Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated warehousing and logistics technology, specifically to an automated warehousing conveyor line detection and unblocking device. Background Technology
[0002] Warehousing and logistics refers to the storage, safekeeping, loading, unloading, and distribution of goods using self-built or leased warehouses and sites. Traditional definitions of warehousing are based on material reserves. Modern "warehousing" is not the traditional "warehouse" or "warehouse management," but rather warehousing within the context of economic globalization and supply chain integration. It is warehousing within modern logistics systems. The structural characteristics of conveyor belt equipment with traction components are: the transported material is loaded within a load-bearing structure connected to the traction component, or directly mounted on the traction component (such as a conveyor belt). The traction component winds around rollers or sprockets, forming a closed loop that includes loaded branches carrying materials and unloaded branches not carrying materials, utilizing the continuous movement of the traction component to transport the materials.
[0003] Existing automated warehouse conveyor detection and unblocking devices cannot immediately handle the collapse of logistics and express delivery conveyors. Most warehouse conveyor lines will stop operating directly due to this problem and cannot continue to work until the problem is repaired by staff. This requires a lot of manpower and significantly slows down the logistics conveying speed, resulting in serious delays in the overall work progress, which is not conducive to people's use.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] This invention provides an automated warehouse conveyor line detection and unblocking device with the following advantages:
[0016] (1) The automated warehouse conveyor line detection and unblocking device is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate via the left side of the top of the base plate and the bottom of the support plate via the right side of the top of the base plate. Support members are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of one side between the fixed plate and the support plate. The outer surface of the support members is connected to the conveyor belt body. The front and back of the inner surface of the conveyor belt body are fixedly connected to the rack. The inner surface of the rack and the inner surface of the conveyor belt body are meshed with the drive gear. The outer surface of the drive gear is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate via the fixing member. The front surface of the drive gear and the back of the top of the base plate are fixedly connected to the base plate. A pulley is fixedly connected to the center of the front surface of the fixed frame, which makes the overall warehousing and logistics conveyor line more stable. It can effectively prevent goods from collapsing or being improperly stacked, thus avoiding the problem of goods falling and jamming the conveyor belt. This makes the overall warehousing and logistics conveyor line more stable and does not require manual supervision, achieving the purpose of fully automatic protection. Moreover, it can resolve most problems on its own without human intervention, achieving the goal of intelligence. In this way, the use of the warehousing and logistics conveyor line will be more convenient, and it also has a self-clearing function, which makes it easier for people to use.

The front surface of the drive gears and the back of the top of the base plate are fixedly connected to a fixed frame. The middle of the front surface of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to a pulley. It can monitor the warehousing logistics conveying line in real time. Once a problem that is not conducive to the normal conveying of logistics is detected in a certain area, it will automatically solve the problem, avoiding delays in work progress due to the occurrence of the problem. It can finely divide the overall warehousing logistics conveying line to achieve high-precision monitoring. Goods with blockages, overturning and collapse are sent back to the origin for processing. After the problem is solved, they are conveyed again, realizing the recycling function. It avoids manual recycling by staff, saves manpower in many ways, and makes the overall work efficiency higher, which is beneficial to people's use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0025] 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.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated warehouse conveyor line detection and unblocking device, including a base plate 1, a fixed plate 2 and a support plate 3. The top left side of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 2, and the top right side of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 3. Support members 4 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of one side between the fixed plate 2 and the support plate 3. A conveyor belt body 5 is drivenly connected to the outer surface of the support member 4. A rack 6 is fixedly connected to the front and back of the inner surface of the conveyor belt body 5. A drive gear 7 meshes with the inner surface of the rack 6 and located on the inner surface of the conveyor belt body 5. The outer surface of the drive gear 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 through a fixing member. A fixing frame 8 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the drive gear 7 and located on the back of the top of the base plate 1. A pulley 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front surface of the fixing frame 8.
[0027] The outer surface of the pulley 9 is connected to the output wheel 10 via a drive belt, and the output motor 11 is fixedly connected to the middle of the back of the output wheel 10. The bottom of the output motor 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1.
[0028] Among them, the left side of the fixed frame 8 is fixedly connected to the limiting bucket 12, the bottom of the limiting bucket 12 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner ring of the conveyor belt body 5, and the middle of the top of the fixed plate 2 and the support plate 3 are both fixedly connected to the signal receiver 13.
[0029] The conveyor belt body 5 includes multiple connecting pads 51 and connecting frames 52. The middle parts of both sides of the connecting frame 52 are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting pads 51. Bluetooth signal generators 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the connecting pads 51 and the top of the connecting frame 52.
[0030] In this case, a mounting component 15 is fixedly connected to the middle of both sides of the inner cavity of the connecting frame 52, and a connecting shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the surface of the mounting component 15 by means of a pin, and a bearing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 16.
[0031] Among them, a spring gear 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting part 15 and the outer surface of the pin, and an electromagnet 19 is fixedly connected to one side between the two bearing plates 17.
[0032] One side of the electromagnet 19 is fixedly connected to a controller, and one side of the controller is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 17.
[0033] In use, the Bluetooth signal generator 14 is first activated to send a signal to the top, which is then captured by the signal receivers 13 on both sides to obtain the Bluetooth signal generator 14 representing each area. At this time, the output motor 11 is started, and the output motor 11 drives the drive gear 7 to rotate via the belt. The drive gear 7 drives the conveyor belt body 5 to transport goods and other express packages stacked on the support plate 17. The stacking area is a platform formed by splicing two support plates 17. If the goods collapse, are damaged, or the stacking structure overturns, the goods may fall to the outside of the support plate 17. When the goods cover the Bluetooth signal generator 14, it indicates that the overturning is relatively serious and it is very easy for the conveyor belt body 5 to be jammed. At this time, the signal receiver 13 receives the Bluetooth signal generator 14. Upon receiving the signal, the output motor 11 is immediately shut down and prevented from continuing to rotate. Then, the electromagnet 19 is closed via the controller, causing the two support plates 17 to lose traction. Under the action of gravity, the goods press against the support plates 17 and open, then fall into the inner ring of the conveyor belt body 5. After the goods fall, the Bluetooth signal generator 14 is no longer restricted and continues to send signals. At the same time, the support plates 17 are reset by the action of the spring gear 18. After receiving the signal, the signal receiver 13 continues to activate the output motor 11 and supply power to the electromagnet 19. The entire device is reset and continues to convey goods. Meanwhile, the problematic goods located in the inner cavity of the conveyor belt body 5 are conveyed towards the starting point until they come into contact with the limit hopper 12 and are pushed out for collection and processing by staff.
