[0037] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0038] Embodiment 1:
[0039] like Figure 1 to Figure 7As shown, a volume measurement method for regular logistics packages based on TOF (Time of flight) includes: respectively collecting distance data between the outer surface of the regular logistics package moving with the conveyor belt and each TOF sensor arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt; filtering out characteristic data of the regular logistics package from the collected distance data; matching the volume model of the regular logistics package according to the characteristic data of the regular logistics package; and calculating the volume of the regular logistics package according to the volume model and characteristic data of the regular logistics package.
[0040] In this embodiment, a TOF sensor V2, a TOF sensor V3 and a TOF sensor V4 are arranged on one side of the conveyor belt, wherein the TOF sensor V3 and the TOF sensor V4 are respectively located on both sides of the TOF sensor V2 (the distance between the TOF sensor V3 and the TOF sensor V4 is within 3 meters). A TOF sensor V1 is arranged on the other side of the conveyor belt opposite to the TOF sensor V2. A TOF sensor V0 is arranged above the conveyor belt (within 1 meter). The TOF sensor described in this embodiment is a distance measuring sensor based on TOF technology. When the logistics package is on the conveyor belt, the sensor will be triggered to collect the surface feature data of the logistics package, and multiple sets of distance data between the surface of the logistics package and the sensor will be obtained according to the flight time of the light pulse; the algorithm control program analyzes and processes the distance data through the program to obtain useful data (i.e., the feature data of the regular logistics package), and then the corresponding measurement model (i.e., the volume model of the regular logistics package) is determined according to the useful data to calculate the length, width and height of the logistics package, and finally the volume of the logistics package is calculated.
[0041] (i) After the five TOF sensors are installed respectively, it is necessary to store the height data of TOF sensor V0 from the conveyor belt into the reference value H in advance, the distance between TOF sensor V1 and TOF sensor V2 into the reference value L, the distance between TOF sensor V3 and TOF sensor V4 into the reference value J, and the angles (less than 90°) between TOF sensor V3 and TOF sensor V4 and the conveyor belt into the reference value β and the reference value α respectively.
[0042] (ii) When starting to work, only TOF sensor V1 and TOF sensor V2 start to work. When TOF sensor V1 and TOF sensor V2 detect an object, all sensors start to work and the data acquisition module starts to collect data. At this time, the first data storage module stores the data measured by TOF sensor V0 into array L0, the data measured by TOF sensor V1 into array L1, the data measured by TOF sensor V2 into array L2, the data measured by TOF sensor V3 into array L3, and the data measured by TOF sensor V4 into array L4.
[0043] (iii) Useful data (characteristic data of regular logistics packages) are filtered out from the measured data through the first data processing module, and the working mode (the working mode is divided into dynamic measurement mode and static measurement mode) is determined according to the serial number corresponding to the useful data in the array, and the volume model of the regular logistics package is matched at the same time.
[0044] Useful data includes:
[0045] The maximum value L2_max, the minimum value L2_min, the first value L2_first, the last value L2_last, and the average value L2_ave of the distance data measured by the TOF sensor V2;
[0046] The maximum value L1_max, the minimum value L1_min, the intermediate value L1_mid1 corresponding to the maximum value L2_max, the intermediate value L1_mid2 corresponding to the minimum value L2_min, and the average value L1_ave of the distance data measured by the TOF sensor V1;
[0047] The middle value L2_mid corresponding to the minimum value L1_min in the distance data measured by the TOF sensor V2;
[0048] The average value H0 of the distance data measured by the TOF sensor V0.
[0049] The maximum and minimum values in the data measured by the TOF sensor V1 are compared and stored as L1_max and L1_min respectively. Meanwhile, the data value corresponding to the serial number of L1_min in the data measured by the TOF sensor V2 is stored as L2_mid. L1_max and L1_min are judged respectively: for the maximum value L1_max, whether the serial number of the data L1_max measured at this time exceeds half of the total number of data measured by the TOF sensor V1 is judged; for the minimum value L1_min, whether the serial number of the data L1_min measured at this time exceeds half of the total number of data measured by the TOF sensor V1 is judged. Five dynamic measurement models under the dynamic measurement mode are derived.
[0050] 1) The first dynamic measurement model: the serial number of the minimum value L1_min exceeds half of the total number of distance data measured by the TOF sensor V1, and the serial number of the maximum value L1_max is less than half of the total number of distance data measured by the TOF sensor V1.
[0051] Establish a measurement model such as Figure 2As shown, the deflection angle of the regular logistics package is set to θ, the length of the logistics package is B, the width is A, and the last data obtained by the TOF sensor V1 is stored as L1_last. At this time, we can get: K1 = L1_last-L1_min, K2 = L1_max-L1_min, K3 = L-L2_mid-L1_min; by Figure 2 The relationship between θ and K1, K2, and K3 can be obtained, namely sinθ=K2 / B, cosθ=A / K3, and cosθ=K1 / A. The values of A, B, and θ, i.e., the length and width of the logistics package and the deflection angle of the regular logistics package, can be calculated from these three equations.
[0052] 2) The second dynamic measurement model: the serial number of the minimum value L1_min exceeds half of the total number of distance data measured by the TOF sensor V1, and the serial number of the maximum value L1_max exceeds half of the total number of distance data measured by the TOF sensor V1.
[0053] Establish a measurement model such as Figure 3 As shown, the deflection angle of the regular logistics package is set to θ, the length of the logistics package is B, the width is A, and the data first obtained by the TOF sensor V1 is stored as L1_first. At this time, we can get: K1 = L1_first-L1_min, K2 = L1_max-L1_min, K3 = L-L2_mid-L1_min; by Figure 3 The relationship between θ and K1, K2, and K3 can be obtained, namely sinθ=K1 / B, cosθ=A / K3, and cosθ=K2 / A. The values of A, B, and θ, i.e. the length and width of the logistics package and the deflection angle of the regular logistics package, can be calculated from these three equations respectively.
[0054] 3) The third dynamic measurement model: the serial number of the minimum value L1_min is less than half of the total number of distance data measured by the TOF sensor V1, and the serial number of the maximum value L1_max is less than half of the total number of distance data measured by the TOF sensor V1.
[0055] Establish a measurement model such as Figure 4 As shown, the deflection angle of the regular logistics package is set to θ, the length of the logistics package is B, the width is A, and the last data obtained by the TOF sensor V1 is stored as L1_last. At this time, we can get: K1 = L1_last-L1_min, K2 = L1_max-L1_min, K3 = L-L2_mid-L1_min; by Figure 4 The relationship between θ and K1, K2, and K3 can be obtained, namely sinθ=K1 / B, cosθ=A / K3, and cosθ=K2 / A. The values of A, B, and θ, i.e. the length and width of the logistics package and the deflection angle of the regular logistics package, can be calculated from these three equations respectively.
[0056] 4) The fourth dynamic measurement model: the serial number of the minimum value L1_min is less than half of the total number of distance data measured by the TOF sensor V1, and the serial number of the maximum value L1_max exceeds half of the total number of distance data measured by the TOF sensor V1.
[0057] Establish a measurement model such as Figure 5 As shown, the deflection angle of the regular logistics package is set to θ, the length of the logistics package is B, the width is A, and the data obtained by L1 first is stored as L1_first. At this time, we can get: K1 = L1_first-L1_min, K2 = L1_max-L1_min, K3 = L-L2_mid-L1_min; by Figure 5 The relationship between θ and K1, K2, and K3 can be obtained, namely sinθ=K2 / B, cosθ=A / K3, and cosθ=K1 / A. The values of A, B, and θ, i.e., the length and width of the logistics package and the deflection angle of the regular logistics package, can be calculated from these three equations.
[0058] 5) The fifth dynamic measurement model: the serial number of the minimum value L1_min is exactly half of the total number of distance data measured by the TOF sensor V1.
[0059] Establish a measurement model such as Figure 6 As shown, the deflection angle of the regular logistics package is set to θ, the length of the logistics package is B, and the width is A. At this time, the model is approximately a square, and the value of the deflection angle θ of the regular logistics package is 45°, and A=B. At this time, K=L1_max-L1_min, sinθ=K / A, from which the values of A and B, that is, the length and width of the package, can be calculated.
[0060] (iv) Calculate the average value in the data set L0, set the logistics package height to C, and C = H-H0, and obtain the value of the package height.
[0061] (V) The deflection angle θ of the required regular logistics package is judged. If the value of θ is greater than the set value, in this embodiment, the set value is 5°, then the length and width of the package previously obtained by the dynamic model are valid data; if the value of θ is less than 5°, the data measured by the dynamic model is invalid, and the static measurement mode is turned on at the same time to obtain a static measurement model.
[0062] like Figure 7 As shown, the length of the package is set to B and the width is set to A, and the average value of the data measured by TOF sensor V1 and TOF sensor V2 is calculated and stored as L1_ave and L2_ave respectively. At this time, A = L-L1_ave-L2_ave, and Figure 7 It can be concluded that K1=L3×cosα, K2=L4×cosβ, B1=J-K1-K2, and then the average of all B1 values is calculated and stored as B1_ave. At this time, B=B1_ave.
[0063] (VI) Based on the length, width and height of the regular logistics package calculated above, i.e. the values of A, B and C, the volume of the regular logistics package can be calculated:
[0064] When the volume model of the regular logistics package is the first dynamic measurement model, the volume of the regular logistics package is:
[0065]
[0066] Among them, K1, K2, and K3 are intermediate variables, L represents the distance between TOF sensor V1 and TOF sensor V2, A represents the width of the regular logistics package, B represents the length of the regular logistics package, C represents the height of the regular logistics package, H represents the distance between TOF sensor V0 and the conveyor belt, V represents the volume of the regular logistics package, and θ represents the deflection angle of the regular logistics package;
[0067] When the volume model of the regular logistics package is the second dynamic measurement model, the volume of the regular logistics package is:
[0068]
[0069] When the volume model of the regular logistics package is the third dynamic measurement model, the volume of the regular logistics package is:
[0070]
[0071] When the volume model of the regular logistics package is the fourth dynamic measurement model, the volume of the regular logistics package is:
[0072]
[0073] When the volume model of the regular logistics package is the fifth dynamic measurement model, the volume of the regular logistics package is:
[0074]
[0075] When using the first to fifth dynamic measurement models, if the calculated deflection angle θ of the regular logistics package satisfies: θ≥5°, then the length, width and volume of the regular logistics package required above are valid data; if the deflection angle θ of the regular logistics package is <5°, then the length, width and volume of the logistics package calculated by the corresponding dynamic measurement model are invalid data, and the static measurement model is used instead as the volume model of the regular logistics package.
[0076] When the static measurement model is used as the volume model of the regular logistics package, the volume of the regular logistics package is:
[0077]
[0078] Among them, L1_ave represents the average value of the distance data measured by TOF sensor V1, L2_ave represents the average value of the distance data measured by TOF sensor V2, L3 represents the distance between TOF sensor V4 and the regular logistics package, L4 represents the distance between TOF sensor V3 and the regular logistics package, J represents the distance between TOF sensor V3 and TOF sensor V4, TOF sensor V3, TOF sensor V4 and TOF sensor V2 are located on the same side of the conveyor belt, and TOF sensor V3 and TOF sensor V4 are located on both sides of TOF sensor V2 respectively, B is the average value of all B1, α represents the angle between TOF sensor V4 and the conveyor belt, and β represents the angle between TOF sensor V3 and the conveyor belt.
[0079] The present invention collects some data of regular logistics packages by adopting TOF technology, obtains regular logistics package model parameters, and uses different measurement models according to different situations, so as to intelligently measure the volume of regular logistics packages. The volume of regular logistics packages can be accurately measured without considering the placement of the package, while reducing the amount of collected data and reducing the measurement cost. The regular logistics package volume measurement method of the present invention, by installing a TOF device, uses the principle of calculating the distance to the target object using the time of flight, and designs different calculation methods for calculating the model parameters of the regular logistics package according to the different situations of the placement of the logistics package on the conveyor belt, obtains the volume of the logistics package, and then combines with the weight of the package to intelligently calculate the cost required for the package transportation, so that the logistics transportation cost is more accurate and the cost is lower.
