Control method and system for dynamic lattice of package sorting machine

Abstract

The invention discloses a control system for a dynamic lattice of a package sorting machine. The control system comprises a package sorting machine database, a monitoring module, a management module, a decoding module, a communication module, a package supply control module, a main ring control module, a lattice control module, a bar code reading module and a tray control module; the main ring control module is an intelligent module consisting of a PLC, a control panel and a motor part, is used for carrying out start-stop and constant-speed operation control on a main ring of the sorting machine, and communicates with the package supply control module, the bar code reading module, the decoding module, the tray control module, the lattice control module and the monitoring module in real time; after mail online information is received, the bar code reading module is noticed to read and analyze; and after physical lattice information is obtained by mail decoding and distributing according to the read and analyzed results, the tray control module is noticed to drop mails onto lattices according to specified lattices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of logistics equipment, and in particular relates to a method and system for controlling dynamic bins of a package sorting machine. Background technique [0002] With the development of the logistics industry, the application of package sorting machines is becoming more and more extensive. The package sorting machine is one of the key equipments in the logistics distribution center. The sorting system can realize the accurate and fast work of the logistics distribution center. The package sorting machine can perform continuous operations of automatically sorting, boxing (or bagging), and sealing (or bagging) mail according to barcode, user, place name, product name, etc. according to user requirements and site conditions. [0003] At present, the package sorting machine needs to configure the sorting scheme before automatic sorting. The sorting scheme specifies the physical slots corresponding to each direc...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] This control method can be solved by increasing the number of corresponding physical grids for the routes with large business volumes. However, in the same shift, the physical positions and numbers of the corresponding grids for each route are still relatively fixed, and the grids cannot be changed in real time during production. mouth direction

In actual application, due to the large change in the number of mails processed by extensions on the same shift every day, in certain periods of time, some directions are configured with checkpoints but there are no mails or the number of unchecked mails is very small; some directions have a sudden volume of mails. Increase, the physical bins designated in advance are too late to store all of them, and some mail cannot fall into the normal bins, only fall into the storage bins instead, and cannot be sorted normally

Therefore, this fixed grid control method has certain limitations. In the case of changing business volumes, the existing grids of the sorter cannot be fully utilized, which affects the actual processing efficiency of the sorter.
