具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例对本申请的实施方式作进一步详细描述。以下实施例用于说明本申请,但不能用来限制本申请的范围。
在本申请实施例的描述中,需要说明的是,术语“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“左”、“右”、“竖直”、“水平”、“顶”、“底”、“内”、“外”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系,仅是为了便于描述本申请实施例和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本申请实施例的限制。此外,术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。
在本申请实施例的描述中,需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或一体连接;可以是机械连接,也可以是电连接;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,可以具体情况理解上述术语在本申请实施例中的具体含义。

下面结合图1和图2描述本申请实施例的无人零售柜。
无人零售柜用于智能售卖,比如售卖饮料、零食等。无人零售柜可以对待售商品进行冷藏,或者对待售商品进行加热。
如图1所示,本申请实施例的无人零售柜包括柜体110和柜门120、制冷组件130、制热组件140、温度传感器(图中未示出)以及控制器(图中未示出)。
柜门120安装于柜体110,且柜门120与柜体110共同限定出目标间室111。
目标间室111包括储物空间112和温控空间113,温控空间113位于储物空间112上部。
目标间室111是无人零售柜的密闭空间,目标间室111被柜体110和柜门120共同限定。
储物空间112的前端敞开,柜门120封闭该敞开端,用于放置待售商品。
温控空间113位于柜体110顶部,用于放置相关设备。
储物空间112与温控空间113呈竖向分布。
温控空间113与柜门120不对应,这样在开启柜门120取货放货时,用户(或维护人员)均不会用到温控空间113。
在用户使用无人零售柜的过程中,取货过程至少包括下述两种方式中的一种:
一、打开柜门120自取
用户先解锁无人零售柜的门体,比如用户可以使用移动终端扫描无人零售柜上的识别码,移动终端登录服务器,移动终端将登录请求发送给服务器,该登录请求包括无人零售柜的设备标识。
当然,还可以通过其他方式确定当前使用的无人零售柜,例如无人零售柜上设有扫描装置,可以通过扫描装置来扫描用户移动终端的识别码、扫描用户的指纹、扫描用户的掌纹、扫描用户的虹膜、扫描用户的面部等其他方式来登录。
在该实施方式中,无人零售柜可自动识别哪些商品被取走,从而进行订单确认。
在实际的执行中,可以根据图像识别或重量识别或电子标签识别等方式,确定哪些商品被取走。
以图像识别为例,无人零售柜的摄像头采集到柜门120开启前的第一图像以及柜门120开启再关闭后的第二图像,基于第二图像与第一图像识别出哪些商品被取走,从而生成的订单信息。
二、无需打开柜门120取物
用户购买无人零售柜内的待售商品时,通过选择目标商品,无人零售柜根据指令送出对应的商品到取货区,不需要解锁无人零售柜的门体即可完成取货。
用户需要先登陆并向服务器发送当前无人零售柜的设备标识。比如用户可以使用移动终端扫描无人零售柜上的识别码,移动终端登录服务器,移动终端将登录请求发送给服务器,该登录请求包括无人零售的设备标识。
当然,还可以通过其他方式登陆并与该无人零售柜关联,例如无人零售柜上可以设有扫描装置,通过扫描装置来扫描用户移动终端的识别码、扫描用户的指纹、扫描用户的掌纹、扫描用户的虹膜、扫描用户的面部等其他方式来实现用户登录。
在该实施方式中,无人零售柜可根据用户选择的目标商品,进行订单确认。
比如用户通过无人零售柜上的选择按钮确定待购买的商品,购买的商品被推送到取货区,即计入订单。
柜门120安装于柜体110,柜门120可以相对于柜体110打开或关闭。柜门120与柜体110的安装方式包括但不限于铰链连接,滑轨连接。
在一些实施例中,无人零售柜的柜门120与柜体110通过铰链连接,用户通过转动柜门120的方式打开柜门120。
在一些实施例中,无人零售柜的柜门120与柜体110通过滑轨连接,用户通过滑动柜门120的方式打开柜门120。
柜门120设置为透明结构,消费者既能看到机箱内商品实物,又可以看到商品整个出货过程。
比如门体的材质可以为钢化玻璃,以提高强度和安全度。
或者,门体的材质也可以为透明亚克力材质,降低加工难度并提高安 全性。
储物空间112由柜门120与柜体110共同限定,用于放置待售商品。
在一些实施例中,储物空间112包含置物隔板116。
置物隔板116与柜体110连接,置物隔板116对储物空间112进行空间分割,使待售商品种类摆放,实现对储物空间112的合理利用,同时利于用户挑选商品。
例如,无人零售柜用于饮料售卖,瓶装饮料分为高瓶、中瓶和低瓶。置物隔板116能够根据包装瓶体的高度,将储物空间112由下至上分为高、中和低的不同空间,实现对不同高度的瓶装饮料进行分类储存,合理利用储物空间112的内部空间。
在一些实施例中,储物空间112还包括照明设备(图中未示出)。
照明设备能够使用户在较暗环境下容易发现无人零售柜的位置,并对储物空间112内待售商品提供照明功能。
照明设备种类可以采用但不限于LED光控灯或LED声光控灯。
例如,一些实施例中,储物空间112安装LED光控灯。
当光线较强时,无人零售柜无需照明,LED光控灯受光控自锁,处于不工作状态;当环境光线变暗后,储物空间112需要照亮内部待售商品,LED光控灯会立即通电亮灯,且LED光控灯根据光线强度进行光照强度调节。
照明设备为无人零售柜提供照明功能,且采用光控灯或声光控灯也达到了节能效果。
温控空间113位于储物空间112的上部,用于放置相关设备,相关设备包括温控装置。温控装置包括制冷组件130、制热组件140、温度传感器以及控制器。
制冷组件130安装于温控空间113内,用于无人零售柜内部的制冷。
制热组件140安装于温控空间113内,用于无人零售柜内部的制热。
相关技术中,无人零售柜一般只设有制冷设备,或者制热设备,实现单制冷或单制热功能,功能较为单一。
如果无人零售柜同时设置制冷设备和制热设备,为了使无人零售柜内各个区间的温度大体均衡,本领域技术人员考虑到冷空气下沉,热空气上 升的原理,通常会将制冷设备设置于顶部,制热设备设置于底部。但是这种安装方式会大量侵占无人零售柜的有效容积,导致设备体积过大,或有效容积不足。
本申请的技术方案,制冷组件130安装于温控空间113,同时将制热组件140也安装于温控空间113,对无人零售柜的柜内净容积没有影响。
需要说明的是,相关技术中,无人零售柜考虑到不同身高的用户取货或方便看柜体内部商品,储物空间的高度一般不会高于成年人的身高,因此,储物区间的空间不会延伸至无人零售柜的顶部。
也就是说,本申请是将制热组件140安装于原本柜体110顶部内放置制冷组件130的温控空间113,并未占用柜体110的额外空间,该种设置方式不仅没有对柜体110内部的净容积产生影响,也增加制热组件140丰富了无人零售柜的功能。
柜体110的前端上方设有装饰盖板114,柜门120与装饰盖板114沿竖向分布,装饰盖板114的后方设有隔热挡板115,温控空间113位于隔热挡板115后方。
装饰盖板114设置于无人零售柜的前端,装饰盖板114设于柜门120的上端,与其沿竖分布。隔热挡板115设置于装饰盖板114的后方,温控空间113位于隔热挡板115后方。该种设置方式不仅能够实现无人零售柜安装广告屏的宣传功能,也能遮挡整个温控空间113,起到装饰作用。
在一些实施例中,装饰盖板114包括安装框和广告展示板。
安装框设置在柜体110前侧,与柜体110连接,用于安装广告展示板。
广告展示板安装在安装框上,用于展示广告内容。
需要说明的是,广告展示板具体形式至少表现为如下一种:
其一、普通广告板
普通广告板为普通板状结构。普通广告板包括但不限于KT板、PVC广告板和彩色PVC发泡板等。
普通广告版可采用粘贴、磁吸或插入等安装方式安装在安装框前侧,增加宣传效果,具有安装方便,成本低廉的优点。
其二、电子广告板
电子广告板安装于安装框的前侧,用于投放电子广告。
电子广告板包括电子显示屏。电子显示屏通过电控组件显示电子广告。电子广告板能够丰富广告的展示方式,增加宣传效果的同时提高广告的更换效率。
隔热挡板115设置于装饰盖板114的后方。隔热挡板115能够避免装饰盖板114与温控空间113直接接触,隔热挡板115在保护装饰盖板114的同时起到保温作用。
隔热挡板115优选能够阻滞温度传递的材料,本实施例中采用发泡挡板。
温度传感器安装于温控空间113。
控制器与温度传感器、制冷组件130及制热组件140电连接。控制器基于温度传感器控制制冷组件130及制热组件140。
在无人零售柜工作时,温度传感器采集温控空间113的温度值,将温度值转换为温度信号,并将温度信号发送至控制器。控制器在接收到温度信号时,控制制冷组件130或制热组件140启停。
电连接的方式可以为通过线缆的有线电连接,也可以为通过无线收发器的无线电连接。
需要说明的是,温度传感器可以安装在温控空间113的任一位置。当无人零售柜工作时,温度传感器生成目标控制信号,该信号可以通过无线或有线传输的方式发送给控制器。
控制器在接收到目标控制信号时,控制温控设备按照目标工作模式工作。在目标工作模式下,制冷组件130或制热组件140的目标温度均是实现设定好的。
例如,设定制冷模式,设定目标温度在6℃~15℃范围内,例如第一目标值设为10℃。
目标温度是用户对无人零售柜内部的预先设定的温度值。
温度传感器感知温控空间113的温度值,将温度值转换为温度信号,并将温度信号发送至控制器。
控制器接收到的温度值高于第一目标值时达到制冷组件130的开机点。控制器开启制冷组件130。
制冷组件130包括:蒸发器131、第一风机132。
蒸发器131使低温低压液态制冷剂发生蒸发过程,低温低压液态制冷剂进行吸热,变为气态,产生制冷效应。
第一风机132用于将蒸发器131产生的冷气吹出,并在柜体110内形成气体循环。
如图1所示,第一风机132设置于蒸发器131的前端,并且朝向蒸发器131。当制冷组件140工作时,第一风机132将蒸发器131产生的冷气吹出,并在柜体110内形成气体循环。
图1中的实线为第一风机132开启时柜内的气体循环路径。
本实施例中,无人零售柜设置有两个第一风机132。第一风机132设置于蒸发器131的前端,并且朝向蒸发器131,位于柜体110内部左右两侧。
需要说明的是,第一风机132数量可以根据无人零售柜的大小进行适应性设置。
本实施方式中的第一风机132为直流风机。直流风机配备直流电动机,控制简单、可靠性强。第一风机132选用直流风机能够减少无人零售柜的维修次数,并且简化无人零售柜的控制系统。
本实施方式中的第一风机132为大流量风机。大流量风机不仅能够将蒸发器131表面产生冷气吹出,还能够加速柜体110内部气体循环。
控制器开启制冷组件130,制冷组件130对无人零售柜柜体110进行制冷,具体为:控制器控制蒸发器131开启和第一风机132开启,第一风机132将蒸发器131产生的冷气吹出,形成冷气循环。
控制器接收到的温度信号低于第一目标值时达到制冷组件130的停机点。控制器控制制冷组件130停止工作。具体为:控制器控制压缩机134、蒸发器131和第一风机132停止,制冷组件130停止制冷过程。
例如,设定制热模式,设定目标温度在30℃~50℃范围内,例如第一目标值设为36℃。
温度传感器感知温控空间113温度值,将温度值转换为温度信号,并将温度信号发送至控制器。
控制器接收到的温度信号低于第一目标值时达到制热组件130的开机点。控制器开启制热组件140。制热组件140进行加热过程。
制热组件140包括:加热器141和第二风机142。
制热组件140设置在第一风机132的前端,用于对柜内空气加热。
第二风机142朝向加热器141设置,且第二风机142位于加热器141的上方。第二风机142用于在加热器141工作时,将加热器141表面的热气吹入柜体110内。
加热器141采用PTC加热器,如图2所示,包括铝管和散热条。PTC加热器具有本身表面不带电、升温速度快等优点,在柜机内部使用时能够避免触电、过热干烧等。
需要说明的是,申请人经过大量研究发现,PTC加热器在柜体内部的使用过程中,不仅能够达到柜内快速升温的效果,还能提高加热器的可靠性及安全性。
如图1所示,虚线气流循环为第二风机142开启时加热器141表面热气循环路径。
本实施例中,无人零售柜设置有两个第二风机142,第二风机142设置于加热器141的上方,位于柜体110内部左右两侧。
需要说明的是,第二风机142数量可以根据无人零售柜的大小进行适应性设置。
本实施例中,第二风机142为直流风机。
第二风机142采用直流风机,能够减少无人零售柜的维修次数,并且简化无人零售柜的控制系统。
本实施方式中的第二风机142为小流量风机。第二风机142能够将加热器141表面产生热气吹出。
制热组件140安装于制冷组件130的回风侧。
回风侧是气体循环的入口处。制冷组件130的回风侧是制冷组件130的第一风机132开启时的回风风流的入口位置。
制热组件140安装于制冷组件130的回风侧,能够使加热器141表面产生热气借助第一风机132的大流量进行热气循环,维持柜体110内部的温度均匀性。
需要说明的是,申请人经过大量研究发现,无人零售柜中仅有一组大流量风机,在不占用柜内空间的情况下,既加速制冷循环又加速加热循环, 能够降低设计及安装复杂度。
控制器开启制热组件140,具体为:控制器控制加热器141开启、第二风机142开启,第二风机142把热量把加热器141表面热量从加热器141表面吹出。
控制器接收到的温度信号高于第一目标值时,达到制热组件140的停机点,第一风机132的开机点。控制器关闭制热组件140,同时开启制冷组件130的第一风机132。
本实施例中,设定第一目标值与第二目标值的差值为在2℃~4℃时,比如3℃,到达相应停机点和开机点。
可以理解的是,该差值可设定为其他温度。
需要说明的是,在加热模式中,由于第一风机132使柜内空气对流起来后,温度传感器附近温度会降低,温度传感器采集到的温度值低于第一目标值时,达到加热组件140的开机点,控制器启动加热器141及第二风机142再次工作。以此进行加热工作循环,以实现柜内温度均匀性。
如图1所示,第一风机132的流量大于第二风机142。第二风机142的流量较小,仅能将加热器141表面产生的热气吹出,无法完成柜内整体热循环。因此在制热模式中,制热组件140借助第一风机132的大流量特性形成柜内热气循环,实现柜体110温度的均匀。
在一些实施例中,制冷组件130还包括:第一防护罩133。
第一防护罩133安装于蒸发器131和第一风机132朝向储物空间112的一侧。对设备起到保护和遮挡作用。
在一些实施例中,第一防护罩133为“一”形平面板,安装于蒸发器131和第一风机132朝向储物空间112的一侧。第一防护罩133将制冷组件130与储物空间112隔开,避免柜门120开启后,工作人员对柜体110内部作业时与蒸发器131和第一风机132接触。第一防护罩133能够对设备起到保护和遮挡作用。
在一些实施例中,第一防护罩133为“L”形面板,将蒸发器131和第一风机132朝向储物空间112的一侧和第一风机132朝向隔热挡板115的一侧同时罩住,进一步对设备起到保护和遮挡作用,同时对工作人员起到一定保护作用。
为了避免防护罩对柜体110内部空气循环的影响,第一防护罩133上分布有通孔,可进行空气流通。
第一防护罩133材料包括但不限于金属材料、无机非金属材料、有机高分子材料和复合材料。
本实施例第一防护罩133采用钣金面罩。
在一些实施例中,制热组件140还包括:第二防护罩143。
第二防护罩143安装于加热器141朝向储物空间112的一侧。对设备起到保护和遮挡作用。
在一些实施例中,第二防护罩143为“一”形平面板,用于将制热组件140与储物空间112隔开,避免柜门120开启后,工作人员对柜体110内部作业时与加热器141接触。第二防护罩143能够对设备起到保护和遮挡作用,同时对工作人员起到一定保护和遮挡作用。
在一些实施例中,第二防护罩143为“L”形面板,对制热组件140朝向储物空间112的一侧和制热组件140朝向制冷组件130的一侧同时罩住,进一步对设备起到保护作用。
在一些实施例中,第二防护罩143具有三面面板,对制热组件140朝向储物空间112的一侧、制热组件140朝向制冷组件130的一侧以及制热组件140朝向柜体110顶部的一侧同时罩住,进一步对设备起到保护作用。
为了避免防护罩对柜体110内部空气循环的影响,第二防护罩143上分布有通孔,可进行空气流通。
第二防护罩143材料包括但不限于金属材料、无机非金属材料、有机高分子材料和复合材料。
本实施例的第二防护罩143采用钣金面罩。
在一些实施例中,目标间室111还包括位于柜体110底部的机舱。机舱用于放置其它设备,包括压缩机134。
相关技术中,在无人零售柜中,如果同时设置制冷设备或制热设备,为了在制冷设备或制热设备单独工作时测量温度以及形成空气循环,温度传感器以及大功率风机会在制冷设备和制热设备中同时设置,也就是说会设置至少两组温度传感器和大功率风机。该设计方案占用柜内空间,也增加了设计、安装难度和成本。
本申请的技术方案中,加热模式时,采用制冷组件130的大功率风机和制热组件140互补,仅需一个温度传感器和一组大功率风机,可实现柜内温度均匀性更精准的控制,同时降低冷热双温柜开发成本及开发难度。
综上所述,本申请实施例的无人零售柜将制冷组件130和制热组件140同时安装于温控空间113内,不仅没有改变无人零售柜正面视觉效果及柜内净容积,还可丰富无人零售柜功能。

在该实施方式中,接收用户的第一输入,可以表现为,接收用户在无人零售柜的触控屏的触控区域的触控操作。
为了降低用户误操作率,可以将第一输入的作用区域限定在特定的区域内,比如无人零售柜工作模式界面的上部中间区域;或者在显示工作模式界面的状态下,在当前界面显示目标控件,触摸目标控件,即可实现第一输入;或者将第一输入用于在目标时间间隔内对显示区域的连续多次敲击操作。
其三,第一输入可以表现为语音输入。
在该实施方式中,无人零售柜可以在接收到语音如“制冷模式,10℃”时,触发无人零售柜的温控设备。

可以理解的是,第二目标值的温度高于目标温度值,即温度传感器检测柜体110顶部温度高于目标温度值时,关闭制热组件140,启动制冷组件130的第一风机132。
比如,本实施例中,设定第二目标值与目标温度的差值为在2℃~4℃时,比如3℃,到达相应停机点和开机点。
需要说明的是,设定第二目标值与目标温度的差值可设定为其他值。

第一控制指令用于控制制冷组件130关闭以及控制制热组件140开启。
在一些实施例中,第一控制模块,在输出用于控制制冷组件130关闭以及控制制热组件140开启的第一控制指令之后,还用于在温度值达到第二目标值的情况下,输出用于控制制热组件140关闭,且控制制冷组件130的第一风机132启动的第二控制指令。
第二控制指令用于控制制热组件140关闭,且控制制冷组件130的第一风机132启动。
在一些实施例中,第一控制模块,在输出用于控制制热组件140关闭,且控制制冷组件130的风机启动的第二控制指令之后,还用于在温度值小 于第一目标值的情况下,输出用于控制第一风机132关闭,且控制制热组件140开启的第三控制指令。
