[0090] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, when the production area 6 recovers the empty pallet stacks, the warehousing group 7 puts the empty pallet stacks into the warehouse, the second AGV vehicle 71 transports the empty pallet stacks recovered from the production area 6 to the fourth conveyor line 72, the second shuttle vehicle 74 transports the empty pallet stacks from the fourth conveyor line 72 to the fifth conveyor line 75, the fifth conveyor line 75 transports the empty pallet stacks to the stacker 11, and the stacker 11 puts the empty pallet stacks into the warehouse.

[0091] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the empty pallet stack is supplied, the stacker 11 transports the empty pallet stack to the first conveyor line 31, and the first conveyor line 31 transports the empty pallet stack to the demolding operation area 41 for use after demolding, and the robot 42 places the grabbed finished product on the empty pallet for subsequent finished product transportation.

[0092] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the first-floor delivery platform 211 and the production area 6 are both provided with a stacking machine 9, which is used to automatically stack empty pallets.

[0093] The implementation principle of the intelligent beverage entry and exit system in this embodiment is: when auxiliary materials need to be put into the warehouse, the third outgoing group 5 will put the auxiliary materials into the warehouse; when auxiliary materials need to be taken out of the warehouse to supply the production area 6, the incoming group 7 will take the auxiliary materials out of the warehouse; when the finished product stacks produced in the production area 6 need to be put into the warehouse, the incoming group 7 will put the finished products into the warehouse; when the finished products need to be shipped out, based on the outgoing cargo volume, the first outgoing group 3, the second outgoing group 4 or the third outgoing group 5 will be selected to ship out the finished products; when empty pallets come in from outside or the first-layer outgoing platform 211 recycles the empty pallet stacks and needs to be shipped in, the third outgoing group 5 will ship in the empty pallet stacks; when the production area 6 recycles the empty pallet stacks and needs to ship in, the incoming group 7 will ship in the empty pallet stacks; when the empty pallet stacks need to be shipped out, the stacker 11 and the first conveyor line 31 will ship out the empty pallet stacks. The intelligent beverage warehousing and out-of-warehouse system of the present 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 setting of the third out-of-warehouse group 5 and the in-warehousing group 7, it realizes the rapid warehousing of production line finished products, uninterrupted replenishment of auxiliary materials and other smooth flow of various materials within the factory; through the setting of the first out-of-warehouse group 3, the second out-of-warehouse group 4 and the third out-of-warehouse group 5, it can adapt to different out-of-warehouse needs and improve the efficiency of warehousing and out-of-warehouse.

[0094] like Figure 6 As shown, the present application also discloses a beverage intelligent storage and retrieval method, based on the beverage intelligent storage and retrieval system, including:

[0095] Finished product storage:

[0096] The automated warehouse control system receives the finished product entry request sent by the entry terminal;

[0097] The automated warehouse control system executes the warehousing scheduling instruction, which controls 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 transport the finished product stack to the designated cargo location of the finished product warehouse 1 in sequence.

[0098] Finished product delivery:

[0099] The automated warehouse control system receives a finished product shipment request sent by the shipment end. The finished product shipment request contains information on the quantity of finished products to be shipped. The information on the quantity of finished products to be shipped includes information on the quantity of whole stacks and information on the quantity of bulk quantities. The bulk quantity information is information on the quantity of finished products to be shipped that is less than the number of finished products in a whole stack of finished products. Specifically, the information on the quantity of finished products to be shipped is n stacks and m boxes, where n stacks are information on the quantity of whole stacks and m boxes are information on the quantity of bulk quantities.

[0100] The automated warehouse control system determines whether the quantity of bulk quantity in the bulk quantity information of the finished product delivery request is greater than zero;

[0101] If so, the automated warehouse control system executes a second scheduling instruction for the bulk quantity information. The second scheduling 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 a corresponding number of finished products to be shipped, control the first AGV vehicle 43 and the elevator 44 to transport the finished products to be shipped to the first-floor shipping platform 211 in sequence, and then continue to the next step; if not, directly execute the next step;

[0102] The automated warehouse control system calculates a first estimated delivery time required for executing the third scheduling instruction for the delivery demand of the entire stack quantity information;

[0103] 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;

[0104] If so, the automated warehouse control system executes a third dispatch instruction for the outbound demand of the whole stack quantity information. 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 sequentially transport the finished products to be shipped to the logistics truck 10;

[0105] 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 destacker 32, the dismantling conveyor 33, the screw conveyor 34 and the telescopic belt conveyor 35 to transport the finished products to be shipped to the logistics truck 10 in sequence.

[0106] When the quantity of bulk in the bulk quantity information of the finished product outbound delivery request is greater than zero, it is necessary to destacker a whole stack of finished products and take out some of the finished products when outbound delivery. The automated warehouse control system executes the second scheduling instruction to quickly grab the corresponding number of finished products to be shipped 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 destacker the finished product stack, automatically break it up and load it; 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 inbound and outbound delivery.

[0107] Preferably, the automated warehouse control system calculates a second estimated delivery time required for executing the first scheduling instruction to deliver the entire stack quantity information;

[0108] The automated warehouse control system determines whether the second estimated delivery time is shorter than the planned time;

[0109] If so, the automated warehouse control system executes the first scheduling instruction for the outbound demand of the whole stack quantity information;

[0110] If not, the automated warehouse control system executes the first scheduling instruction for the outbound demand of the whole stack quantity information within the planned time, and simultaneously executes the third scheduling instruction for the remaining finished products to be shipped out of the outbound demand of the whole stack quantity information that exceeds the planned time.

[0111] When the outbound delivery pressure is high and the second scheduling instruction cannot meet the outbound delivery demand alone, the automated warehouse control system simultaneously executes the first scheduling instruction and the third scheduling instruction to deliver the entire stack quantity information, thereby greatly reducing the outbound delivery time, meeting the outbound delivery demand, and further improving the management efficiency of the warehouse system.

[0112] 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 it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, 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.
