Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of embodiments of the invention are included to assist understanding, and which are to be considered as 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.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a storage position in a stereo library according to the prior art. The left and right, 2-level reservoirs, identified as A, B, C and D, respectively, are included in FIG. 1. Wherein, at storage location C1, article 2 is stored; item 1 is stored in bin D1; in storage position D2, article 3 is stored. The projected areas of article 1, article 2 and article 3 are the same.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic view of another storage position in a stereo library according to the prior art. In fig. 2, the projection mianni of the article 1, the article 2 and the article 3 are different, but the size of the storage space occupied by the article 1, the article 2 and the article 3 is the same because the volume projection area of each storage space cannot be adjusted.
That is, when the articles with different specifications need to be stored or the original package needs to be stored, if the storage location needs to be divided by the largest article according to the scheme of fixing the storage location before, a large amount of space is wasted, which results in a reduction in storage density.
In order to solve the technical problem of the reduction of the storage density, the following technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention may be adopted.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a method for storing articles according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the storage locations are positioned according to the projected area of the articles to increase the storage density. As shown in fig. 3, the method specifically includes the following steps:
s301, acquiring the number of storage units occupied by the articles according to the projection area of the articles, wherein the storage units are the minimum storage positions in the warehouse.
The three-dimensional library comprises a plurality of layers, and each layer comprises a plurality of storage positions. The items may be stored in a bin. In an embodiment of the invention, the article container carries an article therein. That is, the item is carried in the item container, and the projected area of the item includes the projected area of the item container.
It should be noted that the article container includes an original package of the article. As one example, the article container includes ten wraps of paper. That is, the article container is an original package of ten rolls of paper.
The article container has a fixed projected area for carrying articles. As one example, the projected area of the item container is 0.5 square meters to carry multiple pieces of apparel. As another example, the projected area of the item container is 0.2 square meters to carry multiple books.
In the embodiment of the invention, the storage unit is used as a basic unit for weighing the article. The storage unit is the smallest storage location in the warehouse. As an example, the width of the storage unit is preset based on the actual condition of the warehouse.
The following describes a memory cell (baseCell). The storage location is the minimum granularity of the identification bin. The storage location of the article can be marked by the storage unit. The memory cell is identified by formula 1, formula 2, and formula 3.
<no grid ，no cell ，index i ，index j ，no ctn ，status>Equation 1
Therein, no grid A lattice number, which represents the storage bit group number corresponding to the storage unit; no cell Numbering the storage units; indexi is the number, index, of the memory cell in the length direction j The numbers in the width direction of the memory cells. index i And index j Describing the positional relationship of the memory cells, the above two numbers of the adjacent two memory cells are consecutive. no ctn The field is empty when the storage unit is idle; status is the state of the memory cell, and occupied status is 1 and idle status is 0.
Formula 2 shows the value range of i, i.e. the maximum value of i is the length of the cell grid Divided by the transverse spacing length of the storage locations of the containers inr And rounding down.
Equation 3 shows the value range of j, i.e. the maximum value of j is the width of the cell grid Divided by the width of the depth interval of the stock of containers inr And rounding down.
The memory cells are referred to as cells, which are exemplified below. The grid and the storage group (cellGroup) have a corresponding relationship. The bucket group is a logical abstraction of the trellis. All groups of memory bits constitute the entire inventory of the stereo library. The data structure of the storage bit group is as follows:
<no tunnel ，no tier ，no grid ，length grid ，width grid ，high grid >equation 4
Therein no tunnel Numbering the lanes, no tier Numbered for hierarchy, no grid Length for the grid grid Is the length of the cell, width grid Is the width of the cell, i.e. the depth of the cell, high grid Is the height of the cell.
In the three-dimensional warehouse, a goods shelf formed by storage positions is arranged in a roadway. The shelf comprises a plurality of layers. Each layer of shelf comprises a plurality of grids which are arranged in sequence. Wherein, the height of the grid is the interval between the upper layer and the lower layer of the shelf.
Horizontal spacing length of container storage position in formula 2 inr And formula 4 depth interval width of container stock inr All belong to the container storage space. Because the containers are taken and placed in the three-dimensional warehouse by the equipment such as the shuttle car or the stacker, the forks of the shuttle car and the stacker have certain widths, certain intervals are needed when the containers are stored, and the intervals are called as container storage intervals. Shuttle cars and stackers are devices that perform the access to items in a three-dimensional warehouse.
In one embodiment of the invention, it is contemplated that the bins may be positioned for different items. Furthermore, the number of storage units occupied by the article needs to be known according to the projection area of the article. The projected area of the article relates to the article width and the article length. Considering that the goods shelf can check the width of the goods more when storing the goods, and the depth of the goods shelf can meet the length of the goods. Thus, the width of the item and the width of the storage unit are involved in determining the number of storage units occupied by the item. Namely, the number of the storage units occupied by the article is determined according to the width of the article and the width of the storage units related to the projection area of the article.
The projected area of the article relates to the width of the article, as does the storage unit. It is necessary to weigh the items in storage units.
In the case of articles of regular shape, the projected area of the article may be determined in advance from the outer package or by means of measurements. In the case of an irregular shape of the article, the projected area of the article can be determined by the minimum circumscribed figure of the article.
As an example, the projected area of an article relates to a width of: 0.5 m. The width of the memory cell is: 0.2 m. It can be seen that the number of storage units occupied by the item is 3.
The articles are weighed through the storage unit, and a foundation is laid for positioning the storage positions of the articles.
S302, in the idle storage units of the warehouse, based on the projection area of the articles and the number of occupied storage units, the storage positions of the articles are located in the warehouse.
The memory cell has two states, an idle state and an occupied state. That is, the memory cells include free memory cells and occupied memory cells. For occupying the storage unit, since it is already occupied by other items, in the case of storing items, it is not necessary to consider occupying the storage unit. For the free storage unit, since it is not occupied by other items, in the case of storing items, the free storage unit is an object of storing items.
Specifically, the bin of the item is located based on the projected area of the item and the number of occupied storage units. It is understood that a storage unit is the smallest unit in a warehouse that stores items. To reduce the spacing between the articles, the bins of the articles are positioned in steps of the width of the storage unit. That is, in the spare storage units of the warehouse, the storage positions of the articles are located by taking the width of the storage units as a step length based on the article width related to the projection area of the articles and the number of occupied storage units.
The width of the storage unit is used as a step length to position the storage positions of the articles, so that the intervals of the articles can be reduced to the greatest extent. Wherein the width of the storage unit may be preset according to the actual warehouse.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of positioning a storage location of an item according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
s401, in the storage unit of the warehouse, the free storage unit and the occupied storage unit are known.
In the storage units of the warehouse, the free storage units and the occupied storage units are known based on the states of the storage units. An occupied storage unit is a storage unit that has been occupied by an item. A free storage unit is a storage unit that is unoccupied by an item.
S402, according to the width of the article and the number of occupied storage units related to the projection area of the article, taking the width of the storage units as a step length, and determining candidate storage positions of the article in the idle storage units.
For an article, the candidate bin needs to be determined from two aspects, namely the width of the article and the number of occupied storage units related to the projected area of the article. The width of the article related to the projection area of the article is that the occupied storage unit is identified from the angle of the article; the number of occupied memory cells identifies the occupied memory cells in terms of quantity.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic illustration of a candidate bin for an item according to an embodiment of the invention. Item 1 and item 2 have been stored in the warehouse of fig. 5. The width of the storage unit is 0.1 meter.
The projected area of the article 1 relates to an article width of: width: 1 meter, and occupies 10 storage units.
The projected area of the article 2 relates to an article width of: 0.5 meters, 5 storage units are occupied.
The item 3 needs to be placed in a warehouse. Article width related to projected area of article 3: 0.5 meters, 5 storage units are occupied.
For item 3, the candidate bin for the item is determined, taking the storage unit as the step size. The candidate bins for item 3 include candidate bin 1, candidate bin 2, candidate bin 3, and candidate bin 4.
The candidate bin is determined by using the width of the memory cell as a step size. In this case, candidate bit 1 and candidate bit 2 are separated by one memory cell; the candidate storage position 2 and the candidate storage position 3 are separated by one storage unit; candidate bin 3 and candidate bin 4 are separated by one memory cell, etc.
S403, locating the storage position of the article in the candidate storage position based on the minimum number of the idle storage units between the candidate storage position and the occupied storage units.
In the case of multiple candidate bays, to shorten the spacing of the items, the bay for the item may be located in the candidate bay based on the minimum number of free memory cells between the candidate bay and the occupied memory cells. If there is only one candidate bin, the candidate bin can be directly used as the bin of the article.
With continued reference to FIG. 5, the item 3 has a plurality of candidate bins, and the bin of the item is located in the candidate bins based on the minimum number of free memory cells between the candidate bin and the occupied memory cells. The interval between the candidate storage position 1 and the rightmost storage unit of the article 2 is 0 idle storage units; the interval between the candidate storage position 2 and the rightmost storage unit of the article 2 is the idle storage unit with the number corresponding to that of the candidate storage position 1; the interval between the candidate storage position 3 and the rightmost storage unit of the article 2 is the idle storage units with the number corresponding to the candidate storage position 1 and the candidate storage position 2; the interval between the candidate storage position 4 and the rightmost storage unit of the article 2 is the number of idle storage units corresponding to the candidate storage position 1, the candidate storage position 2 and the candidate storage position 3. Since the minimum number of free memory cells between candidate bin 1 and occupied memory cells is 0, candidate bin 1 is located as the bin of item 3.
In the embodiment of fig. 4, the candidate bin for an item is determined in steps of the width of the storage unit. Compared with the fixed storage position for storing the articles, the spacing of the articles is greatly shortened.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic view of items stored in a three-dimensional library according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 6 a lane comprises two shelves, each of which is two-ply. By adopting the scheme in the embodiment of the invention, the storage position is determined according to the projection area of the article. Due to the different projected areas of the articles, the storage location for each article is also different. In fig. 6, the distance between the article 1 and the article 3 is small, and the distance between the articles can be greatly shortened as compared with fig. 2.
S303, storing the article into the storage position of the article, and updating the storage position of the article to relate to the state of the storage unit.
After the storage position of the article is located, the article can be stored in the storage position of the article, and the storage position of the article is updated to refer to the state of the storage unit, namely the storage position of the article refers to the state of the storage unit, and the free storage unit is updated to the occupied storage unit.
In an embodiment of the invention, storing the item is implemented in a container model. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
definition of the commodity model (ctnModel), see in particular equation 4:
<type ctn ，length ctn ，width ctn ，high ctn >equation 5
Wherein, type ctn Length being the type of article ctn Is the length, width, of the article ctn Is the width of the article, high ctn Is the height of the article. Types of containers for articles include virgin packaging and non-virgin packaging.
The bin (ctnStock) of an item is an abstraction of the container inventory. Each item corresponds to its own set of item slots. The storage position of the article is defined by the following formula:
0＜x≤length ctn /length inr equation 10
0＜y≤width ctn /width inr Equation 11
Therein, no grid Numbering for grid, type ctn Is the type of the article to be produced,
the storage positions of the articles are numbered,
is the collection of storage units corresponding to the storage positions of the objects.
In one embodiment of the invention, the item is stored to a storage location for the item. The articles may be transported and stored to a storage location for the articles using a shuttle or a stacker. For the storage unit related to the storage location of the article, it needs to be identified as occupied storage unit to store the article to the storage location of the article. In this way, in the case of restocking an item, the storage location is located in a free storage unit, without regard to occupying the storage unit.
Specifically, equations 5 to 12 are employed as models for implementing the embodiments of the present invention.
First, locate candidate bins:
and inputting the input parameters into the model to obtain the output parameters of the model.

If so, according to cellList mn Occupy the corresponding baseCell in the baseCellList, and make the corresponding baseCell ctn Is set to no ctn Status is set to 1, and true is returned.
In one embodiment of the invention, after the article has been removed from the storage location of the article, the storage location may need to be released. Specifically, the article has moved out of the storage position of the article, and the storage unit related to the storage position of the article is identified as a free storage unit, so as to release the storage position occupied by the article. In this way, it is convenient to use the free storage units after the release as storage locations in the case of storing items.
In the case of a particular implementation,
and (3) ginseng adding: item number no ctn 。
Ginseng production: true, false.
Wherein, the reference number of the item is no in baseCellList ctn Corresponding baseCell set cellList mn (ii) a If cellList mn If not, returning to false; otherwise, cellList mn Set the number of the element in (1) to null, set the state to 0, and return true.
