  • the invention belongs to the field of warehouse picking technology, and in particular relates to an order fulfillment system and method.
  • the e-commerce warehouse In order to complete the processing of purchase orders issued by consumers as soon as possible, the e-commerce warehouse needs to pick up, package and ship the goods purchased by consumers as soon as possible.
  • the picking in the traditional mode is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
  • the methods used for picking goods in traditional e-commerce warehouses are as follows: 1. “fruit picking + seeding” type: multiple orders are merged into one picking order, and the picking staff picks up all the goods (picked fruit) according to the picking list, and picks up the goods. The goods are mixed together and need to be sorted and distributed, and the mixed goods are distributed to the packing box according to the order (sowing). 2. “Picking fruit” type: Some e-commerce warehouses adopt the picking method directly. The packing box corresponds to the good order before the picking starts. Multiple packing boxes are placed on a special material truck. The picking personnel push the material truck in the warehouse. Looking for the goods and picking them out, the sorted goods are placed directly into the corresponding packing box. This mode does not need to be processed by the distribution. However, because the material truck and the goods are heavier, the picking personnel engaged in this work are labor intensive.
  • the traditional "goods to person” model is actually “shelf to person", that is, the mobile device moves the entire movable shelf storing the goods to be picked to the vicinity of the person.

Description

一种订单完成系统和方法
相关申请
本申请要求2017年7月11日申请的,申请号为201710562402.4,名称为“一种订单完成系统和方法”的中国专利申请的优先权,在此将其全文引入作为参考。
技术领域
本发明属于仓储拣货技术领域,尤其涉及一种订单完成系统和方法。
背景技术
随着电子商务的发展,大型、超大型的仓库不断建设并投入使用,面对每天大量的订单,如何实现仓库内高效、准确、及时地拣货,已成为影响订单处理、发货速度的重要因素,尤其是存货种类多、数量大、拣货频次高的仓库,科学、高效的拣货方法将直接决定仓库的使用效率和发货速度。
电商仓库为了尽快完成消费者下发的采购订单的处理,需要尽快把消费者购买的货物从仓库内拣出、包装、发货,传统模式下的拣货耗时、费力。
传统电商仓库拣货采用的方法有:1.“摘果+播种”式:多个订单合并成一个拣货单,拣货人员根据拣货单一次性拣取所有货物(摘果),拣出的货物是混在一起的,需要再经过分拨处理,把混在一起的多种货物按照订单分配到包装箱中(播种)。2.“摘果”式:部分电商仓库直接采取摘果式,包装箱在拣货开始前对应好订单,多个包装箱放置到一台特殊的料车上,拣货人员推动料车在仓库内寻找货物并拣出,拣出的货物直接放进对应的包装箱中,此模式不需要再经过分拨处理,但因料车及货物较重,从事此工作的拣货人员劳动强度大。
传统的“货到人”模式其实是“货架到人”,即:可移动设备将存储有待拣货物的整个可移动货架移动到人附近。传统模式下,每次拣货,都需要可移动设备从存储区将货架搬出,完成拣货后整个货架再放回,可移动设备一次穿梭通常只能完成一个或少量几个货物的拣出。这种传统拣货模式效率低下、增加了设备能耗和磨损从而提高了维护保养成本。
因此,本领域的技术人员致力于开发一种减少人工、降低劳动强度并提高效率的仓储拣货拣货方法。本发明借助自动化设备辅助实现订单拣选工作,既节省人力又降低了劳动强度。本发明为解决传统“货到人”模式效率较低的问题,改进为“货箱到人”的模式:货物存储在小型货箱或托盘中,可移动设备根据后台系统的调度,每次“针对性地”拿取多个小型货箱或托盘,送到拣货站。本发明使用的可移动设备在存储区到拣货站的一次穿梭中可以运送多个待拣货物,效率能够有明显的提高。
发明内容
针对上述问题,本申请提供一种能够提升效率的订单完成系统。
本申请提供一种订单完成系统,包括仓库、运输订单的料车、运输料车的可移动装置、运输货物的可移动设备以及控制中心,其中,所述仓库包括订单准备区、高频拣货区、低频拣货区以及中间协作区,所述订单准备区用于将订单与所述运输订单的料车关联,将携带订单的料车与所述运输货物的可移动装置关联,所述高频拣货区用于供携带订单的料车拣货,所述低频拣货区用于供运输货物的可移动设备拣货,所述中间协作区用于供运输货物的可移动设备将拣取的货物放入、以及用于供料车停靠并将运输货物的可移动设备放入的货物放入料车,所述控制中心用于控制运输订单的料车、运输货物的可移动装置以及中间协作区进行工作。
本发明还提供一种订单完成方法,包括以下步骤:包括以下步骤:
在订单准备区将订单与料车绑定、以将料车与运输货物的可移动装置绑定;
将料车运输至高频拣货区拣货;
运输货物的可移动设备在低频拣货区拣货,并将货物送至中间协作区的工作站台;以及

具体实施方式
下面将对本申请实施方式中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施方式仅仅是本申请一部分实施方式,而不是全部的实施方式。基于本申请中的实施方式,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施方式,都属于本申请保护的范围。
请参阅图1,本发明实施例中提供一种订单完成系统100,用于处理订单,该订单完成系统100包括仓库、运输订单的料车、运输货物的可移动装置、运输货物的可移动设备以及控制中心。其中,仓库包括订单准备区、高频拣货区、低频拣货区、中间协作区、补货区以及订单完成区。为了表述方便,运输货物的可移动装置命名为小车,运输货物的可移动设备命名为可移动设备。
需要说明的是,订单准备区用于将订单与运输订单的料车关联,简单地说就是将接到的订单与料车关联,使料车获取运输订单内的货物的任务,然后料车在通过高频拣货区、中间协作区后将需要的货物装载到料车上的包装箱内,然后前往订单完成区,在订单完成区对包装箱进行封装,完成接到的订单。可以理解,同一个料车可以同时与多个订单关联,多个订单可以相同也可以不同。料车与订单关联确切的来说是订单与料车上的存储位关联,该关联的具体原理为;料车一般有多层,每一层都有多个存储位,每个存储位在料车上的具体位置为已知值,均存储在控制中心中,每个存储位都设有标示符,以便于控制中心提示操作人员订单在料车上的位置,标示符例如为数字、指示灯等;终控系统在发出订单信息至订单准备区时,订单准备区的工作人员将订单打印出来,订单上均有条码或二维码,通过条码或者二维码反映出订单内货物的名称、规格、数量,同时还可以通过条码或者二维码与料车的存储位绑定。进一步地,订单首先会粘贴在用于装载订单内货物的包装箱上,然后将包装箱放入料车上的存储位,然后在通过扫码设备等操作终端将订单与存储为绑定。在料车与订单绑定后,料车具体是通过一种小车来运输的,该小车能够与料车通过对接机构对接,可以理解,对接机构一部分设置在小车上,另一部分设置在料车上,对接机构的两个部分可以对接在一起也可以分开。料车在与小车对接后,该小车与料车上的订单也会进行绑定,控制中心通过控制小车的运作,来移动料车。
高频拣货区内储存订单需要频次较高的货物,通常是通过人跟随料车进入高频区,将货物直接放入对应的包装箱内,完成高频区拣货。
低频拣货区内存储订单需求频次较低的货物,订单中所需要的货物与低频拣货区内的货物对应时,该货物会通过可移动设备拣取,然后通过可以移动设备运输到中间协作区,然后例如通过工作人员,将该货物放入对应料车的对应包装箱内。为了表述方便,以下将运输货物的可移动设备直接描述为可移动设备。可以理解,高频拣货区与低频拣货区的概念仅仅是用于对仓库进行划分,其目的是为了体现出仓库存在两个区域,一个区域可以将货物直接装入料车上的包装箱,另一区域通过可移动设备将货物从该区域拣出,然后送往中间协作区并通过该设备将货物放在中间协作区,中间协作区的操作人员根据提示将货物放入料车上的对应包装箱内。具体地,中间协作区例如设置多个拣货站,该拣货站会有供料车停靠的停靠位置,以及用来放置货物的货柜,货柜能够满足多个可移动设备同时将货物放入该货柜,或者将该货柜内的货物取出。拣货站内例如还设有提示设备、扫描设备等操作终端,该提示设备例如被配置为在与订单对应的货物到达,以及与订单对应的料车到达,控制系统开启提示设备进行提示,提示的内容例如为货物名称、数量、图片等。扫描设备等操作终端用于在订单完成后扫码,以反馈信号给控制中心,使小车进行下一步动作。
补货区用于向低频拣货区内补货,可以理解,低频拣货区内的货物在被可移动设备拣取后,低频拣货区内的货物会相应地减少,当低频拣货区内的任意一种货物下降到阈值后,可移动设备前往补货区拣取对应的货物,然后将货物补入低频拣货区。
订单完成区,用于在料车到达该区域后,对料车上的包装箱进行卸载、包装以及封装等工作,完成整个订单。
控制中心用于发出指令给运输料车的小车、可移动设备以及中间协作区,使小车、可移动设备以及中间协作区协作完成订单所需货物的装箱以及运输,并接收小车、可移动设备、中间协作区以及订单完成区的反馈信号,以控制可移动设备、小车、中间协作区以及订单完成区进行下一步作动。
请一并参阅图2,图2提供一种仓库10,仓库10应用于订单完成系统100中并用于存储货物,仓库10内设置有多个 工作站台30。工作站台30可以为拣货站,也可以为理货站及补货站。拣货站用以供操作人员对照订单信息,理货站用以供操作人员整理货物,补货站用以供操作人员补充货物。下面以拣货站为实施对象,描述具体实施方式。
可移动设备在低频拣货区内的交互频次相对较低,在高频拣货区内的交互频次相对较高。订单准备区生成订单信息后,可移动设备在低频拣货区内拣出目标货物,拣出的目标货物在仓库10内的工作站台30处完成与订单信息的确认,当在工作站台30内工作的拣货员确认目标货物符合订单信息后,目标货物通过料车运送至订单完成区实现货物的封装打包。
仓库10中存放的货物可以由订单完成系统100中配设的可移动设备搬运至预设的目标位置处,该预设的目标位置可以是仓库10中用以确认订单信息的工作站台30,也可以是除工作站台30之外的其他站点。
可以理解,本发明提供的仓库10并不限于仅能够应用于基于智能物流技术的订单完成系统100中。在其他的实施方式中,仓库10还可以应用于传统物流系统中的仓储,只要货物能够存储至仓库10内的使用环境均可应用本发明提供的仓库10。
用以供拣货的多个可移动设备在仓库10内工作,仓库10布设于一个三维坐标系内,该三维坐标系具有在水平面内互相垂直的X轴及Y轴、以及与X轴及Y轴均垂直的Z轴,仓库包括沿平行于三维坐标系中的X轴方向间隔地排列的多簇货架11,每簇货架11均沿着沿平行于三维坐标系中的Y轴方向延伸,相邻的两簇货架11之间形成供所述可移动设备穿梭的过道12,过道12沿平行于Y轴方向延伸,每簇货架11包括两列背向设置的货架11,每列货架都具有沿平行于Y轴方向和Z轴方向行列排布的多个存储格13,部分存储格13内设置有用以承载货物的托盘14,余下部分的存储格13空置,托盘14上设置有用以确定自身在三维坐标系中的位置信息的定位标志141。
需要说明的是,仓库10内的任意一个位置处的坐标在上述三维坐标系中都是已知的,即仓库10在布置上述元件后,每一个元件在上述三维坐标系的位置坐标已知,并且上述元件的坐标会存储在订单完成系统的终控端。换句话说,也就是终控端知道在该三维坐标系中,在一个特定地坐标位置,仓库10内设置一个特定的元件。例如在X轴坐标值为1,Y轴坐标值为(2,8)的这个区间内,放置了一列货架11,在X轴坐标值为1,Y轴坐标值至为2,Z轴坐标值为2.3的位置是该列货架11的一个存储格13。可以理解的是,虽然每个存储格13都有长度和宽度和高度,在确定存储格13的具体位置时,X轴坐标值为1指的是存储格13的长度中点的坐标,Y轴坐标值为2指的是存储格13的宽度中点的坐标,Z轴坐标值为2,3指的是存储格13的高度中点的坐标,可以进一步理解的是,虽然每列货架11都长度和宽度以及高度,X轴坐标值指的是该列货架11的宽度中点,Y轴坐标值为(2,8)指的是该货架11的两端的坐标。
另外,对仓库10中每个定位标志141和存储格13都设定一个位置坐标,所述位置坐标与所述每个定位标志141和存储格13的X轴、Y轴和Z轴坐标相对应。
对于可移动设备(运输货物的可移动设备)而言,可移动设备上带有叉齿机构,叉齿机构能够相对可移动设备运动,插接机构具有侧叉功能,所谓的侧叉指的是叉齿机构能够在与可移动设备移动方向垂直的水平方向上运动,叉齿机构在可移动设备上的水平面内的初始位置确定,相对该初始位置,叉齿机构在与可移动设备移动方向垂直的水平方向上运动的距离是定值,另外叉齿机构也能够直叉,相对侧叉而言,直叉是相对能够侧叉位置旋转了90°,直叉的方向与可移动设备的移动方向相同,并且相对初始位置,直叉时叉齿相对可移动设备移动的距离为定值。可移动设备在仓库内的位置任意一位置的坐标是已知值,具体原理为,仓库10的地面上铺设有地标,该地标例如为二维码,可以通过地标确定仓库10的任意一位置在三维坐标系的X轴上坐标值以及Y轴上的坐标值,通过该任意一位置所在的高度确定出在三维坐标系的Z轴上的坐标值。更具体地,可移动设备上具体设有寻迹传感器,用于获取地标信息,进而确定其自身在三维坐标系中的水平坐标,虽然可移动设备有长度宽度和高度,在具体设置时,可以取可移动设备的中心来标定可移动设备的坐标,即寻迹传感器可以确定出可移动设备的X轴坐标和Y轴坐标,可移动设备的中心高度是已知值,即确定出可移动式的Z轴坐标,而叉齿机构在可移动设备上的相对位置是确定的,这样就可以确定出叉齿机构在三维坐标系中的X轴向和Y轴向坐标,叉齿机构在直叉和侧叉时候的运动距离是定值,将叉齿的侧叉与直叉时的运动距离与三维坐标系关联,即可确定出叉齿机构在直叉和侧叉时,叉齿机构的坐标变化量(具体为X轴坐标和Y轴坐标),进一步地,叉齿机构能够在可移动设备上升降,叉齿机构例如位于最低点时,该位置为叉齿机构在竖直方向上的初始位置,竖直方向的位置的位置坐标,也就是Z轴坐标,也可以通过测量得到,叉齿机构上升和下降的距离即反应出Z轴坐标变化,将叉齿机构升高到指定高度该高度会和待取出货物的高度匹配,使叉齿机构能够取出货物,然后通过侧插或者直叉取出待取出货物。
对于运输货物的可移动装置而言,其只需通过自身安装的寻迹传感器来寻找自身在三维坐标系中的X轴坐标和Y轴坐标即可。其原理与上述过程相似,在此不再赘述。
对于仓库10内的其他元件的位置坐标的定义,也参照上述方式,在此不再赘述。
需要进一步说明的是,由于托盘14是可移动设备抓取货物的媒介,可移动设备在抓取货物后需要将货物运送到指定位置,所以在托盘14被抓取后放置到指定位置后托盘14的坐标会重新建立,该重建过程详见下述。
每一簇货架11包括两排后侧面相互抵持并相背设置的多个货架11,两排货架11的后侧面相互抵持使得每一排货架11的开口都能够朝外,从而方便可移动设备拣出设置于货架11上的货物。可以理解,最外侧的两簇货架11仅需要设置一列货架11。
本实施方式中,货架11的数量为二十一簇。可以理解,在其他的实施方式中,货架11的数量还可以采用除二十一簇之外的其他数量。
每两簇相邻的货架11间隔设置并形成的过道12能够允许可移动设备通过。可以理解,由于多簇货架11相互平行排列,多个过道12之间也相互平行排列。可移动设备在过道12内穿梭移动并达到指定的存储格13,其在控制中心的信号指引下取下指定存储格13上的货物。
可移动设备在订单完成系统中控制中心的信号指引下,通过过道12穿梭至需要搬运的存储格13处,将存放于存储格13内的货物搬运至工作站台30内,从而实现订单完成系统中对货物的拣货过程。
多簇平行排列的货架11组成一个存储区111,存储区111的数量可以是多个,多个存储区111之间间隔设置并形成沿平行于X轴方向延伸的干道15。过道12为“单车道”,过道12的宽度仅允许一个可移动设备沿平行于Y轴方向直线移动,这里的直线移动指的是可移动设备无法在过道12内转弯;干道15为“双车道”,干道15的宽度允许多个可移动设备沿平行于X轴方向相对地移动,这里的相对移动指的是多个可移动设备可以在干道15内以相反的两个方向移动。
干道15的开设,使得可移动设备可以通过横向设置的干道15快速到达需要拣货的过道12内,避免可移动设备出现必须在仓库10最外侧周向环绕才可以到达拣货过道12的绕道行为。
请一并参阅图3,图3为图2所述仓库10中存储格13及托盘14的结构示意图,存储格13用以存放货物,货架11具有沿平行于X轴方向和Z轴方向延伸的多个存储格13,每一个存储格13内放置一个货物。
货物可以由托盘14承载,托盘14可以均具有多个支撑腿,此时多个支撑腿支撑托盘14上与货物直接接触的承重板,从而使得货物与存储格13的层板并不直接接触。因此可移动设备中用以拣货的叉齿能够伸入多个支撑腿形成的空间内,方便可移动设备将货物取出。
当然,托盘14的承重板也可以直接承载货物,此时可移动设备的叉齿伸入托盘14与存储格13之间的缝隙从而搬运货物。
货架11中的存储格13并不全部都装设有托盘14,部分存货单元的存储格13内空置,空置的存储格13用以供订单完成系统中的补货系统补充货物。
存储格13的长度、宽度以及高度需要与货物的尺寸匹配,也即存储格13的长度需要大于货物的长度、存储格13的宽度需要大于货物的宽度、存储格13的高度需要大于货物的高度。
托盘14上设有用以供可移动设备定位的定位标识141,托盘14上设置的定位标识141能够定位可移动设备的位置。当可移动设备移动至指定存储格13上的托盘14处,可移动设备通过定位标识141获取自身位置与标准位置之间的误差,可移动设备通过姿态调节的方式补偿该误差后再搬运指定货物。这里所指的自身位置与标准位置之间的误差,是指可移动设备上的叉齿与标准位置之间的偏差,包括叉齿高于标准位置、叉齿低于标准位置等多种情况。
本实施方式中,定位标识141采用二维码的形式,可移动设备拍摄托盘14上的二维码并以二维码所在的位置为标准位置,可移动设备同时获得自身位置与标准位置之间的误差;同时,可移动设备根据自身位置与标准位置之间的误差,调节自身的姿态,从而消除该误差。
可以理解,在其他的实施方式中,定位标识141还可以采用传感器、凹槽、凸块以及其它的图案。
托盘14是可移动设备抓取货物的媒介,可移动设备在抓取货物后需要将货物运送到指定位置,所以在托盘14被抓取后放置到指定位置后托盘14的坐标会重新建立。在建立托盘14的坐标时,订单完成系统会向指定位置派送补充的货物,指定位置的坐标在三维坐标系内已知,当可移动设备将货物设置于托盘14内时,可移动设备感知托盘14上的定位标识141与自身位置的偏差,此时可移动设备将指定位置的坐标与托盘14的坐标绑定发送至控制中心,也即此时指定位置的坐标即是当前托盘14的坐标,从而完成对托盘14坐标的重新建立。
由于可移动设备可向两侧出叉拣货,因此可移动设备无需转弯或者原地转动,过道12的宽度仅需要不小于1.1倍的可移动设备的宽度,过道12的宽度在可移动设备的宽度的1.1倍与1.3倍之间,可移动设备的宽度需要不小于1.5倍货物宽度,可移动设备的长度则需要不小于2.5倍的货物宽度。
优选地,过道12的宽度为1.1倍的可移动设备的宽度。
例如,货物宽度600mm,则可移动设备的宽度可以为900mm,可移动设备的长度可以为1500mm,过道12宽度可以为1080mm。
由于可移动设备无需转弯或者原地转动,多簇货架11之间所形成的过道12的宽度大幅度下降,因此提高了多簇 货架11之间的密度,提高了仓库的利用率和整个订单完成系统的工作效率。
拣货站30的数量至少为一个,每个拣货站30至少对接一簇货架11,也即每个拣货站30会对应部分数量的托盘14。优选地,拣货站30优选地以就近原则的方式对接与自身临近的一簇或者多簇货架11,每个拣货站30优选地对应200个至3000个所述托盘。当拣货站30的数量为多个时,拣货站30沿平行于三维坐标系中的X轴方向间隔排列。
本实施方式中,工作站台30的数量为六个,每一个工作站台30对接多簇货架11。
请参阅图4,图4为本发明一个实施方式中工作站台30的结构示意图,工作站台30应用于图示所述的订单完成系统中,用于将供拣货员将所述订单完成系统中存储于仓库内的货物对照检查为满足订单需求的货箱,满足订单需求的货箱在拣货员的检查后运送至订单完成区完成打包过程。
可以理解,本发明提供的工作站台30并不限于仅能够应用于上述的订单完成系统中。在其他的实施方式中,工作站台30还可以应用于其他的订单完成系统或者传统物流系统的订单信息确认的过程中。
工作站台30包括一个拣货工作区域31、至少一个货架32以及至少一个料车停靠位33,货架32与料车停靠位33均设置在拣货工作区域31的侧边,货架21围设于拣货工作区域31的至少两个侧边上,货架32内设置有多个暂存位321,
货架32允许多个可移动设备将拣出的货物搬运至暂存位321内,拣货工作区域31用以供拣货员对照订单信息,货架32内的暂存位321用以暂时性的存储由可移动设备拣出的待拣货员对照的货物,料车停靠位33用以供订单完成系统将拣货员对照确认后的货物搬运至订单完成区打包送出。
本实施方式中,拣货工作区域31大致呈方形,货架32以及料车停靠位33均位于方形拣货工作区域31的一个侧边处,将拣货工作区域31设置为方形能够与订单完成系统中行列排布的可移动设备相配适,避免增加可移动设备需要转变姿态才可以停靠在货架32。
可以理解,在其他的实施方式中,拣货工作区域31还可以设置为除方形之外的其他形状,只要拣货工作区域31的形状不干扰货架32以及料车停靠位33的正常运转即可。
货架32沿订单完成系统的Z轴向排列有多个暂存位321,货架32的数量可以是一个,也可以是多个,货架32可以沿订单完成系统的X轴向设置,也可以沿订单完成系统的Y轴向设置。
本实施方式中,货架32沿直线设置,沿直线设置的货架32的数量为三个,两个货架32中的多个暂存位321沿订单完成系统的Y轴向和Z轴向延伸排列,一个货架32中的多个暂存位321沿订单完成系统的X轴向和Z轴向延伸排列,三个货架32分别位于拣货工作区域31的三个侧边处并使得拣货工作区域31具有一个料车停靠位33,三个货架32中的每一个都可以与一个可移动设备配设,这使得工作站台30能够与三个可移动设备交互,这减少了拣货员等待可移动设备将拣出的货物搬运至暂存位321内的时间甚至消除了拣货员的等待时间,提高了工作站台的工作效率。
可以理解,在其他的实施方式中,沿直线设置的货架32的数量也可以是两个,两个沿直线设置的货架32能够允许两个可移动设备独立工作,也提高了工作站台30的工作效率。
当然,货架32也可以设置为一个,货架32可以设置为“U”形或“C”形,也即货架32围住拣货工作区域31的三个侧边,使得货架32可以同时与三个可移动设备交互;货架32也可以设置为“L”形,也即货架32围住拣货工作区域31的两个相邻侧边,此时料车停靠位33为两个,货架32可以同时与两个可移动设备交互。此外,货架32也可以设置为直线形,此时货架32的长度适当延长,以允许多个可移动设备独立地同时工作。
由于货架32的设置,可移动设备可以按照多个角度停靠或离开拣货工作区域31设置有货架32的侧边处,可移动设备与工作站台30交互时的姿态限制具有更多的活动程度,也即可移动设备能够以多角度进出工作站台30,可移动设备可以以多个角度与工作站台30交互并执行自身的搬运工作。
货架32的总高度优选地与拣货员的身高匹配,以便于拣货员执行工作操作。每一个货架32上设置多个暂存位321,部分的暂存位321内暂时存储着由可移动设备搬运来的待拣货员确认的货物,余下部分的暂存位321空置,以待可移动设备继续将需要确认订单信息的货物搬运并存储。
如果货架32具有三层及三层以上的层数,与拣货员临近的便于拣货员执行工作操作的第一层与第二层可以作为拣货员的直接工作区域,而与拣货员相对较远的其他层可以作为二级缓冲区域。当直接工作区域内的暂存位321空置时,可移动设备可以将已经存放于二级缓冲区域内的暂存位321的待确认货物搬运至货架32的直接工作区域内,二级缓冲区域作为待确认货物搬运至直接工作区域时的缓冲,能够随时向直接工作区域内不断地提供待确认的货物,从而减少了拣货员寻找待确认货物的时间,提高了拣货效率。
当工作站台30为拣货站时,工作站台30还可以设置拣货提示设备(图未示),所述拣货提示设备用以提示需要拣货员对照确认的订单信息。拣货员获取拣货提示设备提示的订单信息,并对照该订单信息确认货架32上的待检货物是否符合订单信息的要求,若该订单信息与货物相符,拣货员会将已经确认完毕的货物搬运至料车停靠位33处,以供订单完成 系统将对照确认后的货物搬运至订单完成区打包送出。
请一并参阅图5及图6,图5为本发明一个实施方式中料车331的结构示意图,图6为图5所示料车331与驱动料车331运动的可移动装置332对接后的结构示意图,料车停靠位33处停靠有用以承载拣货员确认完毕无误后货物的料车331,料车331由可移动装置332驱动运动,料车331将拣货员确认完毕无误后的货物搬运至订单完成系统中的订单完成区,从而供订单完成区将货物打包封装。
料车331可以设置一层,也可以设置多层。本实施方式中,料车331优选为3层。
拣货提示设备可以包括显示器(图未示),该显示器用以显示供拣货员确认的订单信息,所述订单信息包括但不限于货物名称、货物的数量以及货物的图片。货物名称为当前订单中所有货物的名称,货物的数量为每一种货物所对应的个数,货物的图片为每一种货物所对应的图片。
拣货员对照显示器上显示的订单信息逐个确认暂存位321内的货物是否符合订单的要求,若货物符合订单的要求,那么可移动装置332会在订单完成系统的控制中心的信息指引下驱动承载着货物的料车331移动至订单完成系统的订单完成区,以供货物打包封装。
拣货提示设备还可以包括指示灯以控制指示灯显示状态的按钮,指示灯用以指示货物的检测对照状态,指示灯的不同显示状态指示了拣货员对货物的不同检测状态,按钮用以供拣货员在对照确认后切换指示灯的显示状态,从而改变指示灯对货物检测状态的标识。
例如,指示灯可以在按钮的切换作用下在闪烁与常亮之间变换,当货物需要拣货员对照订单信息进行确认时,指示灯可以闪烁;而当拣货员完成对货物的对照确认后,拣货员操作按钮将指示灯的显示状态切换为常亮,从而指标该暂存位321处的货物已经完成确认。
当然,指示灯的显示状态并不限于仅为上述的闪烁与常亮,还可以包括常暗以及颜色的不同设置等,例如:每种指示灯的颜色可以代表空闲、当前要拣、当前要补、补货中、错误等多种状态;指示灯还可以通过颜色、亮度、明灭或者闪烁频率等其他方式区别所述第一状态与所述第二状态,完成订单确认以及等待订单确认的状态只需要在上述方式中择一即可,只要用以显示订单确认完毕的指示灯的第一状态以及显示订单待确认的指示灯的第二状态不同即可。
上述的按钮还有操作可移动设备将拣货员已经确认完毕后的货物搬运至料车331处的功能,当拣货员按下按钮操作当前暂存位321内的货物符合订单信息的要求后,可移动设备可以在控制中心的指引下降当前暂存位321内符合订单信息的货物搬运至料车331处。
工作站台30还可以包括操作终端(图未示),该操作终端可以为扫码设备,拣货员可以通过该扫码设备扫描货物上的条码,从而协助拣货员确认货物的种类时候正确;当货物确认无误后,拣货员还可以通过该扫码设备扫描贴设于货物包装箱上的订单,从而实现对订单信息的录入。
可以理解,在其他的实施方式中,操作终端还可以是除扫码设备之外的其他装置。

步骤2:将料车运输至高频拣货区拣货。即将订单信息中的货物装入对应的包装箱中。
步骤3:运输货物的可移动设备在低频拣货区拣货,并将货物送至中间协作区的工作站台,该工作站台具体为拣 货站。该过程与步骤2同步进行。

更具体地,校正偏差量可以分别在不同的情况下进行。其中,可以在抓取机构拿取托盘时检测到需要校正偏差量,将托盘放入自身存储单元时,校正角度偏差以及Y轴偏差;之后抓取机构再将自身存储单元的托盘放入货架上时,校正X轴偏差。也可以为在抓取机构将自身存储单元的托盘放入货架上时,同时校准X轴偏差、Y轴偏差以及角度偏差。也可以为抓取机构拿取托盘时检测到需要校正偏差量,再重新将托盘放入当前货架时,同时校准X轴偏差、Y轴偏差以及角度偏差。也可以为抓取机构拿取托盘时检测到需要校正偏差量,将可移动设备移动到指定位置,同时校准X轴偏差、Y轴偏差以及角度偏差。
更具体地,可移动设备获取货架上的货物,首先叉齿位于初始位置,叉齿在竖直方向移动至货物向相应高度,然后叉齿向货架方向伸出,拿取货物。在拿取到货物之后叉齿收缩,在下降相应高度回到初始位置。在初始位置叉齿旋转90°之后,将货物放至自身存储单元。在整个过程中,叉齿拿取到货物回到初始位置时,获取托盘定位标识的图像,将定位标识的图像与标准图像进行比较,得到抓取机构与托盘之间的偏差量。
上述托盘偏差校正方法在具体实施时,例如可移动设备控制抓取机构拿取托盘,此时获取定位标识的图像相对于标准图像在X轴向右偏移了5mm,也就是X轴偏差为向右偏移5mm。当可移动设备需要移动至坐标(50,70,0)的位置将货物放进(51,70,5)位置时,可移动设备在移动的过程中实时的获取当前的坐标信息,判断当前可移动设备的坐标信息是否为(50,70,0),若当前可移动设备的坐标信息为(50,70,0)时,控制可移动设备在当前位置相对于放货的位置向左移动5mm,调整X轴偏差,调整之后,控制叉齿将货物放置在(51,70,5)的货架位置。
例如可移动设备控制抓取机构拿取托盘,此时获取定位标识的图像相对于标准图像在Y轴向上偏移了4mm,也即是Y轴偏差为向上偏移4mm。当可移动设备需要当可移动设备需要移动至坐标(50,70,0)的位置将货物放进(51,70,5)位置时,可移动设备在移动的过程中实时的获取当前的坐标信息,判断当前可移动设备的坐标信息是否为(50,70,0),若当前可移动设备的坐标信息为(50,70,0)时,可移动设备控制叉齿旋转,升高,再伸出至货架(51,70,5)位置,控制叉齿收缩4mm,调整Y轴偏差,调整之后,控制叉齿将货物放置在(51,70,5)的货架位置。
例如可移动设备控制抓取机构拿取托盘,此时获取定位标识的图像相对于标准图像在自旋方向上向右偏移了1°,也就是在顺时针方向偏移了1°。当可移动设备向自身存储单元伸出时,叉齿在逆时针方向旋转1°,调整角度偏差,再将货物移动至自身存储单元。上述托盘偏差校正方法以及装置,通过在抓取机构拿取托盘时,获取抓取机构与托盘之间的偏差量,根据偏差量,通过调整移动距离、抓取机构伸缩距离以及抓取机构旋转角度校正偏差量。从而校正可移动设备将托盘放置在货架上时放置位置的偏差,进一步的保证整个系统托盘移动的准确性。
