Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
According to the method, all bag falling openings in the sorting area are grouped, and through the inter-group balancing method and/or the intra-group balancing method, sorting orders with different package quantities can be relatively and uniformly distributed to the bag falling openings, so that the traffic jam of automatic sorting vehicles is improved, and the sorting efficiency of a warehouse is improved.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a sorting warehouse layout according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 1, in the sorting warehouse, a large number of bag falling openings 11 (as shown in a square frame) are provided, each bag falling opening corresponds to one dumping point 12 (as shown in a round frame), the automatic sorting vehicle carrying the packages moves to a specified dumping point corresponding to the specified bag falling opening, and the carried packages are dumped to the specified bag falling opening at the specified dumping point.
And grouping all the bag falling openings in the sorting area according to the layout of the sorting warehouse and the traveling direction of the automatic sorting vehicles in the sorting warehouse. The bag falling openings in the same sorting channel are divided into a bag falling opening group. The automatic sorting vehicle can reach each bag opening in the sorting channel when running in the sorting channel. For example, the grouping A/B/C/D of 4 bag falling openings is divided in the figure 1. The number of drop pockets in each drop pocket grouping may be the same or different.
For convenience of description, a first coordinate axis (set as y-axis) is constructed along the extending direction of the sorting passage, and a second coordinate axis (set as x-axis) is set perpendicular to the extending direction of the sorting passage. The x-axis coordinate of each bag falling opening in the same bag falling opening group is the same, and the y-axis coordinate is different.
Fig. 2 is a flow diagram of some embodiments of a parcel sorting method of the present disclosure. According to the embodiment, through the inter-group balancing method and/or the intra-group balancing method, the sorting orders with different package quantities can be relatively and uniformly distributed to the bag falling openings, the traffic jam of the automatic sorting vehicle is improved, and the sorting efficiency of the warehouse is improved.
As shown in fig. 2, the method of this embodiment includes: steps 21-24.
In step 21, all the bag falling openings in the sorting area are grouped, and the bag falling openings in the same bag falling opening group are located in the same sorting channel.
In step 22, the individual sorted orders are assigned to the individual drop pocket groups by an inter-group balancing method.
The method for interclass equalization comprises the following steps: sorting each sorting order according to the number of packages in the sorting order; and according to the sorting sequence of the sorting lists, sequentially and circularly distributing the sorting lists in each bag falling port group. The total amount of the packages grouped by each bag falling opening is balanced, the traffic jam of the automatic sorting vehicle is improved, and the sorting efficiency of the warehouse is improved.
An intergroup equalization method of a sigmoid distribution mode comprises the following steps: sorting each sorting order according to the number of packages in the sorting order; and according to the sorting order of the sorting lists, sequentially distributing the sorting lists to the falling bag mouth groups according to the falling bag mouth grouping order and the reverse order, and repeatedly executing until the sorting lists are distributed completely.
As shown in FIG. 3, assuming that the bag drop grouping sequence is A/B/C/D and the reverse sequence is D/C/B/A, in one distribution cycle, 10- > A (indicating that the sorting order with the number of packages being 10 is distributed to the bag drop grouping A, and the other is similar), 9- > B (indicating that the sorting order with the number of packages being 9 is distributed to the bag drop grouping B), 8- > C,7- > D,6- > D,5- > C,4- > B,3- > A, the distribution cycle is repeated until the sorting orders are distributed. This assignment is like the shape of the letter S and is therefore named S-shaped assignment.
An interclass equalization method for linear distribution includes: sorting each sorting order according to the number of packages in the sorting order; and according to the sorting sequence of the sorting lists, sequentially distributing the sorting lists to the falling bag opening groups according to the falling bag opening group sequence, and repeatedly executing until the sorting lists are distributed completely.
As shown in FIG. 4, assuming that the bag drop grouping sequence is A/B/C/D, in one distribution cycle, 10- > A (representing that a sort order with the number of packages being 10 is distributed to the bag drop grouping A, and the rest is similar to the above), 9- > B (representing that a sort order with the number of packages being 9 is distributed to the bag drop grouping B), 8- > C,7- > D, and the distribution cycle is repeated, for example, in the next cycle, 6- > A,5- > B,4- > C,3- > D, until the sort orders are distributed. This dispensing process is shaped like a straight line and is therefore named straight dispensing.
Compared with a linear distribution mode, the S-shaped distribution mode enables the balance of the total amount of the packages grouped by the falling bag openings to be better, the effect of improving the traffic jam of the automatic sorting vehicle to be better, and the sorting efficiency of the warehouse to be improved to a greater extent.
In the above-mentioned various inter-group balancing methods, the bag falling port grouping order may be determined according to an ascending order of the number of bag falling ports in the group, and the sorting order of the sorting list may be determined according to a descending order of the number of packages in the sorting list. Under the condition that the number of the bag falling openings in the bag falling opening groups is different, the difference of the total amount of the packages distributed to the different bag falling opening groups is reduced as much as possible, the balance of the total amount of the packages of each bag falling opening group is further improved, the traffic jam of automatic sorting vehicles is improved, and the sorting efficiency of the warehouse is improved.
In step 23, the sorting list in each bag falling port group is associated with the bag falling port in the bag falling port group by an intra-group balancing method. Therefore, the sorting lists with different parcel quantities can be relatively and evenly distributed to the bag openings of the groups, the phenomenon that the sorting lists with a large parcel quantity are concentrated and appear at certain adjacent bag openings is avoided, the traffic jam of automatic sorting vehicles is improved, and the sorting efficiency of the warehouse is improved.
The intra-group equalization method performs the following operations (1-4) for each drop pocket grouping.
(1) And arranging the falling bag openings in the falling bag opening group from the middle to two sides in the extending direction of the sorting channel where the falling bag opening group is located to obtain a falling bag opening sequence.
In some embodiments, referring to the coordinate system constructed in fig. 1, the bag falling mouths and their first coordinate axis (y axis) coordinates in a certain bag falling mouth group are shown in table 1, the bag falling mouths S and their first coordinate axis coordinates 12 located at the middle position in the bag falling mouth group in the direction of the first coordinate axis are taken out, and then the bag falling mouths in the bag falling mouth group are arranged in ascending order according to the absolute value of the difference, so as to obtain a bag falling mouth sequence (as shown in columns 1-2 in table 2), where the absolute value of the difference is the absolute value of the difference between the first coordinate axis coordinates of each bag falling mouth in the bag falling mouth group and the first coordinate axis coordinates of the bag falling mouth located at the middle position in the bag falling mouth group.
Figure BDA0002183661910000071
(2) The sorted sheets in the drop pocket group are sorted in descending order according to the number of packages in the sorted sheets to obtain a first sorted sheet sequence (as shown in the 3 rd column in table 2).
(3) And taking out the sorting orders with the preset number N from the ith time at the tail of the first sorting order sequence, inserting the sorting orders into the front of the sorting orders with the rank 2i in the first sorting order sequence, and stopping processing until the number of unprocessed sorting orders at the tail of the first sorting order sequence is less than N +2 to obtain a second sorting order sequence.
The relationship between the number of bag falling openings (M) and N (even number) in the bag falling opening group satisfies, for example:
Figure BDA0002183661910000081
as shown in table 3, 4 sorting sheets (the number of packages is 1, 1, 1, 2, respectively) are taken out from the end 1 st time of the first sorting sheet sequence, inserted before the sorting sheet (the number of packages is 28) ranked 2, and then 4 sorting sheets (the number of packages is 3, 3, 3, 4, respectively) are taken out from the end 2 nd time of the first sorting sheet sequence, inserted before the sorting sheet (the number of packages is 218) ranked 4, and the processing is stopped until the unprocessed sorting sheet number at the end of the first sorting sheet sequence is less than 6, so as to obtain a second sorting sheet sequence (as shown in the 3 rd column in table 3).
Figure BDA0002183661910000082
(4) And establishing the incidence relation between the bag falling openings in the bag falling opening sequence and the sorting sheets in the second sorting sheet sequence according to the sequence of the bag falling opening sequence and the sequence of the second sorting sheet sequence.
As shown in table 3, the sequence of the bag falling openings is shown in columns 1-2 of table 3, the sequence of the second sorting order is shown in column 3 of table 3, the association relationship between the bag falling openings and the sorting orders is shown in table 3, and the association relationship between the bag falling openings and the sorting orders is shown in table 4 after the bag falling openings are displayed according to the y-axis coordinate sequence.
As can be seen from table 4, the sorting monodispersion with a large number of packages is distributed to the bag openings of the packages, so that the phenomenon that the automatic sorting vehicles are too concentrated is avoided in the sorting channel where the bag openings of the packages are grouped, the traffic jam of the automatic sorting vehicles is improved, and the sorting efficiency of the warehouse is improved. And the sorting sheets with a large number of packages are distributed from the middle to two sides according to the number of the packages from large to small, for example, the sorting sheets with the number of the packages being 36, 28, 20, 18 and 13 are distributed from the middle to two sides, and correspondingly, the number distribution of occupied automatic sorting vehicles is the same, so that the automatic sorting vehicles are prevented from being jammed at two sides of a sorting channel.
At step 24, a corresponding number of automated sorting vehicles is assigned to each drop pocket, respectively, based on the number of packages in the sort order associated with the drop pocket.
Then, according to the number of packages in the target sort order associated with the target drop pocket, sorting instructions may be sent to a corresponding number of automated sorting vehicles such that each automated sorting vehicle receiving the sorting instructions transports one package in the target sort order to the target drop pocket.
According to the embodiment, all bag falling openings in the sorting area are grouped, and the sorting orders with different package quantities can be relatively and uniformly distributed to the bag falling openings through the inter-group balancing method and/or the intra-group balancing method, so that the traffic jam of automatic sorting vehicles is improved, and the sorting efficiency of the warehouse is improved.
In practical applications, the number of sorted sheets for one sorting operation may be less than or equal to the number of dropped pockets in the sorting area. The sorting method of the embodiment shown in fig. 2 can be performed directly if the number of sorted sheets of a sorting operation is exactly equal to the number of dropped pockets in the sorting area.
When the number of the sorting orders in one sorting operation is smaller than the number of the bag falling openings in the sorting area, before step 22 is executed, the difference value between the number of the sorting orders in one sorting operation and the number of the bag falling openings in the sorting area can be determined as the total number of the bag falling openings needing to be removed in the sorting area in the current sorting operation; then, determining the number of the bag falling openings to be removed in the bag falling opening grouping of the current sorting operation according to the proportion information of all the bag falling openings in each bag falling opening grouping in the sorting area and the total amount of the bag falling openings to be removed in the sorting area of the current sorting operation, for example, multiplying the proportion of all the bag falling openings in each bag falling opening grouping in the sorting area by the total amount of the bag falling openings to be removed in the sorting area of the current sorting operation to obtain the number of the bag falling openings to be removed in the bag falling opening grouping of the current sorting operation; and then, according to the number of bag falling openings needing to be removed in each bag falling opening group, removing the corresponding number of bag falling openings from the bag falling opening group in a random mode. Therefore, the quantity of the bag falling openings participating in distribution is ensured to be consistent with the quantity of the single sorting quantity needing sorting at this time.
