Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of information processing technology, and in particular to methods, apparatus and electronic devices for providing packaging material model recommendation information. Background Technology

[0002] In the fulfillment of product information services, it involves shipping goods to users. Before shipping, the goods need to be packaged (i.e., packaged with boxes or bags). For some fragile or other special goods, protective film (such as bubble wrap or heat insulation film) needs to be used to wrap the goods before boxing or bagging them to provide cushioning or protection in the event of a collision.

[0003] On the other hand, merchants may provide a variety of different sizes of packaging boxes or bags for packers to choose from. In principle, packers should choose the appropriate size of packaging box / bag based on the volume of the goods to be packaged, so as to avoid waste or more environmental pollution caused by packaging boxes / bags that are too large.

[0004] However, when goods are wrapped in protective film before being boxed or bagged, the film's thickness results in a volume, and since it needs to be packed along with the goods, the actual required box volume exceeds the goods' volume. This makes choosing a suitable box more difficult. An oversized box leads to waste and environmental pollution, while an undersized box cannot hold the goods, requiring packers to replace boxes, thus impacting shipping efficiency.

[0069] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0070] In this embodiment, a service can be provided to recommend packaging box or bag models to users such as packers. That is, based on the volume of the items to be packaged and the capacity of various packaging box or bag models, a suitable packaging box / bag model can be determined and recommended to the user. Specifically, in cases where protective film needs to be used to wrap the items before packing, since both the protective film and the items need to be placed inside the packaging box or bag, the volume occupied by the protective film must also be considered when recommending packaging box or bag models.

[0071] To achieve the above objectives, one approach is to treat the protective film as a separate item, calculate its volume, and then simply add it to the item's volume to obtain the total volume. The appropriate box or bag size can then be recommended based on this total volume. However, since the protective film is not directly folded and filled into the box or bag, but rather first wrapped around the item before being packed, the resulting change in the item's volume is different from directly filling the box or bag. Therefore, treating the protective film as a separate item ignores the actual folding and wrapping processes involved, leading to significant errors in the estimation results.

[0072] To address the above situation, this application provides a corresponding solution. In this solution, the target item to be packaged and the protective film can first be modeled as cuboids. Then, based on the dimensions of the first cuboid corresponding to the target item and the second cuboid corresponding to the protective film, the wrapping method for using the specific protective film to wrap the target item can be determined. This includes how the item should be placed, from which side of the item, and from which direction the protective film should begin wrapping, etc. Next, the dimensions and / or volume of the third cuboid formed after wrapping the target item according to the described wrapping method are determined. Thus, the size of the packaging box / bag can be recommended based on the dimensions and / or volume of this third cuboid. By considering the specific wrapping method and estimating the changes in size and / or volume after wrapping according to this method, the accuracy of the recommended packaging box / bag size can be improved, reducing the probability of the packaging box / bag being too large or too small.

[0073] From a system architecture perspective, the embodiments of this application can provide a packaging box / bag model recommendation system. For example... Figure 1 As shown, in the application scenario of packaging goods, the following components may be included: goods 101 and their associated barcode (or QR code, etc.) 102, scanner 103, packer 104, computer 105, bubble wrap 106, and database 107. Each time an item is packaged, one bubble wrap 106 can be used. The bubble wrap 106 can have a fixed size, or it can have multiple different sizes. During packaging, the packer can choose a specific size of bubble wrap, or cut the required length from a roll of bubble wrap to form a single bubble wrap, etc. The recommendation system in this embodiment mainly solves the problem of determining the packaging method for the goods 101 and the bubble wrap based on their dimensions, as well as the change in the size of the goods after packaging according to this method. Furthermore, based on the changed size and volume, suitable packaging boxes or bags can be recommended, informing the packer 104 which type of packaging box or bag should be used. This ensures that after the product 101 is wrapped in bubble wrap 106, it can be placed into the appropriate type of packaging box or bag without being too large or too small.

[0074] In the above Figure 1In the application scenario shown, during the specific implementation process, before packing product 101, the packer 104 first scans the product's barcode 102 using scanner 103, and the barcode data is transmitted to computer 105. After the product barcode 102 is scanned, computer 105 can retrieve the corresponding product's size data from database 107 based on the barcode information. The specific product can be modeled as a cuboid, and the size data can include length, width, and height. Additionally, the database can also include bubble wrap size data; in this embodiment, bubble wrap can also be modeled as a cuboid, and the size data can include length, width, and thickness. Then, based on the specific product and bubble wrap size information, the corresponding wrapping method and the changes in the product's size and volume after wrapping can be determined. Furthermore, since it is also necessary to recommend packaging box or bag models, the database can also store size information corresponding to various optional packaging box / bag models.

[0075] The specific implementation schemes provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below.

[0076] Example 1

[0077] First, Embodiment 1 of this application provides a method for providing packaging material model recommendation information, see [link to previous document]. Figure 2 The method may include:

[0078] S201: Model the target item to be packaged and the protective film as cuboids respectively, and obtain the size information of the first cuboid corresponding to the target item and the size information of the second cuboid corresponding to the protective film.

[0079] In this embodiment, the target item can be a commodity, goods, or other items that need to be packaged after being wrapped in a protective film. Specifically, to facilitate estimation of the changes in size and volume of the item after being wrapped in the protective film, both the target item and the protective film can be modeled as cuboids. For easy distinction, the cuboid corresponding to the target item can be called the first cuboid, and the cuboid corresponding to the protective film can be called the second cuboid.

[0080] In practical implementation, when packaging a specific target object, the dimensions of the first cuboid corresponding to the target object and the dimensions of the second cuboid corresponding to the protective film can be obtained. The dimensions of the first and second cuboids can be provided manually by the packer or other user, or, if the specific item is merchandise or goods, then... Figure 1As shown, the correspondence between different item identifiers and the dimensions of the corresponding first cuboid can be pre-stored in the database. After the packer scans the barcode of the item to be packaged, the identifier of the item can be entered into the computer, which can then retrieve the dimensions of the corresponding first cuboid by querying the database. Regarding the dimensions of the second cuboid corresponding to the protective film, if the protective film has a fixed size, or if it comes in multiple models, each with a fixed size, the dimensions of the second cuboid corresponding to the protective film can also be stored in the database. Packers and other users can input the model identifier of the protective film, allowing the computer to further query the database to determine the dimensions of the second cuboid corresponding to the currently used protective film.

[0081] The dimensions of the first cuboid can be expressed as length, width, and height, with the longest side being the height, and the other two sides being the width and length, respectively. For ease of understanding, the dimensions of the second cuboid can be expressed as length, height, and thickness, with the longest side being the length, followed by the height, and the shortest side being the thickness. Of course, these definitions of the sides are for descriptive purposes only, and in practical applications, they are not limited to these methods.

[0082] S202: Based on the size information of the first cuboid and the size information of the second cuboid, determine the wrapping method when wrapping the target item with the protective film.

[0083] After determining the dimensions of the first and second cuboids, the specific wrapping method for the target item using protective film can be determined. Specifically, there are several wrapping methods; one classic method is as follows... Figure 3 As shown in the diagram. 301 represents the first cuboid corresponding to the goods or merchandise, and 302 represents the second cuboid corresponding to the protective film. 303 represents the length x of the first cuboid, 304 represents the height y of the first cuboid, and 305 represents the width z of the first cuboid. 306 represents the length L of the second cuboid, 307 represents the height H of the second cuboid, and 308 represents the thickness D of the second cuboid.

[0084] Specifically, when wrapping items with protective film, firstly, the longest side of the first cuboid (i.e., Figure 3 The height side of the item shown in 304 and the shorter side of the second cuboid excluding the thickness side (i.e., Figure 3 The protective film shown in Figure 307 is placed parallel to its height edge. At this point, the first cuboid can be positioned with the shorter side (i.e.,...) as the guide. Figure 3The two planes formed by the length side shown in 303 and the width side shown in 305 are used as the bottom plane, and the other four planes ( Figure 3 The two faces formed by the height side shown in 304 and the length side shown in 303, and the two faces formed by the height side shown in 304 and the width side shown in 305, are used as side faces. Then, the longest side in the second cuboid (i.e., Figure 3 Along the length side (as shown in Figure 306), the second cuboid is wrapped around the side of the first cuboid multiple times. When the length side of the second cuboid is used up, it can be fixed with tape or the like. Finally, the excess portion forming cavities at the two bottom surfaces is folded and wrapped, and then fixed with tape or the like. This completes the process of wrapping the target object with the protective film.

[0085] Of course, other wrapping methods can be used in practice, but the calculation methods for changes in the size and volume of the item after wrapping may differ depending on the wrapping method.

[0086] S203: Simulate wrapping the target item according to the described wrapping method, and determine the size and / or volume of the third cuboid formed after wrapping.

[0087] Once the specific wrapping method is determined, the dimensions and / or volume of the target item after being wrapped according to that method can be determined. Specifically, the item wrapped in this way can also be modeled as a third cuboid, for example, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, point 401 represents the first cuboid before wrapping, and point 402 represents the third cuboid after wrapping with the protective film. It can be seen that after wrapping with the protective film, the length, width, height, and width of the cuboid all increase, changing from the original x, y, z dimensions to... , , The main purpose of this step S203 is to determine... , , The value of .

[0088] Specifically, it can be based on the determined packaging method. , , The value is calculated. For example, in Figure 3In the wrapping method shown, the protective film first needs to be wrapped around the side of the item, which increases the length and width of the item's bottom surface. The increase depends on the number of wrapping turns and the thickness of the protective film. Then, when the cavity formed at the bottom surface is folded and wrapped, the height of the item increases, again depending on the number of wrapping turns, the number of folds, and the thickness of the protective film. Therefore, in practical implementation, we can first determine the number of wrapping turns the second cuboid can make around the side of the first cuboid when wrapping it multiple times according to the described method. Then, based on the number of wrapping turns and the thickness of the second cuboid, we can determine the dimensions of each side of the third cuboid formed after wrapping according to the described method.

[0089] Specifically, there are several ways to determine the number of turns the second cuboid can wrap around the side of the first cuboid. For example, in one approach, the required length of the protective film along the longest side of the second cuboid can be expressed as a third expression with the number of turns as the sole independent variable, based on a first expression showing how the perimeter of the bottom surface changes with the number of turns, and a second expression showing how the required length of the protective film along the longest side of the second cuboid changes with the perimeter of the bottom surface. Then, the number of turns can be determined by setting the third expression equal to the length of the longest side of the second cuboid.

[0090] Specifically, to derive the first expression mentioned above, the following derivation process can be performed:

[0091] First, the perimeter of the bottom surface of the item without being wrapped in protective film is: (1)

[0092] After wrapping the protective film around the side of the item for the first time along its length, the circumference of the bottom surface becomes: (2)

[0093] And used 0.5 ( The protective film is 0.5 (units) long, meaning it occupies 0.5 (units) of the length of the second cuboid corresponding to the protective film. The length of ).

[0094] After wrapping the protective film around the side of the item for the second time along its length, the circumference of the bottom surface becomes: (3)

[0095] And used 0.5 ( The protective film is 0.5 (units) long, meaning it occupies 0.5 (units) of the length of the second cuboid corresponding to the protective film. The length of ).

[0096] Following this pattern, after wrapping the protective film around the side of the item for the nth time along its length, the circumference of the bottom surface becomes:

[0097] (4)

[0098] And used 0.5 ( The protective film is 0.5 (units) long, meaning it occupies 0.5 (units) of the length of the second cuboid corresponding to the protective film. The length of ).

[0099] Therefore, the total length of the protective film used for wrapping n times is:

[0100]

[0101] =

[0102] = (5)

[0103] Since the length of the protective film used during the wrapping process should be less than the total length L of the protective film, therefore:

[0104] (6)

[0105] Let equation (6) above be an equation, and count a winding less than one turn as one turn, then the formula for calculating the number of winding turns is:

[0106]

[0107] (7)

[0108] Thus, as Figure 5 The image shown is a bottom view of an item wrapped in a protective film. In this view, 501 shows the length x of the first cuboid before wrapping, 502 shows the width z of the first cuboid before wrapping, and 503 shows the length of the third cuboid after wrapping. Figure 504 shows the width of the third cuboid obtained after winding. The entanglement can be determined. After a week, the length of the third cuboid and width :

[0109] (8)

[0110] (9)

[0111] In other words, by using the above formulas (8) and (9), the dimensions of the two shorter sides corresponding to the bottom surface of the third cuboid after being wrapped in the above wrapping method can be determined based on the number of wrapping turns and the thickness value of the second cuboid: the dimensions of the corresponding sides in the first cuboid are increased by twice the product of the number of wrapping turns and the thickness value of the second cuboid.

[0112] The length and width of the resulting third cuboid were determined using the above method. Regarding the height of the third cuboid, i.e., the length of its longest side, since cavities are formed at the top and bottom of the wrapped item, and the excess protective film around these cavities is folded and then secured with tape, the change in height of the third cuboid depends on the number of folds of the protective film. For example, as... Figure 6 As shown, this is a side view after the above-mentioned folding and wrapping is completed. 601 shows the length x of the first cuboid, 602 shows the height y of the first cuboid, and 603 shows the height of the third cuboid formed after wrapping. Figure 604 shows the length of the third cuboid formed after wrapping. By observing the above Figure 6 It can be seen that, firstly, based on the shorter side (excluding the thickness side) of the second cuboid (i.e., Figure 3 The height H of the second cuboid shown in Figure 307 and the longest side of the first cuboid (i.e., Figure 3 The difference between the height edge (y) of the first cuboid shown in Figure 304 (i.e., Hy) and the two edges of the bottom surface of the first cuboid (i.e., Figure 3 By determining the size relationship between the length side x of the first cuboid shown in 303 and the width side z of the first cuboid shown in 305, the number of times the cavity formed at the bottom can be folded for wrapping can be determined. Then, the size of the longest side of the third cuboid can be obtained by adding the product of the number of wrapping turns, the thickness value of the second cuboid, and the number of folds to the size of the longest side of the first cuboid.

[0113] The relationship between the difference between the shorter side (excluding the thickness side) of the second cuboid and the longest side of the first cuboid, and the relationship between these two sides of the bottom surface of the first cuboid, may vary. For example:

[0114] 1. If ,but:

[0115] (10)

[0116] 2. If ,or ,but:

[0117] (11)

[0118] 3. If ,but:

[0119] (12)

[0120] The length, width, and height of the third cuboid were determined using the above method. Then, the volume of the third cuboid can be obtained from the dimensions of each side of the third cuboid.

[0121] (13)

[0122] S204: Recommend the model of packaging box / bag based on the dimensions and / or volume of the third cuboid.

[0123] Having obtained the above as well as Then, based on these values ​​and the dimensions of various packaging materials (including boxes or bags), suitable box or bag models can be recommended. Specifically, when recommending packaging material models, the model can be determined based on the dimensions of each side of the third cuboid, or on the volume of the third cuboid, or a combination of the dimensions and volume information of the third cuboid, and so on. Of course, for items that need to be pre-wrapped with a protective film, boxes are usually more suitable; therefore, suitable box models can be recommended first.

[0124] In summary, the solution provided in this application allows for the modeling of both the target item and the protective film as cuboids before packaging or bagging. The dimensions of the first cuboid corresponding to the target item and the second cuboid corresponding to the protective film are then obtained. Based on these dimensions, the packaging method for the target item can be determined, and the item can be simulated for wrapping using the protective film. The dimensions and / or volume of the resulting third cuboid are then determined. This allows for the recommendation of packaging box / bag models based on the dimensions and / or volume of the third cuboid. By predicting the specific packaging method before recommending a particular packaging material model, and determining the changes in size and / or volume after wrapping, the accuracy of the recommended packaging material model is improved, reducing the likelihood of recommending a model that is too large or too small.

[0148] The number of wrapping turns is determined by setting the third expression equal to the length of the longest side in the second cuboid.

[0149] The size-determining subunit can be specifically used for:

[0150] Based on the number of wrapping turns and the thickness of the second cuboid, the dimensions of the two shorter sides corresponding to the bottom surface in the third cuboid formed after wrapping according to the wrapping method are determined to be: based on the dimensions of the corresponding sides in the first cuboid, the product of the number of wrapping turns and the thickness of the second cuboid is increased to twice.
