在本公开自动调节智能货架一些实施例中,如图1所示,自动调节智能货架包括货架外框1和控制单元2,货架外框1内设有可分别独立地沿着交叉的第一方向和第二方向移动的第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3,控制单元2能够控制第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3分别沿着第一方向移动和第二方向移动,以形成用于对应存放不同规格货物的不同尺寸的存储空间。
在该实施例中,通过在货架外框1内设置可分别独立地沿着交叉的第一方向和第二方向移动的第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3,控制单元2能够控制第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3分别沿着第一方向移动和第二方向移动,利用可动态调整的货架层,实现对不同规格货物在同一货架中的最大量存储,有效提高货架存储能力。其中,如图1所示,第一移动货架层4和/或第二移动货架层3为一个或至少两个,这样可以根据实际需要将货架划分成多个储存货物的网格区域。第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3均可选地由多根杆件形成,由杆件形成的货架层可以避免第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3移动时相互干涉,确保移动稳定性。
在该实施例中,只要第一方向和第二方向呈交叉设置即可实现可动态调整的货架层,可选地,如图1所示,第一方向为水平方向,第二方向为竖直方向,第一移动货架层4呈竖直设置,第二移动货架层3呈水平设置,这样利于货物的平稳放置。
对于如何实现第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3的移动,在一些实施例中,如图1所示,货架外框1内侧设有用于供第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3移动的移动导轨。这样的结构形式结构简单且易于实现,具有较高的可实施性。而在第一 移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3均由多根杆件形成的实施例中,为了使得结构简单,移动稳定,如图1所示,多根杆件的两端优选地对接货架外框1的移动导轨。
为了进一步提高第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3的移动稳定性能,如图1所示,货架外框1对应于第一移动货架层4的两侧设有用于供第二移动货架层3移动的第二导轨5,货架外框1对应于第二移动货架层3的两侧设有用于供第一移动货架层4移动的第一导轨6。
为了便于控制单元2控制第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3的移动距离来形成不同尺寸的存储空间,在一些实施例中,如图1所示,第一移动货架层4设有第一距离探测器8,用于检测第一移动货架层4与货物的距离并反馈给控制单元2,第二移动货架层3设有第二距离探测器7,用于检测第二移动货架层3与货物的距离并反馈给控制单元2。进一步地,第一距离探测器8还用于检测第一移动货架层4与货架外框1的距离并反馈给控制单元2,第二距离探测器7还用于检测第二移动货架层3与货架外框1距离并反馈给控制单元2。这样控制单元2可以根据第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3相对于货架外框1的距离来获知每一个货物的准确位置,为货物的快速存取提供方便。
因每一个货架的移动距离都记录在控制单元2中,所以控制单元2可以获知每一件货物的具体位置,这样就完成了动态调整的货物存储,同时获得了每一个货物精准位置,服务于无人物流体系中的快速存取。
对应地,本公开还提供了一种上述自动调节智能货架的货物存储方法,结合图2所示,该方法包括:
判断是否有合适的已分配区域,若是,则在已分配区域放货;若否,则在未分配区域放货。
在该方法中,通过优先在已分配区域内放货,如果在已分配区域内无法放货,则再在未分配区域放货,这样可以提高货架每个区域的利用率。其中,结合图1所示,未分配区域位于已分配区域的对角线上,其不受已分配区域的长宽尺寸限制,可以自由地放置新的货物。
具体地或可选地,判断是否有合适的已分配区域的标准为:若已分配区域的尺寸大于货物的尺寸且尺寸差大于预设合格距离,则判断为是,反之,则判定为否。这样可以确保货物被安全地放置,避免空间限制造成对货物的损害。具体地或可选地,预设合格距离为20cm。
在存储过程中,上述货物存储方法还包括在已分配区域放货后的判断执行步骤:若货架已满,则完成装货,若货架未满,则返回判断是否有合适的已分配区域。
上述货物存储方法还可选地包括在未分配区域放货后的移动步骤:控制单元2控制第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3分别沿着第一方向移动和第二方向移动,直至第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3移动到距离货物预设距离的位置处。将第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3移动至合适的距离可以形成合适的储存区域,进一步地提高空间利用率。具体地或优选地,预设距离为10cm。
在存储过程中,上述货物存储方法还包括在移动步骤后的判断执行步骤:若货架已满,则完成装货,若货架未满,则返回判断是否有合适的已分配区域。
下面以图1所示的实施例为例结合本公开货物存储方法来说明货物存储过程如下:
货架初始状态为第二移动货架层3堆积在最上层,第一移动货架层4堆积在最右侧。向货架上放置货物时从左下角开始,当第一个货物放置完成后,控制单元2控制第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3开始移动,货架层的第一距离探测器8和第二距离探测器7开始工作,当探测到距离货物10cm时,控制单元2记录第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3的移动距离,完成第一个货物的放置。
第二个货物开始根据货物的大小判断放置区域,如果长度或宽度能够放置在第一个货物形成的横纵量列(即已分配区域)中,则放置,否则放在对角线上的为划定区域(即未分配区域)内,同第一个货物一样,控制单元2控制第一移动货架层4和第二移动货架层3开始移动,货架层的第一距离探测器8和第二距离探测器7开始工作并记录移动距离。
至此,已经形成了待分割区域和不同大小的已分割区域,以后每一个货物都根据大小,若货物能匹配到已分割区域(货物长宽不小于已分割区域的20cm,避免大框放小货情况),则优先放置到已分配区域,若未能匹配则放置在未分配区域,同时形成新的未分配区域。当所有区域已全部分割后,按照货物与已分割块的匹配程度依次将已分割区域填满。
本公开还提供了一种无人物流系统,其包括上述的自动调节智能货架。无人物流系统可以适用于无人仓储、无人运输车、无人物流传站车、无人配送站、无人车以及无人机。由于本公开自动调节智能货架能够充分利用货架空间,提高货架的储存能力。相应地,本公开无人物流系统也具有上述的有益技术效果,在此不再赘述。
以上结合的实施例对于本公开的实施方式做出详细说明,但本公开不局限于所描述的实施方式。对于本领域的技术人员而言,在不脱离本公开的原理和实质精神的情况下对这些实施方式进行多种变化、修改、等效替换和变型仍落入在本公开的保护范围之内。
