Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0021] It should be noted that: Similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0022] In the description and claims of the present invention, features related to the terms "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally means an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0023] First, the feeding system in the present invention will be introduced. As Figure 1As shown in the figure, it includes a raw material warehouse and multiple production lines. The raw material warehouse includes multiple rows of shelves with a certain height. The shelves are divided into multiple layers in the height direction, and raw materials can be placed on any layer of the shelves. The shelves on both sides are single-row shelves, and the middle shelves are double-row shelves. Multiple stackers are arranged between the shelves on both sides and the middle shelves. The stacker can take out raw materials from any layer of the shelves on both sides of the stacker. As Figure 1 shown, the stacker 1 between shelf A1 and shelf A2 can take out raw materials from shelf A1 or shelf A2, and the stacker 2 between shelf B1 and shelf B2 can take out raw materials from shelf B1 or shelf B2.

[0024] The raw material warehouse can be divided into multiple warehouses. Each warehouse includes a stacker and the shelves on both sides of the stacker. As Figure 1 shown, the raw material warehouse includes shelf A1, shelf A2, shelf B1, shelf B2, shelf C1, shelf C2, shelf D1, shelf D2 and four stackers. Among them, stacker 1, shelf A1 and shelf A2 form warehouse A, stacker 2, shelf B1 and shelf B2 form warehouse B, stacker 3, shelf C1 and shelf C2 form warehouse C, and stacker 4, shelf D1 and shelf D2 form warehouse D.

[0025] As Figure 1 shown, a circular conveyor belt 1 is arranged around the shelves. The conveyor belt 1 runs in a specified direction, Figure 1 and the direction shown by the dotted arrow in the figure is the running direction of the conveyor belt. After the stacker takes out the raw materials from the shelves, the stacker can place the raw materials on the conveyor belt 1 and transport the raw materials to the corresponding production line through the conveyor belt 1. A conveyor belt 2 is also arranged in the middle of the two rows of shelves. The stacker can also place the raw materials on the conveyor belt 2 and transport the raw materials to the corresponding production line through the conveyor belt 2. Each production line has its own conveyor belt. All production lines are arranged on the same side of the raw material warehouse, and the conveyor belts of all production lines are connected to the same side of the conveyor belt 1.

[0026] As Figure 1 shown, a conveyor belt 3 is arranged at the import and export positions of the raw material warehouse. When external raw materials need to be stored in the warehouse, the external raw materials can be placed on the conveyor belt 3, transported to the conveyor belt 2 through the conveyor belt 3, then taken by the stacker, and then the raw materials are put into the shelves by the stacker.

[0027] The raw materials include raw material barrels and wire harnesses wound around the outer periphery of the raw material barrels. The production line processes the wire harnesses to produce specified products. After processing, the wire harnesses around the raw material barrels may be used up, and only empty raw material barrels remain. At this time, the empty raw material barrels are transported to the conveyor belt 1 through the production line conveyor belt, then the empty raw material barrels are transported to the conveyor belt 3 through the conveyor belt 1, the empty raw material barrels are transported to the warehouse import and export through the conveyor belt 3, and finally the empty raw material barrels are taken out.

[0028] In addition, after processing is completed, there may be some remaining wire harnesses outside the raw material barrel. At this time, the raw material barrel with the remaining wire harnesses is transported to conveyor belt 1 through the production line conveyor belt, and then the stacker removes the raw material barrel with the remaining wire harnesses on conveyor belt 1 and places the raw material barrel with the remaining wire harnesses on the shelf through the stacker.

[0029] As Figure 2 shown, this embodiment introduces a feeding control method for an automotive wire harness production line, and the method includes steps 1100-1600.

[0030] Step 1100: Obtain the material requirements of the target production line.

[0031] The material requirements include various information such as the type and weight of the raw materials required by the target production line.

[0032] Step 1200: Determine the raw material type according to the material requirements of the target production line.

[0033] For different types of wire harness products, different types of raw materials are required during production.

[0034] Step 1300: Determine the warehouse corresponding to the target production line from multiple warehouses according to the location of the target production line and the raw material type.

[0035] Since the raw material warehouse contains multiple warehouses and a large amount of raw materials are stored in each warehouse, after determining the raw material type required by the target production line, determine the warehouse corresponding to the target production line from multiple warehouses. The warehouse corresponding to the target production line contains the raw materials of the raw material type required by the target production line.

[0036] In addition, since there may be raw materials of this raw material type in multiple warehouses, in order to improve the feeding efficiency, select the warehouse with the shortest transportation time as the warehouse corresponding to the target production line.

[0037] Step 1400: Take out the target raw material from the warehouse corresponding to the target production line according to the raw material type.

[0038] Take out the target raw material from the warehouse corresponding to the target production line through the stacker, and then use the stacker to place the target raw material on conveyor belt 1. As Figure 1 shown, each shelf is divided into multiple layers, and the stacker can take out raw materials from any layer of the shelf by moving up and down. And multiple raw materials can be stored on each layer of the shelf, and the stacker can move horizontally to take out raw materials from any position on each layer of the shelf.

[0039] Step 1500: Transport the target raw material to the conveyor belt of the target production line through the first conveyor belt.

[0040] The first conveyor belt is the Figure 1 conveyor belt 1 in Figure 1 . The conveyor belt 1 runs in the direction shown by the dashed line in

[0041] Step 1600: Transport the target raw material to the designated position of the target production line through the conveyor belt of the target production line.

[0042] There are multiple devices working simultaneously on a production line. Each device takes out raw materials from the nearby area of the device for processing, and transports the target raw material to the nearby area of the device that needs to process the target raw material through the conveyor belt of the production line.

[0043] The present invention determines the warehouse corresponding to the target production line from multiple warehouses according to the position of the target production line and the type of the raw material, and selects the warehouse with the shortest transportation time as the warehouse corresponding to the target production line, reducing the raw material transportation time and improving the production efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a dock area is provided at the connection position between the conveyor belt of the production line and the first conveyor belt. Before the step 1600, the method further includes steps 2100-2400.

[0045] Step 2100: Transport the target raw material to the dock area of the target production line.

[0046] Step 2200: Weigh the target raw material in the dock area to obtain the weight of the target raw material.

[0047] Step 2300: Determine whether the target raw material is qualified according to the weight of the target raw material.

[0048] Step 2400: If the target raw material is qualified, transport the target raw material to the designated position of the target production line through the conveyor belt of the target production line.

[0049] Step 2500: If the target raw material is unqualified, continue to transport the raw material of the same type from the warehouse to the target production line.

[0050] The raw materials stored in the raw material warehouse include brand-new raw materials and unused remaining raw materials withdrawn from the production line. In order to save costs, the remaining raw materials will be returned to the shelves through the conveyor belt for next use.

[0051] According to the material requirements of the production line, it is possible to determine how much weight of raw materials the production line needs. By weighing the raw materials, the raw materials with qualified weight are transported to the designated position of the production line for subsequent processing. If the weight of the raw materials is low, then the same type of raw materials are continuously transported to this production line.

[0052] For example, if the production line needs to use 10KG of this type of raw material, and it is determined through weighing that the target raw material is only 5KG, which cannot meet the requirements of the production line. At this time, the 5KG target raw material is transported to the designated position of the production line, and at the same time, the same type of raw materials are continuously transported from the warehouse to the target production line until the requirements of the production line are met.

[0053] In this embodiment, step 1300 includes steps 1310 - 1330.

[0054] Step 1310: Determine multiple target warehouses containing the raw material type according to the raw material information of each warehouse.

[0055] Step 1320: Calculate the distance between each target warehouse and the target production line according to the position of the target production line and the positions of the multiple target warehouses.

[0056] Step 1330: Determine the warehouse corresponding to the target production line as the target warehouse with the smallest distance from the target production line.

[0057] Each warehouse stores multiple types of raw materials. The raw material information of each warehouse includes all the raw material types stored in the warehouse and the positions of each type of raw material in the warehouse. The target warehouse contains the raw material of this type.

[0058] In the case of multiple target warehouses, calculate the distance between each target warehouse and the target production line. The farther the distance, the longer the time required for raw material transportation. In order to minimize the raw material transportation time as much as possible, select the target warehouse with the smallest distance as the warehouse corresponding to the target production line.

[0059] The present invention determines the warehouse corresponding to the target production line as the target warehouse with the smallest distance from the target production line, which can minimize the raw material transportation time and improve production efficiency.

[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a second conveyor belt is provided at the middle position of the first conveyor belt. After step 1400, the method further includes steps 3100 - 3200.

[0061] Step 3100: Determine the transportation route according to the position of the warehouse corresponding to the target production line and the position of the target production line.

[0062] Step 3200: Transport the target raw material to the conveyor belt of the target production line according to the transportation route.

[0063] As Figure 1 shown, the second conveyor belt is the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 1 is a circular conveyor belt arranged around the raw material warehouse, and the conveyor belt 2 is arranged in the middle of the conveyor belt 1. Then, during the raw material transportation process, multiple routes can be used for transportation.

[0064] For example, if it is necessary to transport the raw material on the shelf C1 to the production line 3, the raw material can be first taken out from the shelf C1 by the stacker 3, and then the raw material is placed on Figure 1 the conveyor belt 1 below the shelf C1, and then the raw material is transported to the production line 3 through the conveyor belt 1. It is also possible to take out the raw material from the shelf C1 by the stacker 3, and then place the raw material on Figure 1 the conveyor belt 2 above the shelf C1. The raw material is transported to the right by the conveyor belt 2 to the conveyor belt 1, and then the raw material is transported to the production line 3 through the conveyor belt 1.

[0065] Different transportation routes will result in different transportation durations, affecting production efficiency. Select the transportation route with the shortest transportation duration based on the location of the target production line and the location of the warehouse corresponding to the target production line to improve production efficiency.

[0066] In this embodiment, the step 3100 includes steps 3110 - 3130.

[0067] Step 3110: Calculate the first length of the first transportation route for transporting the target raw material to the target production line through the first conveyor belt.

[0068] Step 3120: Calculate the second length of the second transportation route for transporting the target raw material to the target production line through the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt.

[0069] Step 3130: Determine the transportation route according to the first length and the second length.

[0070] First, determine the first transportation route and the second transportation route based on the location of the target production line and the location of the warehouse corresponding to the target production line. The first transportation route is the transportation route that only includes the first conveyor belt. The second transportation route is the transportation route that includes both the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt.

[0071] Then calculate the first length of the first transportation route and the second length of the second transportation route. If the first length is greater than the second length, then use the second transportation route as the transportation route for transporting the target raw material. If the first length is less than the second length, then use the first transportation route as the transportation route for transporting the target raw material.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the transportation route includes the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, the method further includes: When the target raw material reaches the intersection position of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, obtain the congestion situation of the first conveyor belt and the congestion situation of the second conveyor belt; When the congestion situation of the first conveyor belt is more serious, control the target raw material to be transported along the second conveyor belt; When the congestion situation of the second conveyor belt is more serious, control the target raw material to be transported along the first conveyor belt.

[0073] The conveyor belt in this application is composed of multiple guide rails arranged. The two ends of the guide rail are fixed along the axial direction and can rotate around the axis. The axial direction of the guide rail is perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt. The rotation of the guide rail drives the raw materials on the conveyor belt to move. Since it is possible to control the guide rails in some areas of the conveyor belt to stop while allowing the guide rails in other areas to operate, congestion may occur on the conveyor belt.

[0074] For example, for the new raw materials entering through the warehouse entrance and exit, the new raw materials need to be stored on shelf A1. First, transport the new raw materials to conveyor belt 1 through conveyor belt 3, then transport the raw materials to the corresponding area of shelf A1 through conveyor belt 1, and stop the guide rails in this area. Remove the raw materials from conveyor belt 1 by stacker 1 and store them on shelf A1. In the above process, the phenomenon of stopping the guide rails occurs, which will cause congestion.

[0075] If the second transportation route is selected as the transportation route for transporting the target raw material, then during transportation, it will pass through the intersection position of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. When the raw material is transported to the intersection position of the two conveyor belts, further select the transportation route according to the congestion situation to avoid causing greater congestion.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first conveyor belt includes an upper conveyor belt and a lower conveyor belt, and the conveyor belts of multiple production lines are connected to the lower conveyor belt. After step 1400, the method further includes: Obtain the quantity of raw materials on the lower conveyor belt; When the quantity of raw materials on the lower conveyor belt exceeds the threshold, place the target raw material on the upper conveyor belt and let the target raw material circulate on the upper conveyor belt; After detecting that the quantity of raw materials on the lower conveyor belt is less than the threshold, transport the target raw material on the upper conveyor belt to the lower conveyor belt, and transport the target raw material to the conveyor belt of the target production line through the lower conveyor belt.

[0077] The first conveyor belt is divided into upper and lower layers. The stacker can place the raw materials taken from the shelves on the upper conveyor belt, and the stacker can also place the taken raw materials on the lower conveyor belt.

[0078] If the quantity of raw materials on the lower conveyor belt exceeds the threshold, it indicates that the congestion situation on the lower conveyor belt is relatively serious. At this time, let the raw materials circulate on the upper conveyor belt to avoid causing greater congestion to the lower conveyor belt. After the congestion situation on the lower conveyor belt is alleviated, move the raw materials on the upper conveyor belt to the lower conveyor belt, and then transport them to the target production line.

[0079] Through the setting of two conveyor belts and the detection of the congestion situation of the lower conveyor belt, the present invention avoids further congestion of the lower conveyor belt and improves efficiency.
