Description

货物取出方法、装置、机器人、仓储系统及存储介质

具体实施方式
这里将详细地对示例性实施例进行说明,其示例表示在附图中。下面的描述涉及附图时,除非另有表示,不同附图中的相同数字表示相同或相似的要素。以下示例性实施例中所描述的实施方式并不代表与本公开相一致的所有实施方式。相反,它们仅是与如所附权利要求书中所详述的、本公开的一些方面相一致的装置和方法的例子。
下面以具体地实施例对本公开的技术方案以及本公开的技术方案如何解决上述技术问题进行详细说明。下面这几个具体的实施例可以相互结合,对于相同或相似的概念或过程可能在某些实施例中不再赘述。下面将结合附图,对本公开的实施例进行描述。
下面对本公开实施例的应用场景进行解释:
本公开应用于动态配置货物存放空间的场景,本公开提供不同于固定库位的一种动态配置货物存放空间的货物置放方法。
动态配置货物存放空间是指:在系统确定待存放的货物之后,根据货物的尺寸,从现有的未被占用的空间中分配一个与所述货物尺寸适配的第一存储空间,其中,未被占用空间可以是任意大小的空间,所述未被占用的空间中不包括已划分好的固定库位;其中,所述第一存储空间可容纳所述待存放的货物,所述固定库位是指在仓库中预置好的库位,固定库位的位置固定且大小确定。
动态货物存放空间可以为通过动态配置货物存放空间的空间。
示例性的,动态配置货物存放空间至少包括一维和/或二维配置方式。
示例性的,图1A为本公开一个实施例提供的一维配置方式下存放情况的示意图,配合X-Y坐标系理解,一维配置方式是指货物存放空间中的每一层的货物在深度Y方向,仅可以呈一排放置,其中,在一维方式下,货物的存放空间包括第一未被占用空间和/或第一被占用的空间,具体的,第一被占用空间为在货物进出方向上已放置有货物的空间。
示例性的,图1C为本公开一个实施例提供的二维配置方式下存放情况的示意图,配合X-Y坐标系理解,二维配置方式是指货物存放空间中的每一层的货物在深度Y方向可以呈一排放置、多排放置或者一排多排混合放置。即二维配置方式下允许货物存放空间中的货物在深度Y方向上呈多排放置,其中,在二维方式下,货物的存放空间包括第二未被占用空间和/或第二被占用空间,具体的,第二未被占用空间包括在货物进出方向上未被 货物占用的空间。
举例而言,图1A为本公开一个实施例提供的一维配置方式下存放情况的示意图,在一维配置方式下,如图1A所示,针对上述动态配置货物存放空间中未被占用空间,即如同图1A中的空间101a、101b与101c。在系统确认待存放货物,货物100a之后,便会从未被占用空间中,即空间101a、101b与101c中,找出最适配货物100a的第一存储空间,例如空间101c。
图1B为本公开图1A所示实施例提供的放置货物之后的存放情况的示意图,如图1B所示,在置放货物100a之后,当前的未被占用空间为空间101a、101b与101d,其中,空间101d为空间101c在被货物100a部分占用后,新界定的被未占用空间。
图1C为本公开图一个实施例提供的二维配置方式下存放情况的示意图,如图1C所示,二维配置方式的考量上,货架上所指的未被占用的空间,即如同图1C中的空间101e与空间101f。在系统确认待存放货物,货物100b之后,即会从未被占用空间中,即空间101e与空间101f中,找出最适配货物100b的第一存储空间,例如空间101e。
图1D为本公开图1C对应的实施例在放置货物之后的存放情况的示意图,如图1D,在置放货物100b之后,当前的未被占用空间为空间101f、空间101g。其中,空间101g为空间101e在被货物100b部分占用后,新界定的被未占用空间。
图1E为本公开图1C对应的实施例在放置货物之后的存放情况的示意图,参考图1C、1D和图1E可知,图1D和图1E中货物100b放置时的朝向不同,即货物100b在放置时可被转向,即在放置时可以改变待存放货物的朝向,在放置货物100b之后,当前的未被占用空间为空间101f、101h。其中,空间101h为空间101e在被货物100b部分占用后,新界定的被未占用空间。
示例性的,图1F为本公开一个实施例提供的机器人的结构示意图;如图1F所示,所述搬运机器人80包括移动底盘83,存储货架82,搬运装置84,升降组件81。其中,存储货架82、搬运装置84以及升降组件81均安装于所述移动底盘83,以及在存储货架82上设置若干存储单元。升降组件81用于驱动搬运装置84进行升降移动,使搬运装置84对准存储货架82上的任意一个存储单元,或者对准货架和/或货物。搬运装置84能以竖直方向为轴进行旋转而调整朝向,以对准至存储单元,或者对准货架和/或货物。搬运装置84用于执行货物的装载或卸除,以在货架与存储单元之间进行货物的搬运。
示例性的,存储货架82可以选择性的配置或不配置,在不配置存储货架82时,机器人80在搬运货物期间,货物是存放在搬运装置84的容置空间内。
上述实施例中的机器人80可以执行本公开所示的货物存放方法,以实现货架、操作平台之间的货物搬运。
在机器人80执行存放货物任务的过程中,机器人80移动至货物被指定的存放空间的位置,通过升降组件81配合搬运装置84,将货物从存储货架82的存储单元搬运至货架上。
示例性的,图1G为本公开图1F所示实施例中的一种搬运装置的结构示意图。
示例性的,搬运装置84通过旋转机构85安装于托架86,旋转机构85用于带动搬运装置84相对于托架86绕一竖直轴线旋转,以对准存储单元,或者对准货架和/或货物。搬运装置84用于在存储单元与货架之间搬运货物。若搬运装置84未对准货架和/或货物,可通过旋转机构85带动搬运装置84相对于托架86旋转,以保证搬运装置84对准货架和/或货物。
图1H为本公开图1F所示实施例中的一种机器人及其搬运装置的结构。配合图1F与图1G可以理解的是,根据实际情况,旋转机构85可以省略,例如,搬运机器人80以固定的轨道移动,在移动至货架附近后,搬运装置84始终对准货架和/或货物,而货物配置在搬运装置84的取货方向上即可。

然而,现有的智能仓储系统200的货架220上的库位均为位置和尺寸固定的库位,且货架220每层的货物仅可以呈一排放置,从而在货物出库或取出时,仅需要根据货物所在库位的位置生成指令进行相应货物的出库或取出即可,取出方式单一、智能化程度较低。且现有的货物取出方式,无法适用于出库的货物存在阻挡货物的情况,应用范围受限,即当存储阻挡货物时,无法取出所需的货物。为了提高货物取出的智能化程度和应用范围,本公开实施例提供了一种货物取出方法,针对采用两排配置方式或者多排配置方式的货架,当目标货物存在阻挡货物时,实现了根据阻挡货物的数量确定目标货物的取出方式,丰富了货物取出的方式,同时提高了出库的智能化程度以及包含阻挡货物的目标货物出库的效率。
