Specific embodiment

Below in conjunction with the attached drawing in the embodiment of the present application, technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application carries out clear, complete Site preparation description, it is clear that described embodiments are only a part of embodiments of the present application, instead of all the embodiments.It is based on Embodiment in the application, those of ordinary skill in the art's every other embodiment obtained belong to the application protection Range.

Technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application in order to facilitate understanding, first below to suspension catenary system " new zero Sell " in the shops of field to the specific requirements in picking result transmission process, and tool of the suspension catenary system in the application scenarios Body deployment scenario etc. is simply introduced.

Based on the business characteristic in shops, front court region and backfield region would generally be divided into shops, wherein in front court Multiple picking shelves mouths are disposed, may be respectively used for storing different types of kinds of goods (for example, fruit shelves mouth, seafood shelves mouth, etc.), And there is also multiple and different packing road junctions for back court, to realize parallel packaging operation, so as to improve operating efficiency.Therefore, In In " new retail " shops, special design can be carried out to specific suspended chain.Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the suspended chain can To include a main ring line, a plurality of pipeline (or branch line) and a plurality of slideway composition, wherein the main ring line is equipped with Many places are plugged into a little, are respectively used to plug into the pipeline and slideway；Each strip transmission line corresponds to each picking shelves mouth, each slideway Respectively correspond different packing road junctions.Since suspended chain can be usually erected in the air, and hence it is also possible to picking shelves mouth with Elevator is set between pipeline, it, can will be corresponding in this way, the operating personnel of picking shelves mouth is after completing a picking task Container is promoted to pipeline by elevator, then container is imported on suspended chain main ring line by pipeline.In back court side, main ring Line can plug into a plurality of slideway respectively, for container to be slid into corresponding packing road junction by slideway.In this way, making each pick It is provided with access between goods shelves mouth and each packing road junction, may be not present and intersect.

But due to needing to be transported to same packing road junction with the corresponding picking result of a batch of picking task, but It is that under above-mentioned suspension chain structure, the container on every branch line can be transported to arbitrary packing road junction, therefore, in order to Realize the control to the specific transport path of container, it usually needs some control equipment are set in suspended chain during transportation. For example, first may include container identification device, specific container identification out for identification, in addition it can include that slideway controls Device determines if to need to be delivered to corresponding slideway for judging the container identification for specifically marching to corresponding slideway, Etc..And information transmitting between these equipment, and required other information is known when being judged about slideway controller, It requires to realize by control server.That is, this control server is specifically used for during transportation, to specific The path etc. of container is controlled, in addition, the control server can be also used for the control that switching on and shutting down are carried out to suspension catenary system, Collection of running state information, etc..

In the prior art, the control server (in the embodiment of the present application, can abbreviation WCS) is exactly to be deployed in shops PC machine in.It, first can be for filling in order to realize the identification to container, and the distribution at related road junction when specific implementation Carrying can be set the graphic codes such as bar code, two dimensional code outside the container of picking result, and the unique identification for carrying container believes Breath；Picking operation personnel select a container when executing a picking task first, and carry out barcode scanning to container, then will Barcode scanning result and corresponding picking task identification are submitted to service server (in the embodiment of the present application, the Ke Yijian in cloud Claim WMS), in this way, service server can build batch identification and container identification according to the corresponding batch identification of picking task Erect association.Control server in shops can be drawn from the service server in cloud according to certain period (for example, 1S) The incidence relation between batch identification and container identification is taken, and is container allocation road according to the corresponding batch identification of container identification Mouthful.For example, then road junction can be distributed for the batch according to the busy-idle condition etc. at each road junction for the batch identification first appeared, Correspondingly, the corresponding whole container identifications of the batch can all distribute to the road junction.That is, specific container identification and batch mark Corresponding relationship between knowledge can be by service server foundation, and the operation at specially container allocation road junction can be by controlling Control server is completed, specific to need with batch identification to be foundation when distributing road junction, by the corresponding container point of same batch identification The same road junction of dispensing.

In addition, the connection in main ring line and each slideway is provided with slideway controller, control server is for certain container Mark is assigned with after road junction, and the mark of the container can be sent to the slideway controller at the road junction.As long as in this way, the container When being transported near the slideway, specific container identification can be identified by slideway controller, i.e., controllable slideway valve makes Corresponding packing road junction can be slid into from the slideway by obtaining the container.

That is, will include container identification device and multiple slideway controllers, wherein described in suspension catenary system Slideway controller is in addition to opening or closing according to container identification result control valve, so that container slides into correctly from main ring line Slideway except, can also carry out Signalized control (after all reaching with a batch of whole containers, signal lamp can be lighted, Etc.), full road inspection, the sending of road junction release signal, etc..

In the case that the PC machine disposed in through shop is to realize control server, said vesse identifier, slideway control Device etc. requires to realize communication connection with control server.For example, as shown in Figure 2, wherein control server and each slideway Communication connection can be realized by COM1 interface between controller, COM3 can be passed through between control server and container identification device Interface realizes communication connection, etc..In addition, the control server can also carry out shape to chip, air pressure for hanging catenary system etc. State monitoring can also carry out emergent stopping control to suspension catenary system, or control to motor, etc..And hence it is also possible to By some relevant signal boxes or motor box etc., corresponding control is realized.

As it can be seen that the work undertaken needed for control server is very more, therefore, once the PC machine where control server goes out Situations such as showing failure or being invaded, then the operation of whole system can undoubtedly be had an impact.In addition, as shown in Fig. 2, this Under mode, in addition to the PC machine itself where control server, there is also multiple single-points to rely on node.For example, being serviced as control The COM3 controller of communication interface between device and container identification device, information detected by container identification device report needs according to Rely the node；In addition, the COM1 controller as communication interface between control server and slideway controller, each slideway control Device, which requires to rely on the node, obtains information from control server, therefore, so that above-mentioned COM3 controller and COM1 controller Become single-point and relies on node, once this nodes break down, it will leading to the information of container identification device can not report, slideway Controller can not obtain information, etc. from control server；In addition, container identification device itself once breaks down, after also causing Continuous slideway controller can not obtain corresponding recognition result, and a large amount of container is caused to enter abnormal slideway, etc., therefore, It may also can become a single-point herein and rely on node, the stability of system operation is played a crucial role.In addition, outstanding Start and stop, condition monitoring of chaining system etc. can also be completed by the control server disposed in local PC.

In short, being to serve as control server by the PC machine in shops in the prior art, in order to in suspension catenary system Various information collecting devices, the realizations communication of control equipment etc., need to be attached by com interface, so that depositing in system Node is relied in multiple single-points including PC machine itself, any one single-point relies on node and breaks down, all may cause The wide-area failures of entire suspension catenary system are even paralysed.Therefore, the stability of entire suspension catenary system operation how is promoted, just As the specific problem to be solved of the embodiment of the present application.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, in the embodiment of the present application, the control server by on-premise network side beyond the clouds is provided, And to suspension catenary system in each specific controlled plant redesign, can directly with the control server of network side it Between realize and be in communication with each other.In this way, hanging becomes mutually independent equipment between each controlled plant in catenary system, eliminate the reliance on Other hardware devices in shops local, it can thus be avoided single-point relies on the presence of node；In addition, in optional embodiment party It, can also be by way of disposing redundance unit, so that one of occur event for key equipments such as container identification devices in formula Will not have an impact to whole when barrier.It can be with that is, the embodiment of the present application realizes the design of decentralization, in each shops It need not dispose again local " control server ", but unified plan beyond the clouds, it realizes from cloud and linkwork is hung to each shops The control of system improves the stability of suspension catenary system this way it is possible to avoid single-point relies on.

It describes in detail below to concrete implementation scheme.

Embodiment one

Firstly, the embodiment of the present application one provides a kind of suspended chain control system, referring to Fig. 3, which specifically be can wrap It includes:

The control server 301 of network side, for being controlled to the suspension catenary system relevant device in an at least shops System；The suspended chain 300 includes a main ring line and a plurality of branch line；The branch line is used to correspond to the picking knot of picking shelves mouth Fruit imports main ring line；The main ring line is also plugged into a plurality of slideway, and the slideway is used for the picking that will be conveyed on the main ring line As a result corresponding packing road junction is slid into；

Suspension catenary system relevant device in the shops includes:

Container identification device 302, for realizing communication connection with the control server of the network side, in the main ring line The relevant information of the target container of conveying is detected, and is submitted to the control server of the network side；

Multiple slideway controllers 303, for corresponding with a plurality of slideway respectively, and the control with the network side respectively Server realizes communication connection, by the received control information of control server from the network side, on the main ring line Associated container take in the processing of corresponding slideway.

That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the control server no longer localized in deployment shops, but directly exist The control server of cloud on-premise network side is realized and is uniformly controlled to suspension catenary system in multiple shops.Wherein, so-called cloud Network-side can be referred to, that is, non-localized is disposed, it, can also be by cloud in order to mutually be distinguished with the control server of local disposition The control server of end administration is known as the control server, etc. of cloud control server or network side.

Wherein, in order to reach the purpose, can in suspension catenary system container identification device, the equipment such as slideway controller into Row transformation, can directly realize communication connection between the control server of network side.For example, a kind of specific implementation Under, the relevant devices such as container identification device, slideway controller can be redesigned based on Internet of Things fidonetFido, so that they are straight It connected the modes such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet (Ethernet) network and connects shops AP (wireless access point) or interchanger, and is directly logical Cross the control of MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport, message queue telemetering transport protocol) and network side Control server is communicated.In this way, each control equipment is made to be internet of things equipment, can work independently, do not need according to Rely the controllers such as COM1, COM3；In addition, MQTT is designed for Internet of Things, have the characteristics that simplify, efficiently, be delayed it is short, It is also beneficial to realize by the control server of cloud network side to the accurate real-time control for hanging catenary system in shops.In addition, by In network side control server beyond the clouds, therefore, facilitate deployment, dilatation, upgrading, rollback etc. operate, if there is software and hardware Failure is also convenient for technical staff and carries out emergency processing in time.

When specific implementation, the control server 301 of the network side be primarily can be used for, and is received picking task identification and is held Correspondence relationship information between device mark, according to the corresponding batch identification of picking task identification, for container identification distribution pair The packing road junction answered, and the container identification is supplied to the corresponding slideway controller in the packing road junction.The slideway controller It is specifically used for, the container identification that the control server of the network side provides is saved as into container identification set；It is being connect The identification information of the target container of nearly corresponding slideway, belongs to the container identification set by judging whether, it is determined whether need The target container is taken in into corresponding slideway.

As it can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, container identification is directly distributed to specific road by the control server of network side Mouthful, and in the prior art, it needs frequently to request to have to cloud from the control server of the network side in shops's local PC machine Correspondence relationship information between the batch and container of body, then be locally specific container allocation road junction.The embodiment of the present application In scheme, above-mentioned steps can be saved, directly provide relevant letter by the control server of cloud network side for slideway controller Breath can also save the Internet resources in cloud while saving PC cost in shops.

For slideway controller, although having graphic code on container, since container is in fortune in suspended chain Dynamic state, and when by common code reader to the graphic code progress barcode scanning being kept in motion, the success rate and standard of identification Exactness, therefore, carrying out identification to container identification by being equipped with code reader for slip controller is not an easily thing. It is slip controller how to be enabled accurately to identify especially by suspended chain as it can be seen that there is also an issue here The mark of container that conveying comes, being kept in motion.

To solve the above-mentioned problems, under a kind of implementation, RFID (radio frequency identification) can be equipped with for each container Chip, for carrying the mark (consistent with the mark carried in graphic code) of container；And RFID is equipped in each slideway and is read Card device, in this way, the RFID card reader can be to container when container is transported at a slideway valve with main ring line RFID chip is identified, and judges whether the container needs to slide into the road junction by corresponding slideway controller, if it is desired, It then can control slideway valve, so that the container slides into the road junction.Certainly, it is suspended on since container is typically required by suspender It on the chain of suspended chain, also, collides in order to prevent with chain, the distance between container and suspended chain chain would generally phases To farther out, therefore, it is necessary to the outfit high frequency RFID card readers at slideway valve, so that the RFID chip to container is read out.

Alternatively, under another implementation, since the main ring line of suspended chain is usually to be formed by connecting by multiple connecting rod head and the tail, The length about 25CM or so of each connecting rod, each connecting rod have a suspender, for hanging a container.That is, tool It after the container of body is transported on main ring line, can be suspended on one of connecting rod, in this way, container and connecting rod are to correspond 's.Therefore, as long as binding relationship will can be established between connecting rod mark and container identification in advance, for slideway controller Speech, it is only necessary to identify the mark of connecting rod, can determine corresponding container identification, and then determine the need for opening slideway The another container of valve slides into corresponding road junction.

It therefore, is that each connecting rod on suspended chain main ring line adds the first RFID chip in the improved plan, Middle record has connecting rod mark；In addition, the first RFID card reader can be respectively set at each slideway valve, in this way, when connecting When bar will pass through each slideway valve, it can be read into the connecting rod mark carried in specific first RFID chip, and It is supplied to associated slideway controller.Wherein, due to being not in shaking in the connecting rod operational process on main ring line, and can Relatively with the RFID card reader with slideway valve, therefore, it only needs to be equipped with low frequency RFID card reader at each slideway valve , cost can be reduced in this way.

Certainly, under aforesaid way, what the low frequency RFID card reader at specific slideway valve was specifically read is the mark of connecting rod Know, rather than the mark of container, therefore it may only be necessary to set up binding relationship between connecting rod mark and container identification in advance, i.e., Specific container identification can be determined by the identification identified to connecting rod.Certainly, specific container be imported into main ring line it Afterwards, it can be just associated with one of connecting rod, corresponding binding relationship is also that could obtain after this.Therefore, in the case, Container identification implement body may be used for, to the corresponding relationship between the target container conveyed in main ring line and target connecting rod mark Relevant information is acquired, and is submitted to the control server of the network side.Then, existed by the control server of network side Binding relationship is established between target container mark and target connecting rod mark, and is supplied to the slideway controller.In this way, slideway control Device processed can be according to the control service for the target connecting rod mark and the network side that first RFID card reader is read The binding relationship information that device provides determines current close target container mark.In turn, due to before from network side Control server have received the set of container identification for needing to take in, accordingly, it is possible to determine current close Whether target container needs to be incorporated into current slideway.

When specific implementation, in order to the corresponding relationship phase between the target container conveyed in main ring line and target connecting rod mark The information of pass is acquired, and container identification device can be there are many concrete implementation form.For example, under a kind of implementation, it is described The second RFID chip can be respectively associated in container, and record has container identification in second RFID chip.It is then possible to most After the online conversion mouth of the latter (namely at interflow of the last item branch line and main ring line), before first slideway connection (determining the context according to the direction of motion of main ring line) is equipped with second RFID card reader and a third RFID card reader, in this way, second RFID card reader can be with the network side when the connecting rod for being specifically hung with container is close Control server realizes communication connection, to the information recorded in the second RFID chip of the target container conveyed in the main ring line It is read out, obtains target container mark, and target container mark is submitted to the control server of the network side；Institute Stating third RFID card reader equally can realize communication connection with the control server of the network side, in entrance readable range Connecting rod in the first RFID chip in the information that records be read out, obtain target connecting rod mark, and by the target connecting rod Mark is submitted to the control server of the network side.In this way, the control server of network side, is specifically used for holding in the target Binding relationship is established between device mark and target connecting rod mark, and is supplied to each slideway controller, so that each slideway control Device processed can know the binding relationship between connecting rod mark and container identification, in turn, so that it may be read by using low frequency RF ID Card device is read out slide bar mark, that is, can determine that corresponding container identification, and then determine the need for sliding into the container Corresponding slideway.Wherein, the second RFID card reader can be high frequency RFID card reader, third RFID card reader then only need using Low frequency RFID card reader.

In addition there are also a kind of mode for establishing binding relationship between container and connecting rod, in this approach, do not need be again Container is equipped with RFID chip, also no longer needs to be equipped with high-frequency RFID card reader in suspended chain, and only needs each in main ring line Retain RFID chip in connecting rod, and be equipped with code reader for every branch line, container is provided at the interflow of every branch line and main ring line Source identifier and the 4th RFID card reader can realize the binding of container identification and connecting rod mark.Specifically, barcode scanning Device can also realize communication connection with the control server of the network side, the code reader to will be fed into the container of certain branch line into Row barcode scanning, and it is submitted to the control server of network side, by the control server of network side according to the picking for entering same branch line As a result the sequencing of container records the container identification queue for waiting on the branch line and importing main ring line；There is container from certain branch line When at main ring line interflow, container source identifier can be detected the event, and will test result and be supplied to the 4th RFID card reader.4th RFID card reader can determine according to testing result the container whether from the branch line, if so, Then the 4th RFID card reader can be read out the information of the first RFID chip of the connecting rod passed through herein, and mention It is sent to the control server of network side.Later, the control server of network side can be by the corresponding container identification team of the branch line It is identified in column positioned at the target container of head of the queue, establishes binding relationship between the connecting rod mark submitted with the 4th RFID card reader. As it can be seen that in this scenario, it is no longer necessary in suspended chain be equipped with high frequency RFID card reader, and multiple low frequency RFID card readers with And container source identifier, code reader etc., the cost being combined can generally also be lower than a high frequency RFID card reader, because This, can reduce cost, more suitable for applying in the shops of new retail mode.

Wherein, specific container source identifier may include the first optical fiber triggering before being distributed at the interflow The second optical fiber trigger after at device and the interflow, when the second optical fiber trigger detects container close to event, really Whether fixed first optical fiber trigger has also detected that container close to event, if it is not, can in preset time before this To determine that the container comes from the branch line, otherwise, other branch lines, etc. before coming.

Again alternatively, being associated in the graphic code graphic code in the case that record has container identification in container, container identification Implement body may include at the interflow for being deployed in the last item branch line and the main ring line after, first slideway and the main ring Camera apparatus and the 5th RFID card reader before the connection of line, wherein since container is kept in motion, institute The sampling time for stating camera apparatus needs to be less than preset threshold value.That is, in the case where the sampling time meets certain condition, it can also Directly to be taken pictures by camera apparatus to the container under motion state, also, the camera apparatus can also be with the network side Control server realize communication connection, result of taking pictures directly is submitted to the control server of network side.In this way, network side Control server is parsed as the graphic code in the photo to obtained by, it is also possible to obtain container identification；In addition, the 5th RFID Card reader can also realize communication connection with the control server of the network side, for the connecting rod entered in readable range In RFID chip be read out, obtain connecting rod mark, and be submitted to the control server of network side.In this way, the control of network side Control server can be according to the reading of parsing result and the 5th RFID card reader to graphic code in photo as a result, building Binding relationship, etc. between vertical container identification and connecting rod mark.

A variety of different implementations for being used to carry out container identification are presented above, in short, being all to need when specific implementation Will for suspended chain be equipped with container identification device (concrete form can be multiple high frequency RFID card readers, single high frequency RFID card reader+ Multiple low frequency RFID card readers, code reader+container source identifier+multiple low frequencies RFID card reader, industrial camera+multiple low frequencies RFID card reader, etc.) and slideway controller, it is realized with this and path clustering is carried out to the container conveyed in suspended chain.This Shen Please be in embodiment, these above-mentioned equipment can be redesigned using related protocols such as Internet of Things, so that respectively mutually It is independent, and can be communicated respectively with the control server of network side.In this way, due to no longer needing some COM1, COM3 to control Device processed etc. is connect with local PC machine, therefore, it is possible to reduce single-point relies on the presence of node, is conducive to the stalwartness of raising system Property.

It, can the control server with network side independently in addition, due to the corresponding slip controller of each slideway It is communicated, therefore, naturally occurring Redundancy Design between each slideway controller, even if wherein a slideway breaks down, It only needs to be set as the slideway to be temporarily disabled state, does not interfere with the normal operation of other slideways or other equipment.

And about the container identification device, in the side for needing to pre-establish binding relationship between container identification and connecting rod mark In case, since container identification device once breaks down, then the normal judgement of subsequent slideway controller may be influenced whether, Therefore, container identifier can be set to at least two sets, at least two sleeve containes identifiers control with the network side respectively Control server realizes communication connection, and executes corresponding Detection task, in this way, can be in the testing result of each sleeve containes identifier Between formed backup.By this Redundancy Design, the robustness of system can be further improved.

What needs to be explained here is that in the above-mentioned side for needing to pre-establish binding relationship between container identification and connecting rod mark In case, since the information that container identification device needs will test is submitted to the control server of network side, then the control by network side Control server is supplied to slideway controller, and in the process, suspension catenary system is to continue with what is moved forwards, can't stop It waits；And from container identifier to cloud controller, then from cloud controller to slideway controller, when may undergo one section Between, therefore, it is necessary to guarantee that container before running to the connection of first slideway and main ring line, completes identification, and will be related Binding relationship information be supplied to slideway controller.For this purpose, when being designed, can by container identification device and the first slideway with The distance between the connection of main ring line is relatively longer, reserves time enough interval for above-mentioned treatment process.For example, Assuming that aforementioned information interactive process can be completed in 5S, then it can make connecing for container identification device and the first slideway and main ring line Distance between refuting, greater than the product, etc. of the suspended chain speed of service and above-mentioned average length of time.

In addition, when specific implementation, the slideway controller can also after the target container is taken in corresponding slideway, on Offer the control server of the network side；In this way, the control server of the network side can be also used for, to same batch pair When each target container answered all is incorporated into the slideway, notify to the slideway controller；Correspondingly, the slideway controller It is also used to, controls associated prompt equipment and issue prompt information.It lights for example, can control slideway indicator light, is packaged with reminding Operating personnel, which removes the container on the slideway, be packaged, etc..

It, can also be certainly dynamic by manual operation or slideway after operating personnel removes specific container from slideway Property etc. modes, the equipment such as indicator light are closed, at this point, the slideway controller can also close the prompt equipment receive Instruction after, be reported to the control server of the network side；In this way, the control server of the network side can also be by correspondence Slideway discharged, to distribute to next batch.
