Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sorting and transfer, specifically an e-commerce parcel sorting and transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] E-commerce generally refers to a new business operation model in which buyers and sellers conduct various commercial activities without meeting face-to-face in the open network environment of the Internet, based on client / server applications, enabling consumers to shop online, merchants to trade online and make online electronic payments, as well as various business activities, transaction activities, financial activities and related comprehensive service activities.
[0003] With the development of the e-commerce industry in recent years, e-commerce parcel delivery has become a major channel for people to shop. Before parcels reach consumers, they often need to go through multiple distribution centers for sorting and transfer. However, most of the existing distribution centers still use manual sorting, which is not only inefficient, but also often results in parcels being thrown and damaged due to the large number of parcels and the quality of the staff. This causes direct economic losses to all parties and damages the reputation of e-commerce and express delivery companies, which is not conducive to the development of the industry.
[0004] Existing equipment typically does not distinguish between flat-packed parcels and other express deliveries. Flat-packed parcels are relatively soft, and their delivery information usually only appears on two flat surfaces. They are difficult to control and flip to facilitate reading their address information, and they are also easily squeezed. Therefore, they should be treated differently. This leads to the proposal of an e-commerce parcel sorting and transfer device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

The unidentified express will be continuously transported to the end by the transport belt 4 502 for manual processing.
[0074] An auxiliary feeding mechanism 700 is installed above the first belt assembly 200. The auxiliary feeding mechanism 700 includes an auxiliary wheel 701, a connecting rod 702, friction protrusions 703, an auxiliary ball 704, and an elastic strip 705. The auxiliary wheel 701 is screwed to the inner side of the connecting rod 702. The auxiliary wheel 701 is connected to a servo motor installed in the base 101. Several connecting rods 702 are evenly arranged on the outer side of the auxiliary wheel 701. The end of the connecting rod 702 away from the auxiliary wheel 701 is connected to the elastic strip 705. The end of the elastic strip 705 away from the connecting rod 702 is provided with an auxiliary ball 704. Several friction protrusions 703 are provided on one side of the elastic strip 705.
[0075] The elastic strip 705 helps to move heavy bagged parcels and boxed express packages up to the diversion assembly 900 and the conveyor belt 2 307.
[0076] A flipping mechanism 800 is installed above the fourth belt assembly 500. The flipping mechanism 800 is installed at an angle and includes a servo cylinder 801, a baffle 802, a folding groove 803, a lever 805, an insert plate 806, a transparent plate 807, a receiving cavity 808, and a camera 809. The movable end of the servo cylinder 801 is provided with a baffle 802, and a folding groove 803 is opened on one side of the baffle 802. The bottom of the folding groove 803... The end is rotatably connected to a lever 805. The bottom end of the baffle 802 is provided with an insert plate 806. The insert plate 806 is wedge-shaped. The side of the insert plate 806 facing the lever 805 has a receiving cavity 808. The receiving cavity 808 has a transparent plate 807 at the opening of the insert plate 806. The transparent plate 807 is made of tempered glass. The inside of the receiving cavity 808 is provided with a camera 809. The lever 805 is connected to a servo motor 6 installed in the baffle 802.
[0077] Servo cylinder 801 controls baffle 802 and insert plate 806 to move downwards, blocking heavy bagged packages and boxed express parcels. Camera 809 scans and identifies information on the outer surface of the express parcel. Servo motor 6 drives lever 805 to swing, causing lever 805 to leave insert plate 806. Lever 805 contacts the bagged package or boxed express parcel, causing it to flip 90 degrees. During this process, the bottom of the boxed express parcel becomes vertical. Camera 809 scans and identifies information on the outer surface of the express parcel again, and then controls baffle 802 to move upwards via servo cylinder 801, removing the obstruction to the express parcel.
[0078] The specific implementation method is as follows: Pulley 201 is driven by servo motor 1, and pulley 201 drives conveyor belt 203 to rotate. Servo motor 5 drives belt 601 to rotate conveyor belt 602, placing express packages, including flat bagged packages, heavy bagged packages, and boxed express packages, onto the first belt assembly 200. Conveyor belt 203 carries the express packages towards the diversion assembly 900. The edges of flat bagged packages will enter the gap between roller 902 and the arc-shaped protrusion 204 or conveyor belt 203. As the flat bagged packages move... The continuous movement causes the roller 902 to be squeezed and lifted until the flat bagged package bends under the diversion component 900 and arrives on the conveyor belt 602. Then, the upper and lower surfaces of the flat bagged package are scanned by the camera 104 and the camera 106. Then, the pusher cylinder 401 controls the pusher plate 402 to push the bagged package corresponding to the information through the connecting table 109 and the discharge port 107 onto the guide plate 110 and remove it from the bracket 102, thereby realizing sorting. The express delivery that is not successfully identified will be continuously transported to the end by the conveyor belt 602 for manual processing.
[0079] In order for camera 4 106 to be able to successfully identify the information on the lower surface of the flat bag package without being blocked by the mesh belt 602-1, the conveyor belt 5 602 will intermittently stop or reverse, so that the relative position of the flat bag package and the mesh belt 602-1 changes.
[0080] Servo motor 7 drives auxiliary wheel 701 to rotate, and auxiliary wheel 701 drives connecting rod 702 and elastic strip 705 to rotate. Servo motor 3 drives pulley 2 301 to rotate, and pulley 2 301 drives conveyor belt 2 303 and ball 1 302 to rotate. Servo motor 2 drives pulley 2 306 to rotate, and pulley 2 306 drives conveyor belt 2 307 and boss 2 309 to rotate. Servo motor 4 drives pulley 4 501 to rotate, and pulley 4 501 drives conveyor belt 4 502 to rotate.
[0081] The elastic strip 705 can assist the heavy bagged parcels and boxed express packages to be moved upward onto the diversion component 900 and the second conveyor belt 307. Then, through the cooperation of the boss 309 on the second conveyor belt 307 and the ball 302 on the second conveyor belt 303, the express package is continuously conveyed upward until it reaches the fourth belt component 500. The fourth conveyor belt 502 carries the heavy bagged parcels and boxed express packages. Cameras 103, 104, and 105 scan and identify information on the outer periphery of the express package.
[0082] When lever 805 is in a vertical position, servo cylinder 801 controls baffle 802 and insert plate 806 to move downwards, blocking heavy bagged packages and boxed express deliveries. Camera 809 scans and identifies information on the outer periphery of the express delivery. Servo motor 6 drives lever 805 to swing, causing lever 805 to leave insert plate 806. Lever 805 contacts the bagged package or boxed express delivery, causing the bagged package or boxed express delivery to flip 90 degrees. During this process, the bottom of the boxed express delivery becomes vertical, exposing information on the bottom of the boxed express delivery. Camera 809 scans and identifies information on the outer periphery of the express delivery again, and then controls baffle 802 to move upwards via servo cylinder 801, removing the obstruction to the express delivery.
[0083] The express packages continue to run on the conveyor belt 402 and arrive at the corresponding positions of each sorting mechanism 400. Based on the scanning information of each camera, the pusher cylinder 401 controls the pusher plate 402 to push the bagged package corresponding to the information through the connecting table 109 and the throwing port 107 onto the guide plate 110 and remove it from the bracket 102, thereby realizing sorting. Express packages that are not successfully identified will be continuously transported to the end by the conveyor belt 402 for manual processing.
