[0002] At present, when the production line needs to cool goods in the production process, a conveying belt is usually arranged to cool and transport the goods to be cooled. In order to achieve the specified cooling effect, the length of the conveying belt is usually long, and the cost of the long conveying belt is high, thereby increasing the production cost of the goods. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a goods production scheduling method and a carrying device, which can shorten the transportation distance between the front process production line and the rear process production line.

[0023] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the embodiments of this application, and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application.

[0024] The following is a brief explanation of the terms used in this application:

[0025] Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): These are transport vehicles equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic navigation devices, capable of traveling along a predetermined navigation path, and possessing safety protection and various transfer functions. In industrial applications, these driverless transport vehicles are powered by rechargeable batteries. Their movement and behavior are typically controlled by a computer, or their path is established using electromagnetic tracks attached to the floor. The AGV moves and operates based on the signals transmitted through these tracks.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The cargo production scheduling method of this application includes:

[0027] Step 011: Transport the goods to be cooled produced in the previous process production line to the first target storage location on the shelf for cooling.

[0028] In some production processes, it is necessary to cool semi-finished products before proceeding to the next stage of processing to ensure the quality of the finished goods. For example, during the production of ceramic tiles, a chemical reaction occurs in the tiles during the baking and firing process. If the hot tiles are then polished, they may deform and crack, affecting their quality. Therefore, in the production process, the semi-finished ceramic tiles (i.e., the goods to be cooled) produced in the baking and firing area (i.e., the preceding process line S1) need to be cooled. Once the semi-finished ceramic tiles obtained after baking and firing have cooled completely, they are transported to the polishing and grinding area (i.e., the following process line S2) to obtain high-quality ceramic tiles (i.e., the target goods).

[0029] Specifically, please combine Figure 4The conveying device 100 is in communication connection with a system (such as a cloud server), which is used to issue transportation tasks and maintain the inventory information of each shelf H1. After the pre-process production line S1 produces the goods to be cooled, a cooling application is sent to the system. The system issues a transportation task to the conveying device 100 in an idle state according to the working condition of the conveying device 100. After receiving the transportation task, the conveying device 100 moves to the position of the pre-process production line S1, loads the goods to be cooled, and transports the goods to be cooled to the first target storage position C11 of the shelf H1 for cooling.

[0030] Further, please refer to Figure 5 The shelf H1 has a first storage area Q1 for storing the goods to be cooled, and multiple first sub-storage areas Q11 are divided according to the specifications of the goods to be cooled, so that the goods to be cooled of the same specification are stored in the same first sub-storage area Q11, thereby facilitating the management of the shelf H1. After the pre-process production line S1 produces the goods to be cooled, the goods to be cooled are labeled with corresponding identification codes according to their specifications. The identification codes contain the specification information of the goods to be cooled. When loading the goods to be cooled, the conveying device 100 also scans the identification codes of the loaded goods to be cooled to identify the specifications of the loaded goods to be cooled. According to the first storage area Q1 already divided in the shelf H1, the first sub-storage area Q11 of the goods to be cooled with the same specification as the loaded goods to be cooled in the shelf H1 is obtained. According to the inventory information of the first sub-storage area Q11 displayed in the system, the first target storage position C11 of the loaded goods to be cooled in the first sub-storage area Q11 is obtained. Then, the loaded goods to be cooled are transported to the first target storage position C11 of the shelf H1 for cooling.

[0031] For example, if three different specifications of the to-be-cooled goods are stored in the shelf H1, i.e., the to-be-cooled goods 1 of specification 1, the to-be-cooled goods 2 of specification 2, and the to-be-cooled goods 3 of specification 3, the first storage area Q1 for storing the to-be-cooled goods is planned to have the first sub-storage area Q11 for storing the to-be-cooled goods 1, the first sub-storage area Q11 for storing the to-be-cooled goods 2, and the first sub-storage area Q11 for storing the to-be-cooled goods 3. After the to-be-cooled goods 1 is produced by the current process line S1, the to-be-cooled goods 1 is given an identification code corresponding to the specification 1, and a cooling application is sent to the system. After the system receives the cooling application, the transport task is sent to the handling device 100 in the idle state. The handling device 100 receiving the transport task moves to the position of the previous process line S1 to load the produced to-be-cooled goods 1, and scans the identification code of the loaded to-be-cooled goods 1 to identify the specification of the loaded to-be-cooled goods 1. Then, the handling device 100 acquires the first sub-storage area Q11 for storing the to-be-cooled goods 1 of specification 1 in the shelf H1 according to the first storage area Q1 divided in the shelf H1, and acquires the first target storage position C11 of the loaded to-be-cooled goods 1 according to the inventory information of the first sub-storage area Q11 displayed in the system, and transports the loaded to-be-cooled goods 1 to the first target storage position C11 for cooling.

[0032] Step 012: After the to-be-cooled goods are cooled for a preset time length, the to-be-cooled goods are determined to be cooled goods, and the first rack carrying the cooled goods is transported to the subsequent process line S2 for online production to obtain target goods.

[0033] Specifically, after the to-be-cooled goods are cooled for a preset time length, the to-be-cooled goods are determined to be cooled goods, and the handling device 100 transports the first rack carrying the cooled goods in the first target storage position C11 from the shelf H1 to the subsequent process line S2 for online production to obtain target goods.

[0034] Further, different specifications of to-be-cooled goods require different preset time lengths for cooling. For example, in the case of the same volume, the preset time length of the to-be-cooled goods with a larger specific surface area is shorter than that of the to-be-cooled goods with a smaller specific surface area, or in the case of the same specific surface area, the preset time length of the to-be-cooled goods with a larger volume is longer than that of the to-be-cooled goods with a smaller volume. Therefore, the identification code also contains preset time length information, so that when the handling device 100 scans the identification code of the to-be-cooled goods to identify the specification of the to-be-cooled goods, the specific preset time length of the to-be-cooled goods is also obtained, and the timing starts after the to-be-cooled goods is transported to the first target storage position C11. After the to-be-cooled goods is cooled for a preset time length, the to-be-cooled goods are determined to be cooled goods, and the first rack carrying the cooled goods is transported to the subsequent process line S2 for online production.

[0035] The goods production scheduling method of the present application transports the to-be-cooled goods produced by the front process production line to the first target storage position, and presets the cooling time of the to-be-cooled goods, so that after the to-be-cooled goods become cooled goods, the cooled goods are transported from the first target storage position to the rear process production line for production. Compared with the long transportation belt used by the front process production line and the rear process production line to realize the transportation and cooling of goods, the cost of the long transportation belt is higher, and the cost of the transportation equipment used to realize the transportation of goods and the cooling of goods by the goods shelf is lower, thereby greatly reducing the production cost of goods.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the goods production scheduling method of the present application is applied to the transportation equipment 100, which includes a first transportation equipment 110 and a second transportation equipment 120, and the goods shelf H1 includes a plurality of storage positions C1 arranged in a matrix. Step 011: transporting the to-be-cooled goods produced by the front process production line S1 to the first target storage position C11 of the goods shelf H1 for cooling, including:

[0037] Step 0111: transporting the first rack carrying the to-be-cooled goods to the second target storage position C12 corresponding to the first row of the target column in the matrix in the first target storage position C11 by the first transportation equipment 110;

[0038] Step 0112: transporting the first rack carrying the to-be-cooled goods in the second target storage position C12 to the first target storage position C11 for cooling by the second transportation equipment 120.

[0039] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 The transportation equipment 100 scans the identification code of the loaded to-be-cooled goods, obtains the specification information of the loaded to-be-cooled goods, and according to the inventory information of the first sub-storage area Q11 of the to-be-cooled goods with the same storage specification as the system displayed, obtains the occupation information of all storage positions C1 of the goods shelf H1, and then according to the vacant storage position C1, obtains the first target storage position C11 of the loaded to-be-cooled goods in the first sub-storage area Q11.

[0040] The conveying device 100 comprises a first conveying device 110 and a second conveying device 120. The first conveying device 110 is generally a forklift, an AGV or other conveying device 100 with a moving function. Such first conveying device 110 is difficult to place the first rack carrying the goods to be cooled in the storage position C1 above the second row of the rack H1. The second conveying device 120 is generally a stacker or other conveying device 100 that can realize the taking and placing of goods at a high level, so it can place the first rack carrying the goods to be cooled in any storage position C1 of the rack H1. Therefore, the first conveying device 110 is responsible for transporting the goods to be cooled from the previous process line S1 to the first target storage position C11 in the second target storage position C12 of the target column corresponding to the first row in the matrix, and the second conveying device 120 is responsible for transporting the goods to be cooled in the second target storage position C12 from the second target storage position C12 to the first target storage position C11 for cooling.

[0041] In particular, in order to ensure that the first conveying device 110 and the second conveying device 120 can successfully complete the handover work in the second target storage position C12, when obtaining the first target storage position C11, the storage positions C1 in the row above the first row are preferentially selected as the first target storage position C11. Only when all the storage positions C1 in a column of the rack H1 are placed with the goods to be cooled, the storage position C1 in the first row can be selected as the target storage position C11. Therefore, when the storage position C1 in the first row of the rack H1 is selected as the first target storage position C11, it means that all the storage positions C1 in the target column corresponding to the first target storage position C11 in the matrix are full.

[0042] For example, according to the method of dividing the storage positions C1 of the rack H1 from top to bottom and from left to right, the first target storage position C11 is the fifth row of the second column, and the first conveying device 110 will transport the first rack carrying the goods to be cooled to the second target storage position C12 in the first row of the second column of the rack H1. When the first rack carrying the goods to be cooled is placed in the second target storage position C12, the system issues a transportation task to the second conveying device 120. After receiving the transportation task, the second conveying device 120 will move to the second target storage position C12 and transport the first rack carrying the goods to be cooled in the second target storage position C12 to the first target storage position C11 for cooling.

[0043] In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the first rack carrying the to-be-cooled goods when being placed in the first target storage position C11 or the second target storage position C12, and avoid the first rack carrying the to-be-cooled goods from colliding with the support of the rack H1 during transportation, the first carrying device 110 can also be provided with a positioning device, such as a visual camera, so that when the first carrying device 110 loads the first rack carrying the to-be-cooled goods, the positioning device can be used to collect the position information of the first rack carrying the to-be-cooled goods, so as to define the position of the first rack carrying the to-be-cooled goods relative to the first carrying device 110, so that the first rack carrying the to-be-cooled goods can be placed in the preset position of the first carrying device 110, and the first rack carrying the to-be-cooled goods can be transported to the specified position in the second target storage position C12, so as to ensure that the first rack carrying the to-be-cooled goods can be accurately placed in the first target storage position C11.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the step 012 of transporting the first rack carrying the cooled goods to the post-process production line S2 for online production comprises:

[0045] The step 0121 of transporting the first rack carrying the cooled goods in the first target storage position C11 to the preset warehouse-out area Q2 of the rack H1 by the second carrying device 120;

[0046] The step 0122 of transporting the first rack carrying the cooled goods in the preset warehouse-out area Q2 to the post-process production line S2 for online production by the first carrying device 110.

[0047] Specifically, after the second carrying device 120 transports the to-be-cooled goods to the first target storage position C11, the second carrying device 120 will scan the identification code of the to-be-cooled goods again to identify the specifications of the to-be-cooled goods, and obtain the preset time length of the to-be-cooled goods. At the same time, the second carrying device 120 starts timing, and uploads the information of the to-be-cooled goods and the information of the first target storage position C11 of the to-be-cooled goods to the system to update the inventory information in real time. When the to-be-cooled goods are cooled for the preset time length and it is determined that the to-be-cooled goods are cooled goods, the second carrying device 120 will transport the first rack carrying the cooled goods in the first target storage position C11 to the preset warehouse-out area Q2 of the rack H1, and send a warehouse-out application to the system when the cooled goods (or the first rack carrying the cooled goods) are placed in the preset warehouse-out area Q2 of the rack H1. The system receiving the warehouse-out application will issue a transportation task to the first carrying device 110 in an idle state. After receiving the transportation task, the first carrying device 110 moves to the preset warehouse-out area Q2, and transports the cooled goods (or the first rack carrying the cooled goods) in the preset warehouse-out area Q2 to the post-process production line S2 for online production.

[0048] Further, after the second conveying device 120 transports the cooled goods to the preset outbound area Q2, the second conveying device 120 uploads the information of the cooled goods and the information of the first target storage position C11 of the cooled goods to the system, so as to update the inventory information of the first target storage position C11 of the cooled goods transported to the preset outbound area Q2 in time to empty, thereby updating the inventory information in real time and facilitating the orderly management of the shelf H1.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the goods production scheduling method of the embodiments of the present application comprises:

[0050] Step 013: After the cooled goods are produced online, the first rack carrying the cooled goods is determined as the second rack not carrying goods, and the second rack is transported to the shelf H1 for storage.

[0051] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 When the conveying device 100 transports the first rack carrying the cooled goods to the post-process production line S2, the post-process production line S2 will produce the cooled goods on the first rack carrying the cooled goods, so that the first rack becomes a state of not carrying goods. At this time, the first rack carrying the cooled goods is determined as the second rack not carrying goods. At the same time, in order to facilitate the management and transportation of the second rack, the conveying device 100 transports the second rack to the shelf H1 for storage.

[0052] Further, please refer to Figure 5 The shelf H1 also specially divides a storage area Q3 for storing the second rack not carrying goods. When the conveying device 100 transports the second rack not carrying goods from the post-process production line S2 to the shelf H1, the conveying device 100 will obtain the target storage position C13 of the transported second rack not carrying goods according to the inventory information of the storage area Q3 of the shelf H1 for storing the second rack not carrying goods. Then the conveying device 100 transports the transported second rack not carrying goods to the target storage position C13 of the second rack, and uploads the information of the target storage position C13 of the second rack to the system, so as to update the inventory information of the storage area Q3 for storing the second rack in real time.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the goods production scheduling method of the embodiments of the present application comprises:

[0054] Step 014: Transport the second rack not carrying goods in the shelf H1 to the pre-process production line S1, so that the second rack carries the cooled goods to be produced again by the pre-process production line S1.

[0055] Specifically, in order to recycle the second racks without carrying goods, it is necessary to timely transport the second racks without carrying goods to the front process production line S1 to carry the to-be-cooled goods generated again by the front process production line S1. Therefore, after the carrying device 100 transports the second rack without carrying goods to the target storage position C1 in the goods shelf H1, the system is sent a transport application in the first time, so that the system can timely schedule the carrying device 100 to transport the second rack without carrying goods in the goods shelf H1 to the front process production line S1.

[0056] Further, since there are many carrying devices 100 moving in the front process production line S1, the goods shelf H1 and the rear process production line S2, in order to avoid the moving path sending conflict between the carrying devices 100, after receiving the transport task, the carrying device 100 will calculate the optimal driving route of the carrying device 100 according to the distance between the transport starting point and the transport ending point and the moving path of other moving carrying devices 100. For example, when the carrying device 100 needs to transport the second rack without carrying goods in the goods shelf H1 to the front process production line S1, the optimal driving route of the carrying device 100 is calculated and planned according to the path between the goods shelf H1 and the front process production line S1 and the moving path of other moving carrying devices 100, and the carrying device 100 moves according to the optimal driving route, thereby improving the transport efficiency of the carrying device 100.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the goods production scheduling method of the present application is applied to the carrying device 100, and the carrying device 100 includes a first carrying device 110 and a second carrying device 120. Step 014: transporting the second rack without carrying goods in the goods shelf H1 to the front process production line S1 to make the second rack carry the to-be-cooled goods produced again by the front process production line S1, comprising:

[0058] Step 0141: transporting the second rack to the preset outbound area Q2 of the goods shelf H1 by the second carrying device 120;

[0059] Step 0142: transporting the second rack in the preset outbound area Q2 to the front process production line S1 by the first carrying device 110 to make the second rack carry the to-be-cooled goods produced again by the front process production line S1.

[0060] Specifically, the second conveying device 120 is used to transport the second rack from the target storage position C1 to the preset outbound area Q2 of the rack H1, that is, the second conveying device 120 is responsible for transporting the to-be-cooled goods within the range of the rack H1. The first conveying device 110 transports the second rack in the preset outbound area Q2 of the rack H1 from the preset outbound area Q2 of the rack H1 to the front process production line S1, that is, the first conveying device 110 is responsible for transporting the to-be-cooled goods between the front process production line S1 and the preset outbound area Q2, so that the second rack carries the to-be-cooled goods produced by the front process production line S1 again.

[0061] In addition, after the second conveying device 120 transports the second rack to the preset outbound area Q2, the information of the second rack and the information of the target storage position C1 of the second rack are uploaded to the system, so as to update the inventory information of the second target storage position C1 that has been transported to the preset outbound area Q2 to be empty in time, thereby updating the inventory information in real time and facilitating the orderly management of the rack H1.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the goods production scheduling method of the embodiments of the present application comprises:

[0063] Step 015: Transport the target goods to the third target storage position C14 of the rack H1 for storage, and update the inventory information of the rack H1 according to the quantity of the target goods.

[0064] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 When the target goods are produced by the rear process production line S2, the conveying device 100 acquires the third target storage position C14 of the rack H1 according to the inventory information of the rack H1 in the system, and transports the target goods from the rear process production line S2 to the third target storage position C14 for storage, and then updates the inventory information of the rack H1 according to the quantity of the target goods.

[0065] Further, please refer to Figure 5, the second storage area Q4 in the rack H1 is used to store the target goods, and multiple second sub-storage areas Q41 are divided according to the specifications of the target goods, so that target goods of the same specification are stored together, facilitating the management of the rack H1. After the target goods produced by the post-process production line S2, the target goods are labeled with corresponding identification codes according to the specifications of the produced target goods, that is, the identification codes contain the specification information of the target goods. When the carrying device 100 loads the produced target goods, it scans the identification code of the loaded target goods to identify the specification of the loaded target goods, and selects the second sub-storage area Q41 in which target goods of the same specification as the loaded target goods are stored according to the second storage area Q4 already divided in the rack H1, and then obtains the third target storage position C14 of the loaded target goods in combination with the inventory information in the system, and transports the loaded target goods to the third target storage position C14 of the rack H1 for storage. When the loaded target goods are transported to the third target storage position C14, the carrying device 100 also uploads the quantity of the transported target goods to the system to update the inventory information of the second sub-storage area Q41 of the rack H1 in time.

[0066] For example, three specifications of target goods need to be stored in the rack H1, which are target goods 4 of specification 4, target goods 5 of specification 5, and target goods 6 of specification 6. When the post-process production line S2 produces target goods 5, the produced target goods 5 are labeled with an identification code corresponding to specification 5, and a storage application is sent to the carrying device 100. After receiving the storage application, the carrying device 100 moves to the position of the post-process production line S2 to load the target goods 5. When loading the target goods 5, the carrying device 100 also scans the identification code of the loaded target goods to obtain the target goods 5. Then, the carrying device 100 obtains the second sub-storage area Q41 in which the target goods 5 are stored in the rack H1 according to the second storage area Q4 already divided in the rack H1, and obtains the third target storage position C14 of the loaded target goods 5 according to the inventory information of the second sub-storage area Q41 in which the target goods 5 are stored in the rack H1 in the system, and transports the loaded target goods 5 to the third target storage position C14 for storage, and then updates the inventory information of the second sub-storage area Q41 of the rack H1 according to the quantity of the transported target goods 5.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 12 , in some embodiments, the goods production scheduling method of the present application is applied to the carrying device 100, the carrying device 100 includes a first carrying device 110 and a second carrying device 120, the rack H1 includes multiple storage positions C1, the multiple storage positions C1 are arranged in a matrix, and step 015: transporting the target goods to the third target storage position C14 of the rack H1 for storage, comprising:

[0068] Step 0151: transporting the target goods in the third target storage position C14 to the fourth target storage position C15 in the first row of the corresponding target column in the matrix by the first handling equipment 110.

[0069] Step 0152: transporting the target goods in the fourth target storage position C15 to the third target storage position C14 for storage by the second handling equipment 120.

[0070] Specifically, the handling equipment 100 includes the first handling equipment 110 and the second handling equipment 120. Since the first handling equipment 110 and the second handling equipment 120 are different in type, the first handling equipment 110 is used to transport the target goods from the post-process production line S2 to the fourth target storage position C15 in the first row of the corresponding target column in the matrix, and the second handling equipment 120 is used to transport the target goods in the fourth target storage position C15 from the fourth target storage position C15 to the third target storage position C14 for storage.

[0071] For example, the storage positions C1 of the shelf H1 are divided according to the method from top to bottom and from left to right.
