Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of parcel sorting technology, and more specifically, it relates to a reusable compartment of a cross-belt sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] A typical cross-belt sorter's compartment consists of chute plates and fixed compartment plates. The chute plates are fixed to both sides of the cross-belt trolley along the sorter's running direction at a certain angle. The compartment plates are fixed to the chute plates at specific intervals, with two adjacent compartment plates and the chute plate between them forming a compartment. After being unloaded from the cross-belt trolley, packages slide down the chute plates into the designated compartment. The compartment plates act as a barrier, preventing packages from sliding into other compartments. As the sorter speed increases, the time the cross-belt trolley spends in the designated compartment drop zone is shortened. Due to factors such as package slippage or floating, packages may slip into other compartments after unloading. Currently, to avoid errors in drop zones at high-speed sorters, the distance between the two compartment plates is increased, i.e., the drop zone is enlarged. This reduces the number of compartments within a certain zone, making traditional compartments prone to dropping into the wrong compartment after the sorter speeds up. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a reusable sorting slot for a cross-belt sorting machine, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art where packages are easily misplaced in the traditional sorting slots after the sorting machine speeds up.
[0004] The purpose and effect of this utility model of a cross-belt sorting machine with reusable slots are achieved by the following specific technical means:
[0005] A reusable grid for a cross-belt sorting machine includes a chute plate divided into sections A and B. Two sets of fixed grid plates are mounted on the top of the chute plate, and a swing arm grid plate is positioned between the two sets of fixed grid plates. Each swing arm grid plate includes a rotatable shaft, a grid plate baffle, a bearing seat, and a grid plate connector. Grid a and grid b are located on the side of the chute plate closest to the swing arm grid plate. The sections A and B correspond to the two sets of fixed grid plates and the swing arm grid plate.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the grid plate connector is disposed on one side of the slide plate, and a grid plate baffle is disposed at one end of the grid plate connector. The bearing with seat is disposed in a hole opened at the top of the slide plate, and the top surface of the bearing with seat is flush with the surface of the slide plate. The rotating shaft is disposed inside the bearing with seat, and one end of the grid plate baffle is fixed to the rotating shaft. The swing arm grid plate also includes a swing arm drive mechanism for driving the rotating shaft to rotate, and the swing arm drive mechanism is disposed between the grid plate connector and the grid plate baffle.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, one side of the grid plate connector is connected to the slide plate, the grid plate connector is disposed between the two sets of fixed grid plates, and the bottom of the rotating shaft is connected to the swing arm drive mechanism.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of each of the two sets of fixed grid plates is provided with four sets of fixed connecting members. The bottom of each of the four sets of fixed connecting members is in contact with the top of the slide plate. The bottom of each of the two sets of fixed grid plates is detachably connected to the slide plate through the four sets of fixed connecting members and multiple sets of screws.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the four sets of fixing connectors are welded to the sides of the two sets of fixing grid plates respectively. The bottom of each of the four sets of fixing connectors has multiple sets of fixing holes. The bottom of each of the two sets of fixing connectors has two sets of fixing holes, and the bottom of the other set of fixing connectors has one set of fixing holes. Six sets of fixing holes are respectively fitted with six sets of screws, and the other set of fixing holes is fitted with one set of screws.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. By cooperating with the swing arm grid plate and the fixed grid plate, an A and B section is formed on the slide plate for material dropping. The swing arm grid plate can control the package dropping section by resetting or swinging the arm, so that the package can fall into the corresponding grid. The dropping section of the adjacent grid is temporarily borrowed, which doubles the dropping section of this grid, reduces the probability of the package falling into the wrong grid, improves the dropping accuracy, and does not reduce the number of grids.
[0015] 2. Users can connect and fix the slide plates together through the connecting holes, so that the reusable grid can complete the normal unloading action of the package. The fixed grid plate can be installed by connecting the fixing connector to the slide plate with screws. When installing the swing arm grid plate, the swing arm grid plate can be fixed to the slide plate with screws to complete the installation of the swing arm grid plate. The installation and disassembly are relatively convenient, which improves the convenience. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] Example:
[0026] As attached Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0027] This utility model provides a reusable grid for a cross-belt sorting machine, including a chute plate 100, which is divided into sections A and B. Two sets of fixed grid plates 101 are provided on the top of the chute plate 100, and a swing arm grid plate 102 is provided between the two sets of fixed grid plates 101. The length of the fixed grid plates 101 is less than that of the swing arm grid plate 102 (the length of the fixed grid plates 101 being less than that of the swing arm grid plate 102 is related to the sliding trajectory of the package on the chute plate 100, which is related to the sorting machine's running speed and unloading speed). The swing arm grid plate 102 includes a rotatable shaft 109, a grid plate baffle 108, a bearing 110 with a seat, and a grid plate connector 107. Through the cooperation of the fixed grid plates 101 and the swing arm grid plate 102, the sections A and B can be adjusted, so that when the sorting trolley completes the unloading of the package in the section A and B, the package can slide into the correct grid.
[0028] Understandably, the swing arm grid plate 102 can control the package sliding area by resetting or swinging the arm, so that the package can fall into the corresponding grid. It temporarily borrows the package dropping area of the adjacent grid area, which doubles the dropping area of this grid, reduces the probability of the package falling into the wrong grid, and improves the accuracy of dropping.
[0029] The grid plate connector 107 is disposed on one side of the slide plate 100. A grid plate baffle 108 is disposed at one end of the grid plate connector 107. A seated bearing 110 is disposed in a hole opened at the top of the slide plate 100. The top surface of the seated bearing 110 is flush with the surface of the slide plate 100. A rotating shaft 109 is disposed in the seated bearing 110. The seated bearing 110 allows the rotating shaft 109 to rotate freely. One end of the grid plate baffle 108 is fixed to the rotating shaft 109. The swing arm grid plate 102 also includes a swing arm drive mechanism for driving the rotating shaft 109 to rotate. The swing arm drive mechanism is used to drive the rotating shaft 109 to rotate, thereby driving the grid plate baffle 108 to move in the direction of rotation of the rotating shaft 109. The swing arm drive mechanism is disposed between the grid plate connector 107 and the grid plate baffle 108.
[0030] One side of the grid plate connector 107 is connected to the slide plate 100, and the grid plate connector 107 is disposed between two sets of fixed grid plates 101.
[0031] The top of the swing arm grid plate 102 and the top of the fixed grid plate 101 are located on the same sliding trajectory. The swing arm grid plate 102 and the fixed grid plate 101 are spaced apart from each other. The swing arm grid plate 102 controls the sliding range of the package by resetting or swinging the arm, so that the package falls into grid a or grid b. It is equivalent to temporarily borrowing the falling range of the front grid through the swing arm action, that is, doubling the falling range of this grid, which greatly reduces the probability of the package falling into the wrong grid.
[0032] The bottom of each of the two sets of fixed grid plates 101 is provided with four sets of fixed connectors 111. The bottom of each of the four sets of fixed connectors 111 is in contact with the top of the slide plate 100. The bottom of each of the two sets of fixed grid plates 101 is detachably connected to the slide plate 100 by the four sets of fixed connectors 111 and screws.
[0033] The four sets of fixing connectors 111 are welded to the two sets of fixing grid plates 101 on their sides respectively. The bottom of each of the four sets of fixing connectors 111 has multiple sets of fixing holes. Two sets of fixing connectors 111 have two sets of fixing holes through them at the bottom, and the other set of fixing connectors 111 has one set of fixing holes at the bottom. Six sets of fixing holes are fitted with six sets of screws, and the other set of fixing holes is fitted with one set of screws. The bottom of each of the four sets of fixing connectors 111 is detachably connected to the slide plate 100 by multiple sets of screws.
[0034] The AB section corresponds to the two sets of fixed grid plates 101 and the swing arm grid plate 102. The slide plate 100 is provided with grid a and grid b on the side near the swing arm grid plate 102. Grid a and grid b are arranged horizontally and equidistantly along the direction from the swing arm grid plate 102 to one of the fixed grid plates 101.
[0035] Grid a is located between one set of fixed grid plates 101 and swing arm grid plates 102, and grid b is located between the swing arm grid plate 102 and another set of fixed grid plates 101. Multiple sets of connection holes 104 are provided at both ends of the slide plate 100 for connecting to each other or to external equipment. The slide plates 100 can be connected and fixed together through the multiple sets of connection holes 104.
[0036] Please refer to, for example Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the solid line of the swing arm grid plate 102 represents the reset state, falling into grid a; the dashed line represents the swing arm state, falling into grid b.
[0037] Suppose a package needs to be placed into a designated slot a, the system controls the swing arm drive to put the swing arm slot plate 102 into the reset state, the sorting trolley carrying the package completes unloading in the AB section, and the package slides into slot a.
[0038] Please refer to, for example Figure 2 As shown, if a package needs to fall into a designated slot b, the system controls the swing arm drive to make the swing arm slot plate 102 swing arm state. The sorting trolley carrying the package completes unloading in the AB section, and the package slides into slot b.
