Cocurrent control method for goods

Abstract

The article merging control method is to reserve an empty interval (segmentation interval S) of a predetermined length or more between the loads of the conveyed article 1 or between the articles 1 on the main line 2 on the incoming line 3 where the article 1 is stored. Idle interval, when this idle interval is close to the confluence location of the reserved incoming goods line 3, the incoming goods line 3 will cut the article 1 corresponding to the length of the reserved empty interval to the main line 2. According to this method, the idle interval on the main line 2 that does not transport the item 1 can be reduced to improve the merging efficiency. In addition, by reducing the storage capacity of the item 1 on the incoming line 3, the waiting time for the item 1 to be put into the incoming line 3 can be reduced, thereby improving the efficiency. Efficiency of input work.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a confluence control method for conveying and confluent articles from multiple auxiliary conveying paths to a main conveying path. Background technique [0002] A well-known method for controlling the confluence of items is to allocate a certain idle interval on the main conveying road to the auxiliary conveying path every time a certain period of time passes, so that the items stored on the auxiliary conveying path merge to the idle interval on the main conveying road. The above-mentioned idle interval is the interval between items or items (hereinafter referred to as loads) generated on the main conveying road. This merging control method takes the above-mentioned certain idle interval as a certain length when the items stored on the auxiliary conveying road are full, and is a distribution that has nothing to do with the amount of items stored on the auxiliary conveying road. [0003] Another well-known item merging control method...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the above-mentioned well-known article merging control method that allocates a certain idle interval, since the merging is performed according to the length distribution when the article is fully loaded regardless of the amount of stored articles, there will be idle intervals on the main conveying road that do not convey articles, and the merging is reduced. efficiency problem

[0006] In addition, for the above-mentioned well-known article merging control method that does not merge the idle interval when there is only an idle interval shorter than the amount of articles on the auxiliary conveying path on the main conveying path, when there are many such idle intervals, the merge efficiency will be reduced. Reduced, and because of the accumulation of items on the auxiliary conveying road, there will be a waiting time when the items are transported to the auxiliary conveying road, which will lead to the problem of reducing work efficiency
