在本申请实施例中,第二仓储机器人20可以接收第二调度指令,该第二调度指令可以用于指示第一仓储机器人20移动至便携货架30,并且可以将便携货架运送至第二目标位置,其中,第二目标位置可以为预设的不同位置,比如,货物分拣台或者货物中转台等。
在本申请实施例中,所述仓储系统100还可以包括操作台,所述操作台设置有订单墙,所述第一目标位置及所述第二目标位置可以位于所述操作台的预设区域,所述操作台用于将所述第一仓储机器人10运送的货箱中的货物,以及所述第二仓储机器人20运送的便携货架上的货物,分拣至货物相应的订单墙。
在本申请实施例中,第一目标位置及第二目标位置均可以位于货物的处理区域,比如操作台或自动运输设备所在区域。当第一目标位置及第二目标位置位于操作台时,可以存在多个操作台,因此,第一目标位置与第二目标位置可以根据操作台的位置进行确定。其中,每个操作台设置有订单墙,仓储机器人将货物运送至操作台后,将相应的订单对应的货物拣选至订单墙,每一个操作台可以在订单墙设置单独的区域来放置大件的货物或者是挂件货物;或者设置一个单独的操作台专门处理大件的货物,或者在操作台将拣出的货物送入自动运输设备,例如传送带等。每一个仓储机器人可以在其中一个操作台拣选完货物后,再将剩下的货物送入其他操作台进行拣选。当第一目标位置及第二目标位置位于自动运输设备所在区域时,将仓储机器人取出的货物直接送入自动运输设备,在自动运输设备的行径过程中进行分拣。订单墙分配好后,可以用第一仓储机器人将货箱送入相应的打包区或者二次分拣区;或用第二仓储机器人将订单墙送至打包区或者二次分拣区。

当所述货架类型包括组合货架及第一便携货架,所述第一便携货架位于巷道口,所述待取货物类型包括第一普通货物、第二普通货物、大件货物或挂件货物时,当待取货物为第二普通货物、大件货物或者挂件货物时,存储待取放货物的货架为组合货架的第二便携货架,则指示第二仓储机器人进行取货;当待取货物为第一普通货物时,存储待取放货物的货架为组合货架的第二便携货架,则指示第一仓储机器人从所述组合货架的第二固定货架取出存储有待取货物的货箱,并且将货箱存储至位于巷道口的第一便携货架,当需要移动巷道口的第一便携货架时,发 送第二调度指令指示第二仓储机器人将所述第一便携货架移动至指定位置。
当所述货架类型包括第一固定货架和第一便携货架,所述第一便携货架位于巷道口时,发送第一调度指令指示第一仓储机器人移动至货物所在的第一固定货架,从相应的第一固定货架取出货物所在的货箱,并将货箱移动至巷道口的第一便携货架,当需要移动巷道口的第一便携货架时,发送第二调度指令指示第二仓储机器人将所述第一便携货架移动至指定位置,或者,发送第二调度指令指示第二仓储机器人移动至货物所在的第一便携货架,并移动相应的第一便携货架,以实现取货。
当确定仓储机器人后,为进一步提升取放货效率,可以对仓储机器人的行进路线进行规划,下面结合附图10对本申请实施例作进一步说明。
在本申请上述各实施例所述的货物取放方法中,如图10所示,所述方法还可以包括:
S1001、至少根据所述确定的取放货物的仓储机器人及货物存放关联位置信息,确定仓储机器人的行进路线。
在本申请实施例中,当确定了取放货物的仓储机器人之后,为了实现有效取放货,避免各仓储机器人之间的行进冲突,可以根据货物存放关联位置信息,比如,根据货架位置或货箱位置,确定仓储机器人行进路线上距离最短的货架或货箱,同时,在规划好行进路线后,可以根据不同仓储机器人的行进路线,确定是否存在行进冲突,如果存在行进冲突,则可以重新作出调整,比如,调整仓储机器人的行进速度或者改变行进方向等。
需要说明的是,上述方法步骤可以适用于上述各实施例,并分别于步骤S77、S87或S97之后执行。
在本申请上述实施例所述的货物取放方法中,还可以包括:
S1101、根据所述第一仓储机器人和第二仓储机器人的当前位置及工作状态,确定效率最优的仓储机器人及其行进路线。
在本申请实施例中,为进一步合理规划仓储机器人的行进路线,可 以结合仓储机器人的当前位置及工作状态,确定效率最优的仓储机器人及其行进路线,尤其是当仓储系统中同时存在多个同种类型的仓储机器人以及在多个不同位置同时存在同一类型的待取货物时,仓储机器人的当前位置及工作状态用来作为确定效率最优的仓储机器人明显可以提升取货效率,比如,离待取货物位置较低的空闲仓储机器人就可能被优先选择用来作为取货的仓储机器人。
需要说明的是,上述方法步骤可以适用于上述各实施例,可分别于步骤S77、S87、S97或S1001之后执行。
其中,上述实施例的行进路线包括主干道和巷道,所述方法还包括:
S1201、当所述巷道中有仓储机器人行进时,锁定所述巷道为单行道,或者,
S1203、当所述巷道中同时有第一仓储机器人及第二仓储机器人行进时,所述第二仓储机器人进入距离其最近的第一固定货架,以让所述第一仓储机器人正常行进,或者,
S1205、当所述巷道中同时有两个以上同一类型的仓储机器人行进时,根据预设的任务优先级确定行进顺序。
需要说明的是,上述各步骤可以适用于上述各实施例,并分别于步骤S1001、S1101之后执行。
在本申请实施例中,当仓库中的货架混合部署或者不分区域部署时,第一仓储机器人和第二仓储机器人可以先通过主干道进入巷道,从巷道行进至目标货架。或者第二仓储机器人可以直接从货架底部走最优路径进入目标货架位置进行取货;取货后再由巷道进入主干道将货物送至相应的处理区域。当某一机器人进入巷道后,可以不让其他机器人进入该巷道,以避免拥堵;也可以不锁定该巷道,其他机器人也可以进入,如果允许其他机器人进入,则可以优先进行行进路线避障设置,比如,当在巷道中第二仓储机器人与第一仓储机器人相遇后,第二仓储机器人可以优先进入最近的固定货架下方躲避,让出路径,避免碰撞。某一机器人进入巷道后,可以将巷道变为单行道,以避免拥堵。
在本申请实施例中,当第一仓储机器人路径在巷道内且与第二仓储 机器人的路径有重叠时,两种机器人路径同向则一起前进,第二仓储机器人路径与巷道垂直时,可先于固定货架正下方等待第一仓储机器人路过,以避免碰撞。
在本申请实施例中,当在巷道中两个第二仓储机器人相遇时,路径同向则一起前进,否则可以对这两个第二仓储机器人的任务优先级、或者可以躲避的位置进行考虑,让其中一个第二机器人躲避至货架下方。
需要说明的是,由于上述货物取放方法实施例与智能仓储系统基于相同的发明构思,因此,上述智能仓储系统实施例的相应内容以及有益效果同样适用于取放货方法实施例,此处不再详述。
本申请实施例,通过结合货物存放关联信息、仓储机器人的当前位置及工作状态确定仓储机器人的行进路线,进一步提升了取放货效率,同时,对于行进线路中存在行进冲突时,进行避障处理,使得取放货更为科学与合理。
