Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of logistics warehousing technology, and in particular to a material sorting method, device and computer equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the economy and the continuous changes in consumption patterns, the logistics and warehousing industries are facing increasing challenges. In order to meet consumers' demand for fast, accurate and efficient logistics services, companies need to improve the automation and intelligence level of logistics and warehousing. As a key link in the logistics and warehousing process, the performance and efficiency of the sorting system directly affect the operation of the entire logistics chain. However, the current efficiency of the sorting system in the home appliance industry is relatively low. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a material sorting method, device and computer equipment to solve the problem of low working efficiency of the sorting system in the home appliance industry.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a material sorting method, comprising the following steps: when a real work box arrives at a first position, obtaining first identification information obtained by scanning the real work box with a first scanner; obtaining order information in a warehouse management system; determining a current offline point of the real work box based on the order information and the first identification information; when a second scanner scans the first identification information, unbinding the first identification information from the current offline point in the order information.

[0005] The material sorting method provided by the present invention, when the actual work box arrives at the first position, by acquiring the first identification information obtained by scanning the actual work box with the first scanner and the order information in the warehouse management system, the current offline point of the actual work box can be determined according to the order information and the first identification information. In other words, the current offline point of the actual work box is determined according to the first identification information and the order information carried in the barcode of the actual work box. When the second scanner scans the first identification information, the first identification information is untied from the current offline point in the order information. In other words, after the materials in the actual work box are offline at the determined offline point, the first identification information in the empty work box (the empty work box obtained after the materials in the actual work box are offline) is untied from the current offline point, so that the first identification information in the empty work box can be bound to the next offline point when the empty work box is used next time. In this embodiment, since the identification information on the tooling boxes is not fixed, when a large number of tooling boxes in a certain line are occupied, tooling boxes in other lines can be used to transfer materials, thereby solving the problem of low work efficiency of the line with a large number of tooling boxes occupied.

[0009] That is to say, after the actual work box arrives in place, the jacking device and the transfer device are controlled to run simultaneously, which shortens the running time.

[0011] That is to say, in the process of the lifting device and the transfer device moving the solid work box from the lower position to the upper position, the material in the solid work box can be prevented from shaking in the solid work box by controlling the moving speed.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the material sorting method further includes the following steps: when the actual work box arrives at the elevator position, the elevator is at the first material receiving port and the upper line of the elevator is in an idle state, the actual work box is controlled to enter the upper line.

[0013] That is to say, the elevator is a double-layer elevator, wherein the actual work boxes are transported in the upper line of the double-layer elevator. The double-layer elevator is adopted, thereby improving the material sorting efficiency.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the material sorting method further includes the following steps: when a feeding request for an empty work box is received and the lower line body of the elevator is in an idle state, controlling the empty work box to enter the lower line body.

[0015] That is to say, the elevator is a double-layer elevator, wherein the empty work boxes are transported in the lower line of the double-layer elevator. The double-layer elevator is adopted, thereby improving the material sorting efficiency.

[0016] In the second aspect, the present invention also provides a material sorting device, including a first acquisition module, a second acquisition module, a drop-off point determination module and a drop-off point unbinding module; wherein the first acquisition module is used to obtain the first identification information obtained by the first scanner scanning the actual work box when the actual work box arrives at the first position; the second acquisition module is used to obtain order information in the warehouse management system; the drop-off point determination module is used to determine the current drop-off point of the actual work box according to the order information and the first identification information; the drop-off point unbinding module is used to unbind the first identification information from the current drop-off point in the order information when the second scanner scans the first identification information.

[0017] In a third aspect, the present invention further provides a computer device, comprising a memory and a processor, the memory and the processor being communicatively connected to each other, the memory storing computer instructions, and the processor executing the material sorting method of the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof by executing the computer instructions.

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the sorting system in the home appliance industry in the relevant technology. Figure 2 This is a working principle diagram of the sorting system in the home appliance industry in the relevant technology. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sorting system of the home appliance industry in the related technology includes area A and area B. The materials in area A need to be transported to area B for sorting. Specifically, the materials are loaded into work boxes at the online point and flow from area A to area B. After the materials in the work boxes are used at the offline point, the empty work boxes flow back to area A from area B, and the cycle repeats.

[0032] Among them, area A can be divided into three lines, namely, line 1 in area A, line 2 in area A, and line 3 in area A; area B can also be divided into three lines, namely, line 1 in area B, line 2 in area B, and line 3 in area B. There are three line bodies between area A and area B, among which there is a line body C1 between line 1 in area A and line 1 in area B, and the tool box in line body C1 is provided with identification information D1; there is a line body C2 between line 2 in area A and line 2 in area B, and the tool box in line body C2 is provided with identification information D2; there is a line body C3 between line 3 in area A and line 3 in area B, and the tool box in line body C3 is provided with identification information D3. Based on this, when line 1 in area B is less than the safety stock, the corresponding line 1 in area A starts to discharge materials; when line 2 in area B is less than the safety stock, the corresponding line 2 in area A starts to discharge materials; when line 3 in area B is less than the safety stock, the corresponding line 3 in area A starts to discharge materials.

[0033] When the three lines are working at the same time, when the actual work box filled with materials arrives at the position of the first scanner, the first scanner 1 scans the barcode on the actual work box, and determines the offline point of the actual work box according to the identification information carried in the barcode on the actual work box. For example, if the identification information in the barcode of the actual work box is D1, the offline point of the actual work box is line 1 in area B; if the identification information in the barcode of the actual work box is D2, the offline point of the actual work box is line 2 in area B. After the actual work box reaches the determined offline point to complete the offline of the material, when the empty work box returns to the position of the second scanner 2, the second scanner 2 scans the barcode on the empty work box, and determines the online point of the empty work box according to the identification information carried in the barcode on the empty work box, in preparation for the next cycle. For example, if the identification information in the barcode of the empty work box is D1, then the upper line point of the empty work box is line 1 in area A; if the identification information in the barcode of the empty work box is D3, then the upper line point of the empty work box is line 3 in area B.

[0034] It can be seen that in the related art, each tool box in the line has fixed identification information, and the tool boxes in the three lines cannot be mixed. In the home appliance industry, there are cases where the tool boxes are occupied (after the materials are transported to area B, some materials need to be returned, resulting in the need for cross-order production, and the materials in the tool boxes cannot be taken out in time, occupying the tool boxes). For example, when the tool boxes in line C1 are occupied, the efficiency of transferring materials from line 1 in area A to line 1 in area B is low.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a material sorting method embodiment is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0036] In this embodiment, a material sorting method is provided, which can be used in computer equipment. Figure 3 is a flow chart of a material sorting method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0037] Step S301: when the actual work box arrives at the first position, first identification information obtained by scanning the actual work box with the first barcode scanner 1 is obtained.

[0038] The actual work box is a work box for loading materials. The first position is the position where the first scanner is located. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the first scanner can be set on the line moving from area A to area B, for example, set before area B line 1, area B line 2 and area B line 3.

[0039] Step S302: Acquire order information, wherein the order information carries the current offline point corresponding to the first identification information.

[0040] Specifically, order information can be obtained in the warehouse management system WCS.

[0041] Step S303: Determine the current offline point of the actual packaging according to the order information and the first identification information.

[0042] That is to say, the current offline point of the actual work packaging is determined based on the first identification information and the order information carried in the actual work packaging barcode, rather than being determined based only on the first identification information carried in the actual work packaging barcode.

[0043] Step S304: When the second barcode scanner 2 scans the first identification information, the first identification information is unbound from the current offline point in the order information.

[0044] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the second scanner can be set to move from area B to the line of area A, for example, set before line 1 of area A, line 2 of area A and line 3 of area A.

[0045] That is to say, after the materials in the actual work box are offline at the determined offline point, in the process of moving the empty work box from area B to area A, the first identification information in the empty work box (the empty work box obtained after the materials in the actual work box are offline) is untied from the current offline point, so that the first identification information in the empty work box can be bound to the next offline point when the empty work box is used next time.

[0046] The material sorting method provided in this embodiment, when the actual work box arrives at the first position, by obtaining the first identification information obtained by scanning the actual work box with the first scanner 1 and the order information in the warehouse management system, the current offline point of the actual work box can be determined according to the order information and the first identification information. In other words, the current offline point of the actual work box is determined according to the first identification information and the order information carried in the barcode of the actual work box. When the second scanner 2 scans the first identification information, the first identification information is untied from the current offline point in the order information. In other words, after the materials in the actual work box are offline at the determined offline point, the first identification information in the empty work box (the empty work box obtained after the materials in the actual work box are offline) is untied from the current offline point, so that the first identification information in the empty work box can be bound to the next offline point when the empty work box is used next time. In this embodiment, since the identification information on the tooling boxes is not fixed, when a large number of tooling boxes in a certain line are occupied, tooling boxes in other lines can be used to transfer materials, thereby solving the problem of low work efficiency of the line with a large number of tooling boxes occupied.

[0047] In this embodiment, a material sorting method is provided, which can be used in computer equipment. Figure 4 is a flow chart of another material sorting method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S401: After receiving a material call signal, determine the current offline point according to the material call signal.

[0049] Step S402: In the order information, the first identification information is bound to the current offline point.

[0050] Step S403: when the actual work box arrives at the first position, first identification information obtained by scanning the actual work box with the first barcode scanner 1 is obtained.

[0051] Step S404: Acquire order information, wherein the order information carries the current offline point corresponding to the first identification information.

[0052] Step S405: Determine the current offline point of the actual packaging according to the order information and the first identification information.

[0053] Step S406: When the actual work box arrives at the lifting and transferring position, the lifting device and the transferring device are controlled to move the actual work box to the upper position.

[0054] In an optional implementation, controlling the lifting device and the transfer device to move the actual tooling box to the upper position includes the following steps S4061 to S4062.

[0055] Step S4061: Control the lifting device and the transfer device to move the actual work box from the lower position to the third position at a preset first speed.

[0056] Specifically, the lower position refers to a position at which the connection between the lifting device and the transfer device and the line body can be completed.

[0057] Step S4062: After the actual work box arrives at the third position, the lifting device and the transfer device are controlled to move the actual work box from the third position to the upper position at a preset second speed; wherein the first speed is greater than the second speed.

[0058] Specifically, the third position is located between the lower position and the upper position.

[0059] In the process that the lifting device and the transfer device move the solid work box from the lower position to the upper position, the moving speed can be controlled to prevent the materials in the solid work box from shaking in the solid work box.

[0060] Step S407: When the actual work box arrives at the upper position, the transplanting device is controlled to move the actual work box to the current offline point and the lifting device is controlled to descend to the lower position.

[0061] Specifically, the upper position refers to a position at which the transfer device can be connected to the lower line point.

[0062] That is to say, after the actual work box arrives in place, the jacking device and the transfer device are controlled to run simultaneously, which shortens the running time.

[0063] Step S408: When the second barcode scanner 2 scans the first identification information, the first identification information is unbound from the current offline point in the order information.

[0064] The material sorting method provided in this embodiment can not only solve the problem of low work efficiency of the line body due to the large number of occupied work boxes; but also in the process of the lifting device and the transfer device moving the actual work box from the lower position to the upper position, by controlling the moving speed, it is possible to prevent the materials in the actual work box from shaking in the actual work box; after the actual work box reaches the upper position, the lifting device and the transfer device are controlled to run simultaneously, thereby shortening the running time.

[0065] In this embodiment, a material sorting method is provided, which can be used in computer equipment. Figure 5 is a flow chart of another material sorting method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 1 is a working principle diagram of a household appliance industry sorting system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] In the material sorting method of this embodiment, a double-layer elevator is required, wherein the double-layer elevator is a mechanical device specially designed for vertically transporting materials between two different heights. Figure 6 As shown, line 1, line 2 and line 3 work simultaneously. The upper line of the double-layer elevator transports different materials to the position of the first barcode scanner 1. The first barcode scanner 1 scans the barcode on the actual work box, interacts with the WCS, determines the offline point of the work box, and transports the materials to the determined offline point. When the material is transported to the determined offline point, the line sends a signal to the line-side robot to allow material collection. The robot picks out the materials in the actual work box one by one. After sorting, the empty work box returns to area A through the lower line of the double-layer elevator. At the position of the second barcode scanner 2, the second barcode scanner 2 scans the barcode on the empty work box, interacts with the WCS, and unbinds the empty work box task. The empty work box returns to area A randomly to prepare for the next cycle.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, the material sorting method includes the following steps:

[0068] Step S501: after receiving a material calling signal, the current offline point is determined according to the material calling signal.

[0069] Step S502: In the order information, the first identification information is bound to the current offline point.

[0070] Step S503: When the actual work box arrives at the elevator position, the elevator is at the first material receiving port and the upper line of the elevator is in an idle state, the actual work box is controlled to enter the upper line.

[0071] Step S504: When a feeding request for an empty tool box is received and the lower line body of the elevator is in an idle state, the empty tool box is controlled to enter the lower line body.

[0072] That is to say, full work boxes are transported in the upper line of the double-layer elevator, and empty work boxes are transported in the lower line of the double-layer elevator. The use of double-layer elevators can improve the material sorting efficiency.

[0073] For example, when the actual work box arrives at the position in front of the double-layer elevator, a feeding application is sent to the double-layer elevator. After the double-layer elevator arrives at the docking port, when the double-layer elevator meets the material receiving conditions (for example, the upper line of the double-layer elevator is in an idle state), the actual work box enters the upper line of the double-layer elevator. At the same time, if there is an empty work box in the lower line of the double-layer elevator, the double-layer elevator sends a feeding application to the line. When the line meets the material receiving conditions, the empty work box in the lower line of the double-layer elevator enters the line. After the feeding of the lower line of the double-layer elevator is completed and the feeding of the upper line is completed, the actual work box is transported to the target docking point, and the actual work box is transported interactively with the line at the target docking point. At the same time, if there is an empty work box transportation task in the lower line of the double-layer elevator, the double-layer elevator needs to interact with the line again to complete the simultaneous transportation of empty boxes and actual boxes.

[0074] Step S505: when the actual work box arrives at the first position, first identification information obtained by scanning the actual work box with the first barcode scanner 1 is obtained.

[0075] Step S506: Obtain order information.

[0076] Step S507: Determine the current offline point of the actual packaging according to the order information and the first identification information.

[0077] Step S508: When the actual work box arrives at the lifting and transferring position, the lifting device and the transferring device are controlled to move the actual work box to the upper position.

[0078] Step S509: When the actual work box arrives at the upper position, the transplanting device is controlled to move the actual work box to the current offline point and the lifting device is controlled to descend to the lower position.

[0079] Step S510: When the second barcode scanner 2 scans the first identification information, the first identification information is unbound from the current offline point in the order information.

[0080] The present embodiment not only solves the problem of low working efficiency of the line where more tooling boxes are occupied, but also adopts a double-layer elevator, thereby improving the material sorting efficiency.

[0081] In summary, the automated and intelligent material sorting method of the present invention can greatly improve sorting efficiency, reduce manual intervention and error rate, reduce costs and energy consumption, and obtain higher economic benefits. At the same time, the material sorting method can also improve the accuracy and timeliness of logistics services, meet consumers' demand for fast and accurate logistics services, and enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises.
