Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of warehousing and logistics, and in particular to a method for quickly and automatically creating a cigarette package path animation of a warehousing and logistics sorting line based on 3dsMax script technology. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of the modern economic system, the warehousing and logistics industry is responsible for the effective connection from production to consumption. Especially in the tobacco industry, the efficient, safe and precise operation of the warehousing and logistics sorting line plays a key role in ensuring product quality and improving market response speed. Tobacco warehousing and logistics not only designs the storage, sorting and distribution of a large number of goods, but also requires precise planning of the transportation path of cigarette packages to ensure the smoothness and efficiency of the logistics process.

[0003] In the practice of warehousing and logistics, the planning and management of the cigarette pack sorting line path has a decisive impact on the efficiency and cost control of the entire logistics system. In order to better show the flow state of cigarette packs in the sorting line, making animated video display has become an intuitive and effective means. Through the animated video, the transportation path of the cigarette pack, the interference of the cigarette pack, the operation status of the logistics equipment and the bottleneck problems in the logistics process can be clearly displayed, providing decision support for logistics management designers. As a professional 3D animation production software, 3dsMax is increasingly widely used in the field of logistics with its powerful modeling, rendering and animation functions. It can help users quickly build highly realistic logistics scene models, simulate the actual operation of logistics equipment, and display the logistics process through animation. In tobacco warehousing and logistics, using 3dsMax to make an animated video of the cigarette pack conveying path can intuitively show the operation status of the cigarette pack conveying system. Through realistic 3D scene simulation and the transportation of cigarette packs, it can help provide intuitive and visual decision support.

[0004] In the prior art, the path animation of the cigarette pack sorting line in 3dsMax needs to be manually set with keyframes, which is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. In addition, the animation parameters are precisely controlled, and there is easy to be model collision interference, which is difficult to display intuitively. It is impossible to accurately modify the interference area, resulting in poor animation effect. Under the premise of ensuring the quality of the animation, it is impossible to achieve fast and automatic simulation of the cigarette pack path animation. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for quickly and automatically creating cigarette pack path animation for a warehousing logistics sorting line based on 3dsMax scripting technology, in order to address the problems of complicated production steps for cigarette pack conveying path animation, high consumption of manpower and energy, long production cycle, inability to accurately control animation parameters, inability to visualize interference detection, and low effect quality, thereby reducing production steps, reducing loss costs, shortening production cycle, visualizing interference areas, and accurately controlling animation parameters, thereby realizing fast and automatic simulation of cigarette pack path animation.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A method for quickly and automatically creating a cigarette package path animation for a warehouse logistics sorting line based on 3dsMax scripting technology includes the following steps: In 3dsMax, according to the equipment layout in the drawing, accurately build the 3D model of the cigarette pack sorting line, set the texture material parameters, and simulate the scene realistically; Preset the cigarette pack conveying path trajectory, switch the line mode, and accurately draw the path line; According to the scene requirements, select cigarette pack models and path lines of different specifications, and use the script to automatically bind the cigarette packs and motion paths to associate their spatial positions and motion parameter attributes: Set the number of cigarette packs, speed and position parameters in the path animation, and construct the path animation script function; Build a script visualization plug-in based on the maxscript language, run and compile the interference detection script; and obtain the scene model and convert it into a polygon mesh.

[0008] ; If the conditions in the function are met, there is no interference in the model; if the conditions in the function are not met, there is interference in the model; the interference area is displayed in red and rendered as a picture; Set rendering parameters and select output path; Complete the rapid and automatic simulation of cigarette pack paths in the warehouse logistics sorting line.

[0009] Furthermore, the script function is: ; Among them, speed is the speed of the cigarette pack, F is the number of timeline frames, curveLength CL is the path length, countyb is the number of cigarette packs, i is the current cigarette pack number, and randpy is the offset parameter in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0010] Furthermore, the parameters in the script function are automatically assigned through visualization of the plug-in, which can realize the movement of the cigarette pack along a curved path, and can control the direction, speed, offset and number of cigarette packs.

[0011] Furthermore, the rendering parameters include renderer type, video size, video quality and lighting parameters.

[0012] Furthermore, the selecting of the output path includes setting the output format type to MP4 or AVI video file according to requirements.

[0013] Further, the setting of the Polygon Mesh interference detection function includes the following steps: Optimize the number, speed, and position parameters of the cigarette packs, and adjust the path lines until interference is eliminated, making the cigarette pack animation smoother.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: A method for quickly and automatically creating cigarette package path animations for a warehouse logistics sorting line based on 3dsMax scripting technology can simplify the production process and shorten the animation production cycle compared to existing technologies; reduce losses, cut costs and improve efficiency; perform visual detection of collision interference, intuitively view interference areas, and quickly and accurately modify models; accurately control animation parameters and perform rapid and automatic simulation; and improve design efficiency by 50%-60%.
