为了保证控制组件在获取到目标搬运车12的运动参数后,有足够的时间根据该运动参数调整货物支撑台011的的传送速度,该每个测速传感器06与货物出口B的距离应该大于第一距离阈值。其中,该第一距离阈值可以大于或等于加速传输带J1在传送方向上的长度L。并且,该第一距离阈值小于该第二距离阈值。也即是,搬运车12在运行通道10上移动时,需要先经过搬运车识别传感器05,然后再依次经过每个测速传感器06。
示例的,如图5所示,该多个测速传感器06可以设置在运行通道10的一侧,且该多个测速传感器06距货物出口B的距离小于搬运车识别传感器05距 货物出口B的距离。

示例的,假设检测组件包括称重器、尺寸检测器和扫码器,该检测组件检测到某货物的特征参数包括:重量为6千克,长20厘米、宽30厘米,配送标识为A,则控制组件获取到的该货物的特征参数即为:货物的重量6千克,长20厘米、宽30厘米,配送标识指示的目的地为A。
步骤702、根据预先存储的至少一个搬运车的运输参数,检测是否存在运输参数与特征参数匹配的目标搬运车。
在本申请实施例中,该控制组件中可以预先存储有上件控制系统中至少一个搬运车的运输参数,该运输参数可以包括用于指示搬运车的承载能力和/或用于指示搬运车的搬运目的地的参数。例如,该搬运车的运输参数可以包括搬运车的可承载的重量范围、可承载的尺寸范围以及搬运目的地中的至少一种。当控制组件获取到待上件的货物的特征参数时,可以先检测上件控制系统中是否存在运输参数与检测组件检测到的特征参数匹配的目标搬运车。
需要说明的是,控制组件获取到的运输参数所包括的参数类型与待上件货物的特征参数所包括的参数类型应当相对应。例如,当待上件的货物的特征参数包括重量和尺寸时,该运输参数应当至少包括搬运车的可承载的重量范围和可承载的尺寸范围。
还需要说明的是,当特征参数包括配送标识时,运输参数与特征参数匹配可以是指,运输参数中的搬运目的地与该配送标识指示的目的地为同一地点。当特征参数包括重量或尺寸时,运输参数与特征参数匹配可以是指,特征参数的参数值处于对应的运输参数的数值范围之内。
在本申请实施例中,控制组件在检测搬运车的运输参数与待上件货物的特征参数是否匹配时,需要检测待上件货物的每一项特征参数是否与搬运车对应的运输参数相匹配。若检测到某个搬运车的各项特征参数均与对应的运输参数相匹配,则控制组件可以确定上件控制系统中存在能够有效承载该待上件的货物的目标搬运车,并可以执行步骤703。若检测出某个搬运车有一项特征参数不匹配,则控制组件可以确定该搬运车不能有效承载该货物。若控制组件检测到上件控制系统中每个搬运车的运输参数均与待上件货物的特征参数不匹配,则可以确定该上件控制系统中不存在能够有效承载待上件货物的目标搬运车,并可以执行步骤703。
示例的,假设上件控制系统中共有3个搬运车在运行通道上移动,每个搬运车对应的运输参数可以如表1所示。请参考表1,标识为a的搬运车的运输参数包括:可承载的重量范围为1千克至11千克,可承载的尺寸范围为长20至40厘米、宽10至40厘米,搬运目的地为B。
表1
Figure PCTCN2018103641-appb-000001
假设检测组件检测到某个货物的特征参数包括:重量10千克,长50厘米、宽50厘米,配送标识指示的目的地为A。控制组件将该货物的特征参数与上述表1所示的三个搬运车的运输参数依次进行对比,可以检测出该三个搬运车中每个搬运车的运输参数与该货物的特征参数都不能完全匹配,则控制组件可以确定该上件控制系统中不存在能够有效承载该货物的目标搬运车,从而可以执行步骤703。当控制组件检测到运输参数与特征参数匹配的目标搬运车时,可以执行步骤704。
步骤703、发出告警信号。
当控制组件未检测到运输参数与特征参数匹配的目标搬运车时,可以控制告警模块发出告警信号,以提示工作人员将货物搬离,避免影响其他货物的上件,从而有效提高了货物的分拣效率。
或者,该自动导向搬运车的上件装置中还可以设置有分拣臂,该控制组件可以与该分拣臂连接。当控制组件未检测到运输参数与特征参数匹配的目标搬运车时,可以控制该分拣臂直接将货物搬离,实现了货物的自动搬离,从而有效提高了货物的分拣效率。
步骤704、根据特征参数,确定与待上件的货物匹配的目标搬运车。
当控制组件检测到上件控制系统中存在与待上件的货物匹配的目标搬运车时,可以确定该待上件的货物能够有效上件,因此可以根据待上件的货物的特征参数,从在运行通道上移动的搬运车中确定与该待上件的货物匹配的目标搬运车。
图8是本申请实施例提供的一种根据特征参数,确定与待上件的货物匹配的目标搬运车的方法流程图。如图8所示,该控制组件确定目标搬运车的方法可以包括:
步骤7041、获取经过运行通道的第二指定位置的搬运车的标识。
为了保证控制组件在确定目标搬运车之后,有足够的时间获取该目标搬运车的运动参数,并根据该运动参数调整货物支撑台的传送速度,该第二指定位置与货物出口处之间的距离可以大于第二距离阈值,且该第二距离阈值可以大于加速传输带在传送方向上的长度L。例如,当该货物支撑台的延伸方向平行于搬运车的运行通道时,该第二指定位置可以为货物支撑台的货物入口处所在的位置。
在一种可选的实现方式中,搬运车上可以安装有定位模块和通信模块,当搬运车通过定位模块检测到自身位于第二指定位置处时,可以通过通信模块将自身的标识直接发送至控制组件。
在另一种可选的实现方式中,运行通道的第二指定位置处可以设置有搬运车识别传感器,且每个搬运车的车身上标示有自身的标识。搬运车识别传感器可以在检测到有搬运车经过时,获取并识别该搬运车的标识,并向控制组件发送该搬运车的标识。
步骤7042、根据搬运车的标识获取搬运车的运输参数。
在本申请实施例中,控制组件中可以预先存储有搬运车的标识和运输参数的对应关系,控制组件可以根据该获取到的搬运车的标识,从预先存储的对应关系中获取该搬运车的运输参数。
示例的,假设控制组件中存储的搬运车的标识和运输参数的对应关系如上述表1所示。在上述步骤7041中,搬运车在经过第二指定位置时,搬运车识别传感器识别到的搬运车标识为b,即控制组件获取到的经过该第二指定位置的搬运车的标识为b。则控制组件可以根据上述表1所示的对应关系确定标识为b的搬运车的运输参数为:可承载的重量范围为1千克至20千克;可承载的尺寸范围为长10至80厘米、宽10至20厘米;搬运目的地为A。
步骤7043、判断搬运车的运输参数是否与待上件的货物的特征参数匹配。
在本申请实施例中,当控制组件获取到搬运车的运输参数和货物的特征参数后,可以将运输参数中的每一项参数与待上件货物的特征参数的对应项依次进行对比。例如可以检测货物的特征参数中的重量参数值是否在搬运车的可承载重量数值范围之内,货物的尺寸参数值是否在搬运车的可承载尺寸数值范围之内,货物的配送标识所指示的目的地和搬运车的搬运目的地是否相同。
示例的,控制组件可以将待上件货物的特征参数:重量6千克,长20厘米、宽20厘米,配送标识指示的目的地A中的每一项分别与搬运车b对应的运输参数进行对比。
在本申请实施例中,如图5所示,该货物支撑台011可以包括检测传输带J3、缓存传输带J2和加速传输带J1等多个传输带。控制组件在确定目标搬运车时,应当根据位于加速传输带J1上的待上件货物的特征参数进行判断。也即是,控制组件需要判断搬运车的运输参数是否与加速传输带J1上停留的待上件的货物的特征参数匹配。
步骤7044、当搬运车的运输参数与待上件的货物的特征参数匹配时,确定搬运车为目标搬运车。
示例的,由于搬运车b的运输参数中的每一项参数和待上件货物的特征参数的对应项参数均匹配,因此控制组件可以确定该标识为b的搬运车为目标搬运车。
可选的,当控制组件检测到该搬运车的运输参数与待上件的货物的特征参数不匹配时,控制组件可以不调整货物支撑台的传送速度,待上件的货物在货 物支撑台上继续等待。当下一个搬运车经过第二指定位置时,控制组件可以再获取其标识,根据表1所示的对应关系中获取该搬运车对应的运输参数,并继续检测该搬运车是否与该待上件的货物匹配。即控制组件可以重复执行上述步骤7041至步骤7044所示的方法,直至确定出与待上件的货物相匹配的目标搬运车。
步骤705、获取在运行通道上移动的目标搬运车的运动参数。
在本申请实施例中,控制组件在确定目标搬运车之后,可以获取该目标搬运车的运动参数,其中,该运动参数可以包括该目标搬运车的移动速度和移动位置。
在一种可选的实现方式中,上件控制系统中的每个搬运车上可以设置有定位传感器、速度传感器和通信模块等。目标搬运车中的通信模块可以将定位传感器检测到的目标搬运车的移动位置,以及速度传感器检测到的目标搬运车的移动速度上报至控制组件。即控制组件可以获取在运行通道上移动的目标搬运车自动上报的运动参数。
在另一种可选的实现方式中,控制组件可以通过多个测速传感器实时获取目标搬运车在经过第二指定位置之后的移动速度。并且,该控制组件中可以预先存储有测速传感器标识和设置位置的对应关系,该控制组件可以根据上报移动速度的测速传感器的标识,确定该测速传感器的设置位置,进而确定目标搬运车的移动位置。
示例的,如图5所示,假设加速传输带J1在传送方向上的长度L为10米(m)米,距离货物支撑台011的货物出口B处的14m、16m、18m处依次设置有三个测速传感器06。控制组件中存储的测速传感器06的设置位置和测速传感器06的标识的对应关系如表2所示。从表2可以看出,设置在距货物支撑台011的货物出口B处的18m处的测速传感器06的标识为S1。
表2
测速传感器的设置位置 测速传感器标识
距货物支撑台011的货物出口B的18m处 S1
距货物支撑台011的货物出口B的16m处 S2
距货物支撑台011的货物出口B的14m处 S3
假设测速传感器S2在目标搬运车经过时,检测到该目标搬运车的移动速度 为:2米每秒(m/s),并将该检测到的移动速度发送至控制组件。则控制组件接收到该测速传感器S2发送的移动速度后,可以根据表2所示的对应关系,确定目标搬运车的移动位置为:距货物支撑台011的货物出口B处的16m处。
步骤706、根据目标搬运车的运动参数,控制上件传输台中的货物支撑台带动待上件的货物移动,并在目标搬运车移动到运行通道上与货物支撑台的货物出口对应位置时,将待上件的货物通过货物出口传送至目标搬运车。
在本申请实施例中,控制组件可以根据目标搬运车的运动参数,调整货物支撑台的传送速度。当货物支撑台按照调整后的传送速度运行时,在目标搬运车移动到运行通道上与货物出口处对应的位置时,该货物支撑台带动待上件的货物同步移动至货物出口处,并将货物通过该货物出口传送至搬运车上,从而实现了货物的不停车上件。
可选的,控制组件所获取到的目标搬运车的运动参数可以包括移动位置和移动速度。图9是本申请实施例提供的一种根据目标搬运车的运动参数,控制货物支撑台的传送速度的方法流程图,如图9所示,该方法可以包括:
步骤7061、当检测到目标搬运车移动至运行通道的第一指定位置时,根据该目标搬运车的移动速度,计算该目标搬运车移动至运行通道上与货物出口对应位置所需的移动时长。
在本申请实施例中,该第一指定位置与货物出口处之间的距离可以大于第一距离阈值,该第一距离阈值可以大于或等于加速传输带在传送方向上的长度。并且,该第一距离阈值可以小于该第二距离阈值。例如,该第一指定位置可以为运行通道上与加速传输带的入口对应的位置。
假设该第一指定位置距货物出口的距离为D,控制组件获取到的目标搬运车的移动速度为V,则控制组件即可以根据该移动速度V,计算得到目标搬运车移动至货物出口处所需的移动时长T为:T=D/V。
示例的,假设该第一指定位置距离货物支撑台的货物出口B处的距离D为14m。位于该第一指定位置处的测速传感器S3在目标搬运车经过时,检测到的目标搬运车的移动速度V为2m/s。则该测速传感器S3向控制组件上报该移动速度后,控制组件可以根据上述表2所示的对应关系,确定该目标搬运车移动至该第一指定位置。此时控制组件可以根据该目标搬运车当前的移动速度V和移动位置,计算得到目标搬运车移动至货物出口B处所需的移动时长T为: T=D/V=14/2=7秒(s)。
步骤7062、根据该移动速度和该移动时长,调整货物支撑台的传送速度。
该调整后的货物支撑台的传送速度在经过移动时长之后可以与目标搬运车的移动速度相等。从而使得待上件的货物到达货物出口处时,该待上件的货物的移动速度与该目标搬运车的移动速度相等,以避免将该待上件的货物传送至目标搬运车上后,由于两者速度不同而出现货物掉落的情况。
假设控制组件获取到的目标搬运车的移动速度为V,计算得到的移动时长为T,则控制组件可以根据该移动速度V和移动时长T确定货物支撑台的加速度a1,并控制该货物支撑台以该加速度a1加速移动时长T,从而实现对货物支撑台的传送速度的调整。其中,该加速度a1可以满足:a1=(V-V0)/T,V0是指货物支撑台的初始速度。例如,当该货物支撑台包括加速传输带时,V0可以是指该加速传输带的初始速度。
示例的,假设控制组件获取到的目标搬运车的移动速度V为2m/s,移动时长T为7s,当前待上件的货物停留在货物支撑台的加速传输带上,且该加速传输带处于静止状态,即V0为0。则控制组件可以基于该移动速度V和移动时长T确定加速传输带的加速度a1满足:a1=(V-V0)/T=(2-0)/7≈0.28m 2/s,进而可以控制该加速传输带的以0.28m 2/s的加速度加速转动7s,使得加速传输带以及其承载的待上件的货物在7秒后的速度达到2m/s。由此可以保证目标搬运车在7秒后移动到该货物出口时,货物支撑台能够将待上件货物准确的上件至该目标搬运车上。由于上件时,该待上件的货物的移动速度和该目标搬运车的移动速度均为2m/s,因此可以避免货物掉落的情况发生。
可选的,在上述步骤7061中,当控制组件检测到目标搬运车移动至第一指定位置时,还可以确定待上件的货物与货物出口处之间的间隔距离。
相应的,在上述步骤7062中,控制组件在调整货物支撑台的传送速度时,还可以根据该移动时长和间隔距离进行调整,使得货物支撑台按照调整后的传送速度运行移动时长之后,带动待上件的货物移动的距离与间隔距离相等。
假设控制组件计算到目标搬运车移动至货物出口的移动时长为T,目标搬运车在移动至第一指定位置时,待上件的货物与货物出口之间的间隔距离为S。则为了保证货物支撑台在该移动时长T之后的传送速度与目标搬运车的移动速度V相等,且在该移动时长T内带动待上件的货物移动的距离为S,则控制组件可 以分别确定该货物支撑台在该移动时长T内以加速度a2加速转动的第一时长t1以及匀速转动的第二时长t2,该第一时长t1和第二时长t2可以满足:
t1+t2=T       公式(1);
该加速度a2可以满足:a2=(V-V0)/t2     公式(2);
并且,该加速度a2、第一时长t1以及第二时长t2还可以满足:
S=V0×t1+(a2×t1 2)/2+V×t2    公式(3)。
示例的,假设控制组件获取到的目标搬运车的移动速度V为2m/s,目标搬运车移动至货物出口处所需的移动时长T为7s,且此时待上件的货物停留在货物支撑台的加速传输带上,该待上件的货物与货物出口之间的间隔距离为8m。控制组件根据上述公式(1)至公式(3)可以计算得到a2为1/3m 2/s、t1为6s,t2为1s,则控制组件可以控制该加速传输带以加速度1/3m 2/s加速转动6s,然后再以速度2m/s匀速转动1s。从而可以保证在经过7秒之后,加速传输带的移动速度为2m/s,且加速传输带可以带动待上件的货物移动到该货物出口,由此可以将待上件的货物准确的上件至该目标搬运车上。
可选的,参考图3,该货物支撑台011可以包括加速传输带J1,因此,上述步骤706所示的调整货物支撑台的传送速度的过程实际可以为调整该加速传输带J1的传送速度的过程。
可选的,参考图4,该货物支撑台011还可以包括与加速传输带J1相邻的邻接传输带J2。图10是本申请实施例提供的又一种上件装置的控制方法的流程图,如图10所示,该控制方法还可以包括:
步骤801、检测邻接传输带和加速传输带中每个传输带上是否停留有待上件的货物。
当控制组件检测到邻接传输带上停留有待上件的货物,而加速传输带上未停留待上件的货物时,可以执行步骤802;否则,可以执行步骤803。
在本申请实施例中,如图5所示,每个传输带任一侧可以设置有货物识别传感器04。控制组件可以通过该货物识别传感器04检测邻接传输带J2和加速传输带J1中的每个传输带上是否停留有待上件的货物。
步骤802、控制邻接传输带向加速传输带传送待上件的货物。
控制组件在检测到邻接传输带上停留有待上件的货物,而加速传输带J1上未停留有待上件的货物13时,可以控制邻接传输带J2将待上件的货物13传送 至加速传输带J1。操作人员进而可以将下一个待上件的货物13放置在货物支撑台011的邻接传输带上,以便控制组件可以继续对下一个待上件的货物13进行特征参数的检测,从而保证特征参数检测和货物上件两个步骤能够同时执行,提高了货物的上件效率。
步骤803、控制邻接传输带保持静止状态。
当控制组件检测到邻接传输带J2上未停留有货物,或者加速传输带J1上停留有待上件的货物时,可以控制该邻接传输带J2保持静止状态。并且,当该加速传输带J1上未停留有待上件的货物13时,控制组件还可以控制该加速传输带J1也保持静止状态。
作为一种可选的实现方式,如图5所示,该邻接传输带J2可以为缓存传输带时,该货物支撑台011还可以包括检测传输带J3。该检测传输带J3、缓存传输带J2和该加速传输带J1可以依次相邻设置,并且该检测传输带J3的入口可以为货物入口B。
在上述步骤801中,控制组件可以检测该检测传输带、缓存传输带和加速传输带中的每个传输带上是否停留有待上件的货物。
相应的,该上件装置的控制方法还可以包括:当检测到检测传输带上停留有待上件的货物,而缓存传输带上未停留待上件的货物时,控制检测传输带向缓存传送带传送待上件的货物。
控制该检测传输带将待上件的货物传送至该缓存传输带,可以使得检测传输带能够继续对下一个待上件的货物进行上件检测,提高了货物的上件效率。
可选的,该上件装置中的检测组件可以设置在该检测传输带的任一侧,因此当控制组件检测到检测传输带上停留有待上件的货物时,还可以控制检测传输带将待上件的货物传送至检测组件的检测区域,以便检测组件能够及时获取待上件的货物的特征参数,并将该检测到的特征参数发送至控制组件。控制组件根据该特征参数检测到与待上件的货物匹配的目标搬运车后,可以继续控制该检测传输带转动,以将该待上件的货物传送至缓存传输带或者加速传输带。可选的,当控制组件检测到运行通道上不存在于与待上件的货物的特征参数匹配的目标搬运车时,还可以控制该检测传输带处于静止状态,以便操作人员将该待上件的货物搬离,或者控制分拣臂将该待上件的货物搬离。
可选的,图11是本申请实施例提供的再一种上件装置的控制方法的流程图, 如图11所示,该控制方法可以包括:
步骤901、获取在运行通道上移动的搬运车的运动参数。

步骤902、当检测到搬运车移动至运行通道的第一指定位置时,根据该搬运车的移动速度,计算该搬运车移动至运行通道上与货物出口对应位置所需的移动时长。
当控制组件检测到某个搬运车移动至第一指定位置时,可以根据其移动速度计算其移动至运行通道上与货物出口对应位置所需的移动时长,该计算移动时长的过程可以参考上述步骤7061,对此不再赘述。
步骤903、根据该移动速度和该移动时长,调整货物支撑台的传送速度。
其中,根据移动时长和移动速度调整货物支撑台的传送速度的过程可以参考上述步骤7062,对此不再赘述。
可选的,本申请实施例提供的上件装置的控制方法的步骤的先后顺序可以进行适当调整,步骤也可以根据情况进行相应增减。例如上述步骤701至704可以根据情况进行删除,即上件控制系统中的每个搬运车均可以承载所有待上件的获取,因此控制组件可以无需确定与待上件的获取匹配的目标搬运车。任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化的方法,都应涵盖在发明的保护范围之内,因此不再赘述。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的上件装置的控制方法,控制组件可以根据搬运车的运动参数来调整货物支撑台带动待上件的货物移动的移动速度,从而使得当搬运车移动至货物出口处时,该货物支撑台能够将货物从货物入口处传送到货物出口处,并将货物通过该货物出口传送至搬运车上,从而实现了货物的自动上件,有效提高了货物上件的效率。

其中,如图5所示,每个上件装置中的货物支撑台011的货物出口B位于一条运行通道10的上方,且该货物支撑台011的货物出口B处的高度应该高于每个搬运车12的货物承载面,从而使得货物13在被传送至货物出口B处时,能够有效上件至目标搬运车12上。
可选的,该上件控制系统还可以包括:控制终端,且上件装置M中的控制组件可以与该控制终端建立有通信连接。该控制终端可以控制该控制组件驱动驱动器运转,从而驱动货物支撑台011向前运转,实现货物的上件。相应的,上述图6、图7、图10或图11所示的上件装置的控制方法还可以应用于该控制终端中。可选的,图12所示的上件控制装置也可以设置在该控制终端中。
