Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fresh flower warehousing and outbound management, and particularly to a multi-line closed-loop fresh flower warehousing and outbound management system. Background Art

[0002] During the process of receiving goods in a flower wholesale market, the flowers are selected and graded according to their characteristics and then uniformly transported to a warehouse for storage, so as to facilitate the centralized auction of the flowers and the centralized delivery of the flowers after the auction.

[0003] In the prior art, when managing the warehousing and delivery of fresh flowers, a one-way transportation line is usually adopted to manage the incoming flowers. Closed-loop management cannot be achieved in the links of receiving goods, sorting, grading, delivering goods, empty bucket supply, etc. When the processing volume of fresh flowers in the receiving or delivering goods link is large, it is easy to have a shortage of empty bucket supply, and a transportation line blockage is caused in one of the links, reducing the warehousing or outbound efficiency of fresh flowers, and a large amount of manual assistance is required, resulting in low operation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-line closed-loop fresh flower warehousing and outbound management system, which realizes closed-loop management in the links of receiving goods, supplying goods, empty bucket supply, etc., and can be flexibly adjusted to avoid congestion of the transportation line and improve the operation efficiency.

[0005] A multi-line closed-loop fresh flower warehousing and outbound management system includes a receiving workshop, a sorting workshop, an inspection workshop, a warehouse, a shipping workshop, a cleaning workshop and a filling workshop, and further includes:

[0006] A flower basket conveyor line, the receiving workshop is connected to the sorting workshop through the flower basket conveyor line, the flower basket containing flowers is transported from the receiving workshop to the sorting workshop through the flower basket conveyor line, the flowers are put into flower buckets after sorting and grading, and the empty flower baskets are transported back to the receiving workshop through the flower basket conveyor line;

[0007] An inbound conveyor line, the sorting workshop is connected to the warehouse through the inbound conveyor line, the flowers in the flower buckets are transported to the inspection workshop by the inbound conveyor line for size inspection and trimmed to be qualified and then stored in the warehouse;

[0008] A flower outbound line, the warehouse is connected to the shipping workshop through the flower outbound line, the inbound flowers are transported to the shipping workshop for delivery through the flower outbound line, and the empty flower buckets after delivery are transported to the warehouse for storage through the inbound conveyor line after being cleaned in the cleaning workshop;

[0009] An empty bucket outbound line, the warehouse is connected to the sorting workshop through the empty bucket outbound line, the empty flower buckets are transported to the filling workshop through the empty bucket outbound line for water injection and then enter the sorting workshop for use;

[0010] There is an empty barrel branch line between the incoming conveyor line and the empty barrel outgoing line, which can directly convey the cleaned empty flower barrels to the empty barrel outgoing line.

[0011] At the entrance of the warehouse, there are multiple parallel conveyor lines parallel and adjacent to the incoming conveyor line, the flower outgoing line or the empty barrel outgoing line. There are cross-line machines on the parallel conveyor lines for moving flower barrels to the incoming conveyor line, the flower outgoing line, the empty barrel outgoing line or another parallel conveyor line.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, through the mutual cooperation of the flower basket conveyor line, the incoming conveyor line, the flower outgoing line and the empty barrel outgoing line, efficient closed-loop conveying is achieved in multiple links such as flower receiving, flower incoming and outgoing, and empty barrel supply, improving the incoming and supply efficiency of empty flower barrels. And through the mutual cooperation of the empty barrel branch line and the parallel conveyor lines, flexible diversion is carried out according to actual needs to adapt to the incoming and outgoing peaks at different times, effectively avoiding congestion of the conveyor lines and improving the incoming and outgoing management efficiency of fresh flowers.

[0013] The present invention is further configured as: inside the receiving workshop, there are a weight detector and an out-basket chute. The weight detector is arranged on the flower basket conveyor line to detect the weight of the flower baskets, and the detected empty flower baskets are removed from the flower basket conveyor line through the out-basket chute.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, since there will be both empty flower baskets and newly placed full flower baskets on the flower basket conveyor line in the receiving workshop, the weight detector can detect the weight of the flower baskets on the flower basket conveyor line. If it is an empty flower basket, it is removed from the flower basket conveyor line through the out-basket chute, facilitating the continuous conveyance of the flower baskets by the flower basket conveyor line to the sorting workshop.

[0015] The present invention is further configured as: inside the sorting workshop, there are multiple sorting chutes and a basket-return branch line. The sorting chutes are connected to one end of the flower basket conveyor line to form multiple sorting areas for sorting the flowers, and the basket-return branch line is connected to the other end of the flower basket conveyor line to re-convey the empty flower baskets to the receiving workshop.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, during the receiving process, the flower baskets on the flower basket conveyor line can be diverted to different sorting areas, avoiding congestion of the flower basket conveyor line while facilitating the sorting work of the staff in the sorting workshop.

[0017] The present invention is further configured as: inside the sorting workshop, there are multiple sorting branch lines. One end of the sorting branch line is connected to the empty barrel conveyor line to convey the empty flower barrels into the sorting workshop for standby, the other end of the sorting branch line is connected to the incoming conveyor line to store the flower barrels in the warehouse, and there is a grading device for grading according to flower characteristics on the sorting branch line.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the grading device can grade the flowers in the flower barrels according to the flower characteristics, and input the flower information into the system, so as to facilitate the informatization management of the incoming and outgoing of flowers and trace the flow of flowers.

[0019] The present invention is further configured as: inside the inspection workshop, there is a trimming processing line connected to the incoming conveyor line. At the entrance of the inspection workshop of the incoming conveyor line, there is a first detection position for detecting the size of the flowers. The flowers exceeding the size after being detected at the first detection position are conveyed to the trimming processing line for trimming. At the end of the trimming processing line, there is a second detection position. After the trimmed flowers are re-inspected and qualified at the second detection position, they are conveyed back to the incoming conveyor line.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the size of the flowers is detected by the first detection position and the second detection position, and the flowers exceeding the size are trimmed manually, which can ensure that the sizes of the flowers in the flower barrels are unified and facilitate storage in the warehouse.

[0021] The present invention is further configured as: inside the warehouse, there are multiple workbenches. Inside the workbenches, there are incoming branch lines and outgoing branch lines distributed adjacently. The incoming branch lines are connected to the incoming conveyor line through a crossover machine, and the outgoing branch lines are connected to the flower outgoing line or the empty barrel outgoing line through a crossover machine.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the flower barrels to be incoming or outgoing can be diverted through the incoming branch lines and the outgoing branch lines, so as to improve the incoming and outgoing efficiency of the flower barrels.

[0023] The present invention is further configured as: inside the warehouse, there are multiple shelves aligned with the workbenches. Between adjacent workbenches, there is a stacker for storing and retrieving the flower barrels.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the stacker can batch-convey the flower barrels on the workbenches to the shelves, or convey the flower barrels on the shelves to the workbenches, so as to facilitate the incoming and outgoing management of the flower barrels.

[0025] The present invention is further configured as: the shipping workshop includes a self-pickup area and a logistics area. Inside the shipping workshop, there are multiple shipping chutes. One end of the shipping chutes is connected to the flower outgoing line, and the other end is connected to an empty barrel conveyor line. The empty barrel conveyor line is connected to the incoming conveyor line to convey the empty flower barrels to the cleaning workshop for cleaning and then storing in the warehouse. Inside the logistics area, there is an outgoing branch line connected to the self-pickup area. One end of the outgoing branch line is connected to the flower outgoing line, and the other end is connected to the empty barrel conveyor line.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, self-pickup and delivery or logistics delivery can be carried out according to customer needs through the self-pickup area and the logistics area, realizing delivery management between areas, improving delivery efficiency, and enabling unified cleaning and management of the empty barrels after delivery.

[0027] The present invention is further configured as: it further includes an alternative supply area, and the alternative supply area is connected to the sorting workshop through an alternative supply line.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the alternative supply area can share the receiving pressure at the receiving workshop and avoid internal congestion in the receiving workshop.

[0029] The present invention is further configured as: a plurality of stoppers are provided on both the empty barrel outbound line and the sorting branch line to control the number of each group of flower barrels for grouped transportation, and the number of each group of flower barrels is 4 - 8.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, by controlling the flower barrels in groups, it is convenient for the staff in the sorting workshop to store the flowers separately.

[0031] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] Through the mutual cooperation of the flower basket conveying line, the inbound conveying line, the flower outbound line, and the empty barrel outbound line, efficient closed-loop conveying is achieved in multiple links such as flower receiving, flower inbound and outbound, and empty barrel supply, improving the inbound and supply efficiency of the flower barrels. During the empty barrel supply process, through the empty barrel branch line, the cleaned empty flower barrels can be directly conveyed from the inbound conveying line to the empty barrel outbound line, avoiding the empty barrel inbound link and effectively improving the empty barrel supply efficiency;

[0033] By setting multiple groups of parallel conveying lines in cooperation with the cross-line machine, flexible diversion can be carried out according to actual needs to adapt to the inbound and outbound peaks at different times, effectively avoiding congestion of the conveying line and improving the inbound and outbound management efficiency of fresh flowers;

[0034] By setting a weight detector and an out-basket chute on the flower basket conveying line, the empty flower baskets on the flower basket conveying line can be detected and the empty flower baskets can be removed from the flower basket conveying line. While facilitating the supplier to retrieve the flower baskets, it is convenient for the flower basket conveying line to continuously convey the full-load flower baskets to the sorting workshop.

[0035] By carrying out grouped transportation of the empty flower barrels on the empty barrel outbound line and the sorting branch line, the perfusion workshop can inject water into multiple empty flower barrels simultaneously, with relatively high perfusion efficiency, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the empty flower barrels. When sorting the flowers on the sorting branch line, it is convenient for the staff to put the flowers into different flower barrels for storage according to the flower characteristics.

[0049] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Reference Figures 1 - 12 , a multi - line closed - loop fresh flower warehousing and outbound management system disclosed by the present invention, includes a receiving workshop 1, a sorting workshop 2, an inspection workshop 3, a warehouse 4, a shipping workshop 5, a cleaning workshop 6 and a filling workshop 7, and further includes:

[0051] A flower basket conveyor line 11, the receiving workshop 1 is connected to the sorting workshop 2 through the flower basket conveyor line 11. The flower baskets filled with flowers are conveyed from the receiving workshop 1 to the sorting workshop 2 through the flower basket conveyor line 11. After the flowers are sorted and graded, they are put into flower buckets, and the empty flower baskets are conveyed back to the receiving workshop 1 through the flower basket conveyor line 11. When the fresh flower market conducts receiving management, the suppliers will convey the self - brought flower baskets to the sorting workshop 2 through the flower basket conveyor line 11. After the staff in the sorting workshop 2 sort the flowers, the empty flower baskets can be conveyed back to the receiving workshop 1 through the other end of the flower basket conveyor line 11. A closed - loop conveyance of the flower baskets is realized between the receiving workshop 1 and the sorting workshop 2 through the flower basket conveyor line 11, which is convenient for the suppliers to retrieve the self - brought flower baskets;

[0052] An inbound conveyor line 41, the sorting workshop 2 is connected to the warehouse 4 through the inbound conveyor line 41. The flowers in the flower buckets are conveyed by the inbound conveyor line 41 to the inspection workshop 3 for size inspection and after being trimmed qualified, they enter the warehouse 4 for storage;

[0053] A flower outbound line 42, the warehouse 4 is connected to the shipping workshop 5 through the flower outbound line 42. The inbound flowers are conveyed by the flower outbound line 42 to the shipping workshop 5 for shipping. After shipping, the empty flower buckets are cleaned in the cleaning workshop 6 and then conveyed to the warehouse 4 for storage through the inbound conveyor line 41;

[0054] An empty bucket outbound line 43, the warehouse 4 is connected to the sorting workshop 2 through the empty bucket outbound line 43. The empty flower buckets are conveyed by the empty bucket outbound line 43 to the filling workshop 7 for water injection and then enter the sorting workshop 2 for use;

[0055] An empty bucket branch line 431 capable of directly conveying the cleaned empty flower buckets to the empty bucket outbound line 43 is provided between the inbound conveyor line 41 and the empty bucket outbound line 43. When there are more flowers during the receiving process, the cleaned empty buckets can be directly conveyed to the empty bucket outbound line 43 through the empty bucket branch line 431 and then conveyed to the sorting workshop 2 for use through the empty bucket outbound line 43, avoiding the inbound processing link of the empty buckets and improving the processing efficiency of the flowers;

[0056] At the entrance of Warehouse 4, there are multiple parallel conveyor lines 44 arranged adjacent to and in parallel with the inbound conveyor line 41, the flower outbound conveyor line 42, or the empty barrel outbound conveyor line 43. The parallel conveyor lines 44 can be arranged in parallel in the horizontal or vertical direction. The number of parallel conveyor lines 44 used can be flexibly selected according to the actual working conditions. In addition, the conveying direction of the parallel conveyor lines 44 can be adjusted forward and backward. There is a cross-line machine on the parallel conveyor lines 44 for the flower barrels to move to the inbound conveyor line 41, the flower outbound conveyor line 42, the empty barrel outbound conveyor line 43, or another parallel conveyor line 44. When there are a large number of flowers during receiving, the parallel conveyor lines 44 are adjusted to convey forward, and cross-line processing is carried out between adjacent conveyor lines through the cross-line machine to divert the inbound flowers, which can avoid congestion on the inbound conveyor line 41, or adjust some of the parallel conveyor lines 44 to convey backward and cooperate with the empty barrel outbound conveyor line 43 to improve the outbound efficiency of empty flower barrels. When there are a large number of flowers to be shipped, the parallel conveyor lines 44 are adjusted to convey backward and cooperate with the flower outbound conveyor line 42 through the cross-line machine to improve the outbound efficiency when shipping flowers.

[0057] Efficient closed-loop conveying is achieved in multiple links such as flower receiving, flower inbound and outbound, and empty barrel supply. Through the mutual cooperation of multiple parallel conveyor lines 44 and the cross-line machine, flexible diversion adjustment is carried out according to actual needs to adapt to the inbound and outbound peaks at different times, effectively avoiding congestion on the conveyor lines and improving the inbound and outbound management efficiency of fresh flowers.

[0058] Refer to Figure 1 , the fresh flower inbound and outbound management system of the present invention further includes an alternative supply area 8. The alternative supply area 8 is connected to the sorting workshop 2 through an alternative supply line 81. The alternative supply area 8 can share the receiving pressure at the receiving workshop 1. When there are a large number of flowers in the receiving workshop 1, the alternative supply area 8 can be enabled for receiving, and the flowers are conveyed to the sorting workshop 2 through the alternative supply line 81 for grading.

[0059] Refer to Figure 3 , inside the receiving workshop 1, there is a weight detector 12 and a basket discharging chute 13. 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 discharging chute 13. Since the flower basket conveyor line 11 is in closed-loop conveying between the receiving workshop 1 and the sorting workshop 2, there will be both empty flower baskets and newly placed full flower baskets on the flower basket conveyor line 11 in the receiving workshop 1. The flower baskets on the flower basket conveyor line 11 can be detected through the weight detector 12. If it is an empty flower basket, the empty flower basket is taken to the basket discharging chute 13 through the cross-line machine and removed from the flower basket conveyor line 11 through the basket discharging chute 13.

[0060] Refer to Figure 3, there are multiple sorting chutes 21 and empty basket return branches 22 in the sorting workshop 2. The sorting chutes 21 are connected to one end of the flower basket conveyor line 11 to form multiple 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 5 sorting chutes 21 and 5 empty basket return branches 22, and they form 3 sorting areas in the sorting workshop 2. The empty basket return branches 22 are connected to the other end of the flower basket conveyor line 11 to re - convey the empty flower baskets to the receiving workshop 1. There are multiple cross - line machines on the flower basket conveyor line 11, which are respectively connected to the sorting chutes 21 and the empty basket return branches 22. In this embodiment, there are 10 cross - line machines on the flower basket conveyor line 11, and they are in one - to - one correspondence with the sorting chutes 21 and the empty basket return branches 22. During the receiving process, the flower baskets on the flower basket conveyor line 11 can be diverted to different sorting areas, thus avoiding congestion on the flower basket conveyor line 11 and facilitating the sorting work of the staff in the sorting workshop 2.

[0061] In the specific implementation process, in order to reduce space occupation, at the entrance of the sorting workshop 2, the two ends of the flower basket conveyor line 11 can be arranged parallel to each other vertically. Among them, the connection end of the flower basket conveyor line 11 and the sorting chute 21 is located below, which is convenient for the fully - loaded flower baskets to enter the sorting area through the sorting chute 21, and it is convenient for the staff in the sorting area to take the flowers in the flower baskets. The connection end of the flower basket conveyor line 11 and the empty basket return branch 22 is located above. After all the flowers in the flower basket are transferred to the inside of the flower bucket, the empty flower basket is placed on the empty basket return branch 22 and conveyed to the receiving workshop 1.

[0062] Refer to Figure 4 , there are multiple sorting branches 23 inside the sorting workshop 2. One end of the sorting branch 23 is connected to the empty bucket conveyor line 53 to convey the empty flower buckets into the sorting workshop 2 for standby. The sorting branches 23 inside the sorting workshop 2 are arranged below the empty basket return branches 22 and are distributed parallel to the sorting chutes 21, which is convenient for the staff to transfer the flowers in the flower baskets to the inside of the flower buckets. The other end of the sorting branch 23 is connected to the storage - in conveyor line 41 to store the flower buckets in the warehouse. There is a grading device 24 for grading according to the flower characteristics on the sorting branch 23.

[0063] In the specific implementation process, multiple blockers are installed on the sorting branch line 23. In this embodiment, the sorting branch line 23 has 3 blockers. The blocker includes 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 buckets on the sorting branch line 23. One of the blockers is used to limit the flower buckets from entering the sorting workshop 2 through the sorting branch line 23. Another blocker controls the number of flower buckets moving near the sorting slideway 21 and sets 4 flower buckets as a group. When sorting flowers, it is convenient for the staff to separately store the flowers in different flower buckets according to factors such as the variety, size, color or growth degree of the flowers. There is also a blocker used to control the number of flower buckets 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 buckets through a high-definition industrial camera, and grades the flowers according to the grading criteria set by the system. Then, the grading information and flower pictures of the flowers are entered into the QR code on the flower bucket, so as to facilitate customers to purchase the flowers on the network side and facilitate rapid shipment after sales.

[0064] Refer to Figure 5 , inside the inspection workshop 3, there is a trimming processing line 32 connected to the inbound conveyor line 41. Both ends of the trimming processing line 32 are connected to the inbound conveyor line 41. The inbound conveyor line 41 is provided with a first detection position 31 for detecting the size of the flowers at the entrance of the inspection workshop 3. After being detected by the first detection position 31, the flowers that exceed the size are transported to the trimming processing line 32 for trimming. The end of the trimming processing line 32 is provided with a second detection position 33. After the trimmed flowers pass the re-inspection at the second detection position 33 and are qualified, they are re-transported to the inbound conveyor line 41. By detecting the size of the flowers through the first detection position 31 and the second detection position 33 and manually trimming the flowers that exceed the size, the size of the flowers in the flower buckets can be ensured to be uniform and it is convenient to store them in the shelves 47 of the warehouse 4.

[0065] In the specific implementation process, at the first detection position 31, the size of the flowers in the flower buckets is detected through an infrared sensor or a laser sensor, and it is determined whether the size of the flowers is qualified. If it is qualified, it continues to be transported to the warehouse 4 for storage through the inbound conveyor line 41. If the flowers exceed the size of the flower buckets too much, it is determined as unqualified and is transferred to the trimming processing line 32 through a lane-changing gate plate. The flowers that exceed the size are manually trimmed, and the size of the flowers is re-inspected at the end of the trimming processing line 32 through the second detection position 33. If it is qualified, it is re-transported onto the inbound conveyor line 41. If it is unqualified, it is manually trimmed again.

[0066] Refer to Figures 6 - 8, there are multiple workbenches in Warehouse 4. The number of workbenches is flexibly set according to the area of Warehouse 4. In this embodiment, there are 10 workbenches inside Warehouse 4. Inside the workbenches, there are adjacent inbound branch lines 45 and outbound branch lines 46. The inbound branch line 45 is connected to the inbound conveyor line 41 through a crossover machine, and the outbound branch line 46 is connected to the flower outbound line 42 or the empty barrel outbound line 43 through a crossover machine. When flowers are being stored in the warehouse, through the cooperation of multiple inbound branch lines 45, the flower barrels on the inbound conveyor line 41 can be quickly diverted, facilitating the transportation of flowers to different workbenches for storage. When outbound, through the cooperation of multiple inbound branch lines 45, the flower barrels can be quickly transported to the flower outbound line 42 or the empty barrel outbound line 43, improving the outbound efficiency.

[0067] In another implementation process, both the inbound branch line 45 and the outbound branch line 46 adopt reversible roller conveyors. When adjusted to forward conveyance, it can be used as the inbound branch line 45 for flower storage. When adjusted to reverse conveyance, it can be used as the outbound branch line 46 for flower outbound. Thus, the forward and reverse conveyance can be adjusted according to the outbound and inbound quantities of flowers. In the specific implementation process, since the receipt and storage of flowers mostly occur in the early morning when there are more flowers being received, to improve the inbound efficiency, a large number of roller conveyors can be adjusted to forward conveyance. The shipment of flowers mostly occurs in the evening when there are more flowers being shipped out. To improve the outbound efficiency, a large number of roller conveyors can be adjusted to reverse conveyance. By flexibly adjusting the forward and reverse conveyance according to the actual working conditions, congestion during the inbound or outbound process of flowers can be effectively avoided, improving the management efficiency of flower inbound and outbound.

[0068] Refer to Figure 8 , there are multiple shelves 47 inside Warehouse 4 that are aligned with the workbenches, and every two columns of shelves 47 correspond to one workbench. There is a stacker 48 for accessing flower barrels between adjacent workbenches. The stacker 48 slides along the guide rails inside Warehouse 4, and there are 2 - 3 sets of working arms on the stacker 48, which can access multiple flower barrels simultaneously, improving the management efficiency of inbound and outbound. In addition, a laser distance sensor is installed on the stacker 48. During the movement inside Warehouse 4, the position of the stacker 48 is precisely controlled through laser ranging, so that the working arms can accurately place the flower barrels on the standard storage positions on the shelves 47 or precisely carry the flower barrels on the shelves 47.

[0069] In another implementation process, to improve the safety inside the warehouse 4, when the shelves 47 in the same column are relatively long, the shelves 47 in the same column are grouped in sets of 5 - 10 m, and a pedestrian aisle is set between two adjacent sets of shelves 47 in the same column. Laser sensors are installed on both sides of the pedestrian aisle. When the stacker crane 48 travels along the track, if there are staff members organizing the flowers on the shelves 47 on the travel route of the stacker crane 48, they can quickly take shelter in the pedestrian aisle when they notice the stacker crane 48. When entering the pedestrian aisle, it will trigger the laser sensor, and the stacker crane 48 will be controlled by the warehousing system to stop urgently, improving the safety of the staff inside the warehouse 4 and effectively preventing the staff from being injured by the stacker crane 48.

[0070] Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the shipping workshop 5 includes a self - pick - up area 51 and a logistics area 52. Inside the shipping workshop 5, there are multiple shipping chutes 511. 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, and the empty flower barrels are transported to the cleaning workshop 6 for cleaning and then stored in the warehouse. Inside the logistics area 52, there is a shipping branch line 54 connected to the self - pick - up area 51. 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.

[0071] After receiving an order, there are two shipping processes. One is self - pick - up shipping. The flowers in the warehouse 4 are transported to the inside of the self - pick - up area 51 through the flower outbound line 42 and then transferred to the shipping chute 511 by a crossover machine. The customer picks up the flowers at the self - pick - up area 51. After that, the empty flower barrels move to the empty barrel conveyor line 53 through the other end of the shipping chute 511 and are transported to the cleaning workshop 6 for cleaning by the empty barrel conveyor line 53. The other is logistics shipping. The flowers in the warehouse 4 are transported to the shipping branch line 54 through the flower outbound line 42 and then transported to the logistics area 52 by the shipping branch line 54 for the staff to pack and ship the flowers. After that, the empty flower barrels are transported to the empty barrel conveyor line 53 by the shipping branch line 54 and are transported to the cleaning workshop 6 for cleaning by the empty barrel conveyor line 53.

[0072] In a further implementation process, there is a crossover machine between the inbound conveyor line 41 and the flower outbound line 42. Since the flower information has been uploaded to the network for customers to place orders after the flowers are graded at the grading equipment 24, if the flowers on the inbound conveyor line 41 have been ordered during the inbound process and pass the inspection in the inspection workshop 3, they can be directly transferred to the flower outbound line 42 for shipping through the crossover machine, improving the shipping efficiency of the flowers.

[0073] Refer to Figure 11, the interior of the cleaning workshop 6 is provided with a slag cleaning area and a cleaning area. After the flowers are taken out of the warehouse, the flower barrels are transported to the interior of the cleaning workshop 6 through the empty barrel conveyor line 53 for cleaning. Since some branches and leaves will fall into the flower barrels during the process of taking the flowers in and out of the warehouse, the flower barrels are first transported to the slag cleaning area and the slag is removed through a slag dumping machine. The water body mixed with leaves in the flower barrels is poured out. After that, the flower barrels are transported to the cleaning area and further cleaned and disinfected by an automatic cleaning machine. After the flower barrels are cleaned, the empty flower barrels are transported to the warehousing conveyor line 41 through the empty barrel conveyor line 53 for warehousing.

[0074] In the specific implementation process, if there is an urgent need for empty flower barrels 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 a 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 then directly transported to the sorting workshop 2 for use after being filled with water in the filling workshop 7, avoiding the warehousing process of the empty flower barrels and improving the warehousing efficiency of the flowers.

[0075] Refer to Figure 12 , there are multiple stoppers on the empty barrel outbound line 43. In this embodiment, there are 5 stoppers on the empty barrel outbound line 43. The first stopper is set at the entrance of the filling workshop 7 and is used 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 stopper 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 in a group for grouped transportation. The third stopper is set at the exit of the automatic filling machine and is used to block the empty flower barrels inside the automatic filling machine to facilitate filling water into the empty flower barrels. When the empty flower barrels are transported to the filling workshop 7, the water body equipped with nutrient solution can be injected into multiple empty flower barrels at the same time, making the water injection have a higher efficiency and improving the transportation efficiency of the empty flower barrels. There are also two stoppers set between the filling workshop 7 and the sorting workshop 2 to control the number of empty flower barrels entering the sorting workshop 2, avoiding overcrowding of the empty flower barrels at the entrance of the sorting workshop 2, and the number of empty flower barrels can be controlled to be 4 or 8 in a group for grouped transportation, facilitating further grouped regulation of the empty flower barrels by the stoppers on the sorting branch line 23.

[0076] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During the process of flower storage, the supplier places the flower baskets containing flowers on the flower basket conveyor line 11 and transports them to each sorting chute 21 through the flower basket conveyor line 11. There are 4 flower barrels on each sorting branch line 23. The staff in the sorting workshop 2 place the flowers into different flower barrels according to the flower characteristics, and put the empty flower baskets into the return basket branch line 22 to flow back to the receiving workshop 1 through the flower basket conveyor line 11. In the receiving workshop 1, the empty flower baskets are removed from the flower basket conveyor line 11 through the cooperation of the weight detector 12 and the basket exit chute 13. The flower barrels containing flowers are transported 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. Then, the flowers are transported to the inspection workshop 3 through the storage conveyor line 41 for inspection. If the inspection is qualified at the first inspection position 31, they are directly transported to the warehouse 4 for storage. If the flower size is too long, they are transported to the trimming line 32 for manual trimming, and after passing the re-inspection at the second inspection position 33, they are transported to the warehouse 4 for storage;

[0077] When the flowers are shipped out, according to the ordered flower information, the stacker 48 transports the flower barrels on the shelf 47 to the outbound branch line 46, and transports them to the flower outbound line 42 through the outbound branch line 46, and then transports them to the shipping workshop 5 through the flower outbound line 42 for shipping processing. If it is self-pickup shipping, the flower barrel is transported to the shipping chute 511 for the customer to load. If it is express shipping, the flower barrel is transported to the logistics area 52 through the outbound branch line 54, and the flowers are packed and shipped. After shipping, the empty flower barrels are transported to the cleaning workshop 6 through the empty barrel conveyor line 53 for slag dumping and cleaning, and after cleaning, they are transported to the storage conveyor line 41 for convenient storage of the empty flower barrels;

[0078] When supplying empty flower barrels, the stacker 48 transports the empty flower barrels on the shelf 47 to the outbound branch line 46, and 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 the stopper. When the empty flower barrels are transported to the perfusion workshop 7, the automatic perfusion machine injects the water body equipped with nutrient solution into the empty flower barrels. After injection, they are transported to the sorting branch line 23 inside the sorting workshop 2, and on the sorting branch line 23, the stopper controls 4 empty flower barrels as a group to facilitate the sorting 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 conveyor line 41 are transported to the empty barrel branch line 431 through the crossover machine, and the cleaned empty flower barrels are directly transported to the empty barrel outbound line 43 through the empty barrel branch line 431, reducing the inbound link of the empty flower barrels and improving the supply efficiency of the empty flower barrels.

[0079] The embodiments of the specific implementation manners are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention shall be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
