[0059] An embodiment of the present application provides an express delivery conveyor line, which consists of a sorting line and an accumulation line. The sorting line consists of a loading device, a manual pre-sorting device, a distance pulling device, an express delivery information collection device and an automatic pre-sorting device connected in sequence, wherein: the automatic pre-sorting device is connected to the accumulation line, and the accumulation line consists of N sections of sub-conveyor belts connected in sequence, each of the N sections of sub-conveyor belts is provided with a sensor, and N is an integer greater than 1. By way of example, the value of N can be 4, and the specific value of N is not limited here.

[0060] The following are detailed descriptions of each.

[0061] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of an express delivery conveyor line provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0062] like Figure 1As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the express delivery conveyor line is composed of a sorting line A10 and an accumulation line A20, and the sorting line A10 is composed of a loading device A11, a manual pre-sorting device A12, a pulling device A13, an express delivery information collection device A14 and an automatic pre-sorting device A15 connected in sequence, wherein: the automatic pre-sorting device A15 is composed of an automatic sorting machine A151, a sorting conveyor belt A152 and a main conveyor belt A153, the automatic sorting machine A151 is respectively connected to the sorting conveyor belt A152 and the main conveyor belt A153, the main conveyor belt is connected to the accumulation line A20, and the accumulation line A20 is composed of N sections of sub-conveyor belts A21, each of the N sections of sub-conveyor belts A21 is provided with a sensor A22, N is an integer greater than 1, and each section of the belt conveyor belt A21 can accumulate one express delivery.

[0063] In this embodiment, a sensor A22 is also installed on one end of the main conveyor belt A153 connected to the accumulation and release line A20.

[0064] Among them, the conveyor belt mentioned in this embodiment can be a belt conveyor belt (such as a belt conveyor belt) or other conveying equipment, such as a chain conveyor belt, a plate conveyor belt, etc. The specific type of conveying equipment is not limited this time.

[0065] The sensor A22 mentioned in this embodiment may be a photoelectric sensor, or other sensors, such as an infrared sensor, and the specific type of the sensor is not limited here.

[0066] The automatic sorting machine A151 mentioned in this embodiment may be a pendulum wheel sorting machine, and the specific type of the automatic sorting machine A151 is not limited here.

[0067] In some embodiments, the manual pre-sorting equipment A12 is composed of a ball module belt A121 and a recovery component A122. The ball module belt A121 is arranged between the loading equipment A11 and the pulling equipment A13, and the recovery component A122 is arranged on the side of the ball module belt A121 away from the loading equipment A11 and the pulling equipment A13. The manual pre-sorting equipment A12 in this embodiment is also called a "manual tallying table". The ball module belt A121 arranged in this embodiment is designed to run in a straight line and in one direction. When workers find that there are abnormal express parcels passing through the "manual tallying table", they can push the express parcels above the ball module belt A121 to the recovery component A122 by hand or other tools that can be used to push the express parcels. Since the ball module belt A121 can reduce the friction between the express parcels and the conveyor line, pushing the express parcels on the ball module belt A121 can reduce the labor intensity of the workers.

[0068] The ball module belt A121 mentioned in this embodiment may be a universal ball module belt.

[0069] In this embodiment, the abnormal express parcels that pass through the manual pre-sorting device A12 are abnormal express parcels that are manually excluded. The abnormal express parcels may be express parcels with damaged packaging or express parcels with abnormal dimensions (such as round express parcels or express parcels that are too large).

[0070] Among them, in this embodiment, the recycling component A122 can be a recycling conveyor belt or a recycling box, wherein the recycling conveyor belt can be an ordinary tape conveyor belt, which is used to transport the manually sorted express parcels to the recycling area, and the recycling box can be a square or round express box, which is used to directly recycle express parcels. When the recycling box is full of express parcels, the workers replace the recycling box.

[0071] In some embodiments, the main conveyor belt A153 can accumulate express parcels in steps to increase the number of express parcels buffered in the express conveyor line.

[0072] In this embodiment, the loading equipment A11 includes a cage-inverting device A111 and / or a telescopic belt conveyor A112. When the express parcels arrive at the transfer yard, the unused loading equipment A11 is used according to the loading method of the express parcels.

[0073] It should be noted that the telescopic belt conveyor A112 adopts a telescopic mechanism, which allows the telescopic belt conveyor to freely extend and retract in the length direction. During use, the length of the telescopic belt conveyor can be adjusted according to the size of the truck and the location of the express. Therefore, the use of the telescopic belt conveyor A112 greatly reduces the manual handling distance of the express on the line and reduces the labor intensity.

[0074] The cage inverting device A111 is used to automatically load express parcels mixed in cage cars online by inverting the cages. The cage inverting device A111 can increase the speed of express parcels being loaded online.

[0075] In this embodiment, the express information collection device A14 in the express conveyor line can be an automatic package weighing, scanning and volume measurement device (DWS system). The DWS system is composed of a volume measurement device, a dynamic scale and a code scanning device. When the express is in the DWS system, the DWS system will obtain the weight information, external size information and waybill information of the express, among which the waybill information includes the destination information and actual weight information of the express.

[0076] In order to enable the DWS system to obtain express delivery information in an orderly manner and with sufficient time, the express deliveries will be stretched by the stretching device A13 before reaching the DWS system, so that the express deliveries maintain a certain distance between each other before entering the DWS system. Among them, the stretching device A13 in the present application can adopt a multi-section short belt conveyor combination design to adjust the distance of the express deliveries by differential speed.

[0077] In this embodiment, since the express delivery conveyor line provided can eliminate abnormal express deliveries on the express delivery conveyor line and eliminate abnormal express deliveries before they arrive at the sorting yard, the sorting efficiency of express deliveries in the sorting yard can be improved.

[0093] Compared with the confluence device in the present application, the present application also provides a confluence method for express mails, which is combined with Figure 3 , the confluence method is as follows:

[0094] 1. Express items can be accumulated on the belt conveyors A, B, C and D in the main conveying section, and on the belt conveyors a and b in the branch conveying section;

[0095] 2. When the express parcels merge through the sensor A22 set in D, the system (the system that controls the motor of the merging device) controls the start and stop of the motor in D to ensure that the tail of the previous express parcel maintains a preset distance (for example, 1500 mm) with the head of the current express parcel, so that the express parcels accumulated on b can be inserted during this period. The insertion timing is controlled by the system:

[0096] 3. When there is no express on b during operation, that is, there is no express to merge in the branch line conveyor section, the system will not control D to pull the distance. The present application can also measure the size of the express on the turning belt conveyor line in the main line conveyor section, and control the motor in D to pull the distance according to the size of the express (that is, adjust the distance between the tail of the previous express in D and the head of the current express) to improve the merging efficiency.

[0097] Among them, the merging device provided in the present application can greatly increase the throughput of the conveyor line and improve the efficiency of express delivery.

[0098] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A flow chart of an express delivery method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to an express delivery conveyor line, which is composed of a sorting line and an accumulation line. The sorting line is composed of a loading device, a manual pre-sorting device, a distance-pulling device, an express delivery information collection device, and an automatic pre-sorting device connected in sequence, wherein: the automatic pre-sorting device is composed of an automatic sorting machine, a sorting conveyor belt, and a main conveyor belt, the automatic sorting machine is connected to the sorting conveyor belt and the main conveyor belt respectively, the main conveyor belt is connected to the accumulation line, the accumulation line is composed of N sections of sub-conveyor belts connected in sequence, each of the N sections of sub-conveyor belts is provided with a sensor, N is an integer greater than 1, and the method includes:

[0099] 401. Get the express shipment through the loading device.

[0100] After the express parcels arrive at the transfer yard, different equipment is used to transport them online according to the loading form of the express parcels. For mixed sacks, mixed boxes, and single express parcels, telescopic belt conveyors are used for online transportation. For mixed cage-loaded express parcels, inverted cages are used for online transportation to improve online efficiency.

[0101] 402. Special-shaped express parcels are sorted out by manual pre-sorting equipment, and the unsorted express parcels are transported to the distance-pulling equipment.

[0102] The manual pre-sorting equipment includes a ball module belt and a recovery component, wherein the ball module belt is arranged between the loading device and the pulling device, and the recovery component is arranged on the side of the ball module belt away from the loading device and the pulling device, and the recovery component includes a recovery conveyor belt or a recovery frame.

[0103] The ball module belt in this embodiment may be a universal ball module belt.

[0104] The ball-bearing module belt provided in the embodiment is designed to run in a straight line and in one direction. When a worker finds an abnormal express parcel passing through the "manual tallying table", the worker can push the express parcel above the ball-bearing module belt to the recovery component by hand or other tools that can be used to push the express parcel. Since the ball-bearing module belt can reduce the friction between the express parcel and the conveyor line, pushing the express parcel on the ball-bearing module belt can reduce the labor intensity of the workers.

[0105] At the same time, workers can also sort the express parcels on the "manual sorting table" to ensure the smooth operation of the express parcels.

[0106] 403. The express items are distanced by the distance-pulling device, so that the express items enter the express item information collection device in sequence at intervals of a preset distance.

[0107] In order to allow the express parcels to enter the express information collection device in an orderly manner and at a certain distance, when the express parcels pass through the distance-pulling device, the distance-pulling device will perform distance-pulling processing on the express parcels. In one embodiment, the distance-pulling device in the present application can adopt a multi-section short belt conveyor combination design to adjust the distance of the express parcels by differential speed. In another embodiment, the distance-pulling device in the present application can also be composed of an express stacking belt and an express distance-pulling belt. The distance of the express parcels is adjusted by controlling the time when the express parcels in the express stacking belt enter the express distance-pulling belt.

[0108] 404. Collect the express information of the express through the express information collection device.

[0109] The express information collection device can be a DWS system, which is composed of a volume measuring device, a dynamic scale and a code scanning device. When the express is in the DWS system, the DWS system will obtain the weight information, external dimension information and waybill information of the express, among which the waybill information includes the destination information and the actual weight information of the express.

[0110] 405. The express parcels that do not correspond to the express parcel information are transferred to the sorting conveyor belt through the automatic sorting machine in the automatic pre-sorting equipment, and the express parcels that correspond to the express parcel information are transferred to the main conveyor belt.

[0111] Specifically, determine whether the weight information on the express delivery bill and the actual weight information of the express delivery correspond; if not, the express delivery is transferred to the sorting conveyor belt through the automatic sorting machine; if corresponding, the express delivery is transferred to the main conveyor belt through the automatic sorting machine.

[0112] In some embodiments, the automatic pre-sorting equipment will also pre-sort the express parcels according to the destination information and / or size information of the express parcels obtained by the DWS system.

[0113] Specifically, express parcels whose sizes do not meet the preset sizes are transported to the sorting conveyor belt by the automatic sorting machine, and / or express parcels whose destinations do not meet the preset destinations are transported to the sorting conveyor belt by the automatic sorting machine, and other express parcels are transmitted to the main conveyor belt.

[0114] 406. Express items are transmitted sequentially on the accumulation and release line through sensors in the accumulation and release line.

[0115] Specifically, each sub-conveyor belt in the accumulation and release line is equipped with a sensor to ensure that only one express parcel is stored in each sub-conveyor belt. When the sensor senses that there is no express parcel in the next sub-conveyor belt, the express parcel will be transported to the next belt conveyor belt.

[0116] Finally, the express parcels pass through the accumulation and release line and are transported to the sorting yard.

[0117] Among them, the conveyor belt / conveyor line mentioned in this embodiment can be a belt conveyor belt (such as a belt conveyor belt) or other conveying equipment, such as a chain conveyor belt, a plate conveyor belt, etc. The type of conveying equipment is not limited this time.

[0118] In some embodiments, the express delivery conveyor line also includes L merging conveyor lines, where L is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The merging conveyor line includes a merging sorting line and a merging accumulation and release line. The merging accumulation and release line is connected to the accumulation and release line. The merging accumulation and release line is composed of M sections of merging sub-conveyor belts connected in sequence. Each of the M sections of merging sub-conveyor belts is provided with a sensor, where M is an integer greater than 1. The express delivery is transmitted in sequence on the accumulation and release line through the sensor in the accumulation and release line, including: detecting whether there is an express delivery in the merging sub-conveyor belt closest to the accumulation and release line through the sensor on the merging accumulation and release line; if there is an express delivery, controlling the transmission distance of the express delivery on the accumulation and release line to be a preset distance; controlling the express delivery on the merging accumulation and release line to be inserted into the preset distance to realize the merging of the express delivery on the accumulation and release line and the merging accumulation and release line; if there is no express delivery, controlling the accumulation and release line to transmit the express delivery in sequence.

[0119] The express delivery conveyor line in this scheme can pre-sort express parcels through manual pre-sorting equipment and automatic pre-sorting equipment, and can exclude abnormal express parcels on the express delivery conveyor line. Abnormal express parcels can be excluded before they arrive at the sorting yard, which can improve the sorting efficiency of express parcels in the sorting yard.

[0120] In order to better implement the express delivery method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application also provides a device based on the express delivery method. The meanings of the terms are the same as those in the express delivery method, and the specific implementation details can refer to the description in the method embodiment.
