In order to make it easy to understand, in the present invention, " outbound ", which refers to, leaves in shelf array position belonging to itself for shelf carrying It sets, " storage ", which refers to, returns to the position in shelf array for shelf carrying.
First aspect
The first aspect of the present invention is related to a kind of warehousing control method 100 out for shelf array.As shown in figure 3, going out Warehousing control method 100 includes:
In step S101, the outbound task of target shelf is received.Outbound task can be directly from upstream management system Mission dispatching is also possible to select an outbound task from the task pool of scheduling system.These are all in protection model of the invention In enclosing.
It determines according to position of the target shelf in the shelf array in step S102 and carries strategy.Wherein institute If stating and carrying strategy includes: not have to stop shelf or when barrier on the target shelf at least one of them direction, Directly the target shelf are carried out;Otherwise, it determines the removal path of the target shelf, and work as the target shelf When having a plurality of removal path, a removal path is therefrom selected, the blocking shelf on the removal path are removed, then by institute State the removal of target shelf.
It is illustrated by taking Fig. 5 as an example, in shelf 1-48, shelf 1-8 and shelf 9,17,25,33,41 are at least one Do not have the shelf or barrier (such as warehouse boundary, wall or other kinds of barrier) stopped on direction.Therefore such as Fruit target shelf are one of 1-8,9,17,25,33,41, then carrying strategy can directly carry.And if target goods Frame is other shelf, then can not directly carry, it is thus necessary to determine that removes path, and is needed in a plurality of removal path when necessary really A fixed optimal removal path.At this point, carrying strategy includes: to remove the blocking shelf of use removed on path, then incite somebody to action Target shelf remove.In addition, when judging whether target shelf can directly remove, it is only necessary to judge that the front and back of target shelf is left Whether right four direction, which has, stops shelf or barrier, without judging diagonal four direction.Scheduling system can be real When inquire the position distribution situation or distribution map of current shelf in warehouse, to be judged accordingly, details are not described herein again.
Note that in the present invention, " target shelf " refer to a carrying task directly against shelf, " stopping shelf " is Refer to the shelf for stopping the target shelf to be moved out of.
In step S103, the carrying strategy is executed, the target shelf are removed, such as pass through automatic guide vehicle AGV 5 remove the target shelf.Certainly, if being related to shelf being stopped to remove in the carrying strategy, can also lead to Crossing automatic guide vehicle AGV will stop shelf to be removed.
Below with reference to Fig. 4, describe a preferred embodiment according to a first aspect of the present invention goes out warehousing control method 200。
As shown in figure 4, in step S201, when up-stream system (client management system 1 of example as shown in figure 1) is needed target goods When frame is transported to setting progress access operation from shelf array, up-stream system needs are sent to scheduling system in a manner of task 2 (outbound scheduler tasks) of system, scheduling system is uniformly put into task pool after receiving task, facilitates subsequent scheduling.One is appointed It is engaged in for example may include: mission number, shelf code, the information such as priority also can according to need increase other information.
In step S202, specifying information of the system according to task, the priority of COMPREHENSIVE CALCULATING task, from task pool are dispatched In take a suitable task to dispatch.For example, scheduling system can be according to the priority of task, task creation time or etc. To the time, shelf location (such as can inquire to obtain by shelf code), the factors such as complexity are executed, to appointing in task pool Business is ranked up, or therefrom a task is selected to implement to be scheduled.
Specifically, scheduling system can select next pending task according to priority from task pool, high is excellent First grade, which is generally meant that, to be first carried out.In addition, certain priority might mean that task needs to be performed immediately, then having this excellent The task of first grade must be detected from task pool immediately, and arrange to execute.Alternatively, scheduling system can refer to the waiting time It selects next pending task from task pool, such as selects having waited maximum duration of the task from task pool, connect Get off and arrange to execute, can be stored in task pool to avoid a certain task be not performed too long and in this way.Alternatively, scheduling system System can be according to the position of shelf and/or the complexity of execution, to determine next pending task.For example, for outbound tune Degree task can arrange to execute task corresponding to the shelf that those can directly be carried first.With reference to Fig. 5, for example, if goods Frame 5 and 21 requires to carry out outbound operation, then (can be by whether having according to the complexity of the position of shelf and/or outbound Stop shelf and stop the number of shelf to assess), in that case it can be decided that the outbound of shelf 5 is first carried out, shelf 21 are then executed Outbound task.Certainly, those skilled in the art are also it is contemplated that factors above is combined together, according to certain constraint item Part selects next pending task from task pool.
Next, determining optimal carrying strategy in step S203.Optimal carrying strategy is described below.For example, for wanting The task of outbound carries strategy if target shelf are not stopped by other shelf directly to carry out target shelf Library does not need the movement routine of calculating task.If target shelf are stopped by other blocking shelf, the optimal shifting of calculating task is needed Dynamic path is as optimal carrying strategy.According to a preferred embodiment, the optimal movement routine of calculating task is mainly in view of mesh The number that mark shelf are blocked in all directions, calculating task target shelf are in for stopping shelf present on four direction Number takes and stops the smallest path of number as optimal path.
Additionally preferably can by breadth first search combination shelf stop number number and shelf carry strategy really Fixed optimal movement routine.If there are multiple mobile paths, need to assess every movement routine, selects an optimal mobile road Diameter.Such as every summation for removing each removal load for stopping shelf on path can be calculated, it is comprehensive most that selection removes load Small removal path.Remove load for example can be stop shelf number, move away from stop shelf moving distance, move away from blocking goods The weighted sum of the number of turns of frame can also only consider the wherein combination to a factor or Multiple factors.It can be according to specific The needs of occasion select corresponding evaluation index.Reference Fig. 5 is provided into the embodiment for calculating optimal movement routine hereinafter.
