BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0049] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a feeding system in the present application.

[0050] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for controlling feeding of an automobile wire harness production line in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and numerical values of components and steps set forth in these embodiments are not limiting to the scope of the present application unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0052] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way limiting to the scope of the application or its applications or uses.

[0053] Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art(s) can not be discussed in any detail in order to avoid confusion. Appropriate aspects of such techniques, methods, and apparatus should be considered as part of the present description in suitable circumstances. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted merely as examples, and not as a limitation. Thus, other examples of the example embodiments can have different values.

[0054] It should be noted that like reference numerals and characters refer to like elements throughout the following description and the claims, not only to the description and the claims. Therefore, once an element is defined in one drawing, it is not necessary to discuss it further in subsequent drawings.

[0055] In the description and claims of the application, each of the terms "comprises", "comprising", "includes", "including" and the like are to be understood to be open terms that specify the presence of stated elements or features, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or features. In describing and claiming the present application, "a", "an", and "the" are defined to mean one or more unless otherwise indicated.

[0056] The feeding system in the present application is introduced first. As shown in Figure 1 , it includes a raw material warehouse and multiple production lines. The raw material warehouse includes multiple rows of shelves with a certain height, and the shelves are divided into multiple layers in the height direction. Raw materials can be placed on any layer of the shelves. The shelves on both sides are single-row shelves, and the shelves in the middle are double-row shelves. Multiple stackers are arranged between the shelves on both sides and the shelves in the middle. The stackers can take raw materials from any layer of the shelves on both sides. Figure 1 As shown in , the stacker 1 between the shelf A1 and the shelf A2 can take raw materials from the shelf A1 or the shelf A2, and the stacker 2 between the shelf B1 and the shelf B2 can take raw materials from the shelf B1 or the shelf B2.

[0057] The raw material warehouse can be divided into multiple warehouses, and each warehouse includes a stacker and the shelves on both sides of the stacker. As shown in Figure 1 , the raw material warehouse includes the shelf A1, the shelf A2, the shelf B1, the shelf B2, the shelf C1, the shelf C2, the shelf D1, the shelf D2, and four stackers. The stacker 1, the shelf A1, and the shelf A2 form a warehouse A, the stacker 2, the shelf B1, and the shelf B2 form a warehouse B, the stacker 3, the shelf C1, and the shelf C2 form a warehouse C, and the stacker 4, the shelf D1, and the shelf D2 form a warehouse D.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1 , a ring-shaped conveyor belt 1 is arranged around the shelves, and the conveyor belt 1 runs in a specified direction, Figure 1The dotted arrow in the figure indicates the direction of the conveyor belt. After the stacker removes raw materials from the shelves, it places them on conveyor belt 1, which then transports them to the corresponding production line. Conveyor belt 2 is also located between the two rows of shelves. The stacker also places raw materials on conveyor belt 2, which then transports them to the corresponding production line. Each production line has its own conveyor belt, and all production lines are located on the same side of the raw material warehouse. All conveyor belts are connected to the same side of conveyor belt 1.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, a conveyor belt 3 is provided at the entrance and exit of the raw material warehouse. When external raw materials need to be put into the warehouse, the external raw materials can be placed on the conveyor belt 3, which transports the raw materials to the conveyor belt 2, and then the stacker is used to pick up the raw materials, and then the stacker is used to put the raw materials into the shelves.

[0060] The raw materials consist of barrels and a wire harness wrapped around them. The production line processes the wire harness to create the desired product. After processing, the wire harness around the barrel may be used up, leaving only an empty barrel. This empty barrel is then transported to conveyor belt 1 via the production line conveyor belt. Conveyor belt 1 then transports the empty barrel to conveyor belt 3, which then transports it to the warehouse entrance / exit point via conveyor belt 3, where it is finally removed.

[0061] In addition, after processing is completed, some wire harnesses may remain around the outer periphery of the raw material barrel. At this time, the raw material barrel with the remaining wire harnesses is transported to conveyor belt 1 via the production line conveyor belt, and then the raw material barrel with the remaining wire harnesses on conveyor belt 1 is taken away by the stacker, and the raw material barrel with the remaining wire harnesses is placed on the shelf by the stacker.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment introduces a feeding control method for an automobile wiring harness production line, and the method includes steps 1100-1600.

[0063] Step 1100: Obtain the material requirements of the target production line.

[0064] Material requirements include various information such as the type and weight of raw materials required for the target production line.

[0065] Step 1200: Determine the raw material type according to the material requirements of the target production line.

[0066] Different types of wire harness products require different types of raw materials during production.

[0067] Step 1300: Determine a warehouse corresponding to the target production line from a plurality of warehouses according to the location of the target production line and the type of raw materials.

[0068] Since the raw material warehouse contains multiple warehouses, a large amount of raw materials are stored in each warehouse, and after determining the type of raw material required by the target production line, the warehouse corresponding to the target production line is determined from multiple warehouses. The warehouse corresponding to the target production line contains the type of raw material required by the target production line.

[0069] In addition, since there can be multiple warehouses with raw materials of the same type, in order to improve the feeding efficiency, the warehouse with the shortest transportation time is selected as the warehouse corresponding to the target production line.

[0070] Step 1400: Take the target raw material from the warehouse corresponding to the target production line according to the type of raw material.

[0071] The target raw material is taken from the warehouse corresponding to the target production line by the stacker, and then the target raw material is placed on the conveyor belt 1 using the stacker. As shown in Figure 1 Each shelf is divided into multiple layers, and the stacker can take raw materials from any layer of the shelf by moving up and down. And each layer of the shelf can store multiple raw materials, and the stacker can horizontally move to take raw materials from any position in each layer of the shelf.

[0072] Step 1500: Transport the target raw material to the conveyor belt of the target production line by the first conveyor belt.

[0073] The first conveyor belt is the conveyor belt 1 in Figure 1 The conveyor belt 1 runs in the direction indicated by the dashed line in Figure 1 , and delivers the raw material to the conveyor belt of the production line.

[0074] Step 1600: Transport the target raw material to the designated position of the target production line by the conveyor belt of the target production line.

[0075] There are multiple devices working on a production line, and each device takes raw materials from the vicinity of the device for processing, and the target raw material is transported to the vicinity of the device that needs to process the target raw material by the conveyor belt of the production line.

[0076] The present application 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 raw material, selects the warehouse with the shortest transportation time as the warehouse corresponding to the target production line, reduces the raw material transportation time, and improves the production efficiency.

[0077] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , a wharf area is provided at the connection position of the conveyor belt of the production line and the first conveyor belt. Before step 1600, the method further includes steps 2100-2400.

[0078] Step 2100: Transport the target raw material to the wharf area of the target production line.

[0079] Step 2200: Weigh the target raw material at the wharf area to obtain the weight of the target raw material.

[0080] Step 2300: Determine whether the target raw material is qualified according to the weight of the target raw material.

[0081] 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.

[0082] Step 2500: If the target raw material is not qualified, continue to transport the same type of raw material from the warehouse to the target production line.

[0083] The raw materials stored in the raw material warehouse include brand new raw materials and remaining raw materials that have not been used up and are removed from the production line. In order to save costs, the remaining raw materials will be returned to the shelf through the conveyor belt for next use.

[0084] According to the material demand of the production line, it can be determined how much weight of raw material the production line needs. By weighing the raw material, the qualified raw material by weight is transported to the designated position of the production line for subsequent processing. If the weight of the raw material is low, the same type of raw material is continuously transported to the production line.

[0085] For example, the production line needs to use 10KG of this type of raw material. After weighing, it is determined that the target raw material is only 5KG, which cannot meet the demand of the production line. At this time, the 5KG target raw material is transported to the designated position of the production line, and the same type of raw material is continuously transported from the warehouse to the target production line until the demand of the production line is met.

[0086] In this embodiment, the step 1300 includes steps 1310-1330.

[0087] Step 1310: Determine a plurality of target warehouses containing the raw material type according to the raw material information of each warehouse.

[0088] 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 position of the plurality of target warehouses.

[0089] Step 1330: Determine the target warehouse with the smallest distance from the target production line as the warehouse corresponding to the target production line.

[0090] Each warehouse stores multiple types of raw materials, and the raw material information of each warehouse includes all the types of raw materials stored in the warehouse and the location of each type of raw material in the warehouse. The target warehouse contains the raw material type.

[0091] In the case of multiple target warehouses, the distance between each target warehouse and the target production line is calculated. The farther the distance, the longer the time required for raw material transportation. In order to minimize the raw material transportation time, the target warehouse with the shortest distance is selected as the warehouse corresponding to the target production line.

[0092] The present application determines the target warehouse with the shortest distance to the target production line as the warehouse corresponding to the target production line, which can minimize the raw material transportation time and improve production efficiency.

[0093] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , a second conveyor belt is provided at the middle position of the first conveyor belt, and after step 1400, the method further includes steps 3100-3200.

[0094] Step 3100: determining a transportation route according to the location of the warehouse corresponding to the target production line and the location of the target production line.

[0095] Step 3200: transporting the target raw material to the conveyor belt of the target production line according to the transportation route.

[0096] As shown in Figure 1 , the second conveyor belt is conveyor belt 2. Conveyor belt 1 is a ring-shaped conveyor belt arranged around the raw material warehouse. By arranging conveyor belt 2 in the middle of conveyor belt 1, the raw material can be transported by multiple routes during transportation.

[0097] For example, the raw material of shelf C1 needs to be transported to production line 3. The raw material can be first taken out from shelf C1 by stacker 3, and then placed on conveyor belt 1 below shelf C1 in Figure 1 , and then transported to production line 3 by conveyor belt 1. Alternatively, the raw material can be taken out from shelf C1 by stacker 3, and then placed on conveyor belt 2 above shelf C1 in Figure 1 , and then transported to the right side of conveyor belt 1 by conveyor belt 2, and then transported to production line 3 by conveyor belt 1.

[0098] Different transportation routes will result in different transportation times, affecting production efficiency. By selecting the transportation route with the shortest transportation time according to the location of the target production line and the location of the warehouse corresponding to the target production line, the production efficiency is improved.

[0099] In this embodiment, the step 3100 includes steps 3110-3130.

[0100] Step 3110: Calculate a first length of a first transportation route of transporting the target raw material to the target production line by the first conveyor belt.

[0101] Step 3120: Calculate a second length of a second transportation route of transporting the target raw material to the target production line by the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt.

[0102] Step 3130: Determine the transportation route according to the first length and the second length.

[0103] First, the first transportation route and the second transportation route are determined according to the position of the target production line and the position of the warehouse corresponding to the target production line. The first transportation route is a transportation route containing only the first conveyor belt. The second transportation route is a transportation route containing the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt.

[0104] Then, the first length of the first transportation route and the second length of the second transportation route are calculated. If the first length is greater than the second length, the second transportation route is taken as the transportation route of the target raw material. If the first length is less than the second length, the first transportation route is taken as the transportation route of the target raw material.

[0105] In the embodiment, when the transportation route includes the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, the method further includes:

[0106] When the target raw material reaches the intersection position of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, the congestion situation of the first conveyor belt and the congestion situation of the second conveyor belt are obtained.

[0107] When the congestion situation of the first conveyor belt is more serious, the target raw material is controlled to be transported along the second conveyor belt.

[0108] When the congestion situation of the second conveyor belt is more serious, the target raw material is controlled to be transported along the first conveyor belt.

[0109] The conveyor belt in the present application is composed of a plurality of guide rails arranged along the axis direction, the guide rails are fixed at both ends of the axis direction and can rotate around the shaft, the axis direction of the guide rails is perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt, and the rotation of the guide rails drives the raw materials on the conveyor belt to move. Since the guide rails in some areas of the conveyor belt can be controlled to stop while the guide rails in other areas can be controlled to run, congestion on the conveyor belt may occur.

[0110] For example, new raw materials entering the warehouse through import and export need to be stored in shelf A1. Then the new raw materials are transported to the first conveyor belt 1 through the second conveyor belt 3, and then transported to the corresponding area of the first conveyor belt 1, and the guide rail of the area is stopped, the raw materials are taken off from the first conveyor belt 1 by the stacker 1, and stored in the shelf A1. In the above process, the phenomenon of stopping the guide rail occurs, which will cause congestion.

[0111] If the second transportation route is selected as the transportation route of the target raw material, the intersection position of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt will be passed during transportation. When the raw materials are transported to the intersection position of the two conveyor belts, the transportation route is further selected according to the congestion situation to avoid causing greater congestion.

[0112] In this embodiment, the first conveyor belt includes an upper conveyor belt and a lower conveyor belt, and the conveyor belts of the plurality of production lines are connected to the lower conveyor belt. After the step 1400, the method further includes:

[0113] Obtaining the number of raw materials on the lower conveyor belt;

[0114] In the case that the number of raw materials on the lower conveyor belt exceeds a threshold value, the target raw material is placed on the upper conveyor belt, and the target raw material circulates on the upper conveyor belt.

[0115] After detecting that the number of raw materials on the lower conveyor belt is less than the threshold value, the target raw material on the upper conveyor belt is transported to the lower conveyor belt, and the target raw material is transported to the conveyor belt of the target production line through the lower conveyor belt.

[0116] The first conveyor belt is divided into upper and lower two layers, and the stacker can place the raw materials taken out from the shelf on the upper conveyor belt, or place the taken-out raw materials on the lower conveyor belt.

[0117] If the number of raw materials on the lower conveyor belt exceeds the threshold value, it indicates that the congestion of the lower conveyor belt is more serious, and at this time, the raw materials are circulated on the upper conveyor belt to avoid causing greater congestion to the lower conveyor belt. After the congestion of the lower conveyor belt is alleviated, the raw materials on the upper conveyor belt are moved to the lower conveyor belt, and then transported to the target production line.

[0118] The present application sets two layers of conveyor belts, and detects the congestion of the lower conveyor belt, to avoid further congestion of the lower conveyor belt and improve efficiency.
