Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of logistics system design and industrial 3D design, specifically to a method for creating material inbound and outbound animations for a pallet warehouse conveyor line based on scripting technology, as well as the system and electronic equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The current process of creating animations for material inbound and outbound operations on palletized automated warehouse conveyor lines suffers from complex processes, high human resource investment, long production cycles, insufficient precision in controlling key motion parameters, and unsatisfactory final rendering results.

[0003] Currently, mainstream design methods require manually setting a large number of keyframes to simulate pallet movement. A medium-sized automated warehouse project often requires tens of thousands of keyframes, with a production cycle of hundreds of man-hours. This manual operation mode is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to accurately control the acceleration curve and trajectory of the pallets, resulting in unrealistic animation effects. More seriously, existing technology struggles to effectively simulate complex scenarios involving multiple pallets working collaboratively. When dozens of physical pallets are moving simultaneously in the system, manually set keyframes often fail to accurately reflect the actual physical collision relationships, leading to a false alarm rate of 15%-20% in interference detection. Furthermore, each adjustment to the layout scheme requires resetting most of the keyframes, keeping design iteration costs high.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a method to create material inbound and outbound animations for pallet warehouse conveyor lines based on script technology, which can simplify the process flow, reduce labor costs, shorten the development cycle, improve parameter control accuracy, and optimize visual effects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems by providing a method and system for creating material inbound and outbound animations for palletized warehouse conveyor lines based on scripting technology. This method integrates a weighted Dijkstra algorithm weight function and a dynamic cylindrical bounding box method to achieve rapid generation of inbound and outbound animations.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: This invention discloses a method for creating material inbound and outbound animations for a palletized warehouse conveyor line based on scripting technology, comprising the following steps: Constructing a 3D scene of the pallet warehouse: Building a 3D scene model of the pallet warehouse's automated storage and retrieval system, conveyor lines, and materials; Reset the model's axial position: Optimize the axial position of the conveyor line and materials; Write script plugins: Plugins written using software scripting languages ​​automatically construct axial path lines; Animations for palletized material inbound and outbound operations are created using a weighted Dijkstra algorithm weight function and a dynamic cylindrical bounding box method. Adjust and optimize animation parameters, set animation export type, and complete animation production.

[0007] Furthermore, the weighting function of the weighted Dijkstra algorithm specifically includes: Set the path weight function, where Path_Weight is the weight, and calculate the formula as follows:

[0008] Where Li is the length of the i-th path segment, Ci is the number of historical crossovers of this path segment, W is the waiting time cost, and 1.2 is the crossover adjustment coefficient.

[0009] Furthermore, the dynamic cylindrical bounding box method: adds a dynamic cylindrical bounding box to the palletized material obj to handle the situation when palletized materials meet, so as to maintain a certain safe distance between materials and prevent material interference.

[0010] Furthermore, the method for automatically constructing the axial path line involves using a plugin written in a software scripting language to sequentially select the chain conveyor equipment model, automatically constructing the axial path line, and selecting the palletized material to associate it with the spatial position and motion parameter attributes of the axial path line.

[0011] Furthermore, the specific method for resetting the axial position of the model is as follows: optimize the axial position of the conveyor line and the material. In the hierarchical modification mode, adjust the top layer of the chain conveyor to be centered, and adjust the bottom layer of the material to be centered.

[0012] Further adjustments and optimizations to the animation parameters mainly involve adjusting the quantity of material on the pallet, the generation interval and speed, and fine-tuning the point positions of the axial path lines.

[0013] Furthermore, in the animation export settings, select the renderer, set the renderer parameters, and set the resolution, frame rate, sampling rate, and lighting parameters; select the storage location and specify the file format type.

[0014] Furthermore, constructing a 3D scene of the pallet warehouse specifically includes: accurately constructing a 3D scene model of the pallet warehouse's automated storage and retrieval system, conveyor lines, and materials in 3D animation software according to the equipment layout in the drawings, setting texture materials, and simulating the real scene of the project.

[0015] This invention discloses a system for creating animations of material inbound and outbound movements on a palletized warehouse conveyor line based on scripting technology, and a method for creating such animations based on scripting technology, comprising: The pallet warehouse 3D scene construction module is used to accurately construct 3D scene models of pallet warehouse racking, conveyor lines, and materials in 3D animation software according to the equipment layout in the drawings. The axial position reset module is used to optimize the axial position of the conveyor line and materials. In the layer modification mode, it adjusts the top layer of the chain conveyor to be centered and the bottom layer of the material to be centered.

[0016] The script plugin writing module uses a software scripting language to select the chain conveyor equipment model in sequence, automatically construct the axial path line, and select the pallet material to associate it with the spatial position and motion parameter attributes of the axial path line. The weighted Dijkstra algorithm weight function module uses the weighted Dijkstra algorithm to set the path weight function. The Dynamic Cylindrical Enclosing Box module adds dynamic cylindrical enclosing boxes to palletized materials; The animation parameter adjustment and optimization module is used to adjust the quantity of palletized materials, generation interval and speed, and fine-tune the point position of the axial path line; The animation export module allows you to set the type of animation to be exported.

[0017] The present invention also discloses an electronic device, including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements a method for creating material inbound and outbound animations for a pallet warehouse conveyor line based on script technology.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: 1. This invention integrates a keyframe automatic interpolation algorithm: it uses a weighted Dijkstra algorithm and a dynamic cylindrical bounding box collision function to create pallet material entry and exit animations, thereby achieving rapid generation of entry and exit animations.

[0019] 2. This invention proposes to automatically construct standardized material conveying path data based on conveying equipment, which is the first of its kind in the production of material inbound and outbound animations for pallet warehouse conveyor lines in warehousing and logistics.
