Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of logistics sorting technology, specifically to a logistics sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Logistics sorting is an important process in the internal logistics process. Sorting personnel sort the mail according to the address written on the envelope and the sorting route set by the company, and finally sort the mail into the relevant compartments or stacks. Sorting is a preparatory work to complete and support delivery. The sorting process involves multiple batches and different products with different flow directions, and then carries out logistics distribution one by one.

[0003] During the sorting process of transported goods, it is prone to slippage, which prevents effective sorting of goods. Furthermore, it cannot automatically sort different sizes of packages and cannot effectively handle different types of packages. Moreover, for heavy and fragile items, the feeding ramp tends to be too fast during the sorting process, causing fragile and heavy items to tip over due to inertia. It cannot adaptively adjust the feeding angle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a logistics sorting device that effectively handles bulky and fragile items, prevents fragile and heavy items from tipping over due to inertia, and improves sorting efficiency. It also solves the problem of not being able to automatically complete sorting of items of different sizes.

[0008] The sensing component includes a small plate, a medium plate, a large plate, a fixing frame, a first metal block group, a second metal block group, a third metal block group, a first coil, a second coil, and a third coil. The upper surface of the conveyor belt is respectively provided with the small plate, the medium plate, and the large plate. The small plate, the medium plate, and the large plate are movably installed inside the fixing frame. The first metal block group is provided between the small plate and the fixing frame, the second metal block group is provided between the medium plate and the fixing frame, and the third metal block group is provided between the large plate and the fixing frame. The first metal block group is electrically connected to the first coil, the second metal block group is electrically connected to the second coil, and the third metal block group is electrically connected to the third coil.

[0009] Preferably, the sorting device includes a pulley column, a sleeve, a magnetic rod, a movable frame, a stop block, and a pusher block. The pulley column is fixedly installed at the end of the attachment roller. A sleeve is provided on the outer surface of the pulley column. A magnetic rod is slidably installed inside the sleeve. A movable frame is slidably installed on the rear side of the magnetic rod and inside the outer shell of the machine body. A pusher block is provided at the end of the movable frame and through the interior of the fixed frame. A stop block corresponding to the magnetic rod is provided on the front surface of the movable frame.

[0010] Preferably, the unloading mechanism includes a spring vertical plate, a swing rod, an auxiliary frame, a middle slide rail, a small slide rail, a large slide rail, and rollers. The conveyor belt has a spring vertical plate inside, the end of the spring vertical plate is attached to the swing rod, the end of the swing rod is rotatably connected to the auxiliary frame, the front surface of the auxiliary frame has a middle slide rail movably installed, the left and right sides of the middle slide rail have a small slide rail and a large slide rail fixedly installed respectively, and the middle slide rail, the small slide rail and the large slide rail are all provided with rollers inside.

[0011] Preferably, coil one, coil two, and coil three are respectively disposed inside the sleeve, and the magnetic poles of coil one, coil two, and coil three are opposite to the magnetic poles of the magnet rod. The small plate, medium plate, and large plate are arranged in parallel left and right. The fixing frame is evenly distributed on the rear surface of the machine body shell. The corresponding large, medium, and small plates contact the package, thereby pushing the corresponding pusher block to push the package into the slide.

[0012] Preferably, the outer surface of the pulley column is provided with an inclined groove corresponding to the sleeve, and adjacent pulley columns are fixedly connected by a belt. The bottom end of the magnet rod is fixedly installed with a spring inside the sleeve. The front surface of the pusher block is arc-shaped.

The unloading platform has an inverted trapezoidal structure, and the spring vertical plate has a T-shaped structure. The spring vertical plate is slidably installed inside the conveyor belt. The inverted trapezoidal shape of the unloading platform is used to prevent the package from being concentrated in one place and causing blockage.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a logistics sorting device with the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This logistics sorting equipment uses a motor to drive a rotating roller, which in turn drives a conveyor belt to rotate and transport packages of different sizes. The packages are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt and move along the unloading table. When the package comes into contact with the large, medium and small stickers, the rotating conveyor belt drives the pulley column of the sticker roller to rotate. The inclined groove on the surface drives the sleeve and the lifted magnetic rod to move repeatedly, which in turn drives the push block on the top of the movable frame corresponding to the small sticker to move. The package is pushed out of the slide after passing through the surface of the unloading table, which improves the smoothness of unloading and reduces the likelihood of slippage.

[0017] 2. This logistics sorting equipment, when the package volume is large, medium, or small, will pass through the corresponding small, medium, and large plates. When the corresponding plates swing, the metal blocks at the top come into contact, activating the current inside the coil. This current in the corresponding coil pushes the top magnetic rod upward, causing the pusher block at the top of the movable frame, corresponding to the large, medium, and small plates, to move and push the corresponding package onto the unloading platform surface and onto the corresponding slide. It uses electromagnetism to automatically complete the sorting of different sizes, with high transmission efficiency and timely processing of different packages.

[0018] 2. This logistics sorting equipment, when centrally processing fragile items or handling heavy items, utilizes the weight of the packages and fragile items during transport on the conveyor belt. The weight of the packages and fragile items compresses the spring vertical plate downwards, squeezing the swing arm. The end of the swing arm drives the top of the auxiliary frame upwards, causing the large, medium, and small slides to move upwards simultaneously. This changes the angle between the large, medium, and small slides and the unloading platform, allowing for smooth transfer of fragile and heavy items when the pusher blocks push the packages. This prevents fragile and heavy items from tipping over due to inertia and allows for adaptive adjustment of the unloading angle. Attached Figure Description

[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 1-5A logistics sorting device includes a housing 1, inside which a conveyor belt 2 is disposed. A rotating roller 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the conveyor belt 2, and a sensing component 5 is disposed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2. The sensing component 5 includes a small plate 501, a medium plate 502, a large plate 503, a fixed frame 504, a first metal block group 505, a second metal block group 506, a third metal block group 507, a first coil 508, a second coil 509, and a third coil 510. The small plate 501, the medium plate 502, and the large plate 503 are respectively disposed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2. The small plate 501, the medium plate 502, and the large plate 503 are movably installed inside the fixed frame 504. A metal block group is disposed between the small plate 501 and the fixed frame 504. Metal block group 506 is arranged between the middle plate 502 and the fixing frame 504. Metal block group 507 is arranged between the large plate 503 and the fixing frame 504. Metal block group 505 is electrically connected to coil 508. Metal block group 506 is electrically connected to coil 509. Metal block group 507 is electrically connected to coil 510. Coils 508, 509, and 510 are respectively arranged inside the sleeve 702. The magnetic poles of coils 508, 509, and 510 are opposite to the magnetic poles of magnet rod 703. Small plate 501, middle plate 502, and large plate 503 are arranged in parallel left and right. Fixing frames 504 are evenly distributed on the rear surface of the outer shell 1.

[0027] With the above technical solution, when the package volume is large, it will first contact the small patch plate 501. When the small patch plate 501 swings, the metal block group 505 at the top contacts and connects the internal current of the coil 508. This causes the corresponding coil 508 to generate current and push the top magnet rod 703 to move upward. When the conveyor belt 2 rotates, it drives the pulley column 701 of the attachment roller 6 to rotate. The surface inclined groove drives the sleeve 702 and the lifted magnet rod 703 to move repeatedly.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a motor 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating roller 3 via a belt. An attachment roller 6 is installed inside the conveyor belt 2. A sorting device 7 is installed behind the attachment roller 6. The sorting device 7 includes a pulley column 701, a sleeve 702, a magnetic rod 703, a movable frame 704, a stop block 705, and a pusher block 706. The pulley column 701 is fixedly installed at the end of the attachment roller 6. A sleeve 702 is installed on the outer surface of the pulley column 701. A magnetic rod 703 is slidably installed inside the sleeve 702. The rear side of the magnetic rod 703 and... A movable frame 704 is slidably installed inside the outer casing 1. A pusher block 706 is provided at the end of the movable frame 704 and through the interior of the fixed frame 504. A stop block 705 corresponding to the magnet rod 703 is provided on the front surface of the movable frame 704. An inclined groove corresponding to the sleeve 702 is opened on the outer surface of the pulley column 701. Adjacent pulley columns 701 are fixedly connected by a belt. A spring is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the magnet rod 703 inside the sleeve 702. The front surface of the pusher block 706 is arc-shaped.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, when the conveyor belt 2 rotates, it drives the pulley column 701 of the attachment roller 6 to rotate. The inclined groove on the surface drives the sleeve 702 and the lifted magnet rod 703 to move repeatedly, thereby driving the push block 706 corresponding to the small plate 501 at the top of the movable frame 704 to move, pushing the package out through the large, medium and small slides on the surface of the unloading table 8.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a discharge platform 8 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the outer casing 1, and a discharge mechanism 9 is movably installed on the front surface of the attachment roller 6. The discharge mechanism 9 includes a spring vertical plate 901, a swing rod 902, an auxiliary frame 903, a middle slide rail 904, a small slide rail 905, a large slide rail 906, and a roller 907. A spring vertical plate 901 is provided inside the conveyor belt 2. The end of the spring vertical plate 901 is attached to the swing rod 902. The end of the swing rod 902 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary frame 903. A roller 907 is movably installed on the front surface of the auxiliary frame 903. The middle slide 904 has a small slide 905 and a large slide 906 fixedly installed on its left and right sides, respectively. Rollers 907 are installed inside the middle slide 904, the small slide 905 and the large slide 906. The middle slide 904 and the middle plate 502, the small slide 905 and the large plate 503, and the large slide 906 and the small plate 501 are all arranged in a corresponding manner. The unloading platform 8 has an inverted trapezoidal structure, and the spring vertical plate 901 has a T-shaped structure. The spring vertical plate 901 is slidably installed inside the conveyor belt 2.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, when handling fragile items in a centralized manner or when dealing with items that are heavy in volume, the weight of the package and the fragile items is relatively heavy when transported in the conveyor belt 2. Due to their own weight, the spring vertical plate 901 will press down on the swing rod 902. The end of the swing rod 902 will drive the top of the auxiliary frame 903 to move upward, thereby causing the large, medium and small slides to move upward simultaneously, thereby changing the angle between the large slide 906, the medium slide 904, the small slide 905 and the unloading platform 8, making the unloading more stable.

[0032] In operation, the motor 4 is first turned on, and the rotating roller 3 drives the conveyor belt 2 to rotate for transportation. Packages of varying sizes are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt 2, allowing them to move along the unloading platform 8. When a package is large, it will first contact the small mounting plate 501. When the small mounting plate 501 swings, the metal block group 505 at its top contacts, activating the current inside the coil 508. This causes the corresponding coil 508 to generate current, pushing the top magnet rod 703 upwards. As the conveyor belt 2 rotates, it drives the pulley column 701 of the attaching roller 6 to rotate, using the surface groove to drive the sleeve 702 to contact the lifted magnet rod. 703 moves repeatedly, thereby moving the pusher block 706 corresponding to the small plate 501 at the top of the movable frame 704, pushing large packages out of the large slide rail 906 on the surface of the unloading table 8. When the package is of medium size, it will pass through the small plate 501 and contact the middle plate 502. When the middle plate 502 swings, the metal block group 2 506 at the top comes into contact, activating the current inside the coil 2 509. This causes the corresponding coil 2 509 to generate current, pushing the top magnet rod 703 upward. Similarly, this can move the pusher block 706 corresponding to the middle plate 502 at the top of the movable frame 704, pushing the large package out of the unloading table. When a small package is pushed out by the slide 904 on the surface, it will pass through the small plate 501, the medium plate 502, and finally contact the large plate 503. When the large plate 503 swings, the metal block group 507 at the top comes into contact with it, which activates the current inside the coil 510. This causes the corresponding coil 510 to generate current, pushing the top magnet rod 703 upward. Similarly, this can drive the pusher block 706 at the top of the movable frame 704, which corresponds to the large plate 503, to move, pushing out the small package unloading table 8 through the small slide 905 on the surface. This allows for automatic sorting of packages of different sizes, with high transmission efficiency and timely processing of different packages. When handling packages, especially fragile items or heavy items, the weight of the packages and fragile items during transport on conveyor belt 2 causes the spring vertical plate 901 to press down on the swing arm 902 due to their own weight. The end of the swing arm 902 drives the top of the auxiliary frame 903 to move upward, thereby causing the large, medium, and small slides to move upward simultaneously. This changes the angle between the large slide 906, medium slide 904, and small slide 905 and the unloading platform 8. As a result, when the pusher block 706 pushes the package, the fragile items and heavy items are transferred smoothly, avoiding the tipping of fragile items and heavy items due to inertia. The angle of unloading can be adjusted adaptively.

[0033] 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.
