[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] This embodiment discloses a method for dispatching instructions for controlling multiple devices in a cold chain warehouse. Figure 1 1 shows a flow chart of the method in this embodiment, Figure 2 The method timing diagram in this embodiment is shown. Figure 1 It can be seen that this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0029] Step 1: Collect equipment data in the cold chain warehouse and preprocess the collected data.
[0030] Environmental data is obtained by periodically measuring the environment in the cold chain warehouse through various sensors (temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc.) deployed in the cold chain warehouse.
[0031] It also collects the current status reports of equipment (refrigeration units, fans, AGVs / AMRs, lighting, etc.) in the cold chain warehouse, including the equipment's own operating status data (such as operating mode, fault codes, location information, power level, etc.). For example, the location, status, and task progress reported by mobile devices such as AGVs / AMRs, or alarm / status signals reported by fire protection and security equipment.
[0032] The edge gateway establishes a connection with the device through the communication module installed in the edge gateway, and actively monitors or periodically polls the device data. The edge gateway parses the received raw binary or formatted data into a structured, processable data format and performs preliminary unit conversion and error checking. The edge gateway also performs preliminary filtering on the collected data to remove obvious outliers or duplicate data, reducing invalid data transmission.
[0033] Finally, the edge gateway encapsulates the standardized device data into a unified message format (including device ID, data type, timestamp, specific data value, etc.) and sends the message to the cloud.
[0034] Step 2: The cloud receives the message in a unified format and constructs a device database in chronological order based on the timestamps. The data in the device database is then processed using the cold chain warehouse collaborative control model to monitor the status of the equipment in the cold chain warehouse. Scheduling decisions are then made based on the control variables calculated by the cold chain warehouse collaborative control model. Furthermore, by continuously monitoring the real-time status of the equipment, an event is triggered if any anomalies in the device data are detected or if the data does not conform to the preset rules. Based on the triggered event and the scheduling decision, a corresponding task request is generated.
[0035] In this embodiment, the core of the cold chain warehouse collaborative control model is to transform the traditional discrete scheduling problem into a distributed control problem in a continuous space through the framework of partial differential equations. A set of partial differential equations is used to describe the continuous changes in the temperature, humidity and airflow fields inside the warehouse, as well as the complex interactions and evolution processes between these physical fields. At the same time, the scheduling decisions of the storage equipment are transformed into control items of these physical fields, thereby achieving optimal management of the entire storage environment. By treating the space of the cold chain warehouse as a continuous physical space, the temperature field is defined. , humidity field , air flow velocity field The evolution of these equations is described by a set of partial differential equations. In this set of partial differential equations, the changes in each physical field are affected by control items (such as refrigeration units, fans, humidifiers and other equipment). The data in the equipment database acts as control input in these equations to achieve global instruction optimization of the cold chain storage environment.
[0036] Specifically, the partial differential equations in the cold chain warehousing collaborative control model include: temperature evolution equation, humidity evolution equation and turbulence corrected airflow equation, among which,
[0037] The temperature evolution equation can be expressed as follows:
[0038]
[0039] ,
[0040] in, is the air density, which represents the air mass per unit volume, Specific heat capacity, which represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of air by one degree. is the partial differential symbol, For time, is the air flow velocity field, indicating the speed of air flow; is the Laplace operator, is the temperature field, represents the temperature gradient, which represents the rate of change of temperature in space; is the thermal diffusivity, which indicates the ability of heat to diffuse in the air. A high diffusivity means that heat can spread quickly in space. The fan heat consumption is Indicates the heat consumption power of the fan, which is used to describe the heat consumption effect brought by the airflow through the fan. When the fan is running, it not only pushes air into the warehouse, but also may generate heat due to mechanical losses, thereby affecting the temperature of the warehouse. The heat consumption power generated by the fan is usually related to the operating status of the fan (such as wind speed, fan power, etc.). As the cooling source, It represents the cooling source function, which indicates the influence of the cooling source on the temperature field. The cooling source generates cooling through the operation of the refrigeration unit and controls the temperature distribution in the warehouse. Heat source for logistics robots, Represents the heat source function of the logistics robot, which is used to describe the heat generated by the logistics robot (AGV / AMR). The movement of the logistics robot consumes energy and generates heat, which affects the temperature field in the warehouse. is the thermal conductivity coefficient, which indicates the ability of heat transfer between the wall of the cold chain warehouse and the external environment; The external temperature indicates the temperature of the environment outside the warehouse.
[0041] In this embodiment, the cooling source function can be expressed by the following formula:
[0042] ,
[0043] in, is the coefficient related to the refrigeration capacity of the refrigerator, is the refrigerator power output, Represents the power output of the refrigerator at time t, which is used to control the cooling intensity of the refrigerator. is the Dirac function, Indicates that the refrigerator acts on a specific location , i is the refrigerator.
[0044] In this embodiment, the heat source function of the logistics robot can be expressed by the following formula:
[0045] ,
[0046] in, is the speed coefficient of the logistics robot, is the speed of the logistics robot, j is the logistics robot, is the local kernel function, is the position of logistics robot j at time t, It represents the distribution of heat sources in space. The characteristic of the heat source of a logistics robot is that it changes with movement. When the logistics robot moves in the warehouse, it generates heat, affecting the temperature of the surrounding area.
[0047] It should be noted that Indicates the rate of change of temperature over time, representing the change in thermal energy storage in the warehouse. Represents the convection term, which is used to describe the convection effect of airflow on the temperature field. The airflow generated by the fan transfers the temperature from one location to another by pushing the air flow. In cold chain warehousing, the influence of fans and airflow on temperature distribution is crucial. Airflow can remove heat or bring in cold air throughout the warehouse. The heat diffusion term represents the diffusion effect of heat, describing the natural expansion or propagation of heat in space and reflecting the natural flow of heat from high-temperature areas to low-temperature areas. This equation describes the evolution of the temperature field within the warehouse through a series of physical terms (energy storage, convection, diffusion, source terms, external disturbances, etc.). It accurately captures the various physical mechanisms of temperature variation in cold chain warehouses and, through its source and convection terms, tightly couples equipment scheduling and airflow dynamics, laying the foundation for refined temperature control. Furthermore, by controlling the scheduling of equipment such as chillers, fans, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), the impact of these terms can be adjusted to optimize the temperature distribution within the warehouse, thereby maintaining the ideal temperature range.
[0048] The humidity evolution equation can be expressed as follows:
[0049]
[0050] ,
[0051] in, is the humidity field, which represents the humidity distribution in the warehouse; is the humidity diffusion coefficient, which indicates the diffusion ability of moisture in space; For humidification / dehumidification, Represents the humidification / dehumidification function, which is used to describe the effect of a humidifier or dehumidifier on adding or removing moisture from the air and is linked to the scheduling decision of the humidifier / dehumidifier; is the humidity exchange rate coefficient, which indicates the rate of humidity exchange between the outside air and the warehouse. is the saturated humidity, It means that saturated humidity is a function of temperature T. The higher the temperature, the more water vapor the air can carry, so the saturated humidity is also greater. For the opening and closing event of the cold storage door, Represents the opening and closing event function of the cold storage door. When the door is opened , when closed ,This function is closely related to the scheduling of logistics robots, ,because the driving route of logistics robots may involve the ,opening and closing of cold storage, affecting the air exchange ,process.
[0052] In this embodiment, the humidification / dehumidification function can be expressed by the following formula:
[0053] ,
[0054] in, is the efficiency coefficient of the humidifier / dehumidifier; is the humidification / dehumidification capacity (the mass of moisture added / removed per unit time). For a humidifier, this is a positive value; for a dehumidifier, this is a negative value. Indicates humidifier / dehumidifier At the moment Humidification / dehumidification capacity; For humidifier / dehumidifier Position in space; is the Dirac function of the humidifier / dehumidifier, indicating the humidifier / dehumidifier Influences the humidity field at its physical location.
[0055] It's important to note that this equation describes the evolution of the humidity field within a cold chain warehouse, accounting for moisture convection and diffusion, as well as source and sink terms caused by humidification / dehumidification equipment and door opening and closing events. The influence of airflow and temperature on the humidity field is a key coupling point. Furthermore, the operation of the humidification / dehumidification equipment and the door opening events caused by logistics robots directly influence the dynamics of the humidity field as control variables. This makes the entire model a highly interconnected system. By optimizing these factors, humidity fluctuations within the warehouse can be effectively controlled.
[0056] The turbulence-corrected airflow equation can be expressed as follows:
[0057] ,
[0058] in, is the kinematic viscosity of the airflow, is the gravitational acceleration vector, is the coefficient of thermal expansion, is the reference temperature, which is used to define the reference point of buoyancy. hour, The direction is opposite to the gravity acceleration vector (upward, causing buoyancy); when hour, The direction is the same as the gravity acceleration vector (downward, causing sinking).
[0059] It should be noted that this equation describes the flow of air inside the warehouse. The flow of air is very important for maintaining the temperature of the cold chain warehouse, and it is also the key medium for connecting the temperature field and the humidity field through the convection term. The equation shown in this embodiment is a simplification and correction based on the Navier-Stokes equation. This equation describes how the resultant force acting on a unit volume of fluid causes a change in its momentum, taking into account the inertia, pressure gradient force, viscous force and buoyancy of the fluid. At the same time, since the airflow in the warehouse is usually turbulent, directly solving the original Navier-Stokes equation is computationally intensive. Therefore, turbulence correction and simplification are used in this embodiment. Specifically, the left side of the equation Represents the inertial response of air flow, including changes over time and space; Represents the pressure gradient term, which is used to describe the fluid being pushed by the pressure difference, and the air flows from high pressure to low pressure; represents the viscous diffusion term, which is used to describe the viscous dissipation or momentum diffusion term and characterizes the smoothing effect of the internal friction of the fluid on the velocity field; The buoyancy term, derived through the Boussinesq approximation, describes the effect of buoyancy on airflow due to temperature differences. This is the core coupling point between the airflow and temperature fields. Under the Boussinesq approximation, changes in fluid density are considered only in the gravity term, while the density in other terms is treated as a constant. This equation tightly couples the buoyancy term with the temperature field, optimizing fan scheduling decisions by obtaining the velocity field throughout the warehouse. The velocity field also serves as the core input into the convection terms of the temperature and humidity field equations, resulting in a highly coupled and dynamic model.
[0060] As can be seen from the above, in the cold chain warehousing collaborative control model, there is a close coupling relationship between control variables and equipment scheduling. The control variables in the model determine the operating status of the equipment, while equipment scheduling affects the changes in these control variables, providing strong support for the generation of scheduling decisions.
[0061] Step 3: All generated task requests enter the scheduling core's task queue and are sorted according to predefined priorities. For each task, its preconditions and dependencies are checked. The task is scheduled only if the preconditions are met. (For example, a task to lower the temperature of a refrigerator requires ensuring the refrigerator is operating normally. Or an AGV / AMR movement task requires confirming that the path is unobstructed and the target cold storage door is open.) Deadlocks are also avoided through simplified deadlock detection or checks based on pre-defined rules.
[0062] Finally, based on the priority, dependency, real-time requirements of each task and the current status of the device, atomic operation instructions for specific devices are generated through the rolling time domain optimization algorithm to obtain an accurate, executable, atomic device control instruction sequence.
[0063] Step 4: Encapsulate the atomic operation instruction into an operation instruction message (including instruction ID, target device ID, command type, parameters, priority, timeout, etc.), and send the operation instruction message to the edge gateway.
[0064] After receiving the operation instruction message, the edge gateway parses the target device and specific commands. The local executor module of the edge gateway converts the general instructions into native commands that can be recognized by the target device based on the device abstract model and driver, and sends the native commands to the main control center of the corresponding device through the communication module of the edge gateway.
[0065] Step 5: After the device completes execution, it sends feedback to the edge gateway, including the execution result, success / failure status, latest operating data, and status changes during execution. The edge gateway encapsulates the device feedback information into a unified feedback message and sends it to the cloud. The cloud updates the device execution result and latest status based on the feedback message, thus forming a closed loop.
[0066] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
