[0032] Logistics is the process of physical flow of goods from the supply point to the receiving point, which organically combines functions such as transportation, storage, loading and unloading, packaging, circulation processing, distribution, and information processing to meet user requirements according to actual needs. Logistics includes the transportation of various large and small items and is closely related to people's daily lives.

[0033] Among them, express delivery is a type of logistics transportation. Express parcels need to be sorted and processed before being delivered.

[0034] At present, the sorting and processing of express parcels is mainly carried out by sorting personnel manually sorting according to the parcel information of the express parcels, and the sorting efficiency of express parcels is low.

[0035] In response to the above problems, the inventors have conducted a long period of research and proposed the express sorting method, express sorting device, electronic device and storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application. By obtaining the package information of the express package and building a corresponding sorting queue according to the package information, and when it is determined that a balance wheel control request is received, the balance wheel is associated with the sorting queue, so that the balance wheel sorts the express package according to the package information. This realizes automatic control of the balance wheel to sort the express package according to the package information of the express package and the balance wheel control request, thereby improving the sorting efficiency of express sorting.

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the express sorting system provided in an embodiment of the present application, which may include a dynamic weighing and scanning (Dimension Weight Scanning, DWS) device 100, a balance wheel 200, a sorting line 300 and a warehouse control system (Warehouse Control System, WCS) service platform 400. The DWS device 100 and the balance wheel 200 can be installed on the sorting line 300, and the sorting conveyor belt can provide installation support for the DWS device 100 and the balance wheel 200.

[0038] The WCS service platform 400 can be communicatively connected to the DWS device 100 and the balance wheel 200 , and perform data exchange with the DWS device 100 and the balance wheel 200 .

[0039] The DWS device 100 can be used to measure the volume, weigh and scan the express parcel to obtain the parcel information of the express parcel. The balance wheel 200 can be used to sort the express parcel.

[0040] The WCS service platform 400 can be connected to the DWS device 100 and the balance wheel 200 through a network, and perform data exchange with the DWS device 100 and the balance wheel 200 through the network.

[0041] The WCS service platform 400 can be an independent WCS physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple WCS physical servers, or any one of the cloud servers that provide basic cloud computing services such as WCS cloud services, WCS cloud database, WCS cloud computing, WCS cloud functions, WCS cloud storage, WCS network services, WCS cloud communications, WCS middleware services, WCS domain name services, WCS security services, WCS content delivery network (CDN), WCS big data, or WCS artificial intelligence platform.

[0043] See also Figure 2 , which shows a flow chart of a courier sorting method provided by an embodiment of the present application. In a specific embodiment, the courier sorting method can be applied to Figure 1 The WCS service platform 400 in the express sorting system shown in FIG. Figure 2 The process shown is described in detail, and the express sorting method may include the following steps S110 to S130.

[0044] Step S110: Obtain package information of the express package.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, when the sorting personnel need to sort the express parcels, they can send a sorting instruction to the DWS device. The DWS device receives and responds to the sorting instruction, obtains the parcel information of the express parcel, and sends the parcel information to the WCS service platform through the network. The WCS service platform receives the parcel information sent by the DWS device.

[0046] The package information may include at least one of the package waybill number, package volume, and package weight, etc. The type of package information is not limited here and can be set according to actual needs.

[0047] In some embodiments, the DWS device may further include an input panel. When the sorting personnel need to sort the express parcels, they may input the sorting instructions on the input panel of the DWS device. The DWS device receives the sorting instructions input by the sorting personnel through the input panel.

[0048] In some embodiments, the DWS device may further include a voice recognition module. When the sorting personnel need to sort the express parcels, they can send out sorting voice information carrying sorting instructions within the voice collection range of the voice recognition module. The DWS device collects the sorting voice information through the voice recognition module, and performs voice recognition on the collected sorting voice information to obtain the sorting instructions.

[0049] In some embodiments, the express sorting system may further include a client, which is connected to the DWS device via a network and exchanges data with the DWS device via the network.

[0050] When the sorting personnel need to sort the express parcels, they can send sorting instructions to the client. The client receives and responds to the sorting instructions and forwards the sorting instructions to the DWS device through the network. The DWS device receives the sorting instructions forwarded by the client.

[0051] Among them, the client can be any one of a mobile client (for example, a mobile phone client, a personal digital assistant (PDA) client, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer, Tablet PC) client, a laptop computer client, a smart watch client, a smart bracelet client or a wearable client, etc.) or a fixed client (for example, a desktop computer client, a smart panel client, etc.). The type of client is not limited here and can be set according to actual needs.

[0052] Step S120: construct a corresponding sorting queue according to the package information.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the parcel information of the express parcel, the WCS service platform can determine the delivery slot of the express parcel and the queue time period of the express parcel, and construct a corresponding sorting queue based on the parcel information, the delivery slot and the queue time period.

[0054] The queue time period may be used to represent the time period corresponding to the time when the WCS obtains the package information and the time when the express package is delivered to the balance wheel.

[0055] The WCS service platform can obtain the belt pressure of the sorting line and determine whether the belt pressure is normal. When the WCS service platform determines that the belt pressure is normal, the express parcel unloading slot is determined as the target slot, and the target slot is associated with the parcel information; when the WCS service platform determines that the belt pressure is abnormal, the express parcel unloading slot is determined as the spare slot.

[0056] As an example, the belt pressure threshold of the sorting line can be y0 / x0, which means that the maximum number of express parcels carried by the sorting line within an average duration of x0 is y0. If the WCS service platform obtains that the number of express parcels carried by the sorting line within a duration of x1 is y1, the belt pressure of the sorting line can be determined to be y1 / x1, and whether the belt pressure is normal can be determined based on the belt pressure y1 / x1 and the belt pressure threshold y0 / x0.

[0057] When the belt pressure y1 / x1 is greater than or equal to the belt pressure threshold y0 / x0, the belt pressure is determined to be normal, and the target grid associated with the package information is determined as the grid for unloading the express package; when the belt pressure y1 / x1 is less than the belt pressure threshold y0 / x0, the belt pressure is determined to be abnormal, and the preset spare grid is determined as the grid for unloading the express package.

[0058] The WCS service platform can calculate the delivery time of the express package to the balance wheel according to the delivery speed of the sorting line and the distance from the DWS device to the balance wheel, and calculate the delivery time of the express package to the balance wheel according to the acquisition time and delivery time of the package information, and determine the time period corresponding to the acquisition time and the delivery time as the queue time period of the express package.

[0059] Step S130: When it is determined that a balance wheel control request is received, the balance wheel is associated with a sorting queue so that the balance wheel sorts the express parcels according to the parcel information.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, after the WCS service platform builds the corresponding sorting queue according to the parcel information, when it is determined that a balance wheel control request is received, the balance wheel can be associated with the sorting queue, so that the balance wheel can sort the express parcel according to the parcel information, and the balance wheel can be automatically controlled to sort the express parcel according to the parcel information of the express parcel and the balance wheel control request, thereby improving the sorting efficiency of express parcel sorting. Among them, the balance wheel control request can be used to instruct the WCS service platform to associate the balance wheel with the sorting queue.

[0061] Specifically, when the WCS service platform determines that it has received a balance wheel control request, it associates the balance wheel with the sorting queue, and sends the next item slot and delivery time to the balance wheel. The balance wheel receives and responds to the next item slot and delivery time, and sorts the express parcel out of the next item slot at the delivery time.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the WCS service platform determines that it has received a balance wheel control request, it associates the balance wheel with a sorting queue, so that after the balance wheel sorts the express parcel according to the parcel information, after the balance wheel completes the sorting of the express parcel according to the associated parcel information, it can send the corresponding sorting result information to the WCS service platform through the network. The WCS service platform receives the sorting result information returned by the balance wheel, and generates and stores the corresponding sorting record based on the sorting result information, so that the sorting personnel can track the sorting process of historical express parcels according to the sorting records, thereby improving the management experience of the sorting personnel in managing the sorting process of express parcels.

[0063] The sorting result information includes package information, the loading slot, and the sorting time, etc. The type of the sorting result information is not limited here and can be set according to actual needs.

[0064] The solution provided in this embodiment obtains the package information of the express package, builds a corresponding sorting queue according to the package information, and when it is determined that a balance wheel control request is received, associates the balance wheel with the sorting queue, so that the balance wheel sorts the express package according to the package information. This realizes automatic control of the balance wheel to sort the express package according to the package information of the express package and the balance wheel control request, thereby improving the sorting efficiency of express delivery.

[0065] See also Figure 3 , which shows a flow chart of a courier sorting method provided by another embodiment of the present application. In a specific embodiment, the courier sorting method can be applied to Figure 1 The WCS service platform 400 in the express sorting system shown in FIG. Figure 3 The process shown is described in detail, and the express sorting method may include the following steps S210 to S250.

[0066] Step S210: Obtain package information of the express package.

[0067] Step S220: construct a corresponding sorting queue according to the package information.

[0068] In this embodiment, step S210 and step S220 may refer to the contents of the corresponding steps in the aforementioned embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0069] Step S230: Acquire a complementary photoelectric signal.

[0070] In this embodiment, the express sorting system may further include a complementary code segment photoelectric device, which is connected to the WCS service platform via a network and exchanges data with the WCS service platform via the network. The complementary code segment photoelectric device is arranged between the DWS device and the balance wheel, and the complementary code segment photoelectric device can be used to generate a complementary code photoelectric signal.

[0071] The WCS service platform builds the corresponding sorting queue according to the package information and can send a signal acquisition instruction to the complementary code segment photoelectric device. The complementary code segment photoelectric device receives and responds to the signal acquisition instruction and sends the corresponding complementary code photoelectric signal to the WCS service platform. The WCS service platform receives the complementary code photoelectric signal returned by the complementary code segment photoelectric device.

[0072] Step S240: determining whether a balance wheel control request is received according to the complementary photoelectric signal.

[0073] In this embodiment, after acquiring the complementary photoelectric signal, the WCS service platform can determine whether a balance wheel control request is received according to the complementary photoelectric signal.

[0074] Specifically, after acquiring the complementary photoelectric signal, the WCS service platform can match the complementary photoelectric signal with a preset signal to obtain a signal matching degree, and determine whether a balance wheel control request is received according to the signal matching degree.

[0075] When the signal matching degree is greater than or equal to the signal matching degree threshold, it is determined that the balance wheel control request is received; when the signal matching degree is less than the signal matching degree threshold, it is determined that the balance wheel control request is not received.

[0076] The preset signal can be used to represent the complementary photoelectric signal generated when the complementary code segment photoelectric device senses a courier package.

[0077] Step S250: When it is determined according to the complementary photoelectric signal that a balance wheel control request is received, the balance wheel is associated with a sorting queue.

[0078] In this embodiment, when the WCS service platform determines that a balance wheel control request has been received based on the complementary code photoelectric signal, the balance wheel can be associated with the sorting queue so that the balance wheel can sort the express parcels according to the parcel information. This realizes automatic control of the balance wheel to sort the express parcels based on the parcel information and the complementary code photoelectric signal of the express parcel, thereby improving the sorting efficiency of express delivery.

[0079] Specifically, when the WCS service platform determines that it has received a balance wheel control request based on the complementary code photoelectric signal, it associates the balance wheel with the sorting queue, and sends the next item slot and delivery time to the balance wheel. The balance wheel receives and responds to the next item slot and delivery time, and sorts the express parcel out from the next item slot at the delivery time.

[0080] In some embodiments, when the WCS service platform determines that a balance wheel control request is received based on the complementary code photoelectric signal, the request time of the balance wheel control request can be obtained, and it can be determined whether the request time is in the queue time period of the sorting queue. When it is determined that the request time is in the queue time period of the sorting queue, the balance wheel is associated with the sorting queue, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the association between the balance wheel and the sorting queue.

[0081] In some embodiments, when the WCS service platform determines that a balance wheel control request is received based on a complementary photoelectric signal, the request time of the balance wheel control request can be obtained, and it can be determined whether the request time is in the queue time period of the sorting queue. When it is determined that the request time is not in the queue time period of the sorting queue, the express parcel is associated with the spare grid, and the spare grid is sent to the balance wheel. The balance wheel receives and responds to the spare grid, and sorts the express parcel out from the spare grid, thereby avoiding unassociated express parcels blocking the sorting line and improving the sorting efficiency of express delivery.

[0082] The solution provided in this embodiment obtains the package information of the express package, builds a corresponding sorting queue according to the package information, obtains the complementary photoelectric signal, determines whether a balance wheel control request is received according to the complementary photoelectric signal, and when it is determined according to the complementary photoelectric signal that the balance wheel control request is received, associates the balance wheel with the sorting queue, thereby realizing automatic control of the balance wheel to sort the express package according to the package information of the express package and the complementary photoelectric signal, thereby improving the sorting efficiency of express delivery.
