Article sorting method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses an article sorting method and device, and relates to the technical field of warehouse logistics. One specific embodiment of the method comprises the steps of dividing a set tobe sorted into a first sorting batch and a second sorting batch; matching each set in the first sorting batch with a first grid; assigning the set in the second sorting batch to the remaining second grids; judging whether the articles to be sorted belong to the set in the first sorting batch or not; and after each set in the first sorting batch finishes sorting, matching the set in the second sorting batch with the first grid and / or the second grid, and setting the set in the second sorting batch as a new first sorting batch. The technical defects that when the number of sets to be sorted is large, all grids cannot be bound, the number of times of scanning articles to be sorted is large, and the sorting efficiency is low are overcome; and then the technical effects that the number of timesof scanning and sorting the articles is reduced, and the sorting efficiency is improved are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of warehousing and logistics, in particular to a method and device for sorting items. Background technique [0002] In the field of warehousing, a pile of items needs to be stored separately according to standards. With the development of automation, automated equipment such as cross-belt sorters are used for sorting operations. The automation equipment includes a bag supply platform, a sorting line and a grid. A bin is bound to a collection of items, and the items are delivered to the sorting line. The device finds the bin bound to the item, delivers the items to the corresponding bin, and then completes the sorting of the items. [0003] In the course of realizing the present invention, the inventor finds that there are at least the following problems in the prior art: [0004] 1. When there are many collections to be sorted and the number of corresponding slots is quite different, there will be a large...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. When there are many collections to be sorted and the number of corresponding slots is quite different, there will be a large number of collections that cannot be bound to the slots, so the collections that are not bound to slots cannot be sorted, and it is necessary to wait for the existence of slots Only when the state is idle, can the order not bound to the slot be continued to be sorted

[0005] 2. Since the items to be sorted are mixed and stored, it is impossible to determine the corresponding set of items before sorting

When the number of collections to be sorted is large, the number of scans will increase and the sorting efficiency will be low
