Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation technology, and in particular to a picking process. Background Technology
[0002] In vehicle production workshops, picking is the process of retrieving different parts from the storage area according to production line order requirements and storing them in transport trolleys. In the storage area, each type of part is typically placed in a specific part box. Before picking, operators must first check the order demand list, then push the transport trolley to pick the parts one by one according to the order requirements. If all parts in a part box have been picked, the operator must walk to stack the empty boxes in a designated area. To ensure the correct parts are picked, the operator must check the order demand list while picking the corresponding parts. This results in operators walking long distances during picking and frequently checking the order demand list and part quantities, leading to low picking efficiency and difficulty in meeting the ever-increasing vehicle production demands.
[0003] In view of this, the present invention proposes a picking process to solve or at least alleviate the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0037] In modern vehicle manufacturing workshops, order picking is a crucial link in logistics and transportation. Its core task is to retrieve various parts from the storage area based on order demands from the production line, and then classify and store them on transport trolleys according to specific rules and standards, ensuring timely supply to the production line. In the storage area, for ease of management and identification, each type of part is typically placed in a specific part box. Before picking, operators must carefully check the order demand sheet to clarify the types and quantities of parts to be picked. Then, operators need to push the transport trolleys, moving between the various shelves in the storage area, picking the corresponding parts one by one according to the order requirements. Once all parts in a part box have been picked, operators must spend additional time and effort carrying the empty boxes on foot to the designated stacking area to ensure the cleanliness and orderliness of the storage area.
[0038] The applicant's observations revealed that during actual picking operations, to ensure the accuracy of the picked parts, operators must maintain a high level of concentration at all times, carefully checking the order request sheet while retrieving the corresponding parts from the parts bins. While this method can guarantee picking accuracy to a certain extent, it introduces numerous problems. Due to the narrow spacing between shelves in the storage area, operators can only move around on foot, which not only consumes a significant amount of physical energy but also significantly increases the time cost of picking operations. Simultaneously, frequent verification of the order request sheet and parts quantities drastically reduces the efficiency of picking operations. Furthermore, organizing empty boxes also consumes operator time. The combined effect of these factors results in low picking efficiency. Given the current increasing demand in vehicle production, this inefficient picking operation model can no longer meet the actual needs of the production line, severely restricting the overall progress and efficiency of vehicle production, and urgently requires optimization and improvement.
[0039] Therefore, this utility model proposes a picking process to solve or alleviate the above problems.
[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the picking process 100 includes a parts warehouse 1, a conveying module 2, a transportation module, and a control module 3. The parts storage unit 1 is used to store parts boxes 200. The conveying module 2 includes a handling device, a conveying device 21, and multiple sorting tables 22. The handling device is installed in the parts storage unit 1 and is used to put or move parts boxes 200 into or out of the conveying device 21. The multiple sorting tables 22 are installed at intervals on the side of the conveying device 21 away from the parts storage unit 1. The conveying device 21 is used to transport parts boxes 200 back and forth between the parts storage unit 1 and the sorting tables 22. The transport module includes a trolley and multiple stacked boxes placed on the trolley. The trolley (not shown) is placed on the side of the sorting table 22. The control module 3 includes a processor 31 and a storage indicator 33 and multiple picking indicators 32 that are communicatively connected to the processor 31. The picking indicators 32 are set one-to-one with the sorting tables 22. The storage indicators 33 are installed on the trolley and are equipped with multiple storage indicator lights 331. The storage indicator lights 331 are set one-to-one with the stacked boxes.
[0041] Specifically, different component bins 200 are used to store different types of components. Component bins 200 in the component warehouse 1 are input by external transport trolleys or logistics lines, and empty component bins 200 are also output by external transport trolleys or logistics lines. When a production task is issued from the production line, the processor 31 can automatically create picking tasks. The processor 31 can be a controller in a Warehouse Management System (WMS), or a computer and a PLC. The conveyor 21 is one of a roller conveyor line 222 or a conveyor belt. A lifting and traversing device is installed in the conveyor 21 to move the component bins 200 from the conveyor 21 to the sorting table 22. The handling device includes one of a robotic arm and a gantry robot. The picking indicator 32 is installed on the side of its corresponding sorting table 22 or in another location convenient for the operator to observe and operate. The storage indicator 33 is installed only on the frame of the trolley and moves with it. When the trolley is parked on one side of the sorting table 22, the processor 31, due to its communication connection with the storage indicator 33, can identify the type of the stacked box in the trolley and control the handling device, conveyor 21, sorting table 22, picking indicator 32, and storage indicator 33 to work together. For example, type 1 parts correspond to type 1 parts box and type 1 sorting table, type 2 parts correspond to type 2 parts box and type 2 sorting table, and so on. When the production line needs two type 1 parts and two type 2 parts, the processor 31 controls the handling device to place the type 1 parts box and type 2 parts box on the conveyor 21, which then transports them to the type 1 and type 2 sorting tables. The picking indicator 32 on the type 1 sorting table instructs the operator to pick up the two type 1 parts by means of light, sound, or displaying patterns, and then, according to the indication in the storage indicator 33, places the picked type 1 parts into the sorting table. The parts are placed in the first and third sequential bins respectively (this is just an example; the specific placement location needs to be determined according to the indication of the storage indicator 331). At this time, the picking of the first type of parts is completed. The first part box enters the conveyor 21 from the first sorting table and is then transported to the part warehouse 1 by the conveyor 21. When the first part box returns, the picking indicator 32 in the second sorting table instructs the operator to pick up two second parts and place the two picked second type parts in the first and fifth sequential bins respectively according to the indication in the storage indicator 33. After the picking is completed, the second part box automatically returns to the part warehouse 1.
[0042] According to the solution provided in this embodiment, the processor 31 can create sorting tasks based on the required different types of parts and control the handling device to transport the corresponding part boxes 200 to the conveyor device 21. The conveyor device 21 then distributes different part boxes 200 to different sorting stations 22. The operator can pick up the parts from the corresponding sorting station 22 according to the picking indicator 32 and place the sorted parts into the corresponding storage box according to the storage indicator 331. After a part is sorted, the processor 31 can control the sorting station 22 to transport the part box 200 to the conveyor device 21, and the conveyor device 21 will transport it back to the part storage 1. Finally, the handling device will transport the part box 200 to the part storage 1. In this way, different types of part boxes 200 can circulate between the part storage 1 and the sorting station 22. The number of different types of part boxes 200 can be greater than the number of sorting stations 22, and the processor 31 can call different types of part boxes 200 as needed. With this setup, operators can pick parts according to the instructions of the picking indicator 32 and the storage indicator 33, without having to frequently check the order demand sheet, push the trolley to pick parts, or manually sort empty parts boxes 200. This significantly reduces the time spent on picking operations, improves the efficiency of picking operations, and also helps reduce the labor intensity of operators. At the same time, picking according to the instructions helps reduce the probability of picking errors.
[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the conveying device 21 includes an outbound conveyor line 211, a transfer conveyor line 212, and an inbound conveyor line 213 connected in sequence. A sorting table 22 is installed on the side of the transfer conveyor line 212 away from the parts warehouse 1. The sorting table 22 can receive parts boxes 200 via the transfer conveyor line 212. A handling device is used to place the parts boxes 200 into the outbound conveyor line 211 and to move the parts boxes 200 out of the inbound conveyor line 213. The outbound conveyor line 211 transports the parts boxes 200 to the transfer conveyor line 212, and the inbound conveyor line 213 transports the parts boxes 200 into the parts warehouse 1. This arrangement ensures that the outbound and inbound transport of the parts boxes 200 does not occupy the same conveyor line, eliminating the backflow or reverse movement of the conveyor line, forming a closed loop between the conveying device 21 and the parts warehouse 1, which is beneficial for improving the transportation efficiency of the parts boxes 200. The transfer conveyor line 212 is equipped with multiple lifting and traversing devices (or lifting and transplanting machines). The lifting and traversing devices are used to move the component boxes 200 to their corresponding sorting tables 22. This device is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0044] For further information, please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of this utility model, the number of conveying devices 21 is at least two layers, and each layer of conveyor line 212 is equipped with multiple sorting tables 22. In this embodiment, considering the height limitations of the operator and the height of the parts box 200, two layers of conveying devices 21 are set up, and each layer of conveying devices 21 is equipped with three sorting tables 22. With this setting, on the one hand, the number of sorting tables 22 is increased within the same floor area. When multiple types of parts need to be picked, multiple parts boxes 200 can arrive at different sorting tables 22 in sequence, avoiding the situation where parts boxes 200 have to queue up and wait for sorting tables 22 due to insufficient number of sorting tables 22. This allows the operator to pick up another type of part in time after picking up one type of part, thereby improving the efficiency of the picking operation. On the other hand, the processor 31 can flexibly adjust the destination of the parts boxes 200 according to the load of each layer of conveying devices 21, avoiding the accumulation of parts boxes 200 in a certain layer of outbound conveyor line 211.
[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveying device 21 also includes an emergency dispatch station 23 and an emergency controller 24. The emergency dispatch station 23 is connected to the transfer conveyor line 212 located at the bottom layer. The emergency controller 24 is installed on one side of the emergency dispatch station 23 and is communicatively connected to the processor 31. When the production line needs to temporarily increase the demand for parts or when operators miss or pick the wrong parts, the emergency controller 24 can be used to temporarily transport the required parts boxes 200 from the parts warehouse 1 to the emergency dispatch station 23 for operators to temporarily pick. The emergency controller 24 includes one of a computer, a mobile terminal, and an electronic tag. This setup improves the fault tolerance of the picking flow line 100, eliminating the need to stop the operation of the picking flow line 100 due to emergencies, thereby reducing the impact of emergencies on picking efficiency.
[0046] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the outbound conveyor line 211 and the inbound conveyor line 213 are parallel, the transfer conveyor line 212 is perpendicular to the outbound conveyor line 211, and the transfer conveyor line 212 is positioned opposite to the parts warehouse 1. This layout avoids the long paths that would result from the outbound conveyor line 211, the transfer conveyor line 212, and the inbound conveyor line 213 being arranged in parallel or at a certain angle, thus reducing the floor space required. This compact layout allows the operator to have a complete view of the conveying device 21, ensuring that any malfunctions or other problems on any of the conveyor lines can be detected by the operator in a timely manner.
[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6Along the direction gradually moving away from the parts storage 1, the top surface of the sorting table 22 tilts downwards vertically, and the top surface of the sorting table 22 is used to support the parts box 200. Let α be the angle between the side of the sorting table 22 and the side of the transfer conveyor line 212, then 0°<α≤10°. With this setting, the sorting table 22 can tilt downwards, and when the parts box 200 is located on the sorting table 22, the opening of the parts box 200 can tilt towards the operator, so that the operator can easily observe and pick up the parts, thereby improving the operator's comfort when performing the picking operation.
[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, the picking workflow 100 further includes a barcode scanning device (not shown). The barcode scanning device includes a mounting frame and a barcode scanner mounted on the mounting frame. The mounting frame encloses a scanning space, and the inbound conveyor line 213 passes through the scanning space. Information codes are provided on the surface of the component boxes 200. The barcode scanner is used to scan the information codes and is communicatively connected to the processor 31. The information codes are used to record the identification information of the component boxes 200. By scanning the information codes, the processor 31 can identify the type of component boxes 200 entering the component warehouse 1, thereby enabling the handling device to classify and store the component boxes 200 so that the handling device can promptly transport the component boxes 200 to the outbound conveyor line 211 during the next picking operation.
[0049] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 5 The sorting table 22 includes a base frame 221, a drive motor, and multiple rollers 222. The drive motor is communicatively connected to the processor 31. The multiple rollers 222 are installed parallel to each other on the base frame 221, and the drive motor is connected to the rollers 222 for transmission. The drive motor can drive the multiple rollers 222 to rotate via belt or gear transmission, so that the rollers 222 can carry the part boxes 200 into or out of the sorting table 22. This facilitates timely maintenance of the sorting table 22. When a roller 222 is damaged, only the roller 222 needs to be replaced to complete the repair, reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The picking indicator 32 includes a picking confirmation button 322 and a picking indicator light 321. The storage indicator 33 also includes multiple storage confirmation buttons 332, with each storage confirmation button 332 corresponding to a storage indicator light 331. The indicator lights have a simple structure, and the information they contain is easy to understand, eliminating the need for operators to process and understand the information further. This facilitates quick operation by operators and improves picking efficiency.
[0051] In one embodiment of this utility model, the picking workflow 100 further includes a display (not shown), which is communicatively connected to the processor 31 and is used to display picking tasks. The picking tasks include the type and quantity of parts to be picked, as well as the types of parts in each sorting station 22.
[0052] Taking the picking of parts a and b as an example, according to the scheme of this utility model embodiment, part a is placed in part box a and part b is placed in part box b. When picking is performed, part boxes a and b enter sorting table a and sorting table b respectively through outbound conveyor line 211 and transfer conveyor line 212. The operator picks parts a and b in sequence according to the instructions of the display and picking indicator 32. In this process, the operator first presses the picking confirmation button 322 corresponding to sorting table a to send the information to processor 31 to start picking part a. The picked part a is placed in different sequential boxes according to the indication of the storage confirmation indicator. The operator presses the storage confirmation button 332 corresponding to the sequential box to send the information that the placement of part a is completed to processor 31. The operator then presses the picking confirmation button 322 corresponding to sorting station b, sending a message to processor 31 indicating that part a has been picked and part b has begun picking. At this time, part box a enters part warehouse 1 driven by sorting station a, transfer conveyor line 212, and inbound conveyor line 213. The picked part b is placed in different stacked boxes according to the storage confirmation indicator lights. The operator presses the storage confirmation button 332 corresponding to the stacked box, sending a message to processor 31 indicating that part b has been placed. If part b is the last part to be picked, after receiving the message that part b has been placed, processor 31 will instruct sorting station b, transfer conveyor line 212, and inbound conveyor line 213 to transport part box b to part warehouse 1. As part boxes a and b move along the inbound conveyor line 213, the barcode scanner can scan their information codes to send the inbound information of part boxes a and b to the processor 31, so that the processor 31 can know the location information of part boxes a and b as well as the quantity information of parts in part box 200.
[0053] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
