Article sorting system and sorting method

Abstract

The invention relates to an article sorting system and a sorting method. The sorting system comprises a storage device (1), a conveying device (2) and a dispatching system; the storage device (1) is used for driving a to-be-picked article in the storage device (1) to move after an article moving-out instruction is received; the conveying device (2) is used for conveying articles; and the dispatching system is used for enabling the conveying device (2) to move to the storage device (1) where the to-be-picked articles are located according to the storage positions of the to-be-picked articles inthe storage device (1), so that the to-be-picked articles are driven to be separated from the storage device (1) and then fall on the conveying device (2). According to the system, through cooperation of the storage device with the automatic article moving-out function and the conveying device, automatic sorting of the articles can be achieved, the link of manual sorting is omitted, the sorting process can be simplified, the sorting efficiency in a warehouse can be improved, and the safety of the sorting process is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of logistics and warehousing, and in particular to an item picking system and a picking method. Background technique [0002] In the current unmanned warehouse, the work mode of goods to people is generally adopted, that is, the goods are put on the shelf. After receiving the upstream order, the dispatching system will send an automatic guided transport vehicle (full name: " Automated Guided Vehicle”, referred to as AGV), transports different shelves in the warehouse to the preset picking work position, and then manually picks the required goods from the shelves. [0003] The current shelves generally have double-sided storage space, and each side of the storage space is divided into multiple layers, and each layer of storage space is provided with different storage compartments for storing items. After receiving the upstream order, the scheduling system will locate the items in the order to the st...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] 3. When the AGV consigns the shelf, it often breaks away from the guide line due to the deviation of the center of gravity of the shelf, which causes the AGV to be unbalanced. driving speed

[0008] 4. After the current shelf picking is completed, it is necessary to further judge whether the shelf should be returned to the warehouse or go to another picking work position. The management of the shelf is complicated

[0009] The shortcomings of the above picking methods will reduce the picking efficiency of goods in the warehouse
