[0002] With the rapid development of the flower industry, the demand for flower logistics and warehousing is growing. Traditional flower logistics and warehousing methods have many problems, such as inaccurate flower grading, high flower damage rate during transportation, and low storage management efficiency. These problems not only affect the quality and selling price of flowers, but also increase storage and logistics costs. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an efficient and intelligent flower logistics and warehousing system.

[0003] Although there are some flower logistics and warehousing systems on the current market, most of them are still at the level of simple storage and transportation, lacking intelligent grading, detection and management functions. In addition, the specifications of flower containers are not uniform, which also brings great inconvenience to transportation and warehousing. Therefore, a system that can solve these problems and realize intelligent and standardized flower logistics and warehousing is needed. Summary of the invention

[0013] (2) By configuring grading equipment in the sorting area, the system can accurately grade flowers according to preset parameters, improving the accuracy of flower grading, thereby helping to achieve more reasonable pricing and sales strategies. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments: Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a flower logistics storage system according to the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments: Combination Figure 1 As shown, a flower logistics warehousing system includes three main parts, namely, a storage area set at the front end for receiving flowers, a storage area for storing flowers, and a delivery area for delivering specific flowers according to order information.

[0016] An entry conveyor line is provided to connect the entry area and the storage area, and the flowers received in the entry area will be transported to the subsequent workstations along the entry conveyor line. A sorting area is provided at the beginning of the entry conveyor line. In this embodiment, the sorting area is provided as a plurality of parallel branch line structures, and a grading device is provided in any sorting area. The grading device divides the multiple bunches of flowers passing through the grading device into different grades according to preset parameters (such as the color of the flowers, the extension of the branches, or the luxuriance of the branches and leaves), corresponding to different selling prices.

[0017] Furthermore, labeling equipment can be embedded in the sorting area to label the graded flowers differently, so that the information of the flowers can be entered into the system to locate the flowers in the storage area.

[0018] In addition, the flowers received in the storage area often have flower pots of different specifications and shapes, and such non-uniform containers will affect the operation of the flowers on the conveyor line. Therefore, when the flowers enter the storage conveyor line, they will be placed in a standard container, which uses a flower frame with a fixed size.

[0019] After the flowers are placed in the standard container, they will enter the size detection area, which is equipped with a size detection device, which can use a grating ruler. The size detection device measures the size of the flowers and compares it with the preset standard. If the size of the flowers is large, on the one hand, it is easy to cause the standard container to deform, and on the other hand, it is not easy to put it into the storage area. Therefore, for flowers whose size exceeds the requirements, there will be operators configured next to the storage conveyor line to trim the excess part. The trimmed flowers will enter the second detection end of the size detection equipment along the storage conveyor line for re-inspection, and the flowers that pass the re-inspection will be sent to the storage area.

[0020] There are multiple rows of shelves in the storage area, and stackers are installed near the shelves. The stackers store the flowers transported from the warehouse conveyor line on the shelves.

[0021] When an order is received, the ordered flowers will enter the outbound process. At this time, the system performs two actions at the same time: one is that the flowers enter the outbound area from the storage area along the outbound conveyor line, and the other is that the standard containers are separated from the flowers and flow back into the shelves.

[0022] After the standard container is loaded with flowers, the soil mixed with the culture fluid on the flowers will remain in the standard container. Therefore, when the standard container is returned to the shelf, the inside of the standard container needs to be cleaned. Therefore, a cleaning station is set on the return conveyor line connecting the outbound conveyor line and the storage area. The cleaning station is equipped with an automatic cleaning machine, which includes a water collection tank, a slag cleaning machine and a sewage pipe. The automatic cleaning machine cleans and flushes the standard container to clean the standard container that is about to be returned to the shelf.

[0023] The standard containers for flowers to be stored in the warehouse that are carried onto the warehouse conveyor line mentioned above are the standard containers that are returned to the shelves after cleaning.

[0024] Specifically, the standard container enters the sorting area from the storage area through the container supply conveyor line connecting the storage area and the storage conveyor line. When the flowers are in the storage state, culture solution is required to ensure the normal growth of the flowers. Therefore, a filling station is set on the container supply conveyor line, and an automatic filling machine is configured in the filling station. When the cleaned standard container enters the sorting area from the storage area, it passes through the filling station, and the automatic filling machine fills the standard container with culture solution. The standard container filled with culture solution is used to load flowers to be stored and in the storage state.

[0025] When working: 1. Flowers are received in the incoming area and placed in standard containers to ensure delivery consistency.

[0026] 2. Flowers enter the sorting area through the storage conveyor line, and are classified into different grades according to preset parameters by grading equipment.

[0027] 3. The graded flowers enter the size inspection area, where they are inspected and trimmed until they meet the required size requirements and are sent to the storage area.

[0028] 4. After receiving the order, the ordered flowers enter the outbound process, and the standard containers are returned and cleaned simultaneously.

[0029] 5. When the warehousing area receives new flowers, the standard containers after return flow enter the sorting area to prepare to carry flowers. During this period, they pass through the filling station and are filled with culture solution by an automatic filling machine to ensure the normal growth of flowers in the storage state.

[0030] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is limited by the attached claims rather than the above description, and it is intended to include all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present invention.
