Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.
The RFID technology consists of three parts: antennas, readers and RFID tags. Radio frequency signals transmitted by the antenna can be reflected back by the RFID label after reaching the RFID label, and the reader identifies the RFID label through the received reflected signals, wherein the reflected signals comprise RSSI signals.
The invention provides a sorting method for articles in a storage unit, which comprises the following steps of:
scanning an RFID label attached to each article in storage equipment by carrying N RFID antennas through a mobile platform, wherein the storage equipment comprises K storage units, and N, K are positive integers; positioning each storage unit through a mobile platform and obtaining RFID source segment data in the storage unit;
wherein: the source segment data comprises the storage unit information storeUnit and the mapping of each RFID tag data rsinfo set collected in the storage unit: < StoreUnit, rssinfo set >, the RFID tag data rssinfo includes an electronic tag ID number, a signal strength value RSSI when the RFID tag signal is detected, an antenna number antennaNum when the RFID tag signal is detected, and a detection time; multiple sets of data may be collected for each RFID tag;
performing time compensation processing on detection time in the RFID source segment data, and unifying multiple groups of data of the same RFID tag detected by different antennas on one antenna by combining the scanning direction of a storage unit to obtain compensated detection time realTime; the mapping relation of the scanning direction of the storage unit is < storeUnit, scanDirection >, the storeUnit is storage unit information, and the scanDirection is the scanning direction of the storage unit, specifically from left to right or from right to left;
and sequencing the positioned articles in each storage unit according to the compensated detection time realTime to obtain the position sequence of each article in the storage unit. The article in each storage unit that has been located is an article obtained by the existing RFID technology (e.g., the "a location method based on RFID technology" disclosed in patent CN 110954864A).
In one implementation, N = 2. Two left and right antennas are used, and when antennaNum =1, the left antenna is shown, and when antennaNum =2, the right antenna is shown.
The method for unifying multiple groups of data of the same RFID label detected by different antennas on one antenna to obtain the detection time realTime after compensation comprises the following steps:
the compensated time difference complementatime is calculated according to equation (1):
Figure 435829DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
(1)
wherein: distance is the relative position distance between the two RFID antennas, and v is the moving speed of the mobile platform;
according to the scanning direction of each storage unit, time compensation processing is carried out on the next antenna along the scanning direction, and the time compensation processing is unified to the previous antenna along the scanning direction; obtaining a compensated detection time realTime of the RFID tag data of the next antenna according to formula (2):

(2)

In this step, if the scanning direction of the storage unit is from left to right, the left antenna reading time is compensated, and the time unified as the right antenna is processed; and if the scanning direction of the storage unit is from right to left, compensating the reading time of the right antenna, and processing the time uniformly serving as the time of the left antenna.
The step of sequencing the positioned articles in each storage unit according to the compensated detection time realTime comprises the following steps:
for each storage unit, acquiring all RFID tag data sets with the same ID number in the source section data according to the ID number information in the article information in the storage unit;

and sequencing the realTime values from small to large to obtain corresponding OrderNum, obtaining the article information in the storage unit with the sequence numbers, and determining the position sequence of each article in the storage unit according to the sequence numbers and the scanning direction. In this step, the serial numbers are sequentially increased in the scanning direction from left to right, but if the mobile platform scans from right to left, the sequencing is just opposite, so that whether the position sequence needs to be inverted is judged according to the scanning direction of each storage unit, and the final correct position sequence is obtained.
Compared with the prior art, the invention provides a storage unit internal article sequencing method, which adopts a plurality of RFID antennas, compensates the antenna scanning time by combining the scanning direction of the storage unit while acquiring more label data, unifies the data of the plurality of antennas into a single antenna for processing, and sequences the compensated time by combining the scanning direction to obtain the final relative position sequence among the articles, wherein the average error range is between 1.5 and 2 articles. The method has the advantages that the reading missing rate is reduced, meanwhile, the sequencing precision is guaranteed, the problem that the sequencing error inside the storage unit is large in the prior art is effectively solved, and the method is suitable for high-frequency and ultrahigh-frequency RFID technologies and wide in application range.
