Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The specific implementation solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are introduced in detail below.

The invention provides a method for sorting goods at a logistics sorting station. The barcode information and image information of the goods are obtained through an identifier and a camera successively. The identifier is used to compensate for the barcode information of the goods that cannot be recognized by the camera when the bags are folded, so that the goods can be sorted. Reduce manual workload.

Embodiment 1

Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a logistics sorting station provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , this embodiment provides a logistics sorting station, which generally includes a storage control system 10 , a circulation conveyor belt 20 and an identifier 31 . The warehousing control system 10 is generally located in the backend of the logistics sorting station, and stores information and preset sorting rules for all goods in the logistics sorting station. The warehousing control system 10 operates according to the requirements. The preset sorting rules sort all the goods in the logistics sorting station. The preset sorting rules can be existing rules that can realize the sorting of goods, and this application does not specifically limit them. The circulation conveyor belt 20 is used to circulate goods. The goods include a first category of goods. The first category of goods includes bagged goods. The bagged goods include at least two single pieces of goods and all the goods are placed on In the same container bag, the multiple single items of goods have at least one identical feature, for example, the next destination of the single items in the same container type cargo is the same, and the container bag goods as a whole are in It flows on the circulation conveyor belt 20 . The first category of goods is provided with a chip, the chip contains barcode information of the corresponding goods, and the chip can be placed in the collection bag. The identifier 31 is connected to the warehouse control system 10 and is disposed above the circulation conveyor belt 20. When the first category of goods on the circulation conveyor belt 20 flows to the When the identifier is within the recognition range of the identifier 31 , the identifier 31 reads the barcode information and sends the barcode information to the warehouse control system 10 . After receiving the barcode information sent by the identifier 31, the warehouse control system 10 sorts the first category of goods according to the preset sorting rules.

The above-mentioned logistics sorting station is equipped with an identifier 31, and a chip that can be identified by the identifier 31 is correspondingly placed in the first category of goods. During the sorting process, when the first category of goods flows to the When the identifier 31 is within the recognition range, the identifier 31 can read the barcode information contained in its chip, so that the first category of goods can be identified, and the goods will not be unrecognizable and end up on the circulation conveyor belt. 20% of the backflow phenomenon, and no manual participation is required, which reduces the manual workload and improves the efficiency of sorting.

As an example of this application, the goods also include a second category of goods, and the second category of goods includes single pieces of goods, that is, goods that circulate on the circulation conveyor belt 20 alone. The logistics sorting station also includes a collection device 40, and the collection device 40 includes a camera. The collection device 40 is located above the circulation conveyor belt 20 and at the rear end of the identifier 31. The collection device 40 is connected to the warehousing control system 10 and is used to collect all the information on the circulation conveyor belt 20. The image information of the goods is collected and the collected image information is sent to the storage control system 10 . After receiving the image information sent by the collection device 40, the warehouse control system 10 removes the image information corresponding to the first category of goods and retains the image corresponding to the second category of goods. information to sort the second category of goods according to the preset sorting rules. In some cases, the collection device 40 can obtain information about the first category of goods. In order to avoid repeated calculations, the image information representing the first category of goods needs to be deleted from the image information collected by the collection device 40 .

As an example of this application, the logistics sorting station also includes a channel machine 30. The channel machine 30 is arranged above the circulation conveyor belt 20, and the channel machine 30 is provided with a device for fixing the identification. The installation position of the identifier 31 is convenient for fixing the identifier 31.

As a better example of this application, a single-piece separation device 50 is provided on the circulation conveyor belt 20. The single-piece separation device 50 is located at the front end of the identifier 31. The single-piece separation device 50 is used to separate The goods in a disorderly stacked state are separated so that the goods pass through the tunnel machine 30 one by one. Wherein, the single piece separation equipment 50 may be a robotic arm. After the goods are unloaded from the vehicle, they are usually stacked together in disorder. If the goods are kept in a stacked state for subsequent sorting, the identifier 31 and the collection device 40 will not be able to accurately obtain the barcode information and image information of the goods. , therefore, the goods need to be separated. This application uses the single-piece separation device 50 to separate the goods in a disorderly stacked state, which can reduce the manual workload and ensure the smooth progress of subsequent sorting.

Wherein, the identifier 31 includes a radio frequency identifier 31, and the chip includes a radio frequency identification chip.
