Stockers can be placed in various locations such as buildings, convenience stores, factories, train stations, schools, condominiums, or private homes.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the relationship between the stocker delivery size and the returnable box size. The stocker 200 is an example when the size of the stocker delivery storage is different. The return box 203 indicates that the size is approximately the same as the size of the stocker delivery box. Further, it is shown that the return boxes 201 and 202 become approximately the size of the stocker delivery box when the size is doubled. Then, it is shown that when the sizes of the returnable boxes 204, 205, and 206 are tripled, the size is approximately the size of the stocker delivery box. By standardizing to such a size, management by the management system 1 becomes easy, and the space of the stocker delivery storage can be effectively utilized.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the relationship between the return box and the solid-state recognition code. The stocker delivery room 304 is a predetermined stocker delivery room in the stocker. The stocker delivery room 304 includes a solid-state recognition code reading means 301. A solid-state recognition code 303 is attached to the return box 302. The solid-state recognition code reading means 301 reads the code when the return box 302 is put in the stocker delivery storage 304. The position where the solid-state recognition code 303 is attached is preferably a position where the returnable box 302 can be read when it has completely entered the stocker delivery box 304. In this case, the stocker can prepare to close the door of the stocker delivery storage 304 by using the fact that the stocker has been fully loaded as a trigger. Examples of the solid-state recognition code include RFID, 2D code, bar code, and the like.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the returnable box, the sorting means, and the temperature control mechanism. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the return box 400 is divided into four spaces by the dividing means 401. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 4, tomato 404 and lettuce 405 are put in the vegetable space, fish 406 and meat 407 are put in the meat / fish space, milk 408 is put in the dairy product space, and one spare space is provided. Is. Further, FIG. 4 shows an example in which the temperature control mechanism 403 is provided in each of the four spaces. The temperature control mechanism 403 refers to a mechanism provided with a cold insulation material, a heat insulation material, and the like. And in this example, the temperature control mechanism 403 includes the temperature control code 402. In the temperature control code 402, how long the temperature control by the temperature control mechanism 403 can be maintained, how much temperature the temperature control by the temperature control mechanism 403 is performed, and when the temperature control by the temperature control mechanism 403 is started. It is possible to have information such as what kind of delivery the temperature control by the temperature control mechanism 403 is intended for. The information may be transmitted by reading the temperature control code 402 by the stocker. Further, the reading can be made common with the solid-state recognition code reading means. In this case, the solid-state recognition code and the temperature control code are placed at a position where the solid-state recognition code reading means can read these codes.

The information contained in the temperature control code 402 is registered in the management system 1 when the supplier puts the delivered product in a through box and decides the partitioning means and the arrangement of the temperature control mechanism. The management system 1 can calculate the time during which the temperature of the deliverable in the returnable box can be controlled from this information, the delivery route, the specifications of the stocker, and the like. If you receive receipt time information from the consumer side, compare the information and if delivery is not possible, notify the consumer side to that effect or stop the work of putting the delivery in the return box. Can be done.

Since the management system and the stocker are connected via a network, various information can be transmitted or received. For example, information on the presence or absence of a returnable box in the stocker delivery box and information on the size of the returnable box in the stocker delivery box are required when the management system determines the stocker to which the return box is delivered. Further, the temperature control information of the return box and the temperature controllable time information of the return box are necessary for the management system to determine whether or not the return box can be delivered, determine the stocker of the delivery destination, or select the delivery route. With such information, it is possible to construct a user-friendly delivery system.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating that the stocker delivery room can be opened in the stocker. The stocker delivery 501 is a predetermined stocker delivery in the stocker. The stocker delivery 501 is provided with a lock mechanism 503. Further, the stocker delivery warehouse 501 includes a delivery storage door 502. The management system sends or receives information such as the stocker to be delivered for a predetermined return box, the stocker delivery box to be delivered, or the presence or absence of a return box already delivered to the stocker delivery box with the stocker. conduct. Then, the stocker acquires the deliverable information indicating that it has arrived near the stocker from a device having the deliverable information such as a PDA, a tablet PC, or a smartphone held by the delivery person. When the stocker acquires the deliverable information, the stocker door 502 of the specified stocker delivery warehouse 501 can be opened by specifically performing an operation such as unlocking. Such a system prevents erroneous delivery and does not make a mistake in temperature control. The stocker delivery room, which has completed delivery as described above, can prepare to close the delivery room door 502 of the stocker delivery room 501 by using the return box as a trigger. For example, theft measures can be taken by using a function such as auto lock.

The stocker to be delivered is connected to the consumer side system via a network. Then, the delivery recipient who is a consumer can register the receivable stocker delivery information through the network. This includes information such as which of the multiple stockers connected to the network you would like to receive, and which of the multiple stockers the stocker has you would like to receive. .. The recipient may want to decide which delivery room can be received depending on his height and physique. For example, children and the elderly may wish to pick up at the lower stocker delivery room as much as possible, and tall recipients may wish to pick up at a position where they do not bend their hips too much. Then, once the above-mentioned deliverable information is obtained, the corresponding stocker delivery room is unlocked so that it can be opened. The receivable stocker delivery information includes information indicating that the item is desired to be received as the first step and information indicating that the item can be received as the second step. The management system determines in the order of the first stage and the second stage and sets the delivery information.

FIG. 6 shows that when the delivery information of the stocker delivery box to which the returnable box should be delivered indicates a plurality of stocker delivery boxes, a plurality of adjacent stockers can be selected and added to the delivery information. .. When a delivery recipient needs to receive a returnable box at a plurality of stocker delivery boxes, he / she often wishes to receive the return box at a plurality of stocker delivery boxes as close as possible. In such a case, the management system instructs the stocker delivery box 601 to put the first return box, and puts the second return box in the range of the first proximity stocker delivery box 602 close to the stocker delivery box 601. Instruct. Further, when it does not fit in the range of the first proximity stocker delivery storage 602, it is instructed to put it in the range of the second proximity stocker delivery storage 603. The same method can be used when the delivery recipient places an additional order. Further, if there is no problem with the temperature control described above, the management system can instruct the delivery person to replace the return boxes of the same delivery recipient so that the return boxes are arranged as described above.

As shown in FIG. 4, the returnable box of this embodiment can have a sorting means and a temperature control mechanism, so that it is possible to appropriately control the temperature depending on the delivery and provide the delivery environment desired by the recipient. Further, the temperature control mechanism can be equipped with a thermometer or a temperature recording device. Such can add value in terms of quality assurance of the delivery system. Then, the management system can provide the temperature control information to the recipient from the delivery route, the specifications of the stocker, and the like. Further, it is desirable that the sorting means is movable so that the space can be changed according to the size of the delivery.

The information contained in the temperature control code of this embodiment may be provided in the solid-state recognition code. If the information that the temperature control code should have when putting the delivery into the return box is made to correspond to the solid-state recognition code, the management system can manage the information that the temperature control code should have with the solid-state recognition code.

The solid recognition code reading means 301 is preferably provided at a position where it does not come into contact with the return box 302. This is because failure and wear due to contact can be prevented.

The stocker has a spare space, and the information can be managed by the management system. If there is spare space when selecting close placement or rearrangement, it will be easier to carry out close placement or rearrangement. Of course, spare space can also be used for normal delivery rather than proximity or relocation.

The stocker delivery room can have a weight limit according to each location. Since the stocker of this embodiment has three stages, restrictions such as 10 kg for the upper stage, 20 kg for the middle stage, and 30 kg for the lower stage can be set. The management system can manage the weight via the network.

The returnable box of this embodiment may be arranged in the space 409 to 412 in order of temperature in FIG. 4 in order to efficiently control the temperature. The management system can instruct the supplier side in this way and manage the temperature control code and the solid-state recognition code at the same time. The temperature controllable time information is determined by such information, the temperature control specifications of the return box, the delivery route, and the like. In addition, the returnable box can add information indicating unopened to the solid-state recognition code or the like. As a result, the recipient can receive the delivery with peace of mind.
