Automatic parcel feeding and sorting control method

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic parcel feeding and sorting control method. According to the automatic parcel feeding and sorting control method, an automatic separation procedure is set before parcels are fed into a sorting machine, a manual parcel one-by-one feeding mode is omitted, and a mechanical separation device and a cyclic parcel feeding mode are adopted, so that the operation pressureof parcel one-by-one feeding after unpacking is eliminated, the one-by-one scanning recognition and parcel feeding rate and accuracy are improved, the number of workers for feeding parcels and the load of the workers are effectively reduced, and the high-speed operating and sorting efficiency of the sorting machine is ensured fundamentally. The automatic parcel feeding and sorting control methodcomprises the following steps of (1) goods unpacking, specifically, dismantling goods conveyed from a first conveying line into small goods parcels at an unpacking unit; (2) separation, specifically,conveying piles of unpacked goods parcels to a separation unit to be separated in a spreading state on the conveying line; (3) scanning, specifically, scanning codes through a 3d+2d vision unit, inputting external dimension data of all the goods, and establishing follow-up sorting tasks through generated coordinate information; (4) parcel feeding, transferring the goods to a sorting machine lead-in unit through a manipulator grabbing unit; and (5) sorting, specifically, feeding the goods into the conveying line of the sorting machine through the sorting machine lead-in unit until the sorting task is completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic loading control method for implementing high-speed sorting of goods, and belongs 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 goods entering the conveyor line after unpacking, so as 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 larg...

[0003] The front-end manual feeding method of the existing high-speed sorter requires multiple staff

Sorting equipment usually runs at a 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 number of piles of goods entering the subsequent scanning and sorting stage, resulting in a large backlog of goods, which not only increases the pressure of scanning and sorting operations, but also has a large number of unidentified goods to be rescheduled. Entering the loading and scanning process, which directly affects the processing efficiency of the overall sorting operation, prolongs the working time of the whole machine equipment, and reduces the sorting efficiency and capacity of the logistics system
