Its principle is to connect hundreds of belt conveyor modules in series to form a loop. All belt conveyor modules move along the loop, and the belt movement direction of the belt conveyor modules is perpendicular to the loop direction. Along the loop, there are waybill scanning devices and chutes and slots for different destination paths.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] The embodiment of the present application provides a poking rod device which can be installed on the conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device. Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, the poking rod device 10 comprises a base 11, a poking member 12 and a driving member 13, wherein the base 11 is used for being installed on the conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device, the poking member 12 is rotatably arranged on the base 11; the driving member 13 is arranged on the base 11, the output end of the driving member 13 is connected with the poking member 12 and can drive the poking member 12 to rotate to a preset working position, so that the poking member 12 pokes the to-be-sorted member 30 (for example, express member) stuck at the edge of the chute 211 of the sorting device into the chute 211.

[0041] The poking rod device 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application, by rotatably arranging the poking member 12 on the base 11, connecting the output end of the driving member 13 with the poking member 12 and driving the poking member 12 to rotate to a preset working position, so that the poking member 12 pokes the to-be-sorted member 30 stuck at the edge of the chute 211 of the sorting device into the chute 211, realizes automatic cleaning of the hanging bag, so that manual cleaning of the to-be-sorted member 30 stuck at the edge of the chute 211 is not needed, which is beneficial to reducing the working intensity of the personnel.

[0042] The poking rod device 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application has a working state and an idle state, the driving member 13 can drive the poking member 12 to rotate to a preset working position or a preset rest position, so as to realize automatic switching of the poking rod device 10 between the working state and the idle state. Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-4 When the driving member 13 drives the poking member 12 to rotate to the preset working position, the poking rod device 10 is in the working state; as shown in the figure, Figures 5-6 When the driving member 13 drives the poking member 12 to rotate to the preset rest position, the poking rod device 10 is in the idle state.

[0043] The poking rod device 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application installs all the components on the base 11, so as to be installed on the conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device as a whole, so that the poking rod device 10 can be independently detached from the conveying mechanism 22 as a whole, which is convenient for maintenance. As shown in the figure, Figures 1-6As shown in some embodiments of the present application, the base 11 is in a V-shaped structure, the V-shaped base 11 comprises a first flat plate 111 and a second flat plate 112, the second flat plate 112 is connected with the first flat plate 111 and forms an obtuse angle therebetween, the first flat plate 111 is used to be mounted on the conveying mechanism 22, and the poking member 12 and the driving member 13 are arranged on the side of the second flat plate 112 away from the first flat plate 111. By dividing the base 11 into the first flat plate 111 and the second flat plate 112 connected with each other and forming an obtuse angle therebetween, and arranging the poking member 12 and the driving member 13 on the side of the second flat plate 112 away from the first flat plate 111, the installation of the whole poking lever device 10 on the conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device and the installation of the poking member 12 and the driving member 13 on the base 11 are facilitated, especially when the whole poking lever device 10 is mounted on or detached from the conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device through the first flat plate 111, since the poking member 12 and the driving member 13 are arranged on the side of the second flat plate 112 away from the first flat plate 111, the first flat plate 111 will not be blocked by the poking member 12 and the driving member 13 when it is detached, thereby avoiding the interference of the poking member 12 and the driving member 13 and other components to the detaching operation.

[0044] It should be noted that when the poking lever device 10 is mounted on the conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device, the poking lever device 10 should be arranged at the end of the conveying mechanism 22 close to the chute 211, and the second flat plate 112 is located between the first flat plate 111 and the chute 211.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 the first flat plate 111 is provided with at least one first mounting hole 1111, a screw passes through the mounting hole to mount the first flat plate 111 on the conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device, and the first mounting hole 1111 is preferably a strip-shaped mounting hole, so that the first flat plate 111 can be moved along the length direction of the strip-shaped mounting hole to adjust the position during installation, so as to place the poking lever device 10 at a suitable installation position. For example, as shown in Figure 4 the first flat plate 111 is provided with two first mounting holes 1111, and both of the first mounting holes 1111 are strip-shaped mounting holes.

[0046] The second flat panel 112 is defined as a mounting surface, the knob 12 and the driving member 13 are arranged on the mounting surface, and the knob 12 can rotate to a preset working position or a preset rest position about a preset axis parallel to the mounting surface. Assuming that the preset rest position is a 0° position, when the driving member 13 drives the knob 12 in the 0° position to rotate 80°-90° about the preset axis parallel to the mounting surface, the knob 12 switches to the preset working position. When the knob 12 rotates to the preset working position, the knob 12 forms a first angle with the mounting surface, and the first angle can be 80°-90°; when the driving member 13 drives the knob 12 to rotate to the preset rest position, the knob 12 forms a second angle with the mounting surface, and the second angle can be 0°-10°. For example, as shown in Figure 1 , the driving member 13 drives the knob 12 to rotate to the preset working position, at this time, the first angle is 90°, that is, the knob 12 is perpendicular to the mounting surface of the second flat panel 112; as shown in Figure 5 , the driving member 13 drives the knob 12 to rotate to the preset rest position, at this time, the second angle is 0°, that is, the knob 12 is parallel to the mounting surface of the second flat panel 112. Of course, in other embodiments, the first angle and the second angle can also be other angles, and are not limited to the first angle being 90° and the second angle being 0°.

[0047] Optionally, the base 11 further comprises a triangular connecting plate 113, one side of the triangular connecting plate 113 is connected to the first flat panel 111, and the other side of the triangular connecting plate 113 is connected to the second flat panel 112. By arranging the triangular connecting plate 113 to connect the first flat panel 111 and the second flat panel 112, the overall structural stability of the base 11 can be improved. The number of triangular connecting plates 113 can be one, two or more, and can be arranged according to actual needs. For example, as shown in Figure 4 , the number of triangular connecting plates 113 is three, and the triangular connecting plates 113 are distributed at intervals.

[0048] For example, as shown in Figures 7-9As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the poking member 12 comprises a swinging rod 121, a resilient rod 122 and a poking rod 123, the swinging rod 121 is rotatably installed on the base 11, the two ends of the resilient rod 122 are connected with the swinging rod 121 and the poking rod 123 respectively, and the resilient rod 122 has certain elasticity and flexibility. It should be noted that when the poking rod device 10 is installed on the conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device, the poking rod device 10 should be arranged at the end of the conveying mechanism 22 close to the chute 211, and it is ensured that the poking member 12 is located between the conveying mechanism 22 and the chute 211 when the poking member 12 rotates to the preset working position. The swinging rod 121 and the poking rod 123 are connected by using the resilient rod 122, so that when the to-be-sorted member 30 encountering the edge of the chute 211 is clamped firmly and cannot be poked, the resilient rod 122 will automatically bend after reaching a certain resistance to avoid the to-be-sorted member 30; after the conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device drives the poking member 12 to move away from the chute 211, the poking rod 123 automatically restores to the original state under the elastic action of the resilient rod 122, so as to avoid that the poking member 12 is clamped and broken when encountering a to-be-sorted member 30 with too large resistance.

[0049] Specifically, the swinging rod 121 is rotatably installed on the base 11 through a first rotating shaft, the end of the swinging rod 121 away from the poking rod 123 is provided with a rotating shaft hole 1211, the base 11 is provided with a rotating shaft seat 16, the rotating shaft seat 16 is provided with two installation holes arranged oppositely, the end of the swinging rod 121 provided with the rotating shaft hole 1211 is arranged between the two installation holes, and the first rotating shaft is arranged in the rotating shaft hole 1211 of the swinging rod 121 and the two installation holes of the rotating shaft seat 16. Optionally, as shown in the figure, Figures 7-9 As shown, the end of the swinging rod 121 away from the poking rod 123 is bent to form a curved portion 1212, the rotating shaft hole 1211 is arranged on the curved portion 1212, and the curved portion 1212 is rotatably connected with the base 11 through the first rotating shaft, so as to rotatably install the swinging rod 121 on the base 11.

[0050] Optionally, as shown in the figure, Figures 7-9As shown, the end of the poking rod 123 away from the elastic rod 122 is provided with a poking part 124, the length of the poking part 124 is less than the length of the poking rod 123, and the preset angle is between the poking part 124 and the poking rod 123. By setting the poking part 124, and making the length of the poking part 124 less than the length of the poking rod 123 and the preset angle between the poking part 124 and the poking rod 123, for soft sorting pieces 30 (such as soft packages), compared with the poking rod 123 without the poking part 124, the poking rod 123 with the poking part 124 can more effectively contact the sorting pieces 30 and apply a poking force to the sorting pieces 30 through the poking part 124, preventing the soft sorting pieces 30 from being flattened after contacting the poking member 12 and passing from below the poking member 12, causing the poking member 12 to be unable to poke the sorting pieces 30 stuck in the edge of the chute 211 of the sorting device into the chute 211. Wherein, the poking part 124 can be formed by bending the end of the poking rod 123 away from the swinging rod 121.

[0051] Further, the poking part 124 includes a poking end and a fixed end, the fixed end is connected to the poking rod 123, and the width of the poking part 124 gradually increases in the direction from the fixed end to the poking end, so that the acting surface of the poking part 124 on the sorting pieces 30 is larger, especially for soft sorting pieces 30 (such as soft packages), the larger the acting surface, the higher the success rate of the sorting pieces 30 stuck in the edge of the chute 211 entering the chute 211.

[0052] As shown in the drawings, Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic rod 122 is in a spring structure, the end of the swinging rod 121 connected to the spring structure is provided with a first guide column 1213, the end of the poking rod 123 connected to the spring structure is provided with a second guide column 1231, the gap is provided between the second guide column 1231 and the first guide column 1213, and the spring structure is sleeved on the first guide column 1213 and the second guide column 1231. By setting the first guide column 1213 and the second guide column 1231, the elastic rod 122 can be prevented from being bent and deformed when no resistance is encountered, causing the poking member 12 to be unable to work normally; by setting the gap between the second guide column 1231 and the first guide column 1213, the elastic rod 122 can be bent and deformed when encountering resistance exceeding the threshold value to avoid the sorting pieces 30.

[0053] Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic rod 122 can also be in a telescopic tube structure, that is, the elastic rod 122 is designed as a tube structure that can be telescoped along the length direction of the swing rod 121, one end of the swing rod 121 connected with the telescopic tube structure is provided with the first guide column 1213, one end of the push rod 123 connected with the telescopic tube structure is provided with the second guide column 1231, and the second guide column 1231 and the first guide column 1213 are provided with a gap therebetween. The telescopic tube structure is sleeved on the first guide column 1213 and the second guide column 1231, and the telescopic tube structure can also achieve the effect of bending when encountering a certain resistance.

[0054] Optionally, the driving member 13 comprises an electric push rod 131 and a transmission rod 132, one end of the transmission rod 132 is rotatably connected to the output end of the electric push rod 131, and the other end of the transmission rod 132 is rotatably connected to the poking member 12. Specifically, the other end of the transmission rod 132 is rotatably connected to the swing rod 121 of the poking member 12. The electric push rod 131 can take power from the conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device, and the electric push rod 131 can automatically extend and retract. When the electric push rod 131 extends, the poking member 12 rotates to the preset working position; when the electric push rod 131 retracts, the poking member 12 rotates to the preset rest position, so as to realize automatic switching of the poking rod device 10 between the working state and the idle state. It can be understood that the electric push rod 131 can be replaced by a hydraulic push rod, a linear motor, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an air cylinder, and the like. The electric push rod 131 is preferred because it has small size, high precision, and does not require a gas source or an oil circuit.

[0055] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-2 、 Figures 4-5 , the poking rod device 10 further comprises a push rod mounting bracket 17, the push rod mounting bracket 17 is mounted on the base 11, and the shell of the electric push rod 131 is supported on the push rod mounting bracket 17 near the poking member 12, so as to improve the stability of the electric push rod 131.

[0056] As shown in Figures 1-2 、 Figures 4-5As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the dial lever device 10 further comprises a guide rail 14 extending along the extension direction of the electric push rod 131 and a sliding block 15 slidably arranged on the guide rail 14; the sliding block 15 is connected to the output end of the electric push rod 131, and one end of the transmission rod 132 is rotatably connected to the sliding block 15. By arranging the guide rail 14 and the sliding block 15, a guiding effect can be achieved, so that the dial lever 12 rotates more stably and is prevented from shaking. Specifically, the sliding block 15 can slide along the extension direction of the guide rail 14, when the electric push rod 131 extends, the sliding block 15 moves away from the shell of the electric push rod 131, and the dial lever 12 rotates to the preset working position; when the electric push rod 131 retracts, the sliding block 15 moves towards the shell of the electric push rod 131, and the dial lever 12 rotates to the preset rest position.

[0057] Optionally, the dial lever device 10 further comprises a mounting piece 18 mounted on the sliding block 15, and the mounting piece 18 is connected to the output end of the electric push rod 131, and one end of the transmission rod 132 is rotatably connected to the mounting piece 18. By arranging the mounting piece 18, the connection between the sliding block 15 and the transmission rod 132 is facilitated. Optionally, the swing lever 121 is further provided with a connecting block 1214, one end of the transmission rod 132 is rotatably connected to the mounting piece 18 through a third rotating shaft, and the other end of the transmission rod 132 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 1214 through a fourth rotating shaft. By arranging the connecting block 1214 on the swing lever 121, one end of the transmission rod 132 can be more conveniently rotatably mounted on the swing lever 121.

[0058] The present application also provides a sorting system which can be applied to, but is not limited to, sorting of express items in the field of logistics. Figures 10-15 As shown, the sorting system comprises a sorting device and the dial lever device 10 of any of the above embodiments, the sorting device comprises a sorting table 21 and a plurality of conveying mechanisms 22, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 22 are arranged in sequence and can move along a preset direction, the sorting table 21 is provided with a plurality of chutes 211 along the preset direction, and the conveying mechanisms 22 are used to carry the to-be-sorted items 30 and convey the to-be-sorted items 30 thereon into the corresponding chutes 211; the dial lever device 10 is mounted on at least one conveying mechanism 22.

[0059] Specifically, the sorting device is distributed with a surface single scanning device and chutes 211 of different destination paths along the preset direction; one to-be-sorted item 30 is carried on each conveying mechanism 22, when the conveying mechanism 22 moves to the scanning device, the destination information of the to-be-sorted item 30 is acquired, and then the to-be-sorted item 30 placed thereon is conveyed into the corresponding chute 211 at the corresponding chute 211 position, so as to realize the sorting function of the sorting device.

[0060] It should be noted that the poking rod device 10 can be installed on only one conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device, or can be installed on multiple conveying mechanisms 22, and at least one poking rod device 10 can be installed on each conveying mechanism 22. The conveying mechanism 22 on which the poking rod device 10 is installed no longer participates in the receiving and sorting work. Since the conveying mechanism 22 on which the poking rod device 10 is installed no longer participates in the receiving and sorting work, it is preferred that the poking rod device 10 is installed on only one conveying mechanism 22, and the remaining conveying mechanisms 22 participate in the receiving and sorting work, so as to ensure the sorting efficiency of the sorting device, and to avoid affecting the sorting efficiency of the sorting device due to occupying too many conveying mechanisms 22 to install the poking rod device 10.

[0061] The sorting system provided by the embodiment of the present application can realize automatic cleaning of the hanging bags by installing the poking rod device 10 of the present application on one conveying mechanism 22 of the sorting device, so that when the driving member 13 drives the poking member 12 to rotate to the preset working position, the poking member 12 can poke the to-be-sorted member 30 stuck at the edge of the chute 211 of the sorting device into the chute 211 during the movement of the conveying mechanism 22 in the preset direction, thereby greatly reducing the working intensity of the personnel and improving the work efficiency.

[0062] Optionally, the sorting device can be a cross-belt sorting device, and the cross-belt sorting device connects multiple conveying mechanisms 22 in series to form a loop line, and all the conveying mechanisms 22 can move along the direction of the loop line, and the direction of the loop line is taken as the preset direction, and the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 22 is perpendicular to the direction of the loop line. The conveying mechanism 22 can be a belt machine or a conveying roller assembly, and the belt machine or the conveying roller assembly can convey the to-be-sorted member 30 placed thereon to the corresponding chute 211 when rotating.

[0063] Optionally, the sorting table 21 is provided with an inclined transition surface 212 between the inlet of the chute 211 and the conveying mechanism 22, and the inclined transition surface 212 has a high-position end and a low-position end. The low-position end of the transition surface 212 is connected to the inlet of the chute 211, and the poking member 12 of the poking rod device 10 can rotate in the transition surface 212. The transition surface 212 with the above structure can guide the to-be-sorted member 30 to the inlet of the chute 211, and is beneficial to the smooth entry of the to-be-sorted member 30 into the chute 211.

[0064] Preferably, the poking member 12 is in a straight rod shape, and the center line of the straight rod-shaped poking member 12 is parallel to the transition surface 212, so that the collision between the poking member 12 and the transition surface 212 during the rotation of the poking member 12 can be avoided. Specifically, the base 11 in the V-shaped structure includes a first flat plate 111 and a second flat plate 112, the second flat plate 112 is connected with the first flat plate 111 and forms an obtuse angle therebetween, the first flat plate 111 is installed on the conveying mechanism 22 and is arranged at one end of the conveying mechanism 22 close to the chute 211, the second flat plate 112 is located between the first flat plate 111 and the chute 211, and the poking member 12 and the driving member 13 are arranged on the side of the second flat plate 112 away from the first flat plate 111; when the straight rod-shaped poking member 12 is installed on the second flat plate 112 of the base 11, the center line of the poking member 12 is perpendicular to the installation surface of the second flat plate 112, and when the base 11 is installed on the conveying mechanism 22, the installation surface of the second flat plate 112 is perpendicular to the transition surface 212, so that the center line of the poking member 12 can be parallel to the transition surface 212.

[0065] The working principle of the sorting system of the present application will be described below by taking the sorting piece 30 as an express piece as an example: when the sorting device performs the sorting work of the express piece, the poking rod device 10 is in an idle state, and the poking member 12 is rotated to a preset rest position (as shown in FIG. 6A); after the sorting device completes the normal sorting work of the express piece, the poking rod device 10 is in a working state, and the poking member 12 is rotated to a preset working position (as shown in FIG. 6B), and all the conveying mechanisms 22 of the sorting device slowly move in a preset direction, and the poking rod device 10 pokes the express piece clamped between the mouths of the chutes 211 into the corresponding chute 211.
