[0053] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0054] The present application will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 3 A batching method of the present application is described.

[0055] The present application provides a batching method, which can be applied in intelligent terminals such as mobile phones, computers, tablets, etc., can be applied in servers, and can also be applied in batching devices. Below, the method is taken as an example to be applied in a batching device, but it should be noted that this is only an example and does not limit the protection scope of the present application. Some other descriptions in the embodiments of the present application are also examples and do not limit the protection scope of the present application, and the following will not be described one by one. The specific implementation of the method is as shown in Figure 1

[0056] In step 101, a material formula and a batching structure of a current batching device are obtained.

[0057] Specifically, the material formula and the batching structure can be obtained by manual input.

[0058] The material formula is the raw material of the material required at the current time and the weight of each raw material required, and the batching structure is that the current batching device includes several material bins and several weighing mechanisms, wherein one material bin corresponds to one weighing mechanism.

[0059] Specifically, the batching process is roughly as follows: all the material bins pre-store materials, the material bins release the materials to the weighing mechanisms through the discharging mechanisms, the weighing mechanisms feed back the weight of the obtained materials to the controller (which can be a remote server or a controller installed on the batching device), and then the controller controls the opening or closing of the discharging mechanisms.

[0060] The present application provides effective data basis for subsequent flexible batching by obtaining the material formula and the batching structure.

[0061] ​In step 102, a batching mode corresponding to the material formula and the batching structure and batching parameters are determined.

[0062] In one embodiment, a first number of types of raw materials in the material formula and a second number of weighing mechanisms in the batching device are determined; based on the determined first number of types of raw materials and the second number of weighing mechanisms, the batching mode is determined; and based on a pre-created mapping relationship between the batching mode and the batching parameters, the batching parameters corresponding to the batching mode are determined.

[0063] In one embodiment, based on the first number and the second number, in a case where the type of the material formula is a single type and the batching structure is a single weighing mechanism, the batching mode is determined to be a first batching sub-mode.

[0064] Specifically, it is determined whether the first number is less than a first preset number and whether the second number is less than a second preset number; in a case where the first number is determined to be less than the first preset number, the type of the material formula is determined to be a single type (i.e., the material formula includes only one type of raw material); and in a case where the second number is determined to be less than the second preset number, the batching structure is determined to be a single weighing mechanism (i.e., the batching device includes only one weighing mechanism). In a case where the type of the material formula is a single type and the batching structure is a single weighing mechanism, the batching mode is determined to be the first batching sub-mode, wherein the batching device includes the weighing mechanism.

[0065] The first preset number and the second preset number are both numerical values of 2.

[0066] Specifically, it is determined whether the first number is equal to the first preset number and whether the second number is equal to the second preset number; in a case where the first number is determined to be equal to the first preset number, the type of the material formula is determined to be a single type (i.e., the material formula includes only one type of raw material); and in a case where the second number is determined to be equal to the second preset number, the batching structure is determined to be a single weighing mechanism (i.e., the batching device includes only one weighing mechanism). In a case where the type of the material formula is a single type and the batching structure is a single weighing mechanism, the batching mode is determined to be the first batching sub-mode, wherein the batching device includes the weighing mechanism.

[0067] In this case, the first preset number and the second preset number are both numerical values of 1.

[0068] Specifically, how to determine the user's actual needs can be set by the user, and the present application does not make any limitation.

[0069] The first batching sub-mode is a single-weighing single-material batching mode.

[0070] In one specific embodiment, since there are certain differences in the batching parameters due to different batching modes, in a case where it is determined that the batching mode is the first batching sub-mode, the batching parameters include a first already-batched material weight, a first conversion threshold, a first material drop, and a first target material weight.

[0071] The first already-batched material weight is obtained by the first already-batched material weight mechanism, the first conversion threshold is a threshold value for conversion between the coarse batching stage and the fine batching stage, the first material drop is a batching drop generated during the closing process of the material dropping mechanism, and the first target material weight is the weight required by the raw material in the current material formula.

[0072] In order to achieve the accuracy of batching, the batching process is divided into a coarse batching stage and a fine batching stage. The two batching stages are divided based on a material formula and a batching structure. A first correspondence relationship between the material formula and the batching structure and a conversion threshold is obtained in advance, and the conversion threshold is obtained based on the first correspondence relationship. In addition, a second correspondence relationship between the material formula and the batching structure and a material drop is obtained in advance, and the material drop is obtained based on the second correspondence relationship.

[0073] In one specific embodiment, based on the first quantity and the second quantity, in a case where it is determined that the type of the material formula is multiple types and the batching structure is a single weighing mechanism, it is determined that the batching mode is the second batching sub-mode.

[0074] Specifically, it is determined whether the first quantity is greater than or equal to a first preset quantity and whether the second quantity is less than a second preset quantity. In a case where it is determined that the first quantity is greater than or equal to the first preset quantity, it is determined that the type of the material formula is multiple types (i.e., the material formula includes at least two raw materials). In a case where it is determined that the second quantity is less than the second preset quantity, it is determined that the batching structure is a single weighing mechanism (i.e., the batching device includes only one weighing mechanism). In a case where it is determined that the type of the material formula is multiple types and the batching structure is a single weighing mechanism, it is determined that the batching mode is the second batching sub-mode, wherein the batching device includes a weighing mechanism.

[0075] The first preset quantity and the second preset quantity are both the value 2.

[0076] Specifically, it is determined whether the first quantity is greater than a first preset quantity and whether the second quantity is equal to a second preset quantity. In a case where it is determined that the first quantity is greater than the first preset quantity, it is determined that the type of the material formula is multiple types (i.e., the material formula includes at least two raw materials). In a case where it is determined that the second quantity is equal to the second preset quantity, it is determined that the batching structure is a single weighing mechanism (i.e., the batching device includes only one weighing mechanism). In a case where it is determined that the type of the material formula is multiple types and the batching structure is a single weighing mechanism, it is determined that the batching mode is the second batching sub-mode, wherein the batching device includes a weighing mechanism.

[0077] In this case, the first preset number and the second preset number are both the value 1.

[0078] Specifically, how to determine the user's actual needs can be set by the user, and the present application does not make any limitation.

[0079] The second sub-ingredient mode is a single scale multi-ingredient ingredient mode.

[0080] In one embodiment, due to the difference between the different ingredient parameters, in the case of determining the ingredient mode as the second sub-ingredient mode, the ingredient parameters are determined to include the second ingredient weight, the target total weight of the ingredient, and the type of the ingredient formula. The target total weight of the ingredient is the sum of the second target weight of the ingredient of each type.

[0081] The present application can realize automatic ingredient of multiple ingredients by a single weighing mechanism, can meet the needs of users, and realize flexible ingredient.

[0082] In one embodiment, based on the first number and the second number, in the case of determining the type of the ingredient formula as at least one type and the ingredient structure as multiple weighing mechanisms, the ingredient mode is determined as the third sub-ingredient mode.

[0083] Specifically, it is determined whether the first number is greater than or equal to the first preset number, and whether the second number is greater than the second preset number. In the case of determining that the first number is equal to the first preset number, the type of the ingredient formula is determined as a single type (i.e. the ingredient formula only includes one raw material). In the case of determining that the first number is greater than the first preset number, the type of the ingredient formula is determined as multiple types (i.e. the ingredient formula includes multiple raw materials). In the case of determining that the second number is greater than the second preset number, the ingredient structure is determined as multiple weighing mechanisms (i.e. the ingredient device only includes at least two weighing mechanisms). In the case of determining that the type of the ingredient formula is a single type or multiple types, and the ingredient structure is multiple weighing mechanisms, the ingredient mode is determined as the third sub-ingredient mode, wherein the ingredient device includes a weighing mechanism.

[0084] In this case, the first preset number and the second preset number are both the value 1.

[0085] The third sub-ingredient mode is a multi-scale ingredient mode.

[0086] In one embodiment, due to the difference between the different ingredient parameters, in the case of determining the ingredient mode as the third sub-ingredient mode, the ingredient parameters are determined to include the type corresponding to each weighing mechanism.

[0087] The application can realize automatic batching of single material by multiple weighing mechanisms, and automatic batching of multiple materials by multiple weighing mechanisms, can meet the needs of users, and realizes flexible batching.

[0088] In step 103, automatic batching is performed based on the batching mode and the batching parameters.

[0089] In one embodiment, the specific implementation of automatic batching based on the first batching sub-mode and the batching parameters corresponding thereto is as follows:

[0090] In the case where the first weighed material weight is less than the first difference, the material bin is controlled to be discharged to the weighing mechanism based on the first discharge speed; in the case where the first weighed material weight is greater than or equal to the first difference and the first weighed material weight is less than the second difference, the material bin is controlled to be discharged to the weighing mechanism based on the second discharge speed; and in the case where the first weighed material weight is greater than or equal to the second difference, the material bin is controlled to be discharged to the weighing mechanism based on the third discharge speed.

[0091] The first difference is the difference between the first target material weight and the first conversion threshold, the second discharge speed is less than the first discharge speed, the second difference is the difference between the first target material weight and the first material drop, and the third discharge speed is less than the second discharge speed.

[0092] The first discharge speed and the second discharge speed are fixed values, and are determined based on the opening degree of the discharge mechanism, and the third discharge speed is a variable value, and is determined based on the closing process of the discharge mechanism.

[0093] Specifically, the size relationship between the first weighed material weight and the first difference is determined, in the case where the first weighed material weight is less than the first difference, the coarse weighing and batching stage is entered; in the case where the first weighed material weight is greater than or equal to the first difference, the size relationship between the first weighed material weight and the second difference is determined, in the case where the first weighed material weight is greater than or equal to the first difference and the first weighed material weight is less than the second difference, the fine weighing and batching stage is entered; and in the case where the first weighed material weight is greater than or equal to the first difference and the first weighed material weight is greater than or equal to the second difference, the discharge mechanism of the material bin is controlled to be closed.

[0094] The application can accurately determine the coarse weighing and batching stage and the fine weighing and batching stage, can improve the batching speed and reduce the batching time on the basis of realizing accurate batching.

[0095] In one specific embodiment, in order to ensure the accuracy of the batching, before the automatic batching based on the batching mode and the batching parameters, it is determined that after a first preset time period is reached, the step of controlling the material bin to discharge to the weighing mechanism based on a first discharge speed is performed, or the step of controlling the material bin to discharge to the weighing mechanism based on a second discharge speed is performed; after the material bin discharges to the weighing mechanism based on a third discharge speed, it is determined that after a second preset time period is reached, the final first batched material weight is obtained.

[0096] Specifically, before the automatic batching based on the batching mode and the batching parameters, the batching instruction is obtained, the automatic batching operation is performed, and it is determined that after a first preset time period is reached, the step of controlling the material bin to discharge to the weighing mechanism based on a first discharge speed is performed, or the step of controlling the material bin to discharge to the weighing mechanism based on a second discharge speed is performed.

[0097] Specifically, after the batching mode and the batching parameters are obtained based on the material formula and the batching structure, the batching instruction is generated, which carries the batching mode and the batching parameters, so as to perform the automatic batching operation based on the batching instruction.

[0098] Specifically, after the batching instruction is obtained, the batching judgment process is not immediately performed, that is, the step of judging the size relationship between the first batched material weight and the first difference is not immediately performed, but the timing is started from the time when the batching instruction is obtained, and the batching judgment process is started after a first preset sub-time period is reached. Since the weighing of the first batched material weight is performed at the beginning, the weight is small and unstable, which is easy to cause errors, therefore, the batching judgment process is started after the first preset sub-time period is reached, so as to ensure the accuracy of the data.

[0099] The first preset sub-time period is generally set to any value between 2 seconds and 3 seconds, which can be set by the user according to the actual needs, and the present application does not make any limitation.

[0100] Specifically, when the batching judgment process is performed after the first preset sub-time period is reached, the timing is started, and the step of judging the size relationship between the first batched material weight and the first difference (that is, the step of controlling the material bin to discharge to the weighing mechanism based on the first discharge speed) is performed after a second preset sub-time period is reached. Since the weighing of the first batched material weight is performed at the beginning, a certain degree of fluctuation occurs, which leads to unstable data and is easy to cause errors, therefore, the judgment operation of the batching judgment process is performed after the second preset sub-time period is reached, so as to ensure the accuracy of the data.

[0101] Specifically, when switching from the coarse weighing and batching stage to the fine weighing and batching stage, timing is started, and after the second preset sub-time length is reached, the step of judging the size relationship between the first weighed material weight and the second difference value is performed (i.e., the step of controlling the material bin to discharge material to the weighing mechanism based on the second discharge speed), because during the process of switching from the coarse weighing and batching stage to the fine weighing and batching stage, the material discharge mechanism continuously discharges material (i.e., part of the remaining material is discharged onto the weighing mechanism), which also causes the first weighed material weight detected in real time to dynamically change, which is not accurate, so after the second preset sub-time length is reached, the step of judging the size relationship between the first weighed material weight and the second difference value is performed to ensure the accuracy of the data.

[0102] Among them, the second preset sub-time length is generally set to any value between 2-3 seconds, which can be set by the user according to the actual needs, and the present application does not make any limitation.

[0103] Among them, the first preset time length is the sum of the first preset sub-time length and the second preset sub-time length.

[0104] Specifically, as the automatic batching operation is performed, the first weighed material weight is closer and closer to the first target material weight, and in the case where the first weighed material weight is greater than or equal to the second difference value, the material discharge mechanism of the material bin is controlled to be closed, because during the closing of the material discharge mechanism, the material in the material bin is still discharged onto the weighing mechanism, so there is a certain volatility of the data on the weighing mechanism when the material discharge mechanism is closed, therefore, timing is started when the material discharge mechanism is closed, and after the second preset time length is reached, the last obtained weight data is taken as the final first weighed material weight.

[0105] Specifically, after obtaining the final first weighed material weight, the first target material weight is compared, and based on the comparison result, it is judged whether to perform the step of stopping batching.

[0106] The present application ensures the accuracy of the data and improves the batching accuracy by designing the first preset time length and the second preset time length for material weighing calculation.

[0107] Next, the first batching sub-method batching process will be described in detail. Figure 2 The first batching sub-method batching process will be described in detail.

[0108] Step 201, obtain a batching instruction.

[0109] Step 202, based on the batching instruction, delay for a first preset sub-time length, and start the batching judgment process.

[0110] Step 203, after starting the batching judgment process, delay for a second preset sub-time length, and perform the batching judgment process.

[0111] In step 204, it is judged whether to enter the coarse weighing and batching stage. If yes, step 205 is executed, otherwise, step 206 is executed.

[0112] In step 205, the coarse weighing and batching stage corresponding coarse weighing operation is executed.

[0113] In step 206, it is judged whether the first batched material weight is greater than or equal to the first difference value, and whether the first batched material weight is less than the second difference value. If yes, step 207 is executed, otherwise, step 205 is executed.

[0114] In step 207, after delaying the second preset sub-time length, the fine weighing and batching stage is entered.

[0115] In step 208, it is judged whether the first batched material weight is greater than or equal to the second difference value. If yes, step 209 is executed, otherwise, step 207 is executed.

[0116] In step 209, after delaying the second preset time length, the final first batched material weight is obtained.

[0117] In one embodiment, the specific implementation of automatic batching based on the second batching sub-method and the batching parameters corresponding thereto is as follows:

[0118] The kind of the current material corresponding to the second batched material weight is determined; the total weight of the current material corresponding to the kind of the current material is obtained based on the second target material weight; in the case that the second batched material weight is less than the total weight of the current material, the material bin is controlled to continuously drop the current material; in the case that the second batched material weight is equal to the total weight of the current material, the material bin is controlled to drop the next material until the second batched material weight is equal to the total weight of the target material.

[0119] Specifically, in the case that the kind of the material formula is multiple, the first number of the kind and the second target material weight corresponding to each kind are obtained, and then the obtained kind, the first number of the kind and the second target material weight corresponding to each kind are configured.

[0120] Specifically, the present application can realize automatic batching of a single weighing mechanism and multiple materials. In the weighing process of the weighing mechanism, the weighing of the second batched material weight needs to be performed according to the pre-configured weighing order of each material and the second target material weight of each material.

[0121] Next, the process is specifically described through specific examples:

[0122] The following, the type of material formula is 2 for illustration, of course, here is only for example, and not for limiting the scope of protection, in the material formula, the material can be weighed by a weighing mechanism, the type of material formula can be any integer greater than or equal to 2. See Figure 3

[0123] Step 301, obtaining the batching instruction.

[0124] Specifically, after obtaining the batching instruction, the execution of the batching judgment process is not immediately started. See the operation corresponding to the first batching sub-method.

[0125] Step 302, based on the batching instruction, performing the coarse weighing operation corresponding to the coarse weighing stage of the first material in the material formula.

[0126] Specifically, before performing the coarse weighing operation, the batching judgment process is not immediately executed. See the operation corresponding to the first batching sub-method.

[0127] Step 303, performing the fine weighing operation corresponding to the fine weighing stage of the first material in the material formula.

[0128] Specifically, the specific implementation of switching from the coarse weighing stage to the fine weighing stage can be seen in the operation corresponding to the first batching sub-method.

[0129] Step 304, performing the replenishment operation of the first material.

[0130] Specifically, compare the current total material weight with the second already-batched material weight. If it is determined that the current total material weight is consistent with the second already-batched material weight, step 304 is not executed. If it is determined that the current total material weight is not consistent with the second already-batched material weight, based on the difference between the current total material weight and the second already-batched material weight, step 304 is executed.

[0131] Step 305, performing the coarse weighing operation corresponding to the coarse weighing stage of the second material in the material formula.

[0132] See step 302 for details.

[0133] Specifically, for the first material, if it is determined that the current total material weight is consistent with the second already-batched material weight, the timing starts. After reaching the third preset time length, the batching judgment process of the coarse weighing stage of the second material is executed.
