[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sorting control systems, and in particular to an automatic cargo sorting control system, method and readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the rise of online shopping, many users choose to buy goods online. Many goods need to go through certain procedures from the manufacturer to the user, such as product packaging, sorting, and delivery. Among all the procedures, the time spent on product sorting and delivery is usually the longest.

[0003] Traditional commodity sorting relies on manual sorting, so it is still difficult to improve the efficiency of sorting. Especially for items sent abroad, multiple goods from the same user are sorted together for subsequent express delivery, but manual sorting takes a long time.

[0004] For the existing cargo sorting, it is usually done automatically by a sorting machine. During the automatic sorting process of the sorting machine, the cargo sorted out from the delivery port each time still needs to be manually moved to the corresponding cargo wall. Different cargo needs to be assigned to the corresponding cargo wall, so the porter needs to know which cargo cavity he needs to move the sorted cargo to. In other words, in the existing sorting process, people are still needed, specifically porters, to find the cargo, and then they need to assign the cargo to the corresponding cargo wall. In this way, the efficiency of cargo sorting is greatly reduced. Summary of the invention

[0043] refer to Figures 1 to 6 A method for controlling automatic sorting of goods according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0044] Specifically, the automatic cargo sorting control method is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 The sorting device 100 shown is executed by a controller. The sorting device 100 includes a conveying mechanism 10, at least one sorting mechanism 20, a cargo monitoring component 30 and the controller 40.

[0045] The conveying mechanism 10 includes a main body 11, a carrying portion 12 and a driving unit 13, wherein the main body 11 defines a first end 111 and a second end 112, wherein the carrying portion 12 can be driven by the driving unit 13 to move from the first end 111 toward the second end 112, and is arranged on the main body 11 so that the goods carried on the carrying portion 12 can be conveyed by the carrying portion 12 from the first end 111 toward the second end 112.

[0046] Furthermore, the main body 11 forms at least one delivery port 1101 on the side of the carrying portion 12, wherein the sorting mechanism 20 is arranged on the main body 11 in such a manner that when the goods are conveyed to be aligned with the delivery port 1101, the goods can be driven to move away from the delivery port 1101.

[0047] In this way, the multifunctional goods sorting device 100 can sort the goods located at the first end 111 to the delivery port 1101 .

[0048] The driving unit 13 is controllably connected to the controller 40. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the carrying portion 12 is implemented as a conveyor belt, and the driving unit 13 is implemented as a motor.

[0049] The cargo monitoring component 30 is disposed on a moving path of the carrying portion 12 so as to be able to identify information tags on the cargo and the location of the cargo.

[0050] Specifically, the cargo monitoring component 30 includes at least one identifier 31 and at least one position sensor 32 , wherein the identifier 31 and the position sensor 32 are communicably connected to the controller 40 .

[0051] The identifier 31 is disposed above the carrying portion 12 and reads label information on the goods on the carrying portion 12 from top to bottom. The position sensor 32 is disposed on the main body 11 in a manner capable of detecting position information of goods carried on the carrying portion 12.

[0052] The controller 40 is configured to control the sorting mechanism 20 to transfer the goods from the carrying portion 12 to the delivery port 1101 and move the goods away from the delivery port according to the label information of the identifier 31 and the position information detected by the position sensor 32.

[0053] Preferably, the main body 11 forms at least one delivery port 1101 on both sides of the carrying portion 12 , and a sorting mechanism 20 is also provided at the corresponding delivery port 1101 .

[0054] The cargo monitoring component 30 is disposed on a moving path of the carrying portion 12 so as to be able to identify information tags on the cargo and the location of the cargo.

[0055] Specifically, the cargo monitoring component 30 includes at least one identifier 31 and at least one position sensor 32 , wherein the identifier 31 and the position sensor 32 are communicably connected to the controller 40 .

[0056] The identifier 31 is disposed above the carrying portion 12 and reads label information on the goods on the carrying portion 12 from top to bottom. The position sensor 32 is disposed on the main body 11 in a manner capable of detecting position information of goods carried on the carrying portion 12.

[0057] The controller 40 is configured to control the sorting mechanism 20 to transfer the goods from the carrying portion 12 to the delivery port 1101 and move the goods away from the delivery port according to the label information of the identifier 31 and the position information detected by the position sensor 32.

[0058] Preferably, the main body 11 forms at least one delivery port 1101 on both sides of the carrying portion 12 , and a sorting mechanism 20 is also provided at the corresponding delivery port 1101 .

[0059] Specifically, the carrying portion 12 of the conveying mechanism 10 includes a group of transmission rollers 121 , wherein the transmission rollers 121 define the second end portion 112 .

[0060] The sorting mechanism 20 includes a set of conveyor belts 21 and a driving member 22, wherein the conveyor belts 21 are configured to be driven by the driving member 22 to move in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrying portion 12, so that after the conveyor belts 21 are driven, the goods on the conveyor belts 21 can be conveyed in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrying portion 12, thereby moving the goods away from the carrying portion 12 and out of the delivery port 1101. The driving member 22 of the sorting mechanism 20 is controllably connected to the controller 40.

[0061] In addition, the height of the conveyor belt 21 is tangent to the top surface of the transmission roller 121, and at least two conveyor belts in a group of the conveyor belts 21 are arranged at intervals between the gaps formed by a group of the transmission rollers 121. At the same time, after being driven by the driving member 22, the conveyor belt 21 moves at a speed much faster than the speed at which the transmission roller 121 transmits the goods, so that when the goods need to be sorted to the corresponding delivery port 1101 by the sorting mechanism 20, the conveyor belt 21 can deliver the goods to the delivery port 1101 before the goods are moved away from the position corresponding to the corresponding delivery port 1101 by the carrying portion 12.

[0062] Preferably, the width of the conveyor belt 21 of each of the sorting mechanisms 20 is consistent with the width of the delivery port 1101 .

[0063] In this way, when the goods are driven by the driving roller 121 and move toward the second end 112, the identifier 31 can obtain the label information on the goods; accordingly, the position sensor 32 can detect the position of the goods after the label information is read by the identifier 31, and the controller 40 automatically controls the sorting mechanism 20 aligned with the goods carried on the carrying part 12 according to the goods information arranged in the background, and then automatically controls the driving component 22 to drive the conveyor belt 21 to move, thereby moving the goods away from the corresponding delivery port 1101.

[0064] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the identifier 31 may be implemented as a code scanning device or an image acquisition device such as a camera.

[0065] It is worth mentioning that the automatic cargo sorting control method is implemented by a readable storage medium integrated in the controller 40 and executed by the controller 40 .

[0066] Specifically, the automatic cargo sorting control method includes:

[0067] S110, receiving data on the total amount of goods to be sorted within a predetermined time and the types of goods required by the user.

[0068] It is worth mentioning that in the field of cargo sorting, the amount of cargo received within the scheduled time is known, especially the total number of different customers of the cargo received within the scheduled time is also known. For example, how many customers successfully placed orders in a day, and the amount of cargo generated after each customer placed an order.

[0069] It is worth mentioning that even though the customer has placed an order and the goods have been produced, the goods may be returned or put on hold. For example, after the goods are produced, other goods of a certain customer will arrive within the subsequent preset time, and at this time, the goods need to be put on hold.

[0070] S120, determining the number of sorting rounds by the sorting machine according to the number of the delivery ports of the sorting machine, the types of goods with specific requirements defined by the user, and the total amount of goods that need to be sorted within a predetermined time.

[0071] Specifically, the step S120 determines the number of sorting rounds of the sorting machine according to the number of the delivery ports of the sorting machine, the types of goods with specific requirements defined by the user, and the total amount of goods to be sorted within a predetermined time, including:

[0072] S121, compare the total amount of goods that need to be sorted within the scheduled time and the total amount of goods sorted in each integer round, where the total amount of goods sorted in each integer round is defined as: (number of shipping ports - types of specific required goods defined by the user) * number of customer attributes of each shipping port * number of shipping ports n , where n = integer number of rounds - 1.

[0073] It is worth mentioning that the integer round is the number of times the sorting machine needs to sort; the customer attribute quantity of each shipping port is the number of customers to which the goods shipped from each outlet belong.

[0074] For example, in Figure 6 In the example shown, the sorting machine has a total of 19 shipping ports, and shipping ports 1 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 11 / 19 are respectively customized by users as shipping ports for goods with specific requirements. Therefore, a total of 7 shipping ports are defined as shipping ports for goods with specific requirements customized by users.

[0075] The number of customer attributes corresponding to each shipping port can be defined as the number of slots in each cargo wall. In this way, each cargo wall can hold the cargo sorted from one of the shipping ports. For example, Fig. 7A and Figure 7B As shown, each of the cargo walls 800 has three cargo walls 801. S122, when the total amount of cargo to be sorted within a predetermined time is greater than the total amount of cargo sorted by an integer number of rounds n but less than the total amount of cargo sorted by an integer number of rounds n+1, the sorting machine sorts by an integer number of rounds n+1.

[0076] For example, in Figure 6 In the example shown, if the total amount of goods that need to be sorted within the predetermined time is greater than the total amount of goods sorted in one round but less than the total amount of goods sorted in two integer rounds, the sorting machine sorts in two rounds.

[0077] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, through the above-mentioned method, not only can the types of goods with specific user-defined requirements be quickly sorted out, but also a large number of goods can be automatically sorted.

[0078] refer to Fig. 7A and Figure 7B Furthermore, the automatic cargo sorting control method includes:

[0079] S130, automatically transporting the goods sorted out from each of the shipping ports to each grid opening of at least one cargo wall associated with the shipping port by an automatic transport device.

[0080] It is particularly worth mentioning that, in one embodiment, the automatic transport device is implemented as an AGV vehicle with cargo identification and transport functions.

[0081] In another embodiment, at least one conveyor belt 500 connected in series to each of the cargo outlets and a robot arm 700 capable of automatically grabbing cargo from the conveyor belt 500 to the corresponding cargo wall are provided.

[0082] Specifically, Fig. 7A and Figure 7B As shown, each of the cargo walls 800 has three cargo wall surfaces 801 , wherein each of the cargo wall surfaces 801 is provided with a plurality of grid openings 8001 .

[0083] Each of the cargo walls 800 is connected to the delivery port 1101 of the sorting device 800 through the conveyor belt 500. A robotic arm 700 with multiple degrees of freedom is arranged at a position corresponding to each of the cargo walls 800. Each of the sorting arms 700 is configured to automatically sort the cargo at the corresponding position to the grid opening 8001 corresponding to the cargo wall 800.

[0084] An identifier 400 is also disposed at a position corresponding to each of the cargo walls 800, wherein the identifier 400 can identify cargo located on the conveyor belt 500. Correspondingly, the identifier 400 is communicatively connected to the controller 40, wherein the robot arm 700 is controllably connected to the controller 40.

[0085] In this way, the controller 40 can control the robot arm 700 to automatically sort the goods corresponding to the cargo wall 800 and located on the conveyor belt 500 to the corresponding compartment 8001 of the cargo wall 800 according to the recognition result of the identifier 400 .

[0086] Those skilled in the art can understand that the information on each of the goods corresponds to the information of the compartments 8001 on each of the goods walls 800. Therefore, the method described in the present application can not only realize automatic sorting of goods, but also realize automatic wall placement of goods. In this way, the problem of low efficiency of sorting and wall placement caused by the movers searching for goods in the prior art is solved.

[0087] In one embodiment, the user-defined special requirement goods include but are not limited to: pending goods, direct shipment goods, returned goods, re-imported goods and abnormal goods.

[0090] The processing module 220 is configured to determine the number of sorting rounds through the sorting machine according to the number of the delivery ports of the sorting machine, the types of the specific requirements of the goods defined by the user, and the total amount of goods that need to be sorted within a predetermined time, wherein the number of sorting rounds through the sorting machine according to the number of the delivery ports of the sorting machine, the types of the specific requirements of the goods defined by the user, and the total amount of goods that need to be sorted within a predetermined time is determined, including:

[0091] Compare the total amount of goods that need to be sorted within the scheduled time and the total amount of goods sorted in each integer round, where the total amount of goods sorted in each integer round is defined as: (number of shipping ports - user-defined types of specific required goods) * number of customer attributes for each shipping port * number of shipping ports n , where n = integer round number - 1, where the integer round number is the number of times the sorting machine needs to sort; where the number of customer attributes of each shipping port is the number of customers to which the goods shipped from each outlet belong;

[0092] When the total amount of goods that need to be sorted within the predetermined time is greater than the total amount of goods that can be sorted in n integer rounds but less than the total amount of goods that can be sorted in n+1 integer rounds, the sorting machine sorts in n+1 integer rounds.

[0093] The processing module 30 is configured to automatically transport the goods sorted from each of the shipping ports to at least one cargo wall associated with the shipping port by controlling an automatic transport device.

[0094] According to another aspect of the present invention, Fig. 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the computer device of the present application, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the above-mentioned computer device may include: one or more processors; memory; and one or more computer programs.

[0098] According to the number of the delivery ports of the sorting machine, the types of the specific requirements of the goods defined by the user, and the total amount of goods that need to be sorted within a predetermined time, the number of rounds of sorting by the sorting machine is determined, wherein according to the number of the delivery ports of the sorting machine, the types of the specific requirements of the goods defined by the user, and the total amount of goods that need to be sorted within a predetermined time, the number of rounds of sorting by the sorting machine is determined, including:

[0099] Compare the total amount of goods that need to be sorted within the scheduled time and the total amount of goods sorted in each integer round, where the total amount of goods sorted in each integer round is defined as: (number of shipping ports - user-defined types of specific required goods) * number of customer attributes for each shipping port * number of shipping ports n , where n = integer round number - 1, where the integer round number is the number of times the sorting machine needs to sort; where the number of customer attributes of each shipping port is the number of customers to which the goods shipped from each outlet belong;

[0100] When the total amount of goods to be sorted within the scheduled time is greater than the total amount of goods sorted in n integer rounds but less than the total amount of goods sorted in n+1 integer rounds, the number of rounds sorted by the sorting machine is n+1 integer rounds;

[0101] The goods sorted out from each of the shipping ports are automatically transported to at least one cargo wall associated with the shipping port by an automatic transport device.
