如图1所示,为本公开用于服务无人物流配送载具的配送站点的一些实施例的外部结构示意图。结合图2所示的内部结构示例,本实施例的用于服务无人物流配送载具的配送站点包括:建筑物1、货物传送装载装置和货物调度装置。其中,建筑物1具有实体的外部结构,其具有载具停放空间。载具停放空间用于停靠至少包括无人物流配送飞行器5和无人物流配送地面车辆4的无人物流配送载具,其较于采用单一类型载具,例如仅使用无人物流配送飞行器进行配送的方式更加灵活,适用性更强。
货物传送装载装置设置在建筑物1内,其功能是自动将待配送货物传送并装载到停放在载具停放空间的被分配的无人物流配送载具上。货物调度装置则至少包括两方 面功能,一方面是为待配送货物分配对应的无人物流配送载具;另一方面是向所述无人物流配送载具提供指导所述无人物流配送载具进行配送的引导信息,以便所述无人物流配送载具根据所述引导信息对待配送货物进行自动配送。
在本实施例中,对于处于待配送状态的货物,载具停放空间中如果有适合的无人物流配送载具,则货物调度装置则可以自动进行待配送货物与无人物流配送载具之间对应关系的分配。通过分配,使得货物传送装载装置得以将待配送货物传送到载具停放空间,并装载在被分配的无人物流配送载具的装载空间中。需要说明的是,对于不同的货物传送装载装置来说,待配送货物可以为单个或多个。例如对于承载重量一般的无人物流配送飞行器来说,可装载单个待配送货物,而对于承载重量较大的无人物流配送地面车辆来说,则可以装载多个待配送货物后再行配送。
对于无人物流配送载具来说,其被装载待配送货物之前、之后或同时,载具本身或者其控制端也将接收到对应的引导信息,使得无人物流配送载具自行的离开配送站点,前往待配送的地点进行送货工作,并在完成送货工作后可自行返回或去往下一地点。在配送站点内,由于向无人物流配送载具的货物传送和无人物流配送载具对待配送货物的配送都无需人工参与,因此在极大程度上降低了人力成本,也提升了物流配送效率。
建筑物1中的载具停放空间包括多个停放区域,多个停放区域根据无人物流配送载具的类型设置在建筑物1的不同楼层和/或隔间。多个停放区域可以实现数量为多个和/或种类为多个的无人物流配送载具的停放。而为了方便分配货物的传送,可选按照载具类型将无人物流配送载具设置到不同的楼层,也可以设置到同层但分隔的隔间中。以无人物流配送载具的两种类型为例,即无人物流配送载具包括无人物流配送飞行器5和无人物流配送地面车辆4。考虑到这两种载具的运行特点,可选将无人物流配送飞行器5和无人物流配送地面车辆4分别设置在建筑物1的不同楼层,以避免不同类型载具的运行冲突以及内部结构设计难度的增加。
在图1中所示出的配送站点的建筑物1为独立建筑物。而在其他实施例中,建筑物1也可以为建筑群组,在建筑群组中包括多个建筑单元。这些建筑单元中的相邻建筑单元之间设有连接通道。建筑群组中的各个建筑单元可以具有多个楼层,且连接通道设于相邻建筑单元的部分楼层之间。而无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域可以位于多个楼层中除地面层之外的其他楼层的建筑物内部、顶部、外侧延伸部分和/或连接通道上,以满足更多无人物流配送飞行器5并发配送的需求。对于建筑群组来说,其中 的至少部分的建筑单元设有供所述无人物流配送载具进入和离开的通道。
参考图2,在建筑物1中设有多个楼层,而载具停放空间中的多个停放区域则位于建筑物1的至少两个楼层。无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域可位于至少两个楼层中的顶层。无人物流配送地面车辆4的停放区域可位于至少两个楼层中的地面层。
对于无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域来说,为了方便无人物流配送飞行器5的进入和离开,可以在顶层设置用于连通外部和无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域的无人机通道。无人机通道可以设置在顶层的侧壁或外延部分,还可选设置在建筑物屋顶上,以简化通道结构。并且,在无人机通道内可进一步设置能够自动开启或关闭无人机通道的第一自动门3。该自动门可按照指令来开启和关闭无人机通道,也可以通过感应载具的方式来开启和关闭无人机通道。
为了提高配送效率,无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域和无人机通道均可设置为多个。各个无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域与各个无人机通道可具有对应关系,以降低无人物流配送飞行器5在建筑物内调配的难度。无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域和无人机通道的数量可以相同,也可以不同,其对应关系可以根据需要进行调整。
对于多个无人机通道来说,至少两个无人机通道的通道截面形状和/或尺寸可以不同,以适应不同类型/尺寸的无人物流配送飞行器5,从而增加可适用的无人物流配送飞行器5的型号。在另一些实施例中,多个无人机通道中的每个无人机通道的通道截面形状和尺寸可以均相同。
载具停放空间中的多个停放区域位于多个楼层,其中无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域可以位于多个楼层中除地面层之外的其他楼层的建筑物内部、顶部和/或外侧延伸部分。而外侧延伸部分可以设置成相对于所在楼层固定的形式。在另一些实施例中,也可以通过伸缩或旋转的方式收入建筑物1的内部,以便根据需要选择伸出或收回无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域。
对于无人物流配送地面车辆4的停放区域来说,为了方便无人物流配送地面车辆4的进入和离开,可以在地面层设置用于连通外部和无人物流配送地面车辆4的停放区域的无人车通道。无人车通道可以位于地面层的建筑物侧壁上,并且在无人车通道内可进一步设置能够自动开启或关闭无人车通道的第二自动门2。该自动门能够按照指令来开启和关闭无人车通道,也可以通过感应载具的方式来开启和关闭无人车通道。
为了提高配送效率,无人物流配送地面车辆4的停放区域和无人车通道均为多个。 各个无人物流配送地面车辆4的停放区域与各个无人车通道可具有对应关系,以降低无人物流配送地面车辆4在建筑物内调配的难度。无人物流配送地面车辆4的停放区域和无人车通道的数量可以相同,也可以不同,其对应关系可以根据需要进行调整。为了方便设置多个相互无冲突的无人车通道,建筑物1的周向侧壁轮廓横截面为圆形或凸多边形,无人车通道分别设置在建筑物侧壁的多个方向上。
对于多个无人车通道来说,多个无人车通道中至少有两个所述无人车通道的通道截面形状和/或尺寸不同,以适应不同类型/尺寸的无人物流配送地面车辆4,从而增加可适用的无人物流配送地面车辆4的型号。在另一些实施例中,多个无人车通道中的每个无人车通道的通道截面形状和尺寸可以均相同。
此外,建筑物1内可以设置专用于载具充能的区域,无人物流配送载具可自行到该区域或被引导到该区域进行充能。在另一些实施例中,也可以直接在多个停放区域中的至少部分停放区域设置自动充能装置,来给停放在该停放区域的无人物流配送载具进行自动充能。换句话说,当无人物流配送载具停放到位后即可自动充能,省去了充能操作的人力,也使得无人物流配送载具在更多的时间内处于可用状态。
自动充能装置可以根据无人物流配送载具所使用能量的类型进行设置,例如自动补充化石能、电能、蒸汽能、氢能等。考虑到现有的无人物流配送载具多为电能驱动,因此自动充能装置可采用自动充电器,其能够在检测无人物流配送载具停放到位后通过有线或无线方式对无人物流配送载具进行自动充电。
对于配送站点来说,其除了要进行货物的配送之外,其也可接收待配送货物。例如,批量性地接收大量的待配送货物,再由自身完成单件或少数件货物的配送工作。为了实现待配送货物的接收,可以在所述建筑物1中进一步设置货物接收装置。该货物接收装置能够从来自外部的配送单元接收单个或批量的待配送货物。外部的配送单元可以具体包括来自外部的配送车、来自外部的无人物流配送载具、来自外部的配送干线飞机或与外部连接的固定式货物传送机构中的至少一种。
对于外部的配送单元包括来自外部的配送车的情况,在建筑物1中可以设置外部批量配送通道。外部批量配送通道用于停靠来自外部的配送车。货物接收装置能够从停靠的配送车上接收批量送入的待配送货物。来自外部的配送车可以为有人或无人配送车辆,其可以定期或根据站点的存储情况进行待配送货物的调配。
当外部的配送车对接到建筑物1的货物接收装置时,货物接收装置即可从配送车上接收批量送入的待配送货物,并将待配送货物存入建筑物1内部,或者将待配送货 物分拣到无人物流配送载具中。货物接收装置可以包括设置在外部批量配送通道内的轨道和驱动机构,利用轨道与停靠的配送车对接配合,以便在驱动机构的作用下沿轨道接收配送车内的货物或者承装货物的货架。在外部批量配送通道中可以设置能够自动开启或关闭外部批量配送通道的第三自动门4。第三自动门4可以在接收到指令时开启或关闭,也可以在感应到外部的无人或有人配送车到达时开启,以便配送车能够停靠到位,从而实现配送车与货物接收装置的轨道的对接。在接收货物的同时,货物调度装置可以对货物进行批量入站登记。
对于外部的配送单元包括来自外部的无人物流配送载具的情况,来自外部的无人物流配送载具包括无人物流配送飞行器和/或无人物流配送地面车辆。在本实施例中,无人物流配送飞行器和/或无人物流配送地面车辆既可以向配送站点输入待配送货物,也可以从配送站点将待配送货物输出到配送目的地。为了节省配送站点的内部空间和通道,可以使来自外部的无人物流配送载具能够与所述建筑物1内部用于向外配送货物的无人物流配送载具共用载具停放空间。来自外部的无人物流配送载具和建筑物1内部的无人物流配送载具也可以共用供无人物流配送载具进入/离开的通道。
这些来自外部的无人物流配送载具还可以包括用于承装待配送货物的货物装载机构。在一些实施例中,货物装载机构的卸货方式是将待配送货物从货物装载机构中卸除。在另一些实施例中,可以采用连同货物装载机构和所述货物装载机构内的待配送货物一并卸除的方式,即货物装载机构能够与该来自外部的无人物流配送载具分离,相应的货物传送装载装置能够对来自外部的无人物流配送载具进行分离操作,并将分离的所述货物装载机构和所述货物装载机构内的待配送货物一并装载到停放在所述载具停放空间的被分配的无人物流配送载具上。这样卸掉货物装载机构的无人物流配送载具可立刻返程,而无需在本配送站点内停留,进而提高配送效率。
对于外部的配送单元包括来自外部的配送干线飞机的情况,建筑物1还可以相应地包括停机坪,该停机坪用于停靠来自外部的配送干线飞机,以便货物接收装置能够从停靠的所述配送干线飞机上接收批量送入的待配送货物。配送干线飞机可以向配送站点一次或多次运入大量待配送货物,也可以将其停靠的配送站点中的退换货物运回后续处理的仓库,或者根据调度要求将其停靠的配送站点中的部分货物送往另一个配送站点。
对于外部的配送单元包括外部连接的固定式货物传送机构的情况,固定式货物传送机构可以为远程的传送带,该传送带的一端可以为另一配送站点或外部运货车辆。
前面的部分实施例中提到建筑物1具有实体的外部结构,其设置有供无人物流配送载具进入和离开的通道以及外部批量配送通道。考虑到建筑物1的安全性,防止外部物体的侵入,当建筑物1的各个通道在没有无人物流配送载具进出、以及外部的配送车停靠时均为封闭状态。
在配送站点中,接收的待配送货物可以根据其站点结构、流程安排等多方面因素选择适合的分拣方式。例如,在接收的同时即进行分拣,将接收到的待配送货物通过货物传送装载装置传送并装载到被分配的无人物流配送载具上,以提高配送效率。或者,在建筑物1中暂存接收的待配送货物,然后再统筹安排对应的无人物流配送载具的分配,以协调有限的无人物流配送载具对较多货物的配送能力。对于后一种分拣方式,可在建筑物1内进一步设置货物缓存空间,用于临时存储从外部接收的待配送货物。相应的,货物传送装载装置能够根据所述货物调度装置的分配信息自动地将所述货物缓存空间中的待配送货物传送并装载到停放在所述载具停放空间的被分配的无人物流配送载具上。
在具有多个楼层的建筑物1内,载具停放空间中的多个停放区域位于至少两个楼层,而货物缓存空间可被设置在无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域所在楼层与无人物流配送地面车辆4的停放区域所在楼层之间的楼层。为了使待配送货物能够稳定顺利的装载到被分配的载具上,货物传送装载装置可包括设置在货物缓存空间与无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域之间的提升式传送机构7,和/或设置在货物缓存空间与无人物流配送地面车辆4的停放区域之间的滑道式传送机构8。提升式传送机构7以及滑道式传送机构8均可采用传送带等连续传送机构。
在另一些实施例中,货物传送装载装置也可以采用机器人或AGV小车等进行待配送货物的内部传递。例如,所述货物传送装载装置包括轮式搬运机器人(例如增加了卸货机构的AGV小车)。对于载具停放空间中的多个停放区域位于所述建筑物1的至少两个楼层的情形,所述轮式搬运机器人可运动在所述无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域所在楼层与所述无人物流配送地面车辆4的停放区域所在楼层之间的楼层。
参考图3,无人物流配送载具的停放区域所在楼层与轮式搬运机器人9的运动区域之间可通过设置在无人物流配送载具的停放区域的孔洞10进行连通,以实现待配送货物的跨层运送。轮式搬运机器人9能够根据调度指令从货物缓存空间中设置的货架12中取出待配送货物(例如图3中的包裹11等),再根据调度指令运动至对应的无人物流配送载具的停放区域对应的孔洞10附近,然后利用卸货机构将包裹11从该 孔洞10装载到无人物流配送载具上。
再参考图4,无人物流配送飞行器5的停放区域的地面可以设置与所述轮式搬运机器人9的运动区域连通的第一孔洞10a。所述轮式搬运机器人9能够将所述货物缓存空间中的待配送货物(例如包裹11等)传送到所述第一孔洞10a下方,通过提升机构14将待配送货物装载在所述无人物流配送飞行器5下方的载物机构上。图5则示出了无人物流配送地面车辆4的停放区域的上层设置与所述轮式搬运机器人9的运动区域连通的第二孔洞10b的形式。轮式搬运机器人9能够将所述货物缓存空间中的待配送货物(例如包裹11等)传送到所述第二孔洞10b的侧方,通过翻转机构13使待配送货物从第二孔洞10b落下,并装载在所述无人物流配送地面车辆4下方的载物机构上。
为了方便待配送货物从货架12上取下,参考图6,货架可以包括具有中部镂空空间的两侧支撑结构对待配送货物进行支撑。所述轮式搬运机器人能够运动到所述两侧支撑结构的下方,并通过可升高的支撑机构从所述中部镂空空间将待配送货物从所述两侧支撑结构取下。
在本实施例中,货物调度装置可以包括:货物信息获取单元、无人载具分配单元和引导信息提供单元。其中,货物信息获取单元用于获取待配送货物的相关信息。这里的待配送货物的相关信息可以包括订单信息、货物重量、目的地距离、配送地址和外形尺寸等中的至少一种。这些相关信息可在扫描货物时直接获得,或者在获得一些间接数据后通过预设算法进一步计算得到。
无人载具分配单元用于根据待配送货物的相关信息为接收到来自外部的配送单元的待配送货物和/或临时存储在所述货物缓存空间中的待配送货物分配对应的无人物流配送载具。引导信息提供单元用于根据待配送货物的相关信息向无人物流配送载具提供指导无人物流配送载具配送的引导信息,以便无人物流配送载具根据引导信息对待配送货物进行自动配送。这里的引导信息可以包括无人物流配送载具的路径规划信息,还可以包括订单信息。
对于货物调度装置来说,其还可以持续接收已外出的无人物流配送载具发送的实时位置及状态信息,并根据这些信息进一步提供引导信息。
对于外部的配送单元包括来自外部的无人物流配送载具的情况,货物信息获取单元可以包括设置在来自外部的无人物流配送载具的进入通道的信息检测装置。该信息检测装置能够通过图像识别方式或射频识别方式获取待配送货物的配送地址和/或外 形尺寸信息。所述无人载具分配单元能够根据待配送货物的配送地址和/或外形尺寸信息,直接为所述来自外部的无人物流配送载具上装载的货物进行对应的无人物流配送载具分配,以便所述货物传送装载装置自动将所述来自外部的无人物流配送载具上装载的待配送货物传送并装载到停放在所述载具停放空间的被分配的无人物流配送载具上,从而在载具进入通道处就实现了分拣环节,极大地提高了配送效率。
对于无人载具分配单元来说,其在为待配送货物分配载具时,可以考察待配送货物的目的地距离和/或重量信息,用于确定优先分配无人物流配送飞行器5或无人物流配送地面车辆4。举例来说,如果待配送货物的目的地距离超过第一预设距离阈值,则优先分配所述无人物流配送飞行器5,以利用无人物流配送飞行器5飞行速度快,越障能力强,可实现远距离送货的优势。而如果待配送货物的重量低于第一预设重量阈值,也优先分配所述无人物流配送飞行器5,以满足现有无人物流配送飞行器5运载能力有限,但来回迅速的特点。对于无人物流配送飞行器5来说,在选择其作为分配的无人物流配送载具时也可以兼顾上述目的地距离和重量信息的条件。
再举例来说,如果待配送货物的目的地距离低于第二预设距离阈值,则优先分配无人物流配送地面车辆4,以利用无人物流配送地面车辆4行驶距离较近,但运载能力强的特点。而如果待配送货物的重量超过第二预设重量阈值,则也优先分配无人物流配送地面车辆4,以利用无人物流配送地面车辆4的承载能力强的优势。对于无人物流配送地面车辆4来说,在选择其作为分配的无人物流配送载具时也可以兼顾上述目的地距离和重量信息的条件。
货物调度装置除了具备上述调度功能的功能单元之外,还可以包括退换货调配单元。该退换货调配单元用于根据接收的退换货调配指令选取无人物流配送载具,并向所述无人物流配送载具提供指导所述无人物流配送载具到达退换货地点的引导信息,以便所述无人物流配送载具根据所述引导信息去往退换货地点接收待退换货物,并运送回所述配送站点。这样就极大地节省了退换货流程所占用的人力物力。
上述用于服务无人物流配送载具的配送站点的实施例可以极大程度地减少站点内的人力使用,甚至可实现配送站点无人化,完全由配送站点自身或远程控制平台进行内部装置的工作安排。基于上述的本公开配送站点实施例,配送方法可以包括:
通过货物调度装置为待配送货物分配对应的无人物流配送载具;
通过货物传送装载装置自动将待配送货物传送并装载到停放在载具停放空间的被分配的无人物流配送载具上;
通过货物调度装置向无人物流配送载具提供指导无人物流配送载具进行配送的引导信息,以便无人物流配送载具根据引导信息对待配送货物进行自动配送。
在另一实施例中,所述建筑物1中还可以设有货物接收装置,对应的配送方法可以进一步包括:通过货物接收装置从来自外部的配送单元接收单个或批量的待配送货物。
对于外部的配送单元包括来自外部的配送车的情形,在所述建筑物1中还设有用于停靠来自外部的配送车的外部批量配送通道。相应的,通过货物接收装置从来自外部的配送单元接收单个或批量的待配送货物的操作包括:当外部的配送车停靠到所述外部批量配送通道时,通过所述货物接收装置从所述配送车上接收批量送入的待配送货物。
对于外部的配送单元包括来自外部的无人物流配送载具的情形,通过所述货物接收装置从来自外部的配送单元接收单个或批量的待配送货物的操作包括:通过所述货物接收装置从所述来自外部的无人物流配送载具接收单个或批量的待配送货物。
在另一个实施例中,建筑物1内还可设有货物缓存空间,用于临时存储从外部接收的待配送货物。相应的,通过所述货物传送装载装置自动将待配送货物传送并装载到停放在载具停放空间的被分配的无人物流配送载具上的操作具体包括:通过所述货物传送装载装置,根据所述货物调度装置的分配信息自动地将所述货物缓存空间中的待配送货物传送并装载到停放在所述载具停放空间的被分配的无人物流配送载具上。
对于外部的配送单元包括来自外部的无人物流配送载具的情形,则货物调度装置可以包括设置在所述来自外部的无人物流配送载具的进入通道的信息检测装置。通过所述货物调度装置为待配送货物分配对应的无人物流配送载具的操作可以具体包括:
通过所述信息检测装置以图像识别方式或射频识别方式获取待配送货物的配送地址和/或外形尺寸信息;
通过所述货物调度装置,根据待配送货物的配送地址和/或外形尺寸信息直接为所述来自外部的无人物流配送载具上装载的货物进行对应的无人物流配送载具分配。
相应的,通过所述货物传送装载装置自动将待配送货物传送并装载到停放在载具停放空间的被分配的无人物流配送载具上的操作可以具体包括:通过所述货物传送装载装置自动将所述来自外部的无人物流配送载具上装载的待配送货物传送并装载到停放在所述载具停放空间的被分配的无人物流配送载具上。
对于配送站点来说,其在接收到待配送货物时,可以对待配送货物的相关信息进 行获取,并可以基于获取的相关信息进行载具的分配和引导。通过货物调度装置向无人物流配送载具提供指导无人物流配送载具进行配送的引导信息的操作可以具体包括:通过货物调度装置,读取待配送货物的相关信息,并根据待配送货物的相关信息向无人物流配送载具提供指导无人物流配送载具进行配送的引导信息。
通过货物调度装置为待配送货物分配对应的无人物流配送载具的操作可具体包括:通过货物调度装置读取待配送货物的相关信息,根据待配送货物的目的地距离和/或重量信息为待配送货物优先分配无人物流配送飞行器5或无人物流配送地面车辆4。具体来说,如果待配送货物的目的地距离超过第一预设距离阈值和/或重量低于第一预设重量阈值,则优先分配无人物流配送飞行器5。如果待配送货物的目的地距离低于第二预设距离阈值和/或重量超过第二预设重量阈值,则优先分配无人物流配送地面车辆4。
为了使退换货流程更顺畅,节省人力物力,配送方法还可以进一步包括:通过所述货物调度装置,根据接收的退换货调配指令选取无人物流配送载具,并向所述无人物流配送载具提供指导所述无人物流配送载具到达退换货地点的引导信息,以便所述无人物流配送载具根据所述引导信息去往退换货地点接收待退换货物,并运送回所述配送站点。
本公开基于配送站点的配送方法的更多流程及说明可参考前述对配送站点的各实施例的实现功能及流程的说明,这里不再赘述。
最后应当说明的是:以上实施例仅用以说明本公开的技术方案而非对其限制;尽管参照较佳实施例对本公开进行了详细的说明,所属领域的普通技术人员应当理解:依然可以对本公开的具体实施方式进行修改或者对部分技术特征进行等同替换;而不脱离本公开技术方案的精神,其均应涵盖在本公开请求保护的技术方案范围当中。
