Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding, and are to be considered merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the main steps of a method of racking articles based on concentric polygon warehouses, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As a referenceable embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the method for loading and unloading articles based on concentric polygon warehouse according to the embodiment of the present invention may include the following main steps:
step S201: after receiving an article loading instruction, determining a loading storage position of an article to be loaded according to the storage position layout and the historical task list of the concentric polygon warehouse so as to finish loading;
step S202: after receiving an article placing instruction, acquiring attribute information of at least one article to be placed and storage information of at least one article to be placed in a concentric polygon warehouse;
step S203: based on the shelving rules of the concentric polygon warehouse, at least one article to be shelved is divided into at least one shelving task group according to the attribute information and the storage information, and the article is shelved according to the at least one shelving task group.
As can be seen from the above steps S201, S202 and S203, the method for loading and unloading articles based on concentric polygon warehouse according to the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes two parts, namely article loading and article unloading. Step S201 introduces a method for placing articles, specifically, when placing articles, a storage area layout of a concentric polygon warehouse is firstly obtained, wherein the storage area layout can include the position of each storage area of the concentric polygon warehouse and the information of empty storage positions in each storage area, a history task list is also obtained, and the information of articles to be placed on the shelf can be obtained from the history task list, so that the storage area layout and the history task list of the concentric polygon warehouse can be combined to match the storage positions of the articles to be placed on the matched storage positions of the shelf, then the articles to be placed on the shelf can be placed on the matched storage positions of the shelf, thereby realizing effective recommendation of the storage positions of the shelf and dynamic adjustment of the flowability of the articles. Step S202 and step S203 provide a method for placing articles, which is characterized in that when articles are placed on the shelf, attribute information of all articles to be placed on the shelf is acquired first. In addition to the attribute information of the articles to be put down, the storage location information of the articles to be put down in the concentric polygon warehouse, that is, the information of which specific storage location the articles to be put down have in the concentric polygon warehouse, is also acquired. Then, the shelving rules of the concentric polygon warehouse can be followed, and all the goods to be shelving are grouped by combining the acquired attribute information and the storage position information, so that each shelving task group is obtained. Finally, the articles are put down according to the obtained task group, so that the picking time in the process of putting down the articles can be reduced, the picking efficiency is improved, and the production efficiency of the warehouse is further improved.
From the above description, the method for loading and unloading the articles provided by the embodiment of the invention is based on the concentric polygon warehouse, so that one of the innovation points of the embodiment of the invention is the design of the concentric polygon warehouse. As yet another referenceable embodiment of the present invention, a concentric polygon warehouse may comprise: at least one concentric polygon storage area, warehouse entrance and exit and rechecking table; for a concentric polygon storage area, the concentric polygon storage area is provided with at least one access opening, and the storage area access opening of the concentric polygon storage area is opposite to the storage area access opening of the adjacent concentric polygon storage area corresponding to the concentric polygon storage area; the warehouse entry and exit is disposed between the at least one concentric polygonal storage area and the review station.
Under the storage area layout of the current warehouse shown in fig. 1, when articles are put down, the containers and the picking trucks need to be picked up from the entrance, the containers need to be pushed to the rechecking station after the picking is finished, and then the picking trucks and the containers can be tidied to the entrance at random. In this case, not only is the workflow (sorting, collecting the pick-up truck and the container) added, but also more space is occupied to some extent. In order to solve the problems, the concentric polygon warehouse is provided with the entrance and exit integrated with each other, namely, the warehouse outlet and the warehouse inlet are arranged at the same position, and the entrance and exit are arranged between the rechecking platform and the concentric polygon storage area, so that a picking truck and a container can be conveniently picked, the space utilization rate is effectively improved, and the picking time and an invalid path are reduced. In addition, the concentric polygon warehouse of the embodiment of the invention has at least one storage area access port for each concentric polygon storage area, and a channel is arranged between two adjacent concentric polygon storage areas, so that the advantage of the concentric polygon warehouse is that the concentric polygon storage areas can be quickly reached from one storage area to the storage area adjacent to the concentric polygon storage area. In the method for placing the articles in the embodiment of the invention, when the task group for placing the articles is generated, the layout structure of the storage areas is considered, so that the articles in one task group for placing the articles are all positioned in the same storage area, or the articles in one task group for placing the articles are positioned in two adjacent storage areas, the path for placing the articles can be reduced, the efficiency for placing the articles in the warehouse is improved, and the production efficiency of the warehouse is further improved.
Where two concentric polygonal reservoirs are referred to as adjacent to each other with a channel therebetween, in embodiments of the present invention adjacent concentric polygonal reservoirs corresponding to concentric polygonal reservoirs may include: concentric polygonal reservoirs having shortest distances to the concentric polygonal reservoirs within a predetermined distance. For example, assuming that there are 3 concentric polygonal shaped storage areas S1, S2 and S3, if the shortest distance between S1 and S2 is greater than the shortest distance between S1 and S3, there is a connection channel between S1 and S3, that is, one storage area entrance of S1 is disposed opposite to one storage area entrance of S3.
In addition, to further shorten the invalid path, the concentric polygon storage area of the embodiment of the present invention may further include: a central reservoir and at least one edge reservoir, and the edge reservoir and reservoir access ports are disposed circumferentially around the central reservoir. That is, for a concentric polygonal shaped reservoir having a central reservoir and edge reservoirs and reservoir ports disposed around the central reservoir, the reservoir of embodiments of the present invention is configured as a concentric polygon to increase space utilization and reduce the length of inactive paths.
It should also be noted that the concentric polygon warehouse provided by the embodiment of the invention is convenient for loading and unloading articles. Thus, in addition to the opposing locations of the reservoir ports of adjacent concentric polygonal reservoirs, there is at least one particular concentric polygonal reservoir in the concentric polygonal warehouse. Wherein the specific concentric polygon shaped reservoir has at least one specific reservoir access opening disposed opposite the warehouse access opening, that is, the concentric polygon shaped reservoir having the reservoir access opening disposed opposite the warehouse access opening is referred to as the specific polygon shaped reservoir.
For ease of understanding, specific concentric polygon warehouse examples are provided below for explanation. Fig. 3 to 5 are schematic views of a pool layout of a concentric polygon warehouse according to an embodiment of the present invention. The concentric polygon warehouse shown in fig. 3 has A, B, C, D and E five concentric polygon storage areas, and an in-out integrated warehouse entrance and exit is provided between the concentric polygon storage areas and the review station. Wherein, A and B are storage areas close to the rechecking platform, so A and B are specific concentric polygon storage areas, and both have two storage area inlets and outlets; c is a storage area between A, B, D and E, and the four storage areas of A, B, D and E are required to be provided with channels, so that C is provided with four inlets and outlets; d and E are reservoirs furthest from the review station, each having only one access. The entrance a1 of A is opposite to the warehouse entrance, and the entrance a2 is opposite to the entrance C1 of C; the entrance B1 of the B is opposite to the entrance of the warehouse, and the entrance B2 is opposite to the entrance C2 of the C; the inlet D1 of D is opposite to the inlet C3 of C; the inlet E1 of E is disposed opposite to the inlet C4 of C.
To more clearly show the bin layout of the concentric polygon warehouse of an embodiment of the present invention, a layout diagram of the concentric polygon warehouse with 3 bins shown in fig. 4 and a layout diagram of the concentric polygon warehouse with specific 8 bins shown in fig. 5 are provided. In fig. 4, F and G are reservoirs near the review station, i.e., specific concentric polygonal reservoirs, each having two access ports; h is a reservoir remote from the review station and channels are provided between H and A, B reservoirs. F, an inlet F1 and an outlet H1 of the warehouse are arranged oppositely, and an inlet F2 and an outlet H1 of the warehouse are arranged oppositely; the gate G1 of G is disposed opposite to the warehouse gate, and the gate G2 is disposed opposite to the gate H2 of H.
As can be seen from fig. 5, the storage area J has two entrances and exits provided opposite to the entrances and exits of the warehouse, and also has entrances and exits provided opposite to the storage areas L and M; the storage area L and the storage area M are each surrounded by four surrounding storage areas, so that they each have four entrances and exits; the storage areas N and P are the storage areas which are located at the farthest distance from the checking platform, and have a channel only between the storage areas and the adjacent storage areas, so that the storage areas N and P have only one inlet and outlet; the storage areas I and K are provided with an inlet and an outlet which are opposite to the inlet and the outlet of the warehouse, and are provided with an inlet and an outlet which are opposite to the inlet and the outlet of the adjacent storage areas, so that the two inlets and the outlet are provided; the reservoir O is a reservoir remote from the review station, but it has a channel with the reservoir L and the reservoir M, so it has two access ports.
It should be noted that, in the schematic storage area layout diagrams of concentric polygon warehouses shown in fig. 3 to 5, the storage area entrances and exits disposed opposite to the warehouse entrances and exits (a 1 and b1 in fig. 3, f1 and g1 in fig. 4, and i1, j2 and k1 in fig. 5) may be disposed directly opposite to the warehouse entrances and exits, which is not limited by the present invention. Of course, the layout design of the concentric polygon warehouse with five, three or eight storage areas is only described, and the number and the specific layout of the storage areas can be designed according to the actual situation under the principle of meeting the opposite arrangement of the inlets and outlets of two adjacent storage areas, which is not limited. As can also be seen in fig. 3-5, each storage zone includes a central storage zone and edge storage zones disposed about this central storage zone.
The method for loading and unloading the articles provided by the embodiment of the invention is designed based on a concentric polygon warehouse. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the main flow of a method of racking articles based on concentric polygon warehouses, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. As can be seen from fig. 6, the main flow of the method for loading articles based on concentric polygon warehouse according to the embodiment of the present invention may include steps S601 to S604.
In step S601, an empty storage set of the concentric polygon warehouse is obtained according to the storage layout of the concentric polygon warehouse. The storage layout of the concentric polygon warehouse in the embodiment of the invention can comprise the position of each storage area and the storage information of the storage positions in each storage area. After the bin layout of the warehouse is obtained, the set of empty bins in the concentric polygon warehouse may be determined. It should be noted that the empty storage bit set herein includes a set in which a storage bit is empty, and the storage bit can be used normally.
Step S602 is to acquire the frequency information and collocation information of the articles to be put on the shelf according to the historical task list. The historical task list can be a list of articles needing to be put down in a period of time, the occurrence times of the articles to be put down can be obtained according to the list, if the occurrence times are more, the articles to be put down are required to be put down frequently, and therefore the articles to be put down are required to be placed in a storage area which is close to the rechecking platform as much as possible, and the purpose of reducing the path of putting down can be achieved. The matching information of the articles refers to the fact that the articles are frequently matched with the articles in the lower rack from the task list, for example, writing brushes and ink are the articles frequently matched with the lower rack, so that the articles in the two types can be placed in the same storage area as much as possible, and the aim of reducing the lower rack path can be achieved.
Step S603 is to calculate a stored bit value of each empty stored bit, specifically: and acquiring the position information of one empty storage position aiming at one empty storage position in the empty storage position set, and calculating the storage position value of one empty storage position according to the position information of one empty storage position, the frequency information of articles to be put on the shelf and the collocation information. That is, a weight value is set for the position information of the empty storage, the number of times information of the articles to be put on the shelf, and the collocation information, and then the storage value of the empty storage is calculated according to the weight value. In the method for placing the articles on the shelf, the frequency information and the collocation information of the articles are considered, so that the dynamic adjustment of the flow of the articles can be realized.
Finally, step S604 is to determine that the empty storage position with the largest storage position value is the upper rack storage position of the article to be put on the rack. In step S603, the storage position value of each empty storage position is calculated, and then the storage position with the largest storage position value is selected as the upper storage position, and the article to be put on the upper storage position is put on the upper storage position.
According to the method for placing the articles on the shelves, disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the method can be used for recommending proper placement positions for the articles to be placed on the shelves by combining the specific placement layout of the concentric polygon warehouse and the information of the articles to be placed on the shelves in the historical task list, so that the effective recommendation of the placement positions can be realized, and the dynamic adjustment of the flowability of the articles can be realized.
The method for taking the articles from the rack based on the concentric polygon warehouse provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following main steps: after receiving an article placing instruction, acquiring attribute information of at least one article to be placed and storage information of at least one article to be placed in a concentric polygon warehouse; based on the shelving rules of the concentric polygon warehouse, at least one article to be shelved is divided into at least one shelving task group according to the attribute information and the storage information, and the article is shelved according to the at least one shelving task group.
The method for placing the articles in the rack has been specifically explained in the above step S202 and step S203, and when the articles are placed in the rack, attribute information of all articles to be placed in the rack is first obtained. In addition to the attribute information of the articles to be put down, the storage location information of the articles to be put down in the concentric polygon warehouse, that is, the information of which specific storage location the articles to be put down have in the concentric polygon warehouse, is also acquired. Then, the shelving rules of the concentric polygon warehouse can be followed, and all the goods to be shelving are grouped by combining the acquired attribute information and the storage position information, so that each shelving task group is obtained. And finally, carrying out article shelving according to the obtained shelving task group. All the articles to be put down are grouped by combining the acquired attribute information and the storage information, or a weight value is set for the attribute information and the storage information, and the articles to be put down are divided into a plurality of put down task groups according to the set weight value and the put down rule of the concentric polygon warehouse. Wherein, the off-shelf rule of the concentric polygon warehouse may include: for one lower frame task group, storage areas corresponding to the articles in the lower frame task group are the same concentric polygon storage areas or storage areas corresponding to the articles in the lower frame task group are two adjacent concentric polygon storage areas. For ease of understanding, the description is provided in connection with a schematic diagram of the reservoir layout of a concentric polygon warehouse as shown in fig. 3. For example, if the articles to be shelved are divided into 3 task groups, then the articles in task group 1 of the 3 task groups are all located in storage area a, or the articles in task group 1 are located in storage area a and storage area C, but the articles in task group 1 cannot be located in both storage areas a and E. Because there is a channel between bin a and bin C, but there is no direct channel between bin a and bin E, the racking path for items is increased if items in task group 1 are located in both bins, bin a and bin E. Therefore, the concentric polygon warehouse discharging rules are grouped according to the embodiment of the invention, so that the picking time in the article discharging process can be reduced, the picking efficiency is improved, and the production efficiency of the warehouse is further improved.
The following detailed explanation is made with respect to the above description. Taking the schematic diagram of the bin layout of the concentric polygon warehouse shown in fig. 3 as an example, the following 5 items (item 1, item 2, item 3, item 4, and item 5) are assumed. When the articles are put on the shelf, the times of the articles 1 and 3 are high according to the analysis of the past historical task list. In this case, the upper shelf will place items 1 and 3 in the vicinity of storage area a (in the case where storage area a has an empty storage location).
When an item is shelved, specific storage details are assumed as follows: article 1 is in storage area a, article 2 is in storage area B, article 3 is in storage area a, article 4 is in storage area D, and article 5 is in storage area E. There are 10 orders at this time, the specific details of which are as follows: the shelf 1 is required in Order1, the shelf 2 is required in Order2, the shelf 1 is required in Order3, the shelf 3 is required in Order4, the shelf 2 is required in Order5, the shelf 4 is required in Order6, the shelf 1 is required in Order7, the shelf 5 is required in Order8, the shelf 3 is required in Order9, and the shelf 2 is required in Order 10. At this time, the articles 1, order3 and Order7 which need to be put down are all articles 1, the storage areas of which are distributed as storage areas A, and the articles can be generated into the same task group for putting down. The articles 3 in Order4 and Order9 are required to be put on shelf, and according to analysis, the articles 3 are often matched with the articles 1 to pick, so that the Order1, the Order3, the Order7, the Order4 and the Order9 can be together generated into a put task group.
According to the technical scheme for loading and unloading articles based on the concentric polygon warehouse, a novel concentric polygon warehouse can be provided, so that the problem that the current warehouse determinant storage area layout can lengthen the path and time for loading and unloading articles can be solved, and the space utilization rate and the production efficiency of the warehouse can be improved. In addition, the method for loading and unloading the articles based on the concentric polygon warehouse can combine the specific storage position layout of the concentric polygon warehouse and the information of the articles to be loaded in the history task list, recommend proper loading storage positions for the articles to be loaded, effectively recommend loading storage positions, dynamically adjust the flowability of the articles, divide the articles to be unloaded into the unloading task groups according to the specific storage position information and attribute information of the articles to be unloaded and the unloading rule of the concentric polygon warehouse, further finish the unloading of the articles, reduce the picking time of the articles in the unloading process, improve the picking efficiency and further improve the production efficiency of the warehouse.
Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of the main modules of an apparatus for racking articles based on concentric polygon warehouses, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
