[0021] Compared with existing logistics supply chain management device technologies, the present invention provides a logistics supply chain management device with automatic sorting function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The present invention provides an elastic support for supporting the first U-shaped groove and the second U-shaped groove on the supply platform, and a vibration mechanism is provided on one side of the first U-shaped groove. When an object is placed between the first U-shaped groove and the second U-shaped groove, the output shaft of the motor drives the disk to rotate, and the shaft on the circular surface of the disk pushes and pulls the connecting rod back and forth. The connecting rod then pulls the first U-shaped groove and the second U-shaped groove to shake on the supply platform, so that the object gradually slides down the inclined surface of the bottom plate into the flat groove. Then, the flat pushing mechanism gathers the object inward, so that the object is centered and facing the detector, which facilitates the detector to scan and record the object information.

[0023] 2. When the QR code on the surface of an object is facing upwards, the present invention can directly identify the QR code pasted on the surface of the object through a detector, thereby collecting the object information. Then, under the transmission action of the electric roller group, the object on the flat groove can be pushed backwards, and then passed out of the first U-shaped groove and the second U-shaped groove. After the object leaves the flat groove, it can fall onto the conveyor belt in the groove, and then the conveyor belt can transport the object outwards to the sorting chain for sorting.

[0024] 3. When the QR code on the surface of the object is facing down, the distance between the first U-shaped groove and the second U-shaped groove can be increased by the pushing mechanism. Due to the large friction between the object and the flat groove on the second U-shaped groove, the object moves to the right along the second U-shaped groove until it leaves the flat groove on the first U-shaped groove. This causes the left end of the object to tilt downward and slide down along the straight plate until it abuts against the L-shaped plate. As the distance between the first U-shaped groove and the second U-shaped groove continues to increase, the hook of the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate gradually passes through the slot on the straight plate and pushes the bottom end of the object, which has fallen between the straight plate and the L-shaped plate and is in an inclined position, to the right, thereby turning the object over so that it can be scanned and detected by the detector.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-4 This invention provides a technical solution: a logistics supply chain management device with automatic sorting function, including a supply platform 1 and a support rod 13 fixed on the supply platform 1. A detector 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 13. The detector 2 identifies the QR code affixed to the surface of the object, thereby collecting the object information. A first U-shaped groove 4 and a second U-shaped groove 8 are symmetrically distributed above the supply platform 1. A base plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8. A flat groove 6 is opened on the upper surface of the base plate 7. The flat groove 6 on the first U-shaped groove 4 is a smooth surface, and the flat groove 6 on the second U-shaped groove 8 is a rough surface. When the object slides into the flat groove 6, there is a difference in the friction between the object and the two flat grooves 6. The friction between the object and the flat groove 6 at the bottom of the second U-shaped groove 8 is greater than the friction between the object and the flat groove 6 at the bottom of the first U-shaped groove 4.

[0033] It should be noted that the upper surface of the supply platform 1 is provided with elastic supports 10 for supporting the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8. The elastic supports 10 include a first support and a second support, which are distributed at the two end corners of the first U-shaped groove 4 and the base 9. The first support includes a first spring 25, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 7 of the first U-shaped groove 4, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a first rubber seat 26. The first rubber seat 26 is fixedly connected to the supply platform 1. The second support includes a second spring 29, one end of which is fixedly connected to the base 9, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a second rubber seat 28. The second rubber seat 28 is fixedly connected to the supply platform 1, so that the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8 are supported and suspended on the supply platform 1.

[0034] It is worth noting that a vibration mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the supply platform 1 to shake the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8 so that the objects are concentrated inward to the plane groove 6. The vibration mechanism 3 includes a motor 17, which is fixedly connected to the supply platform 1. A disk 15 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor 17. A shaft 16 that does not coincide with the axial direction of the output shaft of the motor 17 is vertically fixed on the circular surface of the disk 15. A connecting rod 18 is hinged to one end of the shaft 16, and a connecting seat 19 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 18. The connecting seat 19 is fixed on the side wall of the first U-shaped groove 4. When the motor 17 is working, the output shaft of the motor 17 drives the disk 15 to rotate, and then the shaft 16 on the circular surface of the disk 15 pushes and pulls the connecting rod 18 back and forth, and then the connecting rod 18 pulls the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8 to shake on the supply platform 1.

[0035] It should be noted that an electric roller assembly 5 for directly conveying objects outward is provided on the bottom plate 7 outside the planar groove 6. The bottom plate 7 outside the planar groove 6 has an inclined surface, and the electric roller assembly 5 is located at the bottom end of the inclined surface. When the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8 on the left and right sides contract inward, the bottom plates 7 on both sides can gradually converge inward, so that the electric roller assembly 5 on the bottom plate 7 contacts the outer walls on both sides of the object. Under the transmission action of the electric roller assembly 5, the object on the planar groove 6 can be pushed backward, and then conveyed out of the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8.

[0036] It is worth noting that the first U-shaped groove 4 is provided with a flat pushing mechanism 14 on both sides for flipping the object by stretching movement. The flat pushing mechanism 14 includes a cylinder 24, which is fixed on the outer wall of the second U-shaped groove 8. A fixed plate 20 with the same horizontal height as the cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first U-shaped groove 4. The output end of the cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 20. The distance between the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8 can be adjusted by pushing and pulling the fixed plate 20 through the cylinder 24, so as to adjust the distance according to the size of the object and clamp the object.

[0037] Furthermore, a groove 12 is provided in the middle of the supply platform 1. A conveyor belt 11 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 12 to receive fallen objects and transport them outward. When an object leaves the flat groove 6, it can fall onto the conveyor belt 11 in the groove 12, and then the conveyor belt 11 can transport the object outward to the sorting chain for sorting.

[0038] Furthermore, a base 9 is provided below the second U-shaped groove 8, and two guide rails are provided on the upper surface of the base 9. A sliding groove is provided on the bottom surface of the second U-shaped groove 8 to slide in connection with the guide rails. When the second U-shaped groove 8 is pushed by the cylinder 24 and is limited by the sliding of the guide rails, the second U-shaped groove 8 can slide left and right on the base 9, thereby adjusting the distance between it and the first U-shaped groove 4.

[0039] Furthermore, a straight plate 22 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base plate 7 of the first U-shaped channel 4, and an L-shaped plate 23 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base 9. A hook 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate 23. A slot 27 adapted to the width of the hook 21 is opened at the lower end of the straight plate 22. When the second U-shaped channel 8 moves to the right, the hook 21 of the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate 23 can pass through the slot 27 on the straight plate 22 and push the bottom end of the object that has fallen between the straight plate 22 and the L-shaped plate 23 and is in an inclined position to the right, so that the object flips over and falls onto the conveyor belt 11 below.

[0040] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: When in use, the object can be placed between the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8, and then the motor 17 is turned on. The output shaft of the motor 17 drives the disc 15 to rotate, and then the shaft 16 on the circular surface of the disc 15 pushes and pulls the connecting rod 18 back and forth. Then the connecting rod 18 pulls the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8 to shake on the supply platform 1, so that the object gradually slides down the inclined surface of the bottom plate 7 into the flat groove 6.

[0041] Then, by pushing and pulling the fixing plate 20 through the cylinder 24, the distance between the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8 is adjusted, so as to adjust the distance according to the size of the object. When the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8 on the left and right sides retract inward, the electric roller group 5 on the bottom plate 7 retracts inward and contacts the outer walls on both sides of the object to clamp the object and make the object centered and facing the detector 2.

[0042] If the QR code on the surface of the object is facing upward, the detector 2 can directly identify the QR code pasted on the surface of the object, thereby collecting the object information. Then, under the transmission action of the electric roller group 5, the object on the flat groove 6 can be pushed backward, and then passed out of the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8. After the object leaves the flat groove 6, it can fall onto the conveyor belt 11 in the groove 12, and then the conveyor belt 11 can transport the object outward to the sorting chain for sorting.

[0043] If the QR code on the object's surface is facing down, after clamping the object through the above process, cylinder 24 is activated again, causing the piston rod of cylinder 24 to extend and push the second U-shaped groove 8 away from the first U-shaped groove 4, thereby increasing the distance between the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8. During this process, due to the different roughness of the flat grooves 6 on the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8, the friction between the object and the flat groove 6 on the second U-shaped groove 8 is greater, causing the object to move to the right along with the second U-shaped groove 8 until it detaches from the flat groove 6 on the first U-shaped groove 4, thus allowing the object to... After the left end of the item tilts downward, it slides down along the straight plate 22 until it abuts against the L-shaped plate 23. Then, the distance between the first U-shaped groove 4 and the second U-shaped groove 8 continues to increase. The hook 21 of the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate 23 gradually passes through the slot 27 on the straight plate 22 and pushes the bottom end of the item, which has fallen between the straight plate 22 and the L-shaped plate 23 and is tilted, to the right, thereby turning the item over. After being scanned and identified by the detector 2, the item falls onto the conveyor belt 11 below. The conveyor belt 11 can then transport the item outward to the sorting chain for sorting.

[0044] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
