The layout example of automatic logistics sorting system
In the existing automatic logistics sorting system using robot, first, system that employs the high knot of paralell Structure (such as building steel platform), robot are operated in above platform, and the container for parcel of plugging into is located at below platform.Though this structure The purpose of sorting is so reached, but platform is built and used so that the system all big discounting in terms of flexibility and cost Button, thus need the automatic logistics sorting system that flexibility is stronger, cost is lower.
In addition, in said system, fall goods lattice mouth in the form of an array in robot motion region (as shown in figure 1, falling Goods lattice mouth is in an array manner in steel platform plane).Therefore, robot, which is performed in drop piece task process, can cause other machines Intersect between device people wait or robot and avoid, robot waits or avoiding can reduce the sort efficiency of whole system. Especially, when robot quantity is more, robot density is larger in the system, robot performs machine caused by drop piece task People waits or avoiding can be such that whole system efficiency declines rapidly.
Therefore, it is desirable to further improved on the basis of the automatic logistics sorting system, with overcome the bottleneck of system effectiveness, Reducing robot drop piece causes robot to wait or intersect the efficiency for avoiding, effectively improving parcel automatic logistics sorting system.
On the flexibility problem of automatic logistics sorting system, because the periodic factor of logistic industry, automatic logistics Requirement of the sorting system for flexibility is very high.Specifically, for logistic industry, the article of required transport shows Obvious Wave crest and wave trough distribution, for example, for express delivery industry, the drastically increasing of car loading occurs when catenet is done shopping and saved Add, and in vacation as such as Spring Festival, car loading can also substantially reduce.Therefore, automatic logistics sorting system is required to It is unbalanced that the quantity of this required freight amount is tackled well, so that while guarantee system meets needs, again It is unlikely to cause the idle of system.
Therefore, an example according to embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a kind of automatic logistics sorting system, including:Piece supplying Area, for distributing article to be sorted;Traffic zone, for, the automatic fortune movable within by one or more automatic transportation units Defeated unit transports the article to be sorted;With drop piece area, including multiple sorting destination objects, and the automatic transportation unit is held wherein The row article to be sorted to corresponding sorting destination object drop piece;Wherein, the traffic zone and the drop piece area are positioned at same flat On face, and the traffic zone and the drop piece area be not overlapping.
Relative to the automatic logistics sorting system of use " robot+steel platform " as shown in Figure 1, implemented according to the present invention The automatic logistics sorting system of example uses the arrangement of plane, i.e. traffic zone and drop piece area set in the same plane, so that Avoid cost caused by traffic zone frame height.

Certainly, should it will be understood by those skilled in the art that in automatic logistics sorting system according to embodiments of the present invention Traffic zone and the drop piece area can be arranged directly on ground, can also be arranged on as required in other planes.For example, according to The automatic logistics sorting system of the embodiment of the present invention can also be embodied as three-dimensional automatic logistics sorting system, including be provided with Traffic zone and the multilayer planar in drop piece area.This particularly suitable for site condition it is limited in the case of, so as to fully using height Space is spent, reduces the cost of automatic logistics sorting system.
In addition, in automatic logistics sorting system according to embodiments of the present invention, traffic zone and drop piece area be not overlapping, i.e. Traffic zone and drop piece area occupy the different piece in plane physical space respectively, so that automatic transportation unit is performing drop piece When without waiting for the drop piece of other automatic transportation units or avoided therebetween, significantly improve automatic logistics sorting system The efficiency of system.
Here, the automatic transportation unit in automatic logistics sorting system according to embodiments of the present invention can be robot, Can also be other be used to transporting article can automatic transportation unit.
In addition, the sorting destination object in automatic logistics sorting system according to embodiments of the present invention is related to thing to be sorted Product classification corresponding after being sorted.For example, in delivery industry, usual sorting destination object corresponds to one especially Transportation route, and the sorting destination object can be for accommodating the appearance of parcel for needing to be transported through the transportation route Device.But it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the sorting destination object in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited in corresponding to spy Fixed transportation route, it relates to corresponding classification after other goods sortings, such as the size of article, the characteristic of article (frangible degree etc.).
Sum it up, automatic logistics sorting system according to embodiments of the present invention provides a kind of not weighing with plane The automatic logistics sorting system of folded region arrangement, its core are the plane in traffic zone and drop piece area not arranged superposed.Therefore, Sorted it will be understood by those skilled in the art that whether actually needing segregating articles in automatic logistics according to embodiments of the present invention The essential feature that sorting is not automatic logistics sorting system according to embodiments of the present invention is carried out in system.That is, i.e. Make no automatic transportation unit that article to be sorted is transported into drop piece area via traffic zone from piece supplying area, as long as traffic zone and drop piece Area has the not arranged superposed of plane, is intended to be included within protection scope of the present invention.
Also, multiple sorting destination objects that drop piece area includes also are not necessarily the objects with entity, for example, can So that drop piece zoning is divided into multiple regions, and each region corresponds to a sorting destination object, so as to realize the sorting of article. Certainly, it can also be the shelf of entity, goods basket etc. to sort destination object.Also, in order to improve the flexibility of system, when sorting mesh When mark object is the container for accommodating article, this container is preferably moveable, so that after being filled, Ke Yijin Row is easily changed.
That is, in automatic logistics sorting system according to embodiments of the present invention, the sorting destination object is to be used for Accommodate the removable container of the article after sorting.
Have already mentioned above, in automatic logistics sorting system according to embodiments of the present invention, the traffic zone and the drop piece It is in area is generally aligned in the same plane and not overlapping.Further, the piece supplying area in the automatic logistics sorting system also with the traffic zone and should In drop piece area is generally aligned in the same plane, and the piece supplying area and the traffic zone and the drop piece area be not overlapping.So, can further pass through The setting in piece supplying area, ensure high flexibility, low cost and the high efficiency of automatic logistics sorting system according to embodiments of the present invention.
In terms of the layout in the piece supplying area of reality, traffic zone and drop piece area, automatic logistics according to embodiments of the present invention point The system of picking can use kinds of schemes.Generally speaking, piece supplying area and drop piece area need to be configured according to traffic zone.For example, In one example, piece supplying area and drop piece area are located at the both sides of traffic zone respectively, so that automatic transportation unit is by by thing Product are transported to the different sorting destination objects in drop piece area from piece supplying area, to realize the sorting of article.Here, traffic zone is according to reality The site condition on border, can be various shapes, for example, traffic zone can be common rectangle and square, in this case, Piece supplying area can be located at the center of a line of traffic zone, and drop piece area is located on the relative edge of traffic zone.Here, this area skill Art personnel are appreciated that when being related to more sorting destination object, and when the area of traffic zone is limited, can be in traffic zone More sides set drop piece area.For example, can be in the traffic zone of rectangle and square, except other three of piece supplying area side Drop piece area is set on side, so as to meet the sorting needs of article.
In another example, piece supplying area can be arranged on to the center of traffic zone, and drop piece area is arranged on traffic zone Surrounding, so, the place of traffic zone can be farthest utilized, this is particularly suited for the situation that site condition is limited.
