具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例对本申请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用于解释相关发明，而非对该发明的限定。另外还需要说明的是，为了便于描述，附图中仅示出了与有关发明相关的部分。
需要说明的是，在不冲突的情况下，本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。下面将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本申请。
请参考图1，图1是根据本申请的货物传输系统的一个俯视示意图100。
如图1所示，货物传输系统可以包括输入传输轨道12和穿梭车13。
货物传输系统用于与货架11进行货物传输。
货架11可以是各种类型的用于存储货物的货架。货架11例如可以设置在物流仓库中。货架11是一种架式结构物，可充分利用仓库空间，扩大仓库存储能力。货架可以有多个货架层。每一个货架层可以包括多个用于存储货物的货物存放区。此外，在每一层货架中，可以设置货物缓存区，用于暂时存储货物。
输入传输轨道12用于向货架11输送货物。输入传输轨道12可以包括输入主传输轨道121和多个输入子传输轨道122。各个输入子传 输轨道122可以与货架11的其中一层相对应。在一些应用场景中，每一个输入子传输轨道122可以与货架11的其中一个货架层一一对应。在另外一些应用场景中，至少两个输入子传输轨道122可以与货架11的同一个货架层对应。任意输入子传输轨道122的一端可以与货架11其中一个货架层的货物缓存区连接，另一端与输入主传输轨道121连接。也就是说，货物可以直接由一个输入子传输轨道122传输到与该输入子传输轨道122连接的货架层的货物缓存区。
穿梭车13可以是各种类型的穿梭车，穿梭车13用于在货架11的其中一个货架层的货物缓存区和货物存放区之间传输货物。对于每一个货架层，穿梭车13可以在该货架层的货物缓存区和货物存放区之间传输货物。在一些应用场景中，每一个货架层可以对应一个穿梭车13，每一个货架层所对应的穿梭车13可以在该货架层的货物缓存区和货物存放区之间进行货物传输。
在本实施例中，输入传输轨道12的输入主传输轨道121可以将货物传递给一个输入子传输轨道122。然后输入子传输轨道122将货物输送到货架11的一个货架层的货物缓存区。穿梭车13再将货物由货物缓存区输送至货物存放区。
本实施例提供的货物传输系统，通过使用输入传输轨道来向各个货架层输送货物，使得向各个货架层输送的多个货物可以同时在输入传输轨道上进行传输，提高了货物传输系统向货架输送货物的效率。此外，在各个货架层设置货物缓存区，穿梭车在各个货架层的货物缓存区以及货物存放区之间传输货物，使得货物传输系统可以连续向同一个货架层输送货物，进一步提高了向货架输送货物的效率。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，在向货架11中存放货物时，每一个货物可以对应一个货物存放区。可以在向输入传输轨道12输送货物之前，为货物分配存储货架层以及货物存放区。在一些应用场景中，可以将存放货物的存储货架层和货物存放区所对应的编码设置在与货物对应的标签中。在货物被放置到输入传输轨道12之前，可以将标签贴附于相应的货物上。这里，标签可以用于标识货物身份及预先指定的与货物对应的货架层以及货物存放区。标签可以是条形码形式 的标签，还可以是二维码形式的标签，此处不做限定。
在一些可选的实现方式中，任一输入子传输轨道122与输入主传输轨道121的连接处可以设置有第一标签扫描器(图中未示出)。第一标签扫描器可以用于扫描并识别运行在输入主传输轨道121上的货物的标签，然后根据对标签的识别结果确定与货物对应的货架层，从而确定该货物需要进入的输入子传输轨道122。在这些可选的实现方式中，由于在输入子传输轨道122和输入主传输轨道121的连接处设置扫描并识别货物的标签的第一标签扫描器，对于任意一个指定了存储货架层及货物存放区的货物，第一标签扫描器可以从标签中识别货物对应的存储货架层，并判断该存储货物的货架层是否与自身所对应的货架层相同，若相同，则确定与货物对应的输入子传输轨道122即为与自身连接的输入子传输轨道122。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，任一输入子传输轨道122与输入主传输轨道121的连接处可以设置有分流装置(图中未示出)。分流装置可用于将运行在输入主传输轨道121上的货物分流至与该货物对应的输入子传输轨道122中。
在一些应用场景中，上述第一标签扫描器在确定出输入主传输轨道121上的货物所对应的货架层为与自身连接的输入子传输轨道122所对应的货架层之后，可以触发与自身所连接的输入子传轨道122与输入主传输轨道121连接处设置的上述分流装置将货物由输入主传输轨道121分流至上述输入子传输轨道122。具体地，例如第一标签扫描器在确定了货物所对应的存储货架层与自身连接的输入子传输轨道122所对应的货架层相同之后，可以发出脉冲信号，以触发上述分流装置将货物由输入主传输轨道121分流至与货物所对应的货架层连接的输入子传输轨道122。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，货物传输系统还可以包括输出传输轨道14。输入传输轨道12和输出传输轨道14可以分别设置在货架11在沿由货物缓存区向货物存放区传输货物的方向AA’上的相对两端，如图1所示。
输出传输轨道14用于从货架11输出货物。其中输出传输轨道14 可以包括输出主传输轨道141和多个输出子传输轨道142。各个输出子传输轨道142与货架11的其中一层连接，另一端与输出主传输轨道141连接。这样，当货物需要从货架11输出时，穿梭车13可以将货物从其存放区传输到与其存放区所在的货架层对应的输出子传输轨道142，再由输出子传输轨道142传输到输出主传输轨道141中，最后由输出主传输轨道141传输到预先指定的位置。这样一来，货物传输系统可以在由输入传输轨道12向货架11输送货物的同时，由输出传输轨道14从货架11向外输出货物。增加存放在货架上的货物的流转速度，从而提升货架的利用率。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，穿梭车13可以为双工位穿梭车。穿梭车13的每一个工位可以同时容纳至少一个货物。由于穿梭车13是双工位穿梭车，每一个工位可以同时容纳至少一个货物，使得穿梭车可以同时传输多个货物，有利于提高货物传输系统与货架之间传输货物的传输效率。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，请参考图2，其示出了根据本申请的输入传输轨道/输出传输轨道的一个可选的实现方式的侧视结构示意图200。图2示出的传输轨道可以是输入传输轨道，也可以是输出传轨道。
下面，将以输入传输轨道为例进行说明。
输入传输轨道12的输入主传输轨道121可以包括多个首尾相接的传输段15。各传输段15包括相互连接的第一子传输段151和第二子传输段152。第一子传输段151可以与水平面平行。第二子传输段152可以与水平面呈预定夹角。如图2所示，任意一个传输段15的第一子传输段151可以与一个输入子传输轨道122连接。任意相邻的两个传输段15中的一个传输段15的第一子传输段151与另一传输段的第二子传输152段连接。可以理解的是，若图2所示的传输轨道为输出传输轨道，则任意一个传输段15的第一子传输段151可以与一个输出子传输轨道142连接。
请参考图3，图3是根据本申请的输入传输轨道/输出传输轨道的另一个可选的实现方式的侧视结构示意图300。图3示出的传输轨道 可以是输入传输轨道，也可以是输出传轨道。
下面，将以输入传输轨道为例进行说明。
输入传输轨道12的输入主传输轨道121可以包括多个首尾相接的传输段15。各传输段15包括相互连接的第一子传输段151和第二子传输段152。第一子传输段151可以与水平面平行。第二子传输段152可以与水平面呈预定夹角。如图3所示，任意一个传输段15的第一子传输段151与至少两个输入子传输轨道122连接。任意相邻的两个传输段15中的一个传输段15的第一子传输段151与另一传输段的第二子传输段152连接。可以理解的是，当传输轨道是输出传输轨道时，任意一个传输段15的第一子传输段151可以与至少两个输出子传输轨道142连接。
在一些应用场景中，至少两个输入子传输轨道/输出子传输轨道可以与同一个货架层连接。这样，与同一个货架层连接的至少两个输入子传输轨道/输出子传输轨道可以同时与同一个第一子传输段151连接。在另外一些应用场景中，与不同货架层连接的至少两个输入子传输轨道/输出子传输轨道可以同时与同一个第一子传输段151连接。
在实际应用中，可以根据设置输入传输轨道和输出传输轨道的实际场所空间的大小来选取图2或图3所示的输入传输轨道和/或输出传输轨道。
请参考图4，其示出了根据本申请的货物传输系统的另一个实施例的一个俯视示意图400。
如图4所示，如图4所示，货物传输系统可以包括输入传输轨道12、输出传输轨道14和穿梭车13。
货物传输系统用于与货架11进行货物传输。
输入传输轨道12可以包括输入主传输轨道121和多个输入子传输轨道122。各个输入子传输轨道122可以与货架11的其中一个货架层相对应。任意输入子传输轨道122的一端可以与货架11其中一个货架层的货物缓存区连接，另一端与输入主传输轨道121连接。任一输入子传输轨道122与输入主传输轨道121的连接处可以设置有第一标 签扫描器(图中未示出)和分流装置(图中未示出)。
输出传输轨道14用于从货架11输出货物。其中输出传输轨道14可以包括输出主传轨道141和多个输出子传输轨道142。各个输出子传输轨道142与货架11的其中一个货架层连接，另一端与输出主传输轨道141连接。
穿梭车13可以设置在相邻两个货架11的相同高度的货架层之间设置的轨道内。穿梭车13可以在上述轨道中行驶。
在本实施例中，输入传输轨道12和输出传输轨道14可以分别与同一个货架连接，且输入传输轨道12和输出传输轨道14分别设置在由穿梭车13在相邻两个货架11相同高度的货架层之间的行驶轨迹形成的线段131的相对两端，如图4所示。
在本实施例中，贴附于货物上的标签可以包括表征货物身份以及用于存放货物的存放位置的标识。例如，贴附于货物上的标签可以包括用于指示该货物存放在哪一个货架的哪一个货架层的哪一个货物存放区的标识。当向货架11输送货物时，货物可以被放置在输入主传输轨道121上。货物上可以贴附上述标签。当货物被传输至任一输入子传输轨道122与输入主传输轨道121连接处时，该输入子传输轨道122与输入主传输轨道121连接处的第一标签扫描器可以扫描到该货物上的标签，并从标签中识别与货物对应的货架、货架层、以及货物存放区。当第一标签扫描器根据标签所指示的货架层确定与货物对应的输入子传输轨道122为与自身连接的输入子传输轨道122时，可以触发分流装置将货物从输入主传输轨道121分流至与货物对应的输入子传输轨道122。当货物到达与货物对应的货架层的货物缓存区之后，再由穿梭车13根据货物的标签所指示的存放位置将货物由货物缓存区输送至对应货架的货物存放区。当将货物由货架11向外输出时，穿梭车13可以在一次货物的输送过程中将相邻两个货架11的多个存放区中的不同货物传输到输出传输轨道14进行输出。
本实施例提供的货物传输系统可以同时与相邻两个货架进行货物传输，可以提高货物传输系统的利用率。
请参考图5，其示出了根据本申请的货物传输系统的又一个实施例的另一个俯视示意图500。
与图4所示货物传输系统相同，货物传输系统可以包括输入传输轨道12、输出传输轨道14和穿梭车13。
货物传输系统用于与相邻两个货架11进行货物传输。穿梭车13可以在相邻两个货架的相同高度的货架层之间设置的轨道中行驶。

在实际应用中，可以根据设置输入传输轨道、输出传输轨道以及货架的实际场所空间的大小来选取图4或图5所示的输入传输轨道以及输出传输轨道的设置方式。
请继续参考图6，其示出了根据本申请的货物传输系统的再一个实施例的俯视示意图600。
货物传输系统输入传输轨道22、穿梭车23、输出传输轨道24和服务器26。
货物传输系统可以与货架21进行货物传输。货架21可以包括多个货架层。各个货架层可以包括货物缓存区和多个货物存放区。
服务器26可以是提供各种服务的服务器，例如可以确定货物对应的存储位置，以及调度输入传输轨道和穿梭车将货物传输至货物的对应存储位置。在本实施例中，存储位置可以包括货架层以及货物存放区。
输入传输轨道22，可以向货架输送货物，其中输入传输轨道22包括输入主传输轨道221和多个输入子传输轨道222。各个输入子传输轨道222与货架21的其中一层相对应。任意一个输入子传输轨道222的一端与其中一层的货物缓存区连接，另一端与输入主传输轨道221连接。
穿梭车23，可以在其中一个货架层的货物缓存区和货物存放区之间传输货物。
输出传输轨道24，可以从货架21输出货物。其中输出传输轨道24可以包括输出主传输轨道241和多个输出子传输轨道242。各个输出子传输轨道242与货架21的其中一层相对应。任意一个输出子传输轨道242的一端与货架21其中一层连接，另一端与输出主传输轨道241连接。在本实施例中，输入传输轨道22和输出传输轨道24可以分别设置在货架21沿由货物缓存区向货物存放区传输货物的方向BB’上的相对两端。
在本实施例中，每个货物可以对应一个货物存放区。在一些应用场景中，可以在将货物输入到输入传输轨道之前，上述服务器26可以为货物分配一个存储位置。可以将用于标识货物身份及其存储位置的标签贴附在相应的货物上。在另外一些应用场景中，货物所贴附的标签可以仅用于标识货物的身份。当将货物放置到输入传输轨道22时，由服务器为货物分配存放位置。
在本实施例中，任一输入子传输轨道222与输入主传输轨道221的连接处设置有第二标签扫描器(图中未示出)。第二标签扫描器用于扫描运行在输入主传输轨道上的货物的标签，并将扫描到的标签发送至上述服务器26，以使服务器26根据扫描到的标签判断是否将货物传输至该输入子传输轨道222。也就是说，设置在任意一个输入子传输轨道222与输入主传输轨道221的连接处的第二标签扫描器，将扫描到的运行在输入主传输轨道221上的货物的标签发送给服务器26，由服务器26识别标签上的货物的身份以及货物的存储位置，并判断是否将货物传输至该输入子传输轨道222。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，任一输入子传输轨道222与输入主传输轨道221的连接处可以设置有分流装置(图中未示出)。分流装置用于将运行在输入主传输轨道221上的货物分流至与该货物对应的输入子传输轨道222。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，任意一个货架层的货物缓存区中可以设置有第三标签扫描器(图中未示出)。上述第三标签扫描器 可以用于扫描自输入子传输轨道222传输至该货架层的货物缓存区的货物的标签，并将扫描到的标签所指示的货物存储位置发送至服务器26，以使服务器26根据扫描到的标签来调度该货架层对应的穿梭车23将货物从该货架层的缓存区输送至与货物对应的货物存放区。也就是说，设置在一个货架层的货物缓存区中的第三标签扫描器可以实时扫描自输入子传输轨道222传输至该货架层的货物缓存区的货物的标签，并将扫描到的货物的标签发给服务器26。服务器26根据货物的标签可以识别货物的存储位置。服务器26根据货物的存储位置所指示的货架层调度该货架层所对应的穿梭车23来将货物从缓存区中取出，并传输至货物的存储位置所指示的存放区中。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，输入传输轨道22和输出传输轨道24可以分别与同一个货架21连接，输入传输轨道22和输出传输轨道24且分别设置在由穿梭车23在相邻两个货架21相同高度的货架层之间的行驶轨迹形成的线段的相对两端。在这些可选的实现方式中，贴附于货物之上的标签包括表征货物的身份以及用于存放货物的存放位置的标识。这里的货物的货存放位置的标识例如为用于指示该货物存放在哪一个货架的哪一个货架层的哪个货物存放区的标识。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，输入传输轨道22和输出传输轨道24分别与相邻两个货架21的其中一个货架一一对应连接，且输入传输轨道22和输出传输轨道24设置在由传穿梭车23在相邻两个货架21相同高度的货架层之间的行驶轨迹形成的线段的同一端。在这些可选的实现方式中，贴附于货物之上的标签包括表征货物的身份以及表征用于存放货物的存放位置的标识。这里的货物的货存放位置的标识例如为用于指示该货物存放在哪一个货架的哪一个货架层的哪个货物存放区的标识。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，穿梭车23可以为双工位穿梭车。穿梭车23的每一个工位可以同时容纳至少一个货物。由于穿梭车23可以是双工位穿梭车，每一个工位可以同时容纳至少一个货物，使得穿梭车可以同时传输多个货物，有利于提高货物传输系统的货物传输效率。
与图1所示的货物传输系统相比，本实施例提供的货物传输系统使用服务器来调度向货架输送货物和向货架输出货物。由于服务器控制着货物向货架的输入和输出，可以实时管控货架的各个存放区的状态，有助于加强对货物的管理和提高对货架各存放区的使用率。
请参考图7，图7为根据本申请的货物传输法的一个实施例的流程图700。
如图7所示，上述货物传输方法，包括以下步骤：

当货物在输入主传输轨道上被传输至一条输入子传输轨道附近时，该输入子传输轨道与输入主传输轨道之间的第二标签扫描器可以扫描该货物上的标签。并将扫描到标签发送给上述电子设备。
步骤702，基于标签确定货物对应的预定存储货架层与该条输入子传输轨道是否对应。

步骤704，响应于接收到设置在与任一输入子传输轨道对应货架层的货物缓存区中的第三标签扫描器扫描到的自该输入子传输轨道传输至该货架层的货物缓存区的货物的标签，向该条输入子传输轨道对应的穿梭车发送将货物从货物缓存区传送至与货物对应的货物存放区的指令。
当货物在由任一输入子传输轨道传输至与该输入子传输轨道连接的货架层的货物缓存区时，设置在该货架层的货物缓存区中的第三扫描器可以扫描到该货物的标签，并将该标签发送给上述电子设备。上述电子设备在接收到上述第三扫描器扫描到的货物的标签时，可以向该条输入子传输轨道对应的穿梭车发送指令，以使穿梭车将货物从货物缓存区传送至与该货物对应的货物存放区。
在本实施例的一些可选实现方式中，上述货物传输方法还包括：上述电子设备接收货物的出库指令，其中出库指令包括货物的存储位置，存储位置包括货物所存储的货架层以及货物存放区。上述电子设备向出库指令中的所指示的货架层所对应的穿梭车发送将货物从货物存放区传送至输出传输轨道的与货架层连接的输出子传输轨道的指令。其中输出传输轨道包括输出主传输轨道和多个输出子传输轨道，各个输出子传输轨道与货架的其中一层相对应，任一输出子传输轨道的一端与货架其中一层连接，另一端与输出主传输轨道连接。
