[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the technical solution of the present invention is further specifically described below through embodiments and in combination with the accompanying drawings. In the specification, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar components. The following description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings is intended to explain the overall inventive concept of the present invention, and should not be understood as limiting the ship unloading system for a ship unloading station of the present invention.

[0028] In addition, in the detailed description below, for ease of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, it is apparent that one or more embodiments may be implemented without these specific details. In other cases, known structures and devices are embodied in a schematic manner to simplify the accompanying drawings.

[0029] According to an overall technical concept of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a ship unloading system for a ship unloading station is provided, which is used to unload materials in a ship cabin. The ship cabin is provided with shelves, and the materials are placed on the shelves after being classified. The system includes an information interaction module 10, a ship cabin sensor module 20, a loading and unloading control module 30 and an interaction interface 40;

[0030] Among them, the information interaction module 10 stores various types of cabin data, a cabin three-dimensional model drawn based on the cabin data, and shelf information, processes this information, synchronously displays the shelf information in the cabin three-dimensional model, and then sends it to the loading and unloading control module 30.

[0031] The interactive interface 40 is arranged in the cabin and is communicatively connected with the information interaction module 10, allowing the staff to adjust and intervene in the unloading process through the interactive interface 40, thereby improving the flexibility and response speed of the system and ensuring that the unloading operation meets actual needs; at the same time, the interactive interface 40 has a staff authority management function, allowing authority control over different modules of the unloading system, and authority control over different modules of the unloading system, thereby enhancing the security and compliance of the system.

[0032] The cabin sensor module 20 is arranged in the cabin, and is used to monitor the shelf information and scan the cabin (including obstacles that may block the grabbing robot, etc.), and upload the scanned information to the information interaction module 10. The information interaction module synchronously updates the shelf information and the cabin three-dimensional model according to the information uploaded by the cabin sensor module 20, so as to improve the accuracy and safety of unloading.

[0033] The cabin sensor module 20 includes a cargo sensor and a global motion sensor. The cargo sensor is used to collect current shelf data. The global motion sensor is used to perform a global scan of the cabin, collect cabin data and global shelf data, and further improve accuracy.

[0034] The loading and unloading control module 30 is electrically connected to the information interaction module 10, and includes a control platform and a grabbing manipulator. The control platform calculates the initial grabbing motion trajectory based on the three-dimensional model of the cabin and the shelf information, and grabs the material to the unloading station according to the motion trajectory.

[0035] Furthermore, the information interaction module 10 compares and corrects the current shelf data and the global shelf data to obtain real-time shelf data. If there is inconsistency between the current shelf data and the global shelf data, the inconsistent parts are re-scanned. If there is still inconsistency after rescanning, the staff is reminded to inspect the global sensor and the shelf sensor at the current shelf data.

[0036] Preferably, the information interaction module 10 merges the cabin data with the three-dimensional model of the cabin of the same model, displays the non-shelf information on the cabin in the three-dimensional model, and obtains a real-time three-dimensional model of the cabin to facilitate the control platform to perform obstacle avoidance calculations on the grasping trajectory.

[0037] During the unloading process, the control platform first calculates the next grabbing motion trajectory based on the real-time shelf data, and then adjusts the grabbing motion trajectory based on the real-time three-dimensional model of the cabin, realizing intelligent control of the unloading action and improving the degree of automation of the unloading process.

[0038] Furthermore, the information interaction module 10 can collect, store and analyze the data generated during the unloading process, archive it, and allow the staff to export it, providing the staff with real-time unloading status and performance analysis, which helps to optimize the subsequent operation process.

[0039] Preferably, the shelf is provided with an RFID tag and a barcode scanner, and the material information is stored through the RFID tag. The material has a QR code. After the material is placed on the shelf, the QR code is identified by the barcode scanner and the material information is bound to the QR code. After the barcode scanner identifies the QR code, the corresponding information is uploaded to the information exchange platform. After the material is unloaded, the relevant information of the material can be found in the information exchange platform by identifying the QR code on the material, thereby facilitating subsequent management.

[0040] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
