具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例对本公开作进一步的详细说明。可以理解的是，此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅设置为解释本公开，而非对本公开的限定。另外还需要说明的是，为了便于描述，附图中仅示出了与本公开相关的部分而非全部结构。在不冲突的情况下，以下实施例以及实施例中的特征可以任意相互组合。
图1是本公开一实施例中的一种物料搬送方法的流程图，本实施例可适设置为需要调整搬送设备搬送负载量的情况，该方法可以由物料搬送系统来执行，具体包括如下步骤：
步骤110、获取当前生产线上至少两台搬送设备的当前工作时段的搬送负载量。
其中，所述搬送设备主要负责生产制造过程中所需物料的搬送，所述搬送负载量即需要所述搬送设备搬送的物料量。
步骤120、根据所述搬送负载量调整所述至少两台搬送设备的运送区域的大小；和/或，调整所述至少两台搬送设备的各运送子区域的运送优先级。
其中，每一所述搬送设备的所述运送区域包括共享运送子区域和独立运送子区域。
其中，每一所述搬送设备的所述独立运送子区域为所述搬送设备独立负责物料搬送的区域，共享运送子区域为所述搬送设备与其他搬送设备共同负责物料搬送的区域。
具体的，可以将各搬送设备的搬送负载量与预设搬送负载量进行比较，若搬送设备的搬送负载量与预设搬送负载量的差值大于第一预设阈值，或搬送负载量与预设搬送负载量的差值小于第二预设阈值，则所述搬送设备的搬送负载量较大或较小，可以调整所述搬送设备的运送区域大小，和/或，调整各运送子区域的运送优先级，以调整其搬送负载量，平衡各搬送设备的工作量。另外，还可以计算具有共同运送子区域的搬送设备的搬送负载量之间的差值，根据所述差值调整各搬送设备的运送区域大小，和/或各运送子区域的运送优先级。
可选的，当前生产线上搬送设备为两台，则根据所述搬送负载量调整所述至少两台搬送设备的运送区域的大小；和/或，调整所述至少两台搬送设备的各 运送子区域的运送优先级，包括：
计算两台所述搬送设备的所述搬送负载量之间的负载差值；
若所述负载差值大于或等于第一负载阈值，则根据所述负载差值调整所述两台搬送设备的运送区域的大小；和/或，调整所述两台搬送设备的各运送子区域的运送优先级。
其中，所述第一负载阈值可以根据需要进行设定，并不做具体限定。通过计算两台搬送设备的搬送差值可以判断两台搬送设备的搬送负载量是否平衡，当所述负载差值大于或等于所述第一负载阈值时，说明两台搬送设备的搬送负载量相差较大，即存在一台搬送设备相对较忙，而另一台搬送设备相对较闲的现象，此时可以根据所述负载差值调整所述两台搬送设备的运送区域或运送优先级等，以平衡两台搬送设备的搬送负载量，提高搬送效率，从而提供生产效率。
可选的，根据所述搬送负载量调整所述至少两条搬送设备的运送区域的大小，包括：增大搬送负载量较小的所述搬送设备的运送区域，缩小搬送负载量较大的所述搬送设备的运送区域。
这样设置，可以减少搬送负载量较大的搬送设备的负载量，而增大搬送负载量较小的搬送设备的搬送负载量，从而平衡各搬送设备的搬送负载。具体的，负载量较大的搬送设备的运送区域减小的部分可以作为负载量较小的搬送设备的运送区域增大的部分。
可选的，根据所述搬送负载量调整所述至少两台搬送设备的运送区域的大小，包括：增大搬送负载量较小的所述搬送设备的共享运送子区域，并缩小搬送负载量较大的所述搬送设备的独立运送子区域。
具体的，图2a是本公开一实施例中的搬送设备调整前的运送区域示意图， 图2b是本公开一实施例中的搬送设备调整后的运送区域示意图。参考图2a，以两台搬送设备为例，第一搬送设备的运送区域包括独立运送子区域A和共享运送子区域C，第二搬送设备的运送区域包括独立运送子区域B和共享运送子区域C，其中，共享运送子区域C由第一搬送设备和第二搬送设备共同运送物料。当第一搬送设备的搬送负载量较大，第二搬送设备的搬送负载量较小，造成第一搬送设备较忙，而第二搬送设备较闲时，参考图2b，可以增大共享运送子区域C，并缩小第一搬送设备的独立运送子区域A，这样第二搬送设备可以分担部分属于第一搬送设备的搬送任务，从而平衡降低两台搬送设备的搬送负载量。
可选的，调整所述至少两台搬送设备的各运送子区域的运送优先级，包括：
对搬送负载量较大的所述搬送设备，调整其独立运送子区域的运送优先级大于共享运送子区域的运送优先级；对搬送负载量较小的所述搬送设备，调整其共享运送子区域的运送优先级大于独立运送子区域的运送优先级。
具体的，仍以两台搬送设备为例，参考图2b，对于搬送负载量较大的第一搬送设备，其独立运送子区域A的运送优先级大于共享运送子区域C，对于搬送负载量较小的第二搬送设备，其共享运送子区域C的运送优先级大于独立运送子区域B，这样设置，搬送负载量较小的搬送设备可以分担一部分搬送负载量较大的搬送设备的工作量，从而提高工作效率，提高生产率。
另外，在实际生产线中会存在物料搬送的起始位置(物料存放位置)与目标位置在同一运送子区域或不在同一运送子区域的情况，具体可分为以下几种情况：
第一种：起始位置在独立运送子区域，目标位置在独立运送子区域；
第二种：起始位置在独立运送子区域，目标位置在共享运送子区域；
第三种；起始位置在共享运送子区域，目标位置在共享运送子区域。
对于搬送负载量较大的运送设备，应优先对第一种情况进行运送，其次为第二种情况，最后为第三种情况。对于搬送负载量较小的运送设备，应优先对第二种情况进行运送，其次为第三种，最后为第一种。这样保证了，搬送负载量较大的搬送设备优先运送独立运送子区域，搬送负载量较小的搬送设备优先运送共享运送子区域，平衡了两者的工作量，从而提高工作效率，提高了生产率。
