Flexible order sorting system

Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible order sorting system, belongs to a logistics storage automation and sorting device, and aims at providing sorting equipment, which is capable of reducing operation steps and cigarette displacement, and has small floor space. The flexible order sorting system comprises devices for pretreatment, sorting, replenishment, pickup, unloading and the like; a pretreatment device (1) is formed by a pretreatment bin (1-1), a first conveying mechanism, a second conveying mechanism, a lifting mechanism (1-3), a purchase bin (1-6) and a cargo push mechanism (1-5); a movable replenishment device (2) is formed by a replenishment bin (2-1) fixed on a transport cart and a third conveying mechanism (2-2) which are fixed on a transport truck; a storage sorting device (3) is formed by a sorting storage bin (3-1), a fourth conveying mechanism, a fifth conveying mechanism and a sixth conveying mechanism; a movable pickup device (6) is formed by a storage bin (6-1) fixed on a second transport cart; an unloading device (9) is formed by a support (9-1) and a cargo push rod (9-2). The flexible order sorting system is article sorting equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a logistics automatic storage and sorting device, in particular to a flexible order sorting system. Background technique [0002] Order sorting is to pick the goods from their storage positions as quickly and accurately as possible according to the customer's order requirements or the delivery plan of the distribution center, and classify and concentrate them in a certain way, waiting for the assembly and delivery. job process. Of all the processes in the warehouse, order picking is gaining more and more attention in the corporate and research world. In non-automated warehouses or distribution centers, sorting has always been considered the most labor-intensive and costly operation, and it is also the top priority for many companies to reduce storage costs and improve productivity; therefore, companies can quickly and accurately process customers Orders have become an important part of an enterprise's competitiveness. In rec...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1) It is usually a customized design, and the core indicators such as equipment scale and system sorting efficiency are relatively fixed. It is difficult to adjust and improve the system after it is put into use, and it can only match the current demand

Once there is an increase in product specifications, an increase or decrease in sorting efficiency requirements, etc., it is difficult for the system to flexibly increase or decrease equipment and scale, and it is difficult to adapt to business changes; therefore, the system has low flexibility, adaptability and standardization, and adjustment is difficult. Inability to flexibly adapt to changes in indicators such as different business scales, business changes, and sorting efficiency

[0005] 2) Poor sorting efficiency and reliability of the system

Due to the method of sorting the cigarettes required by each order in the form of virtual disks on multiple lines, and then combining the orders on multiple lines to complete the sorting of each order; therefore, limited by the sorting mode and structure, the sorting efficiency of the system Affected by orders, it is generally not possible to stabilize system operation efficiency

In addition, the items sorted to the main line are out of control. After long-distance transportation, order pressing, order combination, coding and other operations, the cigarettes are prone to problems such as misplacement, slippage, and jamming. For precise control purposes; usually requires shutdown for manual intervention before continuing operations

Not only that, because the main sorting line of the existing system adopts a fixed series-parallel connection, when a local failure occurs, it is easy to cause the entire line to shut down, reducing the degree of automation, sorting efficiency and reliability of the system

[0006] 3) The system is easy to cause damage to the surface of the cigarettes, and it is difficult to ensure the one-to-one correspondence between the order of the cigarettes and the packaging boxes

In order to improve the sorting efficiency and adjust the posture of cigarettes on the line, it is necessary to adopt the method of stacking and pressing orders on the main sorting line to reduce the time of order consolidation and transportation, so as to achieve the purpose of shaping the posture of cigarettes; The friction time between the cigarette and the conveyor belt increases, and the surface of the cigarette is easy to wear

At the same time, in the case of severe slippage of the rod, the purpose of shaping the rod cannot be achieved.

In addition, the sorting main line adopts the continuous operation mode to carry the sorted cigarettes; in order to improve the sorting efficiency, it generally adopts the method of allocating the total number according to the order and randomly allocating virtual disks corresponding to the items to be sorted, so it is easy to cause When the same kind of cigarettes are sorted to the main line, it is difficult to arrange them in a continuous sequence, and then it is difficult to realize the one-to-one correspondence between the product specifications and identification codes, and it is difficult to check the subsequent delivery of goods

If the method of increasing the continuous storage of cigarettes to be sorted is adopted, the complexity and cost of the equipment will be increased, and it is difficult to form a balanced solution that can take into account

[0007] 4) There are many process links in the system, the number of equipment is many and complex, the floor area is large, maintenance is difficult, and the cost performance is poor
