[0042] The process of user querying and exporting data: After the system automatically completes the task order, the user can view material information, task information, process information, etc. At the same time, the user can conduct targeted queries through specific conditions and complete data export.

[0043] Accordingly, the present invention proposes a traditional soy sauce intelligent brewing and drying method, which is compatible with the traditional soy sauce intelligent brewing and drying system. Figure 3 ,include:

[0044] S1: Read and determine the task type, wherein the task type includes feeding task, turning task and discharging task;

[0045] S2: confirm the current state of the task execution device. If the task execution device is in an idle state, proceed to S3. If the task execution device is in a running state or a faulty state, proceed to S2 again after an interval T1. The task execution device includes a feeding device, a turning device, and a discharging device.

[0046] S3: Determine whether the task execution device is at a location to execute the task. If so, directly execute the task. If not, control the scheduling device to schedule the task execution device to the location to execute the task.

[0047] S4: The task execution device executes a material feeding task, a material turning task or a material discharging task.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 According to a preferred embodiment, the execution steps of the feeding, turning and discharging tasks are described in detail:

[0049] When the user starts the feeding task, the PLC of the transfer car receives the task information, and through the position feedback of the feeding car, the transfer car automatically moves to the track connection point where the feeding car is located. After arriving at the position, it stops and waits, and feeds back the signal and status to the system. At the same time, after receiving the feeding task, the feeding car feeds back its own position to the system, and automatically moves to the connection point of the current track. After arriving at the connection point, it stops and waits, and feeds back the signal and status to the system. When the transfer car and the feeding car are in place, the system sends a boarding instruction to the feeding car. After receiving the command, the feeding car automatically moves to the transfer car, stops after arriving, and feeds back the signal. First, the transfer car moves to the receiving point of the material bin and connects the materials in the material bin to the feeding car. After completion, the transfer car automatically moves to the track with the feeding task, stops when in place, and the feeding car gets off. After getting off, the transfer car enters standby mode and can perform other docking tasks of the system. The feeding car runs automatically and finds the sauce tank that needs to be fed according to the radio frequency positioning signal. After it is in place, the feeding car automatically opens the lid of the sauce tank and injects a certain amount of material into the sauce tank through the control of the pump and valve. After completion, the tank lid is automatically closed. If there are subsequent work tasks, repeat the above steps. If there are no work tasks, it automatically returns to the track docking point, and feedbacks the work task completion signal, waiting for the transfer car to dock, and automatically returns to the standby position or charging position for charging.

[0050] When the user starts the material turning task, the PLC of the transfer vehicle receives the task information, and the transfer vehicle automatically moves to the track connection point where the transfer vehicle is located. After arriving at the position, it stops and waits, and feeds back the signal and status to the system. At the same time, after receiving the material turning task, the transfer vehicle feeds back its own position to the system, and automatically moves to the connection point of the current track. After arriving at the connection point, it stops and waits, and feeds back the signal and status to the system. When the transfer vehicle and the transfer vehicle are in place, the system sends a boarding instruction to the transfer vehicle. After receiving the command, the transfer vehicle automatically moves to the transfer vehicle, stops after arriving, and feeds back the signal. The transfer car automatically moves to the track with the material turning task, stops when it is in place, and the material turning car performs the disembarkation task. After disembarking, the transfer car enters the standby state and can perform other docking tasks of the system. The material turning car runs automatically and finds the sauce vat that needs to be turned according to the radio frequency positioning signal. After it is in place, the material turning car automatically opens the lid of the sauce vat, and the auger turning device descends and extends into the sauce vat. After the auger rotates for a specified time, the auger device rotates in the opposite direction, and the lifting device slowly lifts back to its original position. After completion, the tank cover is automatically covered. If there are subsequent work tasks, repeat the above steps. If there are no work tasks, it automatically returns to the track docking point, and feedbacks the work task completion signal, waiting for the transfer car to dock, and automatically returns to the standby position or charging position for charging.

[0051] When the user starts the unloading task, the PLC of the transfer car receives the task information, and through the position feedback of the unloading car, the transfer car automatically moves to the track connection point where the unloading car is located. After arriving at the position, it stops and waits, and feeds back the signal and status to the system. At the same time, after receiving the unloading task, the unloading car feeds back its own position to the system, and automatically moves to the connection point of the current track. After arriving at the connection point, it stops and waits, and feeds back the signal and status to the system. When the transfer car and the unloading car are in place, the system sends a boarding instruction to the unloading car. After receiving the command, the unloading car automatically moves to the transfer car, stops after arriving, and feeds back the signal. The transfer car automatically moves to the track with the discharging task and stops when it is in place. The discharging car performs the discharging task. After getting off the car, the transfer car enters the standby state and can perform other docking tasks of the system. The discharging car runs automatically and finds the sauce vat that needs to be discharged according to the radio frequency positioning signal. After it is in place, the discharging car automatically opens the lid of the sauce vat, the suction head descends and extends into the sauce vat. After the suction is completed, the suction head retracts to its original position and automatically covers the vat cover. If there are subsequent work tasks, repeat the above steps. If there are no work tasks, it automatically returns to the track docking point, and feedbacks the work task completion signal, waiting for the transfer car to dock, and automatically returns to the standby position or charging position for charging.

[0052] During the execution of the above-mentioned feeding, turning or unloading tasks, if it is necessary to reach a drying yard with a different height difference, the task execution equipment is transported to the yard by an elevator, and then the track switching is performed by a track switching vehicle.

[0053] In the above, before mobilizing the task execution equipment, it is necessary to judge the current status of the task execution equipment. If the task execution equipment is in operation or failure state, it is re-judged after the interval T1, wherein T1 can be set according to the actual situation.

[0054] In the above, before controlling the scheduling device, it is necessary to determine whether the scheduling device is in an idle state. If not, re-determine after an interval of time T2 until it is in an idle state, wherein T2 can be set according to actual conditions.

[0055] In the above, the several feeding tasks, turning tasks and discharging tasks can be customized with execution priority, which is used to arrange them according to the actual production situation and progress to ensure production efficiency and stability.
