Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent warehousing, and in particular to a material sorting and tallying device for intelligent warehousing. Background Art

[0002] Logistics has become an indispensable industry in today's society, bringing great convenience to social development and people's lives. In the field of logistics, parcels are usually sorted manually, which relies heavily on the proficiency of workers. There are also ways to sort goods through sorting machines, which are usually divided into identification mechanisms and sorting mechanisms. Classification is achieved by pushing goods out by category, but such equipment often cannot be miniaturized and is often bulky. The conveyor belts used for classification are not easy to layout, which runs counter to the simplicity pursued by the warehousing system. There are low site utilization and material utilization. Therefore, we propose a material sorting and tallying device for intelligent warehousing. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the invention is to provide a material sorting and tallying device for intelligent warehousing. The material sorting and tallying device for intelligent warehousing uses a spring conveyor belt to provide material conveying and clamping sorting functions, and adopts the expansion and contraction and conveying characteristics of the spring to achieve the functions. The overall structure of the equipment is simple, the integration is high, the production cost is low, the footprint is small, it is highly adaptable to the warehouse layout, and the space utilization rate is high, which solves the problems raised in the background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: an intelligent material sorting and tallying device for warehousing, comprising a casing, a driving motor is fixedly installed on one side of the casing, a discharge port is opened on one side of the casing and below the driving motor, a rotating shaft 1 is movably connected to the middle part of one side of the casing through a bearing 1, the rotating shaft 1 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor through a coupling, a rotating shaft 2 is movably connected to the position corresponding to the rotating shaft 1 on the other side of the casing through a bearing 2, a feeding port is opened on the other side of the casing and below the rotating shaft 2, and the rotating shaft One end of the rotating shaft in the casing is fixedly connected to the disc one, and one end of the rotating shaft in the casing is fixedly connected to the disc two. A conveying mechanism is arranged in the casing and between the discs one and two. A feeding table is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the casing. A mounting groove is arranged on the upper surface of the feeding table near the feeding port. A transparent plate is fixedly connected to the opening of the mounting groove. Scanning cameras are arranged on the inner wall of the casing and on the upper side of the feeding port, on the positions of the front and rear walls of the casing corresponding to the mounting groove, and on the bottom wall of the mounting groove. A discharge port is arranged on the side wall of the casing and on the rear side of the conveying mechanism.

[0005] The conveying mechanism includes a spring conveyor belt and a bidirectional cylinder. The two ends of the spring conveyor belt are fixedly connected to disc one and disc two respectively. Adjacent circles in the spring conveyor belt are connected by a bidirectional cylinder. The discharge port points to the gap between adjacent circles of the spring conveyor belt.

[0006] Preferably, the conveying mechanism also includes a guide rod, a sleeve hole, an air valve assembly and an air supply hole. The disc one and disc two are fixedly connected by three guide rods. A sleeve hole is opened at a position corresponding to the guide rod on the spring-type conveyor belt, and the guide rod is inserted into the sleeve hole. The air valve assembly is installed on disc two for controlling each two-way cylinder. Disc two and rotating shaft two are provided with air supply holes along the axis for connecting to an external air compressor through a rotating joint.

[0007] The design of the guide rod can maintain the movement trajectory of the spring conveyor belt, preventing it from twisting or falling due to gravity, greatly improving its service life.

[0008] Preferably, the bidirectional cylinders are divided into two groups and symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the spring conveyor belt to control the spacing between adjacent turns of the spring conveyor belt, and the number of the two groups of bidirectional cylinders is the same.

[0009] In addition to being able to change the spacing between adjacent circles in the spring conveyor belt, the bidirectional cylinder can also provide the function of maintaining the spacing. That is, when the spacing at one place becomes smaller to clamp the goods, the spacing at the corresponding position will not change, overcoming the defects caused by the spring characteristics and ensuring that the spring conveyor belt can transport the goods normally.

[0010] Preferably, the three guide rods are arranged in a ring shape with the axis of the disc one as a reference, and the spring conveyor belt coincides with the axis of the disc one.

[0011] Preferably, protective layers are bonded to both sides of the spring conveyor belt and are spirally matched with the spring conveyor belt, and the protective layers are foam layers.

[0012] The design of the protective layer can protect the goods on the one hand, and prevent dirt from contaminating the spring conveyor belt and causing corrosion on the other hand.

[0013] Preferably, guide strips are provided on both the front and rear sides of the feeding platform for guiding goods, the side of the guide strip corresponding to the spring conveyor belt is an arc surface, and the feeding platform is tilted downward near the discharge port.

[0014] The discharge port is used for discharging the material in the same way as the feed port.

[0015] Preferably, a receiving plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the casing and at the lower side of the discharge port, and the receiving plate is inclined upward and extends into the gap between adjacent circles of the spring conveyor belt.

[0016] When the spring-type conveyor belt clamps the goods and rotates, the receiving plate is in the movement track of the goods. When the spring-type conveyor belt moves to the receiving plate, it relaxes and the goods can be released.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. The intelligent warehousing material sorting and tallying device uses a spring conveyor belt to provide material conveying and clamping sorting functions, and adopts the expansion and contraction and conveying characteristics of the spring to achieve the functions. The overall structure of the equipment is simple, the integration is high, the production cost is low, the footprint is small, it is highly adaptable to the warehouse layout, and the space utilization rate is high, which solves the problems raised in the background technology.

[0019] 2. The intelligent warehousing material sorting and tallying device can reduce the gap of the spring conveyor belt through the design of the two-way cylinder to achieve the clamping of the goods and transport them to the corresponding discharge port for discharge. It can feed the materials at a uniform speed through the spring conveyor belt, and can process multiple goods at the same time to realize multi-threaded sorting operations, which far exceeds the one-at-a-time operation mode of traditional equipment and greatly improves the sorting efficiency.

[0026] The conveying mechanism 9 includes a spring conveyor belt 91 and a bidirectional cylinder 92. The two ends of the spring conveyor belt 91 are fixedly connected to the disc 1 7 and the disc 2 8 respectively. The adjacent circles in the spring conveyor belt 91 are connected by the bidirectional cylinder 92, and the discharge port 14 points to the gap between the adjacent circles of the spring conveyor belt 91.

[0027] The conveying mechanism 9 also includes a guide rod 93, a sleeve hole 94, an air valve assembly 95 and an air supply hole 96. The disc 1 7 and the disc 2 8 are fixedly connected by three guide rods 93. A sleeve hole 94 is opened at the position corresponding to the guide rod 93 on the spring conveyor belt 91.
