Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart logistics, and more particularly to a dynamic distribution system for smart logistics. Background Technology
[0002] Many advanced modern logistics systems already possess advanced technological characteristics such as informatization, digitalization, networking, integration, intelligence, flexibility, agility, visualization, and automation. Many logistics systems and networks also utilize the latest high-tech technologies such as infrared, laser, wireless, coding, addressing, automatic identification, positioning, contactless power supply, fiber optics, databases, sensors, RFID, and satellite positioning. The integrated application of these new technologies, combining optics, mechanics, electronics, and information in logistics systems, embodies the application of IoT technology in the logistics industry. The concept of smart logistics aligns with historical trends and conforms to the new development trends of automation, networking, visualization, real-time monitoring, tracking, and intelligent control in modern logistics, thus aligning with the development trend of the Internet of Things.
[0003] The invention disclosed in application publication number CN114612036A presents a method for automatic pickup identification based on logistics data processing. This method obtains and calculates whether the distance-time between a recorded location and its subsequent locations meets a preset threshold for activity hotspots. A user's daily walking spatiotemporal trajectory presents a chain-like distribution with hotspots as nodes. The trajectory is converted into a hotspot chain. Based on whether a hotspot in the chain contains a pickup point, the method filters out the hotspot preceding the pickup point and the spatiotemporal trajectory between them. The user's previous regular activity hotspot is used as the starting point for pickup. The time-space distance between hotspots and the pickup point is converted into a kernel density estimate to select the regular activity hotspot. The self-service locker is selected based on the distance from the activity hotspot to the locker and the distance from the locker to the pickup point, with the locker location having the highest kernel density estimate being the final selection. This model, based on kernel density estimation and data distance analysis of user activity hotspots, can improve the accuracy and efficiency of automatic pickup.
[0004] In smart logistics management, it is necessary to transfer logistics packaging boxes of different lengths to storage cabinets corresponding to different length ranges to facilitate the positioning and transportation of logistics packaging boxes. However, since the actual length of logistics packaging boxes is difficult to detect accurately and quickly, the selection and storage of storage cabinets corresponding to different length ranges is prone to deviation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the technical problems in related fields, this invention provides a dynamic item allocation system for smart logistics, the system comprising:
[0006] The logistics transmission mechanism is used to transfer the current object placed at the length detection station to a storage cabinet that matches the set length range when a first identification instruction is received, and is also used to transfer the current object placed at the length detection station to another storage cabinet that is different from the storage cabinet that matches the set length range when a second identification instruction is received.
[0007] The content monitoring unit is located directly above the length detection station and is used to perform visual content monitoring processing on the current object placed on the length detection station in order to obtain and output the corresponding real-time monitoring image.
[0008] A signal sharpening device is located near the length detection station and connected to the content monitoring mechanism. It is used to perform sharpening processing based on the Kirsch operator on the received image to obtain and output the corresponding signal sharpening image.
[0009] A filtering and conversion device, connected to the signal sharpening device, is used to perform high-pass filtering and sharpening processing on the received signal sharpening image to obtain and output the corresponding filtered and sharpened image;
[0010] A data enhancement device, connected to the filtering and conversion device, is used to perform image SVD enhancement processing on the received filtered and sharpened image to obtain and output the corresponding data-enhanced image;
[0011] A continuous conversion mechanism, located near the length detection station, includes a quantity conversion unit, a depth conversion unit, and a length conversion unit. The length conversion unit is connected to both the quantity conversion unit and the depth conversion unit. The continuous conversion mechanism is used to identify image blocks of the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image based on the grayscale value range corresponding to the logistics packaging box, analyze the horizontal coordinate difference between the pixels on both sides of the longest pixel row in each pixel row occupied by the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image, and obtain the overall depth value of the image block of the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image. Based on the horizontal coordinate difference and the overall depth value, the mechanism determines the entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box. The determined entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box is positively correlated with the horizontal coordinate difference and the overall depth value.
[0012] The instruction parsing mechanism is connected to both the logistics transmission mechanism and the continuous conversion mechanism. It is used to issue a first identification instruction to the logistics transmission mechanism when the physical length corresponding to the determined logistics packaging box is within a set length range, and to issue a second identification instruction to the logistics transmission mechanism when the physical length corresponding to the determined logistics packaging box is outside the set length range.
[0013] The technology of this invention can send an identification command to the logistics transmission mechanism when the physical length of the logistics packaging box is within a set length range, thereby triggering the transmission of the current object placed at the length detection station to the storage cabinet that matches the set length range; otherwise, it will be transmitted to other storage cabinets, thus realizing the adaptive allocation of storage cabinets for objects of different lengths.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a dynamic item allocation system for smart logistics, shown in the logistics packaging box according to an embodiment of the present invention. The system includes:
[0020] The logistics transmission mechanism is used to transfer the current object placed at the length detection station to a storage cabinet that matches the set length range when a first identification instruction is received, and is also used to transfer the current object placed at the length detection station to another storage cabinet that is different from the storage cabinet that matches the set length range when a second identification instruction is received.
[0021] For example, a logistics transmission mechanism is used to transmit a current object placed at a length detection station to a storage cabinet matching a set length range when a first identification instruction is received, and is also used to transmit the current object placed at the length detection station to another storage cabinet different from the storage cabinet matching the set length range when a second identification instruction is received. The logistics transmission mechanism includes a belt transmission device and an instruction receiving device, wherein the instruction receiving device is connected to the belt transmission device.
[0022] The content monitoring unit is located directly above the length detection station and is used to perform visual content monitoring processing on the current object placed on the length detection station in order to obtain and output the corresponding real-time monitoring image.
[0023] A signal sharpening device is located near the length detection station and connected to the content monitoring mechanism. It is used to perform sharpening processing based on the Kirsch operator on the received image to obtain and output the corresponding signal sharpening image.
[0024] A filtering and conversion device, connected to the signal sharpening device, is used to perform high-pass filtering and sharpening processing on the received signal sharpening image to obtain and output the corresponding filtered and sharpened image;
[0025] A data enhancement device, connected to the filtering and conversion device, is used to perform image SVD enhancement processing on the received filtered and sharpened image to obtain and output the corresponding data-enhanced image;
[0026] A continuous conversion mechanism, located near the length detection station, includes a quantity conversion unit, a depth conversion unit, and a length conversion unit. The length conversion unit is connected to both the quantity conversion unit and the depth conversion unit. The continuous conversion mechanism is used to identify image blocks of the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image based on the grayscale value range corresponding to the logistics packaging box, analyze the horizontal coordinate difference between the pixels on both sides of the longest pixel row in each pixel row occupied by the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image, and obtain the overall depth value of the image block of the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image. Based on the horizontal coordinate difference and the overall depth value, the mechanism determines the entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box. The determined entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box is positively correlated with the horizontal coordinate difference and the overall depth value.
[0027] The instruction parsing mechanism is connected to the logistics transmission mechanism and the continuous conversion mechanism respectively. It is used to issue a first identification instruction to the logistics transmission mechanism when the physical length corresponding to the determined logistics packaging box is within a set length range, and to issue a second identification instruction to the logistics transmission mechanism when the physical length corresponding to the determined logistics packaging box is outside the set length range.
[0028] The process involves identifying image blocks of the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image based on the grayscale range corresponding to the logistics packaging box, analyzing the horizontal coordinate difference between the pixels on both sides of the longest pixel row in each pixel row occupied by the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image, and obtaining the overall depth value of the image block of the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image. The entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box is determined based on the horizontal coordinate difference and the overall depth value. The determined entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box is positively correlated with the horizontal coordinate difference, and the determined entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box is positively correlated with the overall depth value. This includes using a numerical simulation mode. This paper simulates the numerical processing of identifying image blocks of logistics packaging boxes in data-enhanced images based on the grayscale value range corresponding to the logistics packaging boxes. It analyzes the horizontal coordinate difference between pixels on both sides of the longest pixel row in each pixel row occupied by the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image, and obtains the overall depth value of the image block of the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image. Based on the horizontal coordinate difference and the overall depth value, it determines the entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box, and establishes a positive correlation between the determined entity length and the horizontal coordinate difference, as well as the positive correlation between the determined entity length and the overall depth value.

[0039] In a dynamic item allocation system for smart logistics according to any embodiment of the present invention:
[0040] The signal sharpening device, the filtering and conversion device, the data enhancement device, and the continuous conversion mechanism are each connected to the same IIC control bus to receive various control commands sent by the IIC control bus.

The same MCU controller is designed based on the RM13 core of the logistics packaging box.
[0047] Furthermore, in the aforementioned dynamic item allocation system for smart logistics, the system identifies image blocks of the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image based on the grayscale value range corresponding to the logistics packaging box. It analyzes the horizontal coordinate difference between the pixels on both sides of the longest pixel row in each pixel row occupied by the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image, and obtains the overall depth value of the image block of the logistics packaging box in the data-enhanced image. The system determines the entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box based on the horizontal coordinate difference and the overall depth value. The determined entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box is positively correlated with the horizontal coordinate difference, and the positive correlation between the determined entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box and the overall depth value includes: using a numerical conversion formula to represent a one-to-two numerical conversion relationship between the determined entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box as an input parameter and the horizontal coordinate difference and the overall depth value as output parameters.
[0048] This invention has at least the following three important inventive points:
[0049] The first step: A continuous conversion mechanism including a quantity conversion unit, a depth conversion unit, and a length conversion unit is adopted to provide reliable and effective hardware resources for the visual analysis of the physical length corresponding to the logistics packaging box.
[0050] The second step involves analyzing the difference in horizontal coordinates between the pixels on either side of the longest pixel row in each pixel row occupied by the logistics packaging box in the data-augmented image, and obtaining the overall depth value of the image block of the logistics packaging box in the data-augmented image. Based on the difference in horizontal coordinates and the overall depth value, the entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box is determined. The determined entity length corresponding to the logistics packaging box is positively correlated with the difference in horizontal coordinates and the overall depth value.
[0051] Thirdly: When the physical length corresponding to the determined logistics packaging box is within the set length range, a first identification command is sent to the logistics transmission mechanism to trigger the transfer of the current object placed at the length detection station to the storage cabinet that matches the set length range; otherwise, a second identification command is sent to the logistics transmission mechanism to trigger the transfer of the current object placed at the length detection station to another storage cabinet that is different from the storage cabinet that matches the set length range, thereby realizing the adaptive allocation of storage cabinets for objects of different lengths.
[0052] The dynamic item allocation system for smart logistics of the present invention addresses the technical problem in the prior art that it is difficult to accurately identify the physical length of each logistics packaging box, which leads to difficulties in storing items by length. When the physical length of the logistics packaging box is determined by the intelligent system to be within a set length range, an identification command is sent to the logistics transmission mechanism to trigger the transfer of the current item placed at the length detection station to the storage cabinet that matches the set length range. Otherwise, it is transferred to other storage cabinets, thereby achieving adaptive allocation of storage cabinets for items of different lengths.
