[0002] Due to the rapid development of society, users have higher and higher requirements for the quality of the adhesive products they purchase, and they are also pursuing more product diversity, so adhesive products have begun to gradually change from the original single to diversified. Production has also evolved from the previous single production to a diversified production model with more small materials, more formulas, and more batches. Under the diversified production model, the products produced are also diverse, meeting the market's demand for product diversification, but this diversified production model has the following problems: product quality problems occur from time to time, and the quality of the same batch of products is inconsistent. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a batching equipment, a batching system and a method to improve the product quality problems existing in the current diversified production model and the problem of inconsistent quality of the same batch of products.

[0004] The embodiment of the present application is implemented as follows: In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a batching equipment, including: a batching tank, a collection module and a controller; the batching tank has multiple small material feed ports, each of which is provided with a valve, and each of the small material feed ports is used to plug in a small material container; the collection module is used to collect material information of each of the small material containers; the controller is connected to the collection module and the valve of each of the small material feed ports, and the controller is used to control the valves of each of the small material feed ports to open for adding materials according to the task work order and the material information of each of the small material containers and the order of adding small materials in the task work order.

[0005] In the above embodiment, by setting a plurality of small material feed ports on the batching tank for plugging in different small material containers, and by using the controller according to the task work order and the material information of each small material container, the feeding sequence of each small material can be accurately controlled to ensure that each step of feeding is carried out according to the predetermined process flow, thereby improving the quality and consistency of the product; and controlling the feeding sequence by the controller can reduce human operating errors, thereby improving the consistency of quality between product batches; in addition, the waiting and stagnation time during the feeding process can be reduced, the production efficiency can be improved, and the stability of product quality can be maintained.

[0006] In combination with a possible implementation manner of the first aspect embodiment, the controller is specifically used to control the valve of the small material feed port corresponding to the identification of the small material to be added in each stage in the task work order to open for adding material after acquiring the material information of all small material containers.

[0007] In the above embodiment, after obtaining the material information of all small material containers, the controller controls the valve of the corresponding small material feed port to open for adding materials according to the identification of the small materials to be added in each stage. It can accurately control the order of adding each small material to ensure that it is carried out in accordance with the process requirements, thereby improving the quality and consistency of the product; it can also save the time of adding control and improve production efficiency.

[0008] In combination with a possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the first aspect, the controller is specifically used to compare the material information of the small material container with the identification of the small material to be added in the current stage in the task work order each time the material information of the small material container is obtained; when the comparison is consistent, a prompt is given to allow adding material, and the valve of the small material feed port corresponding to the identification of the small material to be added in the current stage is controlled to open for adding material; and / or, when the comparison is inconsistent, a prompt is given to replace the small material.

[0009] In the above embodiment, each time the material information of the small material container is obtained, the controller will compare the material information of the small material container with the identification of the small material to be added in the current stage in the task work order. When the comparison is consistent, it will prompt to allow the addition of materials and control the valve of the corresponding small material feed port to open for addition; when the comparison is inconsistent, it will prompt to replace the small material. The advantage of this is that it can be flexibly adjusted according to production needs, adapt to materials of different types and specifications, and enhance the adaptability of the production line; and it can also ensure that each addition is carried out strictly in accordance with the predetermined formula and sequence, thereby improving the consistency and quality of the product; it can also reduce human operating errors and improve production accuracy.

[0010] In combination with a possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the first aspect, the batching equipment also includes: a weighing module connected to the controller, the weighing module is used to detect a first weight of a target material added to the batching tank; the controller is also used to obtain the first weight detected by the weighing module, and perform a material addition verification based on the first weight and the weight of the target material in the task work order; if the material addition verification passes, a prompt is given to allow subsequent processes to proceed.

[0011] In the above embodiment, the batching equipment is also provided with a weighing module. After each feeding, the first weight of the added material is detected, and the first weight of the material is compared with the weight of the corresponding target material on the task work order for feeding verification. Only when the feeding verification is passed, the subsequent process is allowed. The advantage of this is to ensure that the amount of material added each time is accurate and meets the requirements of the task work order, thereby improving the consistency and quality of the product; and by real-time monitoring of the amount of material added, problems that may affect product quality can be discovered and corrected in a timely manner, thereby improving product quality; it can also reduce errors in manual measurement and recording, improve the accuracy of the production process, and reduce the time for manual inspection and adjustment, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0012] In combination with a possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the first aspect, the material information corresponding to the target material includes the initial weight of the target material; the controller is also used to obtain a second weight obtained by weighing the small material container twice after unloading the target material, and perform material re-inspection based on the second weight and the initial weight of the target material; if the re-inspection passes, a prompt is given to allow subsequent processes to proceed. In the above embodiment, not only the first weight of the added material and the weight of the corresponding target material on the task work order are checked, but also the second weight of the small material container after unloading and the initial weight of the target material are checked. Only when the re-check is passed, the subsequent process is allowed. The advantage of doing this is that through two weight checks, the accuracy of the weight check is improved, ensuring that the amount of added material meets expectations, reducing the problem of missing or excessive materials caused by human factors, and improving the consistency and quality of the product; it also reduces material waste, optimizes resource allocation, and reduces production costs; it also reduces the time for manual inspection and adjustment, and improves production efficiency.

[0014] In the above embodiment, by setting a near-field communication chip or scanning code in each small material container and setting a near-field communication chip reader or scanning gun in the corresponding acquisition module, the batching equipment can automatically collect material information, reduce manpower, reduce product production costs, and improve productivity; it can also reduce manual operation errors, improve the accuracy of collected data, and thus improve product quality.

[0015] In combination with a possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the first aspect, each of the small material feed ports has a first fool-proof structure, and the first fool-proof structure matches the second fool-proof structure of the corresponding small material container.

[0016] In the above embodiment, by setting a first anti-foolproof structure at each small material feed port and a second anti-foolproof structure at each small material container, the first anti-foolproof structure and the second anti-foolproof structure correspond one to one, which can ensure that the small material container is placed correctly, reduce incorrect assembly due to misplacement, improve the accuracy of assembly, and then improve the accuracy of adding small materials, thereby improving the quality of the product; it also reduces the dependence on the skills of the operator, so that non-professionals can also operate correctly, improving the convenience of operation; in addition, it can also effectively avoid confusion and incorrect use of similar small materials, and ensure the correctness of the small materials.

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The following embodiments can be used as examples to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the following embodiments and embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0033] It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, so once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. At the same time, in the description of this application, relational terms such as "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprise", "include" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0034] Furthermore, the term "and / or" in this application is merely a term used to describe the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0035] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the technical term "connection" may refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0036] The present application embodiment provides a batching system. In one implementation mode, Figure 1 As shown, the batching system includes a batching device and a small material container, and the small material container is connected to the batching device through a small material feed port on the batching device. Different small materials can be added to the batching device by plugging different small material containers to meet various production needs.

[0037] Among them, small ingredients refer to auxiliary materials or additives used in the production process, such as pigments, reinforcing agents, etc. The materials mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be small ingredients.

[0038] In one implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the batching system includes batching equipment and a server, and the server is connected to the batching equipment and can communicate with each other. The server is used to issue a task work order to the batching equipment to guide the batching equipment to work according to the task work order.

[0039] In one implementation, the batching system includes a batching device, a small ingredient container, and a server, and the server is connected to the batching device and can communicate with each other. In one embodiment, the batching device is used to batch a plurality of small ingredients. In one embodiment, the batching device can also be used to stir the ingredients, and in this case, the batching device can be a stirring device.

[0040] An embodiment of the present application also provides a batching equipment in the above embodiment, which can accurately control the addition of each small material according to the addition order on the task work order, ensuring that each step of adding is carried out according to the predetermined process flow, reducing human operation errors, and thereby improving product quality and the consistency of product quality between batches.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the batching equipment includes a batching tank; the batching tank has multiple small material feed ports, each of which is provided with a valve. The small material feed port can be provided above or on the side of the tank body of the batching tank. The small material feed port can be in the shape of a fan, an ear, a circular ring, etc. The valve can be a ball valve, a plug valve, a butterfly valve, etc.

[0042] Each small material feed port is used to plug in a small material container. The small material feed port can be a universal feed port, and one small material feed port can match multiple small material containers. In one embodiment, the small material feed port can be a dedicated small material feed port, and the sizes of different small material feed ports are different. In some other embodiments, the sizes of multiple small material feed ports can be all the same or partially the same.

[0043] In some embodiments, each small material feed port can be a feed port with a fool-proof structure (which can be called a first fool-proof structure). Correspondingly, a matching fool-proof structure (which can be called a second fool-proof structure) can also be set on the small material container. For example, each feed port has a first fool-proof structure, and the first fool-proof structure matches the second fool-proof structure of the corresponding small material container. In this embodiment, each small material feed port is only allowed to be plugged into a feeding container with matching fool-proof structures. By setting the fool-proof structure, it can ensure that the small material container is placed correctly, reduce incorrect assembly caused by misplacement, improve the accuracy of assembly, and then improve the accuracy of added materials and improve the quality of the product.

[0044] Among them, the foolproofing structure can be implemented by foolproofing the size of the small material feed port and foolproofing the connection method. Foolproofing the size of the small material feed port refers to designing the size of the small material feed port so that only raw materials that meet a specific size or shape can pass through the small material feed port. This design can prevent the wrong material from being added to the batching tank, or ensure that the material is added in the correct direction and manner. Foolproofing the connection method refers to setting a connection mechanism for the small material feed port to ensure that only correctly connected components can be connected to the batching tank. At this time, the foolproofing structure can use specific interfaces or connectors that can only be correctly connected in one way, thereby preventing incorrect connection methods.

[0045] The above-mentioned small material container is used to hold the materials required for production. In one embodiment, the small material container is only a simple container for holding materials. In one embodiment, the small material container may also include a feeding booster. The feeding booster may include a motor, a hydraulic cylinder, a syringe, etc. In this embodiment, the feeding booster may be used to add the materials in the small material container to the batching tank. For example, the feeding booster includes a syringe, and the materials in the small material container may be added to the batching tank manually by pushing the syringe handle.

[0046] The materials in the small material container can be configured in the material preparation station. After the configuration is completed, the small material container is promptly transported to the batching equipment by manual labor, unmanned vehicles, etc. After the small material container is transported to the batching equipment, it can be plugged into the feed port of the batching tank by manual labor, robotic arms, etc.

[0047] Among them, the material preparation station can be classified according to material type and measurement range, for example: (a) liquid a, 1000cps (where cps represents the unit of viscosity), volume measurement range of 0.1-3L; (b) liquid a, 1000cps, weight measurement range of 3-20kg; (c) liquid b, 15000cps, weight measurement range of 1-3kg.

[0048] In one implementation mode, the server may also send the task work order to a material preparation station or to a user terminal. When preparing materials, workers may prepare materials according to the materials required in the task work order. Among them, a task work order refers to a document that records and tracks the execution steps of a specific task in detail, which is used to ensure that the work is performed in accordance with established standards and processes to ensure quality and efficiency. In one implementation, the task work order may include the material formula required for production and the required weight of each material. In one implementation, the task work order may also include the order of adding small materials (the identification of small materials to be added at each production stage), production operation steps, and feeding conditions that allow adding materials.

[0049] When the material preparation is completed, the material information of each small material container can be entered into the small material container, and the material can be added accurately later based on the obtained material information.

[0050] Among them, material information may include: material identification, material initial weight; in addition, material information may also include the capacity, specifications, and measurement method of the small material container, the name, category, and purpose of the material contained, and the batching equipment that matches the small material container.

[0051] In one implementation, the scanning code can be bound to the material information. In this implementation, each small material container is also provided with a scanning code, and the material information bound thereto can be obtained by scanning the scanning code through the acquisition module. The above scanning code is bound to the material information. The scanning code can be a one-dimensional barcode, a two-dimensional code, etc.

[0052] In one embodiment, each small material container may further include a near field communication chip, which may be used to store the material information. The material information corresponding thereto may be obtained by reading the near field communication chip through the acquisition module. The near field communication chip is a silicon component or integrated circuit that can realize wireless communication between two chips within a short distance.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the batching equipment also includes a collection module and a controller, wherein the controller is connected with the collection module and the valve of each small material feed port.

[0054] The collection module is used to collect material information of each small material container.

[0055] The acquisition module may acquire the material information of each small material container after the small material container is plugged into the small material feed port, or may acquire the material information of each small material container first and then plug the small material container into the small material feed port.

[0056] The material information of each small material container can be collected through a near-field communication chip reader or a barcode scanner. In one embodiment, each small material container includes a near-field communication chip, and the near-field communication chip stores the material information; in this case, the collection module includes a near-field communication chip reader, and the material information stored in the near-field communication chip on the small material container is read through the near-field communication chip reader.

[0057] In one implementation, a scanning code is provided on each small material container, wherein the scanning code is bound to the material information of the small material container, and the corresponding collection module includes a barcode scanning gun; at this time, the material information is collected by scanning the scanning code on the small material container with the barcode scanning gun.

[0058] The controller is used to control the valves of each small material feed port to open and add materials according to the order of adding small materials in the task work order and the material information of each small material container. The task work order also includes the order of adding small materials. For example, the task work order includes the identification of the small materials to be added in each stage. The identification can be a text identification, a symbol identification, a color identification, etc.; and the identification of each small material is unique. For example, the order of adding small materials in the task work order is: add small material A in the first stage; add small materials B and small material C in turn in the second stage; add small material D in the third stage.

[0059] Optionally, the controller may be a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Optionally, the controller may also be other types of controllers, such as a digital excitation controller, a servo controller, a microprocessor controller, etc.

[0060] In one implementation, when adding materials, the materials can be added after all small material containers of the materials required for production are inserted into the batching tank, or one material can be added each time a small material container is inserted.

[0061] In one implementation mode, after the small material containers of the materials required for production are plugged into the batching tank, the specific process of controlling the valves of each small material feed port to open for adding materials according to the order of adding small materials in the task work order is as follows: after obtaining the material information of all small material containers, according to the identification of the small materials to be added at each stage in the task work order, the valves of the small material feed ports corresponding to the identification of the small materials to be added are controlled to open for adding materials.

[0062] For example, the small materials required for production include small materials A, small materials B, small materials C, and small materials D. The order of adding small materials is to add small materials A in the first stage, add small materials B and small materials C in the second stage, and add small materials D in the third stage. After the small material containers corresponding to small materials A, B, C, and D are all plugged into the batching tank, the valve of the small material feed port corresponding to small material A is controlled to open according to the order of adding small materials in the task work order, and small material A is added. After small material A is added, the second stage of adding is carried out. At this time, if there is no order of adding between small materials B and small materials C, the valves of the small material feed ports corresponding to small materials B and small materials C are opened at the same time for adding. If there is a order of adding between small materials B and small materials C, the valves of the small material feed ports corresponding to small materials B and small materials C are opened in sequence according to the order of adding between small materials B and small materials C for adding. After small materials B and small materials C are added, the third stage of adding is carried out. The valve of the small material feed port corresponding to small material D is controlled to open, and small material D is added.

[0063] This feeding method can save time and improve production efficiency.

[0064] In one implementation mode, each time a small material container is plugged in, the specific process of controlling the valves of each small material feed port to open for adding material according to the order of adding small materials in the task work order is as follows: after each acquisition of the material information of the small material container, the material information of the small material container is compared with the identification of the small material to be added in the current stage in the task work order; when the comparison is consistent, a prompt is given to allow adding material, and the valves of the small material feed port corresponding to the identification of the small material to be added in the current stage are controlled to open for adding material; and / or, when the comparison is inconsistent, a prompt is given to replace the small material.

[0065] Continuing with the above example, if the identifier of the small material to be added in the current stage of the task work order is the identifier of small material A, and the material information of the small material container obtained is also the material information of small material A, then the material information of the small material container is consistent with the identifier of the small material to be added in the current stage of the task work order, and a prompt is given to allow the addition of materials, and the valve of the small material feed port corresponding to small material A is controlled to open for the addition of materials. If the identifier of the small material to be added in the current stage of the task work order is the identifier of small material A, and the material information of the small material container obtained is the material information of small material D, then the material information of the small material container is inconsistent with the identifier of the small material to be added in the current stage of the task work order, and a prompt is given to replace the small material. When replacing small materials, the small material container corresponding to small material A can be removed from the batching tank, or the small material container corresponding to small material A can continue to be plugged into the small material feed port on the batching tank.

[0066] This feeding method can be flexibly adjusted according to production needs, adapting to materials of different types and specifications, and enhancing the adaptability of the production line.

[0067] In one implementation, the task work order may further include feeding conditions that allow the addition of materials, and the feeding conditions may include environmental parameters during feeding.

[0068] The batching equipment also includes sensors, which are connected to the controller. Before the controller controls the valves of each small material feed port to add materials, it also needs to collect environmental parameters such as temperature, pressure, concentration, etc. through sensors. Only when the environmental parameters of the batching equipment meet the environmental parameters required for feeding can materials be added.

[0069] In one implementation, the task work order may also include the weight of the material.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, the batching equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes a weighing module connected to the controller. The weighing module is arranged on the batching tank. The weighing module is used to detect the first weight of the target material added to the batching tank; the controller is also used to obtain the first weight detected by the weighing module, and perform a feeding check according to the first weight and the weight of the target material in the task work order; if the feeding check passes, a prompt is given to allow the subsequent process to proceed. If the feeding check fails, a prompt is given to not allow the subsequent process to proceed.

[0071] Optionally, the subsequent process may be adding materials for the next stage, conducting material addition re-inspection, etc.

[0072] By setting up a weighing module, you can ensure that the amount of material added each time is accurate and meets the requirements of the task order, thereby improving the consistency and quality of the product; and by real-time monitoring of the amount of material added, you can promptly discover and correct problems that may affect product quality, thereby improving product quality.

[0073] In a possible implementation, after the material addition verification is passed, the material addition re-inspection can be performed. The specific process of the material addition re-inspection is: the controller is also used to obtain the second weight obtained by weighing the small material container after unloading the target material, and re-inspect the material addition based on the second weight and the initial weight of the target material; if the re-inspection is passed, a prompt is given to allow the subsequent process to proceed.

[0074] The second weight may be collected by a weighing device. The weighing device is connected to the controller, and the weighing device collects the second weight and sends it to the controller. The weighing device may include an identification module, a weighing module, and a display module. The identification module is used to identify the material information of the small material container; the weighing module is used for weighing; and the display module is used to display the material information of the small material container and the second weight of the small material container. In one embodiment, the weighing device may also include a moving device for moving the weighing device.

[0075] The material information corresponding to the target material includes the initial weight of the target material, and the initial weight includes the weight of the small material container and the weight of the material. Optionally, the subsequent process may be adding the next stage material, adding the next material in the material to be added in this stage, etc.

[0076] For example, during the re-inspection of adding materials, the weighing equipment weighs the small material container after unloading the target material to obtain the second weight, and sends the second weight to the controller. After obtaining the second weight, the controller subtracts the second weight from the initial weight of the target material to obtain the weight of the target material added to the batching tank, and then compares the weight of the target material added to the batching tank with the weight of the target material. If the comparison is consistent, the re-inspection is passed.

[0077] By performing two weight comparisons, the accuracy of weight verification is improved, ensuring that the amount of material added is in line with expectations, reducing the problem of missing or excess materials due to human factors, and improving product consistency and quality; it also reduces material waste, optimizes resource allocation, and reduces production costs.

[0078] The following example illustrates the process of adding materials. Take the example of adding one material each time a small material container is inserted. For example, after obtaining the material information of the small material container each time, compare the material information of the small material container with the identification of the small material to be added in the current stage in the task work order; when the comparison is consistent, collect the environmental parameters of the batching equipment to determine whether the collected environmental parameters meet the environmental parameters required for feeding. If they meet, control the valve of the small material feed port corresponding to the identification of the small material to be added to open for adding. After the addition is completed, perform a weight check (one weight check or two weight checks can be performed).

[0079] The batching device provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes an imaging device connected to the controller, such as Figure 6or Figure 7 As shown. The imaging device is used to monitor the feeding process. In one embodiment, the imaging device is also used to record the feeding process. For example, the real-time image of the feeding process, the working conditions of the operators, the working progress during the feeding process, etc. are recorded.

[0080] In one implementation, the imaging device may be a CCD (Charge Coupled Device). In one implementation, the imaging device may also be a camera. The imaging device may monitor whether feeding is performed, whether the input materials are correct, etc. The specific process of the imaging device monitoring feeding is as follows: the imaging device collects images during the feeding process and sends the images to the controller, which processes the images and determines whether feeding is performed, whether the input materials are correct, etc. In addition, a voice alarm is issued when feeding is not performed or the input materials are incorrect.

[0081] In one implementation, the batching device is provided with a voice module connected to the controller, and a voice alarm is performed through the voice module.

[0082] In one implementation, the imaging device has a voice prompt function. When the controller determines that the input material is wrong, the batching equipment is abnormal, etc., the imaging device receives the command issued by the controller and issues a voice alarm.

[0083] In addition, after production is completed, the controller is also used to generate output reports, yield reports, production cost and benefit analysis reports and other reports. By analyzing the data in the reports, the production process can be optimized, production costs can be reduced, and production efficiency can be improved.

[0084] The controller controls the valves of each small material feed port to open for feeding, including but not limited to boosting, gravity flow, self-priming of the batching tank, etc. In some embodiments, for materials with lower viscosity, gravity flow, self-priming of the batching tank, gravity flow + self-priming of the batching tank, boosting + gravity flow + self-priming of the batching tank can be used. In some other embodiments, for materials with higher viscosity, boosting, self-priming of the batching tank, boosting + gravity flow, boosting + self-priming of the batching tank, boosting + gravity flow + self-priming of the batching tank can be used. Among them, boosting can be boosted by using a feeding boosting device such as a motor, a hydraulic cylinder, and a syringe.

[0085] like Figure 8 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a batching method, which is applied to a batching device, wherein the batching tank of the batching device has multiple small material feed ports, each of which is provided with a valve, and each small material feed port is used to plug in a small material container. The method comprises the following steps: Step S800: Obtain material information of each small material container.

[0086] In one possible implementation, each small material container includes a near field communication chip, and material information is stored in the near field communication chip; the acquisition module includes a near field communication chip reader; and the material information of each small material container is acquired through the near field communication chip reader.

[0087] In a possible implementation manner, a scanning code is provided on each small material container, and the acquisition module includes a barcode scanning gun; the material information of each small material container is obtained by the barcode scanning gun.

[0088] Step S900: According to the task work order and the material information of each small material container, the valves of each small material feed port are controlled to open and add materials according to the order of adding small materials in the task work order.

[0089] In one possible implementation, after obtaining the material information of all small material containers, according to the identification of the small material to be added at each stage in the task work order, the valve of the small material feed port corresponding to the identification of the small material to be added is controlled to open for adding.

[0090] In one possible implementation, each time the material information of the small material container is obtained, the material information of the small material container is compared with the identification of the small material to be added in the current stage in the task work order; when the comparison is consistent, a prompt is given to allow the addition of material, and the valve of the small material feed port corresponding to the identification of the small material to be added in the current stage is controlled to open for the addition of material; and / or, when the comparison is inconsistent, a prompt is given to replace the small material.

[0091] In one possible implementation, the first weight of the target material added to the batching tank is obtained; and the material addition verification is performed based on the first weight and the weight of the target material in the task work order; if the material addition verification passes, a prompt is given to allow subsequent processes to proceed.

[0092] In this embodiment, the material information corresponding to the target material includes the initial weight of the target material, and the method further includes: obtaining a second weight obtained by weighing the small material container twice after unloading the target material, and re-inspecting the material based on the second weight and the initial weight of the target material; if the re-inspection passes, a prompt is given to allow the subsequent process to proceed.
