Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of logistics technology, and in particular to a logistics intelligent package interval flipping sorting system. Background Art

[0002] Parcel sorting is an important part of the logistics and distribution process. By sorting parcels with different destinations to different gathering places, the parcels with the same destination can be uniformly collected, stored and transported. The parcel sorting efficiency has a vital impact on the efficiency of the entire logistics and distribution process.

[0003] The process of parcel sorting requires the participation of many people. First, all parcels need to be manually separated into single rooms and placed on the conveyor belt with the barcode facing upwards. Then, the parcels slowly transported on the conveyor belt are manually sorted to different gathering places. At this time, the operation of manually placing all parcels with the barcode facing upwards is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which greatly affects the efficiency of parcel sorting. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a logistics intelligent package interval flipping sorting system, which drives the package to flip during the package transmission process to avoid the barcode of the package being at the bottom, thereby eliminating the need for manual placement of the barcode of the package upward on a horizontal belt conveyor, thereby improving the sorting efficiency.

[0005] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: a logistics intelligent parcel interval flipping sorting system, including a horizontal belt conveyor for conveying parcels, a belt elevator for conveying parcels to the horizontal belt conveyor, a classification transmission device arranged on both sides of the length direction of the horizontal belt conveyor and used for classifying and conveying parcels, a plurality of collection boxes for receiving parcels classified by the classification transmission device, and three flipping devices arranged at the rear of the horizontal belt conveyor and used to drive the parcels to flip.

[0006] By adopting the above scheme, when sorting parcels, the staff first places the parcels on the belt elevator, and the parcels enter the horizontal belt conveyor through the belt elevator and are transmitted along the horizontal belt conveyor. A number of staff are arranged on both sides of the front end of the horizontal belt conveyor to directly sort small parcels and medium and large parcels with barcodes facing upward or facing the left and right sides. The medium and large parcels with barcodes facing downward and facing the front and back sides continue to be transported along the horizontal belt conveyor. When the medium and large parcels are transported to the flipping device, the medium and large parcels can be flipped by the flipping device, and staff are arranged near the flipping device to sort the medium and large parcels with barcodes facing upward; the sorted parcels are transported to multiple collection boxes for classification through the classification transmission device; at the same time, the barcodes of flat bagged and box-shaped parcels are usually set on the larger two end faces, and the barcodes can be sorted upward only after passing through a single flipping device; the larger box-shaped parcels can also be sorted with the barcode facing upward through up to three flippings of three flipping devices; finally, there is no need to manually place the parcels with the barcode facing upward on the horizontal belt conveyor, thereby improving the sorting efficiency.

[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: the classification and transmission device includes a frame, a plurality of driving shafts rotatably connected to one end of the frame, a plurality of driven shafts rotatably connected to the other end of the frame, a plurality of transmission belts arranged between the driving shafts and the driven shafts, a driving mechanism arranged between the frame and the plurality of driving shafts and capable of driving the driving shafts of any number and position to rotate, and a plurality of guide rails arranged at the other end of the frame and guiding the packages on the plurality of transmission belts to the collection box.

[0008] By adopting the above scheme, multiple driving shafts are driven to rotate through the driving mechanism, thereby driving the transmission belt arranged between the driving shaft and the driven shaft to rotate, so that the transmission belt drives the package to move, and finally the packages classified and placed on multiple transmission belts are transported to different collection boxes through the guide rail; at the same time, the driving mechanism can drive driving shafts of any number and position to rotate, and the required transmission belt can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: one end of the driving shaft away from the horizontal belt conveyor protrudes from the frame and is provided with a driven gear, and the driving mechanism includes a chassis arranged at one end of the frame, a plurality of driving shafts rotatably connected to the chassis, a plurality of driving gears respectively arranged at one end of the driving shaft and respectively close to a plurality of driven gears, a rotating arm rotatably connected to the end of the driving shaft through a bearing at one end, an adjusting component arranged between the rotating arm and the frame and used to fix the angle of the rotating arm, an intermediate gear rotatably connected to the rotating arm and meshing with the driving gear and the driven gear, and a power component arranged between the chassis and the plurality of driving shafts and used to drive the plurality of driving shafts to rotate simultaneously.

[0010] By adopting the above scheme, the intermediate gear can be separated from the driving gear and the driven gear by adjusting the component to change the angle of the rotating arm. Therefore, after the power component drives multiple drive shafts to rotate, the required transmission belt can be selected according to the actual situation; at the same time, the rotating arm and the drive shaft are rotatably connected through the bearing, so that the rotating arm will not be driven to rotate during the rotation of the drive shaft.

[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment plate arranged on the frame and having an arc-shaped groove with the center of the circle on the center line of the driving shaft, an adjustment screw arranged at one end of the rotating arm away from the driving shaft and sliding along the arc-shaped groove during the rotation of the rotating arm, and a fixed knob threadedly connected to one end of the adjusting screw passing through the arc-shaped groove and used to press against the adjustment plate.

[0012] By adopting the above solution, after loosening the fixing knob, by changing the position of the adjusting screw relative to the arc groove, the angle of the rotating arm can be changed to determine whether the intermediate gear is separated from the driving gear and the driven gear.

[0013] The present invention is further configured as follows: the power assembly includes a power motor arranged on a chassis, a driving pulley arranged on an output shaft of the power motor, a plurality of driven pulleys respectively arranged on the drive shaft, and a toothed belt arranged between the driving pulley and the plurality of driven pulleys.

[0014] By adopting the above solution, the power motor drives the driving pulley to rotate when working, thereby driving multiple driven pulleys to rotate through gears, thereby driving multiple drive shafts to rotate.

[0015] The present invention is further configured as follows: the flipping device includes a flipping frame rotatably connected to a horizontal belt conveyor at one end, a driving cylinder hinged at both ends between the horizontal belt conveyor and the flipping frame and used to drive the flipping frame to rotate, a limiting plate arranged on the rear side of the flipping frame, and a pushing mechanism arranged on the horizontal belt conveyor and used to push the package onto the flipping frame, and the front side of the flipping frame is close to the belt of the horizontal belt conveyor and is arranged in an arc shape.

[0016] By adopting the above scheme, when the package moves to the flipping device, the package is pushed onto the flipping frame by the pushing mechanism, and then the flipping frame is driven to rotate by the driving cylinder. After the package slides and hits the limit plate after the flipping frame rotates a certain angle, after the flipping frame rotates to a larger angle, the package flips and continues to fall on the horizontal belt conveyor for transmission.

[0017] The present invention is further configured as follows: the pushing mechanism includes a mounting frame arranged on the horizontal belt conveyor, a lifting frame arranged on the mounting frame for lifting, a lifting cylinder arranged between the mounting frame and the lifting frame, a push plate moving in a horizontal direction relative to the lifting frame, and a pushing cylinder arranged between the lifting frame and the push plate; the mounting frame is provided with a height detector for detecting the height of the upper surface of the package passing on the horizontal belt conveyor; the mounting frame is provided with a controller for receiving the height detected by the height detector to control the height to which the lifting cylinder drives the lifting frame to fall.

[0018] By adopting the above solution, when the package passes under the mounting frame, the height of the upper surface of the package is first detected by the height detector, and the controller controls the pushing cylinder to make the lifting frame fall to the middle of the package height, and then the pushing cylinder drives the push plate to move to push the package onto the flip frame.

[0019] The present invention is further configured as follows: a rubber pad is provided on the end surface of the push plate close to the flip frame.

[0020] By adopting the above solution, the rubber pad can play a buffering role, thereby reducing the impact force on the package when pushing the package. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
