Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics transportation equipment, and in particular to a logistics transportation device based on a bidirectional balance wheel structure and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the current logistics industry, the problem of one-way logistics transportation model is becoming increasingly prominent. This traditional transportation method often leads to low logistics efficiency because it only considers one-way flow from one location to another.

[0003] To address this issue, existing technologies attempt to achieve round-trip transport of goods by setting up two parallel transport lines. However, while this approach enables two-way transport, it also introduces new problems. First, two-way transport requires more space to accommodate two parallel transport lines, which is undoubtedly a waste of space in urban areas with limited land resources. Second, two-way transport requires more transport equipment and manpower, thereby increasing transportation costs.

[0004] Furthermore, in actual logistics operations, packages can easily become misaligned when passing through the balance wheel due to factors such as improper packaging or vibrations from machinery during transport. In these cases, packages can easily shift to either side of the balance wheel, causing delays and disruptions in the logistics process. However, currently available balance wheel devices only provide basic conveying functions and lack effective correction measures to address package misalignment. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Preferably, the structure of the guide centering unit is: comprising a guide rail arranged along the transport direction, the guide rail is driven by a guide motor, and a plurality of guide rollers are arranged in the running direction of the guide rail; the plurality of guide rollers are distributed in a bilaterally symmetrical "V" shape.

[0012] Preferably, the structure of the information acquisition and transmission unit is as follows: it includes a camera mounting frame arranged around the track along the transportation direction, and information acquisition cameras are matched and arranged on the camera mounting frame in the front, back, left, right, top and bottom surfaces of the package running direction; the information acquisition camera photographs and collects the package information, calculates and obtains the grid information and uploads it to the host computer.

[0013] Preferably, the structure of the transition unit is: it includes an input end transition curved rail connected to the discharge end of the information acquisition and transmission unit, the discharge end of the input end transition curved rail is connected to the feed end of the transition flat rail, the discharge end of the transition flat rail is connected to the feed end of the output end transition curved rail, and the discharge end of the output end transition curved rail is transported to the sorting balance wheel unit through the track.

[0014] Preferably, the structure of the sorting balance wheel unit is as follows: it includes a balance wheel frame, a base support leg is installed at the bottom of the balance wheel frame, and a conveying component is arranged on the top of the balance wheel frame; the structure of the conveying component is as follows: it includes a transport module for changing the direction of conveying packages, and a correction module is arranged on both sides of the transport module.

[0016] A working method of a logistics transportation device based on a bidirectional balance wheel structure comprises the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: The stacked packages are fed into the stack separation unit from the input end and sequentially pass through the inclined surfaces of the first stack separation plate, the second stack separation plate, and the third stack separation plate to be separated;

[0018] Step 2: After the packages emerge from the stacking separation unit, they are conveyed by a conveyor belt into the single-piece separation unit. The visual inspection camera in the single-piece separation unit detects the position of the packages conveyed onto the separation belt unit and controls the separation belt unit based on the detected package position information. The separation belt unit then discharges the input packages in a single file at a fixed interval toward the discharge end.

[0019] Step 3: Packages are transported out of the single-piece separation unit in a single file at a fixed interval and enter the centering guide unit. When passing through the guide rollers arranged symmetrically on both sides of the centering guide unit, the packages are guided out in the center according to the "V" symmetrical arrangement of the guide rollers on both sides.

[0020] Step 4: After passing through the centering unit, the package is guided to the center and then directed to the information collection and transmission unit. The information collection and transmission unit uses the information collection camera to collect the barcode information of the package and uploads it to the host computer. The host computer calculates the corresponding slot position of the package.

[0021] Step 5: The package is transmitted from the information collection and transmission unit, and after passing through the transition unit, it enters the sorting balance wheel unit along the track transportation direction. At the entrance end of the sorting balance wheel unit, the package triggers the reflective photoelectric, and the sorting balance wheel unit is prompted to enter the package;

[0022] Step 6: The sorting wheel unit receives the corresponding slot position of the package obtained by the upper computer in step 4. When the package is in place, the servo motor of the sorting wheel unit starts to drive the steering rod. At this time, the steering mounting base fixedly connected to the steering rod drives the electric roller on its top to turn to the corresponding slot, and the package enters the slot through the slide rail on one side of the slot.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] The device of the present invention has a reasonable structure and an efficient overall transportation process. It sequentially separates stacked items, separates individual items, guides and centers the items, collects information, determines the slot information, and turns the sorting wheel. Finally, the parcel is delivered to the corresponding slot. The parcel transportation process is efficient, and no manual intervention is required in the whole process to organize the parcels. The degree of automation is high.

[0025] The present invention also has the following advantages:

[0026] (1) The present invention sets a correction module on both sides of the transport module of the sorting balance wheel. The top height of the universal ball in the correction module is higher than the arc top height of the electric roller in the transport module. When the transport direction of the package is deviated due to problems such as irregular packaging or machine vibration during transportation, one side of the package will be against the top of the universal ball. Since the top height of the universal ball is higher than the arc top height of the electric roller in the transport module, the center of gravity of the package will be slightly biased toward the transport module. At this time, the package will be driven back to the transport direction by the rotation of the universal ball;

[0027] (2) The driver of the sorting balance wheel of the present invention is a bidirectional driver and is electrically connected to the PLC. The PLC sends an electrical signal to the driver to realize the forward or reverse rotation of the driver. When individual packages transported to the end of the line fail to be sorted during transportation, reverse sorting can be adopted, which reduces the time of manual sorting.

[0060] like Figure 12 As shown, the working method of the logistics transportation device based on the bidirectional balance wheel structure of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0061] Step 1: The stacked packages are fed into the stack separation unit 1 from the input end and sequentially pass through the inclined surfaces of the first stack separation plate 11, the second stack separation plate 12, and the third stack separation plate 13 to be separated from the stack;

[0062] Step 2: After the packages emerge from the stacking separation unit 1, they are conveyed by the conveyor belt 2 to the single-piece separation unit 3. The visual inspection camera 33 in the single-piece separation unit 3 detects the position of the packages conveyed to the separation belt unit 32 and controls the separation belt unit 32 to start according to the detected package position information. The separation belt unit 32 then discharges the input packages in a single file at a fixed interval toward the discharge end.

[0063] Step 3: The packages are transported from the single-piece separation unit 3 in a single file at a fixed interval and enter the guiding and centering unit 4. When passing the guide rollers 42 arranged symmetrically on both sides of the guiding and centering unit 4, the packages are guided out in the center due to the "V" symmetrical arrangement of the guide rollers 42 on both sides;

[0064] Step 4: After passing through the guiding and centering unit 4, the package is guided to the center and enters the information collection and transmission unit 5. The information collection and transmission unit 5 collects the barcode information of the package through the information collection camera 52 and uploads it to the host computer.

[0067] In this embodiment, in step six, when the parcel enters the sorting balance wheel unit 7, the parcel may deviate to the side of the sorting balance wheel unit 7 due to problems such as irregular parcel packaging or machine vibration. At this time, one side of the parcel will contact the top of the universal ball 7323 in the sorting balance wheel unit 7. Since the top height of the universal ball 7323 is higher than the arc top height of the electric roller 7313, the center of gravity of the parcel will be slightly biased toward the direction of the transport module 731. At this time, the rotation of the electric roller 7313 and the rotation of the universal ball 7323 will bring the parcel back to the transport direction of the transport module 731 for continued transportation.

When the packages pass through the guide rollers (42) arranged symmetrically on both sides of the guiding centering unit (4), the packages are guided out in the center according to the "V"-shaped symmetrical arrangement of the guide rollers (42); Step 4: The package is guided to the centering unit (4) and then directed to the information collection and transmission unit (5). The information collection and transmission unit (5) collects the barcode information of the package through the information collection camera (52) and uploads it to the host computer. The host computer calculates the corresponding grid (8) position of the package. Step 5: The package is transmitted from the information collection and transmission unit (5), and enters the sorting balance wheel unit (7) along the track transportation direction after passing through the transition unit (6). At the entry end of the sorting balance wheel unit (7), the package triggers the reflective photoelectric (10), and the sorting balance wheel unit (7) is prompted to enter the package; Step 6: The sorting wheel unit (7) receives the position of the grid opening (8) corresponding to the package obtained by the upper computer in step 4. When the package is in place, the servo motor (7312) of the sorting wheel unit (7) starts to drive the steering rod (7314). At this time, the steering mounting seat (7315) fixedly connected to the steering rod (7314) drives the electric roller (7313) on its top to turn to the corresponding grid opening (8), and the package enters the grid opening (8) through the slide rail (9) on one side of the grid opening (8); When a parcel enters the sorting balance wheel unit (7), the parcel may deviate to the side of the sorting balance wheel unit (7) due to irregular packaging of the parcel or vibration of the machine. At this time, one side of the parcel will contact the top of the universal ball (7323) in the sorting balance wheel unit (7). Since the top height of the universal ball (7323) is higher than the arc top height of the electric roller (7313), the center of gravity of the parcel will deviate to the direction of the transport module (731). At this time, the rotation of the electric roller (7313) and the rotation of the universal ball (7323) will bring the parcel back to the transport direction of the transport module (731) for further transportation.
