At present, the selection of goods for different orders is completely completed by manpower. The work content is simple and repetitive, which not only consumes a lot of manpower but also has high labor intensity.
目前,播种式拣选时较为常用的商品拣选方式,播种式拣选是把多份订单(即多个客户的要货需求)集合成一批,先把其中每种商品的数量分别汇总,再逐个品种对所有客户进行分货,形似播种,因此也称其为“商品汇总分播”。因此,播种式拣选的特点是每次都需要处理多份订单或多个客户;操作复杂,难度系数大,适用于订单品种和数量都比较多的拣选。At present, seed picking is a more commonly used method of product picking. Seed picking is to gather multiple orders (that is, the demand for goods from multiple customers) into a batch. All customers carry out the distribution of goods, which is similar to sowing, so it is also called "commodity distribution and distribution". Therefore, the characteristic of seed picking is that it needs to process multiple orders or multiple customers each time; the operation is complicated and the difficulty coefficient is large, and it is suitable for picking with a large number of orders.
由于播种式拣选能够高效处理成批订单,其完成一份订单的平均时间要少于摘果式拣选,所以当下的各大电商仓储企业,都正在把传统的摘果式拣选方式逐步转变为播种式拣选。然而,播种式拣选有其固有的缺陷:首先,播种式拣选的操作难度大且劳动强度高,由于需要同时处理多个订单,订单间存在各种差别,在不同位置的料框之间频繁切换会让操作人员非常疲劳,因此分拣流程的整体操作难度大;其次,流程的管理非常困难,对分拣流程管理的要求更高,对管理信息系统、人员、规章制度等都有更高的要求。Since seed picking can efficiently process batches of orders, the average time to complete an order is less than fruit picking, so the current major e-commerce warehousing companies are gradually changing the traditional fruit picking method to seed picking. Pick. However, seed picking has its inherent shortcomings: first, seed picking is difficult and labor-intensive. Due to the need to process multiple orders at the same time, there are various differences between orders, and frequent switching between different positions of the material frame It will make the operators very tired, so the overall operation of the sorting process is difficult; secondly, the management of the process is very difficult, and the requirements for the management of the sorting process are higher, and the management information system, personnel, rules and regulations are higher. Require.
有鉴于此,分拣领域亟需一种能够实现仓库内商品自动出库上线,货物自动拣选到订单箱来代替人力分拣。In view of this, the sorting field urgently needs a way to realize the automatic delivery of goods in the warehouse and online goods, and the goods are automatically picked to the order box instead of manual sorting.

目前,仓储管理中涉及到的拣选方式通常有播种式分拣和摘果式分拣。播种式分拣是把多份订单(即多个客户的要货需求)集合成一批,先把其中每种商品的数量分别汇总,再逐个品种对所有客户进行分货,形似播种;播种式分拣的特点是每次处理多份订单,操作复杂且难度系数大。摘果式分拣是针对每一份订单(即每个客户)进行拣选,拣货人员或设备巡回于各个货物储位,将所需的货物取出,形似摘过;摘果式分拣的特点是每人每次只处理一份订单,简单易操作。At present, the sorting methods involved in warehouse management usually include seed sorting and fruit picking sorting. Seeding sorting is to gather multiple orders (that is, the requirements of multiple customers) into a batch, first collect the quantity of each product separately, and then divide the goods for all customers one by one, similar to seeding; The characteristic of picking is that it processes multiple orders at a time, which is complicated and difficult. Fruit picking sorting is for each order (that is, each customer) to pick, picking personnel or equipment circulates in each cargo storage location, and takes out the required goods, which looks like they have been picked; the characteristic of fruit picking People only process one order at a time, which is simple and easy to operate.
然,无论是现有技术中的播种式分拣还是摘果式分拣,都有很多不足之处,摘果式分拣的效率较低,播种式分拣的操作难度大,人力劳动强度高,对分拣流程管理的要求更高,对管理信息系统、人员、规章制度等都有更高的要求。Of course, whether it is seeding sorting or fruit picking sorting in the prior art, there are many shortcomings. The efficiency of fruit picking sorting is low, the operation of seeding sorting is difficult, and the labor intensity is high. Sorting process management has higher requirements, and has higher requirements on management information systems, personnel, rules and regulations, etc.
有鉴于此,本发明提供一种带升降机构的机器人播种和/或分拣系统,其旨在提供一种基于机器人的自动拣选方案,实现了完全由自动化设备执行播种作业的功能,不仅作业效率大为提高,而且整个分拣过程的信息可追溯,实现全流程的控制和监管;分拣系统由于引入了机器人单元,大大扩展了设备的分拣能力;分拣系统还大大降低了错误率,避免传统的播种分拣系统中人工作业带来的失误操作或错误投单;而且由于操作人员的减少,作业流程得到了最大程度的精简,使企业的管理成本得到极大的降低。In view of this, the present invention provides a robot seeding and/or sorting system with a lifting mechanism, which aims to provide a robot-based automatic picking scheme, which realizes the function of fully automated equipment to perform the seeding operation, not only working efficiency It is greatly improved, and the information of the entire sorting process can be traced to realize the control and supervision of the whole process; the sorting system has greatly expanded the sorting capacity of the equipment due to the introduction of the robot unit; the sorting system has also greatly reduced the error rate, Avoid misoperations or wrong orders caused by manual operations in the traditional seeding and sorting system; and due to the reduction of operators, the operation process has been simplified to the greatest extent, so that the management cost of the enterprise has been greatly reduced.
