[0044] Reference Figure 3 A weight detector 12 and a basket discharge chute 13 are provided inside the receiving workshop 1. The weight detector 12 is arranged on the flower basket conveyor line 11 to detect the weight of the flower baskets. The detected empty flower baskets are removed from the flower basket conveyor line 11 through the basket discharge chute 13. Since the flower basket conveyor line 11 is in a closed-loop transportation between the receiving workshop 1 and the sorting workshop 2, the flower basket conveyor line 11 in the receiving workshop 1 will have both empty flower baskets and newly placed fully loaded flower baskets. The flower baskets on the flower basket conveyor line 11 can be detected by the weight detector 12. If they are empty flower baskets, the empty flower baskets are brought to the basket discharge chute 13 by the cross-line machine and removed from the flower basket conveyor line 11 through the basket discharge chute 13.

[0045] Reference Figure 3The sorting workshop 2 is provided with a plurality of sorting slides 21 and basket return branches 22. The sorting slides 21 are connected to one end of the flower basket conveying line 11 to form a plurality of sorting areas for sorting flowers. In the specific implementation process, the number of sorting areas can be flexibly adjusted according to the area of ​​the sorting workshop 2. In this embodiment, there are five sorting slides 21 and basket return branches 22, and three sorting areas are formed in the sorting workshop 2. The basket return branch 22 is connected to the other end of the flower basket conveying line 11 to return the empty flower baskets to the baskets. The flowers are transported to the receiving workshop 1, and a plurality of cross-line machines are provided on the flower basket conveyor line 11, which are respectively connected with the sorting chute 21 and the return basket branch line 22. In the present embodiment, there are 10 cross-line machines on the flower basket conveyor line 11, and they correspond one to one with the sorting chute 21 and the return basket branch line 22. During the receiving process, the flower baskets on the flower basket conveyor line 11 can be diverted to different sorting areas, thereby avoiding congestion of the flower basket conveyor line 11 and facilitating the sorting work of the staff in the sorting workshop 2.

[0046] During the specific implementation process, in order to reduce space occupancy, at the entrance of the sorting workshop 2, the two ends of the flower basket conveyor line 11 can be arranged in parallel up and down, wherein the connection end of the flower basket conveyor line 11 and the sorting chute 21 is located at the bottom, so that the fully loaded flower basket can enter the sorting area through the sorting chute 21, and the staff in the sorting area can take the flowers in the flower basket. The connection end of the flower basket conveyor line 11 and the return basket branch line 22 is arranged at the top. When all the flowers in the flower basket are transferred to the inside of the flower barrel, the empty flower basket is placed on the return basket branch line 22 for transportation to the receiving workshop 1.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 A plurality of sorting branch lines 23 are provided on the inner side of the sorting workshop 2. One end of the sorting branch line 23 is connected to the empty bucket conveying line 53 to convey the empty flower buckets to the sorting workshop 2 for standby use. The sorting branch line 23 inside the sorting workshop 2 is arranged below the basket return branch line 22 and is distributed parallel to the sorting chute 21, so that the staff can transfer the flowers in the flower basket to the flower bucket. The other end of the sorting branch line 23 is connected to the storage conveying line 41 to store the flower buckets in the warehouse. The sorting branch line 23 is provided with a grading device 24 for grading flowers according to their characteristics.

[0048] In the specific implementation process, a plurality of blockers will be installed on the sorting branch line 23. In the present embodiment, the sorting branch line 23 has three blockers, which include an electric push rod and a baffle. The operation of the electric push rod can drive the baffle to move, so that the baffle blocks the flower barrels on the sorting branch line 23. One of the blockers is used to limit the flower barrels from entering the sorting workshop 2 through the sorting branch line 23, and the other blocker controls the number of flower barrels moving to the vicinity of the sorting slide 21, and four flower barrels are set as a group, so that when sorting flowers, it is convenient for the staff to sort the flowers according to the variety and size of the flowers. The flowers are stored in different flower barrels according to factors such as size, color or growth degree. There is also a blocker for controlling the number of flower barrels entering the grading device 24 at the same time. The flowers are transported to the grading device 24 through the sorting branch line 23. The grading device 24 takes pictures and identifies the flowers in the flower barrels through a high-definition industrial camera, and grades the flowers according to the grading standards set by the system. Then, the grading information and flower pictures of the flowers are entered into the QR code on the flower barrel, so that customers can choose and purchase flowers on the Internet and quickly ship them after sales.

[0049] Reference Figure 5 A pruning processing line 32 connected to an incoming conveying line 41 is provided inside the inspection workshop 3. Both ends of the pruning processing line 32 are connected to the incoming conveying line 41. The incoming conveying line 41 is provided with a first detection position 31 for detecting the size of flowers at the entrance of the inspection workshop 3. After detection by the first detection position 31, flowers exceeding the size are transported to the pruning processing line 32 for pruning. A second detection position 33 is provided at the end of the pruning processing line 32. After the pruned flowers are re-inspected and qualified by the second detection position 33, they are re-transported to the incoming conveying line 41. The size of the flowers is detected by the first detection position 31 and the second detection position 33, and the flowers exceeding the size are manually pruned, which can ensure that the size of the flowers in the flower barrel is uniform and convenient for storage in the shelves 47 of the warehouse 4.

[0050] In the specific implementation process, the size of the flowers in the flower barrel is detected by an infrared sensor or a laser sensor at the first detection position 31, and it is determined whether the size of the flowers is qualified. If qualified, they are continued to be transported to the warehouse 4 for storage through the storage conveyor line 41. If the flowers exceed the size of the flower barrel too much, they are determined to be unqualified and transferred to the pruning processing line 32 through the lane change gate. The flowers that exceed the size are manually pruned, and the size of the flowers is re-checked at the second detection position 33 at the end of the pruning processing line 32. If qualified, they are re-conveyed to the storage conveyor line 41. If unqualified, they are manually re-pruned.

[0051] Reference Figure 6-Figure 8There are multiple workbenches in the warehouse 4, and the number of workbenches is flexibly set according to the area of ​​the warehouse 4. In the present embodiment, 10 workbenches are arranged inside the warehouse 4, and adjacently distributed inbound branch lines 45 and outbound branch lines 46 are arranged on the inner sides of the workbenches. The inbound branch line 45 is connected to the inbound conveying line 41 through a cross-line machine, and the outbound branch line 46 is connected to the flower outbound line 42 or the empty barrel outbound line 43 through a cross-line machine. When the flowers are put into the warehouse, the flower barrels on the inbound conveying line 41 are quickly diverted through the cooperation of multiple inbound branch lines 45, so that the flowers are conveniently transported to different workbenches for storage in the warehouse. When the flowers are out of the warehouse, the flower barrels can be quickly transported to the flower outbound line 42 or the empty barrel outbound line 43 through the cooperation of multiple inbound branch lines 45, thereby improving the outbound efficiency.

[0052] In another implementation process, both the inbound branch line 45 and the outbound branch line 46 use roller conveyors that can be adjusted forward and reverse. When adjusted to forward conveying, they can be used as the inbound branch line 45 for flowers to enter the warehouse. When adjusted to reverse conveying, they can be used as the outbound branch line 46 for flowers to leave the warehouse. Therefore, the forward and reverse conveying can be adjusted according to the inbound and outbound quantities of flowers. In the specific implementation process, since the receipt and entry of flowers are mostly concentrated in the early morning, there are more flowers entering the warehouse at this time. In order to improve the entry efficiency, a large number of roller conveyors can be adjusted to forward conveying. The shipment of flowers is mostly concentrated in the evening. At this time, there are more flowers leaving the warehouse. In order to improve the outbound efficiency, a large number of roller conveyors can be adjusted to reverse conveying. The forward and reverse conveying can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual working conditions, which can effectively avoid congestion during the entry or exit of flowers and improve the entry and exit management efficiency of flowers.

[0053] Reference Figure 8 The interior of the warehouse 4 is provided with a plurality of shelves 47 aligned with the workbenches, and every two rows of shelves 47 correspond to a workbench, and a stacker 48 for storing and retrieving flower barrels is provided between adjacent workbenches. The stacker 48 slides along the guide rails inside the warehouse 4, and 2-3 groups of working arms are provided on the stacker 48, which can store and retrieve multiple flower barrels at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of warehousing management. In addition, a laser ranging sensor is also installed on the stacker 48. During the movement inside the warehouse 4, the position of the stacker 48 is accurately controlled by laser ranging, so that the working arm can accurately place the flower barrels on the standard cargo position on the shelf 47, or accurately transport the flower barrels on the shelf 47.

[0054] In another implementation process, in order to improve the safety inside the warehouse 4, when the shelves 47 in the same row are long, the shelves 47 in the same row are grouped into 5-10m, and a pedestrian walkway is set between two adjacent groups of shelves 47 in the same row, and laser sensors are installed on both sides of the pedestrian walkway. When the stacker 48 moves along the track, if a staff member is arranging flowers on the shelf 47 on the route of the stacker 48, when the stacker 48 is found, the staff member can quickly hide in the pedestrian walkway. When entering the pedestrian walkway, the laser sensor will be triggered, and the stacker 48 will be controlled by the storage system to stop urgently, thereby improving the safety of the staff inside the warehouse 4 and effectively preventing the staff from being hit by the stacker 48.

[0055] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The shipping workshop 5 includes a self-pickup area 51 and a logistics area 52. A plurality of shipping chutes 511 are arranged inside the shipping workshop 5. One end of the shipping chute 511 is connected to the flower outbound line 42, and the other end of the shipping chute 511 is connected to an empty barrel conveyor line 53. The empty barrel conveyor line 53 is connected to the inbound conveyor line 41. The empty flower barrels are conveyed to the cleaning workshop 6 for cleaning and then put into storage.

One end of the shipping branch line 54 is connected to the flower outbound line 42, and the other end of the shipping branch line 54 is connected to the empty barrel conveyor line 53.

[0056] After receiving the order, there are two delivery processes. One is self-pickup delivery. The flowers in the warehouse 4 are transported to the inside of the self-pickup area 51 through the flower outbound line 42, and transferred to the delivery chute 511 through the cross-line machine. The customer goes to the self-pickup area 51 to ship the flowers. After that, the empty flower barrels are moved to the empty barrel conveyor line 53 through the other end of the delivery chute 511, and are transported to the cleaning workshop 6 for cleaning through the empty barrel conveyor line 53; the other is logistics delivery. The flowers in the warehouse 4 are transported to the delivery branch line 54 through the flower outbound line 42, and are transported to the logistics area 52 through the delivery branch line 54. The staff packs and ships the flowers. After that, the empty flower barrels are transported to the empty barrel conveyor line 53 through the delivery branch line 54, and are transported to the cleaning workshop 6 for cleaning.

[0057] In the further implementation process, a cross-line machine is installed between the incoming conveyor line 41 and the flower outgoing line 42. After the flowers are graded at the grading equipment 24, the flower information has been uploaded to the network for customers to place orders. If the flowers on the incoming conveyor line 41 have been ordered during the warehousing process, the flowers can be directly transferred to the flower outgoing line 42 for delivery through the cross-line machine after being qualified by the inspection workshop 3, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of the flowers.

[0058] Reference Fig.11A slag removal area and a cleaning area are provided inside the cleaning workshop 6. After the flowers are taken out of the warehouse, the flower barrels are transported to the cleaning workshop 6 for cleaning through the empty barrel conveyor line 53. Since some branches and leaves of the flowers will fall into the flower barrels during the process of entering and leaving the warehouse, the flower barrels are first transported to the slag removal area, and the slag removal is carried out by a slag dumper. The water mixed with leaves in the flower barrels is dumped and discharged. After that, the flower barrels are transported to the cleaning area, and the flower barrels are further cleaned and disinfected by an automatic cleaning machine. After the flower barrels are cleaned, they are transported to the storage conveyor line 41 through the empty barrel conveyor line 53 for storage processing.

[0059] During the specific implementation process, if the empty flower barrels are urgently needed in the sorting workshop 2, the empty flower barrels on the warehousing conveyor line 41 can be transported to the empty barrel branch line 431 through the cross-line machine, and the cleaned empty flower barrels are directly transported to the empty barrel outbound line 43 through the empty barrel branch line 431, and are directly transported to the sorting workshop 2 for use after being filled with water in the filling workshop 7, thereby avoiding the warehousing processing of the empty flower barrels, thereby improving the warehousing processing efficiency of flowers.

[0060] Reference Fig.12 , there are multiple blockers on the empty barrel outbound line 43. In this embodiment, there are 5 blockers on the empty barrel outbound line 43. The first blocker is set at the entrance of the filling workshop 7 to control the number of flower barrels entering the filling workshop 7. An automatic filling machine is installed inside the filling workshop 7 to fill the empty flower barrels with water. The second blocker is set at the entrance of the automatic filling machine. According to the specifications of the automatic filling machine, the number of empty flower barrels is controlled to be 4 or 8 per group for group transportation. The third blocker is set at the exit of the automatic filling machine to control the empty flower barrels inside the automatic filling machine. The flower barrels are blocked to facilitate the injection of water into the empty flower barrels. When the empty flower barrels are transported to the filling workshop 7, the water with nutrient solution can be injected into multiple empty flower barrels at the same time, so that the water has a higher filling efficiency and the transportation efficiency of the empty flower barrels is improved. There are also two blockers set in the filling workshop 7 and the sorting workshop 2, which are used to control the number of empty flower barrels entering the sorting workshop 2 to avoid excessive congestion of empty flower barrels at the entrance of the sorting workshop 2, and the number of empty flower barrels can be controlled to 4 or 8 as a group for group transportation, which is convenient for the blocker on the sorting branch line 23 to further group and control the empty flower barrels.

[0061] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: during the process of warehousing flowers, the supplier places the flower baskets with flowers on the flower basket conveyor line 11, and conveys them to each sorting slide 21 through the flower basket conveyor line 11. Each sorting branch line 23 has 4 flower barrels at the same time. The staff in the sorting workshop 2 puts the flowers into different flower barrels according to the characteristics of the flowers, puts the empty flower baskets into the return basket branch line 22 and returns to the receiving workshop 1 through the flower basket conveyor line 11. In the receiving workshop 1, the weight detector 12 and the out-of-basket slide 1 are used to check the weight of the flowers. 3, the empty flower baskets are removed from the flower basket conveyor line 11, and the flower barrels filled with flowers are conveyed to the grading equipment 24 through the sorting branch line 23 for grading, and the information of the flowers is entered into the QR code on the flower barrel. After that, the flowers are conveyed to the inspection workshop 3 for inspection through the storage conveyor line 41. If the first inspection position 31 is qualified, they are directly conveyed to the warehouse 4 for storage. If the size of the flower is too long, it is conveyed to the pruning processing line 32 for manual pruning, and after passing the re-inspection at the second inspection position 33, it is conveyed to the warehouse 4 for storage; When the flowers are shipped out of the warehouse, according to the flower information of the order, the stacker 48 transports the flower barrels on the shelf 47 to the outbound branch line 46, and then transports them to the flower outbound line 42 through the outbound branch line 46, and then transports them to the delivery workshop 5 through the flower outbound line 42 for delivery processing. If it is self-pickup delivery, the flower barrels are transported to the delivery slide 511 for customers to ship. If it is express delivery, the flower barrels are transported to the logistics area 52 through the delivery branch line 54, and the flowers are packed and shipped. After delivery, the empty flower barrels are transported to the cleaning workshop 6 through the empty barrel conveyor line 53 for slag removal and cleaning, and then transported to the inbound conveyor line 41 after cleaning, so that the empty flower barrels can be stored in the warehouse; When the empty flower barrels are supplied, the stacker 48 transports the empty flower barrels on the shelf 47 to the outbound branch line 46, and then transports them to the empty barrel outbound line 43 through the outbound branch line 46. On the empty barrel outbound line 43, the empty flower barrels are controlled to be transported in groups of 4 or 8 by a blocker. When the empty flower barrels are transported to the filling workshop 7, water containing nutrient solution is injected into the empty flower barrels by an automatic filling machine. After the water is injected, the empty flower barrels are transported to the sorting branch line inside the sorting workshop 2. 23, and on the sorting branch line 23, 4 empty flower barrels are controlled as a group by a blocker to facilitate the sorting and processing of flowers. During the transportation of the empty flower barrels, if the sorting workshop 2 urgently needs empty flower barrels, the empty flower barrels on the storage conveying line 41 are transported to the empty barrel branch line 431 through the cross-line machine, and the cleaned empty flower barrels are directly transported to the empty barrel outgoing line 43 through the empty barrel branch line 431, thereby reducing the storage links of the empty flower barrels and improving the supply efficiency of the empty flower barrels.

[0062] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
