Side-by-side package separating device and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a side-by-side package separating device and method. The method is characterized by firstly dispersing and opening a gap, then photographing by applying an image recognition algorithm, and identifying a position relationship between adjacent packages so as to specifically separate the packages at a foremost position one by one; and realizing high-speed separation and single-queue conveying of batch packages, realizing a maximum rate of subsequent single code scanning operation, reducing an omission ratio and improving efficiency of overall sorting operation. The separation method comprises the following steps of dispersion, dispersing the packages arriving at a dispersion device from a conveying line through an angle difference existing in a conveying direction, wherein a gap is reserved between the adjacent packages; detection and recognition, photographing and recognizing the detected packages through a visual recognition device, and obtaining a three-dimensional size and real-time position data of each package; separating, applying different conveying speeds to the identified adjacent packages through a separating device; identifying that a first packageat a front position arrives at a side-approaching device at a higher speed, and so on; and single row queuing, forwardly conveying the different packages arriving at the side-approaching device in sequence in a single-row queue mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a side-by-side package separation device and method for implementing high-speed sorting of goods, belonging to the field of logistics sorting. Background technique [0002] The current logistics sorting operation site in the e-commerce and express delivery industry usually adopts the front-end manual loading operation mode to manually separate a large number of piles of packages entering the conveyor line to facilitate subsequent scanning and information entry. [0003] The front-end manual feeding method of the existing high-speed sorting machine requires multiple staff members. Sorting equipment usually operates at a relatively high speed and cannot be shut down. Correspondingly, the quality requirements for manual loading personnel are relatively high, and the on-site labor intensity is also relatively high. If there is a slowdown in the processing speed of uploading items during the period, there will still be a large numb...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] As in the above-mentioned prior application scheme, its disadvantages and deficiencies include: 1. How can the detected and separated parcels be spaced in a limited manner before entering the different strip conveyor belts formed by adjacent spacing slots? Or is it still pre-processed by means of manual division? The previous application did not give enough disclosure, and there are gaps in the specific application of the separation technology; 2. It did not solve the identification and subsequent separation of multiple positional relationships between adjacent packages, and the problems solved are limited and need to be further studied 3. Separation and disposal through sensor signal triggering, the processing speed is low, and it is difficult to meet the existing on-site processing requirements of high-speed and batch packages; 4. The separated packages are still in a discrete state, which is not conducive to subsequent single scanning size, the omission ratio is still large
