- the target self-service pickup port receives the package pickup verification instruction.
- Step 302 the control device verifies the parcel pickup verification instruction, for example, verifies whether the parcel pickup verification instruction exists, whether the corresponding status is unpickup status, etc. If the parcel pickup verification instruction exists and is in the unpickup status, the parcel pickup verification instruction is verified.
- the control device is based on the corresponding target cargo location number, target turnover box number, and the number of the first conveyor that currently has a free position (referred to as the first conveyor number of the outbound target) according to the parcel pickup verification instruction. , to generate an outbound task and send it to the automatic handling device.
- the outbound task includes the outbound task information such as the moving object: the number of the target turnover box, the moving origin: the target cargo location number in the temporary storage, the moving destination: the number of the first conveyor of the outbound target, etc., which are used to indicate the automatic
- the handling device transports the target turnover box from the target location in the temporary storage to the first conveyor of the outbound target.
- Step 303 the automatic handling device receives the outbound task, and generates a moving route according to the outbound task: original position - target location - outbound target first conveyor - original position.
- the moving route can be changed. For example, after arriving at the first transfer machine of the outbound target, if a new task is received, there is no need to return to the original position, but directly move from the current position to the position specified by the new task.
- Step 304 the automatic handling device moves according to the movement route and executes the corresponding outbound tasks, moves from the original position to the vicinity of the target location of the temporary storage warehouse, picks up the target turnover box from the target location, and then transports the target turnover box to the outbound warehouse
- the target first conveyor makes the target turnover box enter the circular conveyor via the outbound target first conveyor.
- Step 305 after the target turnover box is picked up by the automatic handling device, the inventory status of the target storage space is updated, for example, the target storage space is marked as unoccupied.
- Step 306 after the target turnover box is transported to the first conveyor of the outbound target, the resources of the automatic transport device are released, and the automatic transport device becomes in a no-task state. If a new task is received, such as a new warehouse-in task or a new warehouse-out task, Execute new tasks, if no new tasks are received, return to the original position.
- a new task such as a new warehouse-in task or a new warehouse-out task
- Step 307 the control device judges whether there are buffer resources at the target self-service pick-up port. If there are cache resources at the target self-service pick-up port, the corresponding flow direction of the target turnover box number is assigned as the target self-service pick-up port number. If the target self-service pick-up port has no cache resources, temporarily Assign the flow direction corresponding to the target turnover box number, so that the target turnover box rotates in the ring conveyor.
- Step 308 the target turnover box passes through each runner device during the rotation process of the circular conveyor, and each runner device identifies the number of the target turnover box, and obtains the flow direction corresponding to the target turnover box number from the control device, wherein the first target turnover box
- the wheel equipment that is, the runner equipment at the junction of the target self-service pick-up port and the ring conveyor
