and the branch road exist in the connection path, there is no loop, or a certain area has a large transmission amount, and all the connection paths in the area can adopt a round-trip two-way path or the like.

Step 102: The transmission device automatically runs on the established connection path;

Specifically, if the logistics network is a grassroots logistics network, the transmission device is a closed-loaded trolley that can be automatically operated in a volume of about several tens of liters or several liters. The power source of the trolley can be self-contained or It is cheaper to rely on rails for power supply. If it is powered by rails, it is necessary to take protective measures to prevent electric shock or fire. It is best to use human body safety voltage to supply power.

The transmission device can be passively operated automatically or actively in the constructed connection path. The passive type refers to setting the destination code on the transmission device in advance, and each node of the connection path is provided with an identification device. Upon reaching the node connecting the paths, the identification device identifies the transmission device, determines the running direction of the transmission device according to the destination code, adjusts the branch and issues a command to the transmission device, so that the transmission device can correctly reach the destination through the branch. Ground. This method is similar to the operation mode of the train. The running direction is determined by moving the track on the ground. The active mode means that the transmission device can read out the branch number before entering the branch, and the transmission device operates according to the number of the read branch. According to the operation result, it is determined whether the track needs to be adjusted. If adjustment is needed, the track adjustment is performed, and the transmission device can smoothly pass through the node. If no adjustment is required, the transmission continues to operate normally, similar to a trolleybus, which can be controlled by the tram.

Step 103: When the transmitting device reaches the designated endpoint, loading or unloading the transmission object in the specified endpoint; Specifically, the transmission device automatically runs on the constructed connection path. When the transmission device reaches a specified endpoint, that is, the destination, the pre-authorized user can open the transmission device, take out the transmission object or put the transmission object, that is, The transport device loads or unloads the transport object in the specified endpoint; here, if the connection path is configured in a two-way round-trip mode, when the transport device runs from one of the orbits to the designated endpoint, after completing the loading or unloading of the transport object, if it needs to return , can be returned by the track in the other direction, so the operation of the transmission device does not conflict;

When the logistics network develops to a certain scale, each endpoint can be assigned a number, and each transmission behavior is assigned a number, similar to the express waybill number, so that the number of the endpoint can be allowed to roam as the user flows, for example, After the user travels to a certain place, the mobile phone card is inserted into the logistics network terminal of the hotel room, and the room of the hotel can send and receive the transmission object of the user;

A monitoring center can be set up in the logistics network, and the operation status of all transmission devices can be controlled and recorded at any time. If the transmission device does not arrive at the destination on time, the monitoring center can issue an alarm to indicate that the connection path may have a problem; the monitoring center can receive the endpoint. Or other logistics application system to initiate business application and notification information through the network; here, the monitoring center can also be classified, and the monitoring centers at all levels can communicate and supervise each other to ensure that local failure will not affect global monitoring. In addition, a marker can be configured on the transmission device for storing data such as the number of each transmission behavior, and providing data or receiving data for the reader or the reader on the endpoint, the specific location of the transmission device It can be reported to the monitoring center through the detectors of the branches or endpoints, or the transmission device can actively report its specific location or transmit data to the monitoring center through carriers or the like;

The grass-roots logistics network is suitable for the transmission area of a city area with a radius of several hundred meters, and the carrier can be put down. In order to be able to transmit more distant transmission objects, or when the transmission object is large, an advanced logistics network can be constructed. The difference between the grassroots logistics network is that it has a larger connection path. The transmission device used is a container truck. The intersection of the advanced logistics network and the grassroots logistics network is called an exchange station. The exchange station is the end point of the advanced logistics network. The exchange station is also the marshalling station of the cargo trolley of the grassroots logistics network. After the group of the trolleys is put into the container truck, the size of the trolley can be several liters or tens of liters. Therefore, it can ensure that the loading vehicle can be loaded with more cargo trolleys and improve the efficiency of the loading truck. In practical applications, because the trolley is limited by the form of the guide rail, generally only the length of the trolley is changed, and the width and width of the trolley are not changed. At the same time, the exchange station is also the destination of large transmission objects. When the logistics network is in the initial stage, it is difficult to establish a multi-level logistics network higher than the primary logistics network. At this time, the exchange station can be used as a docking interface between the logistics network and other logistics methods.

In order to achieve the above method, the present invention also provides a system for implementing a logistics transmission, the system comprising: a path establishing unit, a connecting path, and a transmitting device;

a path establishing unit, configured to establish a connection path between the plurality of endpoints in the logistics network; and a connection path for carrying the transmission device;

Monitoring center, used to control and record the running status of all transmission devices at any time; when the transmission device does not arrive at the destination on time, an alarm is issued, indicating that there may be a problem in the connection path; data for storing the number of each transmission behavior, etc. A detector on the vicinity of the branch or a reader on the endpoint provides data; wherein the specific location of the transmission device is reported to the monitoring center by the detector of each branch or endpoint.

The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included. Within the scope of protection of the present invention.
