[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the driving roller and the driven roller are driven by friction.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, one end of the frame close to the opening of the mounting port is rotatably connected to the indexing worktable; the mounting frame is slidably connected to the indexing worktable, and a telescopic device is connected to the lower surface of the indexing worktable, which is used to push the mounting frame to move through the telescopic device, so that the active roller and the driven roller are in close contact, and the frame is lifted up by the cooperation of the active roller and the driven roller.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "periphery", etc. indicating the orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a sorting conveyor for logistics warehousing, including a sorting and conveying unit 100, and a feeding and conveying unit 200 and several output conveying units 300 connected to the sorting and conveying unit 100.

[0036] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, the sorting and conveying unit 100 includes an indexing workbench 1, and four to eight mounting openings 101 are circumferentially arranged in the indexing workbench 1, five as shown in the figure, and a load-carrying mechanism 2 is connected in the mounting opening 101; a driving unit is connected to the lower surface of the indexing workbench 1.

[0037] The driving unit includes a mounting frame 3, a motor 301 fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame 3, and an active roller 302 rotatably connected to the mounting frame 3. The motor 301 is transmission-connected to the active roller 302, and the active roller 302 is transmission-connected to the driven roller 204, such as through a belt drive.

[0038] Specifically, the motor 301 is installed on the inner wall of the frame 3, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume. The motor 301 and the active roller 302 can transmit power through belt transmission, chain transmission, etc.

[0039] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the object-carrying mechanism 2 includes a rectangular frame 201, two transmission rollers 202 rotatably connected to the frame 201, and the two transmission rollers 202 are connected by a conveyor belt. The rotation axis of one of the transmission rollers 202 passes through the side wall of the frame 201, and is fixedly connected to a driven wheel 203.

[0040] A driven roller 204 connected to the driving unit is rotatably connected between the two side walls of the frame 201, and the rotating shaft of the driven roller 204 passes through the side wall of the frame 201, and is fixedly connected to a driving wheel 205 connected to the driven wheel 203. Specifically, the driving wheel 205 and the driven wheel 203 can both be synchronous belt wheels, which are connected to each other by synchronous belt transmission, and are used to drive the driven wheel 203 to rotate synchronously through the driven roller 204, thereby driving the driving roller 202 to rotate, and using the conveyor belt to transport and move the material.

[0041] During sorting, the unsorted materials are transported by the feed conveying unit 200 toward the sorting conveying unit 100 , and the feed conveying unit 200 corresponds to the position of one of the carrier mechanisms 2 , and the four output conveying units 300 correspond to the positions of the remaining four carrier mechanisms 2 one by one.

[0042] After the material is scanned and processed by the sorting system, the position of the output conveying unit 300 corresponding to the material is determined. After the material is transported to the carrier mechanism 2 by the feed conveying unit 200, the indexing workbench 1 rotates so that the next carrier mechanism 2 corresponds to the position of the feed conveying unit 200, so that the next material is transported to the carrier mechanism 2, and so on, so that the materials enter the indexing workbench 1 in sequence.

[0043] The material is rotated to the corresponding target output conveying unit 300 position through the indexing workbench 1, and the driven roller 204 is driven to rotate by the motor 301 of the driving unit, and the material is transported to the output conveying unit 300 by the conveyor belt between the two driving rollers 202 to realize the sorting and conveying of the material.

[0044] The continuous rotation of the indexing table 1 enables accurate sorting and conveying of materials, thus avoiding the occurrence of material congestion and effectively improving the overall sorting and conveying efficiency.

[0045] Meanwhile, a U-shaped baffle 104 is connected to the upper surface of the indexing worktable 1 by screws, and the U-shaped baffle 104 is arranged along the edge of the mounting opening 101. Moreover, the ends between the two side walls of the U-shaped baffle 104 are arranged in a flared shape, so that when the material is conveyed to the loading mechanism 2 by the feeding conveying unit 200, the U-shaped baffle 104 is used for guiding and blocking positioning, so as to make the material accurately fall onto the conveyor belt of the loading mechanism 2, thereby facilitating the subsequent conveying of the material to the output conveying unit 300 by the conveyor belt and improving the reliability of sorting and conveying.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] Based on Embodiment 1, the difference is that the driving roller 302 and the driven roller 204 are in frictional transmission, and the power transmission is realized by the mutual frictional force. Moreover, in the vertical direction, the height of the rotation center of the driving roller 302 is lower than that of the rotation center of the driven roller 204.

[0048] Meanwhile, a flanging 206 facing the outside is arranged on the upper surface of the frame 201, and the flanging 206 is attached to the upper surface of the indexing worktable 1, so as to improve the connection stability and accuracy between the frame 201 and the indexing worktable 1.

[0049] One end of the frame 201 close to the opening of the mounting opening 101 is rotatably connected to the indexing worktable 1. Specifically, a rotating shaft is connected below the side wall of the frame 201, and both ends of the rotating shaft are connected to the indexing worktable 1 through bearing seats.

[0050] The mounting frame 3 is slidably connected to the indexing worktable 1 through a slide rail mechanism, so that the mounting frame 3 can slide along the diameter direction of the indexing worktable 1. Moreover, a telescopic device 4 is connected to the lower surface of the indexing worktable 1. The telescopic device 4 can be a cylinder, and is used to push the mounting frame 3 to move through the telescopic device 4, so that the driving roller 302 and the driven roller 204 are in close contact, and the frame 201 is lifted by the cooperation of the driving roller 302 and the driven roller 204.

[0051] Specifically, as Figure 7 and 8As shown, when the indexing table 1 rotates to transport the material to the output conveying unit 300 at the target position, the telescopic device 4 pushes the mounting frame 3 toward the loading mechanism 2, and makes the active roller 302 close to the surface of the driven roller 204, and as the telescopic device 4 pushes, the active roller 302 pushes the driven roller 204 upward, so that the frame 201 flips over, and lifts up one end of the frame 201 away from the output conveying unit 300. At this time, when the motor 301 is started, the material is transported to the output conveying unit 300 through the conveyor belt, and then the frame 201 is flipped and lifted, so that the material is more easily transported to the output conveying unit 300, which is convenient for sorting and conveying large or heavy materials, and is beneficial to improving the conveying efficiency and conveying reliability.

[0052] Among them, the driven roller 204 is located at one end of the frame 201 close to the active roller 302 and below the frame 201, so that when the active roller 302 lifts the driven roller 204, the frame 201 can obtain a larger flip angle, that is, the height of one end of the frame 201 is lifted higher, which is beneficial to the transportation of materials.

[0053] At the same time, the two side walls of the frame 201 are connected to the first connecting column 207, the dividing table 1 is connected to the second connecting column 102, and a tension spring 103 is connected between the second connecting column 102 and the first connecting column 207, so that when the frame 201 is lifted up, the tension of the tension spring 103 can be used to make the driven roller 204 close to the active roller 302, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the mutual friction transmission.

[0054] In addition, the first connecting column 207 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the frame 201, and the second connecting column 102 is rotatably connected to the dividing table 1. Through the rotatable connection, when the frame 201 is flipped and lifted up, the tension spring 103 is pulled, so that the length direction of the tension spring 103 changes. The first connecting column 207 and the second connecting column 102 can follow the tension spring 103 and rotate adaptively, thereby avoiding wear between the tension spring 103 and the first connecting column 207 and the second connecting column 102, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the tension spring 103, thereby effectively improving the overall reliability and service life.

In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.
