Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of logistics picking, and in particular to a Chinese medicine slice dispensing system. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, Chinese medicine e-commerce enterprises have flourished, especially boxed Chinese medicine slices, and the industry has a broad market space. But so far, almost all e-commerce companies still use the traditional delivery process, that is, according to the customer's order, they manually select and pick goods for customers at hundreds or thousands of shelves. From the actual work situation, there are the following problems:

[0003] 1. The labor intensity of employees is high. Pickers have to walk 30,000 to 40,000 steps every day, which is tiring and harmful to the body;

[0004] 2. Low work efficiency. Each picker can pick up a maximum of 2,000 packages per day, which is about 1 ton.

[0005] 3. Because picking is done manually, the accuracy of picking is low and errors are inevitable. There may be errors in quantity and / or type. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a Chinese herbal medicine dispensing system, which can improve the problems of low picking efficiency, high labor intensity and low picking accuracy in the manual picking method in the prior art.

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a Chinese herbal medicine dispensing system includes a WMS warehouse management system and at least one silo, wherein the WMS warehouse management system is used to input and output drug instructions, wherein the drug instructions include drug types and drug quantities; and further includes:

[0008] The PLC control unit is connected to the WMS warehouse management system for receiving the drug instructions output by the WMS warehouse management system. The number of PLC control units is equal to the number of silos, and they are connected one-to-one, so that the corresponding silos can be controlled to open and output the corresponding number of drugs through the PLC control unit;

[0009] Picking units, the number of which is equal to the number of PLC control units and connected to the corresponding PLC control units, and the picking units are connected to the discharge end of the silo to transport the medicines output from the silo under the control of the PLC control unit;

[0010] The shipping unit is used to receive medicines output by several picking units.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when picking goods, the staff only needs to input the type and required quantity of tablets on the WMS warehouse management system, and the corresponding PLC control unit will be started, and the corresponding picking unit will output the medicine with the corresponding name and quantity, and transmit the medicine through the shipping unit. The staff only needs to pick the goods at the discharge end of the shipping unit, thereby improving the problems of low picking efficiency, high labor intensity and low accuracy of manual picking in the existing manual picking method.

[0012] Preferably, the picking unit 2 includes a discharging conveyor belt, a climbing conveyor belt, a chute, a transition conveyor belt and a weighing conveyor belt, which are all connected to and controlled by the PLC control unit. The discharging conveyor belt, the climbing conveyor belt, the chute, the transition conveyor belt and the weighing conveyor belt are connected in sequence, and the feeding end of the discharging conveyor belt is connected to the discharging end of the silo, and one end of the weighing conveyor belt is connected to the discharging unit. The weighing conveyor belt is used to detect the cumulative weight of the medicines and transmit the weight data to the PLC control unit. The PLC control unit converts the weight into the number of packages, and compares the cumulative number of packages with the specified number of packages. When it does not exceed the specified number of packages, the weighing conveyor belt transfers the medicines to the discharging unit.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, before using the picking unit to transport medicines, the PLC control unit is used to control the discharging conveyor belt, climbing conveyor belt, chute, transition conveyor belt and weighing conveyor belt to run in sequence, and then control the silo to open to transport the medicines away; when the medicines are transferred to the weighing conveyor belt, if it is detected that the number of medicines is less than or equal to the specified number of medicines, the weighing conveyor belt will transport the medicines to the shipping unit.

[0014] Preferably, the other end of the weighing conveyor belt is connected to the feed end of the climbing conveyor belt, so that when the PLC control unit converts the weight into the number of packages, and the accumulated number of packages is greater than the specified number of packages, the weighing conveyor belt transfers the medicines to the climbing conveyor belt.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the medicine is transferred to the weighing conveyor belt, the weighing conveyor belt is weighed and the weight data is transmitted to the PLC control unit. The PLC control unit converts the weight data into the number of packages and compares the number of packages with the specified number of packages. When the number exceeds the specified number, the PLC control unit controls the weighing conveyor belt to rotate and transfer the medicine to the climbing conveyor belt for retransmission and calculation until the required number is reached, and the number of packages weighed this time is not included in the cumulative value.

[0016] Preferably, the feed end of the climbing conveyor belt is a horizontal section, and the discharge end is an inclined section, which is inclined upward, and the weighing conveyor belt is connected to the horizontal section of the climbing conveyor belt.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the discharge end of the climbing conveyor belt as an inclined section, it is indirectly ensured that the weighing conveyor belt can transport the medicines and transfer them to the climbing conveyor belt, forming a closed loop of the system.

[0018] Preferably, at least three groups of first pair-beam type photoelectric sensors are spaced apart at the feed end of the climbing conveyor belt, and the first pair-beam type photoelectric sensors are connected to the PLC control unit.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first photoelectric sensor detects that there are medicines at the feeding end of the climbing conveyor belt, the PLC control unit controls the discharge conveyor belt to stop running to avoid congestion and accumulation of materials at this position.

[0020] Preferably, a plurality of rubber strips with material are arranged at intervals on the belt surface of the climbing conveyor belt, and the length direction of the rubber strips with material extends along the belt width direction of the climbing conveyor belt.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when medicines are transported by a climbing conveyor belt, the rubber strip with materials is used to receive the medicines. During the climbing stage, excess medicines will roll down from a high place, ensuring that the materials transported out are relatively uniform without piling.

[0022] Preferably, there is a spacing between the belt rubber strip and the end of the climbing conveyor belt, and the climbing conveyor belt includes a plurality of pressure rollers, which are located at the middle end of the climbing conveyor belt and press at both ends of the belt surface in the width direction.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the teeth of the pressure roller are pressed on the belt surface of the conveyor belt to ensure the horizontal state of the feeding end of the climbing conveyor belt and the inclined state of the discharging end.

[0024] Preferably, a group of gratings are fixed to the feed end of the transition conveyor belt, and the gratings are connected to the PLC control unit to detect and determine whether there are medicines at the feed end of the transition conveyor belt, and control the climbing conveyor belt to stop running through the PLC control unit.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when the grating detects the medicine, the climbing conveyor belt stops running to ensure that the medicine is no longer accumulated here.

[0026] Preferably, a group of second pair-type photoelectric sensors are fixed to the discharge end of the transition conveyor belt, and the second pair-type photoelectric sensors are connected to the PLC control unit to detect and determine that the medicines have arrived at the discharge end of the transition conveyor belt, and when the weighing conveyor belt is in a weighing state, the transition conveyor belt is controlled to stop running through the PLC control unit.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, when there is material on the weighing belt, the material on the transition belt stops when it reaches this photoelectric point, ensuring accurate weighing; when there is no material on the weighing belt, the transition belt is started again to drop the material onto the weighing belt for measurement.

[0028] Preferably, the material bin includes a material box that abuts against and opens downward toward a discharge conveyor belt, a plurality of baffles spaced apart in the material box, and a plurality of linear drive components for adjusting the inclination of the baffles. One end of the material box close to the discharge conveyor belt opens toward the discharge end of the discharge conveyor belt to allow the medicine to just pass through. The baffle is inclined, and the upper end is rotatably connected to the material box, and an opening for the medicine to pass through is formed at the lower end, and the inclination directions of two adjacent baffles are opposite. The linear drive component is connected to the PLC drive unit, and the drive end is rotatably connected to the baffle.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening between the baffle and the material box is adjusted by the linear drive component to allow the medicines to pass through, thereby preventing all the medicines in the box from being pressed on the discharge conveyor belt, resulting in the belt being unable to take away the medicines, thereby ensuring that the medicines can be discharged from the warehouse smoothly.

[0030] In summary, the present invention includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. Each silo is connected with a PLC control unit to control the opening and closing of the silo. At the same time, a picking unit controlled by the PLC control unit is connected to the discharge end of each silo, and the discharge ends of multiple picking units are connected to the delivery unit at the same time. The PLC control unit is connected to the WMS warehouse management system, so that when a certain value of a certain drug in the silo needs to be picked, the drug instruction can be input into the WMS warehouse management system. The WMS warehouse management system outputs the drug instruction to the corresponding PLC control unit. The PLC control unit controls the corresponding silo to open and controls the operation of the picking unit to transfer the corresponding number of drugs to the delivery unit. The picker only needs to collect and pack at the discharge port of the delivery unit, thereby improving the problems of low picking efficiency, high labor intensity and low picking accuracy in the manual picking method in the prior art;

[0032] 2. The picking unit includes a discharging conveyor belt, a climbing conveyor belt, a chute, a transition conveyor belt and a weighing conveyor belt. The weighing conveyor belt is not connected to the discharging unit and can transfer the medicines to the discharging unit. The weighing conveyor belt is also connected to the feeding end of the climbing conveyor belt to form a closed loop. The weighing conveyor belt transfers the accumulated weight of the medicines to the PLC control unit, and the PLC control unit converts the weight into the number of packages. When the number of packages is greater than the specified number of packages, the PLC control unit can control the weighing conveyor belt to transfer the medicines to the climbing conveyor belt so as to re-transfer and measure, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the type and quantity of the medicine output;

[0033] 3. By setting a first pair-beam photoelectric sensor at the feeding end of the climbing conveyor belt, when it detects that there are medicines at the feeding end of the climbing conveyor belt, the discharging action of the silo is stopped to prevent the accumulation of medicines; at the same time, a rubber strip with material is set on the climbing conveyor belt to form an interval transmission effect of multiple medicines to prevent accumulation; correspondingly, a grating is set at the feeding end of the transition conveyor belt to stop the transmission action of the climbing conveyor belt when it detects that there are medicines at the feeding end of the transition conveyor belt to prevent; at the same time, a second pair-beam photoelectric sensor is set at the discharging end of the transition conveyor belt to detect that there are medicines there, and when the weighing sensor has objects, the operation of the transition conveyor belt is stopped to ensure the weighing accuracy of the weighing sensor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The present invention is further described.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention proposes a Chinese herbal medicine dispensing system, including a WMS warehouse management system, at least one silo 1, at least one PLC control unit, at least one picking unit 2 and a shipping unit 3; the WMS warehouse management system is a well-known technology for those skilled in the art, and it is a comprehensive management system with inventory management functions. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is used to input and output drug instructions, and the drug instructions include drug types and drug quantities.

[0041] The silo 1 is used to store medicines, that is, a plurality of silos 1 are respectively used to store different types of medicines separately.

[0042] The PLC control unit includes a PLC control module and a data storage and conversion module, both of which are connected to the WMS warehouse management system for communication so as to receive the drug instructions output by the WMS warehouse management system; when the number of PLC control units is equal to the number of silos 1 and both are multiple, they are connected one by one to control the corresponding silo 1 to open through the PLC control unit, and to output the corresponding number of drugs from the discharge end of the silo 1.

[0043] The number of picking units 2 is equal to the number of PLC control units, and they are connected one-to-one with the corresponding PLC control units so as to be opened and closed under the control of the PLC control units; that is, the number of picking units 2 is equal to that of silo 1. In the embodiment of the present invention, the picking units 2 are connected to the discharge end of silo 1, so that under the control of the PLC control unit, the medicines output from silo 1 are transported away.

[0044] The shipping unit 3 uses a conveyor belt, which is simultaneously connected to the discharge end of no less than one picking unit 2 to receive and transport the medicines output by all picking units 2, making it convenient for staff to collect and pack the required medicines at the discharge end of the shipping unit 3.

[0045] In the figure, the silo 1, the PLC control unit and the picking unit 2 are only shown as a group of states.

[0046] When it is necessary to pick a certain kind of medicine in the warehouse, the staff inputs the type (usually the name) and quantity of the medicine into the WMS warehouse management system, and the WMS warehouse management system sends the medicine instruction to the corresponding PLC control unit. The PLC control unit controls the corresponding silo 1 to open, outputs the corresponding type and quantity of medicine, and controls the operation of the picking unit 2 to transfer the output medicine to the shipping unit 3, thereby completing the picking action. During the entire picking process, the staff only needs to input the medicine instruction and pack the medicine at the discharge end of the shipping unit, thereby improving the existing technology, where the labor intensity of employees is high, the pickers have to walk 30,000 to 40,000 steps a day, which is tiring and harmful to the body, and the work efficiency is low, and there are problems in manual picking such as wrong picking quantity and / or type.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3Specifically, the silo 1 includes a material box 11, a plurality of baffles 12, and a plurality of linear drive members 13; the material box 11 is vertically arranged, fixed to the ground by a bracket (not shown in the figure), and is located above the discharge conveyor belt 21, with its lower end abutting against the discharge conveyor belt 21 and opening downward toward the discharge conveyor belt 21, and an end of the material box 11 close to the discharge conveyor belt 21 opens toward the discharge end of the discharge conveyor belt 21, so that the medicines can just pass through. A plurality of baffles 12 are arranged in the material box 11 at intervals along the vertical direction, and the baffles 12 are arranged obliquely, and the inclination directions of two adjacent baffles 12 are opposite; the upper end of the baffle 12 is rotatably connected to the material box 11. The linear drive member 13 can be a cylinder connected to a PLC drive unit, and multiple ones are connected to multiple baffles 12 in a one-to-one correspondence. The linear drive member 13 is fixed to the material box 11, and its driving end is rotatably connected to the baffle 12 to push the baffle 12 to rotate, thereby changing the size of the opening formed by the free end of the baffle 12 and the material box 11 to allow the medicine to pass through.

[0048] When the medicine in the material box 11 needs to fall, the PLC drive unit drives the driving end of the linear drive member 13 to extend and retract, so that the medicine can fall, and the medicine falls onto the discharge conveyor 21 and is taken away by the discharge conveyor 21; in this process, the PLC drive unit can drive the linear drive member 13 to change the size of the opening formed by the free end of the baffle 12 and the material box 11, that is, control the length of the opening time, thereby controlling the amount of medicine falling. At the same time, the setting of multiple baffles 12 with adjustable inclination can prevent all types of medicines in the warehouse from being pressed on the baffle 12, thereby ensuring that the medicines are smoothly taken away by the discharge conveyor 21.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The picking unit 2 includes a discharge conveyor belt 21, a ramp conveyor belt 22, a chute 23, a transition conveyor belt 24 and a weighing conveyor belt 25. The discharge conveyor belt 21, the ramp conveyor belt 22, the transition conveyor belt 24 and the weighing conveyor belt 25 are all connected to the PLC control unit to be controlled and operated. The discharge conveyor belt 21 is arranged horizontally, and its feed end is connected to the discharge end of the silo 1; the ramp conveyor belt 22 includes a plurality of pressure rollers 221, the feed end of which is a horizontal section, and the discharge end is an inclined section inclined upward, and the pressure rollers 221 are pressed on the middle end of the belt surface of the ramp conveyor belt 22 and are located at both ends in the width direction of the belt surface; the feed end of the ramp conveyor belt 22 is connected to the discharge end of the discharge conveyor belt 21 to receive the medicines from the discharge conveyor belt 21 and transport the medicines to the discharge end.

[0050] The chute 23 is inclined, and the upper end is connected to the discharge end of the climbing conveyor belt 22 to guide the medicine. The transition conveyor belt 24 is horizontally arranged, and the feed end is connected to the discharge end of the chute 23.

[0051] The middle end of the weighing conveyor 25 is connected to the discharge end of the transition conveyor 24, and one end thereof is connected to the delivery unit 3, so that the medicines are transferred to the delivery unit 3 under the control of the PLC control unit to complete the delivery. The other end of the weighing conveyor 25 is connected to the feed end of the climbing conveyor 22, so that the climbing conveyor 22, the chute 23, the transition conveyor 24 and the weighing conveyor 25 form a closed loop.

[0052] When the medicine is conveyed on the weighing conveyor 25, the weighing conveyor 25 transmits the cumulative weight data of the medicine detected within a time period to the PLC control unit. The PLC control unit converts the data into the number of packages, and compares the number of packages with the specified number of packages. When the data does not exceed the specified number of packages, the PLC control unit controls the weighing conveyor 25 to start and transfer the medicine to the shipping unit. If there is a shortage of packages, the medicine is output from the silo 1 for the next measurement. If the measured number of packages exceeds the specified number of packages, the PLC control unit controls the weighing conveyor 25 to rotate in the opposite direction and transfer the medicine to the climbing conveyor 22. The number of packages weighed this time will not be included in the cumulative value, and all the packages of medicines this time will be imported into the climbing conveyor 22, and they will be sorted and conveyed by the inclination of the climbing conveyor 22 until the specified number of packages is reached.

[0053] For example: the customer has ordered 10 packages of the drug, and 8 packages have been shipped. At this time, 3 packages of drugs have fallen on the weighing conveyor 25, which adds up to 11 packages, exceeding the order quantity, so the weighing conveyor 25 is reversed to return the drugs to the climbing conveyor 22. If 2 or 1 packages of drugs fall on the weighing conveyor 25 at this time, the total number does not exceed the order quantity, and the measurement is valid this time, and the weighing conveyor 25 rotates forward to transport the drugs to the next process.

[0054] A transition plate is provided between the connection ends of the discharge conveyor belt 21 and the climbing conveyor belt 22 to ensure that the medicines can smoothly enter the climbing conveyor belt 22 .

[0055] Furthermore, at least three groups of first pair-type photoelectric sensors 222 are arranged at intervals at the feed end of the climbing conveyor belt 22. The first pair-type photoelectric sensors 222 are connected to the PLC control unit to be opened and closed by the PLC control unit. When the first pair-type photoelectric sensor 222 detects that there are medicines at the feed end of the climbing conveyor belt 22, the medicines may be medicines from the discharge conveyor belt 21 or the weighing conveyor belt 25. The PLC control unit controls the discharge conveyor belt 21 to stop running, that is, controls the linear drive 13 to run, so as to avoid congestion and accumulation of materials at this position until the medicines are transported away, thereby indirectly ensuring that the medicines are transported at intervals.

[0056] A plurality of strips 223 are arranged at intervals on the surface of the climbing conveyor belt 22. The length direction of the strips 223 extends along the width direction of the climbing conveyor belt 22 and is spaced apart from the pressing roller 221. When medicines are conveyed to the inclined end of the climbing conveyor belt 22, the strips 223 can receive the medicines and separate and transmit multiple medicines, thereby ensuring the transmission effect and preventing medicine congestion.

[0057] A group of gratings 241 is fixed at the feed end of the transition conveyor belt 24, and the gratings 241 are connected to the PLC control unit; when the gratings 241 detect and determine that there are medicines at the feed end of the transition conveyor belt 24, the PLC control unit controls the climbing conveyor belt 22 to stop running to prevent the medicines from accumulating on the transition conveyor belt 24.

[0058] A group of second pair-type photoelectric sensors 242 are fixed at the discharge end of the transition conveyor belt 24. The second pair-type photoelectric sensors 242 are connected to the PLC control unit to detect and determine that the medicines have reached the discharge end of the transition conveyor belt 24. When the weighing conveyor belt 25 is in the weighing state, the PLC control unit controls the transition conveyor belt 24 to stop running to prevent the medicines from piling up on the weighing conveyor belt 25, causing the medicines to pile up and affecting the weighing effect.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
