[0001] This application relates to the field of warehouse logistics management technology, specifically to a smart management interconnection system based on WMS. Background Technology
[0002] In some e-commerce warehouses, goods are retrieved according to the order time on the e-commerce platform. Retrieval relies on personnel using forklifts, who search for items on the corresponding shelves based on the order information. When goods are arranged haphazardly and personnel are numerous, the entire shipping process can be slow. Furthermore, retrieving large items takes a long time, which can affect the retrieval time of subsequent orders, thus reducing overall shipping efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Labeling equipment installed on the first track conveying mechanism;
[0009] Command sending module and WMS system;
[0010] in:
[0011] The first line conveying mechanism, the first track conveying mechanism, and the handling mechanism all enter the operating state after receiving the instruction sent by the instruction sending module;
[0012] The WMS system is used to: control the instruction sending module to generate picking instructions in a normal sequence according to the order information, so as to keep the handling mechanism moving in a reciprocating linear manner under the action of the first track conveying mechanism, and grab the goods in the corresponding storage area in the path and place them on the first line conveying mechanism; the labeling device is used to label the goods during the picking process.
[0013] The WMS system is also used to: generate priority data based on the latest delivery time of goods in the order information; the instruction sending module generates priority instructions based on the priority data to ensure that the handling mechanism executes a grabbing process that takes precedence over the normal order, and grabs the goods in the corresponding storage area and places them on the first line conveyor.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes:
[0015] The second-line conveyor system passes through multiple storage areas in sequence, and its transport direction points towards the inside of the cargo storage warehouse;
[0016] A second rail conveying mechanism with its operating line parallel to the second rail conveying mechanism, and a palletizing mechanism installed on the second rail conveying mechanism, wherein goods are transported to the storage area by the palletizing mechanism on the second rail conveying mechanism;
[0017] in:
[0018] The first and second line conveying mechanisms are located on opposite sides of the storage area;
[0019] The second line conveying mechanism, the second track conveying mechanism, and the palletizing mechanism all enter the operating state after receiving the instruction sent by the instruction sending module;
[0020] The WMS system is also used to: send loading instructions to the instruction sending module according to the goods entry information, so as to keep the palletizing mechanism moving linearly under the action of the second track conveying mechanism, and grab the goods on the second track conveying mechanism in the path and place them in the corresponding storage area.
[0021] Furthermore, it also includes multiple propulsion mechanisms, which are respectively arranged in multiple storage areas. The goods are placed on one side of the storage area under the action of the palletizing mechanism, and moved to the side near the first line conveying mechanism under the action of the propulsion mechanism.
[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a coding mechanism fixedly installed at one location of the second line conveyor mechanism and a first scanning mechanism installed on the second track conveyor mechanism. The coding mechanism is used to spray product identification codes onto the goods on the second line conveyor mechanism under the action of the WMS system. The information contained in the product identification code includes the goods attributes and production time. The first scanning mechanism is used to scan the product identification code under the action of the WMS system. The palletizing mechanism selects the corresponding storage area for placing the goods according to the product information obtained by the first scanning mechanism.
[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a second scanning mechanism installed on the first track transport mechanism, which, under the operation of the WMS system, is used to scan the product identification code before the transport mechanism moves to determine the cargo information. The transport mechanism moves according to the processing result of the second scanning mechanism.
[0024] Furthermore, the WMS system is also used to implement:
[0025] The information on goods entered by the first scanning mechanism is stored. When the goods have a shelf life, the latest time for goods to leave the warehouse is calculated based on the storage time of the goods.
[0026] When the latest departure time of goods is later than the current time period, and the product identification code has not been scanned under the action of the second scanning mechanism, the goods expiration information is sent to the instruction sending module to control the handling mechanism to complete the grabbing of the corresponding goods and place them on the first line conveyor mechanism. During this process, the labeling device adds product expiration information to the goods.
[0027] Furthermore, the WMS system has multiple storage areas for loading goods data, each corresponding to a multiple reserve area, and is used to: load the goods information obtained by the first scanning mechanism into the corresponding storage area for archiving according to its attributes; remove the corresponding archived goods information after the goods product identification code is scanned by the second scanning mechanism; and send out out-of-stock information to the merchant transaction platform when there is no archived data in any of the storage areas.
[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a cargo damage detection mechanism and an interception mechanism installed on the first line conveying mechanism. The interception mechanism is provided with a cargo holding area. The WMS system is also used to realize that when defective goods are identified at the cargo damage detection mechanism, they are placed in the cargo holding area under the action of the interception mechanism, and a new pickup instruction is sent to the instruction sending module based on the current cargo attributes.
[0029] Furthermore, the first line conveyor mechanism comprises several units, arranged sequentially according to their maximum load capacity, and their conveying speeds are set sequentially according to the maximum load capacity, wherein:
[0030] The WMS system is used to enable the handling mechanism to place goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism based on the goods attributes obtained by the second scanning mechanism when the handling mechanism is working.
[0031] or:
[0032] The handling mechanism is equipped with a weight detection function and establishes an information feedback path with the instruction sending module. The handling mechanism's operation process includes picking up and lifting the goods and placing them. After the picking up and lifting is completed, an optimal placement path is generated according to the weight of the goods so that the goods can be placed on the corresponding first-line conveyor mechanism through the placement action.
[0033] Furthermore, the cargo storage warehouse has several retrieval ports, and the ends of the paths of the several first line conveying mechanisms each correspond to several retrieval ports.
[0034] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0035] 1. This application, through the cooperation of the first transport mechanism, enables the handling mechanism to move back and forth between multiple storage areas. When there are goods in the corresponding storage area, the goods can be picked up and transported out of the warehouse by the first line transport mechanism. Throughout the process, under the information scheduling of the WMS system, the handling mechanism does not need to selectively pick up goods based on the order time. Therefore, compared with the process of manual picking up goods in the prior art, a lot of time is saved, and the overall delivery efficiency is greatly improved.
[0036] 2. This application, through the cooperation of the second-line conveyor mechanism and the palletizing mechanism, enables the orderly preparation of goods inside the warehouse. Furthermore, through the setting of the positional relationship, the preparation process is less likely to interfere with the normal picking process, thereby improving the overall operational efficiency of the warehouse.
[0037] 3. This application, through the cooperation of the inkjet printing mechanism and the first scanning mechanism, enables accurate confirmation of goods information during the preparation of goods, ensuring that the goods can be accurately placed in the corresponding storage area, thereby improving the accuracy of the placement of goods in the warehouse and reducing the occurrence of subsequent shipping errors.

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0042] like Figures 1-2 As shown in one embodiment of this application, a WMS-based intelligent management interconnection system is proposed. Its operation relies on the cooperation of a goods storage warehouse. This goods storage warehouse is required to have multiple storage areas spatially distributed sequentially, such as... Figure 1 As shown, goods are stored in multiple storage areas according to their type. The system includes:
[0043] A first-line conveyor 1 sequentially passes through multiple storage areas, with its transport direction pointing towards the outside of the cargo storage warehouse. The first-line conveyor 1 can be equipment such as a conveyor belt or conveyor rollers, and its transport direction is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it is necessary to pass through multiple reserve areas in sequence;
[0044] The first track conveying mechanism 2 runs parallel to the first line conveying mechanism 1, and the handling mechanism 3 is set on the first track conveying mechanism 2. The first track conveying mechanism 2 can be set with a track in the warehouse and a trolley on the track. The trolley needs to be equipped with an installation platform. The handling mechanism 3 is set on the installation platform so that it can move with the help of the track to pass through multiple storage areas. The goods in the storage areas are transported to the first line conveying mechanism 1 by the handling mechanism 3. The handling mechanism 3 can be a robot, a gripping mechanism or a claw mechanism, etc., which can complete the gripping of the goods packaging, thereby replacing the pure manual or forklift equipment in the prior art.
[0045] The labeling device 4 installed on the first track conveying mechanism 2 can specifically be a label machine;
[0046] The instruction sending module and the WMS system are used to realize a data bridge between the goods and the merchant trading platform. It needs to be associated with the account of the merchant trading platform.
[0047] Based on the above, among these:
[0048] The first line conveying mechanism 1, the first track conveying mechanism 2, and the handling mechanism 3 all enter the running state after receiving the instruction sent by the instruction sending module. The instruction sending module can be a PLC control device or the like, connected to the above multiple devices, thereby controlling the corresponding actions.
[0049] The WMS system is used to: control the instruction sending module to generate a normal order of picking instructions according to the order information, so as to keep the handling mechanism 3 moving in a reciprocating linear manner under the action of the first track conveying mechanism 2, and grab the goods in the corresponding storage area in the path and place them on the first line conveying mechanism 1. That is, when the handling mechanism 3 moves back and forth, as long as there are goods to be picked up in the storage area in the path, it will grab the goods and place them on the first line conveying mechanism 1, thereby transporting them out of the warehouse. The labeling device 4 is used to label the goods during the process of picking up the goods.
[0050] The WMS system is also used to: generate priority data based on the latest delivery time of goods in the order information, and the instruction sending module generates priority instructions under the priority data, so as to keep the handling mechanism 3 performing a grabbing process that takes precedence over the normal sequence, and prioritize grabbing the goods in the corresponding storage area and placing them on the first line conveyor mechanism 1.
[0051] Based on the above characteristics, during operation, goods are sequentially placed onto the first-line conveyor mechanism 1 under the action of the handling mechanism 3, and then transported outside the warehouse. The labeling device 4 affixes labels to the goods packaging when the goods are picked up. The labels must at least indicate the attributes of the goods and order information, such as a pickup code, to ensure that the corresponding goods can be retrieved directly according to the pickup code when picking up express parcels. This ensures that the goods are picked up sequentially from the warehouse to the delivery process. Throughout the process, the picking task is carried out sequentially along with the entire movement of the handling mechanism 3, following a proximity principle. Only when goods are close to the next delivery time will the handling mechanism 3 prioritize the retrieval of the corresponding goods. Compared with the existing picking process, this can save time and effectively improve delivery efficiency. In addition, the whole process is carried out in an orderly manner and will not cause chaos in the warehouse.
[0052] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in some embodiments, the entire system may further include the following parts:
[0053] The second line conveyor 5 passes through multiple storage areas in sequence, and its transport direction is towards the inside of the goods storage warehouse. The configuration of the second line conveyor 5 can still be the same as that of the first line conveyor 1, using equipment such as conveyor belts or conveyor rollers.
[0054] The second rail conveying mechanism 6, which runs parallel to the second rail conveying mechanism 5, and the palletizing mechanism 7, which is set on the second rail conveying mechanism 6, can be configured in the same way as the handling mechanism 3 and the first rail conveying mechanism 2. Goods are transported to the storage area by the palletizing mechanism 7 on the second rail conveying mechanism 5.
[0055] Among these:
[0056] The first line conveyor mechanism 1 and the second line conveyor mechanism 5 are located on both sides of the storage area;
[0057] The second line conveying mechanism 5, the second track conveying mechanism 6, and the palletizing mechanism 7 all enter the operating state after receiving the instruction sent by the instruction sending module;
[0058] The WMS system is also used to: send loading instructions to the instruction sending module according to the goods entry information, so as to keep the palletizing mechanism 7 moving linearly under the action of the second track conveying mechanism 6, and grab the goods on the second line conveying mechanism 5 in the path and place them in the corresponding storage area;
[0059] Based on the above, when preparing goods for storage, the above-mentioned parts can be coordinated to place the goods in the corresponding storage areas in sequence. The specific attributes of the goods, such as type, need to be entered into the WMS system in advance and placed on the second-line conveyor mechanism 5 in the order of entry. The WMS system will determine whether the goods have arrived at the corresponding storage area based on the speed of the goods transportation, and then complete the palletizing and placement in the storage area through the palletizing mechanism 7. This design adds a function to replace manual placement of goods into the warehouse, thereby ensuring orderly internal stock preparation and improving stock preparation efficiency. In terms of the positional relationship, the stock preparation equipment and the picking equipment are set on opposite sides of the storage area, so that they do not interfere with each other when working, thereby further reducing the phenomenon of chaos inside the warehouse.
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the system may also include multiple propulsion mechanisms 8, which are respectively arranged in multiple storage areas. The goods are placed on one side of the storage area under the action of the palletizing mechanism 7, and moved to the side closer to the first line conveying mechanism 1 under the action of the propulsion mechanism 8. When the goods are placed on one side of the storage area, they are pushed to the other side by the propulsion mechanism 8, that is, pushed to the side closer to the first line conveying mechanism 1. Therefore, the goods placed in the storage area move sequentially from the loading time to the retrieval side, thereby ensuring that the goods are retrieved according to the loading time each time, so as to reduce the occurrence of old goods.
[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the system also includes a coding mechanism 9 fixedly installed at the second line conveyor mechanism 5 and a first scanning mechanism 10 installed on the second track conveyor mechanism 6. Therefore, goods will pass through the coding mechanism 9 when entering the warehouse. The coding mechanism 9 is used to spray product identification codes onto the goods on the second line conveyor mechanism 5 under the action of the WMS system. Specifically, it can be a QR code or a barcode. The information contained in the product identification code must include at least the attributes of the goods and the production time. The first scanning mechanism 10 is used to scan the product identification code under the action of the WMS system. The first scanning mechanism 10 also needs to be set together with the palletizing mechanism 7, and the two move synchronously. The palletizing mechanism 7 selects the corresponding storage area for placing goods according to the product information obtained after scanning by the first scanning mechanism. This design can reduce the occurrence of goods being placed in the wrong position, thereby ensuring that the goods are accurately placed in the corresponding storage area, reducing the occurrence of wrong goods being picked up later, thereby reducing unnecessary trouble, and further ensuring the stability and orderly operation of the entire system.
[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the entire system may further include a second scanning mechanism 11 mounted on the first track conveying mechanism 2, which is also mounted together with the handling mechanism 3 to maintain synchronous movement. Under the action of the WMS system, it is used to scan the product identification code before the handling mechanism 3 moves to determine the goods information. The handling mechanism 3 moves according to the processing result of the second scanning mechanism 11. Specifically, the WMS system scans the product identification code of the goods as it moves to the corresponding storage area based on the attributes of the traded goods in the order information and the second scanning mechanism 11, thereby determining whether the pickup location is correct. If correct, the handling mechanism 3 picks up the goods. This process realizes an attribute verification before pickup, that is, verification of the type of goods, thereby further reducing the occurrence of picking up the wrong goods, and indirectly improving the overall efficiency of delivery by reducing unnecessary trouble.
[0063] In some embodiments, the WMS system is also used to implement the following parts:
[0064] The cargo information entered by the first scanning device 10 is stored. When some cargo has a shelf life, the latest time for cargo to leave the warehouse is calculated based on the storage time of the cargo.
[0065] When the latest departure time of goods is later than the current time period, and the product identification code has not been scanned under the action of the second scanning mechanism 11, it can be understood that the goods have not left the warehouse. In this case, the expiration information of the goods is sent to the instruction sending module to control the handling mechanism 3 to grab the corresponding goods and place them on the first line conveyor mechanism 1, so as to transport the corresponding goods out of the warehouse. The labeling device 4 is used to add product expiration information to the goods in this process.
[0066] Based on this function, when some goods have a shelf life and there is still no order information when the expiration time arrives, the system will automatically remove the goods from the warehouse. The process is the same as the normal picking process. Since the goods are placed in the preparation area in chronological order, when looking for the corresponding expired goods, the one closest to the outside is the target goods. With the cooperation of the second scanning mechanism 11, the expired goods can be accurately identified. This design can reduce the space occupied by some goods with shelf life in the warehouse due to expiration or contamination of other goods. For example, for some daily necessities or food, this function can effectively prevent them from spoiling in the warehouse due to expiration.
[0067] In some embodiments, the WMS system can be configured to store cargo information in the following manner: the WMS system has multiple storage areas for loading cargo data, which can be cloud storage or configured with other methods such as memory cards. The multiple storage areas correspond to multiple reserve areas and are used to: the cargo information obtained by the first scanning device 10 is loaded into the corresponding storage area for archiving according to its attributes; when the cargo product identification code is scanned by the second scanning device 11, the corresponding archived cargo information is removed; that is, the stored data is cleared after the cargo is moved out of the reserve area after the transaction is completed; when there is no archived data in any storage area, that is, when there is no cargo in the reserve area, the WMS system sends out-of-stock information to the merchant transaction platform, thereby notifying the merchant of the out-of-stock situation in the warehouse through this function.
[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the entire system may further include a damage detection mechanism 12 and an interception mechanism installed on the first line conveyor mechanism 1. The damage detection mechanism 12 may be a scanner. The interception mechanism is provided with a cargo retention area. Specifically, the interception mechanism may be a pusher installed on the conveyor belt path that can push the cargo to the retention area. The WMS system is also used to realize that when defective goods are identified at the damage detection mechanism 12, they are placed in the cargo retention area under the action of the interception mechanism, and a new retrieval instruction is sent to the instruction sending module based on the current cargo attributes, so that goods with the same attributes can be retrieved from the storage area again. Based on this function, when goods taken out of the warehouse are damaged, for example, for some product types, when defects are detected, they automatically enter the retention area, and the system cooperates to retrieve another copy of the same goods to ensure the smooth progress of the order. This function realizes automatic interception of damaged goods, thereby preventing defective goods from flowing into the order, thereby further improving the guarantee of the quality of the goods.
[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first line conveying mechanism 1 can specifically be several in number, and is distributed sequentially according to the maximum load weight. Its conveying speed is set sequentially according to the maximum load weight, that is, heavier goods use a slower transport path, and vice versa, thus avoiding the phenomenon of collapse caused by the rapid transport of heavy goods, while ensuring the transport efficiency of lightweight goods. Based on this, it also has any of the following characteristics:
[0070] 1. The WMS system is used to realize that when the handling mechanism 3 is working, it places the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism according to the goods attributes obtained by the second scanning mechanism 11;
[0071] 2. The conveying mechanism 3 is equipped with a weight detection function and establishes an information feedback path with the instruction sending module. The operation process of the conveying mechanism 3 includes picking up and lifting the goods and placing the goods. When the picking up and lifting action is completed, that is, when the goods are picked up from the storage area, an optimal placement path is generated according to the weight of the goods, so that the goods are placed on the corresponding first line conveying mechanism 1 through the placement action.
[0072] When the first feature is used, the weight of the goods can be determined based on the attributes and other information of the goods, so that the appropriate first-line conveyor 1 can be selected to transport the goods out of the warehouse when picking up the goods. When the second feature is used, the goods can also be transported out of the warehouse by weighing them. This function not only improves the stability of the goods during transportation, but also effectively improves the efficiency of transportation.
[0073] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the cargo storage warehouse has several pickup ports, and the ends of the paths of several first line conveying mechanisms 1 correspond to several pickup ports respectively. Therefore, for goods of different sizes or weights, they can automatically go to the corresponding pickup ports when picking up goods by express delivery, thereby facilitating the loading process and improving practicality.
[0074] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
