Rapid multi-variety robot material sorting device and method

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of warehouse logistics, and particularly relates to a rapid multi-variety robot material sorting device and method. Comprising a control cabinet, a sorting robot, a transferring mechanism, a storage box, a conveying line and a sorting box arranged on the conveying line. The sorting robot is arranged on one side of the conveying line, is mounted in the transferring mechanism and is used for sorting the materials in the storage box into the sorting box; the transferring mechanism is provided with a storage box, and the transferring mechanism is connected with the control cabinet and used for receiving the material information and conveying the storage box into the grabbing range of the sorting robot; the control cabinet is connected with the sorting robot and the transferring mechanism through cables and used for controlling the sorting robot to sort materials and sending material information to the transferring mechanism. Storage box replacement and sorting operation are physically isolated in an operation area and can be executed in parallel in a non-interfering mode; therefore, high-speed continuous proceeding of material sorting operation in multi-variety and small-batch orders is guaranteed, and the speed and efficiency of material sorting operation are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of warehousing and logistics, in particular to a fast multi-variety robot material picking device and method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the demand for orders for various industrial products has shown a development trend of small batches and multiple varieties, which has brought about a sharp increase in the types and quantities of materials distributed in the production process, which has greatly increased the work intensity of material picking. In addition, the efficiency of picking determines the efficiency of goods out of the warehouse, which is the key to the normal or efficient operation of warehousing operations. Therefore, the development of intelligent picking technology and the adoption of advanced automatic picking solutions have become an inevitable trend. [0003] Domestic and foreign companies have conducted in-depth research on the above automatic material picking device. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The obvious disadvantages of the above methods are: first, the efficiency of picking is relatively low when there are multiple varieties, and it is necessary to switch storage boxes frequently when an order contains multiple materials, and the picking operation will be interrupted and suspended when switching storage boxes

The second is that there is a high requirement for the consistency of the shape and size of the selected materials, and it can only handle materials with relatively single and regular outer packaging, such as express parcels. It is often powerless to deal with a large number of materials with irregular shapes and sizes that need to be processed in actual industrial production.
