This diamond-shaped product automatic counting and packaging machine can automatically complete the counting, unloading and bagging processes of diamond-shaped products, which can improve work efficiency and ensure the accuracy of the packaging quantity. However, there are the following technical problems:

[0004] 1. The feeding channel and the replenishing channel need to cooperate to complete the order subpackaging counting. The total number of channels is fixedly combined by multiple fast channels and one slow channel, which may easily cause the subpackaging accuracy to fail to meet the requirements when the number of single packages is small or the number of subpackaging is large within a given time;

[0005] 2. The material needs to be replenished through a separate replenishment channel, which may easily lead to high equipment costs.

[0006] 3. Using a single channel for feeding makes it difficult to feed materials of different shapes, which can easily lead to a low success rate of feeding. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent automated typical standard parts sorting application device and method suitable for warehouses, so as to solve the problem that when materials are packaged in the prior art, the feeding channel and the replenishing channel need to cooperate to complete the package counting, and the total channel number is fixedly combined by means of multiple fast channels and one slow channel, which may easily cause the package accuracy to fail to meet the requirements when the number of single packages is small or the number of packages is large within a given time.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0009] An intelligent automated typical standard parts sorting application device suitable for a warehouse, comprising a counting and sorting device and a control unit for controlling the counting and sorting device operation, wherein the counting and sorting device comprises a housing, on which is arranged an automatic feeding unit for performing multi-channel uniform feeding, a multi-channel discharge hopper unit for performing single-channel or combined-channel transportation of materials supplied by the automatic feeding unit, and a CCD linear array camera assembly for performing discharge counting of materials transported by the multi-channel discharge hopper unit;

[0012] Furthermore, the material distribution assembly includes a base with a mounting hole, a vibrator arranged on the base, and a vibrating plate with a number of channels increasing exponentially in sequence arranged on the vibrator;

[0014] The disk structure comprises at least three disks arranged in sequence, the disk at the front end is a channel, and when the number of channels is greater than 1, the disk is arranged in a wavy structure or a sawtooth structure or a plurality of V-shaped structures having the same number of channels according to the number of channels;

[0015] When the number of channels of the disk is greater than 2, the inverted triangle shunt block is set at the position where the two channels are connected;

[0016] When the number of channels of the disk is 2, the inverted triangle shunt block is set at the middle position of the frontmost disk or at the position where the two channels are connected;

[0017] The belt conveyor assembly includes a mounting frame A, a rotating shaft A arranged on the mounting frame A, a PVC belt A arranged on the rotating shaft A, a servo motor A arranged on the mounting frame A for driving the rotating shaft A to rotate, and a square frame arranged on the mounting frame A, wherein the square frame is provided with an opening on one side of the rear end in the material conveying direction, and an inverted eight-shaped material guide plate for limiting the material on the PVC belt A is provided in the square frame;

[0019] Furthermore, a spring foot with a locking hole is provided on the base, the vibrator is provided on the spring foot, and an inverted U-shaped piece is also provided on the base for limiting the vibration of the vibrator and limiting the movement space of the vibration disk;

[0020] An adjusting gate for adjusting the size of the opening of the square frame is movably provided on the opening side of the square frame;

[0021] The square frame is provided with threaded holes, the regulating gate is provided with sliding grooves matched with the threaded holes, and the regulating gate is fixed on the square frame by bolts matched with the sliding grooves and the threaded holes.

[0022] Furthermore, the disc body, the inverted eight-shaped guide plate and the regulating gate are made of nylon;

[0023] The square frame is made of transparent PC material.

[0024] Furthermore, the multi-channel discharge hopper unit includes a conveyor belt mechanism arranged on the shell, a cache bin arranged on the conveyor belt mechanism and having the same number of channels as the output end of the automatic feeding unit and an opening at the bottom, a channel gate rotatably arranged on the cache bin for opening and closing the bottom opening of the cache bin, a stepper motor for controlling the opening and closing of the channel gate, and a discharge cylinder arranged at the tail of the conveyor belt mechanism for controlling the discharge of materials discharged from the cache bin.

[0025] Furthermore, the specific implementation logic of the control unit is:

[0026] The automatic feeding unit is controlled to transport materials to the buffer bin in a long pulse vibration manner. The materials falling into each buffer bin are counted by the CCD linear array camera component, and the number of materials in each buffer bin and each combined buffer bin is determined from the number of channels from most to least and the total number from large to small to see whether the number of materials is equal to the number of materials required by the order;

[0027] If it is equal, open the channel gate of the corresponding buffer bin, and determine whether the number of times each buffer bin is not currently involved in the allocation is less than or equal to the given threshold A. If it is less than the given threshold A, execute step 2 again to subcontract the next order. If it is greater than or equal to the given threshold A, open the channel gate of the corresponding buffer bin and discharge the material as an over-standard object.

[0028] If not equal, judge whether the quantity of materials in each cache bin and each combined cache bin is less than the quantity of materials required by the order according to the number of channels from most to least and the total number from large to small. If so, judge whether the material in each cache bin is greater than the maximum value in the priority order. If greater, open the channel gate of the corresponding cache bin and discharge the material as an over-standard object. If less than or equal, judge whether the difference between the quantity of materials in each cache bin and each combined cache bin and the actual quantity required for the current order is less than a given threshold value B according to the number of channels from most to least and the total number from large to small.

[0029] If there is less than a given threshold value B, the automatic feeding unit is controlled to use short pulse vibration to transport materials to the buffer bin, and the materials falling into each buffer bin are counted by the CCD linear array camera component, and the number of channels from most to least and the total number from large to small are judged to see whether the number of materials in each buffer bin and each combined buffer bin is equal to the number of materials required by the order;

[0030] If it is equal, open the channel gate of the corresponding buffer bin, and determine whether the number of times each buffer bin is not currently involved in the allocation is less than the given threshold A. If it is less than the given threshold A, execute step 2 again to subpackage the next order until the priority order subpackage is completed. If it is greater than or equal to the given threshold A, open the channel gate of the corresponding buffer bin and discharge the material as an over-standard object.

[0031] If not, execute the short pulse vibration in this step again to perform the order subcontracting process;

[0032] If it is greater than or equal to the given threshold value B, the long pulse vibration in this step is executed again to carry out the order subcontracting process;

[0033] If the quantity of materials required for the order is less than the given threshold C, the short pulse vibration in this step is used to carry out the order subcontracting process;

[0034] Step 3: Control all channel gates to be in an open state, control the automatic feeding unit to continuously feed the current order, count the materials in each channel of the current order through the CCD linear array camera assembly 600, and determine whether the difference between the number of materials required for the current order and the sum of the number of materials in all channels is less than or equal to a given threshold value D;

[0035] If not, continue feeding;

[0036] If so, take the difference as the quantity that needs to be replenished, and control all channel gates to be in a closed state at the same time, and then control the automatic feeding unit to transport materials to the buffer bin by short pulse vibration. Count the materials falling into each buffer bin through the CCD linear array camera component to determine whether the quantity of materials in all buffer bins is equal to the quantity that needs to be replenished for the current order. If equal, open the channel gates of all buffer bins, and execute step 3 again to subpackage the next order until the subpackaging of the subsequent orders is completed. If less than, execute the short pulse vibration in this step again to replenish the order. If greater than, determine whether it is less than or equal to the quantity of materials required for the subsequent orders according to the size of the order materials. If so, take the first order that meets the conditions as the current order, and the current order as the next order. Execute the short pulse vibration in this step again to replenish the order until the subpackaging of all subsequent orders is completed. If not, discharge the materials and subpack the current order again.

[0037] Furthermore, a through hole is relatively provided on the disc body located on one side of the belt conveyor assembly;

[0038] The mounting frame A is provided with a material level sensor corresponding to the through hole for sensing the material on the vibration plate and a reflective plate matched with the material level sensor;

[0039] The control unit controls the material distribution component to vibrate continuously, vibrate in long pulses or vibrate in short pulses according to the feedback from the material level sensor, so as to control the quantity and distance of the material conveyed in a single time.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes an intelligent real-time packaging printing and marking unit for packaging and marking each sub-packaged material, and a finished product conveying unit for conveying the material packaged and marked by the intelligent real-time packaging printing and marking unit;

[0041] The intelligent real-time packaging printing and marking unit includes a discharge hopper unit controlled by a control unit to discharge subpackages or over-standard materials, a small desktop packaging machine for packaging subpackages discharged by the discharge unit, and a thermal transfer printer for marking the small desktop packaging machine;

[0042] The finished product conveying unit is a forward and reverse conveyor belt that transports the excessive materials discharged from the hopper unit and the sub-packages marked by the intelligent real-time packaging printing and marking unit, a return material assembly that is controlled by the control unit to recycle the excessive materials conveyed by the forward and reverse conveyor belts, and a finished product conveyor that is controlled by the control unit to output the marked sub-packages.

[0043] An intelligent automated typical standard parts sorting application method suitable for a warehouse comprises the following steps:

[0044] Pour the material onto the automatic feeding unit in the counting and sorting equipment, and control the automatic feeding unit through the control unit to feed the multi-channel discharge hopper unit evenly through multiple channels;

[0045] The control unit opens a channel or a combined channel for the materials supplied by the automatic feeding unit to carry out order subpackaging. Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0046] 1. The present invention does not require a special feeding channel and a feeding channel to complete the order subpackaging counting. It only needs to control the automatic feeding unit to feed evenly through multiple channels through the control unit, and control one channel or a combined channel of the multi-channel discharge hopper unit. It can not only realize continuous feeding and feeding and subpackaging, but also achieve the order subpackaging accuracy of more than 99.97% when the number of single packages is small or the number of subpackaging is large within a given time. The equipment cost is low, and it can also feed materials of different shapes with a high probability of successful feeding.

[0047] Second, the present invention sets a material distribution component at the rear end of the belt conveyor component, and the vibrator in the material distribution component can vibrate the vibration plate on it, so that the material can move along the vibration plate in the direction where the number of channels increases exponentially, and dispersed in each channel. The material distribution component can not only accurately feed materials with conventional characteristics, but also finely disperse materials with special materials, processes, and performance requirements (for example: aluminum flat washers, aluminum screws, hardware with oxide layers, etc.), thereby improving the feeding accuracy, that is, ensuring the accuracy of the discharge of each channel and ensuring the continuous, stable supply of materials and uniform feeding;

[0048] 3. The vibrating plate of the present invention includes a plate body structure and an inverted triangular diverter block arranged on the plate body structure. When the vibrator vibrates, the material in the middle of the two channels can be effectively divided into the adjacent channels, thereby avoiding the problem of subsequent material transportation along the connecting position of the two channels, which affects the counting.

[0049] Fourth, the present invention stipulates that the disc structure includes at least three discs, the purpose is to ensure that the discharge end of the vibration disc has at least 4 channels, so as to effectively avoid the problem of inability to effectively disperse the materials. At the same time, it is stipulated that when the number of channels is greater than 1, the disc is set to a wavy structure or a sawtooth structure or a plurality of V-shaped structures with the same number of channels according to the number of channels, which can effectively avoid vibrating the materials in one channel to another channel during the vibration process, and ensure the vibration dispersion effect of the overlapping materials during the material transportation process of each channel;

[0050] 5. The present invention limits the setting position of the inverted triangle diverter block, which can effectively disperse the materials between adjacent channels to ensure fine dispersion;

[0051] Sixth, the present invention arranges spring feet with locking holes and inverted U-shaped parts on the base, which can effectively avoid large vibration transmission. That is, the use of spring feet with locking holes can ensure that the entire vibration plate will not have a large position deviation when the spring feet buffer the high-frequency vibration of the vibrator. The arrangement of the inverted U-shaped parts allows the spring feet to limit the movement space of the vibration plate while absorbing the vibration transmission;

[0052] 7. The belt conveyor assembly of the present invention is provided with an inverted eight-shaped guide plate in a square frame for limiting the transmission of the material on the belt, so that the material occupies the center of the belt during transportation. The material only rubs against the PVC belt and other materials during transportation, which can reduce the damage caused by the friction between the material and the inner wall of the hopper, and can also avoid the material from leaking at the gap between the baffles on both sides and the belt when the material is piled up;

[0053] 8. The opening side of the square frame in the present invention is movably provided with an adjusting gate for adjusting the size of the opening of the square frame, and the opening of the square frame is adjusted by sliding the slide groove on the adjusting gate in cooperation with the bolt, so as to control the amount of materials discharged from the square frame or the amount of overlap of the materials;

[0054] 9. The present invention limits the disc body, the inverted eight-shaped guide plate and the regulating gate to nylon material, which can effectively avoid damage to the material and realize non-damage transportation, especially for materials of the same material or materials with anodized layers, which can effectively prevent the material from being easily slightly hit by the vibration disc during vibration, resulting in damage. The square frame is limited to transparent PC material, which can easily observe whether there is material accumulation or material jamming, avoiding the risk of mixing;

[0055] 10. The material level sensor and reflector provided in the present invention can sense whether there is material on the vibration plate, so as to control the feeding of the belt assembly or the vibration of the vibrator, and monitor the flow rate of the feeding, so as to make the feeding uniform.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0068] 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 ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] In order to solve the problem that the existing technology requires the coordination of the feeding channel and the replenishing channel to complete the order sub-packaging counting, the total number of channels is fixedly combined by multiple fast channels and one slow channel, which may easily cause the sub-packaging accuracy to fail to meet the requirements when the number of single packages is small or the number of sub-packages is large within a given time. Figure 1-10 As shown, an intelligent automated typical standard parts sorting application device suitable for a warehouse is provided, including a counting and sorting device 001 and a control unit 002 for controlling the operation of the counting and sorting device 001, the counting and sorting device 001 includes a shell, on which is provided an automatic feeding unit 10 for multi-channel uniform feeding, a multi-channel discharge hopper unit 300 for conveying the material supplied by the automatic feeding unit 10 in one channel or in a combined channel, and a CCD linear array camera component 600 for counting the discharge of the material conveyed by the multi-channel discharge hopper unit 300; the control unit 002 controls the multi-channel discharge hopper unit 300 to open one channel or a combined channel for order subpackaging according to the result of the CCD linear array camera component 600.

[0071] The CCD linear array camera assembly 600 includes at least a CCD linear array camera 601 and may also include a light source background light 602. The high-speed linear array sensor is used to scan the high-speed moving object line by line at a speed of 10,000 times per second, so as to obtain a projection image of the product movement trajectory for identification and counting. When the material falls through the camera recognition area (the recognition area can be divided into N areas), the linear array camera accurately captures the material's falling posture, shape and other information through high-speed scanning, realizes the rapid positioning and high-speed scanning of standard parts in the image, relies on the scientific nature of big data and cloud processing capabilities to solve the overlap and occlusion problems between standard parts of different types, specifications and colors, and realizes real-time accurate counting function.

[0072] In practice, materials (such as aluminum flat washers, aluminum screws, hardware with oxide layers, etc.) are manually unloaded onto the automatic feeding unit 10, and the control unit controls the operation of the automatic feeding unit 10, and the automatic feeding unit 10 performs multi-channel uniform feeding to the multi-channel discharge hopper unit 300, and counts through the CCD linear array camera assembly 600, and then the control unit controls the multi-channel discharge hopper unit 300 to open one channel or a combination of channels to perform order subpackaging. This embodiment does not require a dedicated feeding channel and feeding channel to complete order subpackaging counting, and only needs to control the multi-channel uniform feeding of the automatic feeding unit through the control unit, and control one channel or a combination of channels of the multi-channel discharge hopper unit, which can not only realize continuous feeding and feeding and feeding subpackaging, but also achieve order subpackaging accuracy of more than 99.97% when the number of single packages is small or the number of subpackaging is large within a given time, and the equipment cost is low, and it can also replenish materials of different shapes and the probability of successful replenishment is equally high.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] Based on Example 1, the automatic feeding unit 10 includes a belt conveyor assembly 100 arranged on a shell, a material distribution assembly 200 for dispersing materials transported by the belt conveyor assembly 100, and a conveying assembly 700 for conveying materials transported by the material distribution assembly 200.

[0075] The material dividing component 200 includes a base 206 with a mounting hole, a vibrator 203 arranged on the base 206, and a vibration plate 201 with a channel number that increases exponentially on the vibrator 203; by arranging the material dividing component at the rear end of the belt conveyor component, the vibration plate thereon can be vibrated by the vibrator in the material dividing component, so that the material can move along the vibration plate in the direction in which the channel number increases exponentially and dispersed in each channel. The use of the material dividing component can not only accurately and disperse the materials with conventional characteristics, but also can achieve fine dispersion of materials with special materials, processes, and performance requirements (for example: aluminum flat washers, aluminum screws, hardware with oxide layers, etc.), thereby improving the feeding accuracy, that is, ensuring the accuracy of the material discharge from each channel and ensuring the continuous, stable supply of the material and the uniformity of the feeding.

[0076] The vibration disk 201 includes a disk structure 207 with a number of channels that increases exponentially, and an inverted triangle diverter block 202 arranged on the disk structure 207 to disperse each material to the corresponding channel. In conjunction with the vibration of the vibrator, the material located in the middle of the two channels can be effectively divided into adjacent channels, avoiding the subsequent transportation of materials along the connecting position of the two channels, affecting the counting and other problems.

[0077] The disc structure 207 includes at least three discs 208 arranged in sequence, and the disc 208 at the front end is a channel (the number of channels of the three discs is 1, 2, and 4 in sequence). When the number of channels is greater than 1, the disc 208 is set to a wavy structure or a sawtooth structure or a plurality of V-shaped structures with the same number of channels according to the number of channels; the disc structure is limited to at least three discs, the purpose is to ensure that the discharge end of the vibration disc is at least 4 channels, so as to effectively avoid the problem of being unable to effectively disperse the materials. At the same time, when the number of channels is greater than 1, the disc is set to a wavy structure or a sawtooth structure or a plurality of V-shaped structures with the same number of channels according to the number of channels, which can effectively avoid vibrating the materials of one channel to another channel during the vibration process, and ensure the vibration dispersion effect of the overlapping materials during the material conveying process of each channel. Of course, in practice, the disc structure 207 can also be set to 4 discs, and the corresponding output channels are 8, which depends on the size of the materials, the size of the settings, etc.

[0078] When the number of channels of the disk body 208 is greater than 2, the inverted triangle diverter block 202 is set at the position where the two channels are connected; when the number of channels of the disk body 208 is 2, the inverted triangle diverter block 202 is set at the middle position of the front end disk body 208 or at the position where the two channels are connected; limiting the setting position of the inverted triangle diverter block can effectively disperse the materials located between adjacent channels to ensure fine dispersion.

[0079] The belt conveyor assembly 100 includes a mounting frame A108, a rotating shaft A109 arranged on the mounting frame A108, a PVC belt A106 arranged on the rotating shaft A109, a servo motor A103 arranged on the mounting frame A108 for driving the rotating shaft A109 to rotate, and a square frame 102 arranged on the mounting frame A108. The square frame 102 is provided with an opening on one side of the rear end in the material conveying direction, and an inverted eight-shaped material guide plate 101 is provided in the square frame 102 for limiting the transmission of the material on the PVC belt A106; the belt conveyor assembly is provided with an inverted eight-shaped material guide plate in the square frame for limiting the transmission of the material on the belt, so that the material occupies the central area of ​​the PVC belt during transportation. The material only rubs against the PVC belt and other materials during transportation, which can reduce the damage caused by the friction between the material and the inner wall of the hopper, and can also avoid leakage of the material at the gap between the baffles on both sides and the PVC belt when the material is piled up.

[0080] The conveying assembly 700 includes a mounting frame B701, a rotating shaft B702 arranged on the mounting frame B701, a PVC belt B703 arranged on the rotating shaft B702, a servo motor B704 arranged on the mounting frame B701 to drive the rotating shaft B702 to rotate, a supporting plate 705 arranged on the mounting frame B701, a partition plate 706 for separating two channels arranged on the supporting plate 705, and a visual window 707 corresponding to each channel arranged on the supporting plate 705. It is beneficial to uniformly convey the dispersed materials.

[0081] In practice, when the counting device starts working, the standard parts are manually poured onto the PVC belt A106 between the inverted eight-shaped guide plates 101 in the square frame 102. When the control unit 002 controls the servo motor A103 to start and drive the rotating shaft A to rotate, the PVC belt A106 drives the material on it to move from the opening of the square frame to the material distribution component, and the material is distributed through the material distribution component. The material distribution component 200 controls the vibrator 203 to vibrate through the control unit 002, and the material is uniformly supplied to the vibrating plate 201 issued. When the vibrator 203 vibrates to make the material move forward, the vibrating plate 201 with the number of channels increasing exponentially and the inverted triangle diverter block 202 arranged thereon disperse the material in multiple channels and arrange it one by one for transportation, which can effectively avoid the overlapping of materials. The material output by the material distribution component falls onto the conveying component 700, and the control unit 002 controls the servo motor B704 to start and drive the rotating shaft B to rotate, and the PVC belt B703 drives the material on it to be transported from the channel between the partition plates 706 to the multi-channel discharge hopper unit 300.

[0082] Example 3

[0083] On the basis of Example 2, a spring foot 204 with a locking hole is provided on the base 206, and the vibrator 203 is arranged on the spring foot 204. The base 206 is also provided with an inverted U-shaped part 205 for limiting the vibration of the vibrator 203 to limit the movement space of the vibration disk 201; a mounting plate with a hole is provided on the U-shaped part 205, which is fixed to the base by bolts. The spring foot with a locking hole and the inverted U-shaped part are arranged on the base, which can effectively avoid large vibration transmission. That is, the use of the spring foot with a locking hole can ensure that the spring foot will not have a large position deviation when buffering the high-frequency vibration of the vibrator. The setting of the inverted U-shaped part enables the spring foot to limit the movement space of the vibration disk while absorbing the vibration transmission.

The adjusting gate 104 is fixed to the square frame 102 by bolts 107 matching the slide groove 110 and the threaded hole. An adjusting gate for adjusting the size of the opening of the square frame is movably provided on the opening side of the square frame in this embodiment, and the opening of the square frame is adjusted by slidingly matching the slide groove on the adjusting gate with the bolt, so as to control the amount of materials discharged from the square frame or the amount of overlap of materials, that is, to evenly supply the materials to the vibration plate.

[0085] Example 4

[0086] On the basis of Example 3, the disk body 208, the inverted eight-shaped material guide plate 101 and the adjusting gate 104 are made of nylon, which can effectively avoid damage to the material and realize damage-free transportation, especially for materials of the same material or materials with an anodized layer, which can effectively prevent the material from being easily slightly hit by the vibration disk during vibration and causing damage; the square frame 102 is made of transparent PC material, and it is easy to observe whether there is material accumulation or jamming, thereby avoiding the risk of mixing materials.

[0087] Example 5

[0088] On the basis of Example 4, the multi-channel discharge hopper unit 300 includes a conveying belt mechanism 303 arranged on the shell (including a mounting frame C, a rotating shaft C arranged on the mounting frame C, a PVC belt C arranged on the rotating shaft C, and a servo motor C for driving the rotating shaft C to rotate), a buffer bin 301 with the same number of channels as the output end of the automatic feeding unit 10 and an opening at the bottom arranged on the conveying belt mechanism 303 (arranged on the mounting frame C), a channel gate 305 rotatably arranged on the buffer bin 301 for opening and closing the bottom opening of the buffer bin 301, a stepping motor 304 for controlling the opening and closing of the channel gate 305, and a discharge cylinder 302 arranged at the tail end of the conveying belt mechanism 303 for controlling the discharge of materials discharged from the buffer bin 301.

[0089] In practice, it is convenient to control the switch of the channel gate 305 on the buffer bin 301 through the control unit 002 to discharge or cache materials, to transport the materials released by the buffer bin 301 through the control unit 002, and to block and discharge the materials released from the buffer bin 301 to the conveyor belt mechanism 303 through the control unit 002, so as to effectively prevent the materials from popping out of the conveyor belt mechanism 303.

[0090] Example 6

[0091] Based on Example 5, the specific implementation logic of the control unit 002 is:

[0092] Step 1: Pre-read order information to determine whether the quantity of materials in each given order is less than a given threshold F. If yes, prioritize the order and go to step 2 to process the order in ascending order according to the quantity of materials in the order. If no, wait for the priority order to be processed and then go to step 3 to process the subsequent orders in ascending order according to the quantity of materials in the order.

[0093] Step 2: Control all channel gates 305 to be in a closed state if the quantity of materials required by the order is greater than or equal to a given threshold C;

[0094] The automatic feeding unit 10 is controlled to transport materials to the buffer bin 301 by long pulse vibration, and the materials falling into each buffer bin 301 are counted by the CCD linear array camera assembly 600, and it is determined whether the quantity of materials in each buffer bin 301 and each combined buffer bin 301 is equal to the quantity of materials required by the order according to the number of channels from most to least and the total number from large to small;

[0095] If it is equal, open the channel gate 305 of the corresponding buffer bin 301, and determine whether the number of times each buffer bin 301 is not currently involved in the allocation is less than or equal to the given threshold A. If it is less than the given threshold A, execute step 2 again to subcontract the next order. If it is greater than or equal to the given threshold A, open the channel gate 305 of the corresponding buffer bin 301 and discharge the material as an over-standard object.

[0096] If not equal, determine whether the quantity of materials in each cache bin 301 and each combined cache bin 301 is less than the quantity of materials required by the order according to the number of channels from most to least and the total number from large to small. If so, determine whether the material in each cache bin 301 is greater than the maximum value in the priority order. If so, open the channel gate of the corresponding cache bin 301 and discharge the material as an excess object. If less than or equal to, determine whether the difference between the quantity of materials in each cache bin 301 and each combined cache bin 301 and the actual quantity required for the current order is less than a given threshold value B according to the number of channels from most to least and the total number from large to small.

[0097] If there is less than a given threshold value B, the automatic feeding unit 10 is controlled to transport materials to the buffer bin 301 in a short pulse vibration manner, and the materials falling into each buffer bin 301 are counted by the CCD linear array camera assembly 600, and it is determined whether the quantity of materials in each buffer bin 301 and each combined buffer bin 301 is equal to the quantity of materials required by the order according to the number of channels from most to least and the total number from large to small;

[0098] If it is equal, open the channel gate 305 of the corresponding buffer bin 301, and determine whether the number of times each buffer bin 301 is not currently involved in the distribution is less than the given threshold A. If it is less than the given threshold A, execute step 2 again to subpackage the next order until the priority order subpackage is completed. If it is greater than or equal to the given threshold A, open the channel gate of the corresponding buffer bin 301 and discharge the material as an over-standard object.

[0099] If not, execute the short pulse vibration in this step again to perform the order subcontracting process;

[0100] If it is greater than or equal to the given threshold value B, the long pulse vibration in this step is executed again to carry out the order subcontracting process;

[0101] If the quantity of materials required for the order is less than the given threshold C, the short pulse vibration in this step is used to carry out the order subcontracting process;

[0102] Step 3: Control all channel gates 305 to be in an open state, control the automatic feeding unit 10 to subpackage and feed the current order in a continuous feeding manner, count the materials in each channel of the current order through the CCD linear array camera assembly 600, and determine whether the difference between the number of materials required for the current order and the sum of the number of materials in all channels is less than or equal to a given threshold value D;

[0103] If not, continue feeding;

[0104] If so, the difference is used as the quantity that needs to be replenished, and all channel gates 305 are controlled to be in a closed state. The automatic feeding unit 10 is controlled to transport materials to the cache bin 301 by short pulse vibration. The materials falling into each cache bin are counted by the CCD linear array camera component 600 to determine whether the quantity of materials in all cache bins 301 is equal to the quantity that needs to be replenished for the current order. If equal, open the channel gates of all cache bins 301, and execute step 3 again to subpackage the next order until the subpackaging of the subsequent orders is completed. If less than, execute the short pulse vibration in this step again to replenish the order. If greater than, determine whether it is less than or equal to the quantity of materials required for the subsequent orders according to the size of the order materials. If so, take the first order that meets the conditions as the current order, and take the current order as the next order. Execute the short pulse vibration in this step again to replenish the order until the subpackaging of all subsequent orders is completed. If not, discharge the materials and re-subpack the current order.

[0105] In practice:

[0106] Step 1: Pre-read order information. There are 8 orders. The material quantities required for the orders are 30, 20, 60, 10, 60, 70, 80, and 20 respectively. Determine whether the material quantity in each given order is less than the given threshold F, F=50, that is, judge by assigning values ​​of X and Y. If yes, prioritize and go to step 2 to process in order from small to large according to the material quantity in the order. The order arrangement is X=(10, 20, 20, 30). If not, process after the priority order is processed. Go to step 3 to process the subsequent orders in order from small to large according to the material quantity in the order. The order arrangement is Y=(60, 60, 70, 80).

[0107] When the cache bin is 4:

[0108] Step 2

[0109] (1) Obtain order X = (10, 20, 20, 30), first execute an order for 10 material quantities, control all channel gates 305 to be in a closed state, and the material quantity required by the order is greater than a given threshold C = 2;

[0110] The automatic feeding unit 10 is controlled to transport materials to the buffer bin in a long pulse vibration manner, and the materials falling into each buffer bin 301 are counted by the CCD linear array camera assembly 600, and the number of materials in the first buffer bin is 5, the number of materials in the second buffer bin is 5, the number of materials in the third buffer bin is 4, and the number of materials in the fourth buffer bin is 3;

[0111] According to the number of channels from most to least and the total number from large to small, it is determined that the number of materials in each cache bin 301 and each combined cache bin 301 is equal to the number of materials required by the order, that is, the sum of the number of materials in the first cache bin and the second cache bin is 10, and the channel gates 305 of the first cache bin and the second cache bin are opened;

[0112] Determine whether the number of times each cache bin 301 currently does not participate in allocation is less than a given threshold value A=3. At this time, the n value of each cache bin is n=0 for the first cache bin, n=0 for the second cache bin, n=1 for the third cache bin, and n=1 for the fourth cache bin. The number of times the four cache bins do not participate in allocation is less than the given threshold value A, and the next order is subcontracted again.

[0113] (2) Order X = (20, 20, 30). At this time, the order of the first 20 material quantities is executed, and all channel gates 305 are controlled to be in a closed state. The material quantity 20 required by the order is greater than the given threshold C = 2;

[0114] The automatic feeding unit 10 is controlled to convey materials to the buffer bin in a long pulse vibration manner, and the materials falling into each buffer bin 301 are counted by the CCD linear array camera assembly 600, and the number of materials in the first buffer bin is 4, the number of materials in the second buffer bin is 5, the number of materials in the third buffer bin is 9 (5 is increased on the basis of the number 4), and the number of materials in the fourth buffer bin is 10 (7 is increased on the basis of the number 3);

[0115] According to the number of channels from most to least and the total number from large to small, it is judged that the number of materials in each cache bin 301 and each combined cache bin 301 is not equal to the number of materials required by the order, and the number of materials in each cache bin 301 and each combined cache bin 301 is less than the number of materials required by the order. The case where the number of channels is the largest and the total number is the largest is less than the number of materials required by the order, such as the sum of the number of materials in the first cache bin, the second cache bin and the fourth cache bin is 19, which is the maximum value when it is less than the number of materials required by the order;

[0116] The quantity of materials in each cache bin 301 is less than the maximum value 30 in the priority order. At this time, the difference between the quantity of materials in each cache bin 301 and each combined cache bin 301 and the actual quantity required for the current order is less than a given threshold value B=2. For example, the sum of the quantity of materials in the first cache bin, the second cache bin and the fourth cache bin is 19, which is 1 less than 20, and 1<2.

[0117] The automatic feeding unit 10 is controlled to convey materials to the buffer bin 301 by short pulse vibration. After the short pulse vibration, the number of materials in the first buffer bin is 5, the number of materials in the second buffer bin is 6, the number of materials in the third buffer bin is still 9, and the number of materials in the fourth buffer bin is still 10;

[0118] And judge whether the quantity of materials in each cache bin 301 and each combined cache bin 301 is equal to the quantity of materials required by the order according to the number of channels from small to large and the total number from large to small. At this time, the sum of the first cache bin, the second cache bin and the third cache bin is 20, which is equal to the quantity of materials required by the order, and the channel gate 305 of the corresponding cache bin 301 is opened;

[0119] At the same time, it is determined whether the number of times each cache bin 301 has not participated in the allocation is less than a given threshold value A=3. At this time, the n value of each cache bin 301 is n=0 for the first cache bin, n=0 for the second cache bin, n=0 for the third cache bin, and n=2 for the fourth cache bin. The number of times the four cache bins 301 have not participated in the allocation is less than the given threshold value A, and the next order is subcontracted again.
