其中,所述传送设备12,用于将待分拣货物传送至所述分拣设备11的目标料盒。为了能够采集上述所述的货物信息,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以在该传送设备12上设置信息采集装置121,使得传送设备12可以通过信息采集装置121采集该待分拣货物的货物信息,如该信息采集装置包括:二维码扫描装置、条形码扫描装置或者RFID(Radio Frequency Identification;射频识别)扫描装置等等,该信息采集器可以安装在如图1中所示的位置,当然,本公开对该具体安装位置不作限定。这样,可以通过信息采集装置获取待分拣货物的货物信息,该货物信息可以包括以下至少一种:待分拣货物属于的目标订单的标识、待分拣货物对应的目标货物标识以及待分拣货物的目标货物体积等信息;在另一种可能的实现方式中,可以通过人工手持信息采集装置的方式对该待分拣货物进行扫描,此时,该信息采集装置还可以为扫描枪等便携式采集装置,上述示例只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。
在本公开实施例中,所述分拣容器移动设备13,用于将待分拣货物对应的目标分拣容器移动至货物接收位置,其中,该目标分拣容器可以通过上述采集的货物信息确定;分拣设备11,用于将所述目标料盒移动至目标分拣容器所在的目标分拣容器移动设备对应的目标投递口处,并将所述待分拣货物经由所述目标投递口投递至所述目标分拣容器。可见,由上述货物处理系统可知,由于分拣容器移动设备13上放置有多个分拣容器131,并且通过分拣容器移动设备13可以实现分拣容器131的移动,这样,通过每个投递口111可以对分拣容器移动设备上的多个分拣容器131进行投递,增加了同一分拣 设备11可投递的分拣容器的数量,能够实现同时对大量订单进行订单合流。
在本公开实施例中,投递口的投递位置可以位于该投递口的下方,此时,本公开中的货物接收位置即为正对该目标投递口处的位置,以使得可以接收到从目标投递口投递的待分拣货物;可选地,投递口设置有导引机构,则该投递口的投递位置可以为对应的导引机构的输出端的下方,此时,本公开中的货物接收位置即为正好可以接收到从目标投递口中投递的待分拣货物的位置,导引机构可以是滑轨或者传送带等,上述示例只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。另外,在一些实施例中,通过在投递口设置导引机构,还可以减小货物落下的冲击力,以避免货物在落入分拣容器时受到较大的冲击力而造成损坏。可选地,在本公开的另一实施例中,分拣容器可以采用弹性材料制成,或者,分拣容器内部底部可以放置气枕或弹力垫,以进一步减小货物落下的冲击力。
其中,本公开中的分拣设备可以带动多个料盒周期性循环转动。具体地,分拣设备可以通过以下两种方式进行转动,以及在相应的转动方式下按照以下方式将待分拣货物经由目标投递口投递至目标分拣容器:
方式一、该分拣设备进行旋转式地转动,此时,该分拣设备为转盘式分拣设备,该转盘式分拣设备包括圆型分拣设备或椭圆型分拣设备等可以进行旋转的分拣设备,如正方型分拣设备或者长方型分拣设备等等。这样,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以在目标料盒底部设置有传送装置,该传送装置将目标料盒上放置的待分拣货物移动至目标分拣容器移动设备对应的目标投递口处。该传送装置可以通过传送带、辊筒、皮带、链条、滚轴或者传送滚轮等实现。若本公开中的投递口设置在分拣设备的靠近平台中央一侧的位置,则可以将目标料盒上的待分拣货物从当前位置移动至靠近平台中央一侧的位置,以实现待分拣货物的投递。若本公开中的投递口设置在分拣设备的平台边缘位置,则可以将目标料盒上的待分拣货物从当前位置移动至平台边缘位置,以实现待分拣货物的投递。另外,货物处理系统中采用圆形分拣设备有利于减小分拣设备占用的空间,另外由于圆形分拣设备可以采用一个驱动机构(如电机)提供动力,有利于降低分拣设备的成本。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,可以在分拣设备的目标料盒内壁上设置有传送装置,该传送装置可以是推杆、伸缩臂或高压气吹装置,从而将目标料 盒上的待分拣货物移动至目标分拣容器移动设备对应的目标投递口处。其中,若本公开中的投递口设置在分拣设备的靠近平台中央一侧的位置,则可以将目标料盒上的待分拣货物从当前位置移动至靠近平台中央一侧位置,以实现待分拣货物的投递。若本公开中的投递口设置在分拣设备的平台边缘位置,则可以将目标料盒上的待分拣货物从当前位置推送至平台边缘位置,以实现待分拣货物的投递。
方式二、该分拣设备进行往复式地转动,此时,该分拣设备为往复式分拣设备,该往复式分拣设备包括L型分拣设备或U型分拣设备等可以进行往复的分拣设备,如直线型分拣设备。这样,在一种可能的实现方式中,若本公开中的投递口设置在分拣设备的外边缘一侧的位置,则可以将目标料盒上的待分拣货物从当前位置移动至外边缘一侧的位置,以实现待分拣货物的投递。若本公开中的投递口设置在分拣设备的内边缘一侧位置,则可以将目标料盒上的待分拣货物从当前位置移动至内边缘一侧的位置,以实现待分拣货物的投递。其中,以U型分拣设备为例,如图2所示,若图2中的粗实线“U”表示U型分拣设备,则图2中的细实线“U”表示内边缘一侧,图2中的虚线“U”表示外边缘一侧。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,可以在分拣设备的目标料盒内壁上设置有传送装置,该传送装置可以是推杆、伸缩臂或高压气吹装置,从而将目标料盒上的待分拣货物移动至目标分拣容器移动设备对应的目标投递口处。其中,若本公开中的投递口设置在分拣设备的外边缘一侧的位置,则可以将目标料盒上的待分拣货物从当前位置移动至外边缘一侧的位置,以实现待分拣货物的投递。若本公开中的投递口设置在分拣设备的内边缘一侧的位置,则可以将目标料盒上的待分拣货物从当前位置推送至内边缘一侧的位置,以实现待分拣货物的投递。上述所述的往复式分拣设备只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。
可选地,本公开中的分拣设备11用于带动多个料盒111周期性循环转动。其中,在一种可能的实现方式中,该分拣设备11的料盒111与投递口112存在对应关系,即料盒A1与投递口P1存在对应关系,料盒A2与投递口P2存在对应关系,…,料盒An与投递口Pn存在对应关系,n为正整数,这样,分拣设备11可以同时带动每个料盒以及与该每个料盒存在对应关系的投递 口进行周期性循环转动;在另一种可能的实现方式中,该分拣设备11的料盒111与投递口112不存在对应关系,这样,分拣设备11在带动多个料盒111周期性循环转动的同时,该分拣设备11的投递口112可以不进行转动,即投递口的位置为固定不变的。
另外,如图3所示,在一种可能的实现方式中,在传送设备12上设置有信息采集装置121,每个传送设备12包括多个传送分支,其中第一传送分支122与所述分拣设备11对接,用于将待分拣货物传送至所述分拣设备11的料盒中,其中,本公开可以直接传送至料盒中。为了提高将货物传送至料盒的传送效率,本公开还可以通过该第一个传送分支122将待分拣货物传送至分拣设备的中央平台上,从而在中央平台上实现同时将多个待分拣货物传送至对应的料盒;第二传送分支123分别与缓冲容器14、下一处理站15、回传设备16或另一分拣设备17连接,用于将待分拣货物传送至缓冲容器14、下一处理站15、回传设备16或另一分拣设备17,即该第二传送分支包括第一子分支、第二子分支、第三子分支以及第四子分支等,该第一子分支用于与缓冲容器14连接,以使得将待分拣货物传送至缓冲容器14,该第二子分支用于与下一处理站15连接,以使得将待分拣货物传送至下一处理站15,该第三子分支用于与回传设备16连接,以使得将该待分拣货物传送至回传设备16,第四子分支用于与另一分拣设备19连接,以使得将该待分拣货物传送至另一分拣设备19,等等。
其中,该缓冲容器14用于放置暂停分拣货物,以使得控制设备在确定对该暂停分拣货物进行分拣处理的情况下,可以从该缓冲容器中获取该暂停分拣货物。示例地,该缓冲容器14可以包括料箱、货架或者置物筐等用于缓冲货物的容器。
该下一处理站15可以为包装站,即进行订单复核、货物打包等处理操作。
该回传设备16可以将传送设备12分流出的货物再次回传到传送设备12。例如,传送设备12可以将目前暂时不满足预设分拣条件的货物分流到与回传设备连接的传送分支上,等待该货物满足预设分拣条件之后再由回传设备17将该货物传送回传送设备12,以重新获取该货物的货物信息并进行分拣操作。
该另一分拣设备17可以为与分拣设备11独立运行的分拣设备。例如, 当待分拣货物为其所属订单中的首个投递分拣货物时,如果此时分拣设备11上的空闲分拣容器不足,则可以控制传送设备12将部分货物分流至与另一分拣设备17连接的传送分支上,由该另一分拣设备17对该货物执行分拣操作。这样能够提高分拣效率,从而提升仓储货物分拣的整体效率。
此外,在另一些实施例中,如图4所示,所述系统10还包括:分流设备18,用于将所述传送设备12上的待分拣货物进行分流处理,以将不同待分拣货物分流至所述传送设备12中的不同传送分支。这样,由于待分拣货物可能无法通过分拣设备进行分拣处理,从而本公开需要通过分流设备将不同的待分拣货物进行相应地分流处理。示例地,分流设备18可以设置在传送设备12上(如图4所示),当然,本公开还可以将该分流设备18设置为与该传送设备对接的形式,本公开中的分流设备可以包括分类旋转档臂、扫盘式推送设备、滑块分流设备、胶带浮出式分流设备、辊筒浮出式分流设备或者条板倾斜式分流设备等,上述示例只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。
货物处理系统10中的至少一个传送设备12可包括多个传送设备,货物处理系统10还可以包括与多个传送设备12连接的控制设备,用于控制多个传送设备12中的至少一个传送设备进入工作模式或空闲模式。当有一个传送设备处于工作模式(即该一个传送设备向分拣设备11传送待分拣货物)时,该货物处理系统可以称之为单投料口模式;当有多个传送设备处于工作模式(即该多个传送设备同时向分拣设备11传送待分拣货物)时,该货物处理系统可以称之为多投料口模式,多投料口模式可以提高单个分拣设备的分拣效率。
示例地,可以控制传送设备中的一部分传送设备进入工作模式,在该一部分传送设备进入工作模式后,若待分拣货物数量较多,则可以控制另一部分传送设备中的第一传送设备进入工作模式,实现多投料口同时向分拣设备的料盒上供应待分拣货物的功能,以提高分拣效率。若存在数量较少的待分拣货物,则可以控制该一部分传送设备中的第二传送设备进入空闲模式。可见,本公开可以根据待分拣货物数量状态,控制多个传送设备12中的至少一个传送设备进入工作模式或空闲模式。当然,本公开也可以通过控制传送设备11的传送速度,来控制分拣设备11的分拣效率。例如,当待分拣货物数量较多时,可以同步提高传送设备12的传送速度以及分拣设备11的转盘的 转动速度,以提高分拣设备11的分拣效率;当待分拣货物数量不多时,可以降低传送设备11的传送速度以及分拣设备11的转盘的转动速度。需要说明的是,若本公开通过将该待分拣货物传送至分拣设备11分中央平台,并在该中央平台上将该待分拣货物发放至料盒,则此时可以根据中央平台上的货物堆积情况控制所述多个传送设备12中的至少一个传送设备进入工作模式或空闲模式。
在一个实施例中,若将待分拣货物直接传送至分拣设备11上的料盒中,则分拣设备上料盒的料盒移动速度与至少一个传送设备的传送速度之间可以满足速度对应关系。所述速度对应关系包括以下公式:
v=u*n
其中,v表示分拣设备上料盒的料盒移动速度(移动位数/小时),u表示传送设备的传送速度(传送件数/小时),n用于表示所述至少一个传送设备中处于工作模式的设备数量。移动位数即为分拣设备上的全部料盒经过处于工作模式的至少一个传送设备对应的投料口的次数。
在一种可能的实现方式中,上述所述的控制设备与所述分拣容器移动设备连接,在分拣容器移动设备包括移动小车的情况下,所述控制设备,用于控制移动小车进行移动(如前后移动,和/或,左右移动),以使得移动小车上的目标分拣容器移动至货物接收位置。在另一种可能的实现方式中,可以在分拣容器移动设备上设置有传送装置,该控制设备11,用于控制传送装置将目标分拣容器移动设备上的目标分拣容器移动至货物接收位置。其中,该传送装置可以包括以下任一种:传送带、辊筒、皮带、链条、滚轴以及推杆等。在又一种可能的实现方式中,该分拣容器移动设备包括移动小车,该移动小车上设置有传送装置,这样,本公开可以中的控制设备可以通过控制移动小车进行移动(如前后移动,和/或,左右移动)的同时,控制移动小车上的目标分拣容器也进行移动,使得该目标分拣容器快速移动至所述货物接收位置。
将该目标分拣容器移动至货物接收位置的过程中,通常需要系统提供动力以进行上述三种方式的移动,为了解决该问题,本公开中的目标分拣容器移动设备13上设置有设备动力装置;或者所述分拣设备11上设置有分拣动力装置;或者,所述系统中包括外部动力设备,该外部动力设备可以设置在 分拣设备11的下方位置等;所述分拣动力装置、所述设备动力装置以及所述外部动力设备,均用于向所述移动小车提供动力以使得所述移动小车上的目标分拣容器移动至所述货物接收位置;或者向所述传送装置提供动力以使得所述传送装置带动所述目标分拣容器移动至所述货物接收位置。换句话说,分拣容器移动设备可以自身提供动力以控制放置在该分拣容器移动设备上的分拣容器移动;或者,还可以由其他设备向分拣容器移动设备提供动力,以控制分拣容器移动设备上的传送装置带动分拣容器移动。
在本公开实施例中,上述所述的分拣动力装置以及外部动力设备可以通过以下任一种方式与分拣容器移动设备连接,为了方便叙述,可以将分拣动力装置以及外部动力设备统称为传动机构:
方式一、齿轮传动连接的方式:可以在分拣容器移动设备的一端设置有齿轮机构,当分拣容器移动设备移动至投递口下方之后,分拣容器移动设备上的齿轮与传动机构上的齿轮啮合,使得传动机构通过两个齿轮将传动动力传递到分拣容器移动设备上以控制分拣容器移动设备进行移动,或者传动机构通过两个齿轮将传动动力传递到分拣容器移动设备上的传送装置以控制传送装置转动,达到料箱移动设备上的分拣容器移动的作用。示例地,如图21所示,示出了一种齿轮结构,其中,可以将图21中内齿轮设置在分拣容器移动设备的一端,外齿轮设置在传动机构的一端,或者将图21中外齿轮设置在分拣容器移动设备的一端,内齿轮设置在传动机构的一端。
方式二、轴传动连接的方式:分拣容器移动设备的一端设置有从动轮轴套,当分拣容器移动设备移动至投递口下方后,传动机构上的主动轴插入从动轴套以实现二者的啮合,使得传动机构通过轴传动将传动动力传递到分拣容器移动设备上以控制分拣容器移动设备进行移动,或者传动机构通过轴传动将传动动力传递到分拣容器移动设备上的传送装置以控制传送装置转动,达到料箱移动设备上的分拣容器移动的作用。
方式三、皮带传动连接的方式:分拣容器移动设备的一端设置有从动齿轮,当分拣容器移动设备移动至投递口下方后,传动机构将齿形皮带移动到从动齿轮处实现啮合,使得传动机构通过皮带传动将传动动力传递到分拣容器移动设备上以控制分拣容器移动设备进行移动,或者传动机构通过皮带传动将传动动力传递到分拣容器移动设备上的传送装置以控制传送装置转动, 达到料箱移动设备上的分拣容器移动的作用。
方式四、磁流体传动连接的方式:本方式中可以采用磁流体为传动机构的传动介质。传动机构输出一个旋转磁场,使得分拣容器移动设备进入旋转磁场内,旋转磁场的磁力线与分拣容器移动设备中接触点的切线相交,使分拣容器移动设备获得传动动力以控制分拣容器移动设备进行移动,或者传送装置进入旋转磁场内,旋转磁场的磁力线与传送装置中接触点的切线相交,使传送装置获取到传动动力以进行转动,达到带动分拣容器移动的作用。示例地,如图22所示,示出了一种磁流体结构的两端,可以将该磁流体结构中的任一端设置在传动机构上,将另一端设置在分拣容器移动设备上。
上述四种连接上方只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。另外,在上述前三种方式中,还可以直接将传送机构与传送装置连接,使得传送机构可以直接向传送装置传递传动动力。综上,本公开通过不同传动连接方式可以向分拣容器移动设备和/或传送装置传递动力,从而使得分拣容器进行移动。
当然,本公开不限于上述所述的方式,例如,在分拣设备11上设置有分拣动力装置的情况下,可以将分拣设备和分拣容器移动装置进行连接。如通过挂钩方式将分拣容器移动设备连接至分拣设备,从而分拣设备上的分拣动力装置可以控制分拣容器移动设备进行移动;或者可以通过挂钩方式将分拣容器移动设备上最靠近分拣设备的分拣容器,连接至分拣设备,该分拣容器移动设备上的分拣容器之间相互连接,从而分拣设备上的分拣动力装置可以控制分拣容器进行移动,上述示例只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。
在分拣容器移动设备上的分拣容器为订单完成状态的情况下,通常需要对分拣容器进行换箱。为了提示用户对订单完成状态的分拣容器进行换箱操作,可以在分拣容器移动设备上设置有提示装置,用于指示所述分拣容器移动设备上的分拣容器对应的订单状态。其中,该提示装置包括以下至少一种:灯光提示器、显示屏提示器和声音提示器。
在提示装置包括提示器的情况下,在一种可能的实现方式中,若该分拣容器移动设备上的至少一个分拣容器为订单完成状态,则可以进行灯光提示,若该分拣容器移动设备上的全部分拣容器均为订单未完成状态,则无需进行灯光提示。在另一种可能的实现方式中,若该分拣容器移动设备上的至少一个分拣容器为订单完成状态,则可以按照第一预设闪烁颜色进行提示,若该 分拣容器移动设备上的全部分拣容器均为订单未完成状态,则可以按照第二预设闪烁颜色进行提示。
考虑到该分拣容器移动设备上存在多个分拣容器,为了更好地提示用户需要更换的更换分拣容器,可以对分拣容器移动设备上的多个分拣容器分别设置提示方式。在一种可能的实现方式中,可以在分拣容器移动设备上与各个分拣容器相邻的位置设置光源(如灯带、灯泡、LED灯等),或者可以在分拣容器上设置光源,通过控制光源开关或者按照不同的颜色/频率闪烁来指示分拣容器的订单状态,例如,绿色或蓝色灯光指示分拣容器为订单完成状态;红色灯光或光源关闭指示分拣容器为订单未完成状态,或者还可以用灯光闪烁指示分拣容器为订单完成状态。在另一种可能的实现方式中,还可以在其他地方设置光源,通过将光斑投射在分拣容器上指示该分拣容器的订单状态,例如,可以通过不同颜色的光斑指示该分拣容器不同的订单状态,也可以该分拣容器上是否有光斑来指示该分拣容器不同的订单状态。在又一种可能的实现方式中,可以对分拣容器移动设备上的多个分拣容器分别设置闪烁参数,若该闪烁参数包括闪烁时长,则使得用户可以根据闪烁时长,确定需要更换的更换分拣容器;若该闪烁参数包括闪烁频率,则使得用户可以根据闪烁频率,确定需要更换的更换分拣容器;若该闪烁参数包括闪烁颜色,使得用户可以根据闪烁颜色,确定需要更换的更换分拣容器,等等。
在一些实施例中,如果分拣容器移动设备上的全部分拣容器均为订单未完成状态,需要及时对该分拣容器移动设备进行整排更换容器,如果分拣容器移动设备上的部分分拣容器均为订单未完成状态,可以决定是否对该部分分拣容器进行换箱。因此,本公开可以对上述两种情况进行不同提示。例如,若分拣容器移动设备上的全部分拣容器均为订单完成状态,则按照第一预设闪烁方式进行提示,若分拣容器移动设备上的部分分拣容器均为订单完成状态,则按照第二预设闪烁方式进行提示。
在另一些实施例中,在提示装置包括显示屏提示器的情况下,可以在显示屏上显示该分拣容器移动设备上的多个分拣容器分别对应的订单状态。由于用户比较关注订单完成状态的分拣容器,因此,在显示屏上可以将订单完成状态的分拣容器的箱体编号按照预设字体样式进行展示,如该预设字体样式为加粗、红色以及二号字体等。当然,本公开还可以在该显示屏上只显示 订单状态为订单完成状态的分拣容器的箱体编号,从而使得用户可以容易查看,等等。
在又一实施例中,在该提示装置包括声音提示器(如扬声器等)的情况下,本公开可以通过声音提示器指示分拣容器移动设备上的分拣容器的订单状态,如可以通过语音消息“第5个分拣容器移动设备上的第四个分拣容器为订单完成状态,请换箱”,或者“第7个分拣容器移动设备上的全部分拣容器为订单完成状态,请整排更换容器”等等。另外,本公开还可以通过灯光提示器、显示屏提示器和声音提示器中的任何结合方式指示分拣容器移动设备上的分拣容器的订单状态,上述示例只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。
此外,本公开中的控制设备11,还用于在目标分拣容器移动设备13包括的多个分拣容器131均为订单完成状态的情况下,控制分拣容器移动设备13从当前位置移动至下一处理站所在的目标位置。当然,本公开还可以将该多个分拣容器卸载,如采用人工卸载和/或自动卸载的方式,并将卸载的多个分拣容器通过运送设备运送至下一处理站,如该运送设备为叉车、AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle,自动导引运输车)等,然后在该分拣容器移动设备上放置多个空闲分拣容器,以使得该分拣容器移动设备可以继续进行本公开中的货物处理过程。
在控制分拣容器移动设备13从当前位置移动至下一处理站所在的目标位置后,若该当前位置不放置新分拣容器移动设备,则使得该货物处理系统中的分拣容器的数量较少,为了避免该问题,本公开中的系统还包括:多个待用分拣容器移动设备;所述待用分拣容器移动设备上放置有多个空闲分拣容器;这样,控制设备11,还用于在分拣容器移动设备13从所述当前位置移动至所述下一处理站所在的目标位置之后,从所述待用分拣容器移动设备中获取新分拣容器移动设备,并控制新分拣容器移动设备移动至所述当前位置,从而使得货物处理系统中的分拣容器数量保持不变。
需要说明的是,本公开中的控制设备可以为本地服务器、云端服务器等,并且该控制设备还可以分别与至少一个传送设备、分拣设备以及分拣容器移动设备有线连接或无线连接,从而可以控制至少一个传送设备、分拣设备以及分拣容器移动设备执行上述过程,不再赘述。控制设备与传送设备、分拣 设备或分拣容器移动设备之间可以通过有线信号或无线信号进行通信。
采用上述所述货物处理系统,所述系统包括分拣设备、以及与所述分拣设备对接的至少一个传送设备,所述分拣设备设置有用于放置待分拣货物的多个料盒,在所述分拣设备的每个投递口的投递位置处设置有分拣容器移动设备,所述分拣容器移动设备用于放置多个分拣容器;其中,所述传送设备,用于采集待分拣货物的货物信息,以及将待分拣货物传送至所述分拣设备的目标料盒;所述分拣容器移动设备,用于根据所述货物信息将所述待分拣货物对应的目标分拣容器移动至货物接收位置;所述分拣设备,用于将所述目标料盒移动至所述目标分拣容器所在的目标分拣容器移动设备对应的目标投递口处,并将所述待分拣货物经由所述目标投递口投递至目标分拣容器。这样,由于本公开通过在分拣容器移动设备上设置多个分拣容器,使得该货物处理系统的分拣容器的数量较多,并且每个分拣容器均可针对单个订单进行订单合流,因此,使得货物处理系统可以同时对大量订单进行订单合流,提高了订单合流效率。
本公开实施例还提供了一种分拣容器移动设备,该分拣容器移动设备包括:本体;所述本体上设置有用于放置有多个分拣容器的放置区;其中,所述本体能够控制所述多个分拣容器移动。
其中,可以在本体上设置有滚轮和/或万向轮等,以使得本体可以进行移动,并且该多个分拣容器可以平铺放置在放置区上。
由于本公开中的分拣容器对应的订单状态会发生变化,该订单状态包括订单完成状态和订单未完成状态,这样,本公开需要根据订单状态提示更换分拣容器,因此,本公开在分拣容器移动设备上设置有提示装置,提示装置用于指示多个分拣容器对应的订单状态;其中,所述提示装置包括以下至少一种:灯光提示器、显示屏提示器和声音提示器。以及该提示装置可以设置在该放置区周边与该分拣容器对应的位置,具体提示过程可以参考实施例1中的论述,不再赘述。
另外,本公开中的本体还可以包括控制模块和传送装置,所述放置区位于所述传送装置上,此时,该传送装置可以为传送带、辊筒、皮带、链条、滚轴等;或放置区位于与所述传送装置相对的位置,此时,该传送装置可以为推杆等等,本公开对此不作限定,所述控制模块用于控制所述传送装置移 动所述多个分拣容器。
所述分拣容器移动设备还包括:传动机构,用于与外部动力装置连接,以从外部动力装置获取动力,控制所述本体或所述传送装置移动。具体控制过程可以参考实施例1中的轮式,不再赘述。
采用上述所述的分拣容器移动设备,由于本公开通过在分拣容器移动设备上设置多个分拣容器,使得同一投递位置对应多个分拣容器,从而可以同时对大量订单进行订单合流,提高了订单合流效率。
参照图5,示出了一种货物处理方法的流程示意图,如图5所示,所述方法包括步骤501、502、503和504。
步骤501,获取待分拣货物的货物信息。
在本公开实施例中,该货物信息可以包括以下至少一种:待分拣货物属于的目标订单的订单标识、待分拣货物对应的目标货物标识以及待分拣货物的目标货物体积等信息,上述示例只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。
步骤502,根据货物信息从多个候选分拣容器中确定目标分拣容器,所述目标分拣容器位于分拣容器移动设备上,所述分拣容器移动设备上放置有多个分拣容器。
在本步骤中,可以通过以下步骤确定目标分拣容器:
S11、根据货物信息确定待分拣货物属于的目标订单。
在一些可能的实现方式中,预先设置有不同订单及货物标识之间的对应关系,例如,第一订单Q1与货物标识(即R1、R2以及R3)之间存在对应关系,第二订单Q2与货物标识(即R4以及R5)之间的对应关系,等等。考虑到多个订单可以对应同一货物标识,这样,本步骤可能根据目标货物标识,获取到多个订单,此时,可以从该多个订单中随机获取该目标货物标识属于的目标订单,当然,本步骤还可以根据预设执行策略确定该目标订单,该预设执行策略可以包括:将该待分拣货物作为该多个订单包括的货物,并获取该多个订单对应的订单排序号,根据订单排序号从该多个订单中确定目标订单,即将订单排序号为首个的订单作为该目标订单,本公开按照该订单排序号对该订单进行分拣容器的分配,即优先对订单排序号靠前的订单进行分拣容器的分配。
在另一些可能的实现方式中,该货物信息中包括该待分拣货物属于的目 标订单的订单标识,根据该订单标识即可确定该目标订单。
S12、判断待分拣货物是否属于目标订单中的首个投递分拣货物。
在待分拣货物属于目标订单中的首个投递分拣货物的情况下,由于该目标订单不存在已投递的分拣货物,如该目标订单中的待分拣货物位于缓冲容器中、货架上、或者运送车(运送车用于将货物从货架运往货物处理系统处)上,此时需要为该待分拣货物分配分拣容器。因此,执行步骤S13;
在待分拣货物不属于目标订单中的首个投递分拣货物的情况下,在一种可能的实现方式中,由于该目标订单已经存在投递的分拣货物,从而该目标订单存在有对应的目标分拣容器,因此,执行步骤S14。在另一种可能的实现方式中,若该待分拣货物属于的目标订单的目标分拣容器已满,说明一个分拣容器无法容纳该目标订单中的全部货物,此时需要为该待分拣货物重新分配另一个分拣容器,因此,本公开实施例还需要判断目标订单对应的目标分拣容器是否已满,在目标分拣容器已满的情况下,根据预设筛选条件,从多个候选分拣容器中确定目标订单对应的另一目标分拣容器;所述预设筛选条件包括:所述目标分拣容器为未占用状态。在目标分拣容器未满的情况下,若该目标分拣容器的剩余容量可以容纳该待分拣货物,则执行步骤S14。
S13、根据预设筛选条件,从所述多个候选分拣容器中确定所述目标订单对应的目标分拣容器。
其中,若该分拣容器为占用状态,则若将该待分拣货物投递至占用状态的分拣容器,则该占用状态的分拣容器中将会存在多个订单的货物,从而无法实现订单合流,因此,本公开中的预设筛选条件包括:所述目标分拣容器为未占用状态。
考虑到在分拣容器为订单完成状态的情况下,需要将订单完成状态的分拣容器进行换箱,由于本公开中将多个分拣容器设置于一个分拣容器移动设备,为了提高换箱效率,本公开中的同一分拣容器移动设备上的多个分拣容器的分拣完成时间尽量接近,从而可以将该分拣容器移动设备上的多个分拣容器进行整排更换容器。
另外,由于待分拣货物的体积不相同,每个订单中包括的全部货物的总体积也不相同,针对总体积不同的订单,本公开还可以使用不同箱体型号的分拣容器,从而使得总体积较大的订单可以使用体积较大的分拣容器,使得 总体积较小的订单可以使用体积较小的分拣容器。可见,通过设置不同箱体型号的分拣容器,可以更好满足货物尺寸需求,以及合理利用箱体空间。
综上,本公开中的预设筛选条件还可以包括:位于同一分拣容器移动设备上的任两个分拣容器对应的分拣完成时间之间的时间差值小于或者等于预设时间阈值;和/或,分拣容器的箱体型号与对应的订单中包括的全部货物的总体积符合预设对应关系;所述预设对应关系包括不同箱体型号与货物总体积范围之间的对应关系。
位于同一分拣容器移动设备上的任两个分拣容器对应的分拣完成时间之间的时间差值小于或者等于预设时间阈值,包括以下两种情况:第一种情况,两个分拣容器接收到各自对应的订单中的首件货物的时间接近,且各自对应的订单中的全部货物完成投递所需的时长接近;第二种情况,两个分拣容器接收到各自对应的订单中的首件货物的时间间隔较远,但是各自对应的订单中的最后一件货物完成投递的时间接近。
S14、获取目标订单对应的目标分拣容器。
由于本公开是针对同一订单进行订单合流,这样,在该目标订单已经存在首个投递分拣货物的情况下,可以确定该首个投递分拣货物所在的分拣容器即为该目标分拣容器。
步骤503,在所述目标分拣容器未位于所述待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置的情况下,控制分拣容器移动设备将所述目标分拣容器移动至所述货物接收位置,并控制分拣设备将所述待分拣货物投递至所述目标分拣容器。
在本公开实施例中,在一种可能的实现方式中,在该分拣容器移动设备包括移动小车的情况下,可以通过移动小车进行移动(如前后移动,和/或,左右移动),以使得移动小车上的分拣容器移动至货物接收位置;在另一种可能的实现方式中,可以在分拣容器移动设备上设置有传送装置,从而通过传送装置控制分拣容器移动设备上的分拣容器进行移动;再又一种可能的实现方式中,该分拣容器移动设备可以为移动小车,且在移动小车上设置有传送装置,从而可以在移动小车进行移动(如前后移动,和/或,左右移动)的同时,该移动小车上的分拣容器也可通过传送装置进行移动,从而缩短了分拣容器到达货物接收位置的时间。
步骤504,在所述目标分拣容器位于所述待分拣货物对应的货物接收位 置的情况下,控制分拣设备将所述待分拣货物投递至所述目标分拣容器。
步骤503和步骤504中的投递操作可以参考实施例1中的投递操作,此处不再赘述。
采用上述方法,首先获取待分拣货物的货物信息;接着根据货物信息从多个候选分拣容器中确定目标分拣容器,所述目标分拣容器位于分拣容器移动设备上,所述分拣容器移动设备上放置有多个分拣容器;然后在目标分拣容器未位于待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置的情况下,控制分拣容器移动设备将目标分拣容器移动至货物接收位置,并控制分拣设备将待分拣货物投递至目标分拣容器;或者,在目标分拣容器位于待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置的情况下,控制分拣设备将待分拣货物投递至目标分拣容器。这样,由于本公开通过在分拣容器移动设备上设置多个分拣容器,使得同一投递位置对应多个分拣容器,从而可以同时对大量订单进行订单合流,提高了订单合流效率。
参照图6,示出了一种货物处理方法的流程示意图,如图6所示,所述方法包括:
步骤601,获取待分拣货物的货物信息。
在本公开实施例中,该货物信息可以包括以下至少一种:待分拣货物属于的目标订单的订单标识、待分拣货物对应的目标货物标识以及待分拣货物的目标货物体积等信息,上述示例只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。
步骤602,根据货物信息,判断待分拣货物是否满足预设分拣条件。
其中,该预设分拣条件包括以下至少一种:待分拣货物不属于指定货物类型,例如,该指定货物类型为易碎品(如玻璃制品)、大件货物、异形货物等;待分拣货物属于的目标订单包括多个货物;待分拣货物属于的目标订单中的指定货物均已完成拣选,指定货物为目标订单中除了所述待分拣货物以外的货物;待分拣货物属于的目标订单中的指定货物在预设时长内到达所述分拣设备;全部分拣容器移动设备上的空闲分拣容器的分拣容器数量大于或者等于待分拣货物属于的目标订单中的全部货物占用的容器占用数量;待分拣货物属于的目标订单对应的当前分拣顺序号,小于或者等于全部分拣容器移动设备上的空闲分拣容器的分拣容器数量;以及待分拣货物对应的目标分拣容器与上一待分拣货物对应的分拣容器为同一分拣容器,或者为位于不 同分拣容器移动设备上的不同分拣容器。
在一些实施例中,订单对应的分拣顺序号越小,表示该订单的分拣优先级越高,即分拣顺序号小的订单会被优先分拣。
在一些实施例中,若将特殊类型的货物在分拣设备自动分拣,则可能会造成货物损坏,如玻璃制品容易破碎,以及大件货物和异形货物容易边角破损以及分拣容器无法容纳等问题,因此,可以将属于指定货物类型的货物排除在分拣设备之外。
在一些实施例中,对于仅包括单件货物的单件订单,可以直接进入下一处理流程,如订单复核、打包、发货等,无需传送到分拣设备进行分拣操作。通过将单件订单与多件订单(即包括多件货物的订单)区分开,能够提升系统整体的分拣效率。另外,本实施例中所指的单件货物可以包括独立包装的一件货物,例如,一箱啤酒,一箱水果等。
在一些实施例中,如果待分拣货物属于的目标订单中的部分货物尚未完成拣选,那么将该待分拣货物投递到分拣容器之后将占据该分拣容器所在的缓冲位较长时间,分拣容器的缓冲位利用率较低。因此通过设置预设分拣条件,将尚未完成拣选的订单中的货物暂时停止传送到分拣设备处,有利于提升分拣效率。
在一些实施例中,对于一个订单包括多个货物的情况,如果该订单中的一部份货物已经到达分拣设备,而另一部分货物还未到达分拣设备(如尚未完成拣选,或完成拣选后尚在传送途中等),此时如果将到达的一部分货物投递至一个分拣容器中,该分拣容器将长时间等待另一部分货物到达,分拣容器的利用率不高。对于此类待分拣货物,可以将先将该货物分流到回传设备或缓冲容器中,当该订单中的另一部分货物也到达分拣设备所在的位置时,再将该待分拣货物通过回传设备回传至与分拣设备对接的传送设备,或者由工作人员或搬运机器人将该待分拣货物搬运至与分拣设备对接的传送设备上,以经由该传送设备将该待分拣货物传送至分拣设备上进行分拣作业。
在一些实施例中,如果发现目前没有足够的空闲分拣容器能够容纳待分拣货物属于的目标订单中的全部货物,可以将该待分拣货物分流出去,暂时不对该待分拣货物执行分拣作业,等待有足够的空闲分拣容器时再对该待分拣货物执行分拣作业。这样能够避免由于该待分拣货物无法投递而长时间占 用分拣设备上的料盒位置,而是将料盒用于放置其他已经完成部分货物分拣的订单对应的待分拣货物,从而提高整体的分拣效率。
在一些实施例中,由于存在分拣设备上料盒的料盒移动速度大于分拣容器移动设备的设备移动速度,这样,若待分拣货物为已投递货物,且相邻两个料盒上的待分拣货物(即待分拣货物和上一待分拣货物)需要投递至同一分拣容器移动设备上的不同分拣容器,则该分拣容器移动设备上的一个分拣容器在接收到上一待分拣货物后,分拣容器移动设备上的另一个分拣容器无法在当前周期内待分拣货物到达对应的投递口时移动至货物接收位置。因此,可以将待分拣货物进行分流处理,使得可以在与该待分拣货物对应的订单中的任一货物到达后,将该待分拣货物与任一货物投递至相邻的料盒中,或者可以根据料盒移动速度和设备移动速度确定待分拣货物对应的目标料盒,等等,以便将料盒上的货物尽快投递到分拣容器中,释放分拣设备上的料盒。
在本公开实施例中,需要将货物从仓库的货架上拣选出来,目前,可以通过人工方式和/或自动方式(如智能拣选机器等)从货架上进行货物拣选,从而将拣选出来的货物运送至图1中所述的货物处理系统处进行分拣作业。在一种场景中,可以对仓库进行分区处理得到多个分区,该多个分区可以同步进行货物拣选,若同一订单中的多个货物位于不同分区中,则可能部分分区将该同一订单中的部分货物已经拣选完成并运送至该货物处理系统处,另一部分分区未将该同一订单中的另一部分货物拣选完成,这样,若将拣选完成的部分货物投递至分拣容器,则可能需要耗费较长时间等待该同一订单中的另一部分货物的投递,从而导致该同一订单占用该分拣容器较长时间;在另一种场景中,对该仓库不进行分区,可以通过拣选人员进行货物拣选,即拣选人员在仓库行走过程中,可以将走过的路径中需要拣选的货物拣选出来,并将拣选出来的货物运送至货物处理系统处,但是在走过的路径中可能存在某一订单的部分货物漏拣的问题,若将该某一订单中的已拣选完成的货物投递至分拣容器,则导致需要耗费较长时间等待该某一订单的部分货物的投递。基于场景一和场景二存在的问题,本公开可以通过货物处理系统对各个订单进行排序得到各个订单的分拣顺序号,从而可以基于分拣顺序号确定是否将订单包括的货物进行投递,进而避免了上述所述的占用分拣容器较长的问题。
其中,该分拣顺序号可以按照以下方式确定:首先,获取多个拣选容器 的到达时间;拣选容器中装有多个货物;然后根据到达时间对多个拣选容器进行排序;接着根据排序结果,依次对多个所述拣选容器中的订单进行排序;第一指定订单的分拣顺序号小于第二指定订单的分拣顺序号;所述第一指定订单包括的货物对应的最后一个拣选容器的到达时间先于所述第二指定订单包括的货物对应的最后一个拣选容器的到达时间;所述第一指定订单和所述第二指定订单均为所述拣选容器中的订单。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以获取首个拣选容器中的第一部分订单的分拣顺序号;第一部分订单中包括的货物全部在所述首个拣选容器中;在所述第一部分订单不满足预设终止条件的情况下,根据所述首个拣选容器和第二拣选容器,获取第二部分订单的分拣顺序号;所述第二部分订单中包括的货物全部在所述首个拣选容器和第二拣选容器中;所述预设终止条件为所述第一部分订单的订单总量大于全部分拣容器移动设备上的空闲分拣容器的分拣容器数量。
具体地,通常将拣选完成的货物通过拣选容器(如拣选小车或者拣选框等)运送至货物处理系统处,这样,货物处理系统可以根据拣选容器的到达时间对拣选容器进行排序得到拣选容器队列,然后对拣选容器队列包括的首个拣选容器中的货物进行分拣顺序号的设置。具体地,可以获取首个拣选容器中的第一货物属于的第一订单,并确定该第一订单中包括的全部货物是否均在该首个拣选容器中,若该第一订单中包括的全部货物均在该首个拣选容器中,则可以将该第一货物属于的第一订单的分拣顺序号设置为1;继续获取首个拣选容器中的第二货物,在该第一货物与该第二货物不属于同一订单的情况下,确定该第二货物属于的第二订单中包括的全部货物是否均在该首个拣选容器中,若该第二订单中包括的全部货物均在该首个拣选容器中,则可以将该第二货物属于的第二订单的分拣顺序号设置为2;继续获取首个拣选容器中的第三货物,并在第三货物与前两个货物(即第一货物和第二货物)中的任一货物不属于同一订单的情况下,则确定第三货物属于的第三订单中包括的全部货物是否均在该首个拣选容器中,若该第三订单中包括的全部货物均在该首个拣选容器中,则可以将该第三货物属于的第三订单的分拣顺序号设置为3,依次类推,可以获取到全部货物均在首个拣选容器的第一部分订单的分拣顺序号,并按照该分拣顺序号进行货物投递。另外,控制设备在 检测到该第一部分订单中的某个订单为订单完成状态的情况下,则需要对该分拣顺序号进行更新,如第t订单为订单完成状态时,则分拣顺序号大于t的订单需要进行分拣顺序号的更新,分拣顺序号小于t的订单不进行分拣顺序号的更新。
若该第一部分订单的订单数量小于或者等于全部分拣容器移动设备上的空闲分拣容器的分拣容器数量,则继续根据首个拣选容器和第二个拣选容器确定分拣顺序号,具体过程如下:
对于全部货物并未全在该首个拣选容器的剩余部分订单,则可以通过以下方式进行排序,由于首个拣选容器中存在剩余货物,则可以确定第一剩余货物属于的第一剩余订单包括的全部货物是否都在首个拣选容器和第二个拣选容器中,若第一剩余货物属于的第一剩余订单包括的全部货物都在首个拣选容器和第二个拣选容器中,则在上述第一部分订单中的最大分拣顺序号为b-1的情况下,将该第一剩余货物属于的第一剩余订单的分拣顺序号设置为b;然后继续确定第二剩余货物属于的第二剩余订单包括的全部货物是否都在首个拣选容器和第二个拣选容器中,若第二剩余货物属于的第二剩余订单包括的全部货物都在首个拣选容器和第二个拣选容器中,则可以将该第二剩余货物属于的第二剩余订单的分拣顺序号设置为b+1;继续确定第三剩余货物属于的第三剩余订单包括的全部货物是否都在首个拣选容器和第二个拣选容器中,在第三剩余货物属于的第三剩余订单包括的全部货物都在首个拣选容器和第二个拣选容器中的情况下,将该第三剩余货物属于的第三剩余订单的分拣顺序号设置为b+2,依次类推,在对首个拣选容器中的剩余货物对应的订单进行排序后,继续对第二个拣选容器中的剩余货物对应的订单进行排序,这样,可以获取到全部货物均在首个拣选容器和第二个拣选容器的第二部分订单的分拣顺序号,并按照该分拣顺序号进行货物投递。另外,若该第一部分订单和第二部分订单的订单总数量小于或者等于全部分拣容器移动设备上的空闲分拣容器的分拣容器数量,则可以继续根据首个拣选容器和第二个拣选容器以及第三个拣选容器确定分拣顺序号,直至不存在空闲的分拣容器。当然,本公开也可以将拣选容器队列包括的全部拣选容器中的订单进行分拣顺序号的确定,本公开对此不作限定。
在待分拣货物满足预设分拣条件的情况下,执行步骤603至步骤608;
在待分拣货物不满足预设分拣条件的情况下,执行步骤611和步骤612。
步骤603,根据货物信息从多个候选分拣容器中确定目标分拣容器,所述目标分拣容器位于分拣容器移动设备上,所述分拣容器移动设备上放置有多个分拣容器。
具体过程参考步骤502,不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,在分拣设备上料盒的料盒移动速度大于分拣容器移动设备的设备移动速度的情况下,若待分拣货物为首个投递分拣货物,则可以通过本步骤确定该待分拣货物对应的目标分拣容器,此时,考虑到相邻的两个待分拣货物(即上一待分拣货物和待分拣货物)对应的分拣容器为同一分拣容器移动设备上的不同分拣容器,则在上一待分拣货物投递至对应的分拣容器后,该分拣容器移动设备无法在该待分拣货物到达该目标投递口时,将该待分拣货物对应的分拣容器移动至货物接收位置,因此,为了避免该待分拣货物无法与上一待分拣货物在同一运送周期同时投递导致的该待分拣货物占用料盒的问题,本公开可以将待分拣货物暂不执行分拣作业。具体地,判断待分拣货物对应的目标分拣容器与上一待分拣货物对应的分拣容器是否为同一所述分拣容器移动设备上的不同分拣容器;并在待分拣货物对应的目标分拣容器与上一待分拣货物对应的分拣容器为同一分拣容器移动设备上的不同分拣容器的情况下,根据料盒移动速度和设备移动速度确定待分拣货物对应的目标料盒,或者将待分拣货物进行分流处理,使得可以在与该待分拣货物对应的订单中的任一货物到达后,将该待分拣货物与任一货物投递至相邻的料盒中。
由于分拣设备包括多个料盒,且分拣设备能够控制多个料盒回转,待分拣货物位于分拣设备的目标料盒上;因此,本公开需要控制传送设备将该待分拣货物传送至分拣设备的目标料盒上,以便后续步骤中将目标料盒上的待分拣货物投递至目标分拣容器。
步骤604,获取目标分拣容器所在的分拣容器移动设备的移动设备位置。
本步骤可以通过实施例1中的控制设备获取到各个分拣容器移动设备分别对应的移动设备位置,从而使得控制设备可以实时监控各个分拣容器移动设备,进而进行后续的分拣容器移动设备的控制。
步骤605,根据移动设备位置,确定待分拣货物和目标分拣容器所在的 分拣容器移动设备进行汇合的汇合位置。
在一些实施例中,可以确定分拣容器移动设备所在的移动设备位置为待分拣货物和目标分拣容器所在的分拣容器移动设备进行汇合的汇合位置;为了缩短投递时间,在一种可能的实现方式中,通过控制分拣容器移动设备进行移动以使得分拣容器到达货物接收位置,此时,可以控制分拣容器移动设备进行前后移动的同时还可以进行左右移动,这样,分拣设备和分拣容器移动设备可以相向移动,使得该待投递货物与该分拣容器移动设备快速汇合。具体地,获取分拣设备上料盒的料盒移动速度、分拣容器移动设备的设备移动速度以及待分拣货物的初始运送位置,从而根据料盒移动速度、设备移动速度、初始运送位置以及移动设备位置,确定待分拣货物和目标分拣容器所在的分拣容器移动设备进行汇合的汇合位置,该初始运送位置为该待分拣货物运输至目标料盒时该目标料盒所在的位置;在另一种可能的实现方式中,在分拣容器移动设备上设置传送装置,通过传送装置控制分拣容器进行移动,这样,分拣设备和分拣容器可以相向移动,使得该待投递货物与该分拣容器快速汇合,其中,需要根据传送装置的传送速度、分拣设备上料盒的料盒移动速度、初始运送位置以及目标分拣容器的初始位置确定该汇合位置,该初始位置为该分拣容器未进行移动时的位置,此时,该汇合位置即为后续的货物接收位置。
步骤606,根据汇合位置,确定待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置。
在本公开实施例中,该货物接收位置为该目标分拣容器可以正好接收到该待分拣货物的位置。其中,若移动设备位置为汇合位置,则该货物接收位置可以为汇合位置上的正对投递口的位置,或者若投递口设置有导引机构,则货物接收位置即为正好可以接收到导引机构的输出端投递的待分拣货物的位置,导引机构可以是滑轨或者传送带等,上述示例只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。
步骤607,控制所述分拣设备将所述待分拣货物移动至与所述货物接收位置对应的投递口。
由于分拣设备用于带动多个料盒周期性循环转动,因此,本步骤可以将料盒上的待分拣货物移动至与货物接收位置对应的投递口。
步骤608,判断目标分拣容器是否位于待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置。
在本步骤中,可以通过分拣设备的检测装置确定该目标分拣容器是否位于待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置,或者可以通过控制设备获取分拣容器移动设备的移动设备位置,以确定该分拣容器移动设备上的目标分拣容器是否位于待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置,或者可以通过控制设备获取目标分拣容器所在的位置,从而基于目标分拣容器所在的位置确定目标分拣容器是否位于待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置。
在目标分拣容器位于待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置的情况下,执行步骤609;
在目标分拣容器未位于待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置的情况下,执行步骤610。
步骤609,控制分拣设备将待分拣货物投递至目标分拣容器。
投递的过程可以参考实施例1中的投递过程,不再赘述。
步骤610,控制分拣容器移动设备将目标分拣容器移动至货物接收位置,并将待分拣货物经由投递口投递至目标分拣容器。
在本公开实施例中,在一种可能的实现方式中,在该分拣容器移动设备包括移动小车的情况下,可以通过移动小车进行前后移动,和/或,左右移动,以使得移动小车上的分拣容器移动至货物接收位置;在另一种可能的实现方式中,该分拣容器移动设备不进行移动,可以在分拣容器移动设备上设置有传送装置,从而通过传送装置控制分拣容器移动设备上的分拣容器进行移动;再又一种可能的实现方式中,该分拣容器移动设备可以为移动小车,且在移动小车上设置有传送装置,从而可以在移动小车进行前后移动,和/或,左右移动的同时,该移动小车上的分拣容器也可通过传送装置进行移动,从而缩短了分拣容器到达货物接收位置的时间。
考虑到分拣设备在当前运送周期到达该汇合位置后,该目标分拣容器未位于该货物接收位置,若该分拣设备在当前运算周期将该待分拣货物进行投递,则存在投递错误的问题。
因此,本公开的一些实施例还可以在将所述待分拣货物投递至所述目标分拣容器之前,执行以下方法:
获取待分拣货物在当前运送周期运送至汇合位置的运送时长;
获取目标分拣容器移动至货物接收位置的移动时长;
根据运送时长和移动时长,判断在当前运送周期内待分拣货物移动到汇合位置时,目标分拣容器是否移动至货物接收位置。
其中,在运送时长大于或者等于移动时长的情况下,可以确定在当前运送周期内待分拣货物移动到汇合位置时,目标分拣容器移动至货物接收位置;在运送时长小于移动时长的情况下,可以确定在当前运送周期内待分拣货物移动到汇合位置时,目标分拣容器未移动至货物接收位置。
也就是说,当目标分拣容器在当前运送周期内能够在待分拣货物移动到汇合位置时移动至货物接收位置的情况下,将待分拣货物投递至目标分拣容器;当目标分拣容器在当前运送周期内在待分拣货物移动到汇合位置时未移动至述货物接收位置的情况下,在当前运送周期不执行投递货物操作,使待分拣货物继续随着分拣设备再移动至少一圈,直到将待分拣货物投递至目标分拣容器。
在本公开的可选实施例中,若在当前运送周期未执行投递货物操作,则待分拣货物继续随着分拣设备再移动至少一圈后,分拣设备在待分拣货物移动到汇合位置时,确定该目标分拣容器是否位于货物接收位置,从而在确认目标分拣容器位于货物接收位置的情况下,执行投递货物操作。例如,可以在分拣设备上安装检测装置,该检测装置可以检测分拣容器的位置;或者,分拣容器移动设备可以实时上报放置在其上的分拣容器的位置。
在本公开的另一可选实施例中,可以通过控制设备确定分拣设备需要投递该待分拣货物的目标运送周期。其中,可以获取分拣设备的单位运送时长,单位运送时长可以为分拣设备运行单圈的平均运行时长。这样,该目标运送周期近似值可以通过以下公式计算:(s-1)*z+p-q>0,其中,s为目标运送周期近似值,z为单位运送时长,p为运送时长,q为移动时长,通过上述公式计算出最小s值,在该最小s值为整数的情况下,该最小s值即为该目标运送周期,如该s为3,则可以确定第三运送周期为该目标运送周期,其中,可以将该当前运送周期作为第一运送周期,在该最小s值为小数的情况下,该最小s值进位后的整数即为该目标运送周期,如该s为4.3,则可以确定第五运送周期为该目标运送周期,上述示例只是举例说明,本公开对此不作限定。
步骤611,对待分拣货物进行分流处理。
本步骤可以根据货物处理系统中的分流设备对该待分拣货物进行分流处 理。
另外,本公开考虑到若该待分拣货物属于指定货物类型,则可能造成货物破损,或者该待分拣货物属于的目标订单包括单个货物,则无需执行分拣过程。因此,若该待分拣货物属于指定货物类型,和/或,该待分拣货物属于的目标订单包括单个货物,则直接将该待分拣货物运送至下一处理站。
但是,若待分拣货物属于的目标订单中的指定货物并未全部完成拣选;或者若待分拣货物属于的目标订单中的指定货物在预设时长内不能到达分拣设备;或者若全部分拣容器移动设备上的空闲分拣容器的分拣容器数量小于所述待分拣货物属于的目标订单中的全部货物占用的容器占用数量;以及,若该待分拣货物属于的目标订单对应的当前分拣顺序号,大于全部分拣容器移动设备上的空闲分拣容器的分拣容器数量,则随着分拣容器对应的订单完成分拣使得该待分拣货物的当前分拣顺序号可能发生变化,以及空闲分拣容器的分拣容器数量也发生变化,或者,随着货物不断拣选使得目标订单中的全部货物全部完成拣选或者在预设时间段内目标订单中的全部货物可以到达分拣设备,针对这些情况,需要重新判断是否对该待分拣货物属于的订单进行分拣处理。
步骤612,判断待分拣货物是否为暂停分拣货物。
其中,暂停分拣货物不属于指定货物类型,且暂停分拣货物属于的目标订单包括多个货物。
在待分拣货物为暂停分拣货物的情况下,执行步骤613;
在待分拣货物不为暂停分拣货物的情况下,执行步骤614。
步骤613,根据待分拣货物属于的订单对应的当前分拣顺序号,对暂停分拣货物进行分拣处理。
在本步骤中,在待分拣货物属于的订单对应的当前分拣顺序号小于或者等于全部分拣容器移动设备上的空闲分拣容器的分拣容器数量的情况下,对暂停分拣货物进行分拣处理。
可选地,通过监测该目标订单中的指定货物是否完成拣选,并在待分拣货物属于的目标订单中的指定货物均完成拣选的情况下,对该暂停分拣货物进行分拣处理。
可选地,通过监测该目标订单中的指定货物是否在预设时长内到达分拣 设备,并在待分拣货物属于的目标订单中的指定货物在预设时长内能到达分拣设备的情况下,对该暂停分拣货物进行分拣处理。
可选地,在待分拣货物对应的目标分拣容器与上一待分拣货物对应的分拣容器为同一分拣容器移动设备上的不同分拣容器的情况下,根据料盒移动速度和设备移动速度确定待分拣货物对应的目标料盒,并将该待分拣货物传送至目标料盒,或者将待分拣货物进行分流处理,使得可以在与该待分拣货物对应的订单中的任一货物到达后,将该待分拣货物与任一货物投递至相邻的料盒中。
步骤614,将待分拣货物运送至下一处理站。
这样,可以在下一处理站(如包装站)进行订单复核、货物打包等处理操作。
采用上述方法,首先获取待分拣货物的货物信息;接着根据货物信息从多个候选分拣容器中确定目标分拣容器,所述目标分拣容器位于分拣容器移动设备上,所述分拣容器移动设备上放置有多个分拣容器;然后在目标分拣容器未位于待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置的情况下,控制分拣容器移动设备将目标分拣容器移动至货物接收位置,并控制分拣设备将待分拣货物投递至目标分拣容器;或者,在目标分拣容器位于待分拣货物对应的货物接收位置的情况下,控制分拣设备将待分拣货物投递至目标分拣容器。这样,由于本公开通过在分拣容器移动设备上设置多个分拣容器,使得分拣容器的数量较多,并且每个分拣容器可针对单个订单进行订单合流,因此,使得可以同时对大量订单进行订单合流,提高了订单合流效率。
参照图7,示出了本公开的一种货物处理方法的流程图,在步骤610或者步骤609(图7中为示出)所述的将待分拣货物投递至目标分拣容器之后,若分拣容器为订单完成状态,则可以对分拣容器进行换箱。其中,考虑到该目标分拣容器所在的分拣容器移动设备可以包括多个分拣容器,因此,对于该多个分拣容器均为订单完成状态,可以指示对该分拣容器移动设备进行整排更换容器,具体过程参考步骤701;对于该多个分拣容器中的部分分拣容器为订单完成状态,则可以指示对该部分分拣容器进行换箱,具体过程参考步骤702:
步骤701,在多个分拣容器均为订单完成状态的情况下,生成第一提示 消息;所述第一提示消息用于提示分拣容器移动设备包括的多个分拣容器均为订单完成状态。
在本公开中,由于在该货物处理系统的分拣容器移动设备上设置有提示装置,这样,可以通过提示装置提示分拣容器移动设备包括的多个分拣容器均为订单完成状态。具体提示方式可以参考实施例1中的提示方式。
在确定该目标分拣容器所在分拣容器移动设备包括多个分拣容器的情况下,若该多个分拣容器均为订单完成状态,则可以控制分拣容器移动设备从当前位置移动至目标位置,该目标位置可以为下一处理站对应的位置,为了不影响货物分拣,本公开还可以在分拣容器移动设备从当前位置移动至所述目标位置的情况下,控制新分拣容器移动设备移动至当前位置;新分拣容器移动设备上放置有多个空闲分拣容器,从而提高货物处理效率。当然,本公开也可以将该多个分拣容器卸载,如采用人工卸载和/或自动卸载的方式,并将卸载的多个分拣容器通过运送设备运送至下一处理站,如该运送设备为叉车、AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle,自动导引运输车),然后在该分拣容器移动设备上放置多个空闲分拣容器,以使得该分拣容器移动设备可以继续进行本公开中的货物处理过程。
步骤702,在多个分拣容器中的部分分拣容器为订单完成状态的情况下,生成第二提示消息;所述第二提示消息用于提示所述部分分拣容器为订单完成状态。
由于在该货物处理系统的分拣容器移动设备上设置有提示装置,这样,可以通过提示装置提示分拣容器移动设备包括的部分分拣容器为订单完成状态。具体提示方式可以参考实施例1中的提示方式。
本公开可以根据该第二提示消息将该部分分拣容器卸载,如采用人工卸载和/或自动卸载的方式,并将卸载的部分分拣容器通过运送设备,如该运送设备为叉车、AGV运送至下一处理站,然后在该分拣容器移动设备上放置空闲分拣容器,以使得该分拣容器移动设备可以继续进行本公开中的货物处理过程;或者本公开可以将该多个分拣容器所在的分拣容器移动设备移动至下一处理站,为了不影响货物分拣,本公开还可以在该分拣处理系统中重新放置新分拣容器移动设备,从而提高货物处理效率。
考虑到本公开通过第二提示消息提示用户更换该部分分拣容器。但是, 更换该分拣容器移动设备上的部分分拣容器,存在更换操作繁琐的问题,因此,本公开还可以通过以下两种方式确定是否更换该部分分拣容器,并在确定更换该部分分拣容器的情况下生成第二提示消息。
方式一、首先,获取全部分拣容器移动设备上的空闲分拣容器的箱体数量、指定时间段内的容器释放数量以及指定时间段内的新占用容器数量;所述指定时间段为第一时刻和第二时刻之间的时间段;所述第一时刻为所述部分分拣容器为订单完成状态的时刻,所述第二时刻为所述部分分拣容器所在的分拣容器移动设备上的多个分拣容器均为订单完成状态的时刻。其中,容器释放数量指的是按照整排更换分拣容器的方式(即该分拣容器移动设备上的全部分拣容器进行更换的方式)所释放的分拣容器的数量。另外,本公开中的新占用容器数量可以为以下几种:一种为每个订单占用单个分拣容器,因此,该新占用容器数量即为指定时间段内分配的进行分拣订单的数量;另一种为单个订单可能需要占用多个分拣容器,因此,该新占用容器数量需要根据指定时间段内分配的进行分拣订单各自占用的分拣容器的数量。
接着,根据箱体数量、容器释放数量以及新占用容器数量,确定是否更换部分分拣容器。
在本步骤中,可以通过箱体数量、容器释放数量以及新占用容器数量获取箱体空余量,即首先计算箱体数量和容器释放数量的和值,再计算该和值与新占用容器数量的差值。这样,在该差值小于或者等于预设差值阈值(如0)的情况下,确定更换该部分分拣容器;在该差值大于预设差值阈值的情况下,则此时不执行更换该部分分拣容器,并在该第二时刻检测到该分拣容器移动设备上的全部分拣容器为订单完成状态的情况下,更换该部分分拣容器所在的分拣容器移动设备上的全部分拣容器。
然后,在确定更换部分分拣容器的情况下,生成该第二提示消息。
在根据箱体数量、容器释放数量以及新占用容器数量,确定不更换部分分拣容器的情况下,不生成该第二提示消息。
方式二、首先,获取待出库分拣容器的订单出库时刻;所述待出库分拣容器为所述部分分拣容器中的任一分拣容器。
考虑到分拣容器对应的订单要求出库的时间比较紧急,从而本公开针对出库时间紧急的订单对应的分拣容器需要及时进行换箱,因此,需要获取订 单出库时刻。
接着,根据预设处理时长和所述订单出库时刻,获取所述待出库分拣容器的更换时间段。
在本步骤中,该预设处理时长为后续处理站进行处理的所需的时长,可以根据经验值给定。该更换时间段的终止时刻为订单出库时刻减去预设处理时长的时刻,该更换时间段的起始时刻为该终止时刻减去指定时长的时刻。示例地,若该订单出库时刻为2019年4月9日中午12:00,且订单处理时长为20分钟,该指定时长为10分钟,则该更换时间段为2019年4月9日中午11:30至2019年4月9日中午11:40之间的时间段。
最后,在所述更换时间段内,生成所述第二提示消息。
本公开为了避免紧急出库的订单出现出库滞后,因此,可以通过确定更换时间段进行提示换箱,以进行后续的出库处理。
采用上述方法,本公开存在该分拣容器移动设备上的全部分拣容器均为订单未完成状态,以及该分拣容器移动设备上的部分分拣容器均为订单未完成状态,对于分拣容器移动设备上的全部分拣容器均为订单未完成状态,需要及时对该分拣容器移动设备进行整排更换容器,而对于分拣容器移动设备上的部分分拣容器均为订单未完成状态,可以决定是否对该部分分拣容器进行换箱,因此,本公开可以对上述两种情况进行不同提示。
