Background
With the rapid development of the technology level, the self-guiding transportation equipment is increasingly applied to goods distribution centers such as warehouses.
The control method of the self-guiding transportation equipment is various, and the most common control method is to control the movement of the self-guiding transportation equipment through a pre-planned path and by combining the control information sent to the equipment. Astar is a relatively mature control mode of self-guided transport equipment. The control mode is that different nodes are arranged on each road section, for example, a main path node 1, a main path node 2 and a main path node 3 can be arranged on the main path, and a branch path node can be arranged on each branch path. And when allocating a path for a self-steering transport, the path is often represented in a series of nodes. And wherein if a node is used, it is deleted from all the current candidate nodes. That is, if a first route is allocated to the self-guided transportation device to reach the working point 1, and the route cannot be implemented due to the limitation of the head direction of the self-guided transportation device, for example, the self-guided transportation device is required to enter at the tail of the working point 1, a second route is allocated to the self-guided transportation device again, and the node used by the first route is deleted from the candidate nodes. Thus, if only one branch path is connected to the working point 1, the node used by the first path cannot be allocated to the second path again, and the homing transportation device cannot reach the working point 1 via the second path, which results in a failure in allocating the path.

Detailed Description
The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the following drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and are not limiting of the application. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present application are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
Before discussing exemplary embodiments in more detail, it should be noted that some exemplary embodiments are described as processes or methods depicted as flowcharts. Although a flowchart may describe the steps as a sequential process, many of the steps can be performed in parallel, concurrently or simultaneously. In addition, the order of the steps may be rearranged. The process may be terminated when its operations are completed, but may have additional steps not included in the figure. The processes may correspond to methods, functions, procedures, subroutines, and the like.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of a self-guided transportation device according to an embodiment of the present application, where the present embodiment is applicable to a control situation of the self-guided transportation device, and the method may be executed by a control apparatus of the self-guided transportation device according to the embodiment of the present application, where the apparatus may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be integrated in an electronic device such as an intelligent control device.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for controlling the self-guided transportation apparatus includes:
and S110, acquiring the current position and the target position of the self-guiding transportation equipment.
The self-guided transport equipment may be equipment for transporting goods in warehousing and other shipping centers. In this embodiment, the self-guided transport apparatus is a forklift. Among them, the forklift is characterized in that its rotation direction in situ can be realized only by a rather wide road due to the influence of its own structure, and the direction in which the vehicle enters the working place is often limited because the carrying structure of the forklift is at the rear of the vehicle. Therefore, in a self-guiding transportation facility such as a forklift which has a high direction demand, it is necessary to control not only the direction but also the non-rotation of the transportation facility in the movement path.
The current position of the self-guided transportation device may be an address of a currently received task, for example, if the self-guided transportation device is a transportation task, the position of the transportation target object is the target position of the self-guided transportation device. From the current location to the target location, one or more paths may exist. Each path may include one or more main path nodes and one branch path node. The branch path is a path connecting the main path and the operating point or the charging station. Each branch path connects only one operating point, and thus, each branch path can be determined as one branch path node.
And S120, distributing a first path for the self-guiding transportation equipment, wherein the path distributed for the self-guiding transportation equipment is composed of a main path node and a branch path node, and the main path is connected with at least one branch path.
Fig. 2 is a schematic path diagram of an autonomous transport apparatus provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the main path is provided with a main path node, and the branch path is provided with a branch path node. The main path in each transport area may be connected to one or more branch paths. The branch path is a path connected to the main path and connected to the operating point or the charging station. The main path and the branch path may be connected by at least one circular arc-shaped turning path. Each branch path connects an operating point or charging station, or node for other functions. The main path node is a node which can be defined according to the working requirement, for example, the connection position of the main path and the circular arc-shaped turning path is determined as a main path node. The branch path node may be each branch path connected to a specific function node, defined as a branch path node. The homing transportation device can move on a main path and can reach a branch path connected to an operating point or a charging station through a turning path. The self-guiding transportation equipment takes a forklift as an example, forklift operation can be carried out after the self-guiding transportation equipment arrives at a working point, and charging can be carried out after the self-guiding transportation equipment arrives at a charging station. However, since the tail of the forklift needs to enter first at the working point and the head of the forklift needs to enter first at the charging station, it is necessary to determine whether the direction of the forklift moving to the target position along the route allocated to the self-guiding transportation apparatus is correct. For the existing control mode, if the branch path node is already allocated, the branch path node is not allocated to other paths. This also results in that if the direction of the first allocated vehicle head is incorrect, no further paths will be allocated and the truck will not be able to reach the target position. Taking the current location of the homing transport device as an example, if its assigned path is: main path node 1-branch path node 5-charging station, the direction of the head of the homing transport device reaching the charging station is right, and the direction of the head of the homing transport device passing through branch path node 5 is also right. If its assigned path is: main path node 1-main path node 2-branch path node 5-charging station, the direction of the head of the homing transportation device reaching the charging station is leftward, and the direction of the head of the homing transportation device passing through the branch path node 5 is also leftward. If fork truck needs the locomotive to get into earlier when charging, then first distribution route is reasonable, if fork truck needs the rear of a vehicle to get into earlier when charging, then second distribution route is reasonable. However, in the prior art, if the first allocated route already uses the branch route node 5, the branch route node 5 is not allowed to be used in the subsequent allocation process, which may cause that the forklift cannot allocate another route successfully under the condition that the allocation of one route cannot work normally.
In this embodiment, the allocated path may be represented by a node, for example, a connection between one or more main path nodes and one branch path node may constitute a path to the target location.
S130, judging whether the direction of the head of the self-guiding transportation equipment meets working conditions or not after the self-guiding transportation equipment reaches the target position according to the first path.
The direction of the head of the homing transportation device when the homing transportation device reaches the target position can be determined according to the first path of the homing transportation device. With reference to the above example, if the homing transport device is a forklift and the target location is a charging station, then priority access to the front of the forklift is required, and if the target location is a work point, priority access to the rear of the forklift is required. Because the forklift cannot rotate in situ at any position in the running path, the direction of the forklift head when the forklift reaches the target position can be determined according to the first path, and judgment can be made.
S140, if the self-guiding transportation equipment does not meet the working condition, determining that the head direction of the self-guiding transportation equipment running to the branch path node according to the first path and the branch path node form a first virtual node of the branch path node, and determining that the opposite head direction of the branch path node and the branch path node form a second virtual node of the branch path node; and allocating a second path for the homing transportation device to reach the target location via a second virtual node.
If the operation condition is not met, determining that the self-guiding transportation equipment runs to the head direction of the branch path node according to the first path and the branch path node form a first virtual node of the branch path node, and determining that the head direction opposite to the branch path node and the branch path node form a second virtual node of the branch path node. Namely, two different virtual nodes are set for an original branch path node according to the difference of the direction of the vehicle head. The advantage of such an arrangement is that if a route is allocated to the homing transportation device again, the second virtual node of the branch route node can be used as a node forming a new route when the direction of the head of the homing transportation device is opposite to the original direction of the head of the homing transportation device, and the direction of the head of the second virtual node is just opposite to that of the head of the first virtual node, that is, the second virtual node can be used to ensure the correctness of the direction of the head of the homing transportation device when the first virtual node is used to find that the direction of the head of the homing transportation device is not opposite. In addition, because the first virtual node is already allocated, the first virtual node cannot be allocated again, and the virtual node with the wrong head direction cannot be allocated again, so that the correctness of the head direction of the re-allocated path is ensured.
After determining the second virtual node, the homing transport device may be assigned a second path to the target location through the second virtual node. The arrangement can enable the direction of the head of the self-guiding transportation equipment when the self-guiding transportation equipment reaches the target position to be consistent with the direction of the head of the self-guiding transportation equipment required by actual work.
According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the current position and the target position of the self-guiding transportation equipment are obtained; allocating a first path to the self-guided transportation device, wherein the path allocated to the self-guided transportation device is composed of a main path node and a branch path node, and the main path is connected with at least one branch path; judging whether the direction of the head of the self-guided transport equipment meets working conditions or not after the self-guided transport equipment reaches the target position according to the first path; if the operation condition is not met, determining that the self-guiding transportation equipment runs to the head direction of the branch path node according to the first path and the branch path node form a first virtual node of the branch path node, and determining that the head direction opposite to the branch path node and the branch path node form a second virtual node of the branch path node; and allocating a second path for the homing transportation device to reach the target location via a second virtual node. By adopting the technical scheme provided by the application, the vehicle head direction and the passing nodes can be combined to serve as the virtual nodes, and the aim of carrying out multiple path distribution on one node by the homing transportation equipment according to the vehicle head direction is fulfilled.
On the basis of the foregoing technical solutions, optionally, allocating a second path to the destination location through a second virtual node for the self-guided transportation device includes: determining whether there is a path to the branch path node different from the first path; if yes, determining whether the direction of the head of the branch path reaching the node of the branch path is opposite to the direction of the head of the first path; and if so, determining the path as a second path which passes through the second virtual node and reaches the target position. In the technical scheme, after the problem of the head direction of the first path is determined, whether the problem exists in paths reaching the branch path nodes different from the first path or not needs to be determined. If not, the second path will not be allocated. For example, if there is only one curved circular path to the branch path node, the homing transport device can only enter the branch path in one way, and therefore cannot allocate a second path. If a path which is different from the first path and reaches the branch path node exists, whether the direction of the head of the path when the path reaches the branch path node is opposite to the direction of the head of the first path is determined, and if the direction of the head of the path is opposite to the direction of the head of the first path, the path is determined to be a second path which passes through a second virtual node and reaches the target position. The significance of the technical scheme is that when other paths different from the first path exist, the direction of the vehicle head when the path reaches the branch path node can be further judged. If the heading directions are the same, the path cannot be assigned, and if the heading directions are different, the path can be assigned and determined to be a second path.
On the basis of the above technical solutions, optionally, after determining whether the head direction of the self-guided transportation device meets the working condition after the self-guided transportation device reaches the target position according to the first path, the method further includes: and if the working conditions are met, controlling the self-guiding transportation equipment to move to the target position according to the first path. If the direction of the vehicle head of the first path reaching the branch path node can be determined to meet the actual working requirement according to the direction of the vehicle head, the first path can be determined as the final path for controlling the operation of the self-guiding transportation equipment. The advantage of setting up like this can be according to whether judging in advance that the locomotive direction accords with operating condition to control the self-steering transportation equipment and move according to first route under the condition that accords with operating condition. The road congestion or energy loss caused by incorrect direction of the vehicle head can be avoided.
On the basis of the above technical solutions, optionally, if the direction of the vehicle head does not meet the working condition and the second path to the target position cannot be allocated, an alarm prompt message is sent. If the direction of the vehicle head does not accord with the working condition and the second path reaching the target position cannot be allocated, the warning prompt information can be directly sent out so as to be manually intervened by staff. The advantage of setting up like this is that can be quick confirm that the homing transportation equipment can carry out direct control, if can not realize through direct control, then can send prompt message, supplies the staff to carry out manual handling. Therefore, the idle of the self-guiding transportation equipment can be avoided, and the carrying efficiency of the articles can be improved.
On the basis of the above technical solutions, optionally, the self-guiding transportation device includes a forklift; the forklift can not turn around in situ at the main path node, the branch path node and the target position. The self-guiding transportation equipment can be a forklift and other equipment with larger in-situ rotation radius, and the forklift is characterized in that a carrying part is arranged at the tail of the forklift, so that the direction of the forklift reaching the target position in the front of the forklift is required to meet the actual use requirement. In the scheme, the forklift can not turn around in situ at the main path node, the branch path node and the target position. This has the advantage that the risk of collisions with the surrounding objects in the path and in the working position due to an excessively large radius of rotation is avoided.
