DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] This embodiment discloses an automatic supply system for packaging cardboard of a beer production line. Figure 1 and 2 , including an inbound and outbound transportation module 100, a cardboard disassembly module 200 and a WMS module 300. The inbound and outbound transportation module 100 is used to transport cardboard stacks from the inbound station to the shelf, and / or transport cardboard stacks from the shelf to the outbound station; the cardboard disassembly module 200 is used to split the outbound cardboard stacks and transport them to the production line; the WMS module is used to receive inbound and / or outbound instructions issued by the operator, and send work signals to the inbound and outbound transportation module and the cardboard disassembly module respectively.

[0033] Specifically, the inbound and outbound transportation module 100 includes a first cardboard conveying unit 110, a second cardboard conveying unit 120, an RGV unit 130, an elevator 140 and several mother-and-child carts 150. The first cardboard conveying unit 110 is connected to the WMS module 300 and is used to transport the cardboard stack from the inbound station to the RGV unit; the second cardboard conveying unit 120 is connected to the WMS module 300 and transports the cardboard stack from the RGV unit 130 to the outbound station when outbound; the RGV unit 130 is connected to the WMS module 300 and is used to transport the cardboard stack to the elevator, or to obtain the cardboard stack from the elevator when outbound; the elevator 140 is connected to the WMS module 300 and is used to lift and transport the cardboard stack to the destination layer in the warehouse, or to obtain the cardboard stack from the destination floor of the warehouse when outbound; the mother-and-child cart 150 is connected to the WMS module 300 and is used to transport the cardboard stack from the elevator to the destination cargo location, or to obtain the cardboard stack from the destination cargo location when outbound. Specifically, the RGV unit 130 includes an RGV track, an RGV trolley and an RGV control unit. The RGV trolley is set on the RGV track. The RGV control unit is connected to the RGV trolley and the WMS module respectively. The RGV control unit controls the RGV trolley to move back and forth along the RGV track, which is an existing technology and will not be repeated here.

[0034] Specifically, the inbound and outbound transportation module 100 further includes an identification unit 160 , which is disposed at the inbound station and connected to the WMS module 300 , and is used to identify the barcode of the pallet on which the cardboard stack is placed.

[0035] Specifically, the inbound and outbound transportation module 100 further includes a size detection unit 170 , which is disposed downstream of the identification unit 160 . The size detection unit 170 includes a detection frame and a photoelectric sensor disposed on the detection frame, and is connected to the WMS module 300 for detecting the size of the cardboard stack.

[0036] Specifically, if Figure 3 and 4 The cardboard disassembly module 200 includes a cardboard disassembly robot 210 and a third cardboard conveying unit 220. The cardboard disassembly robot 210 is used to split the cardboard stack out of the warehouse, and includes a base 211, a robotic arm 212, a cardboard suction device 213 and a visual inspection device (not marked in the figure). The base is set next to the outbound station, and the top of the base 211 is rotatably connected to the robotic arm 212. The cardboard suction device 213 is set at the end of the robotic arm 212 away from the base 211.

[0037] The cardboard suction device 213 includes a connecting plate 213-1, a parallel frame 213-2 and a suction module 213-3. The parallel frame 213-2 is connected to the connecting plate 213-1 via a spring member 213-4. The connecting plate 213-1 is provided with a connection hole 213-5 for connecting to the robotic arm. The suction module 213-3 is arranged at one end of the parallel frame 213-2. The suction module 213-3 includes a first cylinder 213-31, a suction cup plate 213-32, a suction cup 213-33, etc. The first cylinder 213-31 drives the suction cup plate 213-32 to move up and down. The suction cup 213-33 is arranged on the suction cup plate 213-32 and is used to suck the split paper stack or compact the paper stack under the drive of the first cylinder. A visual inspection device is arranged on the suction cup plate to detect the external dimensions of the cardboard. The third cardboard conveying unit 220 is used to transport the split cardboard stack to the paper skin bin of the paper wrapping machine of the production line.

[0038] Specifically, it also includes a material conveying unit 400. The cardboard disassembly robot 210 moves the pallets and top plates remaining after the cardboard stack is conveyed to the pallet collection position and top plate collection position set on the material conveying unit 400. The material conveying unit 400 transports the pallets and top plates to the manual processing location.

[0039] When cardboard is put into storage:

[0040] The WMS module receives the warehousing instruction from the operator and sends a working signal to the inbound and outbound transport module. The first cardboard conveyor unit transports the cardboard stack from the inbound station to the RGV unit. When passing through the identification unit, the identification unit scans the barcode on the pallet holding the cardboard stack and transmits the barcode information to the WMS module. When passing through the size inspection unit, the cardboard stack passes through the inspection frame, where a photoelectric sensor installed on the inspection frame inspects the cardboard stack. If the photoelectric sensor does not detect the cardboard stack blocking the cardboard stack, the cardboard stack is deemed to meet the required dimensions. If the photoelectric sensor is blocked by the cardboard stack, the cardboard stack is deemed to be sized incorrectly. The WMS module sends a return signal to the first cardboard conveyor unit, returning the cardboard stack to the inbound station, where it is manually dimensioned and transported again. The WMS module sends a working signal to the RGV control unit, controlling the RGV trolley to move along the RGV track to the elevator, where the cardboard stack is transported to the elevator. The elevator, in response to the working signal from the WMS module, transports the cardboard stack to the destination level in the warehouse. A shuttle then transports the cardboard stack from the elevator to the destination location.

[0041] When cardboard is shipped out, Figure 2 :

[0042] The WMS module receives the outbound delivery instructions issued by the operator and sends work signals to the inbound and outbound transportation module and the cardboard disassembly module respectively. The mother-and-child cart, elevator, and RGV trolley successively remove the cardboard stack from the storage location and transport it to the second cardboard conveying unit. The second cardboard conveying unit transports the cardboard to the outbound station. The cardboard disassembly robot installed next to the outbound station splits the cardboard stack into several parts and transfers them to the third cardboard conveying unit. The third cardboard conveying unit transports the split cardboard to the paper bunker of the paper wrapping machine on the production line. The cardboard disassembly robot moves the remaining pallets and top plates after the cardboard stack is transported to the material conveying unit. The material conveying unit transports the pallets and top plates to the manual processing area. The mother-and-child cart goes to the specific shelf and storage location to pick up the goods according to the work signal sent by the WMS module. This is an existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
