Among them, after determining the quantity of goods in the sorted target material box according to the above scheme, it can be judged whether the sorted target material box needs to be replenished, and the conveyor line is controlled according to the judgment result to transport the target material box to the replenishment area or Return to the warehouse area; for example, when the quantity of goods in the sorted target material box reaches the quantity that needs to be replenished, the conveyor line is controlled to transport the sorted target material box to the replenishment area for replenishment; and when the sorted target material box is When the quantity of goods in the picked target bin is greater than the quantity that needs to be replenished, the conveyor line is controlled to transport the target bin to the return area to be returned to the warehouse through the return port of the return area.

Optionally, control the conveyor line to transport the target bin to one of at least two areas of the conveyor line according to the quantity of goods. Specific steps include:

If the quantity of goods in the target bin after sorting is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, the conveyor line is controlled to transport the target bin to the replenishment area of the conveyor line.

If the quantity of goods in the target bin after sorting is greater than the first preset threshold, the conveyor line is controlled to transport the target bin to the return area of the conveyor line so that the target bin is returned to the warehouse.

For example, if the number of goods in the sorted target bin is less than or equal to 2, the conveyor line is controlled to transport the target bin to the replenishment area of the conveyor line.

It can be seen that the sorted target bins that need to be replenished are transported to the replenishment area, and those that do not need to be replenished are transported to the return area. In this way, through the operation of calling out the target bins, picking and replenishment can be completed. When goods or new material boxes are put into the warehouse, there is no need to perform the operation of calling out the target material boxes multiple times, which can improve the efficiency of warehousing goods processing.

In addition, the picking area, return area and replenishment area are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveyor line. In this way, when the conveyor line transports the target boxes to the picking area and the sorting is completed, they are conveyed in sequence through the conveyor line.

Wherein, the second preset threshold may include but is not limited to 2. In this way, when it is determined that the number of target bins transported on the conveyor line is greater than or equal to 2, in order to avoid a gap between two adjacent target bins on the conveyor line, The gap is small and the conveying speed of the conveying line is fast. As a result, the target bins at the rear of the conveying line have no time to respond whether they are transported to the return area but have already entered the replenishment area, causing the target bins to be mistakenly transported to the wrong location. Therefore, this application determines the number of target bins transported on the conveyor line, and controls the conveying speed of the conveyor line according to the number of target bins, so that a preset gap is maintained between two adjacent target bins on the conveyor line, thereby improving Target box conveying accuracy.

Optionally, before controlling the conveyor line to transport the target material box from the outlet of the conveyor line to the picking area, it also includes: receiving a picking and conveying signal, so that the conveying line is controlled according to the picking and conveying signal to transport the target material box from The shelves are transported to the outlet of the conveyor line.
