The first conveyor line 31 transports the empty pallet stack to the demolding operation area 41 for demolding and then use. The manipulator 42 places the grabbed finished products on the empty pallet for subsequent transportation of the finished products.

[0049] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the first - floor outbound platform 211 and the production area 6 are both provided with pallet stackers 9, and the pallet stackers 9 are used for automatically stacking empty pallets.

[0050] In this embodiment, the implementation principle of the intelligent beverage warehousing and outbound system is as follows: When there are auxiliary materials incoming for warehousing, the third outbound group 5 conducts the warehousing of auxiliary materials; when auxiliary materials need to be outbounded for supply to the production area 6, the inbound group 7 conducts the outbound of auxiliary materials; when the finished product stacks completed in the production area 6 need to be warehoused, the inbound group 7 conducts the warehousing of finished products; when finished products need to be outbounded, based on the outbound quantity situation, the first outbound group 3, the second outbound group 4 or the third outbound group 5 is adaptively selected for the outbound of finished products; when there are external incoming empty pallets or the empty pallet stacks recycled from the first-layer outbound platform 211 need to be warehoused, the third outbound group 5 conducts the warehousing of empty pallet stacks; when the empty pallet stacks recycled from the production area 6 need to be warehoused, the inbound group 7 conducts the warehousing of empty pallet stacks; when the empty pallet stacks need to be outbounded, the stacker 11 and the first conveyor line 31 conduct the outbound of empty pallet stacks. The intelligent beverage warehousing and outbound system of this application saves floor space through the configuration of the finished product warehouse 1, the production area 6 and the packaging material warehouse 8; through the settings of the third outbound group 5 and the inbound group 7, the smooth interconnection and flow of various materials such as the rapid warehousing of line-end finished products and the continuous supply of auxiliary materials in the factory are realized; through the settings of the first outbound group 3, the second outbound group 4 and the third outbound group 5, it can adaptively respond to different outbound requirements and improve the warehousing and outbound efficiency.

[0051] As Figure 6 shown, this application also discloses an intelligent beverage warehousing and outbound method, based on the above-mentioned intelligent beverage warehousing and outbound system, including: Finished product warehousing: The automated warehousing control system receives the finished product warehousing request sent by the warehousing end; The automated warehousing control system executes the warehousing scheduling instruction, and the warehousing scheduling instruction is to control the second AGV vehicle 71, the fourth conveyor line 72, the second shuttle vehicle 74, the fifth conveyor line 75 and the stacker 11 to cooperate in sequence to transport the finished product stack to the designated storage location in the finished product warehouse 1.

[0052] Finished product outbound: The automated warehousing control system receives the finished product outbound request sent by the outbound end. The finished product outbound request contains information on the quantity of finished products to be outbounded. The information on the quantity of finished products to be outbounded includes the information on the quantity of whole stacks and the information on the quantity of loose pieces. Among them, the information on the quantity of loose pieces is the outbound quantity information less than the quantity of finished products in a whole stack of finished products; specifically, the information on the quantity of finished products to be outbounded is n stacks and m boxes, where n stacks is the information on the quantity of whole stacks and m boxes is the information on the quantity of loose pieces; The automated warehousing control system judges whether the quantity of loose pieces in the information on the quantity of loose pieces in the finished product outbound request is greater than zero; If yes, the automated warehouse control system executes the second dispatch instruction for the outbound demand of the bulk quantity information, and the second dispatch instruction is to control the first conveyor line 31 to transport a whole stack of finished products from the finished product warehouse 1 to the demolding operation area 41 and complete the demolding of the whole stack of finished products, control the manipulator 42 to grab the corresponding number of finished products to be outbound, control the first AGV vehicle 43 and the elevator 44 to transport the finished products to be outbound to the first-layer outbound platform 211 in sequence, and then continue to execute the next step; if no, directly execute the next step; The automated warehouse control system calculates the first estimated outbound delivery time required for the outbound delivery demand of the whole stack quantity information to be executed by the third scheduling instruction; The automated warehouse control system determines whether the first estimated delivery time is shorter than the planned time, where the planned time is the delivery time specified according to the order task; If so, the automated warehouse control system executes the third dispatch instruction for the outbound demand of the whole stack quantity information, and the third dispatch instruction is to control the second conveyor line 51, the first shuttle 52, the third conveyor line 53 and the first forklift 54 ​​to transport the finished products to be outbound to the logistics truck 10 in sequence; If not, the automated warehouse control system executes the first scheduling instruction for the outbound demand of the entire stack quantity information. The first scheduling instruction is to control the first conveyor line 31, the depalletizer 32, the dispersing conveyor 33, the screw conveyor 34 and the telescopic belt conveyor 35 to transport the finished products to be shipped out to the logistics truck 10 in sequence.

[0053] When the quantity of bulk in the bulk quantity information of the finished product outbound delivery request is greater than zero, a whole stack of finished products needs to be disassembled and a part of the finished products needs to be taken out during outbound delivery. The automated warehouse control system executes the second scheduling instruction to quickly grab the corresponding number of finished products to be shipped out and complete the bulk delivery. When the number of whole stacks is small or the planned duration is sufficient, the automated warehouse control system executes the third scheduling instruction to meet the outbound delivery task. When the third scheduling instruction cannot meet the outbound delivery demand, the automated warehouse control system executes the second scheduling instruction to quickly disassemble the finished product stacks, automatically break them up and load them. According to the difference between the outbound delivery quantity and the outbound delivery plan duration, the automated warehouse control system can select different adaptive scheduling instructions, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of warehousing and outbound delivery.

[0054] Preferably, the automated warehouse control system calculates the second estimated outbound delivery time required for the first scheduling instruction to execute the outbound delivery demand for the whole stack quantity information; The automated warehouse control system determines whether the second estimated delivery time is shorter than the planned time; If so, the automated warehouse control system executes a first dispatch instruction for the outbound demand of the whole stack quantity information; Otherwise, the automated warehousing control system executes the first scheduling instruction for the outbound demand of the full-stack quantity information within the planned duration, and simultaneously executes the third scheduling instruction for the remaining outbound finished products in the outbound demand of the full-stack quantity information that exceeds the planned duration.

[0055] When the outbound pressure is high and the second scheduling instruction cannot meet the outbound demand alone, the automated warehousing control system simultaneously executes the first scheduling instruction and the third scheduling instruction to conduct the outbound of the full-stack quantity information, thereby significantly reducing the outbound duration, meeting the outbound demand, and further improving the management efficiency of the warehousing system.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
