[0081] During the production process of battery cells, it is often necessary to move the battery cells to the target area, such as moving the battery cells from the standardized testing area to the shelf, or moving the battery cells on the shelf to the testing area.

[0082] Currently, battery cells are manually transported and placed in target areas, but there is a problem of low efficiency in manual transport.

[0083] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery cell transfer method, which obtains a transfer task including the location information of the target placement point corresponding to the target battery cell, determines the location code corresponding to the target placement point based on the location information, and sends the location code to the target unmanned transport vehicle. The location code is used to instruct the target unmanned transport vehicle to transfer the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point according to the location code, thereby realizing the transfer of the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point through the target unmanned transport vehicle, thereby improving the battery cell transportation efficiency and reducing the labor cost of battery cell transportation.

[0084] The battery cell transport method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown, Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The figure is an application environment diagram of a battery cell transfer method in an embodiment, and the application environment includes a test system 101, a scheduling system 102, and an unmanned transport vehicle 103. The test system 101 can be deployed in a server, and the scheduling system 102 can be deployed in another server. The test system 101 can send transfer task information to the scheduling system 102. After receiving the transfer task information, the scheduling system 102 determines whether to create a battery cell transfer task based on the transfer task information. After the battery cell transfer task is successfully created, the scheduling 102 can send the transfer task to the unmanned transport vehicle, and the unmanned transport vehicle performs the transfer task, thereby transferring the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point, thereby improving the battery cell transportation efficiency and reducing the labor cost of battery cell transportation. Among them, the server can be implemented as an independent server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0085] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for transporting a battery cell provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The scheduling system shown includes the following steps:

[0086] S201. Acquire a transfer task for a target battery cell, where the transfer task includes location information of a target placement point corresponding to the target battery cell, wherein the target placement point includes a transfer placement start point and a transfer placement end point.

[0087] For example, the starting point of transfer placement can be the sampling shelf, and the end point of transfer placement can be the test channel of the test incubator; or, the starting point of transfer placement can be the test channel, and the end point of transfer placement can be the return sample shelf; or, the starting point of transfer placement can be test channel A, and the end point of transfer placement can be test channel B.

[0088] The shelves and test incubators can be multi-layer and multi-column objects, and the location information can indicate the specific location of the target placement point. For example, with respect to the location information of the transfer placement starting point, if the transfer placement starting point is the test channel of the test incubator, the location information can indicate the channel number of the test incubator. For example, the location information is area code-unit number-channel number, where the area code indicates the area where the test incubator is located. A test incubator can include multiple unit numbers, and a unit number can correspond to a column of test channels or multiple columns of test channels. All test channels corresponding to a unit number can be numbered, and a test channel corresponds to a channel number, and a test channel can be used to place a battery cell. For example, a unit includes 10 test channels, and the 10 test channels can be numbered in sequence, and the numbering can be from 1 to 10.

[0089] Regarding the location information of the transfer placement end point, if the transfer placement end point is the return sample placement area of ​​the return sample shelf, the location information can indicate the area number of the return sample placement area. For example, the location information is the shelf number-unit number-placement area number of the return sample shelf, where one shelf number corresponds to one return sample shelf, one return sample shelf can include multiple unit numbers, one unit number can correspond to a column of return sample placement areas, all return sample placement areas corresponding to a unit number can be numbered, one return sample placement area corresponds to a placement area number, and one return sample placement area can be used to place one battery cell.

[0090] S202 . Determine a position code corresponding to the target placement point according to the position information, where the position code includes column information and layer information of the target placement point in the battery cell receiving device.

[0091] The dispatch system may store a correspondence between location information and location codes, and the dispatch system may determine the location code corresponding to the target placement point based on the location information and the stored correspondence. Alternatively, the correspondence between location information and location codes may be stored in another device, and the dispatch system may obtain the correspondence between location information and location codes from the other device and determine the location code corresponding to the target placement point based on the location information and the stored correspondence.

[0092] For example, the location information of the target placement point is 3-1-6, and the location code corresponding to the location information is 20000122502013. The location code is a code generated based on the column information of the column in which the target placement point is located in the battery cell storage device and the layer information of the layer in which it is located. The 13 in "2013" in the code represents the column information, that is, the column identifier of the target placement point in the battery cell storage device. The 2 in "2013" in the code represents the layer information, that is, the layer number of the target placement point in the battery cell storage device. The "2013" in the code indicates that the target placement point is in the 13th column of the 2nd layer in the battery cell storage device. The battery cell storage device can be a shelf or a test incubator.

[0093] The dispatching system can determine the location code corresponding to the target placement point based on the location information, that is, determine the location code corresponding to the transfer placement starting point and the location code corresponding to the transfer placement end point.

[0094] S203: Send the location code to the target unmanned transport vehicle. The location code is used to instruct the target unmanned transport vehicle to transport the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point according to the location code.

[0095] The target unmanned transport vehicle may be any idle unmanned transport vehicle.

[0096] The scheduling system sends the location code corresponding to the transfer placement starting point and the location code corresponding to the transfer placement end point to the target unmanned transport vehicle, so that the target unmanned transport vehicle transfers the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point according to the location code corresponding to the transfer placement starting point and the location code corresponding to the transfer placement end point.

[0097] The battery cell transfer method provided by the embodiment of the present application obtains a transfer task including the location information of the target placement point corresponding to the target battery cell, and determines the column information and layer information of the target placement point in the battery cell storage device based on the location information, and sends the column information and layer information of the target placement point in the battery cell storage device to the target unmanned transport vehicle, so that the target unmanned transport vehicle transfers the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point. Since there is no need for manual handling of the battery cells, the efficiency of battery cell handling is improved and the labor cost of battery cell handling is reduced.

[0098] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a method for creating a transfer task provided by an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment relates to a possible implementation method for obtaining a transfer task for a target battery cell. Based on the above embodiment, the above S201 may include the following steps:

[0099] S301: Receive task information sent by the test system.

[0100] The task information may include the task status, the location information corresponding to the transfer placement starting point, and the location information corresponding to the transfer placement end point. The scheduling system can determine whether a transfer task needs to be created based on the task status, the location information corresponding to the transfer placement starting point, and the location information corresponding to the transfer placement end point. For example, if the task status is "to be created," and the location information corresponding to the transfer placement starting point has a battery cell set, while the location information corresponding to the transfer placement end point is "idle," then the task information is determined to meet the transfer task creation conditions, and the transfer task is created.

[0101] Alternatively, if the task status is a task to be created, and the location information corresponding to the transfer placement starting point is set with battery cells, a transfer task is created. In this case, after the transfer task is created, if the transfer placement end point has battery cells placed on it when the transfer task is created, but after the transfer task is successfully created, the battery cells on the transfer placement end point are transferred so that the transfer placement end point is not occupied, then after the creation of the task is successful, the unmanned transport vehicle can also transfer the battery cells to the transfer placement end point.

[0102] S302. When the task information satisfies the transfer task creation conditions, create a transfer task.

[0103] For example, if the task information does not meet the transfer task creation conditions, even if the transfer task is successfully created, it may result in the unmanned transport vehicle arriving at the transfer placement starting point without a battery cell at the transfer placement starting point. In this case, the unmanned transport vehicle will be unable to transfer the battery cell. In order to reduce the scenario where the unmanned transport vehicle is unable to transfer the battery cell, in the embodiment of the present application, a transfer task is created when the task information meets the transfer task creation conditions, thereby increasing the probability that the unmanned transport vehicle can successfully transfer the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point.

[0104] The method provided in the embodiments of the present application receives task information sent by the test system and creates a transfer task if the task information satisfies the transfer task creation conditions. Because the task information corresponding to the transfer task satisfies the transfer task creation conditions, the probability of successfully transferring the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point can be increased.

[0105] In one embodiment, the task information includes a task status, and the method may further include the following steps:

[0106] When the task status is to be created, the target battery cell exists at the transfer placement starting point, and the transfer placement end point is not occupied, it is determined that the task information meets the transfer task creation conditions.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present application, for example, the status of the task to be created can be represented by "ongoing" or by 1. The status of the task to be created in an embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned representation forms.

[0108] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines that the task information meets the transfer task creation conditions when the task status is the state of a task to be created, the target battery cell exists at the transfer placement starting point, and the transfer placement end point is not occupied, thereby achieving specific restrictions on the transfer task creation conditions and improving the requirements for successful transfer task creation. After the transfer task is successfully created, the probability of successfully transferring the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point is further improved.

[0109] In one embodiment, the target battery cell includes multiple battery cells to be transported, and the task information includes task information corresponding to the multiple battery cells to be transported. The above-mentioned S203 of sending the position code to the target unmanned transport vehicle can be implemented as follows:

[0110] If the transfer task is successfully created and the parallel sample identifiers in the task information corresponding to at least two cells to be transferred are the same, the location code corresponding to the target transfer task is sent to the target unmanned transport vehicle;

[0111] Among them, the target transfer task includes at least two transfer tasks corresponding to task information.

[0112] In an embodiment of the present application, a parallel sample identifier can be used to indicate that the test conditions are the same, that is, if the test conditions of multiple battery cells to be transferred are the same, then the parallel sample identifiers in the corresponding task information of the multiple battery cells to be transferred are the same. For example, if the test conditions of two battery cells to be transferred are the same, then the parallel sample identifiers in the corresponding task information of the two battery cells to be transferred are the same. In this case, in order to reduce the influence of the ambient temperature when testing the battery cells, it is necessary to put the two battery cells to be transferred into the test incubator at the same time for testing. In order to put the two battery cells to be transferred into the test incubator at the same time for testing, in an embodiment of the present application, a target unmanned transport vehicle is used to put the two battery cells to be transferred into the test incubator at the same time. Therefore, by sending the position code corresponding to the target transfer task to the target unmanned transport vehicle, the target unmanned transport vehicle can put the two battery cells to be transferred into the test incubator at the same time for testing after clamping the two battery cells to be transferred.

[0113] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can reduce the influence of ambient temperature on battery cells with the same test conditions during the test by sending the position code corresponding to the target transfer task to the target unmanned transport vehicle when the transfer task is successfully created and the parallel sample identifiers in the task information corresponding to at least two battery cells to be transferred are the same, for example, if two battery cells have the same test conditions, if one of the battery cells is first placed in a test incubator for testing, and during the test of the battery cell, the other battery cell is placed in the test incubator for testing, it will affect the ambient temperature of the battery cell placed first, thereby affecting the test results of the battery cell.

[0114] In one embodiment, the method may further include the following steps:

[0115] When the task status is to be canceled, the transfer task indicated by the task information exists in the task list, and the transfer task indicated by the task information has not been executed, the transfer task indicated by the task information is canceled.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, the status of the task to be canceled can be represented by "fail" or 0. The representation of the status of the task to be created in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned representation.

[0117] When the task status is a pending cancellation task, it means that the test system expects to cancel the transfer task. When the task status included in the task information received by the scheduling system is a pending cancellation task, the scheduling system can first query whether there is a transfer task indicated by the task information in the task list maintained by itself. If there is a transfer task indicated by the task information, it can then determine whether the transfer task indicated by the task information has not been executed. If the transfer task indicated by the task information has not been executed, the transfer task indicated by the task information will be canceled.

[0118] The transfer task indicated by the task information can be determined by the task identifier included in the task information.

[0119] The method provided in an embodiment of the present application cancels the transfer task indicated by the task information when the task status is a task to be canceled, the transfer task indicated by the task information exists in the task list, and the transfer task indicated by the task information has not been executed, thereby achieving the cancellation of the transfer task that has not yet been executed.

[0120] In one embodiment, the method may further include the following steps:

[0121] When the task status is to be canceled, the transfer task indicated by the task information exists in the task list, and the transfer task indicated by the task information has been executed, a transfer instruction is sent to the unmanned transport vehicle; the transfer instruction is used to instruct the unmanned transport vehicle to transfer the battery cells corresponding to the executed transfer task to an empty storage location in the transfer area.

[0122] The task information may include a transfer area identifier. When the task status is a pending cancellation status, the transfer task indicated by the task information exists in the task list, or the transfer task indicated by the task information has been executed, the scheduling system may determine an idle storage location from the idle storage locations corresponding to the transfer area identifier, and send the identification information of the determined idle storage location to the unmanned transport vehicle. The unmanned transport vehicle will transfer the battery cells corresponding to the executed transfer task to the idle storage location. The transfer instruction includes the transfer area identifier and the identification information of the idle storage location. The unmanned transport vehicle may be the target unmanned transport vehicle in the above embodiment, or another idle unmanned transport vehicle.

[0123] When the task status is to be canceled, the transfer task indicated by the task information exists in the task list, and the transfer task indicated by the task information has been executed, it means that the transfer task that the test system expects to cancel has been executed and the transfer task cannot be canceled. In this case, the battery cells corresponding to the executed transfer task will be transferred to the vacant storage location in the transfer area.

[0124] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application is to transfer the battery cells corresponding to the executed transfer tasks to the vacant storage locations in the transfer area when the task status is the task to be canceled, the transfer task indicated by the task information exists in the task list, and the transfer task indicated by the task information has been executed. For example, if you want to change the final placement location of the battery cells, you can send the task status as the task to be canceled, and the scheduling system can dispatch the unmanned transport vehicle to transfer the battery cells at the transfer placement destination to the transfer area, and then transfer the battery cells in the transfer area to the new transfer placement destination, thereby adjusting the transfer placement destination of the battery cells.

[0125] It should be noted that the unmanned transport vehicle may fail during the transfer process. In order to reduce the probability that the unmanned transport vehicle fails to normally transfer the battery cell due to the failure, in the embodiment of the application, if the unmanned transport vehicle fails, the unmanned transport vehicle can send a failure notification to the test system. In this case, the test system can include a specific cancellation identifier in the task information issued to the scheduling system, for example, the cancellation identifier is exceptionCancel. If the scheduling system receives the task information including the cancellation identifier, the scheduling system can send a cancellation instruction to the target unmanned transport vehicle. The target unmanned transport vehicle stops the transfer based on the cancellation instruction, and the relevant personnel arrive at the position of the target unmanned transport vehicle to take out the battery cell.

[0126] In one of the embodiments, the task information can further include a task issuing time.

[0127] In one of the embodiments, the task information further includes a task type. The method can further include the following steps:

[0128] According to the task type, the priority of the transfer task is determined.

[0129] Correspondingly, the S203 of sending the position code to the target unmanned transport vehicle can be realized by the following way:

[0130] According to the priority, the position code is sent to the target unmanned transport vehicle.

[0131] In the embodiment of the application, the task type includes, for example, sample uploading, sample downloading, and test channel changing. Sample uploading refers to transferring the battery cell on the sample shelf to the test channel. Sample downloading refers to transferring the battery cell in the test channel to the sample shelf. Test channel changing refers to transferring the battery cell in one test channel to another test channel. For example, if test channel A cannot continue the test due to some reason, the battery cell in test channel A needs to be transferred to test channel B to continue the test.

[0132] The priority of the transfer task is different according to the task type. For example, the priority of sample uploading is higher than that of sample downloading, and the priority of sample downloading is higher than that of test channel changing. If the scheduling system creates three transfer tasks, and the task types of the three transfer tasks are sample uploading, sample downloading, and test channel changing, respectively, the position code of the transfer task corresponding to sample uploading is preferentially sent to the target unmanned transport vehicle.

[0133] In the embodiment of the application, by sending the position code to the target unmanned transport vehicle according to the priority corresponding to the task type in the task information, the scheduling of the transfer task according to the priority is realized.

[0134] In one of the embodiments, a method for determining a target unmanned transport vehicle is also provided, as shown in Figure 4 ​ Figure 4 is a flowchart of a method for determining a target unmanned transport vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method comprises the following steps:

[0135] S401, determine the distance between each candidate unmanned transport vehicle and the transfer placement starting point.

[0136] The candidate unmanned transport vehicle refers to an unmanned transport vehicle in an idle state. The dispatching system can determine the distance between each candidate unmanned transport vehicle and the transfer placement starting point.

[0137] S402, determine the target unmanned transport vehicle from the candidate unmanned transport vehicles according to the distance between each candidate unmanned transport vehicle and the transfer placement starting point.

[0138] The dispatching system determines the target unmanned transport vehicle from the candidate unmanned transport vehicles according to the distance between each candidate unmanned transport vehicle and the transfer placement starting point, for example, the candidate unmanned transport vehicle corresponding to the smallest distance is taken as the target unmanned transport vehicle. Or at least one distance less than a preset distance is determined, and the candidate unmanned transport vehicle corresponding to any one of the at least one distance is taken as the target unmanned transport vehicle.

[0139] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can select the candidate unmanned transport vehicle close to the transfer placement starting point as the target unmanned transport vehicle by determining the distance between each candidate unmanned transport vehicle and the transfer placement starting point and determining the target unmanned transport vehicle from the candidate unmanned transport vehicles according to the distance between each candidate unmanned transport vehicle and the transfer placement starting point, thereby reducing the time required for the target unmanned transport vehicle to reach the transfer placement starting point.

[0140] The above embodiments of the dispatching system will be described in detail below. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The above embodiments of the dispatching system will be described in detail below. Figure 5 as shown in Figure 5 is a flowchart of a method for creating a transfer task and a method for creating a cancellation task provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0141] S501, the test system issues transfer task information.

[0142] S502, the dispatching system receives the transfer task information.

[0143] S503, the dispatching system determines the task state in the transfer task information.

[0144] If the task state is “Fail”, it means that the transfer task corresponding to the transfer task information needs to be cancelled, and S504 is executed without execution.

[0145] If the task status is "Ongoing", S507 is performed.

[0146] S504, the scheduling system determines whether the task list has a task corresponding to the task identifier in the transfer task information according to the task identifier.

[0147] If yes, the task creation is successful, and S505 is performed; if no, the task creation fails, and S506 is performed.

[0148] S505, the scheduling system returns a success status to the test system.

[0149] S506, the scheduling system returns a failure status to the test system.

[0150] S507, the scheduling system determines whether the transfer placement starting point has a target battery and whether the transfer placement ending point is unoccupied.

[0151] If the transfer placement starting point has a target battery and the transfer placement ending point is unoccupied, the transfer task creation is successful, and S508 is performed; if the transfer placement starting point does not have a target battery or the transfer placement ending point is occupied, the transfer task creation fails, and S509 is performed.

[0152] S508, the scheduling system returns a success status to the test system.

[0153] S509, the scheduling system returns a failure status to the test system.

[0154] Referring to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a flowchart of a battery transfer process after a transfer task and a cancellation task are successfully created.

[0155] S601, the task creation is successful.

[0156] The task creation in the embodiments of the present application includes a transfer task creation and a cancellation task creation. As described above in S504, the scheduling system determines whether the task list has a task corresponding to the task identifier in the transfer task information. If yes, the cancellation task creation is successful.

[0157] As described above in S507, the scheduling system determines whether the transfer placement starting point has a target battery and whether the transfer placement ending point is unoccupied. If the transfer placement starting point has a target battery and the transfer placement ending point is unoccupied, the transfer task creation is successful.

[0158] If the task status is "Fail", S602 is performed; if the task status is "Ongoing", S605 is performed.

[0160] If not, S603 is executed; if yes, S604 is executed.

[0161] S603, cancel the transfer task indicated by the task information.

[0162] S604, transfer the battery cell corresponding to the executed transfer task to the idle storage site in the transfer area, and send the storage site information of the idle storage site to the test system.

[0163] S605, whether the parallel sample identifier is included in the task information.

[0164] If the parallel sample identifier is included in the task information, S606 is executed; if not, S608 is executed.

[0165] S606, combine the position codes corresponding to the transfer tasks of the task information with the same parallel sample identifier to obtain the combined position code.

[0166] After the target unmanned transport vehicle receives the combined position code, the battery cells corresponding to the transfer tasks of the task information with the same parallel sample identifier are sequentially taken out according to the combined position code, and the battery cells are simultaneously placed into the test oven.

[0167] S607, the unmanned transport vehicle closest to the transfer placement starting point is taken as the target unmanned transport vehicle.

[0168] S608, send the position code to the target unmanned transport vehicle.

[0169] It should be noted that if the position codes corresponding to the transfer tasks of the task information with the same parallel sample identifier are combined, the position code sent in this step is the combined position code.

[0170] The above describes the embodiments of the battery cell transfer method with the scheduling system as the execution subject, and the following describes the embodiments of the battery cell transfer method with the unmanned transport vehicle as the execution subject. Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is another flowchart of the battery cell transfer method provided by the embodiments of the present application. The method is applied to Figure 1 the unmanned transport vehicle shown in the figure, and the method includes the following steps:

[0171] S701, receive the position code corresponding to the target placement point sent by the scheduling system; the target placement point includes the transfer placement starting point and the transfer placement ending point, and the position code includes the column information of the column where the target placement point is located in the battery cell containing device and the layer information of the layer where the target placement point is located.

[0172] S702: According to the position code, the target battery cell is transported from the transport placement starting point to the transport placement end point.

[0173] The unmanned transport vehicle can pick up the battery cell placed at the transfer placement starting point based on the column and layer information of the transfer placement starting point in the battery cell storage device. It can also determine the placement location of the battery cell based on the column and layer information of the transfer placement destination in the battery cell storage device, thereby transporting the battery cell placed at the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement destination.

[0174] The method provided in the embodiments of the present application receives information from the scheduling system regarding the column and layer of the target placement point in the cell storage device and transmits it to the target unmanned transport vehicle, thereby transporting the target cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point. This eliminates the need for manual cell handling, thereby improving cell handling efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0175] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned S702, transferring the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point according to the position code, can be implemented as follows:

[0176] According to the first column information and the first layer information in the position code corresponding to the transfer placement starting point, and the second column information and the second layer information in the position code corresponding to the transfer placement end point, the target battery cell is transferred from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point.

[0177] For example, the first column of information is the column identification information of the column where the transfer placement starting point is located in the battery cell storage device, and the first layer of information is the layer number of the layer where the transfer placement starting point is located in the battery cell storage device. The target unmanned transport vehicle can determine the specific location of the transfer placement starting point based on the first column information and the first layer information, thereby clamping the battery cell placed at the transfer placement starting point. The second column of information is the column identification information of the column where the transfer placement end point is located in the battery cell storage device, and the second layer of information is the layer number of the layer where the transfer placement end point is located in the battery cell storage device. The target unmanned transport vehicle can determine the specific location of the transfer placement end point based on the second column information and the second layer information, thereby placing the battery cell at the transfer placement end point.

[0178] For another example, the first column of information is the position information of the column where the transfer placement starting point is located in the battery cell storage device, and the first layer of information is the height of the layer where the transfer placement starting point is located in the battery cell storage device. The target unmanned transport vehicle can determine the specific position of the transfer placement starting point based on the first column and first layer information, thereby clamping the battery cell placed at the transfer placement starting point. The second column of information is the position information of the column where the transfer placement end point is located in the battery cell storage device, and the second layer of information is the height of the layer where the transfer placement end point is located in the battery cell storage device. The target unmanned transport vehicle can determine the specific position of the transfer placement end point based on the second column and second layer information, thereby placing the battery cell at the transfer placement end point.

[0179] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application transfers the target battery cell from the transfer placement starting point to the transfer placement end point according to the first column information and the first layer information in the position code corresponding to the transfer placement starting point, and the second column information and the second layer information in the position code corresponding to the transfer placement end point, thereby being able to more accurately determine the positions of the transfer placement starting point and the transfer placement end point, thereby increasing the probability of successfully acquiring the battery cell and the probability of successfully placing the battery cell at the transfer placement end point.

[0180] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flow chart of a cell transfer process based on position coding provided by an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment relates to a possible implementation method of how to transfer a target cell from a transfer placement starting point to a transfer placement end point based on the first column information and first layer information in the position coding corresponding to the transfer placement starting point, and the second column information and second layer information in the position coding corresponding to the transfer placement end point. Based on the above embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0181] S801. Move to the starting position corresponding to the transfer placement starting point according to the first column information, and scan the first column identification code corresponding to the transfer placement starting point.

[0182] In this embodiment of the present application, a two-dimensional column identification code containing column identification information can be affixed to the bottom layer of each column of the shelf and test incubator. The column identification information is also unique within the dispatching system. When the dispatching system constructs the map, it will set the column identification information within the map. The position of the column identification information within the map is unique, which also means that the position of the location code within the map is unique. Therefore, regardless of the type of mission, for the unmanned transport vehicle, it is a point-to-point sample transport.

[0183] The unmanned transport vehicle moves to the starting position corresponding to the transfer placement starting point based on the first column information and scans the first column identification code corresponding to the transfer placement starting point. For example, if the transfer placement starting point is located in the first column of the sampling shelf, since the first column bottom layer has the first column identification code attached, after the unmanned transport vehicle reaches the starting position corresponding to the transfer placement starting point, it can scan the column identification code attached to the bottom layer of the first column, that is, scan the first column identification code. If multiple cells in the same column need to be removed, the column identification code can be scanned only once, thereby reducing the number of scans and increasing the efficiency of cell placement.

[0184] S802: If the first column information is consistent with the first column identification code, determine a first height of the target battery cell according to the first layer information and a first preset layer height.

[0185] If the first column of information is consistent with the first column of identification codes, it means that the unmanned transport vehicle has arrived at the correct location. Then, based on the first layer information and the first preset layer height, the first height of the target battery cell can be determined, that is, the height at which the target battery cell is placed in the battery cell storage device. The first height of the target battery cell can be calculated using the following formula:

[0186] First height = scan height + (number of floors - 1) * first preset floor height

[0187] The scanning height here is the height from the ground to the pasting position of the column identification code corresponding to the transfer starting point. The number of floors refers to the floor indicated by the first floor information. The first preset floor height refers to the height of each floor of the battery cell storage device where the transfer starting point is located.

[0188] S803. Take out the target battery cell according to the first height, move it to the end position corresponding to the transfer and placement end point according to the second column information, and scan the second column identification code corresponding to the transfer and placement end point.

[0189] The unmanned transport vehicle can take out the target battery cell based on the first height, and move to the end position corresponding to the transfer placement end point according to the second column information, and also scan the second column identification code corresponding to the transfer placement end point.

[0190] S804: If the second column information is consistent with the second column identification code, determine the second height at which the battery cells to be transported should be placed according to the second layer information and the second preset layer height.

[0191] The second height can be calculated similarly to the above formula for calculating the first height.

[0192] Among them, the second height = scan code height + (number of floors - 1) * the second preset floor height

[0193] The scanning height here is the height from the ground to the pasting position of the column identification code corresponding to the transfer placement destination. The number of floors refers to the floor indicated by the second-layer information. The second preset floor height refers to the height of each floor of the battery cell storage device where the transfer placement destination is located.

[0194] S805: Place the target battery cell at the transfer placement destination according to the second height.

[0195] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the first height of the target battery cell according to the first layer information and the first preset layer height, takes out the target battery cell according to the first height, moves it to the end position corresponding to the transfer placement end point according to the second column information, and scans the second column identification code corresponding to the transfer placement end point. When the second column information is consistent with the second column identification code, the second height at which the battery cell to be transferred should be placed is determined according to the second layer information and the second preset layer height, and the target battery cell is placed at the transfer placement end point according to the second height, so that the positions of the transfer placement starting point and the transfer placement end point can be determined more accurately, thereby improving the probability of successfully acquiring the battery cell and the probability of successfully placing the battery cell at the transfer placement end point.

[0196] The following combination Figure 9 Introduce the process of transporting battery cells by unmanned transport vehicles.
