Goods sorting system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a goods sorting system and method. The goods sorting system comprises a control server, a delivery robot and a goods collection container cluster group; and the goods collection container cluster group comprises a plurality of goods collection container groups, the goods collection container groups are distributed on a place in an array mode, and horizontal and longitudinalchannels formed by gaps of arrays are travelling channels of the robot. The goods sorting method comprises the steps that firstly, a target goods collection container corresponding to the road direction of road direction information is determined according to the road direction information of goods to be delivered, the delivery robot is assigned to the goods to be delivered, a delivery route is planned for the delivery robot according to the position of the target goods collection container, a delivery command corresponding to the goods to be delivered is generated, and the delivery command is sent to the delivery robot; then, the delivery robot travels to the target goods collection container according to the delivery route, and the goods to be delivered are delivered to target goods collection container according to a delivery mechanism. According to the technical scheme, the sorting efficiency of the goods can be improved, manpower costs are reduced, and meanwhile, the extension flexibility of the sorting system is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to robot technology, and in particular to a cargo sorting system and method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of industrial division of labor and the Internet of Things, the logistics industry has also developed rapidly and gradually grown, bringing convenience to people's lives and improving people's quality of life. While the increasing volume of logistics brings benefits to the logistics center, it also makes the sorting of goods a key issue. If you are not careful, it will cause classification errors, lead to delivery errors, and reduce delivery efficiency. In order to reduce distribution errors and improve distribution efficiency, the cargo sorting system came into being. [0003] Existing cargo sorting systems mainly include cross-belt sorting systems and robotic steel platform sorting systems. The cross-belt sorting system is connected by the main drive belt conveyor and the t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] After the design of the cross-belt sorting system is completed, the number of delivery ports is determined, and it is difficult to expand again; in the "chain" serial working mode, a problem in one link may lead to the paralysis of the entire sorting system, affecting normal production operations

At the same time, the package containers after sorting by the cross-belt sorting system need to be manually transported twice, which is inefficient and high in labor costs.

The steel platform in the robot steel platform sorting system has high construction cost, complex construction, poor flexibility for relocation and expansion, and the high density of robots requires more mutual waiting, and the delivery needs to be stopped, which affects the efficiency

Parcel containers still need to be collected twice and transported to the shipping port or truck loading position in separate lines, which requires a large amount of labor and high labor costs
