Abstract

A material management method applied to a battery production line includes controlling, after a plurality of battery cells placed on a plurality of stations reach designated code scanning positions, a plurality of blocking devices to work in a first working state according to a predetermined sequence, thereby blocking identifications of the battery cells on the corresponding stations, acquiring code scanning results of a plurality of code scanning devices corresponding to the blocking devices for the identifications, respectively, when the blocking devices work in the first working state, and determining, according to the code scanning results, whether a binding relationship between the code scanning devices and the stations is abnormal.

Claims (22)

1. A material management method carried out by a material management apparatus, applied to a battery production line, wherein the battery production line is provided with a code scanning system and comprises a plurality of stations, and the code scanning system is configured with a plurality of blocking devices each corresponding to one station and a plurality of code scanning devices each bound to one station, the method comprising:

controlling, after a plurality of battery cells placed on the plurality of stations reach designated code scanning positions, the blocking devices to work in a first working state according to a predetermined sequence, thereby blocking identifications of the battery cells on the corresponding stations;

acquiring code scanning results of the code scanning devices corresponding to the blocking devices for the identifications, respectively, when the blocking devices work in the first working state; and

determining, according to the code scanning results, whether a binding relationship between the code scanning devices and the stations is abnormal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , comprising:

controlling, in a case that the plurality of battery cells on the plurality of stations have not reached the designated code scanning positions, all the blocking devices to work in a second working state, wherein, when the blocking devices work in the second working state, the code scanning devices are able to scan the identifications of the battery cells.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein controlling, after the plurality of battery cells placed on the plurality of stations reach the designated code scanning positions, the blocking devices to work in the first working state according to the predetermined sequence, thereby blocking the identifications of the battery cells on the corresponding stations, comprises:

controlling, according to the predetermined sequence, the blocking devices one by one to switch from the second working state to the first working state; and

controlling other blocking devices other than the blocking devices working in the first working state to maintain the second working state.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein controlling, after the plurality of battery cells placed on the plurality of stations reach the designated code scanning positions, the blocking devices to work in the first working state according to the predetermined sequence, thereby blocking the identifications of the battery cells on the corresponding stations, comprises:

controlling, after the plurality of battery cells placed on the plurality of stations reach the designated code scanning positions, the code scanning devices to perform initial code scanning verification; and

controlling, after passing the initial code scanning verification, the blocking devices to work in the first working state according to the predetermined sequence, thereby blocking the identifications of the battery cells on the corresponding stations.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, according to the code scanning results, whether the binding relationship between the code scanning devices and the stations is abnormal, comprises:

confirming, in response to the code scanning results being a first result, that the binding relationship between the code scanning devices and the stations is abnormal, the first result being a code scanning result that the code scanning devices corresponding to the blocking devices are able to scan codes normally while the blocking devices work in the first working state.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein determining, according to the code scanning results, whether the binding relationship between the code scanning devices and the stations is abnormal, comprises:

confirming, in response to the code scanning results being a second result, that the binding relationship between the code scanning devices and the stations is normal, the second result being a code scanning result that the code scanning devices corresponding to the blocking devices are not able to scan codes normally while the blocking devices work in the first working state.

7. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

issuing an alarm prompt in response to determining according to the code scanning results that the binding relationship between the code scanning devices and the stations is abnormal.

8. A computer device, comprising:

a processor, and

a memory storing a computer program that, when executed by the processor, implements the method according to claim 1 .

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by one or more processors, implements the method according to claim 1 .
