Problems solved by technology

[0004] This control method can be solved by increasing the number of corresponding physical grids for the routes with large business volumes. However, in the same shift, the physical positions and numbers of the corresponding grids for each route are still relatively fixed, and the grids cannot be changed in real time during production. mouth direction
In actual application, due to the large change in the number of mails processed by extensions on the same shift every day, in certain periods of time, some directions are configured with checkpoint

Embodiment 1

[0111] Embodiment 1 Dynamic Grid Control Method

[0112] This method dynamically allocates the physical bins corresponding to the normal direction in the sorter. Before sorting, set the corresponding relationship between the direction and the virtual grid in the sorting scheme. An example of the sorting scheme is as follows:

[0113] Direction

virtual grid

Beijing

chute1

dujiangyan

chute2

Chengdu

chute2

Nanjing

chute3

Hohhot

chute4

[0114] In the example, Dujiangyan and Chengdu point to the same virtual grid.

[0115] In this system, virtual slots can set priority, occupy the minimum number, and occupy the maximum number. Examples are as follows:

[0116] virtual grid

priority

Occupy the minimum amount

Embodiment 2

[0152] Embodiment 2 Control method combining dynamic grid and fixed grid

[0153] This method can be further expanded to a hybrid method combining dynamic grids and fixed grids, setting some normal routes as fixed grids and other normal routes as dynamic distribution. At this time, two kinds of sorting schemes need to be configured, namely, sorting scheme a, which sets the corresponding relationship between the routing and physical bins; sorting scheme b, which sets the corresponding relationship between the routing and the virtual bins.

[0154] Sorting scheme a (fixed bin mode)—example of the corresponding relationship between direction and physical bin:

Abstract

The invention discloses a control system for a dynamic lattice of a package sorting machine. The control system comprises a package sorting machine database, a monitoring module, a management module, a decoding module, a communication module, a package supply control module, a main ring control module, a lattice control module, a bar code reading module and a tray control module; the main ring control module is an intelligent module consisting of a PLC, a control panel and a motor part, is used for carrying out start-stop and constant-speed operation control on a main ring of the sorting machine, and communicates with the package supply control module, the bar code reading module, the decoding module, the tray control module, the lattice control module and the monitoring module in real time; after mail online information is received, the bar code reading module is noticed to read and analyze; and after physical lattice information is obtained by mail decoding and distributing according to the read and analyzed results, the tray control module is noticed to drop mails onto lattices according to specified lattices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of logistics equipment, and in particular relates to a method and system for controlling dynamic bins of a package sorting machine. Background technique [0002] With the development of the logistics industry, the application of package sorting machines is becoming more and more extensive. The package sorting machine is one of the key equipments in the logistics distribution center. The sorting system can realize the accurate and fast work of the logistics distribution center. The package sorting machine can perform continuous operations of automatically sorting, boxing (or bagging), and sealing (or bagging) mail according to barcode, user, place name, product name, etc. according to user requirements and site conditions. [0003] At present, the package sorting machine needs to configure the sorting scheme before automatic sorting. The sorting scheme specifies the physical slots corresponding to each direc...
