DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an intelligent logistics sorting device of the present invention includes a frame 1, a conveyor belt 11 is installed on the frame 1, a scanning component is provided on the right side of the conveyor belt 11, and a plurality of sorting components are provided on the left side of the conveyor belt 11;

[0030] The scanning assembly includes a slide 2 provided on the front and rear sides of the frame 1, a U-shaped frame 21 is slidably assembled in the two slides 2, a scanner 211 is installed in the middle of the lower side of the U-shaped frame 21, a first spring 22 is provided between the left side of the U-shaped frame 21 and the side wall of the slide 2, a mounting bar 23 is fixed on the front and rear sides of the U-shaped frame 21, a movable groove 24 is provided in the mounting bar 23, a slider 25 is slidably assembled in the movable groove 24, a second spring 26 is provided between the lower side of the slider 25 and the lower wall of the movable groove 24, a connecting rod 27 is connected to the lower side of the slider 25, the lower end of the connecting rod 27 slides through the mounting bar 23 and is connected to a magnet block 28, and the conveyor belt 11 is provided with a plurality of iron blocks 29 evenly distributed and matching the magnet blocks 28;

[0031] In the initial state, the U-shaped frame 21 is located at the left end of the chute 2 under the elastic force of the first spring 22, and the slider 25 is located at the upper end of the movable groove 24 under the elastic force of the second spring 26, that is, the magnet block 28 is above the conveyor belt 11;

[0032] The conveyor belt 11 will be able to drive the logistics package to move from right to left. When the logistics package is sorted, the upper conveyor belt or manual labor will send the logistics package to the upper side of the conveyor belt 11, and the barcode of the logistics package will face the upper side. The position of the logistics package corresponds to the position of the iron block 29. When the logistics package moves to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 21, the iron block 29 moves to the lower side of the magnet block 28. The magnet block 28 will move downward and be adsorbed by the iron block 29, that is, the slider 26 is driven by the connecting rod 27 to overcome the elastic force of the second spring 26 and move downward. After the magnet block 28 and the iron block 29 are adsorbed, the conveyor belt 11 continues to move to the left, which will drive the U-shaped frame 21 to move to the left in the chute 2 to overcome the first spring 22, that is, the U-shaped frame 21 will move synchronously with the logistics package, and the scanner 211 will be relatively stationary with the logistics package, and then pass through the scanner 2 11 scans and identifies the barcode on the upper side of the logistics package to obtain the information of the logistics package. No unrecognized situation will occur until the U-shaped frame 21 moves to the left side of the chute 2 so that the first spring 22 cannot be compressed. The conveyor belt 11 continues to move to the left, and the iron block 29 will be out of contact with the magnet block 28. Then, under the elastic force of the first spring 22, the U-shaped frame 21 will be driven to move to the right and reset. Under the elastic force of the second spring 26, the magnet block 28 will be driven to move upward and reset, returning to the initial state, waiting for the next logistics package to move to the lower side of the U-shaped frame 21 for scanning and identification; the logistics package scanned by the scanner 211 continues to be conveyed to the left, and the scanner 211 transmits the information of the logistics package to the control center. The control center will control the sorting component to sort the logistics package and put it into the corresponding position;

[0033] A push switch is provided on the lower side of the movable slot 24 and is electrically connected to the scanner 211. Thus, when the magnet block 28 moves downward and contacts the iron block 29, the slider 25 moves downward within the movable slot 24. The slider 25 pushes the push switch within the movable slot 24, automatically turning on the scanner 211, eliminating the need for the scanner 211 to remain open for an extended period of time.

[0034] In the present invention, when the logistics package moves to the lower side of the U-shaped frame, the U-shaped frame will automatically follow the logistics package for a distance. During this process, the scanner scans and identifies the barcode on the upper side of the logistics package. The scanner will be relatively stationary with the logistics package, and the logistics package information can be obtained more accurately without any unrecognized situation.

[0035] The sorting component includes a pushing cylinder 3 fixed on the front side of the frame 1, the output shaft of the pushing cylinder 3 is connected to the pushing plate 31, and the rear side of the frame 1 is installed with a feeding guide rail 32 that matches the position of the pushing plate 31; in this way, after the logistics package information is identified, when the logistics package moves to the corresponding position of the pushing plate 31, the pushing cylinder 3 is started to drive the pushing plate 31 to move toward the logistics package, and the logistics package is pushed into the feeding guide rail 32, thereby realizing automatic sorting of the logistics package.

[0036] The conveyor belt 11 is pasted with an identification frame 111 corresponding to the position of the iron block 29; the logistics package only needs to be placed inside the identification frame 111, so that when the logistics package is on the lower side of the U-shaped frame 21, it can be automatically followed and scanned.

[0037] The upper ends of the two sliders 25 are connected to a slide bar 4, and the upper ends of the two slide bars 4 slide through the U-shaped frame 21 and are connected to a pressure plate 41. The U-shaped frame 21 is connected to an elastic air bag 42 located on the lower side of the pressure plate 41. The elastic air bag 42 is connected to an air outlet pipe 43. A one-way air outlet valve is provided in the air outlet pipe 43. The U-shaped frame 21 is installed with an air jet pipe 44 located outside the scanner 211. The air jet pipe 44 is provided with a plurality of nozzles. The elastic air bag 42 is provided with an air inlet pipe 45. A one-way air inlet valve is provided in the air inlet pipe 45. When the magnet block 28 moves downward and is adsorbed by the iron block 29, the slider 2 5 will drive the slide bar 4 to move downward synchronously, squeezing the elastic airbag 42 through the pressure plate 41, pushing the air inside the elastic airbag 42 into the air injection pipe 44 through the air outlet pipe 43, and finally spraying it from the nozzles of the air injection pipe 44 to the surface of the scanner 211, blowing off the dust attached to the surface of the scanner 211, and preventing the scanner 211 from being attached to impurities and affecting information recognition. After the magnet block 28 and the iron block 29 are separated, the pressure plate 41 will move upward to reset, and the elastic airbag 42 can be restored by its own elasticity, and the outside air is drawn into the interior through the air inlet pipe 45.

[0038] The air jet pipe 44 is annular; the annular air jet pipe 44 is arranged outside the scanner 211, and the scanner 211 is cleaned more comprehensively.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] like Figure 5-8 As shown, as an improvement of the previous embodiment, strip rods 5 are fixed on both sides of the pressure plate 41. The lower ends of the two strip rods 5 slide through the U-shaped frame 21 and are rotatably equipped with circular seats 51. One of the circular seats 51 is provided with a rotating assembly. The lower ends of the two circular seats 51 are connected to elastic telescopic rods 52. The lower ends of the two elastic telescopic rods 52 are rotatably equipped with cleaning rollers 53.

[0041] The rotating assembly includes a gear 511 fixed to a circular seat 51, and a rack 512 matching the gear 511 is fixed to the U-shaped frame 21. The rack 512 is located on the lower side of the gear 511;

[0042] The elastic telescopic rod 52 includes a sleeve 521 and a movable rod 522. The sleeve 521 is fixedly connected to the circular seat 51. The movable rod 522 is slidably assembled in the sleeve 521. The cleaning roller 53 is rotatably assembled on the lower side of the movable rod 522. A third spring 523 is provided between the upper end of the movable rod 522 and the sleeve 521.

[0043] In the initial state, the cleaning roller 53 is located below the U-shaped frame 21, and the gear 511 is located above the rack 512;

[0044] When the package moves to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 21, the cleaning roller 53 is at the upper side of the package. At this time, the iron block 29 on the conveyor belt 11 is aligned with the magnet block 28, and the magnet block 28 moves downward and is attracted by the iron block 29. At this time, the pressure plate 41 will drive the bar rod 5 to move downward, that is, the cleaning roller 53 will first move downward a short distance and abut against the upper side of the package. The movable rod 522 is squeezed and moves upward, causing the third spring 523 to be compressed, and the bar rod 5 continues to move downward. The rack 511 will gradually engage with the rack 512, driving the circular seat 51 to rotate. Even if the cleaning roller 53 flips to the right, during the flipping process, the cleaning roller 53 is pushed by the elastic force of the third spring 523 to always contact the upper surface of the package, thereby cleaning the upper side of the package, avoiding impurities adhering to the bar code of the package and affecting the recognition, and the cleaning roller 53 rotates to the right side of the U-shaped frame 21 without affecting the normal recognition of the scanner 211.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
