For the convenience of understanding the embodiment, a task allocation method of the shuttle car disclosed by the embodiment of the invention is first described in detail.
The embodiment of the invention provides a task allocation method of a shuttle vehicle, which can be executed by electronic equipment with data processing capacity. The task allocation method of the shuttle car can be applied to the shuttle car provided with the multilayer cargo carrying platform as shown in figure 1, and the shuttle car moves in a roadway of a warehouse. It should be noted that, although only five loading platforms 103 are shown in fig. 1, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of loading platforms 103 in the shuttle car to which the present invention is applied may be set according to actual requirements.
Referring to fig. 5, a schematic flow chart of a task allocation method for a shuttle car mainly includes the following steps S502 to S506:
and S502, determining an operation layer of the shuttle vehicle according to the current task of the shuttle vehicle, wherein the operation layer is a cargo carrying platform layer which is allocated with the task in the shuttle vehicle.
And determining the operation layer of the shuttle vehicle, namely determining the set of all layers of the shuttle vehicle which need to execute the ex-warehouse task or the in-warehouse task. For example, suppose that a shuttle car has 5 layers of cargo carrying platforms, and the layer numbers of the cargo carrying platforms are sequentially marked as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 from bottom to top; if the shuttle car is currently executing warehousing tasks, 1 material box is loaded on each layer of cargo carrying platform, and the operation layer is as follows: 1. 2, 3, 4, 5; if the shuttle car currently executes the ex-warehouse task, and the ex-warehouse tasks exist in the 1 st, 2 nd, 3 th and 5 th layers at the moment, the operation layer is as follows: 1. 2, 3 and 5.
And step S504, determining the selectable warehouse positions in the shelves of the warehouse according to the operation layer.
All selectable warehouse positions in the corresponding operation roadway of each operation layer of the shuttle car can be screened out according to the type of the task currently executed by the shuttle car. Based on the method, the available storage positions in the storage rack of the warehouse can be determined according to the task type of the current task, and then all the available storage positions corresponding to the operation layer are determined as optional storage positions.
If the shuttle car currently executes the ex-warehouse task, screening out the warehouse positions where the ex-warehouse workbins of all the ex-warehouse tasks are currently located in the shuttle car operation area (the operation area of a single shuttle car is limited by an operation layer and an operation roadway); and if the shuttle vehicle currently executes the warehousing task, screening out all available empty warehouse positions in the shuttle vehicle operation area.
And S506, determining a target storage position from all the selectable storage positions according to the principle that the total time consumption of the shuttle car for executing all the tasks is the shortest, so that the shuttle car can execute the current task to the target storage position.
The target bin screening means that m (m is equal to the number of the operation layers of the shuttle) bins are selected from the selectable bins extracted in step S504 as bins for task execution. If five different target stock locations k1, k2, k3, k4 and k5 are selected, if the shuttle car currently executes the ex-warehouse tasks, the ex-warehouse tasks of the bin corresponding to the five stock locations k1, k2, k3, k4 and k5 are allocated to the shuttle car; if the shuttle car currently executes the warehousing task, 5 bins loaded by the shuttle car are respectively put into five empty warehouse positions of k1, k2, k3, k4 and k 5.
The total time consumption refers to the time consumption required by the shuttle vehicle to execute all tasks, and the total time consumption can include the time consumption for driving, the time consumption for positioning, the time consumption for turning, the time consumption for picking and placing goods and the like. The target storage position is determined according to the principle that the total time consumption of the shuttle car for executing all tasks is the shortest, the moving distance of the shuttle car in each direction (namely the moving distance in the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction) and the time consumption for changing a roadway are considered when a plurality of tasks are executed at one time, and the function of simultaneously getting in and out multiple boxes of goods of the shuttle car can be fully utilized, so that the time consumption for taking and placing the goods is reduced.
When the task allocation method of the shuttle vehicle is used for allocating tasks to the shuttle vehicle provided with the multilayer cargo carrying platforms, an operation layer of the shuttle vehicle is determined according to the current task of the shuttle vehicle, and the operation layer is the cargo carrying platform layer allocated with the tasks in the shuttle vehicle; then determining the selectable storage positions in the storage rack of the warehouse according to the operation layer; and determining a target storage position from all the selectable storage positions according to the principle that the total time consumption of the shuttle car for executing all tasks is the shortest, so that the shuttle car can execute the current task to the target storage position. Therefore, the target storehouse position is determined according to the principle that the total consumed time of all tasks of the shuttle car is the shortest, on one hand, the moving distance of the shuttle car with the multilayer goods carrying platforms when the multiple tasks are carried out at one time is reduced, on the other hand, the function that multiple goods can enter and exit simultaneously of the shuttle car can be fully utilized, the goods taking and placing actions of the multiple goods can be carried out simultaneously as far as possible, the consumed time of the goods taking and placing is reduced, and therefore the operating efficiency of the shuttle car is improved.
In some possible embodiments, the step S506 may be implemented by the following sub-steps:
step a1, determining the roadways related to all the optional storage positions as operation roadways.
And a2, determining a target roadway from all the operation roadways.
Specifically, a first roadway can be selected from all the operation roadways as a target roadway, the first roadway is the roadway with the largest roadway layer coefficient, and the roadway layer coefficient is the layer number related to all the optional positions in the corresponding roadway; when a plurality of first roadways exist, selecting a second roadway from the plurality of first roadways as a target roadway, wherein the second roadway is the first roadway which consumes the shortest time from the starting of the shuttle car from the current position to the completion of all tasks in the corresponding roadway; and when the number of the second roadways is multiple, selecting the second roadway closest to the roadway where the shuttle vehicle is currently located from the multiple second roadways as the target roadway.
Therefore, the roadway with the largest roadway layer number is preferentially selected, the number of the roadways when all tasks are finally completed can be reduced, and the time consumption for replacing the roadway is reduced; the roadway with the shortest time consumption for executing all tasks in the corresponding roadway is selected as much as possible, so that the total time for completing the tasks can be reduced; the tunnel closest to the current tunnel of the shuttle vehicle is selected as much as possible, so that the shuttle vehicle can start to execute the task as soon as possible.
And a3, selecting a target library position from the selectable library positions of the target roadway.
And a4, judging whether the number of the currently determined target library positions reaches the number of the operation layers. When the judgment result is yes, the target library position screening is finished, and the process is ended; and when the judgment result is negative, executing the step a5.
And a5, matching and updating the operation layer and the optional library position according to all current target library positions to obtain an updated operation layer and an updated optional library position. And then, based on the updated job layer and the updated optional library bit, re-executing the step a1.
Preferably, the second lane includes a working lane having a plurality of selectable storage positions corresponding to the cargo positions in the vertical direction of the rack. Like this, the shuttle can get the action of putting the goods to many casees goods simultaneously.
Further, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a specific manner of selecting a second roadway as a target roadway from the plurality of first roadways in step a2, which is as follows:
and b1, determining an optimal storage position combination of each first roadway, wherein the optimal storage position combination is selected according to the principle that the number of the selectable storage positions at the corresponding goods positions in the vertical direction of the goods shelf is the largest and the distance from the optimal storage position combination to the near end of the roadway is the smallest, and the near end of the roadway is the end, closest to the current position of the shuttle car, of the corresponding roadway.
And b2, comparing the total time consumption of the shuttle car from the current position to the optimal position combination of each first roadway to execute all tasks in the corresponding roadway.
And b3, taking the first roadway where the optimal reservoir position combination with the shortest total time consumption is located as a second roadway.
In some possible embodiments, the vertical direction of the shelf is denoted as the column direction of the shelf, and the step b1 can be implemented by the following process:
step c1, traversing all the rows containing the selectable storage positions of the corresponding goods shelves from the near end of the lane to the far end of the lane of each first lane; the far end of the tunnel is the end of the corresponding tunnel which is farthest from the current position of the shuttle car.
And c2, when each layer of the corresponding goods shelf corresponding to the operation layer at least traverses to one optional storage position, determining each currently traversed optional storage position as a storage position candidate group of the first roadway.
And c3, exhaustively selecting all combinations of one optional library position from each layer in the library position group to be selected to obtain at least one library position combination.
And c4, calculating to obtain the total time consumption of the shuttle vehicle from the current position to each warehouse location combination to execute all tasks in the first roadway, wherein the total time consumption comprises the time consumption of driving, the time consumption of positioning, the time consumption of turning and the time consumption of goods taking and placing.
And c5, determining the library position combination with the shortest total time consumption in at least one library position combination as the optimal library position combination of the first roadway.
For example, referring to the schematic cross-sectional view of available library bit distribution corresponding to a lane shown in fig. 6, library bits A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I represent optional library bits, and assuming that the end where the 1 st column is located is the near end of the lane, the library bit candidate group obtained by traversing from the near end of the lane to the far end of the lane includes library bits A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and four library bit combinations can be formed: the position combination 1 composed of A, G, C, F, B, the position combination 2 composed of A, G, C, F, D, the position combination 3 composed of E, G, C, F, B, and the position combination 4 composed of E, G, C, F, D, and the position combination 1 with the shortest total time consumption is determined as the optimal position combination for the lane.
On this basis, the step a3 may specifically be: and determining each optional position in the optimal position combination of the target roadway as a target position. Therefore, the selected target storage position can meet the principle that the total time consumption of the shuttle vehicle for executing all tasks is shortest.
Considering that there may be a plurality of target library positions, the target library positions may be sorted, and the sequence of the operations of the target library positions may be determined. Considering that executing one lane followed by executing another lane may be "S" shaped walking, the target slots may be sorted according to the target lane to which the target slot belongs, based on which, in some possible embodiments, each lane has a lane number sorted according to position, and after step S506, the task allocation method for the shuttle car further includes: determining a minimum roadway and a maximum roadway from the target roadways to which the target storage positions belong, wherein the minimum roadway is the roadway with the minimum number, and the maximum roadway is the roadway with the maximum number; calculating to obtain a first roadway distance between the minimum roadway and the roadway where the shuttle car is currently located and a second roadway distance between the maximum roadway and the roadway where the shuttle car is currently located; and sequencing the target storage positions according to the size relationship between the first roadway distance and the second roadway distance to obtain an operation sequence of the shuttle vehicle to execute the current task to each target storage position, so that the shuttle vehicle starts to operate from the closest roadway in the minimum roadway and the maximum roadway.
Specifically, when the first roadway distance is smaller than the second roadway distance, the target library positions are sorted from small to large according to the target roadways to which the target library positions belong; when the first roadway distance is larger than the second roadway distance, sequencing the target storage positions from large to small according to the target roadways to which the target storage positions belong; and when the first roadway distance is equal to the second roadway distance, sequencing the target storage positions from small to large or from large to small according to the target roadways to which the target storage positions belong.
For convenience of understanding, a task allocation method of the shuttle car is described in detail by taking the example that the shuttle car has 5 layers of cargo carrying platforms and the current task of the shuttle car is a plurality of warehousing tasks. The task allocation method of the shuttle vehicle comprises four steps of determining an operation layer, screening optional library positions, screening target library positions and performing task sequencing, and is specifically as follows.

If every layer of cargo bed of shuttle all loaded 1 workbin, then the operation layer is: 1. 2, 3, 4 and 5.
2. Selectable bin screening
And screening out all available empty warehouse positions in the shuttle car operation area, wherein the operation area is limited by an operation layer and an operation roadway.
3. Target library location screening
3.1 index definition
* Roadway layer coefficient: the number of layers involved by all the optional positions in the corresponding lane. If the 1 st layer of the 1 st roadway has 3 selectable warehouse positions, the 2 nd layer has 1 selectable warehouse position, the 3 rd layer has 0 selectable warehouse position, the 4 th layer has 0 selectable warehouse position, and the 5 th layer has 6 selectable warehouse positions, the roadway layer coefficient of the 1 st roadway is 3.
* Vehicle body position (i.e., the above current position): the shuttle is in the position before executing the target library position to be screened.
* Roadway near end: and each lane is arranged in a row which is closest to the position of the vehicle body in the direction of the shelf row.
* Roadway far end: and each roadway is arranged in a row farthest from the position of the vehicle body in the direction of the shelf row.
* The library position to be selected: and (5) starting screening from the near end of the tunnel to the far end of the tunnel, and traversing all columns containing the optional library positions. And adding columns with the selectable library positions in sequence from the column traversed each time, and stopping when all the layers of the selectable library positions have at least one selectable library position.
* Optimal bin combination: traversing all the warehouse position candidate groups, exhaustively exhausting all combinations of one optional warehouse position in each group, calculating and recording the total time consumption of the shuttle vehicle from the vehicle body position to all the combinations for executing tasks (the task time consumption comprises driving time consumption, positioning time consumption, turning time consumption and goods taking and placing time consumption), and selecting the combination with the shortest total time consumption as the optimal warehouse position combination.
* Roadway distance: and the index representing the distance between the two roadways is equal to the absolute value of the difference between the roadway numbers of the two roadways. For example, the lane distance between the 1 st lane and the 5 th lane is 4.
3.2 screening Process
a) And calculating the lane coefficient of each operation lane in the corresponding operation lane of the shuttle vehicle, and selecting the lane with the largest lane coefficient as a target lane. And if the number of the lanes with the largest lane layer number is multiple, selecting the lane with the shortest time consumption for the shuttle vehicle to reach the optimal storage position combination to execute the task as the target lane. And if the roadway layer coefficient is equal to the time consumption of the optimal reservoir position combination for executing the task, selecting the roadway with the smallest distance from the roadway where the shuttle car is located as the target roadway.
b) And taking each optional position in the optimal position combination in the target roadway obtained in the last step as a target position.
c) If the number of the target storage positions of the shuttle vehicles is equal to the number of the operation layers of the shuttle vehicles, the target storage positions are screened and finished, and a task execution sequencing step is carried out; and if the number of the target storehouse positions of the shuttle car is less than the number of the operation layers of the shuttle car, removing the layer of which the target storehouse positions are already screened from the operation layers of the shuttle car to form a new operation layer, and repeating the steps 2 and 3.
4. Task execution ordering
a) And (4) determining the smallest roadway with the smallest roadway number and the largest roadway with the largest roadway number in the roadways to which the target library positions obtained in the step (3) belong.
b) And calculating the distance between the minimum roadway and the current roadway of the shuttle car and the distance between the maximum roadway and the current roadway of the shuttle car. If the former is smaller than the latter, the target storage positions are sorted from small to large according to the roadway to which the target storage positions belong, and the target storage positions in the same roadway are sorted from small to large according to the goods position column value (obtained by sorting the columns of the goods shelves from the near end of the roadway to the far end of the roadway); if the former is larger than the latter, the target storage positions are sorted from large to small according to the belonged roadway, and the target storage positions of the same roadway are sorted from small to large according to the goods position column value.
