Abstract:
The arrangements of the present disclosure provide a locating apparatus, a locating method, and a shelf. The locating apparatus includes a rotating mechanism, a distance measuring mechanism, and a locating circuit. The rotating mechanism is configured to control the distance measuring mechanism to rotate in a plane where the distance measuring mechanism is positioned, and to measure a rotation angle of the distance measuring mechanism in the plane. The distance measuring mechanism is configured to measure a distance between the distance measuring mechanism and an obstacle. The locating circuit is configured to determine a position of the obstacle in the plane based on the rotation angle of the distance measuring mechanism in the plane and the distance between the distance measuring mechanism and the obstacle.

Claim (Index 10):
The locating method according to  claim 8 , wherein determining the distance between the distance measuring mechanism and the obstacle comprises:\n transmitting and receiving an ultrasonic wave by an ultrasonic distance measuring sensor; and calculating a distance between the ultrasonic distance measuring sensor and the obstacle based on a time difference of transmitting and receiving the ultrasonic wave.
