具体实施方式
现在将参照附图来详细描述本公开的各种示例性实施例。应注意到:除非另外具体说明,否则在这些实施例中阐述的部件和步骤的相对布置、数字表达式和数值不限制本公开的范围。
以下对至少一个示例性实施例的描述实际上仅仅是说明性的,决不作为对本公开及其应用或使用的任何限制。
对于相关领域普通技术人员已知的技术、方法和设备可能不作详细讨论,但在适当情况下,所述技术、方法和设备应当被视为说明书的一部分。
在这里示出和讨论的所有例子中,任何具体值应被解释为仅仅是示例性的,而不是作为限制。因此,示例性实施例的其它例子可以具有不同的值。
应注意到:相似的标号和字母在下面的附图中表示类似项,因此,一旦某一项在一个附图中被定义,则在随后的附图中不需要对其进行进一步讨论。
随着机器人领域的不断发展,逐渐从“人到货”式拣货模式转换至现有的“货到人”模式,货架到人是指机器人搬运货架到工作站,完成待拣选任务;货箱到人是指机器人搬运货箱到工作站完成拣选任务。
相关技术中,物流或仓储系统中的拣选采用单业态拣选模式。即,同一个仓库中执行将货架或者货箱搬运至工作站的机器人通常为同一种类的机器人。如图1所示,第一仓库中全是A货架,机器人a可以通过在A货架上拿取货物并搬运至工作站,或者,第二仓库中全是B货架,机器人b可以通过将B货架搬运至工作站。实际中,A货架上存放的货物种类与B货架上存放的货物种类不同,例如,A货架上存放的货物为散件货物,B货架上存放的货物为整箱存储的货物。操作人员在工作站只能进行单业态的拣选,例如,拆零拣选的项目只能适配拆零拣选,整箱拣选只能整箱拣选,这就造成了拣选效率低,成本高的问题。另外,各个机器人之间的联合调度性也相对较差。
基于此,本公开实施例提供一种仓储系统、仓储系统调度方法、装置和电子设备,以解决相关技术存在的上述问题。
参照图2所示,本公开实施例的仓储系统包括工作站区、存储区(又称仓库存储区)和控制装置。
其中,工作站区包括多个工作站,多个工作站中,至少一个工作站为混合工作站,至少一个工作站为第一工作站,至少一个工作站为第二工作站。每个工作站均被配置为接收订单,及拣选订单命中的货物。其中,货物至少包括第一类货物和第二类货物。第一类货物可以包括但不限于散件货物或整箱存储的货物,第二类货物包括但不限于料箱存储的货物。
可以理解的是,混合工作站被配置为接收订单及供订单命中货物的拣选,该订单命中第一类货物和第二类货物。例如,该订单命中散件货物、整箱存储的货物、料箱存储的货物中至少两种类型的货物。可以理解,混合工作站中的工作平台可进行至少两种类型货物拣选工作。该混合工作站中的工作平台可以称为混检工作平台(例如第一混检工作平台)。
第一工作站被配置为接收订单及供订单命中货物的拣选,该订单命中第一类货物及第二类货物中的其中一种,示例性地,该订单命中第二类货物,例如,该订单命中料箱存储的货物。第一工作站中的第一工作平台可以进行一种类型货物的拣选工作,则可以理解的是,该第一工作站为单业态工作站。
第二工作站被配置为接收订单以及供订单命中货物的拣选,该订单命中第一类货物及第二类货物中的另一种,示例性地,该订单命中第一类货物,例如,该订单命中散件货物或整箱存储的货物。可以理解的是,第二工作站中的第二工作平台可以进行散件货物或整箱存储的货物这两小类的拣选工作,该第二工作平台可以称为混检工作平台(例如第二混检工作平台)。则可以理解的是,该第二工作站为多业态工作站。
本申请实施例的存储区被配置为存储至少一个第一类载具和至少一个第二类载具,其中,第一类载具被配置为承载第一类货物,第二类载具被配置为承载第二类货物;至少一个第一类搬运设备,被配置为基于搬运指令将承载有第一类货物的第一类载具搬运至混合工作站或第二工作站;至少一个第二类搬运设备,被配置为基于搬运指令将料箱从第二类载具取出并搬运至混合工作站或第一工作站,料箱存放有订单命中的第二类货物;
控制装置,与第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备连接,分别向第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备发送搬运指令。需要说明的是,控制装置可以是控制服务器,也可以是电子设备(例如终端设备),本申请实施例对此不作 限制,只要能够接收订单对应的调度任务,并向对应的搬运设备发送搬运指令,以使相应的搬运设备执行调度任务即可。以下均以控制装置为控制服务器为例进行说明。
在一些示例中,第一类载具可包括至少一个第一载具和至少一个第二载具,第二类载具可包括至少一个第三载具。其中,第一载具被配置为存放散件货物,第二载具被配置为存放整箱存储的货物,第三载具被配置为存放料箱存储的货物。
因此,当工作站区命中的货物包括散件货物、整箱存储的货物及料箱存储的货物这三种货物时,存储区被配置为存储至少一个第一载具、至少一个第二载具和至少一个第三载具。
相应地,第一类搬运设备可以包括至少一个第一搬运设备和至少一个第二搬运设备,第二类搬运设备包括至少一个第三搬运设备。
其中,至少一个第一搬运设备被配置为基于第一搬运指令将第一载具从存储区搬运至所述混合工作站或者第二工作,其中,第一载具存放有订单命中的散件货物。至少一个第二搬运设备被配置为基于第二搬运指令将第二载具从存储区搬运至所述混合工作站或者第二工作站,其中,第二载具中存放有订单命中的整箱存储的货物。
至少一个第三搬运设备被配置为基于第三搬运指令将料箱从第三载具取出并搬运至混合工作站或第一工作站,其中,料箱内存放有订单命中的货物。可以理解,该货物为料箱存储的货物。
示例性地,控制服务器与第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备和第三搬运设备连接,分别向第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备和第三搬运设备发送搬运指令。可以理解,该搬运指令也可称为搬运任务。
本公开实施例的仓储系统中,工作站区接收的订单可以命中至少两种类型的货物,存放这些货物的载具均位于同一存储区,控制服务器基于接收到的订单可以呼叫第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备,例如,将存放有命中货物的第一类载具和第二类载具上的料箱从存储区搬运至工作站区的工作站进行拣选处理,例如,控制服务器基于接收到的订单可以同时呼叫第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备,将第一载具、第二载具、第三载具上的料箱中的至少两者从存储区搬运至工作站区进行拣选处理。
可见,该仓储系统通过不同类型的搬运设备的配合调度,将至少两种类型的货物搬运至工作站区,例如搬运至工作站区的混合工作站,进行至少两种业态的拣选,与传统的单业态仓储系统相比,拓展了仓储系统的拣选业态方式。另外,各搬运设备之间可同时运行、联合调度,提高了出库及拣选效率。
为了便于更好地理解,下面参照图2至图27,结合具体实施例详细说明本公开的仓储系统的具体结构及其工作原理。
参见图2,本公开实施例的仓储系统包括工作站区和存储区。
在一些实施例中,工作站区和存储区是人为的在仓库内划分出来,以承担不同任务的不同区域,该仓库可以是由建筑物构成的室内空间,也可以为开放式的露天室外空间,主要取决于所存放的货物种类,本文在此不再限定。
此外,工作站区和存储区的面积大小可以相同也可以不同,基于仓库的面积和实际仓储需要来由用户设定,本文在此也不加以限定。
工作站区内设置有多个工作站,其中,至少一个工作站为第一工作站,至少一个工作站为第二工作站,至少一个工作站为混合工作站。其中,第一工作站和第二工作站分别接收以及拣选其中一种类型的货物,例如,第一工作站接收并拣选订单,该订单命中第二类货物(例如料箱存储的货物)第二工作站接收并拣选订单命中的货物,该订单命中的货物为第一类货物(例如散件货物或整箱存储的货物)。混合工作站被配置为接收订单,该订单至少命中第一类货物及第二类货物,例如,该订单命中散件货物、整箱存储的货物、料箱存储的货物中至少两种类型的货物,也就是说,该混合工作站被配置为拣选处理至少两种类型的货物。
以商场或超市等零售行业为例,散件货物可以为指甲油、洗发水、牙膏等日用品。整箱存储的货物可以为卫生纸、复印纸等货物。整箱存储的货物可以为食品或者购买指定货物是赠送的附赠品,比如,购买一箱卫生纸即可赠送一卷手纸或者一瓶矿泉水。当然,本文在此只是举例说明散件货物、整箱存储的货物、整箱存储的货物,当并不仅限于上述货物,实践中,本领域技术人员基于该仓储系统的实际使用场景设定不同类型货物。
混合工作站至少包括工作平台以及被配置为包装货物的包装袋或包装盒,以供工作人员或拣选机器人拣选订单使用。
混合工作站可以设置具有显示功能的显示装置和控制面板等,显示装置被配置为显示当前需要处理的订单,工作人员或拣选机器人通过显示装置自带的控制面板或者独立显示装置配置的控制面板发送该订单指令。
存储区内存储有第一类载具和第二类载具,其中,第一类载具被配置为存放第一类货物,第二类载具被泪痣为存放第二类货物。示例性地,第一类载具包括至少一个第一载具和至少一个第二载具。第二类载具包括至少一个第三载具。其中,第一载具被配置为存放散件货物,第二载具被配置为存放整箱存储的货物,第三载具被配置为存放料箱存储的货物。
第一载具可以为常规货架,即由支腿构件和垂直依次间隔设置在支腿构件上的两个层板,为了便于拣选,层板上可以通过隔板划分出不同区域,每个区域排放不同种类的货物。
第二载具也可以为与第一载具相同结构的常规货架,还可以为托盘,整箱存储的货物可以堆叠码放在托盘上,以实现密集存放的目的。
第三载具也可以为与第一载具相同结构的常规货架,也可以为垂直依次间隔固定在仓库的墙面上的隔板等。
继续参见图2,本公开的仓储系统还包括第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备,该第一类搬运设备被配置为基于搬运指令将承载有第一类货物的第一类载具搬运至混合工作站或第二工作站;至少一个第二类搬运设备,被配置为基于搬运指令将料箱从第二类载具取出并搬运至混合工作站或第一工作站,料箱存放有订单命中的第二类货物。
在一些示例中,第一类搬运设备包括至少一个第一搬运设备,第一搬运设备被配置为基于第一搬运指令将存放有订单命中的散件货物的第一载具从存储区搬运至混合工作站或者第二工作站。
详细地,参见图3,在一些实施例中,第一搬运设备1包括第一行走机构10和顶升机构11。其中,顶升机构11固设在第一行走机构10上,其顶端设置了承载盘12。该图3中的顶升机构仅作为举例说明,其他可起到升降功能的机构均在本公开的保护范围内。
第一搬运设备1被配置为驱动顶升机构11带动承载盘12上升至举起第一载具,再驱动第一行走机构10行走至工作站区,然后驱动顶升机构11带动承载盘12下降至将第一载具放置在工作站区,第一搬运设备1可以在工作站区待命或离开工作站区达到指定位置。
待拣选完成后,第一搬运设备1还被配置为将拣选完成的第一载具从送回存储区。
在一个实施例中,第一搬运设备1整体为机器人AGV,例如,该第一搬运设备1可以是第三机器人(以便于与下文提到的第一机器人和第二机器区分开)。
顶升机构11可以为气缸或液压缸的活塞杆,其缸体固设在第二行走机构30上,承载盘12固设在活塞杆的 自由端,随着液压油或气体进出各自的缸体,活塞杆带动承载盘12升降,以托举料箱。
顶升机构11还可以为由若干个杆件铰接组合承载的可伸缩连杆机构。当然,升降架还可以包括支架、电机和动力传动机构,该动力传动机构的作用是将电机的转动转化为直线运动的传动机构,比如齿轮齿条传动机构、带传动机构、链传动机构等。
详细地,升降架采用齿轮齿条传动机构时,其齿条沿竖直方向延伸且固定连接在支架上,与该齿条啮合的齿轮以可转动地方式设置在承载盘12上。
启动电机后,其驱动齿轮带动承载板12沿着齿条的延伸方向升降。
升降架采用带传动机构时,其两个传动轮垂直间隔且以可转动地方式设置在支架上,其传动带张紧在两个传动轮上,承载盘12固设在传动带上。
启动电机后,其驱动其中一个传动轮转动,继而使传动带带动承载盘12升降。升降架采用链传动机构时,其两个链轮垂直间隔且以可转动地方式设置在支架上,其链条张紧在两个链轮上,承载盘12固设在链条上。
启动电机后,其驱动其中一个链轮转动,继而使链条带动承载盘12升降。
继续参见图2,本公开实施例的第一类搬运设备还包括至少一个第二搬运设备,第二搬运设备被配置为基于第二搬运指令将第二载具从所述存储区搬运至混合工作站或第二工作站,该第二载具内存放有订单命中的整箱存储的货物。
需要说明的是,第二搬运设备的具体结构及其工作原理与第一搬运设备基本相同,例如,第二搬运设备也可以是第三机器人,区别仅在于两者所搬运的载具上存放的货物类型不同。为了保持文本简洁,本文在此不再赘述。
本公开实施例的第二类搬运设备可包括至少一个第三搬运设备,第三搬运设备被配置为基于第三搬运指令将料箱从所述第三载具取出并搬运至所述混合工作站或第一工作站,其中,该料箱内存放有订单命中的货物。
在其中一些示例中,第三搬运设备可以为单个设备,该设备兼具自移动功能和取放料箱的功能。也就是说,该设备独自可以取出第三载具上的存放有订单命中的货物的料箱,并且还可以将取出的料箱从存储区搬运至混合工作站。当然基于其双重功能,料箱搬运系统独自也可以将拣选完成的料箱从混合工作站搬运至存储区并放置在第三载具上的空闲下暂存位上。例如,至少一个第二类搬运设备包括第一机器人,即,该第三搬运设备包括第一机器人,所述第一机器人被配置为基于搬运指令,将料箱从所述第二类载具取出并搬运至所述混合工作站或所述第一工作站。
在一些示例中,参见图4,第三搬运设备2即第一机器人包括门架20、第二行走机构21和取放料箱机构22。
其中,门架20固设在第二行走机构21上,第二行走机构21被配置为带动门架20在地面上行走,取放料箱机构22设置在门架20上。
详细地,门架20包括相对平行设置的两个立柱200以及连接两个立柱200的横梁201。
当然,第二行走机构21也可以为其他任何可以基于搬运指令带动门架20及其上取放料箱机构22从当前位置运动至目标位置的其他小车。
取放料箱机构22包括基板、U字型伸缩框和两个夹爪。其中,基板通过第一升降机构以可升降地方式设置在门架的两个立柱上,U字型伸缩框通过第一级伸缩机构以可伸缩地方式设置在基板上,两个夹爪通过第二级伸缩机构以可伸缩地方式设置在U字型伸缩框上,且两个夹爪受控于抓取驱动机构向靠近或远离彼此的方向运动,以抓取或松开料箱。
第一升降驱动机构驱动基板相对于门架升降,以带动其上的U字型伸缩框相对于门架升降至目标料箱所在的垂直坐标。
基于这种结构,第三搬运设备2的工作原理为:
当收到第三搬运指令时,首先,第三搬运设备2的第二行走机构21从当前位置行走至第三载具上目标料箱所在的水平坐标位置,第一升降机构带动下层的取放料箱机构22达到目标料箱的竖直坐标位置。
其次,取放料箱机构22的第一级伸缩机构驱动U字型伸缩框相对于基板向靠近第三载具的方向伸出第一距离,然后第二伸缩机构驱动两个夹爪相对于U字型伸缩框向靠近第三载具的方向伸出第二距离,以使两个夹爪位于目标料箱两侧,再由抓取驱动机构驱动两个夹爪向靠近彼此的方向运动至夹紧目标料箱上方的料箱,最后第一级伸缩机构和第二级伸缩机构先后或同时驱动U字型伸缩框和两个夹爪向远离第三载具的方向回缩至将料箱放置在基板上,或者保持当前状态。
第二行走机构21带动第三搬运设备2从存储区达到工作站区,取放料箱机构22反向实施上述从第三载具上取出料箱的过程即可将料箱放置在混合工作站上,供拣选处理。
可以理解,待拣选完成后第三搬运设备2也可以将料箱送还回第三载具上。
可以理解,上述料箱搬运设备的取放料箱机构可以为吸盘式、伸缩臂、抓取使取放料箱机构中任一种。
在另外一些实施例中,该第三搬运设备可以为由两个搬运设备组合而成例如,该第三搬运设备包括第一料箱搬运设备和第二料箱搬运设备。
作为第一种实现方式,参见图2,第一料箱搬运设备被配置为将存放有订单命中的货物的料箱从第三载具上取出并放置到第二料箱搬运设备上,第二料箱搬运设备被配置将接收到的料箱从存储区搬运至工作站区。其中,第一料箱搬运设备可以是第一机器人,第二料箱搬运设备可以是第二机器人。
作为第二种实现方式,参照图5和图6所示,第二类载具包括上存储位和下暂存位,第一料箱搬运设备例如第一机器人被配置为基于搬运指令将上存储位上的料箱搬运至下暂存位,第二料箱搬运设备例如第二机器人被配置为将下暂存位上的料箱搬运至混合工作站或第一工作站。
以下先对第二类搬运设备例如第三搬运设备的第一种实现方式进行说明。
第一料箱搬运设备例如第一机器人可以为图4中所示的第三搬运设备,在这一实施例中,图4所示的第三搬运设备仅在存储区内运行,只需将第三载具上的料箱搬运到第二料箱搬运设备上即可,无需离开存储区。可以理解,图4中所示料箱搬运设备为移动门架式料箱搬运设备,门架结构可以由第一行走机构驱动在各个区域之间行走。
在另一个实施例中,第一料箱搬运设备也可以为固定门架式结构,其门架相对固定在第三载具一侧,可活动地设置在门架上的取放料箱机构在驱动机构作用下可以相对于门架沿水平方向和竖直方向运动,以取放第三载具不同高度位置的料箱。
第二料箱搬运设备例如第二机器人的结构与图3中第一搬运设备的结构基本相同,其至少包括行走机构和设置在行走机构上的承载板,承载板接收到第一料箱搬运设备推入的料箱后,行走机构带动第二料箱搬运设备从存储区行走至工作站区。
当然,该第二料箱搬运设备还可以包括图3中所示的升降机构,以便基于实际需要调整承载板相对于行走机构的高度。可以理解,第三搬运设备可以为上述两种不同结构的第一料箱搬运设备与第二料箱搬运设备的组合。本领域技术人员可以基于实际场景选取最佳的组合方式即可。
以下对第二类搬运设备例如第三搬运设备的第二种实现方式进行说明。
结合图5和图6,在又一个实施例中,第三载具可以是常规的货架,为了便于描述,将该三载具对应的货架命名为第一货架,第一货架可包括支架以及由支架支撑的沿垂直方向依次间隔设置的多个层板,每个层板具有至少一个上存储位,每个上存储位被配置为存放一个容器例如料箱。此外,第三载具例如第一货架的最下层的层板形成下暂存位。
第二类搬运设备的第三搬运设备可包括第一料箱搬运设备和第二料箱搬运设备。其中,第一料箱搬运设备被配置为取出第一货架的上存储位的料箱并放置到第一货架的下暂存位上。第二料箱搬运设备被配置为在第一货架的底部运行,以取出下暂存位上的料箱,并从存储区搬运至工作站区。
参照图5和图6所示,在一些示例中,第二类搬运设备包括第一机器人和第二机器人,例如,第一料箱搬运设备可以为第一机器人,第二料箱搬运设备可以为第二机器人,第一类搬运设备例如第一搬运设备和第二搬运设备可均为第三机器人。
可以理解,第一机器人、第二机器人、第三机器人的搬运方式不同。存储区包括第一区域和第二区域。第一区域和/或第二区域的一侧设置有多个工作站。其中,工作站中包括第二机器人、第三机器人中至少一种机器人对应的工作平台。
在一些示例中,第一类载具例如第一载具和第二载具可以均为货架,为了与第二类载具例如第三载具区别开,第一载具和第二载具可均命名为第二货架。
其中,第一区域中可包括多个第二类载具例如第一货架。各第一货架两两之间设置为第一机器人运行的第一运行区域,第一货架的底部为第二机器人运行的第二运行区域;第二区域中包括多个第一类载具例如至少一个第一载具和至少一个第二载具,也即是说,第二区域中包括多个第二货架。可以理解的是,多个第二货架中,至少一个第二货架被配置为存放散件货物,至少另一个第二货架被配置为存放整箱存储的货物。第二货架的底部为第三机器人行走的第三运行区域。其中,第一货架和第二货架的结构不同。
其中,控制服务器,用于获取订单命中的目标货物的出库调度任务,并基于出库调度任务确定目标货物对应的目标载具(或可称目标货架),生成出库搬运任务,并将出库搬运任务发送至目标机器人,以使目标机器人执行出库调度任务。需要说明的是,目标机器人为第一机器人、第二机器人、第三机器人中的至少一者,目标载具为第一载具、第二载具及第三载具中的至少一者,也即,目标货架为第一货架和第二货架中的至少一者。目标机器人可以在对应的行驶区域内行驶。其中,出库搬运任务中包括目标货物的位置信息。
另外,目标货物包括第一类货物或第二类货物。例如,目标货物可以是散件货物、整箱存储的货物及料箱存储的货物中的其中一个。可以理解的是,在本示例中,同一次订单可同时命中两个目标货物,其中一个目标货物为散件货物、整箱存储的货物及料箱存储的货物中的其中一种,另一个目标货物为散件货物、整箱存储的货物及料箱存储的货物中的另一种。
例如,在一次订单中同时命中的两个目标货物分别为散件货物和整箱存储的货物,则该订单需同时调度两个目标机器人,例如,其中一个目标机器人可以是其中一个第三机器人,该第三机器人被配置为搬运存放有散件货物的第二货架,另一个目标机器人可以是另一个第三机器人,该第三机器人被配置为搬运存放有整箱存储货物的第二货架。
再例如,在一次订单中同时命中的两个目标货物分别为散件货物和料箱存储的货物,则同一次订单需同时调度三个目标机器人,例如,其中一个目标机器人可以是第一机器人,另一个目标机器人为第二机器人,再一个目标机器人为第三机器人,其中,第一机器人和第二机器人共同实现对存储货物的料箱进行调度,以使料箱搬运至混合工作站,第三机器人实现对存放有散件货物的第二货架进行调度,以使存放有散件货物的第二货架搬运至混合工作站。
其中,若目标机器人为第一机器人,第一机器人用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第一运行区域,获取第一货架上的目标货物的料箱,并将目标货物的料箱搬运至第一货架上的第一目标货物缓存位;第一目标货物缓存位位于第一货架的最下层,即位于第一货架的下暂存位。第一货架可以如图6所示。第一机器人可以参见图6所示。第一机器人可以将货架格口中的料箱(货箱)通过取箱装置(例如,机械臂)从格口中取出。可选地,第一货架中存放货箱(货物)的格口规格相同。
其中,若目标机器人为第二机器人,第二机器人用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第二运行区域,将第一目标货物缓存位上放置的目标货物的料箱搬运至工作站例如混合工作站。第二机器人可以如图6所示,第二机器人可以通过将目标货物的料箱从货物缓存位顶起运输。第二机器人可以通过将货物缓存位上的货物运输至对应的工作站例如混合工作站。
其中,若目标机器人为第三机器人,第三机器人用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第三运行区域,将目标货物对应的第一载具或第二载具(即第二货架)搬运至工作站例如对应的混合工作站。第三机器人用于将如图7所示的第二货架搬运至对应的混合工作站。第三机器人可以通过将目标货物的料箱所在的货架顶起运输。
其中,混合工作站用于对目标机器人搬运的料箱中的目标货物、存放有散件货物的第二货架中的目标货物、存放有整箱存储货物的第二货架中的目标货物中的至少两者进行拣选。
在一些示例中,第二类载具例如第一货架的存储密度大于第一类载具例如第二货架的存储密度。其中,第一货架用于存储第二类货物,第二货架用于存储的第一类货物。示例性地,第二类货物的货物规格小于等于第一类货物的货物规格,和/或,第一类货物的出库量大于第二类货物的出库量。其中,存储密度为货架中格口的数量多少决定,若格口的数量多,则存储密度较大,若格口的数量少,则存储密度小。
示例地,第一货架中可以存储暂时无需出库或出库频率较低的中小件商品。第二货架中可以存储即将出库或出库频率较高的中大件商品。
在本申请实施例中,可根据业务场景和客户需求选择不同的存储区域布局,在实际拣选作业中更灵活、更易用,相比纯货架到人方案增加了存储密度,相比纯货箱到人方案降低了成本、提高了效率。另外,本申请实施例提出的存储区域布局可将纵向存储空间利用到极致。并且仓储系统中能够实现多种机器人同时运行、联合调度,可充分利用存储空间,设置组合货架,更好的联合机器人之间的运行调度,提高出库效率。
在一些可选择的实施例中,工作站区包括多个工作站,工作站可以包括混检工作平台、第一工作平台和第二工作平台。其中,第一工作平台为对第二机器人搬运的目标货物进行拣选的工作平台。混检工作平台为拣选第二机器人搬运的目标货物或者第三机器人搬运的目标货物的工作平台。第二工作平台为对第三机器人搬运的第二货架中的目标货物进行拣选的平台。
需要说明的是,因第三机器人搬运的第二货架可以存放散件货物,也可以存放整箱存储的货物,因此,第三机器人对应的第二工作平台也可以理解为混检工作平台。则为了区别,可以将上述拣选第二机器人搬运的目标货物或者第三机器人搬运的目标货物的工作平台称为第一混检工作平台,将第二工作平台称为第二混检工作平台。
可以理解的是,工作平台为混检工作平台的工作站称为混合工作站,多个混合工作站可以包括第一混检工作 平台和第二混检工作平台。例如,至少其中一个混合工作站包括第一混检工作平台,至少另一个混合工作站包括第二混检工作平台。
在一些实施例中,第二机器人,用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第二运行区域,将目标货物的料箱搬运至第一混检工作平台或者第一工作平台。
第三机器人,用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第三运行区域,将目标货物对应的第二货架搬运至第一混检工作平台或者第二工作平台(即第二混检工作平台)。例如,当订单命中的目标货物为散件货物,第三机器人具体为第一搬运设备,即该第三机器人在接收到第一搬运指令后,将存放有散件货物的第二货架搬运至第一混检工作平台或者第二混检工作平台。
需要说明的是,出库搬运任务中包括目标工作平台,针对第二机器人,目标工作平台在设置的过程中,可以在第一混检工作平台或者第一工作平台中选择,
在本申请实施例中,可以通过设置混检工作平台、第一工作平台和第二工作平台,充分利用多个机器人运行的优势对应设置工作站,以提高调度效率。
在另一些可选择的实施例中,工作站中的工作平台可以均设置为混检工作平台。即,所有的工作站均为混合工作站。
在一些实施例中,第二机器人,用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第二运行区域,将目标货物的料箱搬运至混检工作平台。
第三机器人,用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第三运行区域,将目标货物对应的第二货架搬运至混检工作平台。
在本实施例中,将工作站均设置为混检工作平台,可以在机器人出库的过程中工作站的选择更多,以实现多种机器人同时运行、联合调度,提高出库效率。
在一些可选择地的实施例中,第二货架包括可搬运货架,参照图7所示,其中,第三机器人用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第三运行区域,将目标货物对应的可搬运货架搬运至混合工作站。在第二货架为可搬运货架时,仓储系统的布局可以如图8所示。第一区域位于第二区域的左侧,需要说明的是,此处的布局仅为一种示例,第一区域也可以为与第二区域的右侧,或者第一区域位于第二区域的里侧,在此不加以限制。
参照图9和图10所示,第二类载具例如第三载具例如第一货架最下层还设置有梳齿结构,梳齿结构上具有至少一个下暂存位,其包括依次间隔设置的多个齿5。
第二机器人被配置为驶入下暂存位下方并提升至穿过下暂存位的梳齿间隙,以将下暂存位上的料箱抬起,并从存储区(例如第一区域)搬运至工作站区。
其中,第二类搬运设备中的第一料箱搬运设备(即第一机器人)的具体结构及其工作原理与前一个实施例中图3所示第三搬运设备相同,区别在于第一料箱搬运设备将第三载具(即第一货架)上存储位上的料箱搬运至其下暂存位暂存,而并非直接放置到第二料箱搬运设备(即第二机器人)上,本领域技术人员基于前文描述完全可以实现,本文在此不再赘述。
继续参见图9和图10,本实施例中第二类搬运设备中的第二料箱搬运设备3的行走机构30和基座31通过升降机构33连接,升降机构33可以带动基座31以及基座31上的输送机构32相对于行走机构30由当前位置上升或下降至取箱位置或送箱位置。
本公开实施例中,升降机构33包括剪刀叉机构及驱动剪刀叉机构展开或收缩的驱动机构,该驱动机构为液压缸或气缸,气压缸或气缸的缸体固设在行走机构30上,而其活塞杆端部设置在剪刀叉机构上,随着活塞杆相对于缸体的伸缩,其推动剪刀叉机构展开或收缩,继而带动基座31以及基座31上的输送机构32相对于行走机构30由当前位置上升或下降。剪刀叉机构为现有比较常用的升降机构,本领域技术人员基于现有技术完全可以实施,本文在此不再赘述。
当然,升降机构并不仅限于上述实施例中的结构,升降机构还可以包括支架、电机和动力传动机构,该动力传动机构的作用是将电机的转动转化为直线运动的传动机构,比如齿轮齿条传动机构、带传动机构、链传动机构等。当第一料箱搬运设备将料箱6送到梳齿结构上后,第二料箱搬运设备3基于第三搬运指令由当前位置行进至第三载具的下暂存位处,并将料箱6从第三载具的下暂存位取走。
详细地,第二料箱搬运设备3的基座31上设置两个垂直延伸的推杆34。
推杆34的作用在于,当第二料箱搬运设备3从第三载具的下暂存位下方经过时,其推杆34从梳齿结构的两个齿5的间隙之间穿过,以将放置在梳齿结构上的料箱6推入到第二料箱搬运设备3的输送机构32上,然后第二料箱搬运设备3携带料箱从存储区行走至工作站区的混合工作站处。
可以理解,本实施例中设置了两个推杆34,在第二料箱搬运设备3取箱过程中对料箱6形成两个施力点,以较为平稳的将料箱6从第三载具的下暂存位推出。
当然,第二料箱搬运设备3的基座上也可以仅设置一个推杆34或者是多个推杆34,本领域技术人员可以基于基座尺寸大小、货物的重量大小等因素设置较佳的数量即可。
下面参照图11至图14,结合另一个实施例来详细说明,第二料箱搬运设备的具体结构及其工作原理。
第二料箱搬运设备被配置为驶入第三载具750例如第一货架的下暂存位下方并提升至穿过所述暂存位的梳齿间隙,将暂存位上的料箱抬起,并从下暂存位搬运至混合工作站。
详细地,参见图11,第二类载具例如第三载具750具有间隔设置的多个货架齿755,多个货架齿755形成梳齿结构。货架齿755被配置为放置货物,也就是形成下暂存位。
第二料箱搬运设备7200(即第二机器人)包括机器人本体760和载物装置7100。载物装置7100设置在机器人本体760的顶部,其中载物装置7100的底板710的第二侧712朝向机器人本体760。也可以理解为,机器人本体760在底板710的第二侧712与载物装置7100连接。
载物装置7100包括底板710、支撑层720、第一阻挡件730和第二阻挡件740。
在一些实施例中,底板710大致为矩形板。底板710具有被配置为朝向被载物品的第一侧711和与第一侧711相反的第二侧(参见图12)。支撑层720被配置为承载物品,也即直接接触被载物品(例如料箱)。支撑层720由多个凸起件725组成。多个凸起件725设置至底板710的第一侧711,并从底板710的第一侧711沿高度方向Z凸出。多个凸起件725沿第一方向X间隔设置,使得仓储系统或仓储装置(例如货架、传动带等)的梳齿可以进入支撑层720(详见下文)。当物品放置在支撑层720上时,物品位于底板710的第一侧,并且物品由凸起件725支撑(参见图12)。其中,高度方向Z为垂直于底板710的方向。在实际使用中,高度方向Z为向上的方向。
载物装置7100包括多个第一阻挡件730。多个第一阻挡件730设置至凸起件725并沿第一方向X分别设置在支撑层720的两端。多个第一阻挡件730在底板710的第一侧711沿高度方向Z延伸超出凸起件725。也即,凸起件725高出底板710,第一阻挡件730高出凸起件720。或者说,支撑层720高出底板710,第一阻挡件730 高出支撑层720。多个第一阻挡件730沿第一方向X间隔设置。第一方向X垂直于高度方向Z。第一方向X例如为底板710的宽度方向。
载物装置7100包括多个第二阻挡件740。多个第二阻挡件740设置至凸起件725并沿第二方向Y分别设置在支撑层720的两端。多个第二阻挡件740在底板710的第一侧711沿高度方向Z延伸超出凸起件725。也即,凸起件725高出底板710,第二阻挡件740高出凸起件725。或者说,支撑层720高出底板710,第二阻挡件740高出支撑层720。多个第二阻挡件740沿第二方向Y间隔设置。第二方向Y与第一方向X不同。第二方向Y垂直于高度方向Z。第二方向Y例如为底板710的长度方向。当然,第一方向X也可以为底板710的长度方向,第二方向Y也可以为底板710的宽度方向。
当物品被支撑层720承托,第一阻挡件730可以在第一方向X阻挡该物品,第二阻挡件740则可以在第二方向Y阻挡该物品。或者说,第一阻挡件730与第二阻挡件740在支撑层720上围设出可在四周阻挡物品的载物区域,在该载物区域中,第一阻挡件730与第二阻挡件740将限制物品的极限位置,从而使得物品的姿态在一定程度被控制。
为了使载物装置7100能够适被配置为更多尺寸的物品,优选地,如图12所示,全部第一阻挡件730和/或全部第二阻挡件740沿支撑层720的边缘设置,以充分利用支撑层720的承载面积。或者说,多个第一阻挡件730分别位于两排,该两排沿第一方向X间隔开,支撑层720沿第一方向X的最大跨度(或最大尺寸)不超过该两排沿第一方向X的跨度(或距离)。多个第二阻挡件740分别位于两列,该两列沿第二方向Y间隔开,支撑层720沿第二方向Y的最大跨度(或最大尺寸)不超过该两列沿第二方向Y的跨度(或距离)。
为尽可能增加支撑层720的承载面积,优选地,如图12所示,支撑层720延伸至底板710的边缘。可以理解的,凸起件725之间的距离也需要适应承载物品的尺寸。凸起件725之间的距离越小,其能适应的物品的尺寸范围越大。
在本公开中,第一阻挡件730和第二阻挡件740例如通过焊接、粘接等方式连接至凸起件725。或者,第一阻挡件730与凸起件725一体成型,并且/或者第二阻挡件740与凸起件725一体成型。
在图12所示的实施方式中,凸起件725构造为沿长度方向延伸的长条状。多个长条状的凸起件725沿宽度方向X间隔排列,使得支撑层720呈梳齿状。为了减小载物装置7100的重量,凸起件725设置有减重孔726。
优选地,载物装置7100具有轴对称的结构。
优选地,多个凸起件725沿第一方向X等间隔设置。多个凸起件725沿第一方向X也可以不等间隔设置。
第二料箱搬运设备7200进行搬运时,料箱770置于载物装置7100(在一些实施例中,支撑层720)上。当需要将料箱770放置至第三载具750时,第二料箱搬运设备7200移动至货架齿755的开放侧,并使凸起件725对准货架齿之间的间隙。然后,第二料箱搬运设备7200朝向第三载具750移动,支撑层720的凸起件725通过与货架齿755之间的空间交错(凸起件725伸入货架齿755之间的空隙中)将料箱770运输至货架齿55上方。然后,第二料箱搬运设备7200高度降低,将料箱770放置于货架齿755上。第二料箱搬运设备7200取出料箱770时,第二料箱搬运设备7200首先行走至货架齿55的下方,并将凸起件25对准货架齿755之间的间隙。第二料箱搬运设备7200自身高度升高,凸起件25通过与货架齿755之间的空间交错将料箱770顶起,使料箱770置于载物装置7100(在一些实施例中,支撑层720)上。随后,第二料箱搬运设备7200带着料箱770驶出货架位置。
在上述搬运过程中,第一阻挡件730和第二阻挡件740分别在底板710的宽度方向和长度方向阻挡料箱770,因而在一定程度控制了料箱770的姿态,使得料箱770在第三载具750上具有相对统一的姿态,可以在一定程度节省储物空间,也便于第二料箱搬运设备7200在将其取出时可以稳定地将其放置在载物装置7100的载物空间中。
可以理解的,在上述搬运过程中,不仅全部凸起件725需要同时从货架齿755之间的空隙穿出,全部的第一阻挡件730和全部的第二阻挡件740也需要同时从货架齿755之间的空隙穿出。也即,多个货架齿55与全部凸起件725、全部第一阻挡件730和全部第二阻挡件740均匹配,使得全部凸起件725、全部第一阻挡件730和全部第二阻挡件740均能够同时从货架齿755的间隙中伸出。
为了与货架齿755相匹配,在第一实施方式中,第一阻挡件730构造为挡板。第二阻挡件740构造为档杆。当然,第一阻挡件730也可以构造为档杆。第一阻挡件730和第二阻挡件740也可以构造为其他适合的形式。
优选地,第一阻挡件730的内侧(被配置为朝向物品的一侧)设置有第一导向面731。第一导向面731沿第一方向X向外上倾斜。第二阻挡件740的内侧(被配置为朝向物品的一侧)设置有第二导向面741。第二导向面741沿第二方向Y向外上倾斜。在第一导向面731和第二导向面741的作用下,料箱770可以更容易地被引导至支撑层720上。优选地,在第一实施方式中,第一阻挡件730构造为沿第二方向Y延伸的挡片。第二阻挡件740构造为挡杆,位于同侧的多个档杆相互间隔开。
当然,第一阻挡件730也可以构造为档杆,位于同侧的多个档杆相互间隔开。通常,货架齿755设置在第三载具750的最底层,因此第二料箱搬运设备7200被配置为从第三载具750的最底层搬走货物或向第三载具750的最底层放置货物。在这种情况下,仓储系统7300还包括至少一个高层作业机器人(未示出),该高层作业机器人被配置为从第三载具750的其它层搬走货物或向第三载具750的其它层放置货物。从而,第二料箱搬运设备7200与高层作业机器人组合完成货物搬运转移的工作。
如图13所示,在第二实施方式中,载物装置7100的凸起件725构造为凸起件状。多个凸起件725散布在底板710的第一侧711,也即多个凸起件725沿第一方向X间隔设置并且沿第二方向Y也间隔设置。例如多个凸起件725以二维点阵的形式设置在第一侧711(多个凸起件725沿第一方向X等间隔设置,并且/或者多个凸起件725沿第二方向Y也等间隔设置)。凸起件725的横截面形状例如为圆形、椭圆形、矩形、正多边形等。第一阻挡件730和第二阻挡件740也设置在底板710的第一侧711。多个第一阻挡件730沿第一方向X分别设置在支撑层720的两侧。多个第二阻挡件740沿第二方向Y分别设置在支撑层720的两侧。第一阻挡件730和第二阻挡件740在第一侧711沿高度方向Z延伸超出凸起件725。从而,第一阻挡件730和第二阻挡件740将支撑层720包围其中,使得位于支撑层720上的物品的姿态在一定程度被控制。
与第一实施方式类似,为了使载物装置7100能够适被配置为更多尺寸的物品,优选地,全部第一阻挡件730沿底板710的边缘设置,并且/或者全部第二阻挡件740沿底板710的边缘设置,以充分加大载物装置7100的载物空间的底面积。
第二实施方式中其余未阐述的部分参照第一实施方式中的描述。在本公开的未示出的第三实施方式中,第一阻挡件730设置至凸起件725,第二阻挡件740设置至底板710。在本公开的未示出的第四实施方式中,第一阻挡件730设置至底板710,第二阻挡件740设置至凸起件725。第三和第四实施方式中其余未阐述的部分参照第一和第二实施方式中的描述。
如图14所示,载物装置7100的第一阻挡件730和第二阻挡件740均位于载物装置7100的底板710的边缘。载物装置7100具有对称的结构。在载物装置7100的宽度方向X上间隔开的两排第一阻挡件730的间距为D。第 一阻挡件730的总跨度(在长度方向Y的总长度)为A。在载物装置7100的长度方向Y上间隔开的两列第二阻挡件740的间距为B。第二阻挡件740的总跨度(在宽度方向X的总宽度)为C。料箱770(例如为长方体形状)的长度为F,宽度为G。当料箱770放置在载物装置7100上时,在料箱770的中心与载物装置7100的中心相重合时,料箱770相对于载物装置7100可移动的距离b为:
或者,料箱770相对于载物装置7100可移动的距离b为:
料箱770相对于载物装置7100可转动的角度α为:
或者,料箱770相对于载物装置7100可转动的角度α为:
在料箱770与载物装置7100的尺寸为已知的情况下,通过上述公式(1)-(4)可知载物装置7100可以限制料箱770的移动距离和转动角度,也即在一定程度控制料箱770的姿态。反之,如果希望将料箱770的姿态控制在预设范围内,则可以根据该预设范围反推第一阻挡件730的跨度A和第二阻挡件740的跨度C,也即可以根据实际需求修改载物装置7100的参数。
在本公开未示出的第五实施方式中,载物装置7100仅设置了第一阻挡件730。在本公开未示出的第六实施方式中,载物装置7100仅设置了第二阻挡件740。从而,载物装置7100可以根据需要仅在一个方向(长度方向或宽度方向)上控制料箱的姿态,并且使得载物装置7100在另一个方向(宽度方向或长度方向)上可以不限制物品的尺寸。第五和第六实施方式中其余未阐述的部分参照第一和第二实施方式中的描述。
在本公开未示出的第七实施方式中,载物装置7100均未设置第一阻挡件730和第二阻挡件740,从而载物装置7100在一定程度上不限制物品的尺寸,这极大提高了载物装置7100的适用性。
可以理解的,载物装置7100上第一阻挡件730和第二阻挡件740的不同的配置情况,均需要与仓储系统7300的第三载具750的货架齿相匹配,不仅要使全部凸起件725能够同时从货架齿755的间隙中伸出,还要使已配置的第一阻挡件730和/或第二阻挡件740也能够同时从货架齿755的间隙中伸出。根据本公开的载物装置,通过设置相互间隔开的凸起件,使得载物装置能够与仓储装置(例如货架、传送带等)的梳齿配合,完成货物的搬运转移。
在另一些可选择的实施例中,如图15所示,第一类载具例如第二货架可包括第一子货架和第二子货架。其中,第一子货架设置于第二子货架的上方,第一子货架的结构与第二子货架的结构不同,并且第一子货架的格口与第一货架的格口相同。第二货架两两之间还包括第一机器人运行的第四运行区域。
在一些实施例中,第一机器人,还用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第四运行区域和第一运行区域,将第一子货架的目标货物的料箱搬运至第二目标货物缓存位。其中,第二目标货物缓存位位于第一区域中第一货架的最下层。可以增加存储密度、充分利用仓库纵向空间。
第二机器人,还用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第二运行区域,将目标货物的料箱搬运至第一混检工作平台。
第一机器人,还用于运行于第四运行区域,将第一子货架的目标货物的料箱搬运至第二子货架的目标格口。
第三机器人,用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第三运行区域,将目标货物对应的第二子货架搬运至第二混检工作平台或者第一混检工作平台。
在一些实施例中,参照图16所示,第二区域中还可包括:第三货架,第三货架与第一货架的结构相同。各第三货架分别位于各第二货架的一侧,各第三货架两两之间设置有第一机器人运行的第五运行区域,第三货架底部设置有第二机器人运行的第六运行区域;第一货架和第三货架中存储的货物类型相同。例如,第三货架可存放料箱存储的货物。
在一些实施例中,第一机器人,还用于在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第五运行区域和第四运行区域,将第一子货架的目标货物的料箱搬运至第三货架的第三目标货物缓存位;
第二机器人,还用于接收到出库搬运任务后,将第三目标货物缓存位的目标货物的料箱搬运至工作站区例如混合工作站。
在本实施例中,可以实现多种机器人同时运行、联合调度,可根据业务场景和客户需求选择不同的方案布局、机器人配比,在实际拣选作业中更灵活、更易用,相比纯货架到人方案增加了存储密度,相比纯货箱到人方案降低了成本、提高了效率。
在一个实施例中,仓储系统的布局可以参照图17所示设置,也可以设置为如图18所示的第三布局。第三布局中,第一区域位于第二区域的一侧,第二区域的另一侧设置有工作站例如混合工作站。
其中,控制服务器、工作站区、第一机器人、第二机器人、第三机器人之间通过网络通信。其中,控制服务器可以包括但不限于是各种个人计算机、笔记本电脑、智能手机、平板电脑和便携式可穿戴设备等电子设备。另外,该控制服务器可以用独立的服务器或者是多个服务器组成的服务器集群来实现,在此不加以限制。其中,第一机器人、第二机器人、第三机器人用于执行货物搬运任务(即基于搬运指令执行货物搬运任务),工作站例如混合工作站为用于对货物进行拣选操作的地点,第一货架、第二货架为用于放置货物。
控制服务器可以在获取目标货物的出库调度任务后,获取需要搬运目标物体的商品信息,并基于商品信息确定目标物体对应的目标货架,进而根据目标货架,确定执行出库调度任务的目标机器人,控制目标机器人在对应的目标运行区域中行走,并将目标物体搬运至对应的混合工作站。
在本公开实施例中提出的仓储系统,可根据业务场景和客户需求选择不同的存储区域布局,在实际拣选作业中更灵活、更易用,相比纯货架到人方案增加了存储密度,相比纯货箱到人方案降低了成本、提高了效率。另外,本公开实施例提出的存储区域布局可将纵向存储空间利用到极致,当储量需求更高时,可将第二子货架上方增设第一子货架,其中第一子货架中包括第一机器人搬运货物对应的存储货位,充分利用混跑优势。
参见图19,在一些示例中,本公开实施例的混合工作站包括工作平台以及设置在工作平台上的复核打包电脑和拣选电脑,混合工作站内还设置有存储装置,存储装置被配置为存放拣选完成和/或复核打包完成的货物。
其中,工作平台通常为被配置为木质或金属制成的具有工作平台台面的桌子等,其高度适于工作人员以站立或坐姿状态下处理工作平台台面上的货物。可以理解的是,该工作平台为混检工作平台、第一工作平台或第二工作平台。
拣选电脑被配置为接收待拣选订单并发送已拣选完成的订单。
当第一类载具或第二类载具上的料箱被搬运至工作站区的指定混合工作站后,工作人员基于拣选电脑接收到的拣选订单执行拣选任务,拣选完成后再将拣选完成的订单发送至下游的工作平台或总控制系统。
复核打包电脑被被配置为接收待复核打包订单并发送已复核打包完成的订单。
当工作人员基于拣选订单拣选完成后,由该工作人员或其他工作人员基于复核打包电脑接收到的复核打包订单将拣选完成的货物进行复核打包,复核打包完成后将通过复核打包电脑订单发送至下游的工作平台或总控制系统。
如果某些拣选完成的订单尚未收到对应的复核打包订单时,工作人员也可将这些货物先暂存在存储装置上。另外,货物复核打包完成后也可以放置在存储装置上,以便其他搬运设备将该存储装置上的货物或者存储装置搬运至下游工位。
该存储装置可以为货架或托盘等能够存放货物的装置。
继续参见图2,本公开实施例的仓储系统还包括控制服务器,控制服务器被配置为基于工作站区例如混合工作站发送的订单同时或排序呼叫第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备例如第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备中的至少两者,并控制第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备中的至少两者搬运存放有订单命中的货物的第一载具、第二载具、第三载具上的料箱中对应的至少两者。
需要说明的是,控制服务器呼叫的搬运设备的种类和数量取决于订单命中的货物的种类。
例如,当订单同时命中了散件货物、整箱存储的货物和料箱存储的货物时,控制服务器呼叫第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备,并控制该第一搬运设备和第二搬运设备而分别将第一载具和第二载具从存储区搬运至工作站区的混合工作站,并且呼叫第三搬运设备将第三载具上的料箱从存储区搬运至工作站区的混合工作站。
当订单同时命中了散件货物、整箱存储的货物时,控制服务器呼叫第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备,并控制第一搬运设备和第二搬运设备分别将第一载具和第二载具从存储区搬运至工作站区的混合工作站。
当订单同时命中了散件货物、料箱存储的货物时,控制服务器呼叫第一搬运设备,并控制该第一搬运设备将第一载具从存储区搬运至工作站区的混合工作站,并呼叫第三搬运设备,控制该第三搬运设备将第三载具上的料箱从存储区搬运至工作站区的混合工作站。
当订单同时命中了整箱存储的货物、料箱存储的货物时,控制服务器呼叫第二搬运设备,控制该第二搬运设备将第二载具从存储区搬运至工作站区的混合工作站,并呼叫第三搬运设备,控制该第三搬运设备将第三载具上的料箱从存储区搬运至工作站区的混合工作站。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例中,控制服务器基于混合工作站发送的订单呼叫三个搬运设备执行相应的搬运任务,可以理解,控制服务器接收到的订单也可以由用户发送。
也就是说,控制服务器被配置为接收订单,并基于订单呼叫第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备,并控制第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备及第三搬运设备将第一载具、第二载具、第三载具上的料箱从存储区搬运至工作站区即可。
继续参见图2,该控制服务器可包括仓库管理模块、定位模块和调度模块。
其中,仓库管理模块内存储有数据库,数据库内标出各类货物在第一类载具和第二类载具上的位置,例如,数据库内标出各类货物在第一载具、第二载具、第三载具上的位置。基于此,仓库管理模块,被配置为基于订单确定订单命中的第一类货物对应的第一类载具的位置,和/或订单命中的第二类货物对应的第二类载具的位置;
定位模块,基于仓库管理模块提供的位置信息,确定第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备中的至少一者从当前位置达到存储区内第一类载具、第二类载具上的料箱,以及搬取到第一类载具及第二类载具上的料箱后,从存储区达到工作站区的路径;
调度模块,被配置为基于订单呼叫当前空闲且距离存储区最近的第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备,并将第一类载具、第二类载具上的料箱从存储区搬运至工作站区。
示例性地,仓库管理模块被配置为基于订单确定订单命中的散件货物、整箱存储的货物、料箱存储的货物的第一载具的位置、第二载具的位置、第三载具的料箱的位置。
定位模块内存储有仓库区域的地图,地图上显示了第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备从各自的当前位置达到目标位置可以通行的至少一种路径。
定位模块被配置为基于仓库管理模块提供的位置信息,确定第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备从当前位置达到存储区内第一载具、第二载具、第三载具的料箱,以及搬取到对应的载具后从存储区达到工作站区的混合工作站的路径。示例性地,定位模块确定的路径为最短路径。
调度模块内存储有仓储系统内所有搬运设备和料箱搬运设备的信息,该信息包括位置信息和当前状态信息,当前状态信息包括空闲状态或工作状态。
调度模块被配置为基于订单呼叫当前空闲且距离存储区最近的第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备,并控制当前空闲且距离存储区最近的第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备将第一载具、第二载具、第三载具上的料箱从存储区搬运至工作站区的混合工作站。
需要说明的是,第一载具、第二载具、第三载具可以先后顺序或同时达到工作站区的混合工作站,具体的达到方式,本领域技术人员可以根据工作站区的面积大小、拣选人员或拣选设备配置情况等因素选择即可。
图2中仓储系统的工作站区仅设置了一个混合工作站,基于工作站区的面积大小、仓储系统需要处理的拣选任务的体量大小,本领域技术人员可以在工作站区设置两个或多个混合工作站。这些混合工作站可以同时处理拣选任务。
当由人工或拣选机器人在混合工作站完成拣选任务后,在混合工作站还可以直接进行复核打包任务,如此仓储系统内无需再设置复核打工作平台,当然也无需配置专门的复核打包工作人员或相应的自动化设备,简化了仓储系统的结构,提高了仓储系统的工作效率。
也就是说,混合工作站还被配置为被配置为执行复核打包拣选完成的货物。参照图5所示,本公开一些实施例还提供另一种仓储系统,包括存储区、搬运设备、工作站和控制服务器。
搬运设备包括第一机器人、第二机器人、第三机器人,第一机器人、第二机器人、第三机器人的搬运方式不同;存储区包括第一区域和第二区域;第一区域和/或第二区域的一侧设置有工作站;工作站中包括第二机器人、第三机器人中至少一种机器人对应的工作平台;

需要说明的是,参照图5所示,上述提供的另一种仓储系统的具体结构可参照上文中的相关内容,此处不再赘述。
此外,本公开实施例还提供一种仓储系统的混合拣选方法(或可称为仓储系统的调度方法),该混合拣选方法适用于上述仓储系统的混合拣选任务,也可以由具有同等功能元件的其他仓储系统来实施。
参照图20所示,本公开实施例的混合拣选方法包括如下主要步骤:
S100、获取订单,订单至少命中第一类货物和第二类货物,第一类货物和第二类货物的类型不同。
S200、基于订单同时或排序呼叫第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备,并控制第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备将存放有订单命中第一类货物的第一类载具、存储有订单命中的第二类货物的料箱搬运至工作站区,以进行拣选处理。
工作站区包括至少一个混合工作站、至少一个第一工作站及至少一个第二工作站,第一类搬运设备被配置为将承载有第一类货物的第一类载具搬运至混合工作站或第二工作站,第二类搬运设备被配置为存储有订单命中的第二类货物的料箱搬运至混合工作站或第一工作站。
在其中一些示例中,基于订单命中的货物的具体类型,同时或排序呼叫第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备,并控制第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备将存放有订单命中第一类货物的第一类载具、存储有订单命中的第二类货物的料箱搬运至工作站区,具体可包括:
基于订单确定订单命中的第一类货物和第二类货物对应的第一类载具的位置和第二类载具的位置;
确定第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备从当前位置达到第一类载具和料箱,以及搬取到对应的第一类载具和料箱后达到对应工作站的路径;
基于订单呼叫当前空闲且距离对应地第一类载具、料箱最近的第一类搬运设备和第二类搬运设备,将第一类载具和料箱搬运至对应的工作站。
参见图21,示例性地,本公开实施例的混合拣选方法具体包括如下主要步骤:
S1、发送订单,订单命中散件货物、整箱存储的货物、料箱存储的货物中至少两种货物(或称商品);
以控制服务器侧为例,该控制服务器获取订单,从而获取订单命中的目标货物的出库调度任务。出库调度任务为需要机器人将目标货物搬运至工作站例如混合工作站,以在工作站拣选对应订单中货物的任务。
需要说明的是,当控制服务器获取到各个订单后,可以将各个订单分配至各个工作站,可以基于订单中各个待出库的货物生成对应的出库调度任务,以使对应的机器人基于出库调度任务将目标货物搬运至对应工作站中,实现订单中各个货物的拣选后出库。
S2、基于订单同时或排序呼叫第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备,将存放有订单命中的散件货物的第一载具、存放有订单命中的整箱存储的货物的第二载具、存储有订单命中的料箱存储货物的料箱搬运至混合工作站进行拣选处理。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例中,为了实现多业态拣选模式,一次订单可同时命中至少两种类型的货物,则基于该订单可同时或排序呼叫第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备中的至少两者,并控制第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备中的至少两者将存放有订单命中的散件货物的第一载具、存放有订单命中的整箱存储的货物的第二载具、存储有订单命中的料箱存储货物的料箱中对应的至少两种货物搬运至混合工作站进行拣选处理。
在其中一些示例中,基于订单命中的货物的具体类型,步骤S2具体可包括如下步骤:
当订单同时命中了散件货物、整箱存储的货物和料箱存储的货物时,呼叫第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备分别将第一载具和第二载具搬运至工作站区,呼叫第三搬运搬运设备将料箱搬运至工作站区的混合工作站。
当订单同时命中了散件货物、整箱存储的货物时,呼叫第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备分别将第一载具和第二载具搬运至工作站区的混合工作站。
当订单同时命中了散件货物、料箱存储的货物时,呼叫第一搬运设备将第一载具搬运至工作站区,并呼叫第三搬运设备将第三载具上的料箱搬运至工作站区的混合工作站。
当订单同时命中了整箱存储的货物、料箱存储的货物时,呼叫第二搬运设备将第二载具搬运至工作站区,并呼叫第三搬运设备将第三载具上的料箱搬运至工作站区的混合工作站。
更为在一些实施例中,参见图22,步骤S2包括:
S20、基于订单确定订单命中的散件货物、整箱存储的货物、料箱存储的货物的第一载具的位置、第二载具的位置、料箱的位置;
S21、确定第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备从当前位置达到第一载具、第二载具、料箱,以及搬取到对应的第一载具、第二载具、料箱后达到混合工作站的路径;
S22、基于订单呼叫当前空闲且距离对应地第一载具、第二载具、料箱最近的第一搬运设备、第二搬运设备、第三搬运设备,将第一载具、第二载具、料箱搬运至混合工作站。
继续参见图21,待订单拣选完成后,本公开的混合拣选方法还包括如下步骤:
S3、在混合工作站复核订单并贴标签。
例如,当由人工或拣选机器人在混合工作站完成拣选任务后,在混合工作站还可以直接进行复核打包任务,如此仓储系统内无需再设置复核打包工作平台,当然也无需配置专门的复核打包工作人员或相应的自动化设备,简化了仓储系统的结构,提高了仓储系统的工作效率。在另外一些示例中,步骤S2具体可包括如下步骤:
S204、基于目标货物的出库调度任务,确定目标货物对应的目标货架;目标货架包括位于第一区域的第一货架或者位于第二区域的第二货架;第一货架和第二货架的结构不同。
参照图23所示,可以理解的是,在S204之前,S1可具体包括:
S202、控制服务器例如电子设备获取目标货物的出库调度任务。
接着,在S204中,控制服务器基于订单命中的目标货物的出库调度任务,确定目标货物对应的目标货架。
其中,商品信息可以包括目标货物的所在货位信息、目标货物所在容器(货箱或者料箱)的货位信息,目标货物对应的货架的位置信息、目标货物的尺寸规格以及目标货物的数量信息等,在此不加以限制。需要说明的是,各个货架中各个货位是否存储货物(料箱),各个货架、各个货位的位置等都为预先存储的信息,当各个货架中进行入库后,各个货位存储的物品信息(包括存储货物的类型、存储货物的尺寸规格、存储货物的数量信息均预先进行存储)。
在一些实施例中,当获取到目标货物的出库调度任务后,可以确定出目标货物的商品信息,例如,目标物品所在货架的位置信息以及所在货位的货位信息等,进而可以确定目标货物对应的目标货架。
示例性地,在各个货物(料箱)在进行上架的过程中,可以根据货物(货箱)的尺寸规格,对应存储于第一区域的第一货架,或者第二区域的第二货架。例如,若货物(货箱)的尺寸规格大于预设的尺寸,则存储于第二货架。若货物(货箱)的尺寸规格不大于预设的尺寸,则存储于第一货架。
进一步地,在确定目标货架之前,还可以当获取到目标货物的出库调度任务后,首先确定出目标货物的商品信息,例如,目标货物的类型,进而可以确定目标货物对应存储的区域,确定存储于第一货架或者第二货架。再基于目标货物的所在货架的位置信息以及所在货位的货位信息等,进一步确定出目标货物对应的目标货架。
在其中一些示例中,当目标货物对应存储于第一货架,或者,第二货架中的多个货位时,可以优先将距离对应工作站最近的包括存储目标货物货位的货架作为目标货架。
例如,若目标货物对应存储于第一货架中的货架a、货架b、货架c,也即货架a、货架b、货架c中均存放有目标货物,则可以将距离对应的混合工作站最近的货架a,作为目标货架。
在另外一些示例中,若目标货物对应存储于第二货架中,可以将同一个第二货架中具有一个订单中最多待出库的货物的货架,作为目标货架。
例如,若目标货物对应第二货架中,该目标货物对应的订单中,若包括多个待出库的其他物体,例如,订单A中包括目标货物c、物体d、物体e。若第二货架中,货架q、货架s均存在目标货物c,若货架q中还存储有物体d和物体e,货架s中仅存储有物体e,则优先选择货架q作为目标货架。进而,可以将目标货架由第三机器人直接搬运至工作站中,能够一次性最多的搬运待出库的物体至对应的工作站例如混合工作站,节省搬运次数,提高出库效率。
S206,根据目标货架,确定执行出库调度任务的目标机器人,向目标机器人发送出库搬运指令(即出库搬运任务),以使目标机器人在目标运行区域执行出库调度任务。
其中,目标运行区域为第一运行区域、第二运行区域或者第三运行区域中的至少一者,第一运行区域为各第一货架两两之间区域,第二运行区域为第一货架的底部,第三运行区域为第二货架的底部;目标机器人为第一机器人、第二机器人、第三机器人中的至少一者。
在一些实施例中,当确定了目标货物对应的目标货架后,由于不同的目标货架对应不同执行搬运任务的机器人,则可以根据目标货物所在的目标货架,确定对应目标机器人。
当确定了目标货架后,若目标货架为第一货架,则可以进一步获取目标货物的目标货位。进而,若目标货位位于对应的第一货架上的货物缓存区,则可以控制第二机器人将货物缓存区的目标货物的料箱搬运至对应第二机器人的工作站a中,其中,第二机器人在第二运行区域行驶。需要说明的是,该工作站a可以设置为仅用于拣选第二机器人搬运的目标货物的第一工作平台,也可以设置为第一混检工作平台,即可以用于拣选第二机器人搬运物体的工作平台,也可以设置为用于拣选第三机器人搬运物体的工作平台,在此不加以限制。
若目标货架为第一货架,目标货物对应存储的目标货位并非货物缓存区,则控制第一机器人将目标货物由目标货位搬运至所在第一货架的第一目标货物缓存区,其中,第一机器人在第一运行区域行驶。进而,控制第二机器人将第一目标货物缓存区的目标货物搬运至对应第二机器人的工作站a中,其中,第二机器人在第二运行区域行驶。
在一种可选择的实施例中,参照图7所示,若第二货架设置为可搬运货架,目标货物对应存储于第二货架中,则可以控制对应的第三机器人将目标货架搬运至对应的工作站b中,其中,第三机器人在第三运行区域行驶,该第三运行区域位于第二货架的底部。其中,该工作站b可以设置为仅用于拣选第三机器人搬运的目标货架的第二工作平台(即第二混检工作平台),也可以设置为混检工作平台(即第一混检工作平台),即可以用于拣选第三机器人搬运货架的工作平台,也可以设置为用于拣选第二机器人搬运物体的工作平台,在此不加以限制。
在另一种可选择的实施例中,参照图15所示,第二货架可以为包括第一子货架和第二子货架组合形成的组合货架,在其他可选择的实施例中,参照图16所示,在组合货架的旁边还存在有第三货架。
示例性地,步骤S206,根据目标货架,确定执行出库调度任务的目标机器人,向目标机器人发送出对应的出库搬运指令(即出库搬运任务),以使目标机器人执行出库调度任务,具体包括:
S2062,若目标货架为第一货架的情况下,将第一机器人确定为目标机器人,并向第一机器人发送出库搬运任务,以使第一机器人在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第一运行区域,获取第一货架上的目标货物的料箱,并将目标货物的料箱搬运至第一货架上的第一目标货物缓存位;第一目标货物缓存位位于第一货架的最下层,即第一货架的下暂存位。
在一些实施例中,若命中的目标货架为第一货架,将第一机器人确定为目标机器人,并向第一机器人发送出库搬运任务。以使第一机器人在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第一运行区域,获取第一货架上的目标货物的料箱,并将目标货物的料箱搬运至第一货架上的第一目标货物缓存位。
S2064,在第一机器人将目标货物的料箱搬运至第一货架上的第一目标货物缓存位时,将第二机器人确定为目标机器人,并向第二机器人发送出库调度任务,以使第二机器人在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第二运行区域,将第一目标货物缓存位上放置的目标货物的料箱搬运至工作站区中的第一工作平台或者混检工作平台。
在一些实施例中例如,若命中的目标货架为第一货架上的第一目标货物缓存位时,将第二机器人确定为目标机器人,并向第二机器人发送出库调度任务,以使第二机器人在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第二运行区域, 将第一目标货物缓存位上放置的目标货物的料箱搬运至工作站区中混检工作平台(即第一混检工作平台)。
需要说明的是,若出库搬运任务中确定的工作站为第一工作平台,则第二机器人将第一目标货物缓存位上放置的目标货物的料箱搬运至工作站中的第一工作平台。若出库搬运任务中确定的工作站为混检工作平台,则第二机器人将第一目标货物缓存位上放置的目标货物的料箱搬运至工作站中的混检工作平台,即搬运至混合工作站。
S2066,若目标货架为第二货架的情况下,将第三机器人确定为目标机器人,并向第三机器人发送出库搬运任务,以使第三机器人在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第三运行区域,将目标货物对应的第二货架搬运至工作站中的第二工作平台(即第二混检工作平台)或者混检工作平台(即第一混检工作平台)。
在一些实施例中,命中的目标货架为第二货架,可以向第三机器人发送出库搬运任务,以使第三机器人在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第三运行区域,将目标货物对应的第二货架搬运至工作站中的第二工作平台或者混检工作平台。
需要说明的是,若出库搬运任务中确定的工作站为第二工作平台,则第三机器人将第二货架搬运至工作站中的第二工作平台。若出库搬运任务中确定的工作站为混检工作平台,则第二机器人将第二货架搬运至工作站中的混检工作平台。
在本实施例中,能够实现多种机器人同时运行、联合调度,可充分利用存储空间,设置组合货架,更好的联合机器人之间的运行调度,提高出库效率。
在一些示例中,参照图15所示,第二货架包括第一子货架和第二子货架,第一子货架设置于第二子货架的上方,第一子货架的结构与第二子货架的结构不同,并且第一子货架的格口与第一货架的格口尺寸相同,第二货架两两之间还包括第一机器人运行的第四运行区域。则仓储系统的调度方法,还包括:
S302,若目标货架为第一子货架的情况下,将第一机器人作为目标机器人,并向第一机器人发送出库搬运任务,以使第一机器人在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第四运行区域和第一运行区域,将第一子货架的目标货物的料箱搬运至第二目标货物缓存位,或者,以使第一机器人运行于第四运行区域,将第一子货架的目标货物的料箱搬运至第二子货架的目标格口。
在一些实施例中,若命中的目标货架为第二区域中第二货架的第一子货架,则可以先第一机器人发送出库调度任务,以使第一机器人在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第四运行区域和第一运行区域,将第一子货架的目标货物的料箱搬运至第二目标货物缓存位,或者,以使第一机器人运行于第四运行区域,将第一子货架的目标货物的料箱搬运至第二子货架的目标格口。
在第一机器人运行于第四运行区域,将第一子货架的目标货物的料箱搬运至第二子货架的目标格口时,可以使得第三机器人后续能够将第二子货架搬运至工作站区,同时可以使得其他的第一机器人、第二机器人执行其他搬运任务,增强机器人之间的联合调度。
S304,在第一机器人将目标货物的料箱搬运至第二目标货物缓存位时,将第二机器人确定为目标机器人,并向第二机器人发送出库搬运任务,以使第二机器人运行于第二运行区域,将目标货物的料箱搬运至工作站区。
在一些实施例中,若在目标货物的料箱已搬运至第二目标货物缓存位时,则需要第二机器人将其搬运至对应的工作站例如混合工作站。
S306,若目标货架为第二子货架的情况下,且目标货物的料箱位于目标格口时,将第三机器人确定为目标机器人,向第三机器人发送出库调度任务,以使第三机器人在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第三运行区域,将目标货物对应的第二货架搬运至工作站区。
在一些实施例中,当命中目标货架为第二子货架,且目标货物的料箱位于目标格口时,将第三机器人确定为目标机器人,向第三机器人发送出库搬运任务,以使第三机器人在接收到出库搬运任务后,运行于第三运行区域,将目标货物对应的第二货架搬运至工作站区。
进一步地,若为了提高存储密度,在第二区域中还可以设置有第三货架。参照图16所示,其中,第三货架与第一货架的结构相同,各第三货架分别位于各第二货架的一侧,各第三货架两两之间设置有第一机器人运行的第五运行区域,第三货架底部设置有第二机器人运行的第六运行区域。仓储系统调度方法,还包括:
S402,若目标货架为第一子货架的情况下,将第一机器人确定为目标机器人,并向第一机器人发送出库搬运任务,以使第一机器运行于第五运行区域和第四运行区域,将第一子货架的目标货物的料箱搬运至第三货架的第三目标货物缓存位;第三目标货物缓存位位于第三货架的最下层。
S404,在第一机器人将目标货物的料箱搬运至第三目标货物缓存位时,将第二机器人作为目标机器人,并向第二机器人发送出库搬运任务,以使第二机器人将第三目标货物缓存位的目标货物的料箱搬运至工作站区。
在本申请实施例中,通过不同货架对应不同机器人的出库调度方案,能够实现多种机器人同时运行、联合调度,可充分利用存储空间,设置组合货架,更好的联合机器人之间的运行调度,提高出库效率。
当仓储系统中既需要第二机器人对应的工作平台,又需要第三机器人对应的工作平台时,需要合理的分配工作站,基于此,在一个实施例中,仓储系统调度方法,还包括:
S102,获取多个目标出库订单;目标出库订单中包括至少一种需要出库的目标商品。
其中,目标出库订单可以为上游系统发布的订单,在每一个目标出库订单中包括至少一个待出库的目标商品,该目标商品可以位于货箱(料箱)、货架上。
S104,获取各目标商品对应存储的仓库存储区。
其中,各个商品分布于仓库存储区中的各个货架及货位为已知数据。
S106,在获取的仓储存储区包括第一区域和第二区域时,确定订单中对应的仓库存储区仅包括第一区域的第一订单数量,以及,订单中对应的仓库存储区仅包括第二区域的第二订单数量。
在一些实施例中,当确定各个目标出库订单中的各个目标商品可以对应第一区域和第二区域两个区域中的货架时,可以统计出各个目标出库订单中各个目标商品仅对应第一区域的第一订单数量,以及对应各个目标出库订单中各个目标商品仅对应第二区域的第二订单数量。
S108,根据第一订单数量和第二订单数量分别占所有目标出库订单的比例,将工作站配置为混检工作平台(即第一混检工作平台),即该工作站为混合工作站;混检工作平台为用于拣选第二机器人搬运的目标物体以及第三机器人搬运的目标物体的工作平台。
在一些实施例中,可以分别确定出第一订单数量占所有目标出库订单的第一比例,以及第二订单数量占所有目标出库订单的第二比例。进而按照确定出的第一比例和第二比例,分配对应第二机器人和第三机器人的工作站数量。即设置包括两种不同工作平台的混检工作平台。
示例性地,若各个目标出库订单中的各个目标商品仅第一区域时,则可以将工作站全部设置为第二机器人对应的第一工作平台。
若各个目标出库订单中的各个目标商品仅第二区域,且第二区域中的第二货架并非组合货架时,则可以将工作站全部设置为第三机器人对应的第二工作平台。
需要说明的是,多个第二货架中,其中一部分第一货架被配置为存放散件货物,另一个部分第一货架被配置为存放整箱存储的货物,则该第二工作平台也可理解为混合工作平台(即上文提到的第二混检工作平台)。在一些示例中,可以根据散件货物和整箱存储货物的订单数量,适应性地的调整第二工作平台的数量。
另外,在其他示例中,可以将工作站均设置为第一混检工作平台,第一混检工作平台为拣选第二机器人搬运的目标物体以及第三机器人搬运的目标物体的工作平台。
可以理解,在某些示例中,可根据第一订单数量和第二订单数量,确定工作站中第一混检工作平台和第二混检工作平台的数量。例如,当第一订单数量大于第二订单数量时,可以将第一混检工作平台的设置数量大于第二混检工作平台的设置数量,当第一订单数量小于第二订单数量时,可以将第一混检工作平台的设置数量小于第二混检工作平台的设置数量。
在本公开实施例中,通过获取多个目标出库订单,获取各目标商品对应存储的仓库存储区,在获取的仓储存储区包括第一区域和第二区域时,确定订单中对应的仓库存储区仅包括第一区域的第一订单数量,以及,订单中对应的仓库存储区仅包括第二区域的第二订单数量,进而根据第一订单数量和第二订单数量分别占所有目标出库订单的比例,将工作站配置为混检工作平台。能够根据合理的比例设置混检工作平台,在仓储系统运行过程中,三种工位可根据业务场景相互切换、调整数量,混合拣选订单较多的时段。
上述实施例对仓储系统调度方法中的出库调度进行了说明,在仓储系统调度中,还包括对商品货物的入库调度。现以一个实施例对仓储系统调度的入库调度进行说明,在一个实施例中,如图24所示,仓储系统调度方法,还包括:
S302,控制服务服务器例如电子设备获取目标货物的入库调度任务。
其中,入库调度任务为将商品上架至仓库存储区中各个货架中的任务。入库调度任务中包括各个待上架商品的商品信息、数量等。
需要说明的是,当执行入库调度任务时,停止执行出库调度任务。
S304,基于入库调度任务,获取各个待上架商品的商品信息,商品信息包括商品规格和历史时间段内待上架商品的出库频率。
在一些实施例中,当获取到入库调度任务后,即可以获取到各个待上架商品的商品规格和历史时间段内待上架商品的出库频率等信息。
S306,根据各待上架商品的商品信息,确定各待上架商品对应的目标上架货架,并控制各目标上架货架对应的目标机器人执行入库调度任务,将各待上架商品入库至各个对应的目标上架货架中。
其中,当获取到待上架商品的商品信息后,可以首先基于商品信息中的商品规格或类型,确定待上架商品对应的目标上架货架。例如,可以将各个待上架商品的商品规格和预设的尺寸进行比较,根据比较结果,得到目标上架货架。集合了货架到人与货箱到人方案的优点,可适用于不同商品规格的大中小件各类复杂拣选场景。
又例如,可以将各待上架商品的商品类型与预设类型进行比较,根据比较结果,得到目标上架货架。其中,预设类型包括散件货物、整箱存储的货物及料箱存储的货物这三种类型。
在一种可选择地实施例中,步骤S306,具体包括:
S3062,若待上架商品的商品规格大于预设的尺寸,将第二货架作为目标上架货架,控制第三机器人将第二货架搬运至工作站的第一上架工作平台,并在待上架商品入库至目标上架货架后,控制第三机器人将目标上架货架搬运回原始位置。
S3064,若待上架商品的商品规格小于等于预设的尺寸,则根据待上架商品的出库频率,确定各待上架商品对应的目标上架货架,并控制各目标上架货架对应的目标机器人执行入库调度任务,将各待上架商品入库至各个对应的目标上架货架中。
在另外一种可选择地实施例中,可以将各待上架商品的商品类型与预设类型进行比较,当比较结果为待上架商品的商品类型与散件货物的类型一致时,则将第二货架作为目标上架货架。当比较结果为待上架商品的商品类型与料箱存储货物的类型一致时,则将第一货架作为目标上架货架。
进一步地,步骤S3064,具体包括:
S3064a,若待上架商品的出库频率大于预设频率阈值,则将第二货架作为目标上架货架,控制第三机器人将待上架商品对应的第二货架搬运至工作站的第一上架工作平台,并在待上架商品入库至目标上架货架时,控制第三机器人将目标上架货架搬运回原始位置。
在一些实施例中,若待上架商品的出库频率大于预设频率阈值,获取第二货架中各个货位的载物状态。
在第二货架中存在未载物的货位的情况下,将第二货架作为目标上架货架,控制第三机器人将待上架商品对应的第二货架搬运至工作站的第一上架工作平台,并在待上架商品入库至目标上架货架时,控制第三机器人将目标上架货架搬运回原始位置。
若第二子货架中各个货位均载物的情况下,则控制第一机器人在第四运行区域运行,并将待上架商品搬运至第二区域中的第一子货架。
S3064b,若待上架商品的出库频率不大于预设频率阈值,将第一货架作为目标上架货架,控制第二机器人在第二运行区域运行,并将第一货架中的第一目标料箱搬运至工作站的第二上架工作平台,在待上架商品入库至第一目标料箱时,控制第二机器人将第一目标上架料箱搬运回第一货架,或者,将第三货架作为目标上架货架,控制第二机器人在第六运行区域运行,并将待上架商品对应的第二目标料箱搬运至工作站的第二上架工作平台,并在待上架商品入库至第二目标料箱时,控制第二机器人将第二目标料箱搬运回第三货架。
在本公开实施例中,可以通过商品规格以及待上架商品的历史出库频率,综合考虑入库的分配方式,以及对应的上架货架,能够合理分配存储区域,以便更好的服务于商品出库。
上述实施例对仓储系统调度方法中的入库调度进行了说明,在仓储系统调度过程中,还需要进行理货。现以一个实施例对仓储系统调度过程中的理货调度进行说明。在一个实施例中,如图25所示,仓储系统调度方法,还包括:
S402,获取各个工作站的工作状态以及下一波次的多个出库订单。
需要说明的是,各个工作站在工作时,工作状态为工作中。工作站在未工作时,工作状态为空闲。下一波次的多个出库订单为即将要执行出库任务的出库订单。
S404,在各个工作站的工作状态为工作中的情况下,则触发仓储系统的自动理货模式,控制第一机器人基于下一波次各个出库订单的订单信息在所第一运行区域或者第四运行区域运行,将各个待理货货物的料箱从当前货位搬运至目标货位。
在一些实施例中,当各个工作站的工作状态为工作中的情况下,则可以在执行出库调度任务的同时,进行理货任务,可以基于下一波次各个出库订单的订单信息,进行优化分配,将下一波次的出库订单中各个商品的货位进行调整,确定目标货物,也即机器人若按照目标货位执行下一波次各个出库订单的出库调度任务时,能够以最 短的路线行进,或者,机器人执行搬运次数最优。
可选地,在待理货货物对应第一区域的第一货架时,可以将待理货货物调整至距离工作站较近的货架中的空闲货位中。
可选地,在待理货货物对应第二区域的第二货架时,可以将同一订单中的待理货货物尽量调整至同一第二货架中,以便于后续机器人可以直接将一个订单的待出库货物进行出库。
当确定了目标货位后,则可以控制第一机器人基于下一波次各个出库订单的订单信息在所第一运行区域运行,将各个待理货货物从初始所在的货架搬运至各出库订单中的各个目标货物对应的目标货位。也可以控制第一机器人在第四运行区域运行,将各待理货货物从初始所在的货架搬运至各出库订单中的各个目标货物对应的目标货位。
S406,在各个工作站的工作状态均为空闲的情况下,控制第一机器人将待理货货物对应的当前料箱和目标理货货箱搬运至工作站,在获取到理货完成指令后,控制第一机器人基于下一波次各个出库订单的订单信息在所第一运行区域运行将各当前料箱和目标理货货箱从第一理货工作平台搬运至初始位置。
在一些实施例中,当各个工作站的工作状态均为空闲的情况下,则可以控制第一机器人将待理货货物搬运至工作站,以使工作人员在将待理货货物确定目标货架和/或目标货位后,触发理货完成指令,则可以控制第一机器人基于下一波次各个出库订单的订单信息在所第一运行区域运行将各待理货货物从工作站搬运至各出库订单中的各个目标货物对应的目标货位。
S408,在各个工作站的工作状态均为空闲的情况下,控制第三机器人,将待理货货物对应的当前货架和目标理货货架搬运至工作站,在获取到理货完成指令后,控制第三机器人基于下一波次各个出库订单的订单信息在所第三运行区域运行将各当前货架和目标理货货架从第一理货工作平台搬运至初始位置。
在一些实施例中,当各个工作站的工作状态均为空闲的情况下,则可以控制第三机器人,将待理货货物对应的当前货架和目标理货货架搬运至工作站,在获取到理货完成指令后,控制第三机器人基于下一波次各个出库订单的订单信息在所第三运行区域运行将各当前货架和目标理货货架从第一理货工作平台搬运至初始位置。
需要说明的是,若对应第一布局中,第二货架仅为可搬运货架的情况下,只能针对第一区域中实现自动理货模式。
在本申请实施例中,可以基于两种不同的理货模式进行理货,以便于后续在执行下一波次出库调度任务时,已经有一个较为合理的货物存储摆放,进而优化货物出库效率,节省出库时间。
