[0024] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this application will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain this application and not to limit it. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples.

[0025] In this document, relational terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0026] This embodiment provides a method for processing cardboard boxes, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the steps for processing cardboard boxes are as follows:

[0027] S101: Obtain basic information about the cartons being transported on the transmission line, including the carton dimensions.

[0028] The transmission line may include a transmission track, which is movable and reusable, on which cardboard boxes can be placed and moved to a specific location by the transmission track.

[0029] This application embodiment can scan the carton using a detection device installed on the transmission line, thereby determining the basic information of the carton, wherein the basic information of the carton may include the carton size.

[0030] The dimensions of a cardboard box can specifically include its length, width, and height. The length, width, and height of the cardboard box are determined by its orientation on the conveyor line. The side of the cardboard box closest to the conveyor belt is taken as the bottom surface of the cardboard box. The two sides of the bottom surface of the cardboard box are taken as the length or width of the cardboard box, respectively. The distance from the highest point of the cardboard box to the bottom surface of the cardboard box is taken as the height.

[0031] The detection equipment measures the length, width, and height of the cartons on the conveyor belt, determining the carton dimensions. It then sends these dimensions and corresponding information to the robot system of the carton processing system in real time, enabling efficient matching of a storage location for the carton.

[0032] S102: Obtain first storage information of the storage area, the first storage information including available storage locations and storage location size of the available storage locations.

[0033] After receiving the cardboard box information sent by the detection device, the robot system can obtain the first storage information of the storage area at the current moment by receiving the electrical signals of the recording devices such as cameras.

[0034] The storage area may include at least one shelf, which is used to provide storage locations to increase storage space.

[0035] The first storage information may include at least one available storage location on a shelf and the storage location size of the available storage location. The first storage information may also include at least one unavailable storage location on a shelf and basic information about the cardboard box corresponding to the unavailable storage location.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, taking a shelf as an example, assuming the shelf has multiple cardboard boxes as shown, the available width of the sixth, seventh, and eighth shelves is 0, indicating that no usable storage space can be provided on the sixth, seventh, and eighth shelves. For the second shelf, which has no cardboard boxes, the available width is 2000, meaning the total width of usable storage space on the second shelf is 2000. For the third shelf, which has one cardboard box, usable storage space can be provided on both its left and right sides. Therefore, the available width of the third shelf is 600 + 1000, meaning the available storage space on the left side of the box is 600, and the available storage space on the right side is 1000. Alternatively, this shelf can also provide usable storage space based on available width and available length, but for simplicity, this will not be elaborated upon here.

[0037] After receiving the basic information of the cardboard box, the robot system confirms the available storage locations in the current storage space in real time, preparing for determining the target storage location of the cardboard box.

[0038] S103: Determine the target storage location based on the basic information of the carton and the first storage information of the storage area.

[0039] The robot system can provide a target storage location for a cardboard box based on its basic information. Specifically, after receiving the basic information of the cardboard box, the robot system determines that there is a cardboard box that needs to be stored, obtains the available storage locations in the storage area at the current moment, and at the same time obtains the size of the available storage locations. Based on the size of the cardboard box and the size of the available storage locations, the robot system matches a target storage location for the cardboard box to ensure the rational use of storage resources.

[0040] In addition, after the robot system provides a target storage location for the cardboard box based on the box's basic information, it transmits the target storage location information to the automated guided transport system via electrical signals.

[0041] Based on the carton size, target storage locations are rationally allocated within the available storage space to reduce manual allocation and management, thereby improving the autonomy and efficiency of carton processing.

[0042] S104: The automated guided vehicle stores the cardboard box in the target storage location.

[0043] Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) can include, but are not limited to, AGVs with suction cups for transporting cartons. These AGVs can transport cartons to achieve unmanned carton transfer, thereby reducing reliance on manual transport and increasing transfer speed.

[0044] After receiving information about the target storage location, the automated guided transport system (AGT), which is electrically connected to at least one AGV, generates a storage task based on the target storage location and sends the task to the AGV. The AGV retrieves the cardboard box from the transport line according to the task, transports the box from the transport line, and stores it at the target storage location. The transport task may include the transport route, the actions to be performed, and the target address, so as to control the AGV to perform the corresponding storage and retrieval actions according to the transport route and store the cardboard box at the target storage location.

[0045] Using automated guided vehicles to transport cardboard boxes can increase the speed of cardboard box storage and further improve the efficiency of cardboard box storage.

[0046] This application provides a cardboard box storage method, system, electronic device, and storage medium. The method includes: first, acquiring basic information of the cardboard boxes being transmitted on the transmission line, determining that there are cardboard boxes that need to be stored, and determining the size of the cardboard boxes to be stored; second, acquiring first storage information of the storage area, determining the available storage locations in the storage area; and finally, determining the target storage location for the cardboard box based on the basic information and the first storage information. In this way, the cardboard box storage can be completed autonomously, improving the autonomy of the cardboard box processing system in storing cardboard boxes and increasing the efficiency of cardboard box storage.

[0047] In some embodiments, before obtaining basic information about the cartons being transported on the transmission line, the carton processing method may further include:

[0048] Inspect the extent of damage to the cardboard box;

[0049] If the damage level of the cardboard box is less than the preset damage level, then the basic information of the cardboard box is obtained;

[0050] If the damage level of the carton is greater than or equal to the preset damage level, the carton will be transferred to the abnormal handling area.

[0051] The damage level can indicate the damage condition of the cardboard box. The preset damage level can be set by the user according to different business scenarios, and the preset damage level can be expressed as a percentage, such as 7%, 15%, and 18%. In addition, the preset damage level can indicate the most severe damage condition that the cardboard box can suffer during transportation.

[0052] When the detection equipment on the transmission line scans the entire carton, it determines the degree of damage to the carton and compares the damage to the preset degree of damage to obtain two comparison results.

[0053] One scenario is that if the damage level of the carton is less than the preset damage level, it means that the damage level of the carton has not reached the most severe damage condition, and the next step can be carried out. That is, the detection equipment can scan the carton again to obtain the basic information of the carton.

[0054] Another scenario involves the following: if the damage level of the cardboard box is greater than or equal to the preset damage level, the cardboard box can be transferred to the abnormal processing area. In the abnormal processing area, the cardboard box can be manually replaced and placed on the conveyor line. The detection equipment on the conveyor line will re-detect the damage level of the cardboard box. After detecting the damage level of the cardboard box, if the damage level of the cardboard box is less than the preset damage level, the basic information of the cardboard box can be further detected.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, the user-set preset damage level can be 21%. If the detection device on the conveyor line scans the overall damage level of the carton and finds it to be 23%, since 23% is greater than 21%, meaning the damage level of the carton is greater than the preset damage level, the carton can be transferred to the abnormal processing area for manual replacement. The carton is then placed back on the conveyor line, and the detection device on the conveyor line scans the carton again to obtain the damage level of the replaced carton. This is compared with the preset damage level. If the damage level is less than the preset damage level, the next step can be performed: the detection device can scan the carton again to obtain its basic information. If the damage level is greater than or equal to the preset damage level, the carton is transferred to the abnormal processing area, where it can be manually replaced and placed back on the conveyor line. The detection device on the conveyor line then re-detects the damage level of the carton.

[0056] For cardboard boxes on the conveyor line, damage inspection can prevent the contents of the cardboard boxes from being lost or damaged during transportation, thus ensuring the sturdiness of the cardboard boxes.

[0057] In some embodiments, the basic information further includes first item information of the cardboard box, and the method for determining the target storage location based on the basic information of the cardboard box and the first storage information of the storage area may include:

[0058] Based on the carton size in the basic information of the carton and the size of the available storage location in the first storage information of the storage area, the first storage location is obtained;

[0059] Obtain the second item information of the cardboard boxes within the preset range;

[0060] Determine the correlation between the first item information in the basic information of the cardboard box and the second item information of the cardboard box within the preset range;

[0061] Based on the relevance, the target storage location in the first storage location is determined. The robot system receives basic information about the cardboard box pushed by the detection device on the transmission line. This basic information includes not only the box dimensions but may also include information about the first item inside the box.

[0062] The initial information about the items inside a cardboard box can be obtained through thermal detection by a testing device to confirm the approximate category of the items. Alternatively, the testing device can scan the label information on the cardboard box to indirectly obtain the item information. This label information may include, but is not limited to, barcodes on the label.

[0063] After receiving the basic information of the cardboard box, the robot system compares the size of the cardboard box with the size of the available storage locations in the first storage information of the storage area. It deletes the available storage locations in the first storage information whose available storage locations are smaller than the size of the cardboard box, thus obtaining the first storage location. The number of the first storage locations is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The first storage location may include the target storage location, which indicates the actual storage location of the cardboard box.

[0064] As for the deleted available storage locations, it means that the available storage location is too small to fit the cardboard box.

[0065] The processing methods used differ depending on the number of first storage locations.

[0066] When the number of first storage locations is 0, the storage of cartons is stopped, and the robot system waits for the first storage information to be updated, which includes the first storage location.

[0067] When the number of first storage locations is 1, the first storage location is determined as the target storage location, and no further operation is required.

[0068] When the number of first storage locations is greater than 1, one of the first storage locations is taken as the first location. Using the first location as the center, the second item information of the cardboard boxes within the preset range is obtained, and the correlation between the second item information and the first item information is calculated. Similarly, the second item information of the cardboard boxes within the preset range is obtained, and their correlation is obtained, with each location in the first storage location as the center. The correlation refers to the percentage of mutual connection between two things.

[0069] By comparing the size of the cardboard box with the size of the available storage location, and then comparing the relevance of the information about the items inside the box with the information about the items stored around the pre-storage location, the target storage location can be determined more accurately.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first storage location is obtained based on the carton size in the basic information of the carton and the available storage location size in the first storage information of the storage area. The carton processing method may include:

[0071] When the size of the available storage location is larger than the size of the carton, a second storage location is obtained from the available storage locations;

[0072] Calculate the difference between the size of the carton and the size of the second storage location to obtain the first difference;

[0073] When the first difference is less than a preset difference, a second difference is determined;

[0074] Based on the second difference, the first storage location corresponding to the second difference is determined. The robot system can calculate the difference between the size of the carton and the available storage location size of the second storage location; that is, it can calculate the difference between the length, width, and height of the carton and the length, width, and height of the second storage location, and use this difference as the first difference.

[0075] The robot system can also calculate the maximum capacity of the second storage location. At the same time, it calculates the volume of the carton based on the dimensions of the carton received by the robot system. Then, it further calculates the difference between the carton volume and the maximum capacity, and uses this difference as the first difference.

[0076] The preset difference is a difference set by the user in advance, which is used to filter the first storage location.

[0077] The second difference is selected when the result of the first difference calculation is less than the preset difference. The available storage location corresponding to the second difference is obtained as the first storage location. Therefore, the available storage locations in the first storage location can be the same or different.

[0078] By calculating the difference between the carton size and the available storage location size, and comparing this difference with a preset difference, the first storage location can be determined more accurately.

[0079] In some embodiments, after controlling the automated guided vehicle to store the carton to the target storage location, the carton handling method may further include:

[0080] Receive first indication information from the automated guided vehicle; the first indication information indicates that the target storage location has been changed to an unavailable storage location;

[0081] The first storage information in the storage area is updated according to the first instruction information, wherein the available storage locations of the updated first storage information in the storage area do not include the target storage location. After the automated guided vehicle completes the storage task, the automated guided vehicle sends a first instruction information to the automated guided transport system. The first instruction information can be used to indicate that the target storage location is changed to an unavailable storage location, or it can indicate that the automated guided transport has completed the storage task.

[0082] The automated guided transport system responds to the first instruction information by sending the first instruction information to the robot system. The robot system responds to the first instruction information by updating the first storage information of the storage area, changing the target storage location to an unavailable storage location, and can also add the basic information of the carton to the target storage location accordingly.

[0083] In some embodiments, the carton processing method may further include:

[0084] Obtain the user's shipping request; the shipping request includes basic information about the third storage location and the target carton;

[0085] Control the automated guided vehicle according to the shipment request;

[0086] The target carton is retrieved from the third storage location;

[0087] Receive second instruction information from the automated guided vehicle; the second instruction information indicates that the third storage location has been changed to a usable storage location;

[0088] The second storage information is updated according to the second instruction information, wherein the available storage location of the updated second storage information in the storage area includes the third storage location. After receiving the user's shipment request, the automated guided vehicle (AGV) generates a shipment task based on the user's shipment request and issues the shipment task to the AGV control vehicle. After receiving the shipment task, assuming the carton is currently in the third storage location, the AGV control vehicle moves to the front of the third storage location, retrieves the target carton, and places the target carton in the location specified in the shipment task. Then, the AGV control vehicle sends the second instruction information to the AGV, which can indicate that the third storage location has been changed to an available storage location, or it can indicate that the AGV control vehicle has completed the shipment task.

[0089] The automated guided transport system responds to the second instruction information by sending it to the robot system. The robot system, in turn, responds to the second instruction information by updating the available storage location of the second storage information, that is, changing the status of the third storage location to an available storage status.

[0090] See Figure 3 The specific steps of the carton processing system can be determined. These steps can be summarized as follows: the cartons on the conveyor line are scanned by the detection equipment to ensure that the carton processing system receives the cartons that need to be stored, and further to determine whether the damage level of the carton is normal. The damage level of the carton can be used to judge whether the appearance of the carton is normal. If the damage level of the carton is determined to be abnormal, that is, the appearance of the carton is abnormal, the carton needs to be transferred to the abnormal processing area for manual replacement. If the damage level of the carton is determined to be normal, that is, the appearance of the carton is normal.

[0091] After confirming that the appearance of the cardboard box is normal, the detection equipment on the conveyor line determines the length, width, and height of the cardboard box based on its placement orientation. Based on these dimensions, a target storage location is assigned, and an instruction is sent to the automated guided vehicle (AGV). The AAV dispatches an AAV to retrieve the cardboard box from the conveyor line and store it at the target location. Then, the robot system updates the remaining dimensions on the shelf based on the specific dimensions of the cardboard box. When a cardboard box needs to be retrieved, the system sends the required cardboard box information to the AAV. Similarly, the AAV dispatches an AAV to retrieve the cardboard box from the shelf and place it on the conveyor line for transport, or to place it in the appropriate location. The robot system updates the initial storage information in the storage area to facilitate the storage of subsequent cardboard boxes.
