具体实施方式
正如背景技术所述，现有的分拣平台通常为单侧双工位拣选平台，当利用上述分拣平台对货物进行分拣时，存在料箱的流量小，拣选效率低的问题。经发明人研究发现，出现上述问题的原因在于：现有的分拣平台包括两个并排设置承载架以及设置在两个承载架上的传动机构，传动机构用于转移料箱并形成第一分拣线和第二分拣线。第一分拣线和第二分拣线之间设置有移载机构以使料箱在第一分拣线和第二分拣线之间进行转移，并且第一分拣线和第二分拣线位于同一高度且两者共用一个分拣入口及一个分拣出口。
然而，上料机和卸料机具备双层出入口，若分拣平台仅具有一个分拣入口和一个分拣出口，无法实现上料机和卸料机的最大利用率；进一步地，料箱在分拣平台上容易出现拥堵现象，因而导致分拣平台的料箱的流量小，拣选效率低。
针对上述技术问题，本公开实施例提供了一种分拣平台、分拣系统及拣选方法，其中分拣平台包括承载架及设置在承载架上的传动机构，传动机构用于使料箱在承载架上移动，并形成第一分拣线和第二分拣线。第一分拣线包括第一分拣入口、第二分拣出口以及位于两者之间的第一拣选位；第二分拣线包括第二分拣入口、第二分拣出 口以及位于两者之间的第二拣选位。
其中第一分拣入口设置于第二分拣入口的下方，第一分拣出口位于第二分拣出口的上方，以使分拣平台包括两个位于不同高度的分拣入口以及两个位于不同高度的分拣出口；如此设置分拣平台能够提供与卸料机、上料机双层供箱配合的双层分拣线，能够实现卸料机、上料机的最大利用率；以及能够避免料箱在分拣平台移动时出现拥堵现象，以提升料箱的流量及拣选效率。
为了使本公开实施例的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂，下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图，对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开的一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其它实施例，均属于本公开保护的范围。
实施例一
为便于描述本公开实施例，对本公开实施例所涉及的坐标系中的X轴方向、Y轴方向以及Z轴方向进行说明，其中X轴方向定义为第一方向(示例性地，第一方向可以是分拣平台的左、右方向)，Y轴方向定义为第二方向(示例性地，第二方向可以是分拣平台的方向前、后方向)，Z轴方向定义为第三方向(示例性地，第三方向可以是分拣平台的高度方向)。

卸料机400用于接收来自仓储机器人的料箱，并将料箱转移至分拣平台100上。本公开实施例中的卸料机400包括双层布置的第一卸料口、第二卸料口，第一卸料口可位于第二卸料口的上方；卸料机400工作时，两个待分拣料箱可同时从第一卸料口、第二卸料口导出，并将待分拣料箱转移至分拣平台100上。
上料机500与卸料机400均布置在分拣平台100的第二侧，沿第一方向，卸料机400和上料机500分别设置在分拣平台100的左、右两端。其中上料机500用于接收经分拣平台100分拣后的料箱，并将料箱转移至仓储机器人，并通过仓储机器人将分拣后的料箱回库。上料机500包括双层布置的第一上料口、第二上料口，第一上料口位于第二上料口上方；上料机500工作时，两个分拣后的料箱可同时从第一上料口、第二上料口转移至上料机500，并进一步将分拣后的料箱通过仓储机器人转移至转仓储货架上。
本公开实施例提供的分拣平台100包括承载架101和传动机构102，沿第二方向，承载架101包括相对的第一侧和第二侧，其中第一侧为承载架101靠近播种墙的一侧，第二侧为承载架101远离播种墙的一侧；沿第一方向，承载架101包括相对的左、右 两端。
传动机构102设置在承载架101上，传动机构102用于带动料箱在承载架101上移动，以使来自卸料机400的料箱可从分拣入口移动至相应的拣选位，经分拣后的料箱可移动至分拣出口，并转移至上料机500。
传动机构102包括第一分拣线10和第二分拣线20，第一分拣线10包括第一分拣入口和第一分拣出口；沿第二方向，第一分拣入口和第一分拣出口分别设置于承载架101的第二侧，且沿第一方向，第一分拣入口和第一分拣出口分别位于承载架101的左、右两端。第一拣选位16设置在第一分拣入口和第一分拣出口之间，即待拣选料箱由第一分拣入口进入第一分拣线10，经过第一拣选位16拣选后，可从第一拣选出口移出第一分拣线10。
第二分拣线20包括第二分拣入口和第二分拣出口，其中第二拣选位26设置在第二分拣入口和第二分拣出口之间，第二分拣入口与第一分拣入口位于承载架101的同一侧，第一分拣入口位于第二分拣入口的下方；第二分拣出口与第一分拣出口位于承载架101的同一侧，且第二分拣出口位于第一分拣出口的下方。
换言之，第一分拣线10中设置有上坡，以使第一分拣入口和第一分拣出口位于不同的高度上，第二分拣线20设置有下坡，以使第二分拣入口和第二分拣出口位于不同高度上。
在上述实施例的基础上，本公开实施例提供的分拣系统还包括服务器，服务器与卸料机400、上料机500信号连接，且服务器配置为根据货物订单信息确定待拣选的料箱，以确定料箱的拣选位信息，以及向卸料机400、上料机500发送指令；卸料机400配置为接收指令后并将料箱转移至与该料箱对应的分拣线上，上料机500配置为接收指令后，可使分拣后的料箱通过上料机500回库。
具体地，利用本公开实施例提供的分拣系统进行分拣货物时，服务器向卸料机400和上料机500发送指令，卸料机400的第一卸料口与第一分拣入口相对，以使从第一卸料口导出的料箱通过第一分拣入口进入第一分拣线10进行分拣。卸料机400的第二卸料口与第二分拣入口相对，以使从第二卸料口导出的料箱通过第二分拣入口进入第二分拣线20进行分拣。
上料机500的第一上料口与分拣平台100的第一分拣出口对接，以使经过第一拣选位16分拣后料箱，由第一分拣出口流出并转移至上料机500，进而回库。第二上料口与分拣平台100的第二分拣出口对接，以使经过第二拣选位26分拣后的料箱，由第二分拣出口流出并转移至上料机500，进而回库。
与现有技术中第一分拣线10和第二分拣线20位于同一高度且共用一个分拣入口及一个分拣出口的方案相比，本公开实施例提供的分拣系统，其分拣平台100包括两个位于不同高度的分拣入口以及两个位于不同高度的分拣出口，如此能够提供与卸料机400、上料机500双层供箱配合的双层分拣线，能够实现卸料机400、上料机500的最大利用率以及避免料箱在分拣平台100移动时出现拥堵现象，以提升料箱的流量及拣选效率。
进一步地，沿第二方向，第一拣选位16和第二拣选位26可设置在承载架101的同一侧，并且第一分拣线10和第二分拣线20可通过爬坡及降坡的方式使第一拣选位16和第二拣选位26位于同一高度上；如此设置，保障了分拣人员的拣选舒适度、作业流程的顺畅性，以及可便于合理布置播种墙，从而提升拣选效率。
需要说明的是，为进一步提升分拣系统的分拣效率，本公开实施例中的分拣系统还包括与服务器信号连接的辅助组件，辅助组件包括显示器、扫码器以及读码器，其中每个料箱配置有至少一个标签，且标签能够被扫码器和读码器识别。
示例性地，第一拣选位16和第二拣选位26均设置有显示器和扫码器，其中显示 器与扫码器信号连接，当料箱移动至第一拣选位16或第二拣选位26后，分拣人员使用扫码器(例如，扫码器可以是扫码枪)识别料箱的标签，该料箱中待拣选的货物信息被显示在显示器中，分拣人员根据待拣选的货物信息可快速对料箱中的货物进行分拣；如此设置可提升分拣效率。
本公开实施例的传动机构102形成的第一分拣线10和第二分拣线20包括多段，以使料箱在传动机构102上移动时，具有不同的移动路径；如下对本公开实施例提供的第一分拣线10和第二分拣线20进行详细描述。
参阅图2和图3，沿第一分拣入口至第一分拣出口的方向，第一分拣线10包括依次设置的第一导入段11、第一传输段12、第二传输段13、爬坡段14和第一导出段15；其中，第一导入段11的一端与第一传输段12的一端衔接，且两者之间形成直角结构；第一导入段11的另一端形成第一分拣入口，并且第一导入段11与卸料机400的第一卸料口配合设置，第一分拣入口与第一卸料口位于同一高度上，以使待分拣料箱从第一分拣入口进入第一导入段11，即第一导入段11用于将料箱引至第一分拣线10。
进一步地，第一导出段15的一端与爬坡段14的一端衔接，且两者之间形成直角结构；第一导出段15的另一端形成第一分拣出口，并且第一导出段15与上料机500的第一上料口配合设置，第一分拣出口与第一上料口位于同一高度上，以使待分拣后的料箱从第一导出段15、第一分拣出口转移至上料机500上，即第一导出段15用于将料箱引出第一分拣线10。
第一传输段12、第二传输段13、爬坡段14位于第一导入段11和第一导出段15之间，沿第二方向，第一传输段12位于第二传输段13的一侧，即第一传输段12与第二传输段13之间形成直角结构，料箱在第一传输段12移动时，需要进行侧向移动(示例性地，本公开实施例中的侧向移动指的是料箱沿第二方向移动)，才能转移至第二传输段13上。
第一传输段12、第二传输段13的长度方向沿第一方向延伸，第一传输段12远离第一导入段11的一端用于与第二传输段13连接，第二传输段13和爬坡段14均位于第一传输段12的同一侧，且沿第一方向，第一传输段12和爬坡段14相对平面的投影位于同一直线上。
在上述实施例的基础上，第一拣选位16形成在第一传输段12上，传动机构102在第一传输段12上具有多个传动辊，多个传动辊沿第一方向间隔布置，且传动辊具有动力源，能够带动料箱在第一传输段12上移动。
进一步地，为便于分拣人员对料箱进行拣选，第一传输段12上的多个传动辊均呈倾斜布置，沿第二方向，传动辊朝向播种墙的一端低于其另一端的高度，以使料箱在第一传输段12上移动时，料箱的箱口可向外侧倾斜，可便于分拣人员分拣料箱内的货物，提升分拣效率。
本公开实施例中传动机构102还包第一移载机构和第二移载机构，其中第一移载机构、第二移载机构用于改变料箱的移动方向。第一移载机构设置在第一传输段12靠近第二传输段13的一端，即第一移载机构设置在第一传输段12和第二传输段13之间形成的直角结构处。
第一移载机构用于将料箱从第一传输段12转移至第二传输段13上。例如，第一移载机构可以是顶升移载机构，当料箱移动至顶升移载机构的位置时，顶升移载机构动作，并向料箱提供侧向力，侧向力的作用方向由承载架的第一侧指向第二侧，以使料箱在抬升力的作用下可从第一传输段12移动至第二传输段13上。
料箱经第一拣选位16分拣后，经第一移载机构后转移至第二传输段13上，传动机构102在第二传输段13上间隔设置有多个传动辊，且此传动辊具有动力源能够带动料箱在第二传输段13移动，可使料箱移动至爬坡段14、并经第一导出段15移出第一 分拣线10。
第一导出段15与第二传输段13位于不同高度上，两者通过爬坡段14将料箱从第二传输段13提升至第一导出段15。具体地，爬坡段14可设置有第一传动带，且第一传动带配置有动力源，能够带动料箱爬坡，以将料箱从第二传输段13所在的高度提升至第一导出段15所在的高度。
第一导出段15与爬坡段14之间设置有衔接段，衔接段可视为爬坡段14的水平延伸段。由于爬坡段14和第一导出段15之间形成直角结构，料箱需在此处通过第二移载机构进行侧向移动。
第二移载机构设置在第一导出段15靠近爬坡段14的一端，且第二移载机构用于改变料箱的移动方向，可使料箱从爬坡段14移动至第一导出段15。
进一步地，第二移载机构可以是直角移载机构，直角移载机构包括多个用于转向的辊子，其中靠近爬坡段设置的辊子，其转动方向与料箱在爬坡段14上的移动方向一致；靠近第一导出段15设置的辊子，其转动方向与料箱在第一导出段15的移动方向一致。当料箱移动至第二移载机构上时，在第二移载机构的作用下料箱可从爬坡段14移动至第一导出段15，从而移出第一分拣线10。
参阅图2和图4，本公开实施例中沿第二分拣入口至第二分拣出口的方向，第二分拣线20包括依次设置的第二导入段21、第三传输段22、下坡段23、第四传输段24和第二导出段25；其中，第二导入段21位于第一导入段11的上方，第二导入段21的一端与第三传输段22的一端连接，且两者之间形成直角结构。第二导入段21的另一端形成第二分拣入口，并且第二导入段21与卸料机400的第二卸料口配合设置,第二卸料口与第二分拣入口处于同一高度上，以使待分拣料箱从第二分拣入口进入第二导入段21，即第二导入段21用于将料箱引至第二分拣线20。
第二导出段25位于第一导出段15的下方，第二导出段25的一端与第四传输段24的一端连接，且两者形成直角结构；第二导出段25的另一端形成第二分拣出口，并且第二导出段25与上料机500的第二上料口配合设置，第二上料口与第二分拣出口位于同一高度上，以使待分拣后的料箱从第二导出段25、第二分拣出口转移至上料机500上，即第二导出段25用于将料箱引出第二分拣线20。
第三传输段22、下坡段23及第四传输段24设置于第二导入段21和第二导出段25之间，沿第二方向，第三传输段22设置在第一传输段12的一侧，即第三传输段22与第二传输段13同侧布置。第四传输段24和下坡段23均位于第三传输段22的同一侧，且沿第一方向，第四传输段24和下坡段23相对平面的投影位于同一直线上。
进一步地，第三传输段22与第一传输段12位于不同的高度上，例如第三传输段22位于第一传输段12的上方，第三传输段22远离第二导入段21的一端用于与下坡段23连接，下坡段23与第四传输段24连接，如此可降低第四传输段24所在的高度。
在上述实施例的基础上，传动机构102在第三传输段22上设置有多个传动辊，多个传动辊沿第一方向水平间隔布置，且传动辊具有动力源，能够带动料箱在第三传输段22上移动。第三传输段22与下坡段23之间形成直角结构，料箱移动至第三传输段22的末端时需要进行侧向移动，以使料箱从第三传输段22转移至下坡段23。
例如，第三传输段22和下坡段23之间设置有直角移载机构，当料箱移动至位于第三传输段22末端的直角移载机构时，可通过直角移载机构改变料箱的移动方向，以使料箱从第三传输段22移动至下坡段23。
传动机构102在下坡段23设置有多个传动辊，传动辊可以是无动力源传动辊，多个传动辊间隔设置并形成导向斜面，在重力作用下料箱可从下坡段23移动至第四传输段24上。可理解的是，传动机构102还可在下坡段23设置第二传动带，本实施例对此不加以限制。
第二拣选位26形成在第四传输段24上，传动机构102在第四传输段24布置有多个传动辊，多个传动辊沿第一方向水平间隔布置，且传动辊具有动力源，能够带动料箱在第一传输段12上移动。
由于第四传输段24与第二导出段25之间形成直角结构，料箱移动至第四传输段24的末端时需要侧向移动，本公开实施例在第四传输段24与第二导出段25之间设置有直角移载机构，并通过直角移载机构改变料箱的移动方向，以使料箱从第四传输段24移动至第二导出段25，从而将料箱移出第二分拣线20。
需要说明的是，在本公开实施例中的分拣平台100中，第一导入段11、第一传输段12、第二传输段13、第四传输段24以及第二导出段25可位于同一高度上；第二导入段21、第三传输段22及第一导出段15可位于同一高度上。
如此设置，可使第一分拣线10的第一拣选位16、第二分拣线20的第二拣选位26处于同一高度上，以便于分拣人员对货物进行分拣，以及第一分拣入口、第二分拣出口处于同一高度上，第二分拣入口、第一分拣出口处于同一高度上，以便于卸料机400将料箱转移至分拣平台100和将分拣后的料箱转移至上料机500，从而提升拣选效率。
在另一些实施例中，第一分拣线10和第二分拣线20之间设置有移载机构，以使在第一分拣线10上移动的料箱可转移至第二分拣线20上。例如，传动机构102还包括第三移载机构，第三移载机构设置在第二传输段13上，且第三移载机构与第四传输段24相对，第三移载机构用于将料箱从第二传输段13转移至第四传输段24。
例如第三移载机构可以是顶升移载机构，第三移载机构可参照第一移载机构进行设置，此处不再赘述。当料箱移动至位于第二传输段13的第三移载机构处，第三顶升移载机构动作，并向料箱提供侧向力，以使料箱从第二传输段13移动至第四传输段24，从而实现料箱从第一分拣线10转移至第二分拣线20。
若料箱的分拣路径需经过第一拣选位16和第二拣选位26，料箱从第一分拣入口进入第一导入段11、第一传输段12，并经过第一拣选位16拣选后通过第一移载机构进入第二传输段13，料箱经过第三移载机构时，第三移载机构将料箱转移至第二分拣线20的第四传输段24，料箱经过第二拣选位26拣选后，可移出第二分拣线20。
进一步地，参阅图1和图4，本公开实施例的第四传输段24还设置有异常料箱出口27，并且第四传输段24还设置有第四移载机构，第四移载机构设置在异常料箱出口27处，第四移载机构配置为能够将异常料箱从第四传输段24转移至异常料箱出口27，进而移出第一分拣线10和/或第二分拣线20。
例如，异常料箱出口27可设置在第四传输段24上，并避开第二拣选位26设置。第四移载机构可以是顶升移载机构，当异常料箱移动至顶升移载机构时，顶升移载机构动作并向异常料箱提供侧向力，异常料箱在此侧向力作用下移动至异常料箱出口27。
优选地，异常料箱出口27可设置在第四传输段24的末端，并与第二导出段25相对设置，如此设置，可通过在第四传输段24的末端设置有一个移载机构，并能够控制正常的料箱从第四传输段24移动至第二导出段25上，或者控制异常料箱从第四传输段移动至异常料箱出口27。如此设置，可节省分拣平台的制作成本以及优化其布局。
需要说明的是，异常料箱可以是来自第一分拣线10，设置在第一分拣线10上的读码器未能识别到料箱的标签，则判断此料箱是否为异常料箱。若判断此料箱为异常料箱，当异常料箱经过第三移载机构时，第三移载机构可将料箱从第一分拣线10的第二传输段13转移至第二分拣线20的第四传输段24；进一步地，当料箱经过第四移载机构时，第四移载机构将料箱转移至异常料箱出口27，从而将异常料箱移出分拣平台100。
如此设置，可将异常料箱从异常料箱出口27移出分拣平台100，可避免料箱在分拣平台上移动出现时出现拥堵现象，进一步提升料箱的在分拣平台100上的流量，提 升拣选效率。
需要说明的是，本实施例中的第一移载机构、第二移载机构、第三移载机构以及第四移载机构中，第一移载机构、第三移载机构以及第四移载机构为顶升移载机构，第二移载机构为直角移载机构，仅是对本实施例具体实施方案的举例说明，并不代表对其进行限制。例如，根据料箱在第一分拣线10、第二分拣线20上的转向需求以及结合2转向处的布置空间，可选择性地在各转向处设置顶升移载机构或者直角移载机构。
实施例二
如图5所示，本公开实施例提供了一种拣选方法，此拣选方法基于实施例一中的分拣系统所实施，其包括以下步骤：
步骤S100:确定分拣料箱对应的拣选位。
具体地，分拣系统获取待拣选货物订单信息，并将货物订单信息传输至分拣系统的服务器，服务器根据货物订单信息，将货物订单下发至拣选位，进而确定货物订单对应的待分拣料箱对应的拣选位。例如待分拣料箱的拣选位为第一拣选位16和/或第二拣选位26。
步骤S200:根据拣选位确定待分拣料箱对应的目标卸料口。
具体地，分拣系统的服务器根据货物订单信息确定待分拣料箱的拣选位后，并确定拣选位对应的目标卸料口；目标卸料口包括第一卸料口和第二卸料口，第一卸料口可与第一分拣线10的第一分拣入口对接，将待分拣料箱传输至第一拣选位16和/或第二拣选位26，第二卸料口可与第二分拣线20的第二分拣入口对接，将待分拣料箱传输至第二拣选位26。
需要说明的是，当待分拣料箱的目标卸料口确定后，相应的分拣后的料箱的目标上料口也随之确定，例如，若目标卸料口为第一卸料口，相应的目标出料口为第一上料口。
示例性地，在一种实施例中，当拣选位为第一拣选位16时，则确定待分拣料箱的目标卸料口为第一卸料口，经过分拣后的料箱对应的目标上料口为上料机500的第一上料口，且第一卸料口和第一上料口分别对应第一分拣线10，第一分拣线10的第一分拣入口与第一卸料口对接，第一分拣出口与第一上料口对接。
例如，当拣选位为第一拣选位16时，料箱在第一分拣线10上确定的移动路线为:经第一分拣入口进入第一分拣线10，并依次通过第一导入段11、第一传输段12、第二传输段13、爬坡段14和第一导出段15，并通过第一分拣出口移出第一分拣线10，从而料箱完成第一拣选位16的分拣。
在另一种实施例中，当拣选位为第二拣选位26时，则确定待分拣料箱的目标卸料口为第二卸料口；经过分拣后的料箱对应的目标上料口为上料机500的第二上料口，且第二卸料口、第二上料口分别对应第二分拣线20，第二分拣线20的第二分拣入口与第二卸料口对接，第二分拣出口与第二上料口对接。
例如，当拣选位为第二拣选位26时，料箱在第二分拣线20上确定的移动路线为:经第二分拣入口进入第二分拣线20，并依次通过第二导入段21、第三传输段22、下坡段23、第四传输段24和第一导出段15，并通过第二分拣出口移出第二分拣线20，从而料箱完成第二拣选位26的分拣。
在又一实施例中，当拣选位为第一拣选位16和第二拣选位26后，则确定待分拣料箱的目标卸料口为第一卸料口；经分拣后的料箱对应的目标上料口为第二上料口，其中第一卸料口与第一分拣线10的第一分拣入口对接，第二上料口与第二分拣线20的第二分拣出口对接。
例如，当拣选位为第一拣选位16、第二拣选位26时，料箱确定的移动路线为:经 第一分拣入口进入第一分拣线10，并依次通过第一导入段11、第一传输段12、第二传输段13，并通过第三移载机构由第二传输段13进入第二分拣线20。
在第二分拣线20上的移动路线为：依次经过第四传输段24和第二导出段25，并通过第二分拣出口移出第二分拣线20，从而料箱完成第一拣选位16、第二拣选位26的分拣；即当拣选位为第一拣选位16和第二拣选位26，待分拣料箱的运行路线为依次通过第一导入段11、第一传输段12、第二传输段13、第三移载机构、第四传输段24和第二导出段25。
步骤S300:控制卸料机400将待分拣料箱通过目标卸料口，传输至目标卸料口对应的分拣入口。
具体地，卸料机400配置为根据指令，将其目标卸料口与对应的分拣入口相对，以使料箱通过目标卸料口传输至与其相对应的分拣入口，从而使料箱按照设定的运行路线，移动至相应的拣选位。
在上述实施例的基础上，本公开实施例提供的拣选方法，还包括：
当待分拣料箱在第一拣选位16拣选完成后，根据第二传输段13上的读码器的读取结果判断待分拣料箱是否为第二拣选位26对应的料箱，根据判断结果控制料箱沿第一分拣线10继续移动或者将料箱转移至第二分拣线20的第二拣选位26进行拣选。如此设置，与料箱需要分别从两个分拣口进入两个不同的分拣位相比，本公开实施例可使料箱仅通过一次进入分拣口，可实现对料箱在第一拣选位16和第二拣选位26进行分拣，提升料箱的拣选效率。
具体地，当待分拣料箱在第一拣选位16拣选完成后，可经过第一移载机构进入第二传输段13，第二传输段13设置有读码器，可利用读码器对料箱的标签进行识别，根据读码器的读取结果判断该料箱是否需要经过第二拣选位26进行拣选。
当料箱需要经过第二拣选位26进行拣选时，当料箱移动至第三移载机构时，第三移载机构动作，可将料箱从第二传输段13转移至第四传输段24，料箱在第四传输段24继续移动，并经过第二拣选位26拣选后，从第二分拣出口移出分拣平台100，通过上料机500回库。
当料箱不需要经过第二拣选位26进行拣选时，则料箱需继续在沿第一分拣线10移动，即料箱需要依次通过第二传输段13、爬坡段14和第一导出段15，并由第一分拣出口移出分拣平台100，通过上料机500回库。
本公开实施例提供的拣选方法，还包括利用读码器对料箱的标签进行识别，若读码器无法识别料箱的标签，则确定该料箱为异常料箱，并控制料箱运输至异常料箱出口27。如此设置，可将异常料箱从异常料箱出口27移出分拣平台100，可避免料箱在分拣平台上移动出现时出现拥堵现象，进一步提升料箱的在分拣平台100上的流量，提升拣选效率。
具体地，第一分拣线10和第二分拣线20上设置有多个读码器，多个读码器分别间隔设置在第一分拣线10和第二分拣线20上。异常料箱出口27设置在第二分拣线20的第四传输段24上，对于位于第二分拣线20上的料箱，可利用设置在第二分拣入口与异常料箱出口27之间的读码器识别料箱的标签，并判断该料箱是否为异常料箱，若是，当异常料箱移动至第四传输段24的第四移载机构处，第四移载机构动作并能够将异常料箱运输至异常料箱出口27。
进一步地，对于位于第一分拣线10上的料箱，可利用设置在第一分拣入口与第三移载机构之间的读码器对料箱的标签进行识别，例如可利用设置在第一传输段上的读码器对料箱的标签进行识别，并判断该料箱是否为异常料箱。若该料箱为异常料箱，当异常料箱移动至第三移载机构处，第三移载机构动作可使该异常料箱从第二传输段转移至第四传输段，异常料箱在第四传输段继续移动，当异常料箱移动至第四传输段 24的第四移载机构处，第四移载机构动作且能够将异常料箱运输至异常料箱出口27。
