Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of warehouse sorting, and in particular to an automatic sorting device and method based on a WCS warehouse control system. Background Art
[0002] WMS and WCS are two indispensable systems in warehouse automation. There is a close and unique relationship between them. WMS is the core of warehouse management. It is responsible for all aspects such as arrival and storage location, reduction, delivery and inventory management. It is the brain of warehouse operation. WCS focuses on automation, control and management of warehouse equipment, including status control of conveyors, sorters and other equipment, task scheduling and process management. WMS will issue high-level instructions to WCS, such as picking tasks, storage, location, allocation, etc., and WCS will feedback the execution status and equipment data to WMS. At the functional level, WMS is at a higher level, focusing on inventory management, order processing, and rule making, while WCS focuses more on specific equipment control and task scheduling. WMS deals with abstract inventory units, while WCS is responsible for specific physical equipment operations. WMS does not have to process all operations in real time, while WCS must process equipment operations in real time to ensure fast response and precise control. WMS provides an interface for warehouse managers and decision makers, while WCS provides an interface for operators. WMS and WCS are two important pillars of warehouse automation. They work together to promote the automation and intelligence of warehouse operations.
[0003] When the WCS control system controls and manages warehouse equipment, such as controlling the status of conveyors, sorting machines and other equipment, the sorting machine in the WCS control system needs to transfer the goods in the warehouse during the sorting process, which is generally achieved by using a clamping manipulator. During use, some objects are set in a flat shape and fit tightly to the surface of the conveyor belt. At this time, the use of a clamping manipulator for clamping and sorting is not ideal, and it cannot stably clamp flat objects, and there are certain limitations in its use. Therefore, in response to the above problems, an automatic sorting device and method based on a WCS warehouse control system are proposed. Summary of the invention

[0042] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0043] An automatic sorting device and method based on a WCS warehouse control system, comprising a conveying mechanism 1 and an identification device 2;
[0044] An identification device 2 for identifying information of an object is installed on one side of the conveying mechanism 1, and a drying mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the conveying mechanism 1 is provided on one side of the identification device 2;
[0045] The surface of the conveying mechanism 1 is also fixedly connected with a reciprocating mechanism 4, and the outer side of the reciprocating mechanism 4 is fixedly connected with a sorting mechanism 5;
[0046] A WCS control system 8 is also provided on one side of the conveying mechanism 1;
[0047] A sorting box 6 is provided at the other end of the conveying mechanism 1, and a mechanical arm 7 for sorting objects is installed inside the sorting box 6;
[0048] The sorting mechanism 5 comprises a connecting frame 501, a hydraulic rod 502 and a moving frame 503. The outer side of the connecting frame 501 is fixedly connected to the reciprocating mechanism 4. The hydraulic rod 502 is installed inside the connecting frame 501, and the free end of the hydraulic rod 502 is fixedly connected to the moving frame 503. The inside of the moving frame 503 is fixedly connected to a second motor 504. The end of the main shaft of the second motor 504 is fixedly connected to a rotating disk 505. One side of the moving frame 503 is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 505. One side of the rotating disk 505 is fixedly connected to a rotating mechanism 507.
[0049] A shovel plate 506 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating disk 505 .
[0050] One side of the shovel plate 506 is pointed.
[0051] The outer side of the rotating disk 505 is rotatably connected to the limiting frame 508 , and the outer side of the limiting frame 508 is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting frame 501 .
[0052] The above usage is as follows:
[0053] Step 1: After receiving the instruction from the WMS control system, the WCS control system 8 sends it to the PLC to drive the production line to produce subsequent actions, and reflects the status data of the PLC on the display screen in real time. The object is placed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt of the conveyor mechanism 1 by the equipment, and the conveyor mechanism 1 is started to convey the object;
[0054] Step 2: The flat object is identified when passing through the identification device 2, and then the flat object is picked up by the sorting mechanism 5 and turned over. The flat object is moved by the reciprocating mechanism 4, and the moving speed of the reciprocating mechanism 4 is synchronized with the running speed of the conveying mechanism 1;
[0055] Step 3: Then enter the sorting box 6, sort the objects through the robot arm 7, and the drying mechanism 3 set at one end of the conveying mechanism 1 is used to dry the surface of the conveying mechanism 1 to ensure that the objects are separated from the conveying mechanism 1.
[0056] During the sorting process, the goods in the warehouse need to be transferred, which is generally achieved by a clamping manipulator. During use, some objects are set in a flat shape and fit tightly on the surface of the conveyor belt. At this time, the clamping manipulator is used for clamping and sorting, which is not ideal. It cannot stably clamp flat objects and has certain limitations. When in use, the WCS control system interacts with the WMS system, receives the WMS's designation, and sends it to the PLC to drive the corresponding information action generated by the production line. It reflects the status data of the PLC on the interface in real time. The object is identified by the identification device 2, and then the hydraulic rod 502 is started to drive the moving frame 503 to extend, and drive the shovel plate 506 and the rotating mechanism 507 to be located on one side of the flat object. The flat object is driven to move to the shovel plate 506 by starting the rotating mechanism 507 to avoid it. At this time, it can fix the flat object. The rotating disk 505 is driven to rotate by the second motor 504. At this time, the flat object is vertical, which is convenient for the manipulator 7 to perform subsequent clamping and sorting purposes;
[0057] In this embodiment, when in use, the hydraulic rod 502 can drive the moving frame 503 to move to one side of the conveying mechanism 1, so that the shovel plate 506 and the rotating mechanism 507 can be extended, and the shovel plate 506 is in contact with the conveyor belt surface of the conveying mechanism 1. At this time, the rotating mechanism 507 rotates, and the object is driven to the surface of the shovel plate 506, and one side of the shovel plate 506 is set with a pointed tip, so that the object is conveniently located on the surface and is squeezed and fixed by the rotating mechanism 507;
[0058] The setting of the limit frame 508 can ensure stable rotation with the rotating disk 505. At the same time, the limit frame 508 slides inside the connecting frame 501 to ensure that it can be used continuously. The limit block inside the limit frame 508 can ensure stable rotation with the rotating disk 505, and the second motor 504 can realize the flipping of the object, which is convenient for subsequent clamping;
[0059] The WCS warehouse control system 8 exchanges information with the upper-level WMS system, accepts instructions from the upper-level WMS system, and sends them to the electronically controlled PLC system, thereby driving the conveyor lines and sorting equipment to produce corresponding mechanical actions, and provides an operating interface for manual debugging of the electronically controlled PLC system, conveyor lines and sorting machines.
[0060] WCS warehouse control system 8 achieves unlimited expansion capabilities for complex systems by extending configuration classes. Users can view the system operation status through the front-end web page or client of WCS warehouse control system 8, which is convenient for users to understand the situation in a timely manner and make timely adjustments.
[0061] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. Figure 6 Specifically, the rotating mechanism 507 includes a rotating frame 5071, a third motor 5072 and a rotating rod 5073. The outer side of the rotating frame 5071 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 505. The inner side of the rotating frame 5071 is fixedly connected to the third motor 5072. The end of the main shaft of the third motor 5072 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 5073. The outer side of the rotating rod 5073 is fixedly connected to a rotating roller 5074. The outer side of the rotating roller 5074 is fixedly connected to a rotating sleeve 5075.
[0062] The third motor 5072 drives the rotating rod 5073 to rotate, and the rotating rod 5073 drives the rotating roller 5074 to rotate, so as to facilitate the rotation of the rotating sleeve 5075 outside the rotating roller 5074, thereby contacting the flat object and driving it to move to the surface of the shovel plate 506, so as to facilitate subsequent sorting;
[0063] In this embodiment, the surface of the rotating sleeve 5075 is provided with wrinkles to increase the friction force, making it easier to push flat objects and facilitate their positioning on the surface of the shovel plate 506.
[0064] Example 3: This example is an improvement on Example 1. Figure 4 Specifically, the reciprocating mechanism 4 includes a fixed frame 401, a first motor 402 and a threaded shaft 403. The bottom of the fixed frame 401 is fixedly connected to the conveying mechanism 1. The interior of the fixed frame 401 is fixedly connected to the first motor 402, and the end of the main shaft of the first motor 402 is fixedly connected to the threaded shaft 403. The other end of the threaded shaft 403 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 401. The outer side of the threaded shaft 403 is spirally connected to a threaded sleeve 404, and the other end of the threaded sleeve 404 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 405. The outer side of the sliding block 405 is fixedly connected to the sorting mechanism 5.
[0065] When fixing flat objects, the first motor 402 is started to drive the threaded shaft 403 to rotate. At this time, the threaded shaft 403 drives the threaded sleeve 404 to move, and the threaded sleeve 404 drives the sliding block 405 to move, thereby driving the sorting mechanism 5 to move. At this time, it is convenient for the sorting mechanism 5 to enter the sorting box 6, which is convenient for the robot arm 7 to perform sorting.
[0066] Example 4: This example is an improvement on Example 3. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the drying mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301, a fan 302 and a shielding plate 303. The bottom of the mounting frame 301 is fixedly connected to the conveying mechanism 1, the top of the mounting frame 301 is fixedly connected to the fan 302, the front side of the mounting frame 301 is installed with the shielding plate 303, and the front side of the mounting frame 301 is also installed with an extension frame 304 extending forward;
[0067] The installation frame 301 is internally provided with connecting plates 305 distributed in an upper and lower manner. A heating rod 306 is also installed inside the installation frame 301 . A plurality of exhaust nozzles 307 are installed at the bottom of the installation frame 301 .
[0068] When sorting objects, the fan 302 is started to drive the air to move downward, and the air is heated when passing through the heating rod 306. The hot air is discharged through the exhaust nozzle 307, thereby drying the surface of the conveying mechanism 1 to prevent the objects from adhering to the surface of the conveying mechanism 1, and facilitating the separation of the conveying mechanism 1 and the objects;
[0069] In this embodiment, the baffle plate 303 cooperates with the connecting plate 305 to achieve the purpose of installing the baffle plate 303. When repairing internal components, the baffle plate 303 can be removed. The exhaust nozzle 307 is set to ensure that hot air is blown downward stably to dry the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism 1.
