The following describes a specific implementation scheme provided by the embodiment of the present invention in detail.

The invention provides a goods sorting method of a logistics sorting station, which is characterized in that a recognizer and a camera are used for acquiring bar code information and image information of goods in sequence, and the recognizer is used for compensating the bar code information of the goods which cannot be recognized by the camera when a bag collecting bag is folded, so that the workload of workers can be reduced.

Example one

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a logistics sorting station according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a logistics sorting yard, which generally comprises a warehouse control system 10, a circulation conveyor 20 and an identifier 31. Storage control system 10 generally is located in the backstage of commodity circulation letter sorting station, and its the storage has the information of all goods in the commodity circulation letter sorting station and predetermine the letter sorting rule, storage control system 10 is according to predetermine the letter sorting rule right all goods in the commodity circulation letter sorting station are sorted, predetermine the letter sorting rule and can be for current rule that can realize the goods letter sorting, this application does not specifically prescribe a limit to it. The circulation conveyor belt 20 is used for circulating goods, the goods include a first category of goods, the first category of goods includes bag-in-bag goods, the bag-in-bag goods include at least two single goods, all the goods are placed in the same bag-in-bag, at least one same characteristic is provided among the single goods, for example, the next destinations of the single goods in the same bag-in-bag goods are the same, and the bag-in-bag goods circulate on the circulation conveyor belt 20 as a whole. Be provided with the chip on the first type goods, contain the bar code information of corresponding goods in the chip, the chip can be placed in the collection bag. The identifier 31 is connected to the warehousing control system 10, the identifier 31 is disposed above the circulation conveyor belt 20, and when the first type of goods on the circulation conveyor belt 20 are circulated to the identification range of the identifier 31, the identifier 31 reads the barcode information and sends the barcode information to the warehousing control system 10. The warehousing control system 10 sorts the first category goods according to the preset sorting rule after receiving the barcode information sent by the identifier 31.

Above-mentioned commodity circulation letter sorting station is provided with recognizer 31 to corresponding placing in the first kind goods the chip that recognizer 31 can discern, at the letter sorting in-process, when the first kind goods circulation arrives when recognizer 31's identification range, recognizer 31 can read the bar code information that contains in its chip, thereby can discern first kind goods can not appear the goods can't discern and be in the phenomenon of backward flow on circulation conveyer belt 20 to also need not artifical participation, reduced artifical work load, promoted the work efficiency of letter sorting.
