The flexible dispatching conveyor line process control method, device and terminal equipment can be applied not only to the production line of processed products, but also to the control of logistics transportation. In this embodiment, the flexible dispatching conveyor line process control method, device and terminal equipment are illustrated by taking the production line of processed products as an example.

[0063] Embodiment 1:

[0064] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the steps of the flexible scheduling conveyor line process control method described in an embodiment of the present application.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a flexible scheduling conveyor line process control method, comprising the following steps:

[0066] S1. Obtain the process processing data of the processing process where the pallet is located in the processing production conveyor line and obtain the process line configuration parameters of the processing process corresponding to the processed product from the warehouse management system.

[0067] It should be noted that in step S1, the data of the processing and production conveyor line is obtained, and the data includes process processing data and process line configuration parameters, which provide data for the precise control and diversion of subsequent processing procedures. In this embodiment, the process processing data at least includes equipment number, product type, production line number, pallet code information, product quantity, pallet code rules, process category, process status, gear and batch, and the process line configuration parameters at least include the current process, next process, product type, production line number, process category, process status, pallet status, pallet type, pallet code rules, gear and batch, etc. In other embodiments, the process processing data includes product processing parameters and processing process configuration parameters, and the product processing parameters include line number, equipment name, process number, equipment number, product type, pallet code, pallet code number, product code, product processing results, process status, remarks and processing time, etc. The processing procedure configuration parameters include equipment number, equipment name, product code, product type, site code, line body instability, whether it is the first process, whether it is the last process, whether it is full, entry modification, site type, pallet outbound, whether to send WMS, whether to leave the whole pallet, whether to enable, pallet code rule, product code rule, NG rule, process category, product quantity, mixed product status and mixed process status. The sequence line body configuration parameters include line body transformation, equipment number, line body name, dock, next dock, line body cache number, associated cache position, line body code, current process, next process, product code, pallet status, pallet type, pallet coding rule, process status, priority, line body type, process recipe number, batch, batch status, gear, gear status, Pack line body number, batch quantity, gear quantity and line body start status.

[0068] S2. Match and filter the process processing data with the process line configuration parameters to obtain multiple matching line paths, and obtain corresponding line configuration data from each line path. The line configuration data includes priority, cache bit and current remaining cache.

[0069] It should be noted that in step S2, the process processing data and process line configuration parameters obtained in step S1 are compared and matched one by one, and multiple line paths that meet all conditions (such as finding the same data in one-to-one comparison) and whose line startup status is enabled are found from the process processing data and the process line configuration parameters, and the corresponding line configuration data is obtained from the line path to provide analysis data for subsequent precise diversion control. In this embodiment, in the matching and screening of the flexible scheduling conveyor line process control method in step S2, if there is no line configuration data that meets the conditions, the processed products on the pallet will be intercepted. Among them, the line configuration data at least includes priority, cache bit, cache bit name, current cache, current remaining cache, current cache barcode, line enablement status and allocation time.

[0070] S3. All line configuration data are sorted using the cache priority principle to obtain a line path with the smallest cache bit and the closest distance, and the target point data is extracted from the line path.

[0071] It should be noted that in step S3, all the line configuration data obtained in step S2 are processed using the cache priority principle to obtain a line path with the smallest cache bit and the closest distance, thereby determining the target point data and providing a destination for subsequent precise control of diversion. In this embodiment, the flexible scheduling conveyor line process control method selects a line path with the smallest cache bit and the closest distance as the optimal line path through the sorting result of step S3, and extracts the path information (including the target point data) in the line configuration from the line path.

[0072] S4. Control the processing production conveyor line according to the target point data to transport the pallet to the next destination.

[0073] It should be noted that in step S4, the processing and production conveyor line is controlled to convey the pallet to the next destination according to the target point data obtained in step S3. In this embodiment, controlling the processing and production conveyor line to convey the pallet to the next destination according to the target point data includes: transmitting the target point data to a controller (such as a PLC device) that controls the operation of the processing and production conveyor line through a communication protocol (such as an S7 protocol), and the controller controls the pallet to move to the next destination on the processing and production conveyor line according to the target point data.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, when a processed product on a production line undergoes each processing step, the flexible scheduling conveyor line process control method is used to obtain the process processing data and the process line configuration parameters for one-to-one comparison and matching to obtain all the line configuration data that meet the matching conditions. If there are multiple line configuration data that meet the conditions for multiple line paths, all the line configuration data are sorted according to the cache priority principle to find the line path with the smallest cache and the closest distance, and the target point data in the line configuration data in the line path is extracted and sent to the controller of the processing and production conveyor line through the S7 protocol. The controller of the processing and production conveyor line controls the pallet to be transported to the destination, thereby achieving precise control and diversion of the product.

[0075] The present application provides a flexible scheduling conveyor line process control method, including obtaining process processing data of the processing process where the pallet is located in the processing production conveyor line and obtaining the process line configuration parameters of the processing process corresponding to the processing product from the warehouse management system; matching and screening the process processing data with the process line configuration parameters to obtain multiple matching line paths, and obtaining corresponding line configuration data from each line path, the line configuration data including priority, cache position and current remaining cache; sorting and processing all line configuration data using the cache priority principle to obtain a line path with the smallest cache position and the closest distance, and extracting target point data from the line path; controlling the processing production conveyor line according to the target point data to transport the pallet to the next destination. The flexible scheduling conveyor line process control method obtains the process processing data and the process line configuration parameters for one-by-one comparison and matching to obtain all the line configuration data that meet the matching conditions. If there are multiple line configuration data that meet the conditions for multiple line paths, all the line configuration data are sorted according to the cache priority principle, and the line path with the smallest cache and the closest distance is found. The target point data in the line configuration data in the line path is extracted, and the target point data is sent to the processing and production conveyor line and the pallet is controlled to be transported to the destination accordingly, thereby achieving precise control and diversion of the product; it solves the technical problem that the pallets in the existing workshop cannot be diverted in real time according to product information during the circulation of the conveyor line.

[0076] It should be noted that the flexible dispatching conveyor line process control method can be applied to the management system of the processing production line. The flexible dispatching conveyor line process control method provides a flexible configuration interface for the management system, and the process information, equipment destination and various limiting conditions of the conveyor line of the line management in the management system are configured and modified to meet the flexible configuration requirements in various scenarios.

The pallet information includes the pallet category, pallet code, etc.; the process information includes the process category and equipment number, etc. In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the processing information consisting of the equipment processing parameters and processing result data uploaded by the process equipment is received, and the entry and exit records are saved; the WMS saves the binding relationship between the pallet and the product and the processing information. The processing information includes at least the process number, product type, production line number, process status, gear, batch, etc.

[0097] Sorting all the line configuration data according to the current remaining cache of the line configuration data to obtain a first line configuration data set consisting of all the sorted line configuration data;

[0099] Sorting the line body configuration data corresponding to the same cache bit in the second line body configuration data set according to their priorities to obtain a sorted third line body configuration data set;

[0100] Sorting the line body configuration data corresponding to the same priority as those in the third line body configuration data set according to the allocation time to obtain a sorted fourth line body configuration data set;

[0101] The line body configuration data corresponding to the first ranking is extracted from the fourth line body configuration data set, and the line body path corresponding to the line body configuration data is used as the line body path with the smallest cache bit and the closest distance.

[0102] It should be noted that in the process of obtaining a line body path with the smallest cache bit and the closest distance, all line body configuration data are first sorted by the smallest cache bit, and then sorted from large to small according to the remaining number of cache bits to obtain the first line body configuration data set; secondly, the line body configuration data of the line body path corresponding to the remaining cache bit of 0 is eliminated in the first line body configuration data set to obtain the second line body configuration data set; then, the same cache bit is sorted twice in the second line body configuration data set according to the priority from small to large to obtain the third line body configuration data set; finally, in the third line body configuration data set, under the same priority, it is sorted three times from long to short according to the order of the most recent allocation time to obtain the fourth line body configuration data set. In the fourth line body configuration data set, the first line body path after sorting is extracted as the line body path with the smallest cache bit and the closest distance, also called the optimal line body path.
