Handling method of a transport equipment set and transport equipment set

A handling method of a transport equipment set, the transport equipment set comprising:

• two or more exclusive transport storage sections, configured for storing cassettes;
• an intermediate storage section, disposed between two adjacent exclusive transport storage sections;
• an automatic warehousing device, configured to transport the cassettes and operative to move within the range of the corresponding exclusive transport storage section and the adjacent intermediate storage section;
• wherein the automatic warehousing device comprises a communication means;
• wherein the intermediate storage section is a common transport storage section shared by two automatic warehousing devices, the exclusive transport storage section is set corresponding to each automatic warehousing device, and is arranged adjacent to the intermediate storage section;
• wherein the handling method comprises:
• obtaining a current instruction executed by the automatic warehousing device;
• if the current instruction is a first instruction, detecting, by the automatic warehousing device through the communication means, whether a current instruction executed by another neighboring automatic warehousing device is the first instruction, and if the current instruction executed by the other neighboring automatic warehousing device is the first instruction, executing a second instruction and continuing to execute remaining instructions according to a priority order of instructions;
• if the current instruction is the second instruction, executing the current instruction by the automatic warehousing device;
• wherein the first instruction is a handling instruction of the automatic warehousing device involving the intermediate storage section, and the second instruction is a handling instruction of the automatic warehousing device according to which the automatic warehousing device does not need to pass through the intermediate storage section, and which only needs to be executed by the automatic warehousing device in the corresponding exclusive transport storage section.

A transport equipment set, comprising:

• two or more exclusive transport storage sections, configured for storing cassettes;
• an intermediate storage section, disposed between two adjacent exclusive transport storage sections;
• an automatic warehousing device, configured to transport the cassettes and operative to move within the range of the corresponding exclusive transport storage section and the adjacent intermediate storage section;
• an automatic warehousing device control system, configured to control the automatic warehousing device to transport the cassettes;
• wherein the intermediate storage section is disposed between two adjacent exclusive transport storage sections, and the automatic warehousing device is operative to move within the range of the corresponding exclusive transport storage section and the adjacent intermediate storage section;
• wherein the automatic warehousing device control system is configured to obtain a current instruction executed by the automatic warehousing device, and if the current instruction is a first instruction, determine whether the automatic warehousing device conflicts with another neighboring automatic warehousing device during execution;
• wherein if the automatic warehousing device conflicts with the other neighboring automatic warehousing device during execution, the automatic warehousing device skips the current instruction and turns to execute a second instruction;
• otherwise if the automatic warehousing device does not conflict with the other neighboring automatic warehousing device during execution, the automatic warehousing device executes the current instruction;
• and
• if the current instruction is the second instruction, the automatic warehousing device executes the current instruction;
• wherein the first instruction is a handling instruction of the automatic warehousing device involving the intermediate storage section, and the second instruction is a handling instruction of the automatic warehousing device according to which the automatic warehousing device does not need to pass through the intermediate storage section, and which only needs to be executed by the automatic warehousing device in the corresponding exclusive transport storage section.
