Problems solved by technology

During this process, there are at least the following problems: First, the conveying speed is slow, and it usually takes 2, 3 minutes or more for a container to be transported from the suspension chain to the end packing table
Moreover, the running speed of all the containers suspended on the suspension chain is the same, which depends entirely on the running speed of the chain itself. Therefore, the overall operation time of a batch is obviously longer, so that the efficiency of the operation and distribution in the warehouse is restricted. promote
Secondly, the running noise of the suspension chain is relatively large. If it is used in an environment such as a "supermarket", it is usually necessary to transport the goods from the front field to the back field. Therefore, part of the suspension chain runs in the front field, and the front field There may be customers shopping or dining, etc. Therefore, the existence of noise will cause bad customer experience; of course, if the speed of the suspension chain is to be increased, the noise will be even greater

Embodiment 1

[0049] First of all, the first embodiment provides a transportation control system in the store, see figure 1 , the system can specifically include:

[0050] Overhead track 101, transport vehicle 102 and control server 103;

[0051] The overhead track 101 is used to be arranged in the store from the picking area to the air above the packing area;

[0052] The transport vehicle 102 is used to load the conveying object and run along the overhead track; the conveying object is the picking result obtained by the picking area after executing the target picking task;

[0053] The control server 103 is configured to track and locate the position of the transport vehicle on the overhead track in real time, and control the driving path of the transport vehicle, so as to transport the transport object to the packing area.

[0054] Wherein, the store may specifically refer to a store that sells fresh food, catering and other commodities. For this kind of store, on the one hand, consum...

Embodiment 2

[0091] The second embodiment corresponds to the first embodiment. From the perspective of the control server, a delivery control method in the store is provided. Specifically, the method can be applied to control the automatic delivery system in the store. The automatic conveying system includes an overhead track arranged in the store from the picking area to the sky above the packing area, and a transport vehicle for traveling on the overhead track;

[0092] Specifically, see Figure 5 , the method may specifically include:

[0093] S501: Perform real-time tracking and positioning of the position of the transport vehicle on the overhead track;

[0094] S502: According to the positioning information, control the driving path of the transport vehicle, so that the transport vehicle transports the transport object to the packaging area.

[0095] During the specific implementation, since the transport vehicle is a rail transport vehicle, in order to control the cost of each tran...

Embodiment 3

[0100] The third embodiment mainly provides an overhead track system. Specifically, the overhead track is set in the store from the picking area to the air above the packing area, and provides a running track for the transport vehicle, so that the transport vehicle can move along the The overhead track transports the objects to be transported from the picking area to the packing area.

[0101] Specifically, see figure 2 , the picking area in the store includes a plurality of picking areas, and the packing area includes a plurality of packing crossings;

[0102] The overhead track includes a main loop line, a plurality of first branch lines, and a plurality of second branch lines, and the main loop line is provided with a plurality of connection points for respectively connecting with the first branch line and the second branch line; Each first branch line corresponds to each picking area, and the second branch line corresponds to each packing crossing respectively.

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a conveying control method, device and system in a store. The system comprises an overhead track, a transport vehicle and a control server, wherein the overhead track is used for being arranged in the air from a picking area to the position above a packaging area in the store; the transport vehicle is used for loading a conveying object and runs along theoverhead track; the conveying object is a picking result obtained after the picking area executes a target picking task; and the control server is used for tracking and positioning the position of thetransport vehicle on the overhead track in real time and controlling the running path of the transport vehicle so as to convey the conveying object to the packaging area. The efficiency of goods conveying in the warehouse can be improved, and meanwhile the user experience in the environment is prevented from being affected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of transportation control, in particular to a transportation control method, device and system in stores. Background technique [0002] O2O (Online To Offline, Online to Offline) refers to combining offline business opportunities with the Internet, making the Internet a platform for offline transactions. With the upgrading of the service-oriented e-commerce model, the processes of goods (services), ordering, and payment have been improved, and the previously simple e-commerce modules have been transferred to more high-frequency and life-oriented scenarios. Because the traditional service industry has always been in a state of inefficiency and insufficient labor force, under the impetus of the new model, there has been an O2O carnival craze, so door-to-door food delivery (commonly known as "takeaway"), door-to-door fresh food, door-to-door Various O2O models such as makeup have begun to emerge in a...
