Logistics sorting equipment and article conveying method

Abstract

The invention discloses logistics sorting equipment and an article conveying method. The logistics sorting equipment can control the operation of each conveyor in a regional manner through firstly increasing a transverse distance among articles and then adopting a longitudinal distancing device composed of a plurality of conveyors which are distributed in the form of a matrix and have independentpower, and the operation of one conveyor does not affect the other conveyors, so that interference of conveying among the articles at different positions can be effectively simplified, control logic is simplified, and control precision is improved; meanwhile, images acquired by an image acquisition device are used for providing control basis, so that compared with a photoelectric sensor, the provided data range is wider, conveying for all the articles on the longitudinal distancing device can be better planned integrally, and higher flexibility and efficiency are achieved; and meanwhile, a centering conveyor is arranged after separation, the articles output one by one can be output onto subsequent equipment at a unified position, so that simplification for the structure and control difficulty of the subsequent equipment is benefited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of logistics equipment, in particular to logistics sorting equipment and an article conveying method. Background technique [0002] In the logistics sorting process, in order to improve the sorting efficiency, the items to be sorted are usually placed in piles on the conveyor line for delivery. Before sorting by the balance wheel sorter or swing arm machine or cross belt equipment , it is necessary to separate the piles of transported items and transport them to the sorting position one by one to achieve sorting. [0003] In order to realize automatic sorting, various separation equipment that transports a large number of input items one by one has become the focus of more and more logistics equipment companies. [0004] The traditional item-by-item output equipment often firstly pulls the lateral distance of the items through the horizontal distance device and then transports them to a separation device. The separat...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The traditional item-by-item output equipment is often to first pull the lateral distance of the items through the horizontal distance device and then transport them to a separation device. The separation device is often a row of belt conveyors, and the separation device where each item is located is determined by a photoelectric sensor. The sequence of the belt conveyor and its entry into the separation equipment, so as to control the speed or start and stop of each belt conveyor of the separation equipment to realize the output of a single item. Since there is only one row of belt conveyors and the sequence signal is generated by the photoelectric sensor, it cannot be carried out in different areas. control, making it difficult to control

[0005] Since the width of the separation equipment is often wide, the goods cannot be output in a uniform position at different width positions of the separation equipment, which increases the difficulty of the layout of subsequent conveying and sorting equipment
