技术领域
本申请涉及仓储物流技术领域,特别涉及一种电梯资源调度方法及装置。
背景技术
在仓储物流、工厂内物流等一些应用场景中通常需要进行货物的运输,例如对货物的跨楼层运输,即通过AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle,自动导引车)和电梯来在不同楼层间运送货物。
现有跨楼层运输一般采用单拖方式,即一次运输中只会有一个载具被AGV搬运到电梯中并经由电梯运送到达其它楼层。单拖方式的跨楼层运输未考虑实际运行场景,在电梯空间足够的情况下,未充分利用电梯空间,导致整体运行效率低下。
发明内容

第三方面,本申请提供了一种电子设备,包括:处理器和存储器;所述存储器,用于存储可在所述处理器上运行的计算机程序,所述处理器执行所述程序时实现以下步骤:收集第一跨楼层任务,所述第一跨楼层任务包括至少一个待搬运的载具;以指定电梯优先被多个载具共享为目标,从收集到的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层中为指定电梯选定运输起始楼层;确定第一跨楼层任务中以该运输起始楼层为上货楼层的第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层,确定指定电梯的运行方向;确定第二跨楼层任务中与指定电梯的运行方向同向搬运的第三跨楼层任务,根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间,确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置;发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置。

第五方面,本申请提供了一种包含指令的计算机程序产品,当其在计算机上运行时,使得计算机执行本申请中任一所述的电梯资源调度方法。
由上面的技术方案可知,本申请中,根据第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层选定指定电梯的运输起始楼层进而确定第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层选定指定电梯的运行方向进而确定第三跨楼层任务,最后根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的可用空间中的停靠位置,从而发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置使得第三跨楼层任务的载具得以被搬运至该停靠位置。可以看出,应用本申请提供的方法,指定电梯一次可以运输多个跨楼层任务的载具,因此能够提高电梯的空间利用率和搬运效率。

步骤103、确定第一跨楼层任务中以该运输起始楼层为上货楼层的第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层,确定指定电梯的运行方向。
步骤104、确定第二跨楼层任务中与指定电梯的运行方向同向搬运的第三跨楼层任务,根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间,确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置。
步骤105、发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置。
本实施例中,搬运设备可以是AGV等能够搬运载具的运输工具,负责搬运跨楼层任务的载具到指定电梯中或将载具从指定电梯搬离。

在实际应用中,不同的楼层可能属于同一任务调度系统管理,也可能属于不同任务调度系统管理,每一楼层都可能产生以该楼层为上货楼层的跨楼层任务,针对任一楼层,该楼层产生的以该楼层为上货楼层的跨楼层任务可以由该楼层所属任务调度系统发送到电梯控制系统。
一个例子中,收集第一跨楼层任务,包括:接收各楼层的任务调度系统发送的第一跨楼层任务。一个例子中,跨楼层任务包括待搬运的载具的上货楼层、卸货楼层及待搬运的载具的大小;其中,待搬运的载具的上货楼层是指待搬运的载具进入电梯的楼层,也即待搬运的载具当前所在的楼层;待搬运的载具的卸货楼层是指待搬运的载具搬出电梯的楼层,也即待搬运的载具需要搬运到的楼层。
步骤202、以指定电梯优先被多个载具共享为目标,根据收集到的第一跨楼层任务的优先级,从收集到的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层中为指定电梯选定运输起始楼层,其中,所述运输起始楼层为优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层。
一个例子中,当仅存在一个优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务的情况下,直接将该优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层作为运输起始楼层;当存在多个优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层的情况下,在其中选取任务数据最多的上货楼层作为运输起始楼层;当存在多个优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层中的任务数量相同的情况下,在其中随机选取一个上货楼层作为运输起始楼层,或在其中选取距离所述指定电梯当前所在楼层最近的一个上货楼层作为运输起始楼层。
第一跨楼层任务中以运输起始楼层为上货楼层的第二跨楼层任务中,存在至少一个其具有最高的优先级、或者在优先级等同的情况下的任务数量最多。
本实施例中,载具是指用于承载货物的工具(如托盘等),一个例子中,载具中承载有待运输的货物,一个例子中,载具也可以空载,从而将载具搬运到指定的楼层去承装货物。
本实施例中,为了解决目前单拖方式的跨楼层运输存在的运输效率低下问题,以指定电梯优先被多个载具共享为目标,从收集到的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层中为指定电梯选定运输起始楼层,从而使得后续可以使用指定电梯对以运输起始楼层为上货楼层的第二跨楼层任务进行载具搬运。
一个例子中,每个第一跨楼层任务均对应有相应的优先级,不同第一跨楼层任务的优先级可以相同也不同,在为指定电梯选定运输起始楼层时,为了使优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务的载具最先被搬运,考虑将优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层作为运输起始楼层,一个例子中,将优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务称为优先跨楼层任务,则可以选取优先跨楼层任务的上货楼层作为运输起始楼层;如果存在多个优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务,则统计每个优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层中的任务数量,选择其中任务数量最多的上货楼层作为运输起始楼层,一个例子中,将优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务称为优先跨楼层任务,如果存在多个优先跨楼层任务,则确定每个优先跨楼层任务的上货楼层作为待计数上货楼层;选取第一跨楼层任务数量最多的待计数上货楼层作为运输起始楼层。如果存在多个优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层中的任务数量相同的情况,可以在其中随机选取一个上货楼层作为运输起始楼层,或者在其中选取距离电梯当前所在楼层最近的一个上货楼层作为运输起始楼层。一个例子中,第二跨楼层任务是指第一跨楼层任务中以运输起始楼层为上货楼层的跨楼层任务。
在一种可能的实施方式中,根据收集到的第一跨楼层任务的优先级,从收集到的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层中为指定电梯选定运输起始楼层,具体包括:
步骤一,查找优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务。
步骤二,当找到的优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务仅有一个时,将找到的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层确定为指定电梯的运输起始楼层。
步骤三,当找到的优先级最高的第一跨楼层任务有多个时,统计优先级最高的每个第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层的任务数,将任务数最多的上货楼层确定为指定电梯的运输起始楼层。一个例子中,对于任一楼层来说,该楼层的任务数,是指以该楼层为上货楼层的各跨楼层任务的总数量。运输起始楼层的确定方式不仅限于以上确定运输起始楼层的方式,例如还可以针对每一上货楼层,统计该上货楼层的第一跨楼层任务中包括的各待搬运载具的数量和;选取数量和最大的上货楼层作为运输起始楼层;可以统计上货楼层相同的第一跨楼层任务包括的待搬运载具数量之和,将待搬运载具数量之和最大的上货楼层确定为运输起始楼层,等等,均在本申请的保护范围内。
以上步骤202是图1所示步骤102的具体细化。
步骤203、确定第一跨楼层任务中以该运输起始楼层为上货楼层的第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层,确定指定电梯的运行方向。
步骤204、确定第二跨楼层任务中与指定电梯的运行方向同向搬运的第三跨楼层任务,根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间,确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置。
步骤205、发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置。
本实施例中,搬运设备可以是AGV等能够搬运载具的运输工具,负责搬运跨楼层任务的载具到指定电梯中或将载具从指定电梯搬离。
例如,第一跨楼层任务包括:“载具A:大小a×a、上货楼层2、卸货楼层4、优先级高”,“载具B:大小b×a、上货楼层2、卸货楼层3、优先级低”,“载具C:大小c×d、上货楼层4、卸货楼层3、优先级高”,“载具D:大小d×d、上货楼层3、卸货楼层1、优先级低”,“载具E:大小a×a、上货楼层1、卸货楼层3、优先级低”;首先比较各第一跨楼层任务的优先级,“载具A”与“载具C”的第一跨楼层任务的优先级均为高,在“楼层2”与“楼层4”中选取运输起始楼层,以“楼层2”为上货楼层的第一跨楼层任务的数量为2,以“楼层4”为上货楼层的第一跨楼层任务的数量为1,因此选取“楼层2”为运输起始楼层;则第二跨楼层任务包括:“载具A:大小a×a、上货楼层2、卸货楼层4、优先级高”,“载具B:大小b×a、上货楼层2、卸货楼层3、优先级低”。第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层均高于运输起始楼层,因此指定电梯的运行方向为向上,则第三跨楼层任务包括:“载具A:大小a×a、上货楼层2、卸货楼层4、优先级高”,“载具B:大小b×a、上货楼层2、卸货楼层3、优先级低”。
从图2所示方法可以看出,本实施例中,根据第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层和优先级选定指定电梯的运输起始楼层进而确定第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层选定指定电梯的运行方向进而确定第三跨楼层任务,最后根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的可用空间中的停靠位置,从而发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置使得第三跨楼层任务的载具得以被搬运至该停靠位置,从而使得指定电梯一次可以运输多个跨楼层任务的载具,因此能够提高电梯的空间利用率和搬运效率。另外,根据第一跨楼层任务的优先级在第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层中为指定电梯选定运输起始楼层,可以使得具有最高的优先级的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层被选做运输起始楼层,进而使得具有最高的优先级的第一跨楼层任务被优先执行。

步骤3033、根据搬运方向为上行的第二跨楼层任务的优先级、搬运方向为下行的第二跨楼层任务的优先级,确定指定电梯的运行方向,其中,所述指定电梯的运行方向为优先级最高的第二跨楼层任务的搬运方向。
一个例子中,当仅存在一个优先级最高的第二跨楼层任务的情况下,直接将该优先级最高的第二跨楼层任务的搬运方向作为指定电梯的运行方向;当存在多个优先级最高的第二跨楼层任务、且多个优先级最高的第二跨楼层任务的搬运方向包括上行及下行的情况下,统计第二跨楼层任务中的搬运方向为上行的任务总数量、以及统计第二跨楼层任务中的搬运方向为下行的任务总数量,并将任务总数量更大的搬运方向作为所述指定电梯的运行方向。
第二跨楼层任务中与指定电梯的运行方向同向搬运的第三跨楼层任务中,存在至少一个其具有最高的优先级、或者在优先级等同的情况下的任务数量更多。
一个例子中,将第二跨楼层任务中优先级最高的跨楼层任务称为最高跨楼层任务,选取最高跨楼层任务的搬运方向,作为指定电梯的运行方向。若最高跨楼层任务的数量为多个,且搬运方向分别为向上和向下,则统计第二跨楼层任务中搬运方向为向上的跨楼层任务的数量,以及统计第二跨楼层任务中搬运方向为向下的跨楼层任务的数量,并将数量更大的搬运方向作为指定电梯的运行方向。其中,第三跨楼层任务是指第二跨楼层任务中搬运方向与指定电梯的运行方向同向的跨楼层任务。

步骤305、发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置。
本实施例中,搬运设备可以是AGV等能够搬运载具的运输工具,负责搬运跨楼层任务的载具到指定电梯中或将载具从指定电梯搬离。
从图3所示方法可以看出,本实施例中,根据第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层选定指定电梯的运输起始楼层进而确定第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层和优先级选定指定电梯的运行方向进而确定第三跨楼层任务,最后根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的可用空间中的停靠位置,从而发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置使得第三跨楼层任务的载具得以被搬运至该停靠位置,从而使得指定电梯一次可以运输多个跨楼层任务的载具,因此能够提高电梯的空间利用率和搬运效率。

步骤4032b、确定第二跨楼层任务的搬运方向为上行。
步骤4032c、确定第二跨楼层任务的搬运方向为下行。
以上步骤4032a至4032c是图3所示步骤3032的具体细化。
步骤4033、根据搬运方向为上行的第二跨楼层任务的优先级、搬运方向为下行的第二跨楼层任务的优先级,确定指定电梯的运行方向,其中,所述指定电梯的运行方向为优先级最高的第二跨楼层任务的搬运方向。

一个例子中,在Nu等于Nd的情况下,可以确定指定电梯的运行方向是电梯上行;一个例子中,在Nu等于Nd的情况下,可以确定指定电梯的运行方向是电梯下行;一个例子中,在Nu等于Nd的情况下,可以随机选取电梯上行或电梯下行的方向作为指定电梯的运行方向。一个例子中,在Nu等于Nd的情况下,可以统计指定电梯的运输起始楼层下各楼层的第一跨楼层任务的总数量得到第一总数量,统计指定电梯的运输起始楼层上各楼层的第一跨楼层任务的总数量得到第二总数量,在第一总数量大于第二总数量的情况下确定指定电梯的运行方向是电梯下行,在第一总数量小于第二总数量的情况下确定指定电梯的运行方向是电梯上行。
以上步骤5033a至步骤5033c是图3所示步骤3033中“根据搬运方向为上行的第二跨楼层任务的优先级、搬运方向为下行的第二跨楼层任务的优先级,确定指定电梯的运行方向”的具体细化。
以上步骤5031至步骤5033c是图1所示步骤103的具体细化。

本实施例中,拟排布成功是指参与拟排布的各第三跨楼层任务均在指定电梯的当前可用空间中分配到一个与其它跨楼层任务不重叠的停放空间,且该第三跨楼层任务的停放空间不小于该第三跨楼层任务的占用空间。
在一个例子中,第三跨楼层任务的占用空间可以由该第三跨楼层任务指定搬运的载具尺寸决定,即将载具的长度确定为第三跨楼层任务的占用空间的长度,将载具的宽度确定为第三跨楼层任务的占用空间的宽度。
在另一个例子中,第三跨楼层任务的占用空间可以由第三跨楼层任务的载具尺寸和第三跨楼层任务所要搬运的货物的尺寸共同决定,具体来说,可以将载具的长度和货物的长度中的最大长度确定为第三跨楼层任务的占用空间的长度,将载具的宽度和货物的宽度中的最大宽度确定为第三跨楼层任务的占用空间的宽度。

步骤605、发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置。
本实施例中,搬运设备可以是AGV等能够搬运载具的运输工具,负责搬运跨楼层任务的载具到指定电梯中或将载具从指定电梯搬离。
从图6所示方法可以看出,本实施例中,根据第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层选定指定电梯的运输起始楼层进而确定第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层选定指定电梯的运行方向进而确定第三跨楼层任务,最后将第三跨楼层任务按照优先级从大到小排序,并按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,使用排序靠前的第三跨楼层任务进行基于指定电梯的当前可用空间的拟排布,确定拟排布成功所允许的最大第三跨楼层任务个数M,根据对排序靠前的M个第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置的拟排布 结果确定该M个第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置。应用本实施例提供的方法,可以使得指定电梯一次可以运输多个跨楼层任务的载具,因此能够提高电梯的空间利用率和搬运效率。此外,按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则在电梯内排布载具,在出货过程中可以从电梯外侧到内侧依次搬运出载具,不用移动未到达楼层的载具,方便载具从电梯中搬出,提高电梯的搬运效率。
参见图7,图7是本申请实施例七提供的电梯资源调度方法的一种流程图,该方法应用于电梯控制系统,如图7所示,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤701、收集第一跨楼层任务。
本实施例中,第一跨楼层任务包括至少一个待搬运的载具。
步骤702、以指定电梯优先被多个载具共享为目标,从收集到的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层中为指定电梯选定运输起始楼层。
本实施例中,载具是指用于承载货物的工具(如托盘等)。
步骤703、确定第一跨楼层任务中以该运输起始楼层为上货楼层的第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层,确定指定电梯的运行方向。
步骤7041、确定第二跨楼层任务中与指定电梯的运行方向同向搬运的第三跨楼层任务。
步骤7042、将第三跨楼层任务按照优先级从大到小排序。
步骤7043、按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,使用排序靠前的第三跨楼层任务进行基于指定电梯的当前可用空间的拟排布,确定拟排布成功所允许的最大第三跨楼层任务个数M。
在一个例子中,第三跨楼层任务的占用空间可以由该第三跨楼层任务指定搬运的载具尺寸决定,即将载具的长度确定为第三跨楼层任务的占用空间的长度,将载具的宽度确定为第三跨楼层任务的占用空间的宽度。
在另一个例子中,第三跨楼层任务的占用空间可以由第三跨楼层任务的载具尺寸和第三跨楼层任务所要搬运的货物的尺寸共同决定,例如,可以将载具的长度和货物的长度中的最大长度确定为第三跨楼层任务的占用空间的长度,将载具的宽度和货物的宽度中的最大宽度确定为第三跨楼层任务的占用空间的宽度。
本实施例中,按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,使用排序靠前的第三跨楼层任务进行基于指定电梯的当前可用空间的拟排布,确定拟排布成功所允许的最大第三跨楼层任务个数M,具体包括:
S11、依次累加排序靠前的第三跨楼层任务的占用空间,直至占用空间累加结果不小于电梯可用空间,确定累加到的第三跨楼层任务在排序顺序中的序号i。
S12、按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,对排序顺序中的前i-1个上行跨楼层任务进行拟排布操作,如果拟排布操作成功,则确定M的取值为i-1,如果拟排布操作不成功执行步骤S13。
S13、按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,对排序顺序中的前i-2个上行跨楼层任务进行拟排布操作,如果拟排布操作成功,则确定M的取值为i-2,如果拟排布操作不成功执行步骤S14。
S14、依次类推,直到确定M的取值。
本实施例中,按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,使用排序靠前的第三跨楼层任务进行基于指定电梯的当前可用空间的拟排布,确定拟排布成功所允许的最大第三跨楼层任务个数M之后,由于排序靠前的M个第三跨楼层任务可能并未充分利用指定电梯的可用空间,例如,因为第M+1个第三跨楼层任务的占用空间过大,导致对排序在前的M+1个第三跨楼层任务的拟排布失败。这种情况下,排序在前的M个第三跨楼层任务可能并未占用太多的电梯可用空间,还有很多剩余可用空间未被利用,这种情况下,可以继续执行步骤7044至步骤7046的操作,以便再从排序在前的M个第三跨楼层任务之后的第三跨楼层任务中选择可与前M个第三跨楼层任务同梯运输的跨楼层任务,从而进一步提高指定电梯的空间利用率和搬运效率。
步骤7044、当M小于第三跨楼层任务的数量时,根据排序靠前的M个第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置的拟排布结果,确定指定电梯内的剩余可用空间。
本实施例中,当M不小于第三跨楼层任务的数量时,说明已经确定了所有第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的可用空间内的停靠位置,可以由指定电梯一次性完成这些第三跨楼层任务的载具的跨楼层运输,因此不需要再执行步骤7044至步骤7046的步骤。此种情况下,根据对排序靠前的M个第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置的拟排布结果确定该M个第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置即可。
本实施例中,当M小于第三跨楼层任务的数量时,说明还有部分第三跨楼层任务当前还没有被分配停靠位置,这种情况下可以继续执行步骤7044至步骤7046,以便再从排除掉排序在前的M个第三跨楼层任务之外的其他第三跨楼层任务中选择可与前M个第三跨楼层任务同梯运输的第三跨楼层任务。
步骤7045、当指定电梯内的剩余可用空间大于预设第一空间阈值时,在排序在前的M个第三跨楼层任务之后的第三跨楼层任务中选择N个第三跨楼层任务,该N个第三个跨楼层任务满足以下条件:按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,使用排序靠前的M个第三跨楼层任务和该N个第三跨楼层任务进行基于指定电梯的当前可用空间的拟排布成功。
本实施例中,当指定电梯内的剩余可用空间比较小,不足以再放置除排序在前的M个第三跨楼层任务之外的第三跨楼层任务的载具时,不需要再执行步骤7045至步骤7046的操作。此种情况下,根据对排序靠前的M个第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置的拟排布结果确定该M个第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置即可。
本实施例中,当指定电梯内的剩余可用空间足够大,例如大于第一空间阈值时,说明 指定电梯还有足够的可用空间来运输更多的载具,此种情况下,可以继续执行步骤7045至步骤7046的操作,以便再从排序在前的M个第三跨楼层任务之后的第三跨楼层任务中选择可与前M个第三跨楼层任务同梯运输的第三跨楼层任务。
本实施例中,还有一种情况,就是在排序在前的M个第三跨楼层任务之后的第三跨楼层任务中选择满足以下条件的N个第三跨楼层任务时,未能选出任何第三跨楼层任务(即N=0):按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,使用排序靠前的M个第三跨楼层任务和该N个第三跨楼层任务进行基于指定电梯的当前可用空间的拟排布成功。这种情况下,根据对排序靠前的M个第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置的拟排布结果确定该M个第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置即可。
步骤7046、根据对排序靠前的M个第三跨楼层任务和该N个第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置的拟排布结果,确定该M个第三跨楼层任务和该N个第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置。
本实施例中,拟排布成功是指参与拟排布的各第三跨楼层任务均在指定电梯的当前可用空间中分配到一个与其它跨楼层任务不重叠的停放空间,且该第三跨楼层任务的停放空间不小于该第三跨楼层任务的占用空间。
以上步骤7042至步骤7046是图1所示步骤104中“根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间,确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置”的具体细化。
以上步骤7041至步骤7046是图1所示步骤104的具体细化。
步骤705、发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置。
本实施例中,搬运设备可以是AGV等能够搬运载具的运输工具,负责搬运跨楼层任务的载具到指定电梯中或将载具从指定电梯搬离。
从图7所示方法可以看出,本实施例中,根据第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层选定指定电梯的运输起始楼层进而确定第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层选定指定电梯的运行方向进而确定第三跨楼层任务,最后将第三跨楼层任务按照优先级从大到小排序,并按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,使用排序靠前的第三跨楼层任务进行基于指定电梯的当前可用空间的拟排布,确定拟排布成功所允许的最大第三跨楼层任务个数M,之后,再在M小于第三跨楼层任务的任务数量的情况下,根据排序靠前的M个第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置的拟排布结果,确定指定电梯内的剩余可用空间,在指定电梯的剩余可用空间大于第二预设空间阈值时,再在排序在前的M个第三跨楼层任务之后的第三跨楼层任务中选择N个可以与排序在前的M个第三跨楼层任务同梯运输的第三跨楼层任务。应用本实施例提供的方法,可以使得指定电梯一次运输尽可能多的跨楼层任务的载具,因此能够提高电梯的空间利用率和搬运效率。

本实施例中,搬运设备可以是AGV等能够搬运载具的运输工具,负责搬运跨楼层任务的载具到指定电梯中或将载具从指定电梯搬离。
本实施例中,电梯控制系统发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置之前,电梯控制系统可以控制电梯门打开并保持电梯门的打开状态,直至第三跨楼层任务的载具被搬运至相应的停靠位置。
本实施例中,电梯控制系统发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置之后,电梯控制系统可以控制电梯门关闭,以便控制指定电梯沿指定电梯的运行方向运行。
本实施例中,电梯控制系统发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置之后,电梯控制系统就可以控制指定电梯沿指定电梯的运行方向运行,从而对已经放入电梯中的第三跨楼层任务的载具进行跨楼层搬运,即执行步骤806。
步骤806、控制指定电梯沿指定电梯的运行方向运行。
步骤807、在指定电梯运行至任一第三跨楼层任务的卸货楼层时,通知负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备将该第三跨楼层任务的载具从该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置搬离指定电梯。
本实施例中,当指定电梯运行至任一第三跨楼层任务的卸货楼层时,可在对该第三跨楼层任务进行卸货操作,即电梯控制系统通知负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备将该第三跨楼层任务的载具从该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置搬离指定电梯。
本实施例中,电梯控制系统在通知负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备将该第三跨楼层任务的载具从该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置搬离指定电梯之前,可以控制指定电梯的电梯门打开并保持打开状态,直至该第三跨楼层任务的载具被搬离指定电梯。
从图8所示方法可以看出,本实施例中,电梯控制系统根据第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层选定指定电梯的运输起始楼层进而确定第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层选定指定电梯的运行方向进而确定第三跨楼层任务,最后根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的可用空间中的停靠位置,从而发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置使得第三跨楼层任务的载具得以被搬运至该停靠位置,之后电梯控制系统控制指定电梯沿指定电梯的运行方向运行,并在运行至每个第三跨楼层任务的卸货楼层时,通知负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备将该第三跨楼层任务的载具从该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置搬离指定电梯,从而完成对该第三跨楼层任务的载具搬运,该第三跨楼层任务结束。可以看出,应用本实施例提供的方法,可以使得指定电梯一次运输多个跨楼层任务的载具,因此能够提高电梯的空间利用率和搬运效率。
参见图9,图9是本申请实施例九提供的电梯资源调度方法的一种流程图,该方法应用于电梯控制系统,如图9所示,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤901、收集第一跨楼层任务。
本实施例中,第一跨楼层任务包括至少一个待搬运的载具。
步骤902、以指定电梯优先被多个载具共享为目标,从收集到的第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层中为指定电梯选定运输起始楼层。
本实施例中,载具是指用于承载货物的工具(如托盘等)。
步骤903、确定第一跨楼层任务中以该运输起始楼层为上货楼层的第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层,确定指定电梯的运行方向。
步骤904、确定第二跨楼层任务中与指定电梯的运行方向同向搬运的第三跨楼层任务,根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间,确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置。
步骤905、发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置。
本实施例中,搬运设备可以是AGV等能够搬运载具的运输工具,负责搬运跨楼层任务的载具到指定电梯中或将载具从指定电梯搬离。
本实施例中,电梯控制系统发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第三跨楼层任务的载具到该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置之后,就可以控制指定电梯沿指定电梯的运行方向运行,从而对已经放入电梯中的第三跨楼层任务的载具进行跨楼层搬运,即执行步骤906。
步骤906、控制指定电梯沿指定电梯的运行方向运行。
本实施例中,指定电梯沿指定电梯的运行方向运行的过程中,一方面,当运行至某个第三跨楼层任务的卸货楼层时,电梯控制系统可以通知负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备将该第三跨楼层任务的载具从该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置搬离指定电梯,完成对该第三跨楼层任务的载具的搬运,即执行步骤907;另一方面,在指定电梯运行至所述运行方向上的每一途经楼层时,如果指定电梯内还有可用空间,则电梯控制系统确定第一跨楼层任务中以该途经楼层为上货楼层的第四跨楼层任务,从第四跨楼层任务中与指定电梯同向搬运的第五跨楼层任务中选择部分或全部第五跨楼层任务,对选择的第五跨楼层任务的载具进行搭载,即执行步骤908至步骤913的操作,从而进一步提高指定电梯的空间利用率和搬运效率。
步骤907、在指定电梯运行至任一第三跨楼层任务的卸货楼层时,通知负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备将该第三跨楼层任务的载具从该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置搬离指定电梯。
本实施例中,当指定电梯运行至任一第三跨楼层任务的卸货楼层时,可在对该第三跨楼层任务进行卸货操作,即通知负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备将该第三跨楼层任务的载具从该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置搬离指定电梯。
步骤908、在指定电梯运行至所述运行方向上的每一途经楼层时,确定指定电梯的当前可用空间与以该途经楼层为卸货楼层的第三跨楼层任务的占用空间的空间之和,将该空间之和更新为指定电梯的当前可用空间。
在指定电梯运行至所述运行方向上的每一途经楼层时,指定电梯的可用空间由两部分组成,一部分是指定电梯内当前未被占用的空间,另一部分是即将在该途经楼层被搬离的载具占用的空间,即指定电梯中以该途经楼层为卸货楼层的第三跨楼层任务的占用空间。
步骤909、当指定电梯的当前可用空间大于预设第二空间阈值时,确定第一跨楼层任务中以该途经楼层为上货楼层的第四跨楼层任务。
本实施例中,当指定电梯内的当前可用空间比较小,不足以再放置更多的载具时,不需要再执行步骤909至步骤913的操作。
本实施例中,当指定电梯内的当前可用空间足够大,例如大于第二空间阈值时,说明指定电梯还有足够的可用空间来运输更多的载具,此种情况下,可以继续执行步骤909至步骤913的操作,以便使指定电梯可以搭载更多载具。
步骤910、确定卸货楼层不是该途经楼层且载具尚未被搬离指定电梯的第三跨楼层任务的最低卸货楼层。
步骤911、确定第四跨楼层任务中卸货楼层是所述最低卸货楼层或卸货楼层介于该途经楼层和所述最低卸货楼层之间,以及与指定电梯的运行方向同向搬运的第五跨楼层任务。
本实施例中,为了避免指定电梯新搭载的载具阻碍已经被放置在指定电梯内的载具的搬离,电梯控制系统可以先确定卸货楼层不是该途经楼层且载具尚未被搬离指定电梯的第 三跨楼层任务的最低卸货楼层,只对第四跨楼层任务中卸货楼层是所述最低卸货楼层或卸货楼层介于该途经楼层和所述最低卸货楼层之间,以及与指定电梯的运行方向同向搬运的第五跨楼层任务的载具进行搭载。
步骤912、根据第五跨楼层任务的占用空间,确定第五跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置。
本实施例中,根据第五跨楼层任务的占用空间,确定第五跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置,与图1中“根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间,确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置”的操作类似,具体包括:
步骤一,将第五跨楼层任务按照优先级从大到小排序。
步骤二,按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,使用排序靠前的第五跨楼层任务进行基于指定电梯的当前可用空间的拟排布,确定拟排布成功所允许的最大第五跨楼层任务个数X,根据对排序靠前的X个第五跨楼层任务的停靠位置的拟排布结果确定该X个第五跨楼层任务在指定电梯的当前可用空间内的停靠位置。
其中,拟排布成功是指参与拟排布的各第五跨楼层任务均在指定电梯的当前可用空间中分配到一个与其它第五跨楼层任务不重叠的停放空间,且该第五跨楼层任务的停放空间不小于该第五跨楼层任务的占用空间。
本实施例中,按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,使用排序靠前的第五跨楼层任务进行基于指定电梯的当前可用空间的拟排布,确定拟排布成功所允许的最大第五跨楼层任务个数X,具体包括:
S21、依次累加排序靠前的第五跨楼层任务的载具的占用空间,直至占用空间累加结果不小于电梯可用空间,确定累加到的第五跨楼层任务在排序顺序中的序号j。
S22、按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,对排序顺序中的前j-1个第五跨楼层任务进行拟排布操作,如果拟排布操作成功,则确定X的取值为j-1,如果拟排布操作不成功执行步骤S23。
S23、按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,对排序顺序中的前j-2个第五跨楼层任务进行拟排布操作,如果拟排布操作成功,则确定X的取值为j-2,如果拟排布操作不成功执行步骤S24。
S24、依次类推,直到确定X的取值。
步骤913、在以途经楼层为卸货楼层的第三跨楼层任务的载具被搬离指定电梯之后,发布第五跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接该第五跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第五跨楼层任务的载具到该第五跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置。
一个例子中,步骤913发布停靠位置的第五跨楼层任务,与步骤911中定义的第五跨楼层任务可以完全相同;一个例子中,步骤913发布停靠位置的第五跨楼层任务,为步骤911中定义的第五跨楼层任务中的一部分。
本实施例中,电梯控制系统发布第五跨楼层任务的停靠位置,以使负责承接各第五跨楼层任务的搬运设备搬运该第五跨楼层任务的载具到该第五跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置之后,可按照与图8所示步骤807中搬离第三跨楼层任务的载具的方法相同的原理,对第五跨楼层任务的载具执行搬离操作,即:在指定电梯运行至任一第五跨楼层任务的卸货楼层时,通知负责承接该第五跨楼层任务的搬运设备将该第五跨楼层任务的载具从该第五跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置搬离指定电梯。
从图9所示方法可以看出,本实施例中,根据第一跨楼层任务的上货楼层选定指定电梯的运输起始楼层进而确定第二跨楼层任务,根据第二跨楼层任务的卸货楼层选定指定电梯的运行方向进而确定第三跨楼层任务,最后根据第三跨楼层任务的占用空间确定第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯的可用空间中的停靠位置,从而发布第三跨楼层任务的停靠位置使得第三跨楼层任务的载具得以被搬运至该停靠位置,之后控制指定电梯沿指定电梯的运行方向运行,并在运行至每个第三跨楼层任务的卸货楼层时,通知负责承接该第三跨楼层任务的搬运设备将该第三跨楼层任务的载具从该第三跨楼层任务在指定电梯内的停靠位置搬离指定电梯,从而实现对该第三跨楼层任务的载具搬运,该第三跨楼层任务完成。同时,在指定电梯运行至的每一途经楼层时,在指定电梯的可用空间足够大时,还采用一定方法搭载以该途经楼层为上货楼层的部分或全部跨楼层任务的载具,从而进一步提高指定电梯的空间利用率和搬运效率。可以看出,应用本实施例提供的方法,可以使得指定电梯一次运输尽可能多的跨楼层任务的载具,因此能够提高电梯的空间利用率和搬运效率。
以上对本申请实施例提供的电梯资源调度方法进行了详细说明。另外,还有以下两点需要说明:
1、本申请中,按照卸货楼层与运输起始楼层越远则停靠位置越靠近电梯内侧的原则,使用排序靠前的第三跨楼层任务进行基于指定电梯的当前可用空间的拟排布,其具体实现方法根据指定电梯的可用空间及第三跨楼层任务的占用空间的不同有很多种实现方法,例如,对于第三跨楼层任务的占用空间均相同的情况,可以按照图10所示的不同载具数量(等同任务数量)下的拟排布结果(载具序号表明进入电梯顺序),又如,对于第三跨楼层任务的占用空间不完全相同的情况,可以有图11所示的不同载具数量下的多种拟排布结果(载具序号表明进入电梯顺序)。本申请中,具体的拟排布方法是属于具体实现的问题,本申请对此不作限定。
2、在实际应用中,跨楼层任务一般是由任务调度系统生成并发送到电梯控制系统,本申请中,由于跨楼层任务由电梯控制系统进行统一的调配和管理控制,而不是由任务调度系统进行统一的调配和管理控制,任务管理系统只需要将跨楼层任务发送给电梯控制系统即可,不需要过多参与,因此也就不要求所有楼层都使用同一任务调度系统,因此,在实际实现中,可以选择使用不同的任务调度系统管控不同的楼层,这样做的好处是:楼层之间的跨楼层任务松耦合,当某一楼层的任务调度系统故障时,不会影响其它任务调度系统 的跨楼层任务的执行。
本申请实施例还提供了一种电梯资源调度系统,如图12所示,该电梯资源调度系统包括电梯控制系统、指定电梯、以及搬运设备;
