Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material conveying, in particular to a boxing material transfer method and system and a computing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of materials, it is necessary to box and transfer the materials, for example, the transfer of alkaline battery semi-finished products. In this process, the box needs to be destacked and stacked. Stacking refers to placing the box in a stacking container such as a pallet, and destacking refers to taking out the box placed in the stacking container and feeding it into the next process. In the early days, the traditional production method was to manually destack and stack the boxes. Since the workers may need to rest or adjust their posture, the speed and efficiency of manual destacking and stacking operations are relatively low, and manual stacking may also have errors and safety risks, resulting in irregular or unstable stacking. When handling heavy objects or high-stacked items, workers may accidentally or become tired and have accidents, so manual stacking has high labor intensity, low efficiency, and high safety risks.

[0003] With the development of industrial intelligence, in order to improve work efficiency and reduce work intensity, robots are used to replace manual work. Compared with manual destacking and stacking, robots can complete a large number of destacking and stacking operations more quickly and can maintain consistency and accuracy in continuous operation without the need for rest or adjustment. In addition, fully automated equipment can also improve safety. However, in the current robot destacking and stacking scheme, after the robot stacks, the feeding of the material box and the transfer of the finished material after stacking still need to be completed by manual operation of the forklift. Although the efficiency of stacking has been improved, the feeding and material transfer after completion still have the problem of low efficiency.

[0004] The current research direction of destacking and stacking robots is inclined to the accuracy of the stacking position and the stacking effect. For example, application number CN202121407007.7 provides a stacking and destacking all-in-one machine to solve the problem of high accuracy requirement for the stacking position and poor stacking effect of existing stacking and destacking all-in-one machines. Application number CN202310808615.6 provides an automatic destacking device for a high-efficiency right-left alternating stacking tray group, focusing on the improvement of the tray stacking method.

[0005] In the direction of palletizing feeding and palletizing transfer information system integration, application number CN201610143148.X provides a kind of full-automatic battery unstacking, conveying system that links between storage, it uses battery conveying line+robot automatic palletizing+real pallet shuttle vehicle handling+robot automatic unstacking scheme, realizes the high automation of logistics in the production and manufacturing process of lead-acid battery for vehicle (including the transfer of plate, automatic conveying, sorting, unstacking and so on of semi-finished product and finished product single battery), but in this scheme, unstacking and palletizing are designed separately, which still leads to low transfer efficiency.

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] In some of the processes described in the specification and accompanying drawings of this application, multiple operations are included in a specific order. However, it should be clearly understood that these operations may not be executed in the order they appear herein, or may be executed in parallel. The sequence numbers of the operations are merely used to distinguish different operations and do not themselves represent any execution order. Furthermore, these processes may include more or fewer operations, and these operations may be executed sequentially or in parallel.

[0042] The technical solutions of this application are applicable to application scenarios where semi-finished materials are packed and transported, such as the packing and transport of semi-finished alkaline batteries.

[0043] In current methods of transferring boxed materials, there are typically depalletizing and palletizing areas. The depalletizing area is for empty boxes, and the palletizing area is for boxes filled with materials. Robots can automatically depalletize empty boxes stacked on pallets in the depalletizing area and automatically palletize boxes onto pallets in the palletizing area. After depalletizing, new empty boxes need to be transported from the empty box storage area to the depalletizing area, and boxes filled with materials need to be transported to the next processing position. During this process, because empty pallets remain after depalletizing, they must be removed first, and then manually or by AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) carts must transport the full-loaded empty boxes along with the pallets to the depalletizing area before the next round of depalletizing can begin, leading to low efficiency. Similarly, after palletizing, boxes filled with materials need to be transported to the next processing position, and new empty pallets need to be placed in the palletizing area before the next round of palletizing can begin, which also wastes time and affects transportation efficiency.

[0044] Based on this, the technical scheme of the present application is proposed. In the embodiment of the present application, by increasing the setting of the unstacking turnover area and the stacking turnover area, the new empty container in the empty container storage area can be transported to the unstacking turnover area during the unstacking and stacking process of the robot. After the robot completes the stacking, the container filled with materials can be immediately transported to the stacking turnover area, thereby shortening the preparation time of unstacking and stacking and improving the material transfer efficiency. At the same time, the unstacking area and the stacking area, and the unstacking turnover area and the stacking turnover area are interchanged in logic after one unstacking and stacking is completed, that is, the unstacking area is used as the stacking area, the stacking area is used as the unstacking area, the unstacking turnover area is used as the stacking turnover area, and the stacking turnover area is used as the unstacking turnover area. Because there are empty pallets left in the unstacking area after unstacking and stacking are completed, the pallets can be used for stacking, and the stacking area has no pallets to transport new empty containers for unstacking, thereby eliminating the need to transfer empty pallets. After the unstacking area and the stacking area, and the unstacking turnover area and the stacking turnover area are interchanged in logic, the next round of unstacking and stacking can be performed, further improving the material transfer efficiency.

[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 The container loading material transfer method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 1, set a warehouse area, the warehouse area includes an unstacking area, a stacking area, an unstacking turnover area and a stacking turnover area, the unstacking area is placed with full-load empty container pallets, and the stacking area is placed with empty pallets;

[0048] In actual application, the unstacking area and the stacking area can be set according to the material assembly line area and the robot installation position, and the unstacking turnover area and the stacking turnover area are set at the same time, and reasonable operation space is reserved. The unstacking area and the stacking area can be interchanged according to the unstacking / stacking logic, and the unstacking turnover area and the stacking turnover area can also be interchanged according to the unstacking / stacking logic.

[0049] In the initial state, full-load empty container pallets need to be placed in the unstacking area first, that is, the unstacking area is placed with pallets, and the pallets are stacked with full-load empty containers, so as to facilitate the robot to unstack. And empty pallets need to be placed in the stacking area to facilitate the robot to stack. In actual application, the AGV car can be controlled to transport full-load empty container pallets from the empty container storage area to the unstacking area, and transport empty pallets to the stacking area, so as to further improve the material transfer efficiency.

[0050] Step 2, control the robot to unstack the empty containers in the unstacking area, and after the unstacked empty containers are filled with materials, control the robot to transport the container to the pallet in the stacking area for stacking;

[0051] In the embodiments of the present application, the robot is a disassembling / piling robot, and the disassembling / piling robot belongs to the prior art, which will not be described herein. After the setting of the storage location area and the placing of the full-load empty box tray in the disassembling area and the empty tray in the piling area, the robot can be controlled to disassemble and pile, specifically, the robot unloads the empty box on the tray in the disassembling area and places it on the conveying belt in the offline area, and when the empty box is full of materials in the offline area, the robot stacks the full-load material box on the tray in the piling area for piling. In this process, the robot counts the number of disassembled empty boxes in the disassembling area or the number of piled material boxes in the piling area in real time.

[0052] Step 3. When the disassembling area disassembles a preset number of empty boxes or the piling area piles a preset number of material boxes, the AGV vehicle is controlled to transport the full-load empty box tray in the empty box storage area to the disassembling turnover area.

[0053] When the disassembling area disassembles a preset number of empty boxes or the piling area piles a preset number of material boxes, it indicates that this round of disassembling and piling will be completed, and the full-load empty box tray in the empty box storage area can be transported to the disassembling turnover area in advance to facilitate the rapid transportation of the full-load empty box tray after the disassembling is completed, thereby further improving the material transfer efficiency. The preset number can be set according to the actual situation, and it is best to ensure that the full-load empty box tray in the empty box storage area is transported to the disassembling turnover area before the disassembling is completed.

[0054] Step 4. When the piling in the piling area is completed, the AGV vehicle is controlled to transport the full-load material box tray in the piling area to the piling turnover area, then transport the full-load empty box tray in the disassembling turnover area to the piling area, and transport the full-load material box tray in the piling turnover area to the next process position.

[0055] After the piling in the piling area is completed, the disassembling in the disassembling area is also completed, at this time, the disassembling area is left with empty trays, and the tray in the piling area is full of material boxes, then the AGV vehicle is controlled to transport the full-load material box tray in the piling area to the piling turnover area, transport the full-load empty box tray in the disassembling turnover area to the piling area, and transport the full-load material box tray in the piling turnover area to the next process position. For example, for semi-finished alkaline batteries, the next process position is the high-temperature aging area.

[0056] Step 5. The disassembling area is used as the piling area, the piling area is used as the disassembling area, the disassembling turnover area is used as the piling turnover area, and the piling turnover area is used as the disassembling turnover area, and step 2 is entered.

[0057] After the above step 4, the empty pallets are left in the unstacking area and the pallets with full containers are placed in the stacking area. At this time, the unstacking area is used as the stacking area, the stacking area is used as the unstacking area, the unstacking turnover area is used as the stacking turnover area, and the stacking turnover area is used as the unstacking turnover area. Since there are just enough empty pallets left in the unstacking area to perform stacking after unstacking and stacking are completed, and there are no pallets in the stacking area to transport new empty containers for unstacking, the empty pallets do not need to be transported. After interchanging the logic of the unstacking area and the stacking area, and the unstacking turnover area and the stacking turnover area, the next round of unstacking and stacking can be performed by re-entering step 2, thereby improving the efficiency of material transportation.

[0058] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to a semi-finished alkaline battery as an example.

[0059] In the semi-finished alkaline battery production line area, A area, B area, turnover A area, and turnover B area are provided.

[0060] Referring to Figure 2 In the initial state, A area is set as the unstacking area, B area is set as the stacking area, turnover A area is set as the unstacking turnover area, and turnover B area is set as the stacking turnover area. At this time, A area is provided with pallets with full empty containers, and B area is provided with empty pallets.

[0061] Referring to Figure 3 The automatic control robot starts the unstacking and stacking actions, places the empty containers on the pallets in A area onto the conveying belt in the offline area, and places the containers filled with batteries onto the pallets in B area. The empty containers on the pallets in A area gradually decrease to empty pallets, and the containers on the pallets in B area gradually increase to full pallets.

[0062] Referring to Figure 4 When the empty containers unstacked by the robot or the containers stacked by the robot reach a set threshold value, the automatic control AGV vehicle transports the pallets with full empty containers in the empty container storage area to turnover A area.

[0063] Referring to Figure 5 The unstacking and stacking by the robot are completed. At this time, A area is left with empty pallets, the pallets in B area are full of containers, and turnover A area is provided with pallets full of empty containers.

[0064] Referring to Figure 6 The automatic control AGV vehicle transports the pallets with full containers in B area to turnover B area, and then transports the pallets full of empty containers in turnover A area to B area. The pallets with full containers in turnover B area can then be transported to the high-temperature aging area for the next process.

[0065] Referring to Figure 7 The first round of work is completed. At this time, B area is provided with pallets full of empty containers, and A area is provided with empty pallets. Then, A area is set as the stacking area, B area is set as the unstacking area, turnover A area is set as the stacking turnover area, and turnover B area is set as the unstacking turnover area, and the next work cycle is entered.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the method can further include the following steps:

[0067] An RFID reader is arranged in each storage area, and a corresponding RFID tag is arranged on each pallet, the RFID tag containing pallet code information; after the pallet is transported to the target storage area, the RFID reader of the target storage area identifies the RFID tag of the pallet to obtain the pallet code information, binds the obtained pallet code information with the target storage area, and unbinds the corresponding pallet code information from the current storage area after the pallet is transported out of the current storage area.

[0068] Specifically, the RFID reader of the storage area identifies the RFID tag of the pallet to obtain the pallet code information, which can realize the tracing of the material transfer information. For example, in the initial state, the unstacking area is bound with the pallets of full or empty containers in the unstacking area, and the stacking area is bound with the empty pallets in the stacking area; when the robot unstacking and stacking are completed and the pallet full of materials is transported to the stacking turnover area, the stacking area is unbound with the pallet, and the pallet is bound with the stacking turnover area. Thus, the real-time tracking of the material information is realized. Meanwhile, the AGV car can also identify the RFID tag of the pallet to obtain the pallet code information, and when the AGV car obtains a task, it can determine whether the pallet is wrong according to the pallet code information, so as to avoid the transfer of the wrong pallet. Further, the accuracy of the material transfer is ensured.

[0069] In summary, the case packing material transfer method provided by the embodiment of the present application shortens the preparation time of unstacking and stacking by transporting the new empty containers in the empty container storage area to the unstacking turnover area and transporting the full material containers to the stacking turnover area immediately after the robot stacking is completed, thereby improving the material transfer efficiency. Meanwhile, the embodiment of the present application exchanges the logic of the unstacking area and the stacking area, the unstacking turnover area and the stacking turnover area after the unstacking and stacking are completed once, i.e., the unstacking area is used as the stacking area, the stacking area is used as the unstacking area, the unstacking turnover area is used as the stacking turnover area, and the stacking turnover area is used as the unstacking turnover area. Since the unstacking area is left with empty pallets for stacking after the unstacking and stacking are completed, and the stacking area is not left with pallets for transporting new empty containers for unstacking, the empty pallets do not need to be transferred, and the logic of the unstacking area and the stacking area, the unstacking turnover area and the stacking turnover area is exchanged, so that the next round of unstacking and stacking can be performed, thereby further improving the material transfer efficiency. Moreover, the real-time tracking of the material information is realized based on the RFID technology, and the accuracy of the material transfer is ensured.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 8Based on the above technical solution, the embodiment of the present application further provides a containerized material transfer system, the system comprises:

[0071] A production execution system is used to set a warehouse location area, the warehouse location area comprises a destacking area, a stacking area, a destacking turnover area and a stacking turnover area, the destacking area is placed with a tray full of empty containers, and the stacking area is placed with empty trays; and according to the work progress of the AGV scheduling system, the destacking area is used as the stacking area, the stacking area is used as the destacking area, the destacking turnover area is used as the stacking turnover area, and the stacking turnover area is used as the destacking turnover area;

[0072] A robot control system is used to control the robot to destack the empty containers in the destacking area, and after the empty containers are full of materials, the robot is controlled to transport the material containers to the trays in the stacking area for stacking;

[0073] An AGV scheduling system is used to control the AGV to transport the tray full of empty containers in the empty container storage area to the destacking turnover area when the destacking area destacks a preset number of empty containers or the stacking area stacks a preset number of material containers; when the stacking area completes stacking, the AGV is controlled to transport the tray full of material containers in the stacking area to the stacking turnover area, then the tray full of empty containers in the destacking turnover area is transported to the stacking area, and the tray full of material containers in the stacking turnover area is transported to the next process position.

[0074] In actual application, the production execution system (Manufacturing Execution System, MES) first acquires the set warehouse location area, then generates corresponding transport tasks according to the material transfer requirements, and sends them to the robot control system and the AGV scheduling system respectively. The transport task contains the position of the destacking area, the position of the stacking area, the position of the destacking turnover area, the position of the stacking turnover area, the empty container storage area and the position of the next process.

[0075] After the robot control system (Robots Control System, RCS) receives the transport task, the robot is controlled to destack the destacking area and stack the stacking area, and the real-time progress is sent to the production execution system and the AGV scheduling system.

[0076] After the AGV scheduling system receives the transport task, according to the real-time progress sent by the robot control system, when the destacking area destacks a preset number of empty containers or the stacking area stacks a preset number of material containers, the AGV is controlled to transport the tray full of empty containers in the empty container storage area to the destacking turnover area; when the stacking area completes stacking, the AGV is controlled to transport the tray full of material containers in the stacking area to the stacking turnover area, then the tray full of empty containers in the destacking turnover area is transported to the stacking area, and the tray full of material containers in the stacking turnover area is transported to the next process position, and the real-time progress is fed back to the production execution system.

[0077] The production execution system determines whether the current unstacking and stacking is ended according to the real-time progress, if yes, the unstacking area is regarded as the stacking area, the stacking area is regarded as the unstacking area, the unstacking turnover area is regarded as the stacking turnover area, and the stacking turnover area is regarded as the unstacking turnover area, a transfer task is regenerated, and is sent to the robot control system and the AGV scheduling system respectively, and a next cycle of operation is entered.

[0078] In the above process, the RFID reader of the storage area can identify the RFID tag on the pallet transported to the position, bind the obtained pallet code information with the corresponding storage area, and synchronize the binding information to the production execution system, so as to realize the traceability of the material information. Meanwhile, in the embodiment of the present application, the AGV scheduling system can generate a corresponding scheduling task according to the pallet code information in the process of scheduling the AGV, and the AGV can identify the RFID tag on the pallet and determine whether the corresponding pallet is the target pallet, so as to avoid transferring the wrong pallet.
