Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics, and in particular to a method for inbound logistics distribution and a sorting system. Background Art
[0002] With the development of network and electronic information technology, especially the emergence of the epidemic, online shopping has experienced explosive growth, and the express logistics industry has developed rapidly, posing higher and more urgent requirements for the receipt, transfer, and delivery of express logistics in terms of time, cost, efficiency, and accuracy.
[0003] The distribution center is an economic activity organization in the operation of the logistics industry. It is a logistics stronghold integrating multiple functions such as processing, sorting, and delivery. The logistics distribution network is generally divided into distribution (delivery) centers or city headquarters according to the regional size. Several distribution centers are set up in larger provinces. According to the regional scale, the distribution center has about 40 - 60 distribution outlets of varying quantities, which are distributed in third - and fourth - level regions such as urban areas, counties, and townships. Different distribution outlets are divided according to the size of the regional streets, and different couriers are assigned to manage different areas for receiving and delivering goods. The distribution center is also defined as the first - level delivery site with different names such as the transfer center, transit center, or city headquarters. The distribution outlet is defined as the second - level delivery site with different names such as zoning, county, town, and township according to different regional sizes.
[0004] The current express logistics system is divided into an outbound logistics distribution system and an inbound logistics distribution system. The existing outbound logistics distribution system is as Figure 1 shown. After receiving goods from users in the area, the area courier collects them at the outlet, loads them onto the vehicle at night and transports them to the distribution center, and then through the large - scale primary sorting system of the distribution center, they are distributed to distribution centers across the country. At the distribution center of the destination, they become inbound items for delivery; the existing inbound logistics distribution system, as Figure 2 shown, the inbound items enter the distribution center and are sorted and distributed twice in different places: the first time is to temporarily store them in the distribution center, manually sort them on the assembly line, and then transport and distribute them to the affiliated distribution outlets through logistics trucks; the second time is after the inbound items are transported to the distribution outlet, unloaded and sorted manually for the second time, and distributed according to the area couriers under the outlet; finally, after each area courier picks up the express items, they are delivered to the final users.
[0005] The existing inbound shipment logistics distribution system adopts a hierarchical distribution network system of distribution centers - distribution outlets. At the distribution center level, there are two sorting and distribution methods. One is manual sorting. Since the number of inbound shipments at the distribution center is huge, manual sorting is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, usually at the distribution center level, devices such as intelligent sorting machines or sorting robots are used to achieve sorting. An intelligent sorting machine generally includes functional devices such as intelligent scanning, transmission, and sorting, as well as its control system. The existing sorting machines mainly transmit express packages through scanning and recognition in a production line and then directly distribute them to sorting bins. The transmission process is all single-level, that is, there is only one main transportation line. Therefore, only one sorting can be carried out on this transportation line. The intelligent robot can also only load one express package at a time. Each time it goes to the destination sorting bin according to the control system, only one delivery can be carried out. Therefore, the sorting devices in the existing technology can only perform one-time sorting, requiring a relatively large floor area and space, and the expansion space of the sorting bin is limited. Although the intelligent sorting machine or sorting robot occupies a large area, the distribution center is usually set in the suburbs or outskirts, and the warehousing cost is relatively low; at the distribution outlet level, there are also usually two methods. One is manual sorting, and the other is to use devices such as intelligent sorting machines or sorting robots to achieve sorting. Since distribution outlets are usually located in urban areas, county and township centers, with a large number, expensive floor area rent, and large investment, if devices such as intelligent sorting machines or sorting robots are used to achieve sorting, it requires a relatively large floor area and the cost is too high. If the manual sorting method is adopted, a large amount of manpower is required, and the labor cost is also high, and the manual sorting efficiency is low. In the existing inbound shipment logistics distribution system, it is necessary to carry out storage, loading and unloading, sorting, and distribution twice at the distribution center and distribution outlets. The cost of each level is relatively high and the efficiency is low, resulting in low efficiency, slow speed, high cost, and high manual error rate of the entire inbound shipment distribution system, affecting customer satisfaction. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an inbound shipment logistics distribution method with high efficiency, fast speed, and low cost.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: The inbound shipment logistics distribution method includes the following steps:
[0008] A. When the inbound shipments arrive at the distribution center, they are first sorted at the first level according to the address information of different distribution outlets, and the inbound shipments belonging to the same distribution outlet address information are sorted out;
[0009] B. Then, at the distribution center, the inbound shipments belonging to the same distribution outlet address information are further sorted at the second level according to the address information and ID information of different couriers in the subordinate areas of the distribution outlet, and the inbound shipments belonging to the same courier address information and ID information are sorted out;
[0010] C. Pack the incoming packages belonging to the same courier's address information and ID information, and paste labels on the surface of the box indicating the address information of the distribution network and the courier's ID information.
[0011] D. Load the packed incoming packages onto the transport vehicle corresponding to the distribution network according to the address information of the distribution network.
[0012] E. After the transport vehicle with the box of incoming packages arrives at the corresponding distribution network, the area delivery courier picks up the box of incoming packages belonging to him according to the address information of the distribution network, the courier's address information and ID information on the surface of the box, and directly delivers it to the user.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The intelligent logistics distribution method for incoming packages first performs primary sorting on the incoming packages arriving at the sorting center according to different distribution network address information, and sorts out the incoming packages belonging to the same distribution network address information; then continues to perform secondary sorting on the incoming packages belonging to the same distribution network address information in the sorting center according to the address information and ID information of different couriers in the areas under the distribution network, and sorts out the incoming packages belonging to the same courier's address information and ID information; then packs the sorted incoming packages belonging to the same courier's address information and ID information, and paste labels on the surface of the box indicating the address information of the distribution network, the courier's address information and ID information; load the packed incoming packages onto the transport vehicle corresponding to the distribution network according to the address information of the distribution network; after the transport vehicle with the box of incoming packages arrives at the corresponding distribution network, the area delivery courier picks up the box of incoming packages belonging to him according to the address information of the distribution network, the courier's address information and ID information on the surface of the box, and directly delivers it to the user. In this way, after the incoming packages complete primary sorting and secondary sorting in the sorting center, when the incoming packages arrive at the distribution network, there is no need to perform secondary sorting according to the area couriers anymore. The packed boxes of incoming packages are directly allocated to the couriers for delivery, without occupying a large space in the distribution network, and even the distribution network can not be set up. This not only saves the floor area of the distribution network and the rental cost of the distribution network, but also does not require storage, loading, unloading and sorting in the distribution network, greatly saving labor costs. At the same time, the packed boxes of incoming packages are allocated to the couriers for delivery after arriving at the distribution network, reducing the time of the original secondary sorting, and greatly improving the distribution efficiency, which can greatly improve customer satisfaction.
[0014] The present invention also discloses an inbound logistics sorting system, which includes a first-level sorting system and a second-level sorting system. The first-level sorting system includes a first bracket, on which a first sorting conveyor belt is arranged. A plurality of first sorting trolleys are arranged on the first sorting conveyor belt, and the plurality of first sorting trolleys are arranged at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the first sorting conveyor belt. The first sorting conveyor belt drives the first sorting trolleys to move backward along the conveying direction of the first sorting conveyor belt. Above the front end of the first sorting conveyor belt, a first barcode scanning and recognition device is arranged, which is used to recognize the address information of the distribution network to which the inbound item belongs. When the first sorting conveyor belt is conveying, each first sorting trolley passes through the first barcode scanning and recognition device in turn. A plurality of first sorting ports are arranged on the left and right sides of the first sorting conveyor belt, and each first sorting port corresponds to an address information of a distribution network. The second-level sorting system includes a plurality of sub-sorting devices, and the number of the plurality of sub-sorting devices is the same as and corresponds one by one to the number of the plurality of first sorting ports. A conveyor belt is arranged at each first sorting port. Each sub-sorting device includes a second bracket, on which a second sorting conveyor belt is arranged. The second sorting conveyor belt is connected to the first sorting conveyor belt through the conveyor belt. A plurality of second sorting trolleys are arranged on the second sorting conveyor belt, and the plurality of second sorting trolleys are arranged at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the second sorting conveyor belt. The second sorting conveyor belt drives the second sorting trolleys to move backward along the conveying direction of the second sorting conveyor belt. Above the front end of the second sorting conveyor belt, a second barcode scanning and recognition device is arranged, which is used to recognize the address information and ID information of the courier to which the inbound item belongs. When the second sorting conveyor belt is conveying, each second sorting trolley passes through the second barcode scanning and recognition device in turn. A plurality of second sorting ports are arranged on the left and right sides of the second sorting conveyor belt, and each second sorting port corresponds to an address information and ID information of a courier. A sorting basket is arranged at each second sorting port. The first sorting conveyor belt and the plurality of second sorting conveyor belts form an "inverted L" structure. A controller is also included, and the first sorting conveyor belt, the second sorting conveyor belt, the first barcode scanning and recognition device, the second barcode scanning and recognition device, the first sorting trolleys, and the second sorting trolleys are respectively connected to the controller in a signal connection.
[0015] Furthermore, the first sorting conveyor belt is a single-layer sorting conveyor belt, and the second sorting conveyor belt is a double-layer sorting conveyor belt.
[0016] Furthermore, both the first barcode scanning and recognition device and the second barcode scanning and recognition device adopt three-dimensional barcode scanning devices.
[0017] Furthermore, the front end of the first sorting conveyor belt is connected with a merging conveyor belt.
[0018] It should be noted that in the translation of , there is an error in the description of the structure formed by the conveyor belts in the original text. It is corrected to "inverted L" structure in the translation. If this is not in line with the actual situation, please adjust it according to the correct content.The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The inbound parcel logistics sorting system includes a first-level sorting system and a second-level sorting system, which can achieve two-level sorting. After the inbound parcels at the distribution center are unloaded, they enter the receiving area. First, they enter the first sorting carts arranged on the first sorting conveyor belt of the first-level sorting system one by one, and the address information of the distribution network to which the inbound parcels belong is identified by the first barcode recognition device in sequence, and the identified address information of the distribution network is transmitted to the controller. After receiving the identified address information of the distribution network, the controller transmits it to the control center of the first sorting cart where the inbound parcel is located. When the first sorting conveyor belt drives the first sorting cart to move backward along the conveying direction of the first sorting conveyor belt to the first sorting port corresponding to the address information of the distribution network, the first sorting cart sends the inbound parcels in the cart into the first sorting port corresponding to the address information of the distribution network. The inbound parcels sent into the first sorting port then enter the second sorting carts arranged on the second sorting conveyor belt of the second-level sorting system corresponding to the first sorting port one by one through the conveyor belt, and the address information and ID information of the courier to which the inbound parcels belong are identified by the second barcode recognition device in sequence, and the identified address information and ID information of the courier are transmitted to the controller. After receiving the identified address information and ID information of the courier, the controller transmits it to the control center of the second sorting cart where the inbound parcel is located. When the second sorting conveyor belt drives the second sorting cart to move backward along the conveying direction of the second sorting conveyor belt to the second sorting port corresponding to the address information and ID information of the courier, the second sorting cart sends the inbound parcels in the cart into the second sorting port corresponding to the address information and ID information of the courier. Then, the inbound parcels enter the corresponding sorting baskets and wait to be packed. The inbound parcel logistics sorting system can achieve the original primary sorting at the distribution center and secondary sorting at the distribution network at one time. After the inbound parcels sorted by the inbound parcel logistics sorting system arrive at the distribution network, there is no need for secondary sorting according to the area couriers anymore. The packed inbound parcel boxes are directly allocated to the couriers for delivery, without occupying a large space at the distribution network, and even the distribution network can be not set up. This not only saves the floor area of the distribution network and reduces the rental cost of the distribution network, but also does not require storage, loading, unloading, and sorting at the distribution network, greatly saving labor costs. At the same time, the packed inbound parcel boxes are allocated to the couriers for delivery as soon as they arrive at the distribution network, reducing the time of the original secondary sorting, and significantly improving the distribution efficiency, which can greatly improve customer satisfaction.

Specific implementation mode
[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] The existing inbound item logistics distribution system adopts a hierarchical distribution network system of distribution center - distribution network points. Among them, at the distribution center level, there are two sorting and distribution methods. One is manual sorting. Since the number of inbound items at the distribution center is huge, manual sorting is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, usually at the distribution center level, intelligent sorting machines or sorting robots and other devices are used to achieve sorting. At the distribution network point level, there are also usually two methods. One is manual sorting, and the other is to use intelligent sorting machines or sorting robots and other devices to achieve sorting. Since distribution network points are usually located in urban areas, county and township centers, with a large number, expensive land occupation rent, and large investment, if intelligent sorting machines or sorting robots and other devices are used to achieve sorting, it requires a large floor area and its cost is too high. If manual sorting is used, a large amount of manpower is required, and the labor cost is also high, and the manual sorting efficiency is low. In the existing inbound item logistics distribution system, it is necessary to perform storage, loading and unloading, sorting and distribution twice at the distribution center and distribution network points, and the cost of each level is high and the efficiency is low, resulting in low efficiency, slow speed, high cost, and high manual error rate of the entire inbound item distribution system, affecting customer satisfaction. To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes an inbound item logistics distribution method, as Figure 3 shown, including the following steps:
[0028] A. When the inbound items arrive at the distribution center, they are first sorted at the first level according to the address information of different distribution network points, and the inbound items belonging to the same distribution network point address information are sorted out;
[0029] B. Next, at the sorting center, continue to perform secondary sorting on the incoming packages belonging to the same delivery network address information according to the address information and ID information of different couriers in the sub - areas under the delivery network, and sort out the incoming packages belonging to the same courier's address information and ID information;
[0030] C. Pack the sorted incoming packages belonging to the same courier's address information and ID information, and paste labels on the surface of the box indicating the address information of the delivery network and the courier's ID information;
[0031] D. Load the boxed incoming packages onto the transport vehicle corresponding to the delivery network according to the address information of the delivery network;
[0032] E. After the transport vehicle with the boxed incoming packages arrives at the corresponding delivery network, the area delivery courier picks up the boxed incoming packages belonging to him according to the address information of the delivery network, the courier's address information and ID information on the surface of the box, and directly delivers them to the users.
[0033] This intelligent logistics distribution method for incoming packages is that after the incoming packages are sorted for the first and second times at the sorting center, when the incoming packages arrive at the delivery network, there is no need to perform secondary sorting according to the area couriers anymore. The boxed incoming packages are directly assigned to the couriers for distribution, without occupying a large space in the delivery network, and even the delivery network can not be set up. This not only saves the floor area of the delivery network and the rental cost of the delivery network, but also does not require storage, loading, unloading and sorting at the delivery network, greatly saving labor costs. At the same time, the boxed incoming packages are assigned to the couriers for distribution after arriving at the delivery network, reducing the time of the original secondary sorting, and greatly improving the distribution efficiency, which can greatly improve customer satisfaction.
[0034] The present invention also provides an incoming package logistics sorting system that completes the first and second sorting at the sorting center, as Figures 4 - 6As shown in the figure, the inbound parcel logistics sorting system includes a first-level sorting system and a second-level sorting system. The first-level sorting system includes a first support 1, on which a first sorting conveyor belt 2 is arranged. A plurality of first sorting trolleys 3 are arranged on the first sorting conveyor belt 2, and the plurality of first sorting trolleys 3 are arranged at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the first sorting conveyor belt 2. The first sorting conveyor belt 2 drives the first sorting trolleys 3 to move backward along the conveying direction of the first sorting conveyor belt 2. Above the front end of the first sorting conveyor belt 2, a first code scanning and recognition device 4 is arranged, and the first code scanning and recognition device 4 is used to identify the delivery network address information to which the inbound parcel belongs. When the first sorting conveyor belt 2 is conveying, each first sorting trolley 3 passes through the first code scanning and recognition device 4 in turn. A plurality of first sorting ports 604 are arranged on the left and right sides of the first sorting conveyor belt 2, and each first sorting port 604 corresponds to a delivery network address information. The second-level sorting system includes a plurality of sub-sorting devices, and the number of the plurality of sub-sorting devices is the same as and corresponds one by one to the number of the plurality of first sorting ports 604. A conveyor belt 10 is arranged at each first sorting port 604. Each sub-sorting device includes a second support 601, on which a second sorting conveyor belt 602 is arranged. The second sorting conveyor belt 602 is connected to the first sorting conveyor belt 2 through the conveyor belt 10. A plurality of second sorting trolleys 603 are arranged on the second sorting conveyor belt 602, and the plurality of second sorting trolleys 603 are arranged at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the second sorting conveyor belt 602. The second sorting conveyor belt 602 drives the second sorting trolleys 603 to move backward along the conveying direction of the second sorting conveyor belt 602. Above the front end of the second sorting conveyor belt 602, a second code scanning and recognition device 604 is arranged, and the second code scanning and recognition device 604 is used to identify the courier address information and ID information to which the inbound parcel belongs. When the second sorting conveyor belt 602 is conveying, each second sorting trolley 603 passes through the second code scanning and recognition device 604 in turn. A plurality of second sorting ports 605 are arranged on the left and right sides of the second sorting conveyor belt 602, and each second sorting port 605 corresponds to a courier address information and ID information. A sorting basket 9 is arranged at each second sorting port 605. The first sorting conveyor belt 2 and the plurality of second sorting conveyor belts 602 form an "inverted L" structure. A controller 7 is also included, and the first sorting conveyor belt 2, the second sorting conveyor belt 602, the first code scanning and recognition device 4, the second code scanning and recognition device 604, the first sorting trolleys 3, and the second sorting trolleys 603 are respectively connected to the controller 7 through signals.
[0035] It should be noted that in the original text, the description of the "non" - shaped structure is incorrect. According to the content, it should be an "inverted L" structure. The translation is adjusted accordingly.The inbound goods logistics sorting system includes a first-level sorting system and a second-level sorting system, which can achieve two-level sorting. After the inbound goods at the distribution center are unloaded, they enter the inbound area. First, they enter the first sorting trolley 3 arranged on the first sorting conveyor belt 2 of the first-level sorting system one by one, and sequentially pass through the first barcode scanning and identification device 4 to identify the address information of the distribution network to which the inbound goods belong, and transmit the identified address information of the distribution network to the controller 7. After receiving the identified address information of the distribution network, the controller 7 transmits it to the control center of the first sorting trolley 3 where the inbound goods are located. When the first sorting conveyor belt 2 drives the first sorting trolley 3 to move backward along the conveying direction of the first sorting conveyor belt 2 to the first sorting port 604 corresponding to the address information of the distribution network, the first sorting trolley 3 sends the inbound goods in the trolley into the first sorting port 604 corresponding to the address information of the distribution network. The inbound goods sent into the first sorting port 604 then enter the second sorting trolley 603 arranged on the second sorting conveyor belt 602 of the second-level sorting system corresponding to the first sorting port 604 one by one through the conveyor belt 10, and sequentially pass through the second barcode scanning and identification device 604 to identify the address information and ID information of the courier to which the inbound goods belong, and transmit the identified address information and ID information of the courier to the controller 7. After receiving the identified address information and ID information of the courier, the controller 7 transmits it to the control center of the second sorting trolley 603 where the inbound goods are located. When the second sorting conveyor belt 602 drives the second sorting trolley 603 to move backward along the conveying direction of the second sorting conveyor belt 602 to the second sorting port 605 corresponding to the address information and ID information of the courier, the second sorting trolley 603 sends the inbound goods in the trolley into the second sorting port 605 corresponding to the address information and ID information of the courier. Then the inbound goods enter the corresponding sorting basket 9 and wait for packing. The inbound goods logistics sorting system can achieve the original primary sorting at the distribution center and secondary sorting at the distribution network at one time. After the inbound goods sorted by the inbound goods logistics sorting system arrive at the distribution network, there is no need to perform secondary sorting according to the area couriers anymore. The packed inbound goods boxes are directly allocated to the couriers for delivery, without occupying a large space at the distribution network, and even the distribution network can not be set up. This not only saves the floor area of the distribution network and saves the rental cost of the distribution network, but also does not require storage, loading and unloading, and sorting at the distribution network, greatly saving labor costs. At the same time, the packed inbound goods boxes are allocated to the couriers for delivery after arriving at the distribution network, reducing the time of the original secondary sorting, and greatly improving the distribution efficiency, which can greatly improve customer satisfaction. At the same time, the first sorting conveyor belt 2 and multiple second sorting conveyor belts 602 form a "non" - shaped structure, and its structure is more compact, which can make the overall structure of the inbound goods logistics sorting system more compact, with a smaller floor area and cost savings.
[0036] In the above embodiments, the first sorting conveyor belt 2 and the second sorting conveyor belt 602 can both adopt various existing sorting conveyor belts. In order to further reduce the floor area of the inbound parcel logistics sorting system, save the rental cost of the sorting center, and reduce the logistics distribution cost, the first sorting conveyor belt 2 is a single-layer sorting conveyor belt, and the second sorting conveyor belt 602 is a double-layer sorting conveyor belt. Since fewer sorting ports are required for primary sorting, there is no need to set up a double-layer sorting conveyor belt, and a conventional single-layer sorting conveyor belt can be used. A double-layer sorting conveyor belt is used for secondary sorting, which can greatly reduce the length of the second sorting conveyor belt 602, thereby reducing its floor area. The single-layer sorting conveyor belt can adopt an existing single-layer sorting conveyor belt, and the double-layer sorting conveyor belt can adopt various existing double-layer sorting and transmission devices, such as the double-layer vertical machine described in the patent with the application number 201910499355.2, the double-layer vertical circulating cross-belt sorting system described in the patent with the application number 201911016487.1, the rotary connecting rod type double-layer cross-belt sorting system described in the patent with the application number 201911016495.6, the double-layer linear cross-belt sorting system described in the patent with the application number 201911376034.X, a double-layer linear sorting machine described in the patent with the application number 201920066636.4, the sorting conveyor belt described in the patent with the application number 201810240854.5, etc. The sorting trolley can adopt various existing sorting trolleys, such as the sorting trolley described in the patent with the application number 201810240854.5.
[0037] Furthermore, the first barcode scanning and recognition device 4 and the second barcode scanning and recognition device 604 can adopt barcode scanning and recognition devices of the prior art, such as devices that can achieve single-sided or multi-sided barcode scanning and recognition. Preferably, the first barcode scanning and recognition device 4 and the second barcode scanning and recognition device 604 both adopt three-dimensional barcode scanning devices. In this way, as long as it is ensured that the barcode information is not on the bottom surface of the express box, barcode scanning and recognition can be completed. The barcode scanning efficiency is relatively high, the speed is relatively fast, and the probability of missed scanning is relatively small.
[0038] In order to further improve the sorting efficiency, a confluence conveyor belt 8 is connected to the front end of the first sorting conveyor belt 2. In this way, there can be multiple inbound ports, enabling the sorting system to operate at full capacity and improving the sorting efficiency of the sorting system.
