[0036] 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.

[0037] The present invention is applicable to the application scenario of adjusting the shelves in the warehouse to facilitate the workers to enter and exit and store and retrieve goods. For example, workers use forklifts to store and retrieve goods between shelves in small and medium-sized warehouses. An embodiment of the present invention provides a shelf adjustment method, which achieves the effect of facilitating the storage and retrieval of goods and improving the utilization rate of warehouse space by dynamically adjusting the shelves.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for adjusting a shelf 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.

[0039] In this embodiment, a shelf adjustment method is provided, which can be used in a mobile terminal of a dynamic shelf system, such as a computer, etc. Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for adjusting a shelf according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S101, obtaining the attribute characteristics and access frequency of the goods, the spatial layout of the warehouse, and the current position and current layout of the shelves.

[0041] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of shelves are pre-deployed in the warehouse, and the structure of the shelf is mainly composed of a back plate, a layer plate, a crossbeam and a column. The back plate is the base of the shelf, which plays a supporting and fixing role; the layer plate is the load-bearing component of the top layer of the shelf, which can hold various goods and adjust the layer height; the crossbeam is an important supporting component of the shelf, connecting two back plates and the layer plate; the column is the most critical component of the shelf, fixing and supporting the entire shelf. Based on the above structure, each shelf contains multiple layers. In an embodiment of the present invention, a motor-driven movable device is added to the bottom of the shelf, and a motor-driven lifting device is added to each layer, so that the shelf can be moved and the layout can be adjusted.

[0042] In some optional implementations, a dynamic shelf system is constructed to uniformly control each shelf. Before placing the goods on the shelf, the system uniformly identifies and collects data on the goods through sensors (such as sensors for measuring weight, etc.) and cameras to determine the size, quantity, type, actual weight and other related information of the goods. After data collection, the system binds the relevant information to the corresponding RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag to track the goods in real time. At the same time, the access frequency of the goods is pre-determined by the staff. In order to adaptively place the goods, the embodiment of the present invention also needs to pre-determine the spatial layout of the warehouse and the current position and current layout of the shelves in the warehouse, wherein the spatial layout of the warehouse includes the length, width and height information of the warehouse, the location of obstacles in the warehouse, etc., and the height information also needs to consider the space occupied by lighting equipment, ventilation systems, etc.

[0043] Step S102, determining the position adjustment information and layout adjustment information of the shelf according to the attribute characteristics, access frequency, space layout, current position and current layout.

[0044] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, a layout optimization model is pre-constructed in the dynamic shelf system to determine whether the position and layout of the shelf need to be adjusted based on the attribute characteristics and access frequency of the goods, the spatial layout of the warehouse, and the current position and current layout of the shelf. The model needs to consider the stability of the shelf when performing layout optimization, thereby minimizing the sum of the product of the access frequency and the handling time of all goods, which is equivalent to improving the efficiency of goods access and improving the utilization rate of warehouse space. Whenever new goods arrive, the dynamic shelf system obtains the attribute characteristics and access frequency of the goods, and then the layout optimization model determines whether a new layout adjustment is needed in real time, thereby determining the position adjustment information and layout adjustment information of the shelf that needs to be adjusted. The construction of the layout optimization model is a conventional technical means in this field and will not be repeated here.

[0045] Step S103, moving the shelf from the current position to the target position according to the position adjustment information, and adjusting the shelf from the current layout to the target layout according to the layout adjustment information.

[0046] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the shelf pre-deploys a motor-driven movable device and a lifting device as an actuator for layout adjustment. After determining the position adjustment information and layout adjustment information corresponding to the shelf to be adjusted, the system sends the relevant information to the actuator, and the actuator adjusts the shelf according to the command, including the motor-driven movable device to drive the shelf to move from the current position to the target position, and the motor-driven lifting device to adjust the height of the corresponding layer of the shelf, thereby adjusting the current layout to the target layout. The operator can place the corresponding goods according to the adjusted layout, for example, placing frequently accessed goods in an easily accessible location, and infrequently accessed goods can be placed in a farther location. The system can issue a prompt to the operator to place the goods according to the adjustment results, or the operator can flexibly place them, which is not limited here.

[0047] The shelf adjustment method provided by the present invention determines the position adjustment information and protective gear adjustment information corresponding to the shelf according to the attribute characteristics and access frequency of the goods, the spatial layout of the warehouse, and the current position and current layout of the shelf, moves the shelf from the current position to the target position, and adjusts the shelf from the current layout to the target layout. By acquiring relevant information of the goods, warehouse and shelf, the present invention can adaptively adjust the shelf, make the shelf more flexible and easy to expand, realize the storage of different goods, meet the diverse needs of users, and improve the space utilization rate of the warehouse.

[0048] In this embodiment, a shelf adjustment method is provided, which can be used in a mobile terminal of the above-mentioned dynamic shelf system, such as a computer, etc. Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for adjusting a shelf according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S201, obtain the attribute characteristics and access frequency of the goods, the spatial layout of the warehouse, and the current location and layout of the shelves. Figure 1 Step S101 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0050] Step S202, performing data verification on the attribute features.

[0051] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the accuracy of shelf position and layout adjustment, it is necessary to ensure that the relevant information obtained by the dynamic shelf system is accurate and reliable, especially the attribute characteristics of goods that need to be frequently stored and accessed. Figure 3 As shown, after obtaining the attribute characteristics related data such as the size, quantity, type and actual weight of the goods through sensors and cameras, data verification is performed to monitor the integrity and consistency of the data. Among them, the verification methods include the following three: ① The operator sets the threshold or expected range of the relevant data involved in the access to the goods in the dynamic shelf system in advance, and then the dynamic shelf system verifies whether the collected data is within the reasonable interval corresponding to the threshold or expected range, thereby verifying whether the data is correct; ② At the same time, multiple sensors are deployed to collect the same data, and the consistency of the sensing results of multiple sensors is compared. If the data returned by multiple sensors are inconsistent, the dynamic shelf system can identify possible errors; ③ For some key data, a manual review link can be set, especially when the automated dynamic shelf system cannot determine the accuracy of the data, manual intervention is performed for final confirmation. The present invention can ensure the accuracy of the acquired data by verifying the data related to the goods, thereby avoiding the situation where the goods cannot be smoothly accessed due to incorrect adjustments to the shelves.

[0052] In some optional implementations, under the existing shelf structure, if new goods arrive, the dynamic shelf system will also identify the new goods. Based on the identification results, the dynamic shelf system will analyze whether the shelf structure needs to be adjusted to adapt to the new goods storage requirements, thereby optimizing storage space utilization and improving access efficiency. The data is then uploaded to the dynamic shelf system. After the system automatically identifies the goods information, it will automatically bind this information to the corresponding RFID tag for real-time tracking of the goods.

[0053] Step S203, determine the shelf position adjustment information and layout adjustment information according to the attribute characteristics, access frequency, space layout, current position and current layout. Figure 1 Step S102 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0054] Step S204: Move the shelf from the current position to the target position according to the position adjustment information, and adjust the shelf from the current layout to the target layout according to the layout adjustment information. Figure 1 Step S103 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0055] The shelf adjustment method provided by the present invention determines the position adjustment information and protective gear adjustment information corresponding to the shelf according to the attribute characteristics and access frequency of the goods, the spatial layout of the warehouse, and the current position and current layout of the shelf, moves the shelf from the current position to the target position, and adjusts the shelf from the current layout to the target layout. By acquiring relevant information of the goods, warehouse and shelf, the present invention can adaptively adjust the shelf, make the shelf more flexible and easy to expand, realize the storage of different goods, meet the diverse needs of users, and improve the space utilization rate of the warehouse.

[0056] In this embodiment, a shelf adjustment method is provided, which can be used in a mobile terminal of the above-mentioned dynamic shelf system, such as a computer, etc. Figure 4 is a flow chart of a method for adjusting a shelf according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0057] Step S401, obtain the attribute characteristics and access frequency of the goods, the spatial layout of the warehouse, and the current location and layout of the shelves. Figure 2 Step S201 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0058] Step S402, determining the position adjustment information and layout adjustment information of the shelf according to the attribute characteristics, access frequency, space layout, current position and current layout.

[0059] Specifically, the above step S4021 includes:

[0060] Step S4021, determining the moving direction of the shelf according to the access frequency and the spatial layout.

[0061] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the moving direction of the shelf is determined by the access frequency of the goods and the spatial layout of the warehouse. The layout optimization model can determine the required adjustment of the moving direction of the shelf according to the set access frequency and the spatial layout of the warehouse. For example, goods that are frequently accessed should be placed in an easily accessible location, while goods that are infrequently accessed can be placed in a farther location. By adjusting the position of the shelf according to the moving direction, the corresponding position is vacated for convenient placement of goods.

[0062] Step S4022, determining the moving distance of the shelf according to the size and actual weight of the goods.

[0063] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the moving distance of the shelf can be determined by calculating the volume weight and actual weight of the goods. Among them, volume weight is a method for calculating the weight of light-weight goods in the transportation industry. The volume of the goods is converted into weight using a conversion formula, so that when the volume of the goods is large and the weight is small, the volume weight is charged. There are many specific calculation formulas, and the common calculation formulas are as follows:

[0064] Volume weight calculation formula = length cm × width cm × height cm / 5000

[0065] Volume weight calculation formula = length cm × width cm × height cm / 8000

[0066] In actual applications, when the volumetric weight converted from the volume of the goods is greater than the actual weight, it is usually charged according to the volumetric weight; otherwise, it is charged according to the actual weight. This calculation method is particularly common in logistics and foreign trade, especially in centralized consignment, a batch of goods may contain light bulky goods and heavy goods, and the billing weight is usually the larger value of the total gross weight and the total volume converted weight. The layout optimization model of the embodiment of the present invention also determines the volumetric weight of the goods according to the size of the goods, selects the larger weight between the actual weight and the volumetric weight, and determines the moving distance according to the larger weight, so as to ensure the stability of the shelf during the movement process, free up the operating space for the operator to reorganize, and facilitate the passage of forklifts. By determining the moving direction and moving distance of the shelf, the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the position of the shelf, move the shelf to a position that is convenient for staff to enter and exit and for goods to store and access, shorten the cargo handling time, and improve storage efficiency.

[0067] Step S4023, determining the shelf height of the shelf according to the size of the goods and the access frequency.

[0068] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the determination of the shelf height needs to take into account the height and access frequency of the goods. The layout optimization model can determine the shelf height according to the size of the goods and the access frequency. For example, taller goods should be placed on lower layers, while shorter goods can be placed on higher layers, or goods that are frequently accessed should be placed on lower layers to reduce access time. This is only an example and is not limited to this.

[0069] Step S4024, determining the shelf height of the shelf according to the spatial layout and the shelf layer height.

[0070] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the total height of the shelf can be determined by measuring the effective height of the warehouse and subtracting the space that may be occupied by lighting equipment, ventilation systems, etc., so as to avoid the situation where the total height of the shelf exceeds the effective height of the warehouse after adjusting the different layer heights, causing damage to the lighting equipment or ventilation systems, etc. Furthermore, the layout optimization model can determine the number of layers of the shelf according to the size of the goods and the layer height of the shelf. By determining the overall height, layer height and number of layers of the shelf, the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the shelf to a layout mode that is convenient for the storage and access of goods, further shorten the storage and access time of goods, and improve the space utilization rate of the warehouse.

[0071] Step S403, moving the shelf from the current position to the target position according to the position adjustment information, and adjusting the shelf from the current layout to the target layout according to the layout adjustment information.

[0072] Specifically, the above step S403 includes:

[0073] Step S4031, controlling the movable device of the shelf to move according to the position adjustment information, from the current position to the target position.

[0074] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, there is a movable chassis for carrying the shelf at the bottom of the shelf. The shelf chassis is driven by a motor as a movable device. After the dynamic shelf system determines the layout plan, it issues a task to the motor, so that the corresponding shelf moves a corresponding distance in the corresponding direction under the drive of the motor, and moves the shelf from the current position to the target position. The change of the shelf position will generate a new aisle that meets the requirements of forklift pickup, optimizing space utilization; at the same time, the space freed up by the change of the shelf position is also convenient for manual inspection of the shelf structure.

[0075] Step S4032, controlling the lifting device of the shelf to lift and lower according to the layout adjustment information, and adjusting the current layout to the target layout.

[0076] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, each shelf has a lifting device to change the shelf height. According to the task issued by the dynamic shelf system, the lifting device is driven by a motor to lift and lower, change the shelf height, so that the shelf height meets the size of the stored goods and improves space utilization. The present invention can automatically adjust the shelf by deploying a movable device and a lifting device for the shelf, move the shelf to the target position, and adjust it to the target layout, so as to facilitate the staff to enter and exit and store and retrieve goods, and improve the efficiency of goods storage and retrieval and the utilization of warehouse space.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the embodiment of the present invention will also adjust the layout of the shelves regularly or according to specific trigger conditions (such as changes in the storage volume of goods, changes in shelf utilization, etc.). After the adjustment, the system will continue to collect relevant data for real-time tracking and model optimization, such as by collecting system operation data and feedback information from operators to monitor the storage and retrieval efficiency of goods, as well as the use of shelves. The model itself or professionals will evaluate the adjustment effect based on relevant data, and continuously optimize the algorithms and strategies of the layout optimization model through a continuous learning mechanism to ensure that the shelf layout always meets the storage requirements. Therefore, by continuously receiving new data, the system can perform cyclic data analysis and shelf layout optimization, realize the storage of different goods, meet the diverse needs of users, and improve the storage and retrieval efficiency of goods and the utilization rate of warehouse space. In addition, the dynamic shelf system is regularly maintained and upgraded to ensure the advancement of technology and the stability of the system.
