It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of and not restrictive on the broad invention. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some structures, not all structures, relating to the embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an item picking method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where this embodiment is applicable to a case where items are picked and stored, and the method may be executed by a device such as a computer, and specifically includes the following steps:
and S101, acquiring size information of the article, and determining a storage mode of the article according to the size information.
The articles are products for other people produced by manufacturers, such as daily necessities for consumers, and can be large articles or small articles. The items may be stored in a warehouse logistics center and shipped out of the warehouse as needed to reach the customer. The items may be stored in shelves at a warehouse logistics center, such as on a stand-alone warehouse to improve storage space utilization. Fig. 1a is a schematic diagram of an article being stored in a shelf in the prior art, as shown in fig. 1a, a plurality of transfer containers 2 having the same volume are placed in the shelf 1, where the transfer containers are used for placing articles, and the storage utilization rate of this storage method is high, but the volume of the articles placed in the transfer containers is limited, and only articles having a small volume can be placed in the transfer containers, and this storage method cannot be applied to articles having a large specification. Another mode of storing articles in a shelf in the prior art is that a transfer container and original articles are sequentially and jointly stored in the shelf, wherein the original articles in the original container are used or the articles are directly stored in the shelf.
In one embodiment, upon detecting the storage of an item, size information for the item is obtained. The article storage can be a process of placing the articles into the shelves for storage by the conveying line, and the process can complete the handling and storage of the articles by an automatic control device such as a mechanical arm. The dimensional information of the article includes the size of the article, such as the length, width and height of the article.
In one embodiment, the sensing signal may be detected by a sensor disposed around the shelf or at the item delivery line and transmitted to the computing device, which determines from the sensing signal whether any items need to be stored, which may be an infrared sensor, camera, or other sensing device that may be used to detect items.
In one embodiment, the item and corresponding size information are stored in advance in a database of the computing device, and upon detecting storage of the item, an identity of the item is determined to obtain size information corresponding to the item. Specifically, taking the storage of articles through a conveying line as an example, when the articles sequentially enter the conveying line, each article is sequentially scanned according to the sequence of entering the conveying line and transmits the scanned data to the computing device, the computing device sequentially records the identifiers of the scanned articles, and sequentially determines the size information of the corresponding articles according to the sequence of the recorded identifiers of the articles when the articles are stored. In another embodiment, the image of the article is captured by the camera device, the image of the article is transmitted to the computing device, the computing device determines the dimension information of the article according to the article size in the image of the article, for example, the top view of the article is captured above the article for determining the length and width of the article, the camera on one side of the article captures the side view of the article for determining the height of the article, specifically, the dimension information of the article can be determined according to the proportion of the article in the image and preset parameters, such as 1/4 that the length of the article occupies the whole image, the preset parameters are 1 meter, the length information of the article is calculated by multiplying the proportion value by the preset parameters, that is, the length is 0.25 meter, the calculation mode and the length of the width and the height of the article are similar and are not described herein, thereby the dimension information of the article can be automatically identified without manual entering or performing related processing operations by personnel, the waste of human resources is avoided, and meanwhile the accuracy of the acquired article size information is guaranteed.
In one embodiment, the storage mode includes a first storage mode and a second storage mode, where the first storage mode may refer to that the article is directly stored in the warehouse in an original packaging manner, and the second storage mode may refer to that the article is placed in a turnover container and the turnover container is stored in the warehouse. According to the size information of the article, the corresponding storage mode is determined, for example, a size threshold (such as a length threshold, a width threshold and a height threshold) may be set, when any one of the length, the width or the height of the article is greater than the corresponding length threshold, the width threshold and the height threshold (an exemplary length threshold, width threshold and height threshold may be 0.5 meter), the storage mode of the article is determined to be the first storage mode, and otherwise, the storage mode is determined to be the second storage mode.
And S102, determining a storage position corresponding to the article according to the storage mode.
In one embodiment, the items are stored in designated positions in the shelves, the storage positions of the items determined according to the item storage mode may be pre-generated virtual positions, each virtual position corresponds to a specific position of one shelf, i.e., a storage position of an item, and the virtual positions are associated with size data of the items that can be stored in the position, such as how many centimeters of the items can be stored in each of the length, the width and the height, for example, the size information of the items is determined to be 50cm x 30cm, and the storage mode of the items is determined to be the first storage mode, the virtual positions in the shelves are traversed, and the virtual position in the virtual position that satisfies the size information and has the smallest size data is determined to be the storage position of the item. In one embodiment, after the storage of the item is completed, the virtual position corresponding to the storage position is correspondingly calibrated to be occupied, and the item information of the item is correspondingly recorded for automatic extraction of subsequent items, and simultaneously all (or the row) virtual positions of the shelf can be correspondingly adjusted to obtain an updated virtual position.
When the article is determined to be in the second storage mode, two modes of determining the storage position can be adopted, the position, in the current inventory position, meeting the size of the turnover container is determined to be the storage position, a subsequent control command is used for placing the article into the turnover container, and the turnover container is moved to the storage position, or whether the turnover container meeting the size of the stored article size information exists in the current inventory position is determined, and if the turnover container exists, the position of the turnover container is determined to be the storage position of the article.
And step S103, sending a control instruction to move the article to the storage position to finish the storage of the article.
In one embodiment, the storage of the articles is completed in a fully automated mode, wherein the storage and handling of the articles are completed by issuing control commands to control the robotic arms. For example, the control instruction can control the mechanical arm to complete grabbing of the article and displacement to the determined storage position so as to complete storage of the article, specifically, different storage positions correspond to different horizontal displacement and vertical displacement, the horizontal displacement and the vertical displacement are relative displacement of the mechanical arm after the mechanical arm grabs the article, if the horizontal displacement is 1 meter and the vertical displacement is 0.8 meter, the mechanical arm displaces 1 meter to the left after grabbing the article, and displaces 0.8 meter upwards, the corresponding mechanical arm releases the grabbed article after the mechanical arm controller moves to the corresponding storage position, and another article is stored in the determined storage position, so that the automation level of article storage is improved, the article storage efficiency is further improved, and human resources are saved.
According to the scheme, the size information of the articles is acquired, the corresponding storage mode is obtained according to the size information to select the appropriate storage position to complete storage of the articles, the problem that the storage space utilization rate is low when the large articles cannot be stored in the storage space (in the prior art, the large articles need to be placed in the turnover container and cannot be directly stored in the storage space), the storage space is saved, the shelf utilization rate is improved, meanwhile, different storage modes are determined according to different size information of the stored articles and different modes are adopted for storage, the mode of the first storage mode is adopted for the large articles, the storage requirement of the large articles is met, and the storage utilization rate is further improved by adopting the mode of the second storage mode for the small articles.

As shown in fig. 3, the technical solution is as follows:
and S301, acquiring the size information of the article.
Step S302, determining a storage mode of the article according to the size information, and if the storage mode of the article is a second storage mode, determining a position meeting the size of the turnover container in the current inventory position as a storage position.
In one embodiment, when the size of the item is small, a second storage mode may be employed, i.e. placing the item into a turnaround container, storing the turnaround container on a shelf (stand). Illustratively, when the length, width and height of the stored article are less than 0.15 m, the article is placed in the turnover container by controlling the mechanical arm, and the turnover container is placed in the determined storage position, in the second storage mode, wherein the size of the turnover container can be 0.4 m in length, width and height. The determined storage position is a position that satisfies the size of the circulation container, and the specific determination manner may be referred to the explanation part of step S102, which is not described herein again.
Step S303, sending a control command to place the article into the turnover container and move the turnover container to the storage position.
According to the method, after the size information of the articles is determined, if the sizes of the articles are small, the articles are placed in the turnover container for storage, so that the inventory utilization rate is guaranteed, and meanwhile, the articles are convenient to arrange.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of another item picking method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, determining a storage location corresponding to the item according to the storage mode includes: if the storage mode of the article is the second storage mode, determining whether a turnover container meeting the size of the size information exists in the current inventory location, and if so, determining the position of the turnover container as the storage location of the article. As shown in fig. 4, the technical solution is as follows:
and S401, acquiring the size information of the article.
Step S402, determining the storage mode of the article according to the size information.
And S403, if the storage mode of the article is the second storage mode, determining whether a turnover container meeting the size of the size information exists in the current inventory position, and if so, determining the position of the turnover container as the storage position of the article.
In one embodiment, when the storage mode of the article is determined to be the second storage mode, whether a turnover container meeting the size of the article size information exists in the current inventory position is determined, if yes, the position of the turnover container is determined as the storage position of the article, namely whether the turnover container in the inventory can contain the article is determined, and if yes, the position of the turnover container is determined as the storage position of the article for storing the article.
And S404, sending a control instruction to move the article to the storage position to finish the storage of the article.
Therefore, when the articles are stored, the articles which can be stored in the erected turnover container are stored in the turnover container, the utilization rate of the turnover container is improved, the utilization rate of the inventory space is further improved, and the inventory storage space is further saved.
