Detailed Implementation

[0041] 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. The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0042] Please see Figures 1-6 This invention provides an automated sorting device for warehousing and logistics, comprising:

[0043] The guide frame 1 and the sorting assembly disposed on the guide frame 1, wherein the guide ramp on the guide frame 1 is inclined to the side of the sorting assembly;

[0044] The interception disinfection component is mounted on the guide frame 1 and includes a third support plate 12, a support cylinder 9, an interception plate 4, and spray holes 5. The third support plate 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the guide frame 1. The support cylinder 9 is rotatably mounted on the third support plate 12 via a second rotating shaft 38. The third support plate 12 is also provided with an intermittent component for controlling the rotation state of the second rotating shaft 38. The interception plate 4 is fixedly installed on the support cylinder 9, and four sets of interception plates 4 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the support cylinder 9. Each set of interception plates 4 is provided with spray holes 5. The support cylinder 9 is also provided with an infusion component for delivering disinfectant into the interception plate 4.

[0045] And an auxiliary component for rotating the package in the sterilization state, the auxiliary component being connected to the guide frame 1.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, during use, the conveyor belt transports the scanned packages one by one to the guide rack 1. The packages move towards the sorting component under their own gravity. The stopping plate 4 stops the moving packages in the disinfection area. The infusion component delivers disinfectant into the stopping plate 4 and sprays the disinfectant out with the spray nozzle 5. At the same time, the auxiliary component drives the packages to rotate, achieving comprehensive disinfection of the packages. The intermittent component controls the rotation state of the second rotating shaft 38 to intermittently lock the second rotating shaft 38, so that the disinfected packages can push the stopping plate 4 to rotate and move into the sorting component for automatic sorting. Then the conveyor belt continues to transport the next group of scanned packages to the guide rack 1, achieving continuous disinfection and sorting. Compared with the prior art, the present invention, through the coordinated setting of the stopping disinfection component and the auxiliary component, avoids the problem that most existing automatic sorting equipment in warehousing and logistics does not have a disinfection function. During the sorting process, manual spraying of disinfectant is required on the packages, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the workload of the staff.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1-5 The intermittent component includes:

[0048] The fourth support plate 15 is fixedly installed on the third support plate 12;

[0049] The card block 13 is fixedly installed on the second rotating shaft 38, and four sets of card slots are evenly opened on the card block 13.

[0050] Locking plate 14, which rotates on the fourth support plate 15, and the side of the locking plate 14 near the locking block 13 is provided with a hook;

[0051] An elastic rope 36 is used to press the locking plate 14 onto the locking block 13. One end of the elastic rope 36 is fixedly connected to the fourth support plate 15, and the other end of the elastic rope 36 is fixedly connected to the locking plate 14.

[0052] The first motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the fourth support plate 15, and a cam 26 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 16.

[0053] and the protrusion 25 fixedly installed on the locking plate 14;

[0054] The infusion assembly includes a liquid guiding column 11 and a conduit 10. The liquid guiding column 11 is rotatably installed inside the support cylinder 9, and two sets of connecting holes 28 are provided on the liquid guiding column 11. One end of the conduit 10 is fixedly connected to the liquid guiding column 11 and the conduit 10 is connected to the liquid guiding column 11. The other end of the conduit 10 is fixedly connected to an external disinfectant storage device. The support cylinder 9 is also provided with multiple sets of liquid guiding grooves 27. The stop plate 4 has a cavity for the spray hole 5 to communicate with the liquid guiding groove 27.

[0055] The conduit 10 is a rigid tube; the use of a rigid tube in the conduit 10 can fix the liquid guiding column 11 and prevent the liquid guiding column 11 from rotating with the support cylinder 9.

[0056] Each of the intercepting plates 4 is provided with spray holes 5 on both sides.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the protruding part of the cam 26 pushes against the protrusion 25, it can push the locking plate 14 to rotate on the fourth support plate 15, so that the hook of the locking plate 14 separates from the slot of the locking block 13. Under the action of gravity, the package will push the stop plate 4 to rotate. Under the tension of the elastic rope 36, the hook of the locking plate 14 will be locked into the next set of slots. At this time, the next package will move between the two sets of stop plates 4 to carry out the disinfection work of the next set of packages. By adjusting the rotation speed of the cam 26, the disinfection time can be controlled. Through the setting of the two sets of connecting holes 28, the flow state can be controlled, so that the stop plate 4 located in the disinfection area is connected to the liquid guiding column 11, thereby delivering the disinfectant into the stop plate 4 and spraying it out through the spray hole 5.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The auxiliary components include:

[0059] A second support plate 6 is fixedly installed on the third support plate 12, and a support frame 23 is also fixedly connected to the second support plate 6.

[0060] The lifting plate 30 is slidably mounted on the second support plate 6 via the telescopic cylinder 20.

[0061] A first rotating shaft 21 is rotatably mounted on a second support plate 6, and a rotating plate 7 is also fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft 21. The rotating plate 7 is provided with multiple sets of pressing strips 8.

[0062] The third motor 18 is mounted on the lifting plate 30 via the linkage plate 19, and the output shaft of the third motor 18 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 21; wherein the linkage plate 19 has an L-shaped structure, and the second support plate 6 has a through hole for the linkage plate 19 to pass through.

[0063] A lifting column 24 is slidably mounted on a support frame 23, and a rotating block 34 is rotatably connected to the lifting column 24; wherein the rotating block 34 can be connected by a damping shaft.

[0064] Support bars 35, multiple sets of which are fixedly installed on the rotating block 34, and through holes for the rotating block 34 and support bars 35 to pass through on the guide frame 1;

[0065] And the lifting assembly used to move the lifting column 24;

[0066] The lifting assembly includes:

[0067] A threaded rod 37, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the support frame 23, and the other end of which is threadedly connected to the lifting column 24.

[0068] Rack 22, which is fixedly connected to lifting plate 30 via connecting plate 31;

[0069] The drive shaft 33 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 23, and one end of the drive shaft 33 is fixedly mounted with a gear 32 that meshes with the rack 22. The other end of the drive shaft 33 is connected to the threaded rod 37 through the transmission component 29.

[0070] The support frame 23 has a U-shaped structure, the lifting column 24 has a rectangular structure, and the support frame 23 has a rectangular through hole that is slidably connected to the lifting column 24, which can prevent the lifting column 24 from rotating with the threaded rod 37.

[0071] In this embodiment, after the package moves to the disinfection area, the telescopic cylinder 20 will drive the lifting plate 30 to move to one side of the guide rack 1, and the connecting plate 31 will drive the rack 22 to move, so that the rack 22 drives the gear 32 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the transmission shaft 33 and the transmission component 29, the threaded rod 37 can be rotated. The transmission component 29 can be two sets of meshing helical gears 32. The rotation of the threaded rod 37 can drive the lifting column 24 to slide on the support frame 23, thereby driving the rotating block 34 and the support bar 35 to move upward. In conjunction with the downward moving rotating plate 7 and the pressing bar 8, the package can be clamped and lifted, so that the bottom of the package is separated from the guide rack 1. Through the cooperation of the third motor 18 and the first rotating shaft 21, the lifted package can be driven to rotate, so that the package can fully contact the disinfectant. Through the cooperation of the pressing bar 8 and the support bar 35, the contact area with the package can be reduced, so that the disinfectant can be fully sprayed onto the package.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 The sorting assembly includes a first support plate 2 and a sorting conveyor belt 3. The first support plate 2 is fixedly installed on the guide frame 1, and the sorting conveyor belt 3 is rotatably installed on the first support plate 2 by a second motor 17.

[0073] In this embodiment, the second motor 17 can adjust the conveying direction of the sorting conveyor belt 3 by driving the sorting conveyor belt 3 to rotate, thereby realizing the sorting function.

[0074] In summary, the working principle of this invention is as follows: During use, the conveyor belt transports the scanned packages one by one to the guide rack 1. Under the action of their own gravity, the packages move towards the sorting component. The stop plate 4 can stop the moving packages in the disinfection area. The infusion component delivers disinfectant into the stop plate 4 and sprays the disinfectant out with the spray nozzle 5. At the same time, the auxiliary component drives the packages to rotate, thereby achieving comprehensive disinfection of the packages. The intermittent component controls the rotation state of the second rotating shaft 38 to intermittently lock the second rotating shaft 38, so that the disinfected packages can push the stop plate 4 to rotate and move into the sorting component for automatic sorting. Then the conveyor belt continues to transport the next group of scanned packages to the guide rack 1, achieving continuous disinfection and sorting.
