Walking in the streets, vending machines are hard to find without us. Choose a product, then scan the code for payment (or direct coins), and then you can get what we want, which is part of our daily lives. From the vending machines, we can buy beverages, fruits, snacks, lunch boxes, etc. It can be said that everything is very convenient.
The first type of self-propelled vending machine has a lot of small grids, each grid has an independent door, select the goods in the grid, pay the back door to open automatically, the user to take out the goods.
The second type of push-type puts a row of the same product for each cell. After the customer chooses to pay for the money, it will push the item through the DC motor and drop it into the box.
However, vending machines are advancing. The above two types of vending machines now face the following problems:
1, no one sales, then how can we guarantee that the sale is genuine, especially tobacco, wine and other more expensive goods? How to ensure that the products sold are shelf-life products, some products with shorter shelf life, such as fruits, milk, etc.?
2. How does a merchant know how many items are left in a vending machine?
3, before the business of goods from the "warehouse" to "customer purchase", although the product also belongs to the business, but it is not subject to business monitoring. How to solve this blind spot?
In order to solve the above problem, the third type of vending machine appeared!
The third kind of automatic grabbing type of this kind of vending machine can automatically complete the store and take of goods through the internal conveyor belts and robots, and it will scan the barcode of the goods during the storage and sale process. At the same time, the storage and sales data of each vending machine is transmitted to the cloud database in real time.
advantage:
1, the product will not be hurt;
2. Read product information by scanning codes to ensure that the commodities deposited and sold are genuine and qualified products;
3, product sales data is more complete, real-time monitoring of commodity inventory, while sales data extraction allows businesses to better and faster sales analysis;
4, better big data collection.
The basic structure of the automatic grabbing vending machine is as follows: It is composed of interactive layer, executive layer and physical layer.
Interaction layer:
The interactive interface + control system accepts the instructions sent by the operator and then converts them into action instructions and sends them to the execution layer, such as scanning codes, payment, and sending operation instructions.
Execution layer:
Receiving interactive layer instructions and converting the instructions to specific logical actions, such as fixed-point inventory, fixed-point picking, fixed-point scanning, and so on.
Physical layer:
Contains shelves, transport structures, etc.
Based on years of experience in the field of motion control, Shanlong Intelligent Control provides a complete solution for this latest layer of vending machines and provides motion controllers and servo systems.
The motion controller converts the instructions of the interactive layer into specific logical actions, including servo motion and IO output.
Project features:
1. Network connection: The interaction layer implements network connection with our control system;
2. Increased efficiency: The multi-single-axis linkage movement compensates for the low efficiency of the grabbing-type vending machine. The time for accessing the goods is shortened from the original approaching 60S/time to about 10S/times (different positions, There will be slight differences in time;)
3, compared to joint robot grabbing vending machines, the cost is lower, the space is smaller;
4. The universal controller has a rich interface and can be easily matched with various interactive systems.
Major components
Incremental encoders provide speed, direction and relative position feedback by generating a stream of binary pulses proportional to the rotation of a motor or driven shaft. Lander offers both optical and magnetic incremental encoders in 4 mounting options: shafted with coupling, hollow-shaft, hub-shaft or bearingless. Single channel incremental encoders can measure speed which dual channel or quadrature encoders (AB) can interpret direction based on the phase relationship between the 2 channels. Indexed quadrature encoders (ABZ) are also available for homing location are startup.
