[0053] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0054] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a material distribution method based on a welding digital intelligent production line, and the intelligent production line material distribution method includes:

[0055] S1. Use LiDAR technology to collect terrain data in the workshop, generate point cloud data to draw the workshop status model, and scan the tooling vehicle after material picking to generate beat code.

[0056] In this embodiment, when using laser radar technology to collect terrain data in the workshop, generate point cloud data to draw a workshop status model, and scan the tooling vehicle after material picking to generate a beat code, you can choose a laser radar device suitable for the workshop environment, such as a 2D or 3D laser radar, determine the installation position of the laser radar to ensure that it can cover the entire workshop area, set the scanning range of the laser radar to ensure that it can cover all key areas of the workshop, set the frequency of data collection, and adjust it according to the needs of dynamic changes in the workshop. The collected point cloud data is stored in a local or cloud server, and the point cloud data is removed. Noise points, improve data quality, use filtering algorithms (such as voxel filtering, statistical filtering, etc.) to filter the point cloud data; separate the ground point cloud data from the non-ground point cloud data to facilitate subsequent obstacle detection and path planning, segment different objects in the point cloud data (such as equipment, tooling vehicles, material storage racks, etc.), use the point cloud data to generate a three-dimensional model of the workshop, including equipment layout, obstacle location, etc., optimize the generated three-dimensional model to ensure the accuracy and practicality of the model; convert the processed point cloud data into a workshop status model, including the physical layout and dynamic changes of the workshop.

[0057] It needs to be explained that, in specific applications, distribution documents can be prepared according to the existing rhythmic production method of the workstation system and the list of materials divided out in each project. The distribution documents include: station name, material code, material Chinese name, quantity, distribution method, form of transport tooling, material picture, and material placement method. Based on this, the materials required for each production station, the model of the tooling vehicle (material handling vehicle) for distributing materials at each station, and the material placement method of each tooling vehicle are confirmed, and the prepared distribution documents are imported into the distribution system; planners formulate production plans on the distribution system. The production plans include: project name, planned production date, rhythm, vehicle model, and the distribution system automatically generates distribution tasks based on the project, rhythm, vehicle model and other fields in the production plan and the background tooling information. When there are spare distribution tooling, the system automatically generates picking tasks based on the distribution tasks and pushes them to the sorting personnel.

[0058] The sorting personnel determine the delivery tooling according to the picking task and pick according to the platform material list, correctly place the materials on the tooling pad of the customized tooling vehicle, ensure that the type and quantity, placement and direction of the placed materials meet the requirements of the logistics list, and scan the tooling vehicle and materials after the picking is completed to bind them together and finally generate the beat code; the workshop will call the required tooling according to the production situation. After receiving the call task, the material handling vehicle will transport the full tooling with the specified tooling frame code to the full material rack at the access port of the bogie workshop to complete the delivery; when the workshop has empty tooling that needs to be taken back to the warehouse, the workshop clicks the empty frame button through the system to issue an instruction to generate an empty frame task. After receiving the task instruction, the material handling vehicle automatically retrieves the empty frame at the empty frame placement position in the workshop and transports it to the designated location in the warehouse.

[0059] At the same time, when the system automatically generates a task code label according to the list content, the task code label is a unique identifier, and the task code is associated with the tool vehicle type. Therefore, the sorting task directly generates the tool vehicle type, which is convenient for the sorting personnel to quickly identify and sort, determine the material list, and correspond the material list of each station to the tool vehicle type. A material list card is attached to each tool vehicle, and the three-dimensional view of the material tooling, the material picture, and the material quantity are marked on the card to facilitate the sorting personnel to sort and avoid material placement errors; at the same time, the materials are placed according to the workpiece placement diagram to facilitate the workshop production personnel to take the materials and improve the workshop operation efficiency. When using a handheld terminal to bind the tool vehicle to the material, the system has an automatic judgment function. If the material is placed in the wrong place or the tool vehicle is taken by the wrong place, there will be an error prompt, and the binding function can trace the distribution of materials and the use of the tool vehicle.

[0060] The workshop issues tasks to generate delivery tasks, and the material handling vehicle carries out delivery upon receiving the tasks. The delivery time is reasonably allocated, and materials are delivered on demand to avoid material congestion in the workshop. The transportation of materials by automated transfer devices effectively reduces the workload of delivery personnel. The entire transportation route adopts mixed traffic of people and vehicles, and the safety factor of delivery operations is improved by stopping obstacles. The overall transportation and sorting materials are large pieces with a high weight, which can be successfully transported and delivered unmanned, laying the foundation for improving the level of automated logistics distribution.

[0061] Furthermore, the material distribution purpose of the welding digital intelligent production line with the lean management and lean production line concepts can be realized. When picking materials in the warehouse, the material requirements of the production stations are subdivided, and the materials required for each station are placed on the material handling vehicle, which supplies them accurately according to the beat, and the tooling vehicle is delivered to the production workshop. This is truly unmanned distribution, which is convenient for workshop production operations, reduces material anomalies in the production process, and improves production efficiency. Information technology is used throughout the process to effectively control every process of material picking and every state of the tooling vehicle.

[0082] S243. The minimum transfer path distance is used as the optimization objective function and combined with the final population to model and generate a path optimization function with priority. The optimal point matrix is ​​obtained based on the output of the path optimization function to obtain the path points, and the path points are connected to obtain the delivery path of the delivery transfer vehicle.

[0083] Therefore, building a material distribution priority model based on the beat code and generating an optimized distribution path converts the complex original distribution task into a hierarchical demand indicator, which can ensure that time-critical materials are processed first. Combining the material distribution priority with the workshop status model ensures that the path planning can take into account the urgency of the distribution task and the actual situation of the workshop. Finally, the optimization scheduling algorithm is used to globally optimize the path to ensure the lowest cost distribution plan, reduce the driving time and energy consumption of the distribution transfer vehicle, and improve overall efficiency.
