具体实施方式detailed description
下面，结合附图以及具体实施方式，对本发明做进一步描述，需要说明的是，在不相冲突的前提下，以下描述的各实施例之间或各技术特征之间可以任意组合形成新的实施例。In the following, the present invention will be further described with reference to the drawings and specific implementations. It should be noted that, provided that there is no conflict, the following embodiments or technical features can be combined to form new embodiments. .
实施例一Example one
在本实施例中，一种智能分拣***用于分拣邮件，自动化分拣邮件，提高邮件投递效率。所述智能分拣***包括有客户端服务器、分拣服务器和PLC设备，分拣服务器通过API接口与客户端服务器、PLC设备之间实现信号连通。In this embodiment, an intelligent sorting system is used for sorting mail, automatically sorting mail, and improving mail delivery efficiency. The intelligent sorting system includes a client server, a sorting server and a PLC device, and the sorting server realizes signal communication with the client server and the PLC device through an API interface.
客户端服务器，属于企业管理***，用于管理企业的各种资源，在客户端服务器中内置有ERP数据，所述ERP数据中包括有邮件订单、订单编号、分拣方案、邮件分拣订单计划等，其中邮件分拣订单计划内记录了每个邮件的分拣地址编号、分拣格口位置等邮件分配地址信息，从中可获知每个邮件的最终分拣 目的地。其中分拣方案是根据企业的分拣模式进行自定义设置，可设置为一对多的单轮分拣、一对一的多轮分拣或自定义分拣模式，从而达到利用客户自身原有的信息管理***来控制分拣设备的目的，从而提高分拣效率。The client server belongs to the enterprise management system and is used to manage various resources of the enterprise. ERP data is built in the client server, and the ERP data includes mail order, order number, sorting plan, and mail sorting order plan The mail sorting order plan records the sorting address number, sorting grid position and other mail distribution address information of each mail, from which the final sorting destination of each mail can be learned. Among them, the sorting scheme is customized according to the sorting mode of the enterprise. It can be set to one-to-many single-round sorting, one-to-one multi-round sorting or custom sorting mode, so as to utilize the customer’s own original The purpose of the information management system to control the sorting equipment, thereby improving the sorting efficiency.
而客户端服务器通过API接口与分拣服务器信号相连接，分拣服务器可通过API接口自动调取客户端服务内的企业资源，提取出每个邮件的分拣订单计划，从分拣订单计划中可获知每个邮件相匹配落格的格口信息。The client server is connected to the sorting server signal through the API interface. The sorting server can automatically call the enterprise resources in the client service through the API interface, extract the sorting order plan for each mail, and extract the sorting order plan from the sorting order plan. You can get the information of the grid mouth that matches each mail.
上述分拣服务器通过API接口与客户端服务器、PLC设备信号相连通，实时接收PLC设备所获取的识别信息，藉由客户端服务器中的ERP数据对与该识别信息相匹配的分拣订单计划进行查询，从中获取分拣格口信息后将其生成分拣指令传送到PLC设备中，其中分拣指令是根据分拣订单计划中的落格的格口信息所生成，PLC设备接收到该分拣指令后直接控制分拣设备将邮件传输到相应格口位置区域。The above sorting server communicates with the client server and PLC equipment signals through the API interface, and receives the identification information obtained by the PLC equipment in real time, and uses the ERP data in the client server to plan the sorting order matching the identification information. Inquiry, after obtaining the sorting grid information, send the sorting instruction to the PLC equipment, where the sorting instruction is generated according to the grid information in the sorting order plan, and the PLC equipment receives the sorting Directly control the sorting equipment to transfer the mail to the corresponding grid position area after the instruction.
所述分拣服务器还与缓存服务器和本地数据库相连接，其中缓存服务器的数据来自客户端提前推送到API接口的数据，API接口捕获数据后会自动缓存到缓存服务器和本地数据库中。The sorting server is also connected with a cache server and a local database, wherein the data of the cache server comes from the data that the client pushes to the API interface in advance, and the data is automatically cached in the cache server and the local database after the API interface captures the data.
分拣服务器通过邮件信息查询接口与客户端服务器信号相连通，如图2所示，当分拣服务器对识别信息进行查询时，优先查询本地高速缓存服务器，其中高速缓存服务器依照配置文件最多存储2万条记录；如果高速缓存中查询不到资料则立即查询本地数据库；如果本地数据库中仍无资料则立即对接到客户端服务器中进行查询，如果都查询失败，则返回分拣指令99，99为与PLC设备约定的异常出口指令，当分拣设备接收到异常出口指令后，控制分拣设备将该邮件运输到异常格口区域中。The sorting server communicates with the client server signal through the mail information query interface. As shown in Figure 2, when the sorting server queries the identification information, it will first query the local cache server. The cache server stores up to 2 according to the configuration file. Ten thousand records; if there is no data in the cache, query the local database immediately; if there is still no data in the local database, immediately connect to the client server for query, if the query fails, the sorting instruction 99, 99 is returned The abnormal exit instruction agreed with the PLC equipment, when the sorting equipment receives the abnormal exit instruction, it controls the sorting equipment to transport the mail to the abnormal grid area.
而分拣服务器通过邮件信息推送接口与客户端服务器相连通，将客户端服务器中的ERP数据推送到分拣服务器中，当客户端服务器对接到该接口，会预先推送ERP数据中的部分条码信息，此接口接收到推送信息后存储在本地数据库中并更新高速缓存服务器，以此减轻接口复核，达到迅速准确相应的目的。The sorting server is connected to the client server through the mail information push interface, and pushes the ERP data in the client server to the sorting server. When the client server is connected to the interface, it will push part of the barcode information in the ERP data in advance. , This interface stores the push information in the local database and updates the cache server after receiving the push information, so as to reduce the interface review and achieve the goal of rapid and accurate response.
为了提高***的安全性及稳定性，如图1所示，分拣服务器、客户端服务器均在设置有防火墙的情况下通过路由器与PLC设备信息相连通，而PLC设备通过多端口的转发器与多个分拣设备相连接，即使网络中某一条线路发生故障，并不影响其他线路的工作，确保信号传输的稳定性。In order to improve the security and stability of the system, as shown in Figure 1, the sorting server and the client server are all connected with the PLC device information through a router with a firewall, and the PLC device is connected to the PLC through a multi-port transponder. Multiple sorting devices are connected, even if one line in the network fails, it will not affect the work of other lines, ensuring the stability of signal transmission.
而PLC设备所接收的识别信息是通过摄像头/手持设备或扫描仪拍摄邮件的条码获得的，而在本实施例中，在分拣设备前端的传输线上至少设置有多台高清相机，当邮件进入传输线入口处时，高清相机对邮件正面的条码进行拍照，从而获得该邮件的识别信息。当邮件拍摄成功，将从客户接口处获得分拣格口号呈现在显示设备上；若自动扫描不成功(由于褶皱，涂改等原因)，可使用扫描设备手动扫描或采用键盘输入条码信息等方式进行识别。当获取的识别信息为正常订单的信息时，该邮件经过分拣设备传输到与正常订单相对应的格口位置区域中；当获取的识别信息为失败订单、收容订单或异常订单的信息时，邮件经过分拣设备传输到异常格口位置区域中。The identification information received by the PLC device is obtained by taking the barcode of the mail by the camera/handheld device or scanner. In this embodiment, there are at least multiple high-definition cameras on the transmission line at the front of the sorting device. When the mail enters At the entrance of the transmission line, the high-definition camera takes pictures of the barcode on the front of the mail to obtain the identification information of the mail. When the mail is shot successfully, the sorting grid slogan will be obtained from the customer interface and displayed on the display device; if the automatic scanning is unsuccessful (due to wrinkles, alterations, etc.), you can use the scanning device to manually scan or use the keyboard to enter barcode information, etc. Recognition. When the acquired identification information is the information of a normal order, the mail is transferred to the grid location area corresponding to the normal order through the sorting equipment; when the acquired identification information is the information of a failed order, a containment order or an abnormal order, The mail is transferred to the abnormal grid location area through the sorting equipment.
