Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics sorting, in particular to a rope-drawing type sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] The automatic cargo sorting system is a key technology in the modern logistics industry. It uses advanced automation equipment and intelligent algorithms to automatically identify, classify and sort cargo of different types, specifications and destinations. This system can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of logistics processing and reduce manual errors and costs. With the vigorous development of e-commerce and the growing demand for logistics, the automatic sorting system plays an increasingly important role in express delivery, postal services, warehousing, distribution centers and other scenarios.

[0003] In the prior art, patent CN217646914U discloses an automatic sorting device, which has two sets of sorting shelves and a three-axis automatic sorting mechanism placed between the two sets of sorting shelves. The three-axis automatic sorting mechanism includes two sets of horizontal linear modules arranged in an upper and lower manner and a lifting linear module extending up and down. In this scheme, the structure of the three-axis automatic sorting mechanism is relatively complex, heavy, and costly, and the moving speed of the feeding mechanism is low and the scalability is also poor. When the stroke needs to be extended, the stroke of the linear module needs to be re-customized. Summary of the invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a low-cost rope-type sorting machine.

[0005] Technical solution: To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the rope-pulling sorting machine of the utility model comprises a collection shelf, a feeding mechanism, a moving beam and a rope-pulling mechanism;

[0006] The cargo collection rack includes a plurality of cargo collection units arranged in two dimensions on a vertical plane; the cargo collection units are in the form of material boxes or material baskets, etc., or can be fixed grids on the cargo collection units.

[0007] The movable beam can translate relative to the collection rack along a first direction; the feeding mechanism can translate relative to the movable beam along a second direction; the first direction is not parallel to the second direction; in this solution, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and in other solutions, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can also be set to other angles as needed;

[0008] At least three groups of the rope-pulling mechanisms directly or indirectly act on the feeding mechanism, and the directions of the forces exerted on the feeding mechanism by each rope-pulling mechanism are different. Each group of rope-pulling mechanisms can independently perform the operation of retracting and releasing the ropes to enable the feeding mechanism to move two-dimensionally in the vertical plane. In this way, the feeding mechanism can reach any collecting unit on the collection shelf and put the goods or packages into the collecting unit.

[0009] Furthermore, the first direction is a horizontal direction, so that when the pull rope mechanism drives the feeding mechanism to move up and down, it is not necessary to overcome the gravity of the moving beam, and the movement is more flexible. In this case, the feeding mechanism is preferably a vertically extending longitudinal beam.

[0010] In other schemes, the first direction can also be set to other directions as needed. For example, if the first direction is vertical and the moving beam is a horizontal beam arranged on the left and right, the driving of the feeding mechanism can also be achieved, but the gravity of the moving beam must be overcome. This scheme should also be regarded as falling within the scope of protection of this application.

[0011] Furthermore, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0012] Furthermore, a first guide rail for guiding the moving beam is fixed on the collection rack; a second guide rail for guiding the feeding mechanism is fixed on the moving beam, or the moving beam itself is the guiding component.

[0013] Furthermore, there are two groups of the collection shelves, and there is a lane between the two groups of the collection shelves for the loading mechanism to move.

[0014] Furthermore, the rope pulling mechanism includes a driving motor, a retractable wheel and a rope; the driving motor is drivingly connected to the retractable wheel; and the rope can be wound around the retractable wheel.

[0015] Furthermore, the number of the pull rope mechanisms is 4 groups, and the four groups are respectively placed at the four corners of the collection shelf, and the extension and retraction of each of the pull rope mechanisms is connected to the feeding mechanism.

[0016] Furthermore, two sets of first pull rope mechanisms connected to the feeding mechanism are installed on the collection rack; one end of the moving beam is installed with a set of second pull rope mechanisms connected to the feeding mechanism, and the two sets of the first pull rope mechanisms are located on both sides of the other end of the moving beam. In this solution, the first pull rope mechanism is arranged on the moving beam and the first pull rope mechanism moves with the moving beam, so that the force directions of the three sets of pull rope mechanisms form a large angle with each other, and the stable position control of the feeding mechanism can be achieved through the three sets of pull rope mechanisms.

[0017] Furthermore, a first pull rope mechanism acting on the moving beam is installed on the collection rack; and a second pull rope mechanism acting on the feeding mechanism is installed on the moving beam.

[0018] Furthermore, the cargo collecting unit can be disassembled relative to the main body of the cargo collecting shelf.

[0019] Beneficial effects: The rope-type sorting machine of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) The feeding mechanism is driven to lift and move horizontally by retracting and releasing ropes through multiple rope pulling mechanisms. The setting of the moving beam can prevent the feeding mechanism from shaking and maintain the stability of the feeding mechanism, so that the sorting machine can operate reliably. Compared with the traditional linear module driving method with rectangular coordinate layout, the rope driving method has a small structure volume, low cost, light weight of the moving part, and can achieve a higher operating speed.

[0021] (2) Good scalability: when more cargo collection units need to be added, only the installation position of the pull rope mechanism needs to be changed, and the modification cost is low. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a rope-drawing type sorting machine, which includes a collection rack 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a moving beam 3 and a rope-drawing mechanism 4.

[0032] The collection rack 1 includes a plurality of collection units 11 arranged two-dimensionally on a vertical plane; the collection units 11 are in the form of boxes or baskets, or can be fixed slots on the collection units 11. When the collection units 11 are in the form of boxes or baskets, the collection units 11 can be disassembled relative to the main body of the collection rack 1, so that the collected goods can be easily taken out of the collection rack 1.

[0033] The moving beam 3 can translate relative to the collection rack 1 along a first direction; the feeding mechanism 2 can translate relative to the moving beam 3 along a second direction; the first direction is not parallel to the second direction; in this embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and in other embodiments, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can also be set to other angles as needed;

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the rope pulling mechanism 4 includes a driving motor 41 , a retracting wheel 42 and a rope 43 ; the driving motor 41 is drivingly connected to the retracting wheel 42 ; and the rope 43 can be wound around the retracting wheel 42 .

[0035] At least three groups of the pull-rope mechanisms 4 directly or indirectly act on the feeding mechanism 2, and the directions of the forces exerted by the pull-rope mechanisms 4 on the feeding mechanism 2 are different. Each group of the pull-rope mechanisms 4 can independently perform the operation of retracting and releasing the ropes to enable the feeding mechanism 2 to move two-dimensionally in the vertical plane, so that the feeding mechanism 2 can reach any collecting unit 11 on the collection shelf 1 and put the goods or packages into the collecting unit 11.

[0036] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, there are four groups of the pull rope mechanism 4, which are respectively placed at the four corners of the collection rack 1, and the extension and contraction of each of the pull rope mechanism 4 is connected to the feeding mechanism 2. There are two groups of the collection racks 1, and there is a lane between the two groups of the collection racks 1 for the feeding mechanism 2 to move. The feeding mechanism 2 is a conveyor belt mechanism, which can output goods in both directions.

[0037] In the above structure, the feeding mechanism 2 is driven to lift and move horizontally by retracting and releasing the ropes through multiple rope pulling mechanisms 4. The setting of the moving beam 3 can prevent the feeding mechanism 2 from shaking and maintain the stability of the feeding mechanism 2, so that the sorting machine can operate reliably. Compared with the traditional linear module driving method with rectangular coordinate layout, the rope driving method has a small structure volume, low cost, light weight of the moving part, and can achieve a higher operating speed.

[0038] Preferably, the first direction is a horizontal direction, so that the pull rope mechanism 4 does not need to overcome the gravity of the moving beam 3 when driving the feeding mechanism 2 to move up and down, and the movement is more flexible. At this time, the feeding mechanism 2 is preferably a vertically extending longitudinal beam.

[0039] In other embodiments, the first direction can also be set to other directions as needed. For example, if the first direction is vertical and the moving beam 3 is a horizontal beam arranged on the left and right, the driving of the feeding mechanism 2 can also be achieved, but the gravity of the moving beam 3 must be overcome additionally. This solution should also be regarded as falling within the protection scope of this application.

[0040] Preferably, the collection rack 1 is fixed with a first guide rail 5 for guiding the moving beam 3; the moving beam 3 is fixed with a second guide rail for guiding the feeding mechanism 2, or the moving beam 3 itself is a guiding component. In the illustrated embodiment, the moving beam 3 itself is a guiding rod, and the number of the moving beams 3 is two.

[0041] During operation, the rope-pulling mechanism 4 drives the delivery mechanism 2 to a fixed position to obtain the goods. The control system obtains the position of the collection unit 11 corresponding to the order based on the order information corresponding to the goods, and drives each group of rope-pulling mechanisms 4 to operate to move the delivery mechanism 2 to the position of the target collection unit 11. Finally, the delivery mechanism 2 is controlled to operate to deliver the goods to the collection unit 11.

[0042] Second embodiment

[0043] This embodiment discloses a rope-type sorting machine, such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes a collection rack 1, a loading mechanism 2, a moving beam 3 and a pulling rope mechanism 4.

[0044] The collection rack 1 includes a plurality of collection units 11 arranged two-dimensionally on a vertical plane; the collection units 11 are in the form of boxes or baskets, or can be fixed slots on the collection units 11. When the collection units 11 are in the form of boxes or baskets, the collection units 11 can be disassembled relative to the main body of the collection rack 1, so that the collected goods can be easily taken out of the collection rack 1.

[0045] The moving beam 3 can translate in the horizontal direction relative to the collection rack 1 , and the loading mechanism 2 can rise and fall vertically relative to the moving beam 3 .

[0046] The pull rope mechanism 4 includes two types: a first pull rope mechanism 4a and a second pull rope mechanism 4b. Two groups of first pull rope mechanisms 4a connected to the feeding mechanism 2 are installed on the collection rack 1; one end of the moving beam 3 is installed with a group of second pull rope mechanisms 4b connected to the feeding mechanism 2, and the two groups of the first pull rope mechanisms 4a are located on both sides of the other end of the moving beam 3. In the illustrated embodiment, the first pull rope mechanism 4a is at the upper end of the moving beam 3, and the two second pull rope mechanisms 4b are at both sides of the lower end of the moving beam 3. In other embodiments, the second pull rope mechanism 4b can also be set on both sides of the upper end of the moving beam 3, and the first pull rope mechanism 4a can be set on the lower side of the moving beam 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first pull-rope mechanism 4a is set on the moving beam 3 and is made to move with the moving beam 3, so that the force directions of the three groups of pull-rope mechanisms form a large angle with each other, and the stable position control of the feeding mechanism 2 can be achieved through the three groups of pull-rope mechanisms.

[0048] Third embodiment

[0049] This embodiment discloses a rope-type sorting machine, such as Figure 6 As shown, it includes a collection rack 1, a loading mechanism 2, a moving beam 3 and a pulling rope mechanism 4.

[0050] The collection rack 1 includes a plurality of collection units 11 arranged two-dimensionally on a vertical plane; the collection units 11 are in the form of boxes or baskets, or can be fixed slots on the collection units 11. When the collection units 11 are in the form of boxes or baskets, the collection units 11 can be disassembled relative to the main body of the collection rack 1, so that the collected goods can be easily taken out of the collection rack 1.

[0051] The moving beam 3 can translate in the horizontal direction relative to the collection rack 1 , and the loading mechanism 2 can rise and fall vertically relative to the moving beam 3 .

[0052] The rope pulling mechanism 4 includes two types: a first rope pulling mechanism 4a and a second rope pulling mechanism 4b. The first rope pulling mechanism 4a acting on the moving beam 3 is installed on the collection shelf 1; the second rope pulling mechanism 4b acting on the feeding mechanism 2 is installed on the moving beam 3. The two first rope pulling mechanisms 4a are respectively located on the left and right sides of the moving beam 3, and the second rope pulling mechanism 4b is located on the upper side of the feeding mechanism 2.

[0053] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
