All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
It is to be noted that the terms "comprises" and "comprising" and any variations thereof in the embodiments and drawings of the present invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
The embodiment of the invention discloses a method for controlling an AGV to carry out material taking and placing operations and a goods position management system, which can know the goods position condition, thereby reducing the probability of the occurrence of misoperation events of the AGV. The following are detailed below.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for controlling an AGV to perform a material picking operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method for controlling the AGV to perform the material picking and placing operation may include the following steps:
101. and the goods position management system receives a state query instruction of the target AGV car for the target goods position.
As an optional implementation manner, before receiving a state query instruction of a target AGV for a target slot, the slot management system may further obtain state information of all AGV, and determine whether there is an AGV in a non-working state (not executing any task of taking and placing materials currently) according to the state information, if there is an AGV in a non-working state, determine the AGV in the non-working state as the target AGV, and issue a task of taking and placing materials for the target slot to the target AGV, so that the target AGV sends the state query instruction for the target slot to the slot management system after receiving the task of taking and placing materials. Further optionally, after determining that there is an AGV in a non-working state, position information of all AGV in the non-working state may be obtained, and a target AGV may be determined according to the type of the task of picking and placing the material (picking or placing the material) and the position information. It should be noted that the task of picking and placing the material may be issued by the goods space management system to the target AGV, or may be issued by a client having a requirement for the target material to the target AGV through a client terminal.
102. And the goods position management system inquires the current state of the target goods position from the stored goods position state database according to the state inquiry instruction.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the current state of the target cargo space may include four types, that is, to-be-taken, to-be-put, and not-to-be-put, where to-be-taken indicates that the cargo space management system has sent an execution instruction to the AGV (the execution instruction is used for the AGV to go to the target cargo space to execute the material fetching task), but has not received a task completion instruction sent by the AGV currently; the target goods position is used for storing the target goods position, and the target goods position is used for storing the target goods position; the method comprises the steps that a material fetching task for a target goods position is already put, wherein the material is currently placed in the target goods position, and no AGV trolley is executing the material fetching task for the target goods position; not put means that the target bay is not currently having any material placed and that no AGV carts are performing a put material task for the target bay.
103. The goods position management system judges whether the target goods position meets the pick-and-place condition according to the current state, and if the target goods position meets the pick-and-place condition, the step 104 is executed; and if the target goods position does not meet the pick-and-place condition, ending the process.
In the embodiment of the present invention, it should be noted that, if the target cargo space does not satisfy the condition, the cargo space management system may further send an error prompt message to the target AGV, where the error prompt message is used to prompt that the target cargo space does not satisfy the pick-and-place condition of the target AGV; or, the goods location management system detects whether there is a goods location meeting a pick-and-place condition corresponding to a task to be executed by the target AGV from all the goods locations within a preset distance threshold (e.g. 3m) from the target goods location, if not, an error prompt message is sent to the target AGV, and if so, one of the goods locations within the preset distance threshold (e.g. 3m) from the target goods location is fed back to the target AGV to trigger the target AGV to execute a pick-and-place task for the one of the goods locations.
For steps 101 to 103, for example, when the material picking and placing task received by the target AGV is to place the target material in the target slot (i.e., the material placing task), the slot management system receives a state query instruction for the target slot sent by the target AGV to the slot management system, and queries the current state of the target slot according to the state query instruction, if the current state of the target slot is not put in (i.e., the target slot does not currently have any material placed and no AGV is executing the material placing task for the target slot), it may be determined that the current state of the target slot satisfies the picking and placing conditions, and step 104 is executed.
104. And the goods location management system sends an execution instruction to the target AGV so that the target AGV executes a task of taking and placing the materials aiming at the target goods location.
In the embodiment of the invention, the target AGV trolley can establish communication connection with the goods position management system through the built-in communication module in the process of executing the task of taking and placing the materials aiming at the target goods position. Optionally, the cargo space management system may monitor, in real time, a communication environment around the target AGV through each spectrum sensing module in a process of executing a task of picking and placing a material for the target cargo space, so as to acquire an idle frequency band in the communication environment, detect whether a receiving time of receiving a communication message sent by the target AGV is longer than a preset receiving time, and switch, if so, a current frequency band in communication with the target AGV to the monitored idle frequency band. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can timely switch the current communication frequency band to the idle frequency band when detecting that the communication effect between the goods space management system and the target AGV trolley is not good, thereby improving the communication smoothness degree between the goods space management system and the target AGV trolley.
As an optional implementation manner, after an execution instruction is sent to the target AGV, so that the target AGV executes a task of taking and placing the material for the target cargo space, the cargo space management system may further collect reflected light information formed by the laser installed on the target AGV irradiating other AGV equipped with a reflector, acquire a light intensity image according to the collected reflected light information, and determine the distance between the target AGV and the other AGV according to the area size of the light intensity image. The light intensity image projected on the reflector by the laser emitted by the laser changes along with the change of the distance between two trolleys (a target AGV and other AGV trolleys), and particularly, the area of the light intensity image is larger when the distance between the two trolleys is shorter; when the distance between the two trolleys is longer, the area of the light intensity image is smaller. Therefore, the distance between the two AGV trolleys can be determined according to the size of the light intensity image formed on the reflector by the laser, and the problems that the target AGV trolley cannot effectively avoid and easily collides with other AGV trolleys in the process of executing the task of taking and placing materials are effectively solved.
