[0001] The present invention relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a loading and unloading control device and method. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, in industrial production, loading and unloading management is usually carried out by setting priorities. However, this technology has problems in certain application scenarios. For example, after the pressurization of the pressurized tank is completed, when the stacker loads and unloads materials in sequence, some batteries may not be unloaded in time for a long time after the pressurization is completed, causing the batteries to be exposed to the air for a long time, which may cause overflow, moisture intrusion and other problems, thereby affecting the battery quality. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To this end, one object of the present invention is to propose a loading and unloading control device, which can ensure that the processed materials can be taken out from the material processing mechanism in time, effectively avoiding quality problems such as overflow and moisture intrusion caused by the materials remaining in the material processing mechanism for a long time after processing, thereby improving the overall quality and performance of the materials and ensuring the stability and reliability of the products.

[0005] To this end, a second objective of the present invention is to provide a material loading and unloading control method.

[0006] To this end, a third object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device.

[0007] To this end, a fourth object of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable storage medium.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention proposes a loading and unloading control device, comprising: a loading and unloading mechanism, which is used to obtain materials or put materials; multiple material processing mechanisms, which are suitable for receiving the materials put by the loading and unloading structure, and processing the materials put by the loading and unloading mechanism, and the multiple material processing mechanisms are suitable for outputting a processing end signal when the processing is completed; a controller, which is used to control the operating state of the loading and unloading mechanism, and receive multiple processing end signals output by multiple material processing mechanisms, and control the loading and unloading mechanism to unload the materials that have been processed in the corresponding material processing mechanisms in the order of receiving the multiple processing end signals.

[0009] According to the loading and unloading control device of the embodiment of the present invention, by controlling the unloading of the processed materials in the material processing mechanism in sequence according to the sequence of the received multiple processing completion signals, it can ensure that the processed materials can be taken out of the material processing mechanism in time, and effectively avoid the problem of the materials remaining in the material processing mechanism for a long time after the processing is completed. At the same time, it reduces the quality problems such as overflow and moisture intrusion caused by long-term exposure of the materials to the air, thereby improving the overall quality and performance of the materials and ensuring the stability and reliability of the products.

[0010] In addition, the loading and unloading control device according to the embodiment of the present invention may also have the following additional technical features: In some examples, the processing end signal includes identification information corresponding to each of the material processing mechanisms. Thus, which processing mechanism has completed the task can be accurately identified based on the identification information, so that after the controller receives the processing end signal, it can sort and manage the materials that have been processed based on the order in which the processing end signals are received.

[0011] In some examples, the controller is configured with a stack, and the controller is adapted to store the identification information of each material processing mechanism in the stack in a first-in-first-out manner when receiving the processing end signal, and to sequentially remove the corresponding identification information from the stack in the order in which the material processing mechanisms complete the unloading of materials when each material processing mechanism completes the unloading of materials. In this way, it can be ensured that the material processing mechanisms unload materials in the order in which the processing is completed, and the problem of materials being retained in the material processing mechanisms for a long time after the pressurization is completed can be avoided.

[0012] In some examples, the first-in-first-out method includes: storing the plurality of identification information in the stack from the top to the bottom of the stack in the order in which the plurality of processing completion signals are received, and removing the plurality of identification information from the top to the bottom of the stack when the number is removed. Thus, it can be ensured that the pressurized material can be taken out of the material processing mechanism in time, effectively avoiding the problem of the material being retained in the material processing mechanism for a long time after the pressurization is completed.

[0013] In some examples, the controller is also suitable for receiving stack modification instructions and modifying the contents of the stack based on the stack modification instructions; wherein the stack modification instructions include: a first instruction for indicating adjustment of the order of identification information within the stack, and / or a second instruction for indicating deletion of target identification information within the stack, and / or a third instruction for indicating insertion of target identification information at a target position in the stack.

In this way, the waiting time of the material on the loading and unloading mechanism is reduced, and the problem of material accumulation is avoided.

[0017] In some examples, when the operating state of the loading and unloading mechanism is controlled according to the material state of the loading and unloading mechanism, the controller is further used to: when the loading and unloading mechanism has the material and the material is not processed, control the loading and unloading mechanism to deliver the unprocessed material to the target material processing mechanism for processing, wherein the target material processing mechanism includes a material processing mechanism that currently has no material. Thus, it can be ensured that the material is delivered to the target material processing mechanism for processing in a timely manner at the right time.

[0018] In some examples, the controller is further used to: obtain the material status of the material processing mechanism, and control the operation status of the material processing mechanism according to the material status of the material processing mechanism, thereby ensuring that the material processing mechanism can continuously and efficiently perform processing operations.

[0019] In some examples, when controlling the operating state of the material processing mechanism according to the material state of the material processing mechanism, the controller is used to: when the material processing mechanism does not have the material, control the loading and unloading mechanism to load the material to the material processing mechanism. In this way, the production interruption problem caused by material shortage can be reduced to ensure the stable operation of the loading and unloading device.

[0020] In some examples, when controlling the loading and unloading mechanism to load the material processing mechanism, the controller is used to: obtain the arrangement order of the identification information of the plurality of material processing mechanisms; and control the loading and unloading mechanism to load the plurality of material processing mechanisms in sequence according to the arrangement order of the identification information of the plurality of material processing mechanisms. In this way, the accuracy of the processing sequence can be ensured and the efficiency can be improved.

[0021] In some examples, when controlling the operating state of the material processing mechanism according to the material state of the material processing mechanism, the controller is used to: when the material processing mechanism has material and the material has been processed, control the loading and unloading mechanism to unload the material from the material processing mechanism. In this way, the problem of the processed material being retained on the material processing mechanism can be avoided.

[0022] In some examples, when controlling the operating state of the material processing mechanism according to the material state of the material processing mechanism, the controller is used to: when the material processing mechanism has the material and the material has not been processed, control the material processing mechanism to process the material. In this way, the production interruption problem caused by material shortage can be reduced to ensure the stable operation of the loading and unloading device.

[0023] In some examples, the material includes a battery.

[0037] In order to be able to understand the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present invention in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present invention. In the following technical description, for the convenience of explanation, a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments is provided through multiple details. However, one or more embodiments can still be implemented without these details. In other cases, to simplify the drawings, well-known structures and devices can be simplified for display.

[0038] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 A material loading and unloading control device and method according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0039] Figure 1 is a structural block diagram of a loading and unloading control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a structural diagram of another loading and unloading control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein: Figure 2 The controller 130 is not shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the loading and unloading control device 100 mainly includes: a loading and unloading mechanism 110 , a plurality of material processing machines 120 and a controller 130 .

[0040] Among them, the loading and unloading mechanism is used to obtain materials or put materials.

[0041] Specifically, the loading and unloading control device 100 includes a loading and unloading mechanism 110, including but not limited to a stacker, which can obtain materials from a certain location (such as a material storage area) through a robotic arm, a conveyor belt, a suction cup or other automated means, and accurately place the processed materials to a designated location (such as a finished product storage area or the next process), that is, the loading and unloading mechanism 110 can be used to obtain materials or put materials.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the loading and unloading mechanism 110 is driven by a servo motor when working, and optionally, it can be an Omron servo motor.

[0043] The multiple material processing mechanisms 120 are suitable for receiving materials delivered by the loading and unloading structure 110 and processing the materials delivered by the loading and unloading structure 110. The multiple material processing mechanisms 120 are suitable for outputting a processing end signal when the processing is completed.

[0044] Specifically, the loading and unloading control device 100 also includes a plurality of material processing mechanisms 120, including but not limited to pressurized tanks, wherein each material processing mechanism 120 is responsible for receiving the material put in by the loading and unloading mechanism 110 and performing specific processing operations, including but not limited to pressurization operations. Furthermore, each material processing mechanism 120 can output a processing end signal after completing the processing, indicating that the material has been processed and the unloading operation can be performed, wherein the processing end signal includes but is not limited to a processing end signal for the processing to be completed or a processing end signal for the processing to be completed. For example, the plurality of material processing mechanisms 120 can receive the material to be processed from the loading and unloading mechanism 110, perform specific processing operations on the material, and after completing the processing operation, detect the state of the material through the built-in sensor to confirm whether the processing is completed. When it is confirmed that the processing is completed, the material processing mechanism 120 can output a processing end signal to the controller 130 through the communication interface.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, the material processing mechanism 120 is driven by a servo motor when working, and optionally, it can be an Omron servo motor.

[0046] The controller 130 is used to control the operating status of the loading and unloading mechanism 110, and to receive multiple processing completion signals output by multiple material processing mechanisms 120, and to control the loading and unloading mechanism to unload the materials that have been processed in the corresponding material processing mechanisms 120 in the order in which the multiple processing completion signals are received.

[0047] Specifically, the loading and unloading control device 100 also includes a controller 130, which can control the operation state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110, such as controlling the start and stop of the loading and unloading mechanism 110, and taking out the material from the preset position and placing it in the material processing mechanism 120. Further, the controller 130 can also receive a processing end signal of the material processing mechanism 120, wherein each processing end signal corresponds to a material processing mechanism 120 where a processed material is located, which can facilitate the control of the loading and unloading mechanism to unload the processed materials in the corresponding material processing mechanism 120 in a sequential order.

[0048] In summary, in a specific embodiment, combined with Figure 3As shown, the loading and unloading control device 100 mainly includes three parts in terms of hardware control, namely a feedback part, an execution part and a controller 130, wherein the feedback part can feedback the encoding state of the servo motor, the state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 and the state of the material processing mechanism 120; the execution part includes a servo motor, a servo driver and a branch, wherein the servo motor is directly controlled by the servo driver, and the servo driver can build a bus network with the controller 130 through the branch, and the controller 130 can control the servo driver through the bus to drive the servo motor to move. At the same time, the servo motor can feedback the current state to the controller 130, wherein the controller 130 can adopt Omron's programmable logic controller 130, which has a stack function for processing external electrical signals and network signals, and the controller 130 obtains the operation data of other devices and issues control instructions by electrically connecting or connecting with other devices (such as the material processing mechanism 120, the loading and unloading mechanism 110, etc.) through a network cable.

[0049] Thus, the above-mentioned loading and unloading control device 100 can ensure that the processed materials can be taken out from the material processing mechanism 120 in time by controlling the unloading of the processed materials in the material processing mechanism 120 in sequence according to the sequence of the multiple processing completion signals received, and effectively avoids the problem of the materials being retained in the material processing mechanism 120 for a long time after the processing is completed. At the same time, it reduces the quality problems such as overflow and moisture intrusion caused by long-term exposure of the materials to the air, thereby improving the overall quality and performance of the materials and ensuring the stability and reliability of the products.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the processing end signal includes identification information corresponding to each material processing mechanism 120 .

[0051] Specifically, the processing completion signal can be the identification information corresponding to each material processing mechanism 120. For example, all material processing mechanisms 120 in the loading and unloading control device 100 have a unique identification information, including but not limited to numbers, such as No. 1, No. 2...No. 16, etc., which can be used to distinguish different material processing mechanisms 120. When the material processing mechanism 120 completes the processing task, it can send a processing completion signal (that is, the number of the material processing mechanism 120) to the controller 130, indicating which material processing mechanism 120 has completed the processing, so that after the controller 130 receives the processing completion signal, it can sort and manage the materials that have been processed according to the order in which the processing completion signals are received.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the controller 130 is configured with a stack, and the controller 130 is suitable for storing the identification information of each material processing mechanism 120 into the stack in a first-in-first-out manner when receiving a processing end signal, and when each material processing mechanism completes unloading, the corresponding identification information is removed from the stack in sequence according to the order in which the unloading of each material processing mechanism 120 is completed.

[0053] Specifically, the controller 130 is configured with a stack, which has the functions of storage, insertion, deletion, first-in first-out, first-in last-out, etc., and can be used to store the identification information of the material processing mechanism 120, and selectively realize the functional requirements of first-in first-out. Specifically, when receiving the processing end signal, the controller 130 can store the identification information of different material processing mechanisms 120 in the stack in a first-in first-out manner. Further, when the material processing mechanism 120 is unloading, the controller 130 can, according to the order of the records in the stack, after the unloading is completed, remove the identification information corresponding to the materials that have been processed in the stack in sequence according to the unloading completion order of each material processing mechanism 120. Specifically, when there is one loading and unloading mechanism 110, the unloading completion order is consistent with the identification information storage order, and the unloading is carried out in the order of the identification information storage, that is, the first-in first-out order; when there are multiple loading and unloading mechanisms 110, multiple material processing mechanisms 120 can be unloaded simultaneously, and at this time, the unloading is carried out in the order of the unloading completion of multiple material processing mechanisms 120.

[0054] For example, assume that there are 4 material processing mechanisms 120 in the loading and unloading device 100, which are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. In the prior art, materials are usually unloaded according to the numbers. If the material processing mechanism 120 numbered 2 finishes processing first and outputs a processing end signal, the material processing mechanism 120 numbered 3 finishes processing second and outputs a processing end signal, the material processing mechanism 120 numbered 1 finishes processing third and outputs a processing end signal, and the material processing mechanism 120 numbered 4 finishes processing fourth and outputs a processing end signal, then, according to the method described in the prior art, the order in the queue is 1-2-3-4, and the materials are unloaded in sequence, and Delete the number. If at this time, after the materials with numbers 1 and 2 are removed, the controller 130 puts new materials back into the material processing mechanisms 120 with numbers 1 and 2, and the material processing mechanisms 120 with numbers 1 and 2 finish processing again, according to the order of priority, the order in the queue is still 1-2-3-4. When unloading, materials will still be taken out from the material processing mechanisms 120 with numbers 1 and 2, which will cause the materials in the material processing mechanisms 120 with numbers 3 and 4 to be stranded. The order of numbers in the stack in this solution is: 2-3 -1 -4, when unloading, the controller 130 can find number 2 from the stack and generate an unloading instruction. The unloading and loading mechanism 110 takes out the material from the material processing mechanism 120 numbered 2 according to the instruction and places it in the next process. The controller 130 removes number 2 from the stack, and the numbering sequence in the stack becomes: 3 ->1 ->4. If at this time, the controller 130 puts the new material back into the material processing mechanism 120 numbered 2, and the material processing mechanism 120 numbered 2 ends the processing again and outputs the processing end signal, then the controller 130 stores number 2 in the stack. At this time, the numbering sequence in the stack is: 3-1 -4-2. It can be understood that through the first-in-first-out method of the stack of this solution, it can be ensured that the pressurized material can be taken out of the material processing mechanism in time, effectively avoiding the problem of the material being retained in the material processing mechanism for a long time after the pressurization is completed. At the same time, it reduces the quality problems such as overflow and moisture intrusion caused by the material being exposed to the air for a long time, thereby improving the overall quality and performance of the material and ensuring the stability and reliability of the product.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first-in-first-out method includes: storing the plurality of identification information in the stack from the top of the stack to the bottom of the stack in the order in which the plurality of processing completion signals are received.

[0056] Specifically, in the loading and unloading control device 100, the controller 130 uses a stack data structure to manage the number of the material processing mechanism 120 to ensure that the material is unloaded in a first-in-first-out manner. Specifically, when the controller 130 receives the first processing end signal from the material processing mechanism 120, it can record the corresponding material processing mechanism 120 number and store the number in the top position of the stack. Furthermore, the corresponding material processing mechanism 120 number recorded after receiving the processing end signal from the material processing mechanism 120 can be stored in the stack in sequence, that is, stored in the second position and the third position adjacent to the top position of the stack, and so on to the bottom position.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, the controller 130 is also suitable for receiving stack modification instructions and modifying the contents of the stack based on the stack modification instructions; wherein the stack modification instructions include: a first instruction for indicating adjustment of the order of identification information within the stack, and / or a second instruction for indicating deletion of target identification information within the stack, and / or a third instruction for indicating insertion of target identification information at a target position in the stack.

[0058] Specifically, in the loading and unloading control device 100, the controller 130 can receive a stack modification instruction and modify the contents of the stack based on the modification instruction, wherein the modification instruction includes a first instruction for indicating adjustment of the order of identification information in the stack, for example, the specified identification information can be moved to the top of the stack or the bottom of the stack, and further, the modification instruction also includes a second instruction for indicating deletion of target identification information in the stack, for example, the identification information at the top of the stack or the bottom of the stack can be deleted, and further, the modification instruction also includes a third instruction for indicating insertion of target identification information at a target position in the stack, for example, the specified identification information can be inserted into a specific position at the bottom or middle of the stack.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the operating state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 , the controller 130 is specifically used to: obtain the material state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 , and control the operating state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 according to the material state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 .

[0060] Specifically, during the loading and unloading process, the controller 130 can obtain material status information in the loading and unloading mechanism 110 through sensors and communication interfaces, such as whether there is material in the loading and unloading mechanism 110, and obtain the status of the material (such as to be processed, processed, etc.) if there is material. Furthermore, the controller 130 can generate corresponding control instructions based on the material status, such as taking materials or unloading materials in a specific area or process, so as to ensure that the loading and unloading mechanism 110 can perform loading and unloading operations efficiently and accurately.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the operating state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 according to the material state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110, the controller 130 is used to: when there is no material in the loading and unloading mechanism 110, control the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to obtain material from the previous process or the material processing mechanism 120.

[0062] Specifically, in the process of controlling the operation state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 according to the material state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110, if the sensor provided in the loading and unloading mechanism 110 detects that there is no material in the loading and unloading mechanism 110, a signal indicating that the current material state is empty can be sent to the controller 130. Further, after the controller 130 receives the signal that the material state is empty, a loading instruction can be generated to control the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to obtain materials from the previous process or the material processing mechanism 120. It can be understood that the loading instruction includes but is not limited to specific actions such as starting the loading and unloading mechanism 110, moving to the previous process position or the material processing mechanism 120 position, and grabbing materials; the previous process is but is not limited to the original storage area of ​​the material or the area where the material is produced.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the operating state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 according to the material state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110, the controller 130 is also used for: when the loading and unloading mechanism 110 has materials and the materials have been processed, controlling the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to deliver the processed materials to the next process.

[0064] Specifically, in the process of controlling the operating state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 according to the material state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110, if the sensor provided in the loading and unloading mechanism 110 detects that there is material in the loading and unloading mechanism 110 and the material has been processed, a signal indicating that the current material state is processed can be sent to the controller 130. Further, when the controller 130 receives the signal that the material state is processed, a delivery instruction can be generated to control the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to deliver the processed material to the next process. It can be understood that the delivery instruction includes but is not limited to specific actions such as starting the loading and unloading mechanism 110, moving to the next process position, and delivering materials; the next process includes but is not limited to the final receiving and storage area for the material.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the operating state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 according to the material state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110, the controller 130 is also used for: when the loading and unloading mechanism 110 has material and the material is not processed, controlling the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to deliver the unprocessed material to the target material processing mechanism for processing, wherein the target material processing mechanism includes a material processing mechanism 120 that currently has no material.

[0066] Specifically, in the process of controlling the operating state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110 according to the material state of the loading and unloading mechanism 110, if the sensor provided in the loading and unloading mechanism 110 detects that there is material in the loading and unloading mechanism 110 and the material has not been processed, a signal indicating that the current material state is unprocessed can be sent to the controller 130. Further, after the controller 130 receives the signal that the material state is unprocessed, a delivery instruction can be generated to control the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to deliver the unprocessed material to the material processing mechanism 120 that currently has no material, that is, the target material processing mechanism. It can be understood that the delivery instruction includes but is not limited to specific actions such as starting the loading and unloading mechanism 110, moving to the position of the material processing mechanism 120, and delivering the material.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present invention, the controller 130 is further used to: obtain the material status of the material processing mechanism 120 , and control the operation status of the material processing mechanism 120 according to the material status of the material processing mechanism 120 .

[0068] Specifically, during the process of loading and unloading materials, the controller 130 can obtain the material status in the material processing mechanism 120 through sensors and communication interfaces, such as whether there is material in the material processing mechanism 120, and obtain the material status (such as to be processed, processed, etc.) when there is material. Furthermore, the controller 130 can generate corresponding control instructions based on the material status, such as loading or unloading the material processing mechanism 120.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the operating state of the material processing mechanism 120 according to the material state of the material processing mechanism 120, the controller 130 is used to: when there is no material in the material processing mechanism 120, control the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to load the material processing mechanism 120.

[0070] Specifically, in the process of controlling the operating state of the material processing mechanism 120 according to the material state of the material processing mechanism 120, if the sensor provided in the material processing mechanism 120 detects that there is no material in the material processing mechanism 120, a signal indicating that the current material state is empty can be sent to the controller 130. Further, after the controller 130 receives the signal that the material state is empty, a loading instruction can be generated to control the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to put materials (i.e., load materials) into the material processing mechanism 120. It can be understood that the loading instruction includes but is not limited to specific actions such as starting the loading and unloading mechanism 110, moving to the unprocessed material storage position, grabbing materials, moving to the material processing mechanism 120, and loading materials.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to load materials to the material processing mechanism 120, the controller 130 is used to: obtain the arrangement order of identification information of multiple material processing mechanisms 120; and control the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to load materials to the multiple material processing mechanisms 120 in sequence according to the arrangement order of the identification information of the multiple material processing mechanisms 120.

[0072] Specifically, in the process of controlling the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to load the material processing mechanism 120, the controller 130 can obtain the identification information of multiple material processing mechanisms 120, and sort the identification information to generate a loading instruction according to the sorted identification information. Further, the controller 130 can send the loading instructions to the loading and unloading mechanism 110 in sequence, and control the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to load multiple material processing mechanisms 120 in sequence. For example, if the material processing mechanisms 120 are numbered 1, 2, 3, ..., the controller 130 first controls the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to load the material processing mechanism 120 numbered 1, and then to load the material processing mechanism 120 numbered 2, and so on.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the operating state of the material processing mechanism 120 according to the material state of the material processing mechanism 120, the controller 130 is used to: when the material processing mechanism 120 has material and the material processing has been completed, control the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to unload the material from the material processing mechanism 120.

[0074] Specifically, in the process of controlling the operating state of the material processing mechanism 120 according to the material state of the material processing mechanism 120, if the sensor provided in the material processing mechanism 120 detects that there is material that has been processed in the material processing mechanism 120, a signal indicating that the current material state is that the processing has been completed can be sent to the controller 130. Further, after the controller 130 receives the signal that the material state is that the processing has been completed, a material unloading instruction can be generated to control the loading and unloading mechanism 110 to remove the material from the material processing mechanism 120 (i.e., unloading the material). It can be understood that the material unloading instruction includes but is not limited to specific actions such as starting the loading and unloading mechanism 110, moving to the material processing mechanism 120, grabbing the material, and moving to the storage location of the processed material.

[0075] In one embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the operating state of the material processing mechanism 120 according to the material state of the material processing mechanism 120, the controller 130 is used to: when the material processing mechanism 120 has material and the material is not processed, control the material processing mechanism 120 to process the material.

[0076] Specifically, in the process of controlling the operating state of the material processing mechanism 120 according to the material state of the material processing mechanism 120, if the sensor provided in the material processing mechanism 120 detects that there is material in the material processing mechanism 120 but the material has not been processed, a signal indicating that the current material state is unprocessed can be sent to the controller 130. Furthermore, when the controller 130 receives the signal that the material state is unprocessed, a material processing instruction can be generated to control the material processing mechanism 120 to process the material.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present invention, the material includes but is not limited to a battery.
