技术领域
本公开涉及自动化设备技术领域，尤其涉及一种货柜及自动售货系统。
背景技术
目前，新型的无人零售货柜，使用手机扫码开门，关门自动支付，其识别商品的方式有多种，但体验感较好的当属图像识别商品，相对于二维码标签、RFID标签和重力传感器等方式，图像识别有以下优势：1、相对于RFID标签方式，图像识别摆放的商品无需增加标签，不额外增加商品成本；2、相对于重力传感器方式，图像识别的方式不指定商品摆放位置，补货员可以将商品随意摆放在任一个搁架上，且不改变用户的使用习惯，用户拿起商品后可以随意放回到其他位置，不会因为改变商品的位置而导致商品结算错误；3、相对于二维码标签扫码的方式，图像识别的结算方式简单快速，关门即结算，无需扫描商品二维码进行支付。故而图像识别是商家一直努力的方向之一，其中商家最需要解决的难题就是如何提高图像识别的识别率。
而货柜内图像识别的识别率的高低，将直接影响用户的体验感。特别的，商品货柜为了吸引用户购买，同时让用户一目了然货柜内商品的种类，其门体一般为透明玻璃，而外界的光线强度会随着昼夜、天气等强弱不一，不同强度的光线照射进入货柜内，会使得货柜内的摄像头拍摄出来的图像光线差异较大，图片的亮度不一将直接影响图像识别和比对的效果，进一步降低图像识别的识别率，造成商品结算缓慢或结算错误的问题。

具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图，对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本公开的一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本公开保护的范围。
实施例一
如图1至图2所示，一方面，本公开实施例提供了一种货柜，包括：
箱体1，一侧开口且内部设有储物空间；
门体2，与箱体1可转动连接，以能打开或封闭开口；
图像拍摄装置，包括摄像头组件6和光线强度可调节的灯组件7，摄像头组件6和灯组件7均设于由箱体1与门体2共同构成的封闭的空间内；
控制器，分别与摄像头组件6和灯组件7连接；控制器调节灯组件7的光线强度，并控制摄像头组件6拍摄放置在储物空间内的物品。
具体地，货柜包括箱体1及门体2，箱体1内被配置为放置待售卖的物品，在本实施例中，箱体1的前侧开口，门体2可转动地连接在箱体1的前侧开口处，以符合用户的使用习惯；同时，用户仅需拉开门体2，即可方便拿取所要购买的目标物品，结构简单，设计合理。
进一步的，本申请提供的货柜，在由箱体1与门体2构成的封闭的空间内设有摄像头组件6和灯组件7，即摄像头组件6和灯组件7可根据实际需求设置在箱体1上或门体2上均可，具体地，摄像头组件6被配置为拍摄门体2开启后的动态视频和图片，并将图像上传到服务器端，以进行图像识别及结算流程；灯组件7被配置为给货柜内的物品照明，以及摄像头组件6工作时的补光。如此，本申请采用光线强度可调节的灯组件7，能根据外部环境的光线强度实时调节光线强度，以能为摄像头组件6拍摄时提供补光，进而使得摄像头拍摄的视频或图像清晰，有效提升了图像识别的识别率，加快了整体结算时间，利于提高用户体验。
因此，本申请提供的货柜，结构简单，设计合理，生产成本低且图像识别率高，实用性强，利于进行标准化生产及推广。
根据上述技术方案，门体2的面板为遮光面板；遮光面板包括遮光玻璃，或，包括玻璃基板及贴附于玻璃基板内表面的膜层，膜层包括玻璃镀膜层和/或太阳隔热膜层。其中，玻璃基板的内表面指的是靠近箱体1内部的侧表面。
在本实施例中，遮光面板可包括如下四种技术方案的任一种，以能达到有效的遮光效果，从而使得货柜外的光线不能进入货柜内部，从而使货柜内部摄像头拍摄的图片光线差异降低，提升图像识别的识别率，同时外界可以看到货柜内部的货品，具体包括：
1)玻璃基板+玻璃镀膜层；
2)玻璃基板+太阳隔热膜层；
3)玻璃基板+玻璃镀膜层+太阳隔热膜层；
4)遮光玻璃。
其中，玻璃镀膜层，主要成分可以是聚硅氧烷，也可以是其他具有遮光透视效果的玻璃镀膜层。太阳隔热膜层为透明材质，可以是通过真空喷镀或磁控溅射技术将高导电度的铝、金、铜、银等金属制成多层至密的高隔热金属膜层，其工艺可以是涂布工艺膜、染色工艺膜或者多层磁控溅射光谱选择膜的至少一种方式。若采用遮光玻璃，无需额外进行贴膜工艺，利于提高生成效率，且美观实用，在确保用户能看清货柜内部物品的类别和数量的同时，起到有效的遮光效果。
由此，采用上述结构形式的门体2具有较优的遮光效果，当货柜外光线强弱不一时，内部摄像头拍摄的图片组的光线不会受外界影响，可以降低光线对于图像识别的影响，从而间接提升图像识别的识别率；另外，也能反射光线和热能，并可将太阳光中的红外线、紫外线及可见光热能反射回去，从而产生反射光线和隔热的效果，节能环保，减少制热/制冷费用。
根据上述技术方案，箱体1内设有至少一层被配置为放置物品的搁架5，摄像头组件6包括多个均与控制器连接的摄像头，多个所述摄像头按预设方式设于箱体1内，以形成覆盖所有物品的全视角。其中，预设方式可根据实际需求按阵列分布、对称式分布或不规则分布在箱体1内。
在本实施例中，为便于箱体1内物品摆放的美观性及多样性，在箱体1内设有多个搁架5，摄像头组件6包括多个摄像头，多个摄像头可以安装在箱体1内的任意位置，仅需满足使得所有摄像头的视角范围能覆盖所有搁架5上的物品即可，以便于后续服务器判断用户购买物品的类型及数量。
根据上述技术方案，摄像头设于每个搁架5的顶部，且摄像头向下倾斜设置，以使得摄像头的视角范围能覆盖住下层搁架5上的所有物品。
为提高箱体1内部的整体美观性且不遮挡物品，在本实施例中，将摄像头设于每个搁架5的顶部，并将摄像头向下倾斜一定角度，在灯组件7的配合下，能清晰拍摄下层搁架5上的物品图像。
为便于安装，摄像头可通过结构件固定在搁架5上，如此，固定在该搁架5上的摄像头被配置为拍摄下一层搁架5上的物品图像；另外，摄像头也可通过结构件固定在箱体1顶面，且摄像头向下倾斜一定角度，以使得处于最顶层搁架5上的物品图像位于该摄像头的视角范围内。其中，结构件可以为卡扣件，结构简单，设计合理且固定效果好。
根据上述技术方案，灯组件7包括多个均与控制器连接的照明灯，多个照明灯对应于物品设置在箱体1内。
在本实施例中，灯组件7包括多个照明灯，且每个照明灯均与控制器连接，由此，控制器可根据实际所需来调节各个照明灯的光线强度；且为使得具有良好的补光效果，将多个照明灯对应于物品设置在箱体1内，在保证为货柜提供照明的同时，也能为摄像头组件6提供有效的补光效果，利于确保拍摄到的图像清晰，进而有效提高了图像识别率。
根据上述技术方案，当搁架5的层数为两个以上时，多个照明灯设于相邻两层搁架5之间或多个照明灯连成一条灯带，灯带自上而下设置，以能照射各层搁架5上的物品。
为保证达到较优的补光效果及进一步提升图像识别的识别率，可采用在相邻两个搁架5之间且在箱体1的内壁上设有照明灯的方式，可根据实际实施条件来增加或减少照明灯的数量，灵活性强；其中，为避免光影，设于相邻两个搁架5之间的照明灯可对称设于箱体1内壁两侧；
也可采用将多个照明灯连成一条灯带，灯带自上而下设置，将灯带的 上端安装至最顶层搁架5的顶部，下端安装至最底层搁架5的底部，进而以能覆盖最顶层搁架5和最底层搁架5，安装简便，照明效果好，也利于提高安装效率。
具体地，可根据实际实施条件来合理选择照明灯的设置方式。
根据上述技术方案，进一步地，还包括安装在箱体1上的智能锁3，智能锁3与控制器连接，控制器通过智能锁3控制门体2的打开并检测关门信号；还包括设置在箱体1外部的购买启动件，购买启动件与控制器连接；其中，购买启动件包括启动按键或购买系统接入码。
具体地，当用户需购买货柜内的物品时，用户可按动启动按键或拿出移动智能终端扫描设置在箱体1外部的购买系统接入码，访问服务器，服务器控制控制器打开智能锁3，用户即可拉开门体2，选择物品后取出，关门；此时，摄像头开始拍摄每个搁架5上的物品图片，并上传到服务器，服务器将所接收的图片进行处理分析后进行图像识别，结合上次关门时的物品图片，识别到每个搁架5减少的物品品类和数量，并发送给结账系统进行结账扣款。
根据上述技术方案，进一步地，还包括与控制器连接的光敏传感器，光敏传感器设于箱体1内。
为进一步地提高货柜的自动化水平，在箱体1内还设有与控制器连接的光敏传感器，根据光敏传感器检测到的货柜内部光强可以进行进一步调整灯组件7的亮度；具体来说，当光敏传感器检测到货柜内部光线较亮时，控制器控制调暗灯组件7的亮度；反之，当光敏传感器检测到货柜内部光线较暗时，控制器控制灯组件7的亮度调高，既而能达到较优的照明效果和补光效果。
其中，光敏传感器的数量及安装位置不均做限定，仅需满足能有效检测货柜内部光强的作用即可。
根据上述技术方案，进一步地，还包括密封条，密封条设置于门体2或箱体1上；当门体2关闭时，密封条位于门体2与箱体1的闭合缝处。
为防止冷气/热气外漏，需对门体2关闭后的箱体1和门体2进行密封，其中，密封条可以设置在箱体1上，也可以设置在门体2上；在本实施例中，密封条为设置在门体2上的门封条8，结构简单，设计合理，也能有 效防止冷量或热量损失，节能环保，确保减少制热/制冷费用。
进一步地，本申请提供的货柜，在门体2上安装有门把手4，便于用户拉开门体2，结构简单，生产成本低且用户体验好。
另一方面，本申请还提供了一种自动售货系统，包括服务器和所述的货柜，服务器与货柜的控制器连接，且服务器设置有终端访问接口。
具体地，当用户按动启动按键或拿出移动智能终端扫描设置在箱体1外部的购买系统接入码时，访问服务器，服务器控制货柜的控制器打开智能锁，并在检测到关门信号后执行结算流程。本申请提供的自动售货系统，因设置有上述技术方案中的货柜，因而具有上述技术方案的全部有益效果，为避免赘述，不再重复。
实施例二
与上述实施例一的技术方案相比，区别在于：门体的面板包括透明面板或半透明的面板。
具体地，在本实施例中，门体包括门框及嵌设于门框内的面板，面板的透视程度可根据实际实施需求选择透明或半透明，以便于用户可以看见箱体内的待售物品的重量及数量。其中，面板可采用玻璃材质制成，外形美观且价格低廉，同时因玻璃不易随温度的变化而发生相应的化学变化，利于确保箱体内物品的品质及提高用户体验。
其它技术方案与实施例一的相同，为避免赘述，不再重复。
综上所述，本公开提供了一种货柜，包括：箱体，一侧开口且内部设有储物空间；门体，与箱体可转动连接，以能打开或封闭开口；图像拍摄装置，包括摄像头组件和光线强度可调节的灯组件，摄像头组件和灯组件均设于由箱体与门体共同构成的封闭的空间内；控制器，分别与摄像头组件和灯组件连接；控制器调节灯组件的光线强度，并控制摄像头组件拍摄放置在储物空间内的物品。本申请提供的货柜，通过设有光线强度可调节的灯组件，一方面用于给货柜内的物品进行照明，另一方面能根据外部环境的光线强度实时调节光线强度，以能为摄像头组件拍摄时提供补光，进而使得摄像头拍摄的视频或图像清晰，有效提升了图像识别的识别率，加快了整体结算时间，利于提高用户体验。同时，本申请提供的货柜，结构简单，设计合理，生产成本低且图像识别率高，实用性强，利于进行标准 化生产及推广。
最后应说明的是：以上实施例仅用以说明本公开的技术方案，而非对其限制；尽管参照前述实施例对本公开进行了详细的说明，本领域的普通技术人员应当理解：其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改，或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换；而这些修改或者替换，并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本公开各实施例技术方案的精神和范围。
