Abstract
Provided are a parcel dropping method for a parcel picking system, a picking robot, and a picking system. The method includes providing a conveying device; operating the conveying device to receive a parcel and move towards a delivery target; and operating the conveying device to deliver the parcel to the delivery target after the conveying device moves to a delivery region. The motion speed of the conveying device is not equal to zero when the conveying device delivers the parcel.
Claims20
A parcel dropping method for a parcel sorting system, comprising:
- operating a conveying device to receive a parcel and move towards a delivery target;
- and delivering, by the conveying device, the parcel to the delivery target after the conveying device moves to a delivery region, wherein a motion speed of the conveying device is not equal to zero when the conveying device delivers the parcel:
- wherein the operating the conveying device to receive the parcel and move towards the delivery target comprises:
- delivering, by the conveying device, the parcel to the delivery target at a determined delivery speed in a determined delivery distance, wherein the determined delivery distance and the determined delivery speed are calculated according to a size parameter of a to-be-delivered parcel and a size parameter of the delivery target.

An item sorting system, comprising:
- at least one conveying device;
- a parcel supply region, which is configured to distribute a to-be-sorted item;
- a conveying region, which is configured for the at least one conveying device to move inside;
- a parcel dropping region, wherein the parcel dropping region comprises a plurality of sorting targets;
- and
- wherein the at least one conveying device is configured to convey the to-be-sorted item through the conveying region, and the at least one conveying device is configured to deliver the to-be-sorted item to a corresponding sorting target of the plurality of sorting targets in the parcel dropping region when the conveying device is in motion:
- wherein the at least one conveying device is further configured to deliver a parcel to a delivery target at a determined delivery speed in a determined delivery distance, wherein the determined delivery distance and the determined delivery speed are calculated according to a size parameter of a to-be-delivered parcel and a size parameter of the delivery target.

A sorting robot, comprising:
- a drive unit, which is configured to drive the sorting robot to move towards a delivery position after the sorting robot receives a parcel in a pickup region;
- a delivery unit, which is configured to deliver the parcel to a delivery target at the delivery position;
- and
- a control unit, which is configured to control the delivery unit to deliver the parcel to the delivery target at a determined delivery speed in a determined delivery distance, wherein the determined delivery distance and the determined delivery speed are calculated according to a size parameter of a to-be-delivered parcel and a size parameter of the delivery target.
