In the embodiment of the present application, a sensor in the picking guide detection component measures sensor data, and sends the sensor data to the control device; the control device detects a corresponding basket of the picking guide detection component according to the sensor data. Bit placement status. The placement status refers to the placement status of the basket corresponding to the sorting box, such as whether the placement position is correct or not, and whether there is a collision.

In the embodiment of the present application, the detection and guidance in the picking guide detection component can cooperate to sort the logistics objects. The control device acquires sensor data from the picking guide detection component, and matches the logistics object information of the logistics object to be placed according to the sensor data to obtain a corresponding matching result. According to the matching result, the picking guide detection component is controlled to perform guide processing. The sensor in the detection component is used to measure and obtain the sensor data and transmit it to the control device. Then the control device can match the sensor data with the logistics object information of the logistics object to be placed to determine the delivery situation of the logistics object. For example, the sensor is a load cell, the sensor data is weight data, and the control device can determine the weight of the logistics object corresponding to the basket position based on the weight data, and compare it with the weight of the logistics object corresponding to the basket position to determine the increase in the basket position. The weight can be used to obtain matching results such as the number of logistics objects placed in the basket, whether the quantity is sufficient, whether the placement is wrong, etc., so as to control the picking guidance detection component to perform the guidance processing of the corresponding basket.

Wherein, the picking guide detection component includes a light emitting device, and the guide processing of the picking guide detection component includes at least one of the following steps:

According to the matching result, the display color of the prompt light can be adjusted according to the matching result. For example, the logistics object needs to be placed in the basket, the prompt light is displayed in yellow, and the logistics object required in the basket is placed. After the completion, the indicator light is displayed in green, and the indicator light is displayed in red after the basket is placed into the logistics object by mistake.

The light emitting device in the light emitting device adjusts the light emitting method, wherein the light emitting method includes lighting or blinking; the light emitting method of the light emitting indicator can be adjusted according to the matching result, and if the logistics object needs to be placed in the basket, the light emitting indicator flashes After the logistics objects required for the basket position have been placed, the prompt light is turned on. After the basket is incorrectly placed with the logistics objects, the prompt light blinks. Among them, different results correspond to different flashing colors of the prompt light. Therefore, it is also possible to combine the color change of the prompt lamp with various light emitting methods.

The digital display module in the light-emitting device adjusts the displayed number; the number displayed by the digital display module can be adjusted according to the matching result. For example, if the number of logistics objects remaining in the basket is determined based on the weight, the displayed The number is adjusted to that amount.

A digital display module in the light emitting device adjusts a digital display mode. The display mode of the digital display module can be adjusted according to the matching result. For example, if the logistics object needs to be placed in the basket, the digital display module flashes and displays the number. After the logistics object required in the basket is placed, the digital display module displays Lights up and displays the number. After the basket is mistakenly put into the logistics object, the digital display module flashes, and the extreme value (maximum value or minimum value) of the digital display module can also be displayed. Among them, different results correspond to the flashing of the prompt light. The colors are different. Therefore, the numbers displayed by the digital display module can be combined with various light emitting methods.

When the light-emitting device includes a digital display module and a reminder lamp, the above-mentioned various methods can also be combined to give a reminder to better guide the selection and release of logistics objects.

In the embodiment of the present application, because the size of the sorting box is not fixed, the occupied basket positions are also not fixed. Therefore, one basket position in the picking equipment may correspond to one picking guide detection component or multiple picking guide detection components. Wherein, the basket of the picking equipment has one or more basket sizes, and the basket size is determined according to the size of the logistics object container corresponding to the picking task. According to the size of the logistics object container, determine the size of the position that the basket needs to occupy, that is, the size of the basket.

The detection range of the picking guide detection component is less than or equal to the minimum basket size, so the basket corresponds to one or more picking guide detection components. The control device determines the correspondence between the basket position on the picking device and the picking guide detection component according to the basket position size and the picking guide detection component position layout information, and includes: determining the according to the picking guide position detection component position layout information. The detection range corresponding to the picking guide detection component; matching is performed according to the basket size and the detection range corresponding to the picking guide detection component to determine the correspondence between the basket position on the picking equipment and the picking guide detection component. The position layout information refers to the layout of the picking guide detection component on the picking device, such as the position of the picking guide detection component on the rack of the picking device, etc., so that the detection range corresponding to the picking guide detection component can be determined. The range refers to the measurement range of the sensors in the picking guide detection component, and then matches according to the basket size and the detection range corresponding to the picking guide detection component. For example, the basket size and the detection range are compared to determine the basket position. The number of picking guide detection components to be occupied, so as to determine the correspondence between the determination of the basket position of the picking equipment and the picking guide detection components.

When there are more than one picking guide detection component corresponding to the basket, two or more adjacent picking guide detection components can be used to guide and detect the two or more adjacent picking guide detection components. The corresponding sensor data can determine the status of the basket. When the basket corresponds to a plurality of adjacent picking guide detection components, at least one picking guide detection component can be set in the corresponding relationship between the basket and the picking guide detection components. It should be a basket, and other picking guidance detection components can be shared with other baskets. The light emitting device in the picking guidance detection component corresponding to the basket can be used to guide the position of the basket to reduce guidance errors. For example, the ratio of the basket size to the detection range is 1: 1.2, you can set a basket corresponding to 1.5 picking guide detection components. If the ratio of the basket size and the detection range is 1: 1.7, you can set a basket corresponding to 2 Picking guide detection components.

As shown in FIG. 4A, an example of the relationship between a basket position and a picking guide detection component. In this example, each basket corresponds to a picking guide detection component, and a dotted line is used to represent the range of positions detected by the picking guide detection component. The picking guide detection module 01 corresponds to the basket of the picking box A, the picking guide detection module 02 corresponds to the basket of the picking box B, and the picking guide detection module 03 corresponds to the basket of the picking box C. Each of the baskets can be placed on the basket. The sorting box of each size, shape and material can be determined according to the logistics object to be carried.

As shown in FIG. 4B, another example of the relationship between the basket position and the picking guide detection component. In this example, one basket position corresponds to more than one picking guide detection component. The picking

guide detection components

01 and 02 correspond to the picking box D. For the basket position, the picking

guide detection components

02 and 03 correspond to the basket position of the picking box E, and the sensor data for the picking

guide detection components

01 and 02 can be determined as the basket position corresponding to the picking box D; The sensors of the picking

guide detection components

02 and 03 detect the sensor data and can be determined as the basket position corresponding to the sorting box E; that is, one basket position can be detected by corresponding multiple sensors, and the sensors corresponding to multiple basket positions Can also be combined with other sensors to determine the basket. When a basket corresponds to more than one picking guide detection component, there is a picking guide detection component that uniquely corresponds to the basket position, and the light emitting device of the picking guide detection component can be used to guide the basket, as shown in FIG. 4B The basket position corresponding to the sorting box D is indicated by the picking guide detection component 01, and the basket position corresponding to the sorting box E is instructed by the picking guide detection component 03.

Among them, the reminder lamp can indicate the release status of the corresponding basket position by color; the reminder lamp displays different colors for different release statuses, thereby intuitively indicating the status of the basket position. After the control device determines the placement status of each basket position, for the basket position whose placement status has changed, a guidance instruction may be sent to the corresponding basket position, so as to prompt the change of the basket placement status by a prompt light, wherein the prompt light, It is displayed as a first color when the basket position is in the ready-to-drop state; and when the basket position is changed from the ready-to-drop state to the released state, it is changed to the second color after blinking for a set period of time. For example, the indicator light is yellow when it is in the ready-to-delivery state. After the logistics object is released, the control device determines that the release status of the basket is changed to released according to the sensor data, and can send an instruction to the picking guide detection component, so that the indicator light can Flashes for 5 seconds, then changes to green.

Referring to FIG. 5, a flowchart of steps of another embodiment of a guidance detection method for picking logistics objects according to the present application is shown.

Step 502: The control device obtains picking task information, and determines a basket size according to the picking task information.

Step 504: Determine a detection range corresponding to the picking guide detection component according to the position layout information of the picking guide detection component.

In step 506, matching is performed according to the basket size and the detection range corresponding to the picking guide detection component to determine the correspondence between the basket position on the picking equipment and the picking guide detection component.

The control device can obtain the picking task information of the picking task, and the picking task information includes basket position information such as the position of each basket on the picking device and the size of the basket, and the corresponding logistics object list of each basket. The position layout information refers to the layout of the picking guide detection component on the picking device, such as the position of the picking guide detection component on the rack of the picking device, etc., so that the detection range corresponding to the picking guide detection component can be determined. The range refers to the measurement range of the sensors in the picking guide detection component, and then matches according to the basket size and the detection range corresponding to the picking guide detection component. For example, the basket size and the detection range are compared to determine the basket position. The number of picking guide detection components to be occupied, so as to determine the correspondence between the determination of the basket position of the picking equipment and the picking guide detection components.

Step 508: The control device controls the picking guide detection component to guide and detect the corresponding delivery of the logistics object.

Among them, the control of the control device includes detecting the status of the basket position and giving a prompt during the sorting process of the entire picking task, as shown in FIG. 6, and may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S602, receiving sensor data measured by a sensor in a picking guide detection component;

Sub-step S604: Calculate the state of the corresponding basket position of the picking guide detection component according to the sensor data.

The control device can calculate the state of the corresponding basket position of the picking guide detection component according to the sensor data. The state includes the placement state of the basket position and the release state. The detection method of the state can be determined according to the actual sensor.

Take a weight sensor as an example. If a weight increase is detected, it indicates that the basket is placed with a logistics object. It can be combined with whether the logistics object has scanned the code, whether the scanned logistics object has been placed, whether the basket needs a logistics object, and whether logistics is required. The weight and other conditions of the object determine the delivery status of the basket; if a decrease in weight is detected, it indicates that the logistics object in the basket has been taken away, and even the sorting box on the basket may fall off the picking equipment. Corresponds to the determination of the placement of the basket; if the weight repeatedly increases and decreases in a short time, such as 2 seconds, the sorting box on the basket may collide with other sorting boxes or items, resulting in the sorting box In an unstable situation, you can also determine the placement of the basket accordingly.

In step S606, it is determined whether a prompt is required.

According to the status, it is determined whether the guidance is required to be guided by the picking guide detection component, such as an incorrect release status, a basket corresponding to the sorting box is incorrectly placed, and a basket corresponding to the collision of the sorting box. It can be judged that a prompt is required.

If yes, execute sub-step S608; if not, return to sub-step S602 to continue receiving sensor data to control the sorting process of the picking task.

In step S608, a guidance instruction is sent to the corresponding picking guidance detection component.

Therefore, the control device can determine the status of the picking guide detection component corresponding to the basket position based on the sensor data, so as to prompt based on the status and improve the sorting efficiency.

The control of the control equipment also includes the guidance and detection control of the delivery of the code-scanning logistics objects, as shown in FIG. 7, which may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S702: Receive logistics object information obtained by a code scanning device by scanning a logistics object to be placed.
