Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing sorting technology, and in particular to an automatic clothing sorting gantry system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the general process in laundry factories is as follows: receiving customer laundry orders - scanning and registering clothes - washing and drying - sorting and packaging - placing clothes on multiple non-powered racks (i.e., sorting racks) - waiting for sorting - manual sorting only after all clothes from the same customer's order have been washed. Since thousands of clothes are washed every day, each customer's clothes may have different washing and drying times, so all the clothes from all customers' clothes are mixed together. Only after all the clothes from the same order have been washed can the order be manually sorted. At this time, the clothes from the same order are hanging on different non-powered racks, and each rack has a lot of clothes hanging on it, making it very inconvenient and time-consuming for manual searching. Manual sorting is extremely inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic clothing sorting gantry system. A second scanner can scan the hangers that enter the corresponding sorting bar, thereby recording the clothing information of the clothing entering the sorting bar, so that the subsequent gripping mechanism can directly enter the sorting bar for gripping.
[0004] The gripping mechanism can scan and grab the hangers on the sorting bar. The grabbed hangers and clothes can be transported to the output device through the gantry system, thereby automatically completing the rapid sorting of clothes and solving the problem of the extremely low efficiency of manual sorting.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] An automated garment sorting truss system includes a truss system and multiple sorting channels linearly and evenly distributed in the X direction. The truss system is equipped with a gripping mechanism that can move along the X-axis and Y-axis. The gripping mechanism includes a first scanner and a pair of lifting and rotating clamps. The first scanner is electrically connected to a controller.
[0007] The sorting channel includes a sorting bar arranged in the Y direction, with the front end of the sorting bar connected to a feeding bar;
[0008] Each sorting bar has several sorting racks for hanging clothes, and the sorting racks are equipped with a gripping part and a QR code;
[0009] Output devices are located at the rear of multiple sorting channels.
[0010] The above technical solution involves hanging clean and dried clothes on hangers and recording the information of the clothes under the QR code on the hanger. The clothes are then hung on a circular feeding channel, which includes multiple hanging parts with multiple grooves formed on them. The hanger is hung in one of the grooves, and the multiple hanging parts are fixed to a conveying device that can be conveyed in a circular manner, such as a rack and pinion. Since the extension length of the feeding rods increases or decreases sequentially, when the hanger on the groove touches the corresponding feeding rod and is blocked by the feeding rod, the hanger can detach from the groove and slide down to the corresponding feeding rod. Then, the hanger and clothes fall down along the feeding rod to the corresponding sorting rod.
[0011] When sorting is required, the truss system moves the gripping mechanism above the sorting bar and quickly scans the QR code on the hanger on the sorting bar using the first scanner. When the information of the garment to be retrieved is scanned, the gripping mechanism stops above the hanger, the clamp moves down to clamp the gripping part of the hanger, and then the clamp moves up a distance to detach the hanger from the sorting bar. Then the truss system moves the garment away from all the garments on the sorting bar and then moves the garment to the conveyor.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the truss system includes a truss and a movable frame, the two ends of the movable frame are slidably connected to two first guide rails arranged in the X direction by a first slider; a first servo motor is fixed to one end of the movable frame, the first servo motor is connected to a first gear, a reducer is provided between the first servo motor and the first gear, the first gear meshes with a first rack arranged parallel to the first guide rail, and the first rack and a pair of first guide rails are fixed on the truss;
[0013] The movable frame is fixed with a pair of second guide rails and a second rack arranged in the Y direction; the gripping mechanism includes a movable base plate, a second servo motor fixed on the movable base plate, and multiple pairs of sliders. The multiple pairs of sliders are slidably connected to the corresponding second guide rails. The second servo motor is connected to a second gear, and a gearbox is provided between the second servo motor and the second gear. The second gear meshes with the second rack. The first servo motor and the second servo motor are electrically connected to a controller.
[0014] Through the above technical solution, the rotation of the first servo motor drives the rotation of the first gear. Since the first rack is stationary, the first gear reacts with the rotation of the first servo motor, and the first servo motor drives the moving frame to move along the X direction. The rotation of the second servo motor drives the rotation of the second gear. Since the second rack is stationary, the second gear reacts with the substrate, driving the substrate to move along the Y direction, thereby realizing the movement of the gripping mechanism in the X and Y directions. The first servo motor can accurately move the moving frame to the corresponding sorting bar.
[0015] The invention is further configured such that: the gripping mechanism includes a support fixed on the movable base plate, a telescopic cylinder is fixed on the support, a lifting block is connected to the telescopic cylinder, a rotary cylinder is fixed on the lifting block, a finger cylinder is fixed on the rotating disk of the rotary cylinder, and two clamping plates are respectively fixed on the two grippers of the finger cylinder. The telescopic cylinder can be a servo electric cylinder, and corresponding solenoid valves are provided on the inlet and outlet air pipes of the telescopic cylinder and the rotary cylinder. The solenoid valves are used to control the air inlet and outlet, and the controller controls the telescopic cylinder, the rotary cylinder, and the finger cylinder. The first scanner is fixedly connected to the movable base plate through a scanner bracket.
[0016] Through the above technical solution, the telescopic cylinder can drive the lifting block to move up or down, the lifting block drives the rotary cylinder to move up and down, the rotary cylinder can drive the finger cylinder to rotate, and the finger cylinder can drive the two clamping plates to move away from each other or closer to each other, thereby realizing the lifting, rotation and clamping of the two clamping plates, thus completing the clamping, lifting and rotating of the clothes hanger.
[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: the sorting rack includes a hook part, a frame part, and a spacer protrusion; the clamping part is fixedly connected to the spacer protrusion via an "L"-shaped support plate; the spacer protrusion is fixedly connected to the hook part; the clamping part, hook part, frame part, spacer protrusion, and "L"-shaped support plate are integrally formed; the clamping part is positioned higher than the hook part.
[0018] The gripping part includes an upper plane, two side straight surfaces disposed at both ends of the upper plane, and an inner inclined surface disposed at the lower end of the side straight surfaces; the QR code is disposed on the upper plane;
[0019] The clamping plate includes a straight plate and an inner inclined plate.
[0020] The above technical solution allows the clamping plate to hold the gripping part more stably by setting the inner inclined surface, which can effectively prevent it from sliding down; the gripping part being set higher than the hook part can prevent the clamping plate from interfering with the hook part when gripping the gripping part; the spacer protrusion can make two adjacent hangers have a certain distance, thereby preventing the clothes on the hangers from sticking together.
[0021] The present invention is further configured such that: a spiral protrusion or a spiral groove is formed on the outer wall of the sorting rod;
[0022] The sorting rod has its two ends inserted and fixed to corresponding support rods. The support rods are rotatably connected to the hinge seat via bearings. A reduction gear is fixed to one of the support rods, and the reduction gear meshes with a drive gear, which is fixed to the motor shaft of the fourth motor. The fourth motor is fixed inside the hinge seat, which is fixed to the sorting bracket. The feed rod is fixedly connected to the hinge seat via a support rod, and the controller is attached to the fourth motor.
[0023] Through the above technical solution, the fourth motor drives the drive gear to rotate, the drive gear drives the support rod to rotate through the reduction gear, the support rod drives the sorting rod to rotate, and the sorting rod can drive the sorting hangers hanging on the sorting rod to move in the same direction through the spiral protrusion or spiral groove, so that the hangers maintain a specific distance, which can effectively increase the number of clothes hanging on the sorting rod.
[0024] When the gripping mechanism is about to grab the corresponding sorting hanger, the corresponding fourth motor of the sorting rod stops rotating, making it easier for the clamping plate to grip the gripping part.
[0025] The present invention is further configured such that: the lower end of the sorting rod is provided with a plurality of branch pipes, and the upper end of the branch pipes is formed with an arc-shaped limiting groove coaxially arranged with the sorting rod;
[0026] The branch pipe contains a steel ball, a steel ball seat, a compression spring, and a support block, with the support block fixed inside the branch pipe. The compression spring is clamped between the support block and the steel ball seat. The steel ball seat has a ball-and-socket hole formed on it, and the steel ball is placed inside the ball-and-socket hole with its upper end pressing against the lower outer wall of the sorting rod. The branch pipe is fixedly connected to the sorting bracket.
[0027] Through the above technical solution, the arc-shaped limiting groove of the branch pipe can restrict the rotation position of the sorting rod, while the steel ball provides a certain supporting force for the sorting rod to prevent the middle of the sorting rod from sagging.
[0028] The invention is further configured such that a second scanner is provided above the front end of each sorting bar. The second scanner is fixed to the truss by a scanner bracket. The first and second scanners can be barcode scanners or scanning cameras, and the second scanner is electrically connected to the controller.
[0029] Through the above technical solution, the second scanner can scan the QR code of the clothes hanger that enters the sorting bar, thereby recording the information of all the clothes that enter the sorting bar. This makes it convenient for the truss system to directly move the gripping mechanism to the sorting bar for retrieval. By also recording the order in which the clothes enter, the gripping mechanism does not need to scan from the front end of the sorting bar every time, thereby further improving the sorting efficiency.
[0030] The present invention is further configured such that: the output device includes a waist-shaped bracket, a chain is provided inside the waist-shaped bracket, the two ends of the chain are tensioned on sprockets, one sprocket is rotatably connected to one end of the waist-shaped bracket, the other sprocket is connected to a third servo motor, the third servo motor is fixed to the other end of the waist-shaped bracket; the third servo motor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0031] Multiple linearly distributed hanging plates are fixed on the chain, and the hanging plates extend out of the waist-shaped bracket;
[0032] One end of the waist-shaped bracket is fixed with a double-rod cylinder. A push block in a "C" shape is fixed on the piston rod of the double-rod cylinder, and the opening of the push block faces forward. A blanking inclined rod is arranged on the front side of the push block, and a hanging rod is fixed at the lower end of the blanking inclined rod. The controller controls the double-rod cylinder.
[0033] Through the above technical solution, after the grasping mechanism grabs the sorting hanger and clothes, the truss system sends the sorting hanger and clothes to a corresponding hanging plate. The clamping plate releases the clamping part, and the hook part of the sorting hanger is hung on the hanging plate. Then, the third servo motor starts to drive the chain for conveying. The chain conveys the hanging plate to the position of the push block. When it is conveyed to the position of the push block, the double-rod cylinder drives the push block to move forward. The push block inserts into the clamping part and pushes the clamping part to move forward. The sorting hanger moves forward and detaches from the hanging plate. The hook part of the sorting hanger falls onto the blanking inclined rod and then moves along the blanking inclined rod towards the hanging rod. The staff only needs to pick up the corresponding clothes on the hanging rod, thus greatly reducing the labor intensity of the workers.
[0034] The present invention is further arranged as follows: A stabilizing block is fixed at the outer end of the hanging plate, and the two ends of the stabilizing block are high and the middle is low.
[0035] The stabilizing block can effectively prevent the sorting hanger from falling off the hanging plate during output.
[0036] The outstanding effect of the present invention is:
[0037] Compared with the prior art, through the second scanner, the clothes hanger entering the corresponding sorting rod can be scanned, so as to record the clothes information entering the sorting rod, which is convenient for the later grasping mechanism to directly enter the sorting rod for grasping.
[0038] Through the grasping mechanism, the clothes hanger on the sorting rod can be scanned and grasped. Through the truss system, the grasped clothes hanger and clothes can be conveyed to the output device, thus automatically completing the rapid sorting work of clothes, and solving the problem of extremely low efficiency of manual sorting in the prior art.

[0062] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0063] The following is for reference Figures 1 to 12 The present invention will be described as follows:
[0064] An automatic garment sorting truss system includes a truss system 10 and multiple sorting channels 20 linearly and evenly distributed in the X direction. The truss system 10 is provided with a gripping mechanism 30 that can move along the X-axis and Y-axis. The gripping mechanism 30 includes a first scanner 301 and a pair of lifting and rotating clamps 302. The first scanner is electrically connected to a controller.
[0065] The sorting channel 20 includes a sorting rod 201 arranged in the Y direction, and the front end of the sorting rod 201 is connected to the feeding rod 202;
[0066] Each sorting bar 201 is equipped with several sorting racks 40 for hanging clothes, and each sorting rack 40 is provided with a clamping part 401 and a QR code 402.
[0067] Output devices 50 are provided on the rear side of multiple sorting channels 20.
[0068] Hang the washed and dried clothes on the hanger, and record the garment information under the QR code on the hanger. Then hang the clothes on the circular feed channel, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 12 As shown, it includes multiple hooking parts 90, each hooking part 90 having multiple grooves 91 formed thereon. The hanger is hooked into one of the grooves, and the multiple hooking parts 90 are fixed to a conveying device that can be conveyed in a ring, such as a rack and pinion. Since the extension length of the feed rod increases or decreases sequentially, when the hanger on the groove touches the corresponding feed rod and is blocked by the feed rod, the hanger can detach from the groove and slide down to the corresponding feed rod. Then the hanger and the clothes fall down along the feed rod to the corresponding sorting rod.
[0069] When sorting is required, the truss system moves the gripping mechanism above the sorting bar and quickly scans the QR code on the hanger on the sorting bar using the first scanner. When the information of the garment to be retrieved is scanned, the gripping mechanism stops above the hanger, the clamp moves down to clamp the gripping part of the hanger, and then the clamp moves up a distance to detach the hanger from the sorting bar. Then the truss system moves the garment away from all the garments on the sorting bar and then moves the garment to the conveyor.
[0070] The truss system 10 includes a truss 101 and a movable frame 102. The two ends of the movable frame 102 are slidably connected to two first guide rails 104 arranged in the X direction via first sliders 103. A first servo motor 105 is fixed to one end of the movable frame 102. The first servo motor 105 is connected to a first gear 106. A reducer is provided between the first servo motor and the first gear. The first gear 106 meshes with a first rack 107 arranged parallel to the first guide rails 104. The first rack 107 and a pair of first guide rails 104 are fixed on the truss 101.
[0071] The movable frame 102 is fixed with a pair of second guide rails 108 and a second rack 109 arranged in the Y direction. The gripping mechanism 30 includes a movable base plate 310, a second servo motor 311 fixed on the movable base plate 310, and multiple pairs of sliders 303. The multiple pairs of sliders 303 are slidably connected to the corresponding second guide rails 108. The second servo motor 311 is connected to a second gear 304. A gearbox is provided between the second servo motor and the second gear. The second gear 304 meshes with the second rack 109. The first servo motor and the second servo motor are electrically connected to a controller.
[0072] The rotation of the first servo motor drives the first gear to rotate. Since the first rack is stationary, the first gear reacts with the rotation of the first servo motor, which in turn drives the moving frame to move along the X-axis. The rotation of the second servo motor drives the second gear to rotate. Since the second rack is stationary, the second gear reacts with the substrate, which in turn drives the substrate to move along the Y-axis, thereby realizing the movement of the gripping mechanism in the X and Y directions. The first servo motor can be used to move the moving frame to the corresponding sorting bar.
[0073] The gripping mechanism 30 further includes a support 305 fixed on the movable base plate 310. A telescopic cylinder 306 is fixed on the support 305. The telescopic cylinder 306 is connected to a lifting block 307. A rotary cylinder 308 is fixed on the lifting block 307. A finger cylinder 309 is fixed on the rotating disk of the rotary cylinder 308. Two clamping plates 302 are respectively fixed on the two grippers of the finger cylinder 309. The telescopic cylinder can be a servo electric cylinder. The inlet and outlet pipes of the telescopic cylinder and the rotary cylinder are equipped with corresponding solenoid valves. The solenoid valves are used to control the air intake and exhaust. The controller controls the telescopic cylinder, the rotary cylinder, and the finger cylinder. The first scanner is fixedly connected to the movable base plate through a scanner bracket.
[0074] The telescopic cylinder can drive the lifting block to move up or down, the lifting block drives the rotary cylinder to move up and down, the rotary cylinder can drive the finger cylinder to rotate, and the finger cylinder can drive the two clamping plates to move away from each other or closer to each other, thereby realizing the lifting, rotation and clamping of the two clamping plates, thus completing the clamping, lifting and rotating of the clothes hanger.
[0075] The sorting rack 40 also includes a hook portion 403, a frame portion 404, and a spacer protrusion 406. The clamping portion 401 is fixedly connected to the spacer protrusion 406 via an "L"-shaped support plate 405, and the spacer protrusion 406 is fixedly connected to the hook portion 403. The clamping portion 401, hook portion 403, frame portion 404, spacer protrusion 406, and "L"-shaped support plate 405 are integrally formed. The clamping portion 401 is positioned higher than the hook portion 403.
[0076] The clamping part 401 includes an upper plane 4011, two side straight surfaces 4012 disposed at both ends of the upper plane 4011, and an inner inclined surface 4013 disposed at the lower end of the side straight surfaces 4012; the QR code 402 is disposed on the upper plane 4011;
[0077] The clamping plate 302 includes a straight plate 3021 and an inner inclined plate 3022.
[0078] The inner bevel allows the clamping plate to hold the gripper more stably, effectively preventing it from slipping down. The gripper being higher than the hook prevents interference between the clamping plate and the hook when gripping the gripper. The spacer protrusions allow for a certain distance between adjacent hangers, preventing clothes on the hangers from sticking together.
[0079] The outer wall of the sorting rod 201 is formed with spiral protrusions or spiral grooves 2011;
[0080] The two ends of the sorting rod 201 are inserted and fixed to the corresponding support rods 203. The support rods 203 are rotatably connected to the hinge seat 204 via bearings. A reduction gear 205 is fixed on one of the support rods 203, and the reduction gear 205 meshes with a drive gear 206. The drive gear 206 is fixed to the motor shaft of the fourth motor 207. The fourth motor is fixed inside the hinge seat, which is fixed to the sorting bracket 208. The feed rod 202 is fixedly connected to the hinge seat via a support rod 215. The controller is attached to the fourth motor.
[0081] The fourth motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear drives the support rod to rotate through the reduction gear. The support rod drives the sorting rod to rotate. The sorting rod can drive the sorting hangers hanging on the sorting rod to move in the same direction through the spiral protrusion or spiral groove, so that the hangers maintain a specific distance and can effectively increase the number of clothes hanging on the sorting rod.
[0082] When the gripping mechanism is about to grab the corresponding sorting hanger, the corresponding fourth motor of the sorting rod stops rotating, making it easier for the clamping plate to grip the gripping part.
[0083] The lower end of the sorting rod 201 is provided with multiple branch pipes 209, and the upper end of the branch pipes 209 is formed with an arc-shaped limiting groove 2091 coaxially arranged with the sorting rod 201.
[0084] The branch pipe 209 is fitted with a steel ball 210, a steel ball seat 211, a compression spring 212, and a support block 213, with the support block 213 fixed inside the branch pipe 209. The compression spring 212 is clamped between the support block 213 and the steel ball seat 211. The steel ball seat 211 has a ball socket 2111 formed on it, and the steel ball 210 is placed inside the ball socket 2111 with its upper end pressing against the lower outer wall of the sorting rod 201. The branch pipe 209 is fixedly connected to the sorting bracket.
[0085] The arc-shaped limiting groove of the branch pipe can restrict the rotation position of the sorting rod, while the steel ball provides a certain supporting force for the sorting rod to prevent the middle of the sorting rod from sagging.
[0086] A second scanner 214 is provided above the front end of each sorting bar 201. The second scanner 214 is fixed to the truss by a scanner bracket. The first scanner and the second scanner can be either barcode scanners or scanning cameras. The second scanner is electrically connected to the controller.
[0087] The second scanner can scan the QR codes of the hangers that enter the sorting bar, thereby recording the information of all the clothing that enters the sorting bar. This makes it convenient for the gantry system to directly move the gripping mechanism onto the sorting bar for retrieval. By also recording the order in which the clothing enters, the gripping mechanism does not need to scan from the front of the sorting bar every time, thereby further improving sorting efficiency.
[0088] The output device 50 includes a kidney-shaped bracket 501. A chain is provided inside the kidney-shaped bracket 501. Both ends of the chain are tensioned on sprockets. One sprocket is rotatably connected to one end of the kidney-shaped bracket 501, and the other sprocket is connected to a third servo motor. The third servo motor is fixed to the other end of the kidney-shaped bracket 501; the third servo motor is electrically connected to the controller;
[0089] A plurality of linearly evenly distributed hanging plates 502 are fixed on the chain, and the hanging plates 502 extend outside the kidney-shaped bracket 501;
[0090] A double-rod cylinder 503 is fixed to one end of the kidney-shaped bracket 501. A push block 504 in a "C" shape is fixed on the piston rod of the double-rod cylinder 503, and the opening of the push block 504 faces forward; a blanking inclined rod 505 is provided on the front side of the push block 504, and a hanging rod 506 is fixed to the lower end of the blanking inclined rod 505. The controller controls the double-rod cylinder.
[0091] After the grasping mechanism grabs the sorting hanger and the clothes, the truss system sends the sorting hanger and the clothes to a corresponding hanging plate. The clamping plate releases the clamping part, and the hook part of the sorting hanger is hung on the hanging plate. Then the third servo motor starts to drive the chain for conveying. The chain conveys the hanging plate towards the push block. When it is conveyed to the push block, the double-rod cylinder drives the push block to move forward. The push block is inserted into the clamping part and pushes the clamping part to move forward. The sorting hanger moves forward and disengages from the hanging plate. The hook part of the sorting hanger falls onto the blanking inclined rod and then moves towards the hanging rod along the blanking inclined rod. The staff only needs to pick up the corresponding clothes on the hanging rod, thus greatly reducing the labor intensity of the workers.
[0092] A stabilizing block 507 is fixed to the outer end of the hanging plate 502, and both ends of the stabilizing block 507 are high and the middle is low.
[0093] The stabilizing block can effectively prevent the sorting hanger from falling off the hanging plate during output.
[0094] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
