Sorting machine and supply table waiting time configuration method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses a sorting machine and a supply table waiting time configuration method and system. The supply table waiting time configuration method includes acquiring parameters A, B, S andV of the sorting machine wherein A is the total quantity of carts, B is the quantity of carts that are occupied between a sorting channel which is the nearest to the supply table and the supply tablein the sorting machine conveying direction, 0<=B<=A, S is the distance between the carts and V is the operation speed of the carts; determining the average waiting time T of the supply table accordingto the parameters A, B, S and V. According to the invention, the mathematic model is simple and the calculation results are direct and reliable. Through the above configuration method, the average waiting time and a cargo handling volume in unit time of each supply table on the sorting machine can achieve an accurate numerical value, so that modulation of sorting machine field cargo and staff isfacilitated, reasonable utilization rate of resource in cargo sorting is improved and production cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of logistics, specifically to the field of automated sorting, and in particular to a method and system for configuring the waiting time of a sorter and an infeed table. Background technique [0002] At present, automatic sorting machines are widely used in the logistics industry, and each transfer station needs to be equipped with automatic sorting machines to sort goods. The amount of goods processed by the sorter per unit time is calculated based on the induction efficiency of the feeding table. [0003] At present, the design introduction efficiency of the feeding table of the automatic sorting machine is calculated based on the scenario that the carrying trolleys are all empty. But in fact, all the express shipments on the trolley cannot be unloaded after 1 round of circulation. There will always be a small part of the express mail that will remain on the trolley for 1 round of circulation. Aft...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In this way, the inducting efficiency of the feeding table calculated based on the state that the trolleys are all empty does not match the actual situation, which will lead to the inability to correctly calculate the processing capacity per unit time of the entire sorter. In this way, the processing time of each batch of goods cannot be calculated. Correct estimation affects the regulation of the amount of goods and personnel on the sorter site. Too much or too little regulation will not only affect the processing speed but also increase the production cost
