本申请引用于2018年07月10日提交的专利名称为“一种自动售货机及其控制方法”的第2018107513092号中国专利申请，其通过引用被全部并入本申请。
技术领域
本公开涉及商业自动化设备技术领域，具体涉及一种自动售货机及其控制方法。
背景技术
随着工业技术以及物联网技术的发展，自动售货机作为一种商业零售形式得到越来越广泛的应用。
目前，为了吸引用户购买商品，自动售货机的门体大都采用全部透明或者部分透明的门体，使用户一目了然看到自动售货机内的商品。同时，采用摄像头拍摄用户取货后搁架上的商品图像，将用户取货后的商品图像与取货前的商品图像进行比较，获得用户购买的商品以及数量，从而进行结算。由于采用上述门体，上述门体会反射出自动售货机内商品的影像，在摄像头进行拍摄的时候，当拍摄出来的图像会包括门体反射的商品的影像时，会导致后续的图像识别错误。此外，由于自动售货机的外部的光线强度会随着昼夜、天气等发生变化，不同强度的光线照射进入自动售货机内，会使摄像头拍摄出来的图像亮度差异较大，图像亮度的不同将直接影响图像识别和比较的准确性。

下文的公开提供了许多不同的实施例或例子用来实现本公开的不同结构。为了简化本公开的公开，下文中对特定例子的部件和设置进行描述。当然，它们仅仅为示例，并且目的不在于限制本公开。此外，本公开可以在不同例子中重复参考数字和/或字母。这种重复是为了简化和清楚的目的，其本身不指示所讨论各种实施例和/或设置之间的关系。另外，以下描述的第一特征在第二特征之“上”的结构可以包括第一和第二特征形成为直接接触的实施例，也可以包括另外的特征形成在第一和第二特征之间的实施例，这样第一和第二特征可能不是直接接触。在本公开的描述中，需要说明的是，除非另有规定和限定，术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解，例如，可以是机械连接或电连接，也可以是两个元件内部的连通，可以是直接相连，也可以通过中间媒介间接相连，对于本领域的普通技术人员而言，可以根据具体情况理解上述术语的具体含义。
图1是本公开一实施例提供的自动售货机的结构示意图，如图1所示，本公开提供的自动售货机，包括箱体1、搁架2、图像采集装置3、控制装置、门体4、门体传感器、通信装置、照明灯5和电源装置，其中：
门体4为透明门体，在门体4内侧设置调光膜6，调光膜6覆盖门体4的透明部分；其中，调光膜6为液晶显示功能薄膜，在调光膜6通电时，在电场作用下调光膜6中的高分子液晶材料有序排列且与电流方向一致，可以使光线透过，此时调光膜6呈现透明和透光状态，购买者可以通过门体4看到搁架2上放置的商品；在调光膜6断电时，调光膜6中的高分子液晶材料无序排列，光线在调光膜6中内反复折射，使光线无法穿透调光膜6，此时调光膜6呈现不透明状态，能够阻挡和反射门体4外的光线进入箱体1内。
在箱体1内设置至少一层搁架2，图像采集装置3与搁架2对应设置，并与所述通信装置相连，图像采集装置3被配置为拍摄对应的搁架，获得搁架2的图像信息，并将所述图像信息通过所述通信装置上传至服务器。其中，所述通信装置通过有线或者无线网络与所述服务器建立连接。
所述门体传感器与所述控制装置相连，被配置为检测门体4的开启和关闭，照明灯5与图像采集装置3对应设置，被配置为在图像采集装置3拍摄时进行补光，由于在调光膜6断电之后，图像采集装置3进行拍摄，需要设置与各个图像采集装置3对应的照明灯，以便获得清晰的搁架2的图像信息。
所述控制装置分别与调光膜6、所述通信装置和图像采集装置3连接，各个图像采集装置3、所述控制装置、调光膜6、所述门体传感器、所述通信装置、各个照明灯5分别与所述电源装置相连，从所述电源装置获得工作需要的电能。

本公开提供的自动售货机，由于在门体上设置调光膜，在调光膜断电之后，图像采集装置进行拍摄，避免了外界光线对图像采集装置拍摄的影响，同时避免了门体反射的强光点和商品的倒影，能够提高获得的图像的质量，有利于图像的识别。
在上述各实施例的基础上，进一步地，本公开提供的自动售货机还包括红外传感器，所述红外传感器设置在门体4外侧，与各个所述照明灯相连。当有所述购买者靠近门体4时，所述红外传感器可以检测到，那么发送照明触发信号至各个照明灯使各个所述照明灯开启，方便所述购买者查看搁架2上的所述商品；如果所述红外传感器检测不到购买者，那么发送熄灭触发信号至各个所述照明灯使各个所述照明灯熄灭，从而节约电能。
