Abstract

An article package filling method, comprising: selecting a packaging container for an order article in an order container; picking out the order article from the order container and putting same into the packaging container; and injecting a filling medium into a filling space of the packaging container by using a filling equipment, wherein the filling medium has a specific shape before being injected into the filling space, and can form a spatial shape consistent with that of the filling space after being injected into the filling space. According to the filling method, various specifications or types of packaging containers storing the order articles can be filled, so that the supporting and protecting effects on the order articles are implemented, and the package filling efficiency and applicability are improved.

Claims (25)

1. An items packaging method, comprising:

acquiring a user order of items;

performing packaging analysis on the items indicated by the user order, based on attributes of said items pre-stored in a database, and determining a packaging model, wherein the packaging model defines a spatial placement posture of the items indicated by the user order in a packaging box;

determining a packaging sequence in which the items indicated by the userorder are to be placed into a turnover box located on a put wall, based on the spatial placement posture of the items indicated by the user order in the packaging box;

transmitting a first instruction to a picking robot to repeatedly pick items indicated by the user order based on the packaging sequence and to place the picked items into the turnover box until the turnover box is filled with the items indicated by the user order;

moving the put wall on which the filled turnover box is located to a packing work space; and

transmitting a second instruction to a packaging robot to move the items indicated by the user order from the filled turnover box, located at the packing work space, and place the items indicated by the user order successively into the packaging box.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second instruction is further configured to instruct the packaging robot to move the items in the turnover box to the packaging box successively according to the spatial placement posture.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the packaging model further defines packaging box information, the packaging box information comprising a quantity of packaging boxes required for the items indicated by the userorder and at least one of: a size and type of the packaging box required for the items indicated by the user order.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

matching a packaging box for the items indicated by the user order according to the packaging box information; and

transmitting a third instruction, the third instruction being used to instruct a transfer robot to transfer the matched packaging box to allow the packaging robot to perform a packaging operation.

5. An items packaging system, comprising:

a control system, at least one picking robot and at least one packaging robot, wherein the control system is configured to:

receive a user order of the items;

analyze the items indicated by the user order of the items based on attributes of said items pre-stored in a database;

determine a packaging model, wherein the packaging model defines a spatial placement posture of the items indicated by the user order in a packaging box and an item packaging sequence in which the items indicated by the user order are to be placed in a turnover box located on a put wall, based on the spatial placement posture of the items indicated by the user order in the packaging box, and

transmit a first instruction to the at least one picking robot and a second instruction to the at least one packaging robot according to the packaging model;

the at least one picking robot is configured to:

receive the first instruction, and repeatedly pick items indicated by the user order based on the packaging sequence and to place the picked items into the turnover box located on the put wall until the turnover box is filled with the items indicated by the user order;

wherein the put wall on which the filled turnover box is located is configured to be moved to a packing work space; and

the at least one packaging robot is configured to:

receive the second instruction, and move the items indicated by the user order from the filled turnover box, located at the packing work space, and place the items indicated by the user order successively into the packaging box.

6. The system according to claim 5 , wherein

the packaging robot is configured to move the items in the turnover box to the packaging box successively by moving the items in the filled turnover box to the packaging box successively according to the spatial placement posture.
