In this way, the picking mechanism 12 can directly pick up the goods groups 900 on the picking mechanism 12 and directly release the picked goods 910 in batches in sequence, so that the efficiency of the picking mechanism 12 releasing the goods 910 in batches to the outer conveying mechanism 11 is improved, the purpose that the accumulation conveying mechanism 13 assists the picking mechanism 12 in grouping the goods 910 is achieved, and the efficiency of the accumulation grouping conveying device 10 conveying the goods 910 to the loading equipment is further improved.

The loading requirement data may further include an interval time set, where the interval time set represents a set of interval times between two adjacent stacking actions when the loading device stacks, for example, in a process of stacking the goods 910 by the loading device three times in succession, the interval times between two adjacent stacking actions are 10s and 12s, respectively, and at this time, the interval time set is a set of two numbers 10 and 12.

The master control can also control the picking mechanism 12 to release the cargo groups 900 in batches according to the interval time set, so that the interval time of the cargo groups 900 arriving at the loading equipment along with the outer conveying mechanism 11 corresponds to the interval time set. For example, when the interval time set is a set of two numbers 10 and 12, the main controller 15 controls the pickup mechanism 12 to release the goods 910 in batches according to the interval time set, so that the interval times between three pickup groups 123 sequentially releasing the goods 910 three times on the pickup mechanism 12 are respectively 10s and 12s, the time when the goods 910 arrive at the loader is synchronized with the rhythm of stacking the goods 910 on the loader, the loader can stack the goods 910 in time, the probability of stacking the goods 910 near the loader is reduced, and the loading efficiency of the loading equipment is further improved.

referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of a cumulative grouping transmission method according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The second embodiment of the present invention provides an accumulative grouping and conveying method, which has the characteristic of higher efficiency of conveying goods 910. The cumulative packet transmission method can be applied to the above embodiments, and it should be noted that the basic principle and the generated technical effects of the cumulative packet transmission method provided by the present embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiments, and for brief description, corresponding contents in the above embodiments may be referred to where this embodiment is not mentioned in part.

The cumulative packet delivery method includes:

step S101: receiving and aligning the cargo 910 by the accumulation conveyor 13;

step S102: the goods 910 on the accumulation conveyor 13 are picked up by the pickup mechanism 12, and the picked-up goods 910 are released in batches to the outer conveyor 11.

In other words, the accumulation group conveying device 10 accumulates the goods 910 by the accumulation conveying mechanism, then the picking mechanism 12 picks up the goods 910 accumulated thereon, and the picking mechanism 12 releases the picked-up goods 910 to the outer conveying mechanism 11 in batches, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly conveying the goods 910 to the loading equipment in batches, and when the picking mechanism 12 releases the picked-up goods 910, the accumulation group conveying device 10 may continue to accumulate the goods 910, so that the picking mechanism 12 can continuously pick up and release the goods 910, so that the efficiency of conveying the goods 910 to the loading equipment by the accumulation group conveying device 10 is high.

Further, step S101 may specifically be: the received goods 910 are divided into a plurality of groups 900 by the accumulation conveyor 13, wherein each group 900 includes one or more goods 910, and the goods 910 in the group 900 are arranged in sequence. In this way, the accumulation conveyor mechanism 13 is made to perform certain grouping work so that the picking mechanism 12 can directly pick up the group 900 and directly release the group 900, facilitating the picking mechanism 12 to pick up and release the goods 910.

Moreover, the cumulative conveying mechanism 13 divides the received goods 910 into a plurality of groups 900, and the cumulative conveying mechanism 13 is controlled by the main controller 15 of the cumulative grouping and conveying device 10, so that the number of the goods 910 of each group 900 on the cumulative conveying mechanism 13 corresponds to the single group number set, and thus, the number of the goods 910 in the group 900 conveyed to the car loader meets the stacking requirement of the car loader, and the car loading efficiency of the car loader is improved.

Further, the step of releasing the goods 910 in batches in step S102 may specifically be: the picking mechanism 12 is controlled by the main controller 15 of the accumulated grouping conveying device 10, so that the interval time of the cargo group 900 reaching the loading equipment along with the outer conveying mechanism 11 corresponds to the interval time set, and thus, the time of the cargo 910 reaching the loader is synchronous with the rhythm of the cargo 910 stacked by the loader, so that the cargo 910 can be timely stacked by the loader, the probability that the cargo 910 is stacked near the loader is reduced, and the loading efficiency of the loading equipment is further improved.

In summary, the following steps:

a second embodiment of the present invention provides an accumulative grouping conveying method, which has the feature of higher efficiency of conveying goods 910.
