Abstract
An object sorting system includes: a storage device configured to drive an object to be sorted in the storage device to move after an object moving-out instruction is received; a transport device configured to transport the object to be sorted; and a dispatching system configured to enable the transport device to move to the storage device where the object to be sorted is located according to a storage position of the object to be sorted in the storage device, so that the object to be sorted is driven to depart from the storage device and then falls to the transport device.
Claims15
An object sorting system, comprising:
- a storage device configured to drive an object to be sorted in the storage device to move after an object moving-out instruction is received;
- a transport device configured to transport the object to be sorted;
- a dispatching system configured to enable the transport device to move to the storage device where the object to be sorted is located according to a storage position of the object to be sorted in the storage device so that the object to be sorted is driven to depart from the storage device and then falls to the transport device;
- and
- a packing and re-checking platform configured to pack and re-check objects;
- wherein a plurality of storage devices are provided, and the dispatching system is configured to enable the transport device to move to a next storage device after objects sorting of one storage device is completed and in a case that a current sorting task is not completed, and enable the transport device to transport the objects to the packing and re-checking platform in a case that the current sorting task is completed.
An object sorting method, comprising:
- enabling a transport device to move to a storage device where an object to be sorted is located according to the storage position of the object to be sorted in the storage device;
- enabling the storage device to drive the object to be sorted in the storage device to move in response to an object moving-out instruction, so that the object to be sorted departs from the storage device and then falls to the transport device;
- and
- wherein a plurality of storage devices are provided, determining whether a current sorting task is completed after objects sorting of one storage device is completed, if the current sorting task is completed, enabling the transport device to transport the objects to a packing and re-checking platform, and if the current sorting task is not completed, enabling the transport device to move to the next storage device.
