Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of document sorting technology, specifically a document sorting and picking device. Background Technology
[0002] The concept of negotiable instruments can be broadly or narrowly defined. In a broad sense, negotiable instruments include various securities and certificates, such as stocks, corporate bonds, invoices, and bills of lading. In a narrow sense, negotiable instruments, as defined in my country's "Negotiable Instruments Law," include bills of exchange, bank drafts, and checks. These are negotiable instruments issued by the drawer, promising to pay a certain amount of money unconditionally to the payee or holder upon presentation or on a specified date.
[0003] According to a document recognition and classification device based on OCR technology disclosed in patent number CN112562173B, paper documents can be classified, sorted, and summarized according to the recognition results of the scanning mechanism, thereby improving the efficiency of document processing by making the paper documents neatly archived later. When transferring documents to the scanning table, the negative pressure of the hollow plate in the conveying mechanism first adsorbs the documents in the carrying frame, and then the screw and moving block convey the documents to the upper side of the scanning table in an orderly manner. However, due to the light weight of the documents and the difficulty in making small adjustments to the negative pressure value, it is easy for the hollow plate to adsorb multiple documents at the same time when adsorbing documents through negative pressure.
[0004] Existing ticket sorting and picking devices struggle to separate tickets before transferring them using negative pressure adsorption. Furthermore, after the transfer process, it's difficult to flatten and adjust the tickets. Additionally, during the transfer process using threaded rods and blocks, the moving block constantly reciprocates between the scanning table and the carrying frame. After transferring a set of tickets, the moving block must return to the top of the carrying frame to complete continuous ticket transfer. This makes it difficult to use a conveyor belt to transfer tickets, thus reducing transfer time and enhancing the continuity of ticket transfer.
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, a solution is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ticket sorting and picking device. This device first separates tickets using a plastic plate in a transfer mechanism, and then uses a negative pressure component to adsorb the tickets, avoiding the simultaneous negative pressure adsorption and transfer of two sets of tickets. Simultaneously, two connecting plates above the conveyor belt enhance the continuity of the ticket transfer process, improving ticket sorting efficiency. Furthermore, a flattening mechanism assists in flattening the tickets during the transfer process. This solves the problems of existing devices, which struggle to first separate tickets, then perform negative pressure adsorption and transfer, and subsequently flatten and adjust the tickets, as well as the difficulty in transferring tickets via a conveyor belt. This invention reduces ticket transfer time and enhances the continuity of ticket transfer.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

A second bevel gear is meshed with the outer wall of the first bevel gear. The center of the second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the first limiting shaft. One end of the first limiting shaft extends into the interior of the connecting pipe and is fixedly connected to a fan. Two sets of one-way valves are provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe near the second bevel gear. A negative pressure box is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the first limiting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transfer box, one side of the negative pressure box is fixedly connected to the transfer box, and the length of the negative pressure box is the same as that of the transfer box.

[0015] Furthermore, the supporting assembly includes a ball screw jack, a loading plate, and a carrying box. The carrying box is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the scanning box. The ball screw jack is installed at the bottom of the carrying box, and the loading plate is installed at the top of the ball screw jack. The loading plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the carrying box.
[0016] Furthermore, the specific usage process of this ticket sorting and picking device includes the following steps:
[0017] Step 1: Before scanning the tickets, organize the tickets to be scanned to keep them neat, and then put them into the carrier box (43);
[0018] Step 2: When scanning the ticket, the conveyor belt (8) drives the connecting plate (63) to move. When the first roller (61) in the transfer mechanism (6) contacts the reciprocating bending slide (662), the first roller (61) moves back and forth on the outer wall of the reciprocating bending slide (662). The first roller (61) drives the first transmission plate (611) to move back and forth, causing the plastic plate (69) to rub against the fleece cloth (68), generating static electricity in the plastic plate (69). As the first roller (61) slides from the top of the reciprocating bending slide (662) to the bottom slide (663), the limiting track assembly (66) continuously pushes the transmission rod (62) downward. The transmission rod (62) pushes the first transmission plate (611) downward. The bottom of the first transmission plate (611) first cooperates with the limiting post (610) to abut against each other, allowing the first transmission plate (611) to have the plastic plate (69) on it. One end gradually rotates out to the outside of the transfer box (64), and then it cooperates with the groove (511) to make contact and push the second transmission plate (510) upward. The second transmission plate (510) pushes the second limit shaft (56) upward. At this time, the rubber roller (516) above the second limit shaft (56) cooperates with the outer wall of the conveyor belt (8) and rotates. The rotation of the rubber roller (516) drives the third limit shaft (515) at its center to rotate. The third limit shaft (515) drives the first bevel gear (517) to rotate. The first bevel gear (517) drives the second bevel gear (518) on its outside to rotate. The second bevel gear (518) drives the first limit shaft (55) at its center to rotate. The rotation of the first limit shaft (55) continuously drives the fan (54) to rotate. The rotation of the fan (54) continuously transfers the air inside the connecting pipe (51) to the outside through the one-way valve (514).
[0019] Step 3: When the angle of rotation of the plastic plate (69) increases to the maximum value, the plastic plate (69) is located above the ticket and in contact with the ticket. Due to the static electricity on the top of the plastic plate (69), the ticket is attracted. At this time, the ticket at the top is separated from the ticket below it. The second control valve (513) is opened and the negative pressure box (52) attracts the ticket.
[0020] Step 4: When the conveyor belt (8) transfers the ticket to the scanning table (3), the first control valve (53) is opened to complete the placement of the ticket and the scanning mechanism (5) completes the identification of the ticket. The second roller (74) located on one side of the transfer box (64) flattens the ticket as the conveyor belt (8) moves. At the same time, another set of connecting plates (63) on the conveyor belt (8) is about to reach the top of the carrying box (43). The ball screw jack (41) pushes the carrying plate (42) upward, allowing the ticket on the carrying box (43) to continue to move upward a certain distance and complete the placement of the ticket through the components on the other set of connecting plates (63). The tickets are continuously transferred to the top of the scanning table (3), improving the efficiency of ticket sorting.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0022] 1. In this invention, when the rotation angle of the plastic plate increases to its maximum value, the plastic plate is positioned directly above and in contact with the ticket. Due to the static electricity on the top of the plastic plate, the ticket is attracted to the paper. At this point, the ticket at the top separates from the ticket immediately below. The second control valve is then activated, and the negative pressure box attracts the ticket. In this process, the separation between the tickets is completed first, and then the attraction of the tickets is completed by the negative pressure component. Simultaneously, the ticket is transferred to the top of the scanning table by the conveyor belt. Two sets of connecting plates are provided above the conveyor belt. After one set of connecting plates completes the transfer of the ticket, the other set of connecting plates arrives at the top of the carrying box to complete the transfer of the next set of tickets. The entire process is highly continuous. The separation between the tickets is completed first by the plastic plate in the transfer mechanism, and then the attraction of the tickets is completed by the negative pressure component. This avoids the phenomenon of simultaneously attracting and transferring two sets of tickets under negative pressure. At the same time, the two sets of connecting plates above the conveyor belt enhance the continuity of the ticket transfer process and improve the efficiency of ticket sorting.
[0023] 2. In this invention, when the conveyor belt transfers the ticket to the scanning table, the second roller located on one side of the transfer box flattens the ticket as the conveyor belt moves. The flattening mechanism assists in flattening the ticket during the transfer and placement process.
[0024] 3. In this invention, the plastic plate in the transfer mechanism first completes the separation of the tickets, and then the negative pressure component completes the adsorption of the tickets, avoiding the phenomenon of simultaneously adsorbing and transferring two sets of tickets under negative pressure. At the same time, the two sets of connecting plates set above the conveyor belt enhance the continuity of the ticket transfer process and improve the efficiency of ticket sorting. Furthermore, the flattening mechanism assists in flattening the tickets during the transfer and placement process. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Example 1:
[0038] Existing ticket sorting and picking devices struggle to separate tickets before transferring them using negative pressure adsorption to avoid simultaneously adsorbing multiple tickets. Furthermore, they are inefficient at using conveyor belts to transfer tickets, thus limiting transfer time and improving the continuity of transfer. A solution is proposed below:
[0039] like Figure 1-9As shown, the present invention proposes a document sorting and picking device, including a sorting box 1 and a scanning box 2, which are interconnected. A scanning mechanism 5 is provided on the top of the scanning box 2. The scanning mechanism 5 is a document-specific scanner. A scanning table 3 is provided inside the scanning box 2. A support component 4 is provided on one side of the scanning table 3. Two sets of rotating shafts 10 are provided above the support component 4. Both ends of the two sets of rotating shafts 10 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the scanning box 2 through bearings. A motor is provided at one end of one set of rotating shafts 10. Two sets of conveyor wheels 9 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating shafts 10. A conveyor belt 8 is connected between the two sets of opposite conveyor wheels 9. A transfer mechanism 6 is provided on the outer side of the two sets of conveyor belts 8. A leveling mechanism 7 is provided on one side of the transfer mechanism 6. The transfer mechanism 6 and the leveling mechanism 7 are both located below the two sets of conveyor belts 8 to avoid affecting the scanning of documents by the scanning mechanism 5. The motor drives the rotating shafts 10 to rotate, and the rotating shafts 10 drive the conveyor belts 8 to rotate through the conveyor wheels 9.
[0040] The transfer mechanism 6 includes a first roller 61, a transmission rod 62, a connecting plate 63, a transfer box 64, a negative pressure component 65, a limiting track component 66, a tension spring 67, a fleece cloth 68, a plastic plate 69, a limiting post 610, and a first transmission plate 611. Two sets of connecting plates 63 are provided, and the connecting plates 63 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two sets of conveyor belts 8. The transfer box 64 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the connecting plate 63. A transmission rod 62 is slidably arranged at the connection between the transfer box 64 and the connecting plate 63. The top end of the transmission rod 62 is rotatably connected to the first roller 61 via a pin. The first roller 61 cooperates with the outer wall of the limiting track component 66, and the bottom end of the transmission rod 62 is connected to... The first transmission plates 611 are mutually engaged. A first T-shaped groove is provided on the outer wall of the first transmission plate 611, and a first T-shaped slider is slidably connected inside the first T-shaped groove. The first T-shaped slider is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the transmission rod 62 through a pin. A plastic plate 69 is fixedly connected to one end of the first transmission plate 611. The outer side of the plastic plate 69 is in contact with the fleece cloth 68. When the two are in contact, the plastic plate 69 will generate static electricity. A negative pressure component 65 is provided at the other end of the first transmission plate 611. The bottom end of the transfer box 64 is rotatably connected to a limit post 610 through a pin, and the limit post 610 is mutually engaged with the other end of the first transmission plate 611.
[0041] Two sets of connecting plates 63 are evenly distributed above the two sets of conveyor belts 8, and the fleece cloth 68 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transfer box 64.
[0042] The limiting track assembly 66 includes a first slide rail 661, a reciprocating bending slide rail 662, a lower slide rail 663, and an inclined slide rail 664. One end of the first slide rail 661 is fixedly connected to the reciprocating bending slide rail 662. When the first roller 61 moves to the highest point of the reciprocating bending slide rail 662, the first transmission plate 611 does not contact the negative pressure assembly 65. The positional relationship is as follows: Figure 4As shown, when the first roller 61 moves to the bottom of the reciprocating bending slide 662, the first transmission plate 611 does not contact the limiting post 610, but is close to the limiting post 610. One end of the reciprocating bending slide 662 is fixedly connected to the lower slide 663. The lower slide 663 is the lowest horizontal position in the limiting track assembly 66. It is the slide where the plastic plate 69 contacts the ticket and completes the separation of the top ticket from the adjacent lower ticket. One end of the lower slide 663 is fixedly connected to the inclined slide 664. After the ticket is adsorbed by the plastic plate 69, the negative pressure assembly 65 adsorbs and transfers the ticket. The inclined slide 664 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first slide 661. The first slide 661, the reciprocating bending slide 662, the lower slide 663 and the inclined slide 664 are all fixedly connected to the inner wall of the scanning box 2.
[0043] The negative pressure assembly 65 includes a connecting pipe 51, a negative pressure box 52, a first control valve 53, a fan 54, a first limiting shaft 55, a second limiting shaft 56, a first limiting plate 57, a first limiting rod 58, a movable groove 59, a second transmission plate 510, a groove 511, a thrust spring 512, a second control valve 513, a one-way valve 514, a third limiting shaft 515, a rubber roller 516, a first bevel gear 517, and a second bevel gear 518. The front side wall of the transfer box 64 has a movable groove 59. A first limiting rod 58 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the device. A second transmission plate 510 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first limiting rod 58. A groove 511 is formed on the bottom side wall of one end of the second transmission plate 510. The top of the other end of the second transmission plate 510 is engaged with the second limiting shaft 56. A second T-shaped groove is formed on the top of the second transmission plate 510. A second T-shaped slider is slidably connected inside the second T-shaped groove, and the top of the second T-shaped slider is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the second limiting shaft 56 through a pin. A first limiting plate 57 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting shaft 56. A thrust spring 512 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second limiting shaft 56 located between the first limiting plate 57 and the second transmission plate 510. A third limiting shaft 515 is rotatably connected to the top of the second limiting shaft 56 via a bearing. A rubber roller 516 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the third limiting shaft 515, and the rubber roller 516 cooperates with the outer wall of the conveyor belt 8. A first bevel gear 517 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the third limiting shaft 515. The outer wall of 7 is meshed with a second bevel gear 518. A first limiting shaft 55 is fixedly connected to the center of the second bevel gear 518. One end of the first limiting shaft 55 extends into the interior of the connecting pipe 51 and is fixedly connected to a fan 54. Two sets of one-way valves 514 are provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 51 near the second bevel gear 518. A negative pressure box 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe 51. A second control valve 513 is provided at the opening at the bottom of the negative pressure box 52. A first control valve 53 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 51.
[0044] One end of the first limiting plate 57 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transfer box 64, and one side of the negative pressure box 52 is fixedly connected to the transfer box 64, and the length of the negative pressure box 52 is the same as that of the transfer box 64.
[0045] In this embodiment, when the rotation angle of the plastic plate 69 increases to its maximum value, the plastic plate 69 is positioned directly above and in contact with the document. Due to the static electricity on the upper part of the plastic plate 69, the document is attracted to the paper. At this time, the document at the top separates from the document immediately below it. The second control valve 513 is then opened, and the negative pressure box 52 attracts the document. In this process, the separation between the documents is completed first, and then the attraction of the document is completed by the negative pressure component 65. At the same time, the document is transferred to the upper part of the scanning table 3 by the conveyor belt 8. Two sets of connecting plates 63 are provided above the conveyor belt 8. After one set of connecting plates 63 completes the transfer of the document, the other set of connecting plates 63 arrives at the upper part of the carrying box 43 to complete the transfer of the next set of documents. The whole process is highly continuous. The separation between the documents is completed first by the plastic plate 69 in the transfer mechanism 6, and then the attraction of the document is completed by the negative pressure component 65. This avoids the phenomenon of simultaneously attracting and transferring two sets of documents by negative pressure. At the same time, the two sets of connecting plates 63 above the conveyor belt 8 enhance the continuity of the document transfer process and improve the efficiency of document sorting.
[0046] Example 2:
[0047] The leveling mechanism 7 includes a connecting rod 71, a spring damper 72, a leveling rod 73, and a second roller 74. The connecting rod 71 is fixedly connected to one side of the transfer box 64. The bottom end of the connecting rod 71 is connected to the leveling rod 73 through the spring damper 72. One end of the leveling rod 73 is rotatably connected to the second roller 74 through a pin. The other end of the leveling rod 73 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the transfer box 64 through a pin.
[0048] The support assembly 4 includes a ball screw jack 41, a loading plate 42, and a support box 43. The support box 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the scanning box 2. The ball screw jack 41 is provided at the bottom of the support box 43, and the loading plate 42 is provided at the top of the ball screw jack 41. The loading plate 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support box 43.
[0049] In this embodiment, when the conveyor belt 8 transfers the ticket to the scanning table 3, the second roller 74 located on one side of the transfer box 64 flattens the ticket as the conveyor belt 8 moves. The flattening mechanism 7 assists in flattening the ticket during the transfer and placement process.
[0050] The working process and principle of this invention are as follows:
[0051] Before scanning the documents, the documents to be scanned are arranged neatly and then placed into the carrier box 43. During scanning, the conveyor belt 8 moves the connecting plate 63. When the first roller 61 in the transfer mechanism 6 contacts the reciprocating bending slide 662, the first roller 61 reciprocates on the outer wall of the reciprocating bending slide 662. The first roller 61, through the first transmission plate 611, causes the plastic plate 69 to rub against the fleece cloth 68, generating static electricity in the plastic plate 69. As the first roller 61 slides from the top of the reciprocating bending slide 662 to the bottom of the slide 663, the limiting track assembly 66 continuously pushes the transmission rod 62 and the first transmission plate 611 downwards. The bottom of 11 first engages with the limiting post 610, causing the end of the first transmission plate 611 with the plastic plate 69 to gradually rotate out to the outside of the transfer box 64. Then, it engages with the groove 511 and pushes the second transmission plate 510 upward. The negative pressure component 65 causes the fan 54 to rotate continuously, transferring the air inside the connecting pipe 51 to the outside through the one-way valve 514. When the angle of rotation of the plastic plate 69 increases to the maximum value, the plastic plate 69 is located above the ticket and in contact with the ticket. Due to the static electricity on the top of the plastic plate 69, the ticket is attracted. At this time, the ticket at the top and the ticket below it are separated. The second control valve 513 is opened, and the negative pressure box 52 attracts the ticket.
[0052] When the conveyor belt 8 transfers the ticket to the scanning table 3, the first control valve 53 is opened to place the ticket and the scanning mechanism 5 identifies the ticket. The second roller 74 located on one side of the transfer box 64 flattens the ticket as the conveyor belt 8 moves. At the same time, another set of connecting plates 63 on the conveyor belt 8 is about to reach the top of the carrying box 43. The ball screw jack 41 pushes the carrying plate 42 upward, allowing the ticket on the carrying box 43 to continue to move upward a certain distance. The ticket is then placed by the components on the other set of connecting plates 63, continuously transferring the tickets to the top of the scanning table 3, thus improving the efficiency of ticket sorting.

8. A document sorting apparatus according to claim 7, wherein The specific usage process of this ticket sorting and picking device includes the following steps: Step 1: Before scanning the tickets, organize the tickets to be scanned to keep them neat, and then put them into the carrier box (43); Step 2: When scanning the ticket, the conveyor belt (8) drives the connecting plate (63) to move. When the first roller (61) in the transfer mechanism (6) contacts the reciprocating bending slide (662), the first roller (61) moves back and forth on the outer wall of the reciprocating bending slide (662). The first roller (61) drives the first transmission plate (611) to move back and forth, causing the plastic plate (69) to rub against the fleece cloth (68), generating static electricity in the plastic plate (69). As the first roller (61) slides from the top of the reciprocating bending slide (662) to the bottom slide (663), the limiting track assembly (66) continuously pushes the transmission rod (62) downward. The transmission rod (62) pushes the first transmission plate (611) downward. The bottom of the first transmission plate (611) first cooperates with the limiting post (610) to abut against each other, allowing the first transmission plate (611) to have the plastic plate (69) on it. One end gradually rotates out to the outside of the transfer box (64), and then it cooperates with the groove (511) to make contact and push the second transmission plate (510) upward. The second transmission plate (510) pushes the second limit shaft (56) upward. At this time, the rubber roller (516) above the second limit shaft (56) cooperates with the outer wall of the conveyor belt (8) and rotates. The rotation of the rubber roller (516) drives the third limit shaft (515) at its center to rotate. The third limit shaft (515) drives the first bevel gear (517) to rotate. The first bevel gear (517) drives the second bevel gear (518) on its outside to rotate. The second bevel gear (518) drives the first limit shaft (55) at its center to rotate. The rotation of the first limit shaft (55) continuously drives the fan (54) to rotate. The rotation of the fan (54) continuously transfers the air inside the connecting pipe (51) to the outside through the one-way valve (514). Step 3: When the angle of rotation of the plastic plate (69) increases to the maximum value, the plastic plate (69) is located above the ticket and in contact with the ticket. Due to the static electricity on the top of the plastic plate (69), the ticket is attracted. At this time, the ticket at the top is separated from the ticket below it. The second control valve (513) is opened and the negative pressure box (52) attracts the ticket. Step 4: When the conveyor belt (8) transfers the ticket to the scanning table (3), the first control valve (53) is opened to complete the placement of the ticket and the scanning mechanism (5) completes the identification of the ticket. The second roller (74) located on one side of the transfer box (64) flattens the ticket as the conveyor belt (8) moves. At the same time, another set of connecting plates (63) on the conveyor belt (8) is about to reach the top of the carrying box (43). The ball screw jack (41) pushes the carrying plate (42) upward, allowing the ticket on the carrying box (43) to continue to move upward a certain distance and complete the placement of the ticket through the components on the other set of connecting plates (63). The tickets are continuously transferred to the top of the scanning table (3), improving the efficiency of ticket sorting.
