TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The multi-directional clamping combined gripper of the intelligent sorting equipment and the intelligent sorting equipment relate to a combined gripper structure installed on an intelligent sorting equipment, belong to the technical field of intelligent logistics, and particularly relate to a combined gripper structure capable of clamping different positions of express packages at the same time through multiple clamping components, capable of putting express packages of different sizes into collection barrels, and reducing the falling of express packages during movement. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of society, online shopping has become the main shopping way of consumers. In the process of sending express packages from the origin to the destination, the express packages need to be sorted and stacked according to different destinations to realize rapid transfer. The current sorting method is mainly manual, but manual sorting is low in efficiency, high in labor intensity, and prone to sorting errors, which causes the express packages to fail to reach the correct destination. Therefore, intelligent sorting lines are applied. The existing intelligent sorting is to automatically read the bar code of the express package through the read-write device arranged on the conveying belt, then the control system receives the data from the read-write device, processes the read data according to the preset sorting rules, and generates a sorting instruction, and finally the sorting device such as a push rod, a chute or a pneumatic device sorts the express packages of different destinations into the corresponding containers according to the sorting instruction issued by the control system. However, when the bar code of the express package is not directly opposite to the read-write device, the existing intelligent sorting method cannot automatically identify the destination of the express package, the control system cannot issue the correct sorting instruction for the express package, and therefore the sorting device cannot sort the express package into the corresponding container, which causes the express package to stay on the conveying belt for a long time or enter the non-corresponding container, and the sorting efficiency and accuracy are low.
[0003] The disclosure No. CN209792017U discloses a carousel sorting machine, including a package supply system, a carousel system arranged at the outlet of the package supply system, and a plurality of bag drop frames arranged outside the carousel system. The package supply system includes a lower package section, an information acquisition section, a fast lower package section arranged in turn in the lower package direction, and a servo motor for driving the lower package section and the fast lower package section. The carousel system includes a main support fixed frame, a carousel support and a driving motor. The outer side of the carousel support is provided with an electric roller corresponding to the bag drop frame, and a baffle is arranged between adjacent electric rollers. The electric roller and the bag drop frame are provided with a guide groove, and one side of the guide groove is provided with a first inclined plate inclined in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the carousel support. The above-mentioned carousel sorting machine collects the information of the goods through the code reading camera, and sorts the goods into different bag drop frames according to the information of the goods, but when the barcode of the goods is not directly opposite to the code reading camera, the above-mentioned carousel sorting machine cannot automatically identify the information of the goods, and cannot sort the goods, resulting in that the goods stay on the carousel support for a long time or enter the corresponding bag drop frame, and the sorting efficiency and accuracy are low.
[0004] In order to improve the above problems, the applicant has filed another Chinese invention patent application with the title of "Intelligent sorting equipment", when the code reader cannot collect the barcode data of the express package, and the control system cannot identify the destination in the barcode data, the support mechanism cooperates with the clamping mechanism to sort all the express packages whose barcode destinations cannot be recognized by the reader into the collection barrel through the first clamping jaw for subsequent re-sorting. The extension range of the first clamping jaw in the above-mentioned intelligent sorting equipment is limited, which can easily clamp and move small-sized express packages. For large-sized express packages, the first clamping jaw cannot effectively clamp the express packages or can only clamp part of the express packages. In the process of moving the express packages to the collection barrel, the express packages may fall off, the packages cannot enter the collection barrel, and even the express packages are damaged, reducing the sorting efficiency.

The rotational speed of the driving motor and the rotational speed of the second rotating motor are preset, so that when the express package reaches one end of the first conveying belt, the U-shaped baffle corresponding to the express package can rotate to a position corresponding to the one end of the first conveying belt, so that the express package can be conveyed from the first conveying belt to the second conveying belt of the U-shaped baffle.

[0084] When the code reader can collect the bar code data of the express package, the collected bar code data is sent to the signal converter, the signal converter converts the electrical signal of the received bar code data into a digital signal and sends it to the data processor, the data processor processes the digital signal of the received bar code data, identifies the destination of the express package in the bar code data, finds the U-shaped baffle corresponding to the destination, and controls the driving motor to rotate. The driving motor controls the driving turntable to rotate, the driving turntable drives the driven turntable to rotate, the driven turntable drives the collecting cylinder, the connecting disc and the plurality of U-shaped baffles to rotate, so that the U-shaped baffle corresponding to the express package rotates close to the first conveying belt, and the express package is conveyed from the first conveying belt to the second conveying belt on the U-shaped baffle. When the U-shaped baffle rotates close to the corresponding classification barrel, the controller controls the first rotating motor corresponding to the U-shaped baffle to start, the first rotating motor drives the first meshing gear to rotate, the first meshing gear drives the second meshing gear to rotate, the second meshing gear drives the second conveying belt to rotate, and the second conveying belt conveys the express package into the corresponding classification barrel. In this way, the express package whose bar code destination can be recognized by the reader is sorted into the corresponding classification barrel,
[0085] When the code reader cannot collect the bar code data of the express package, the control system cannot identify the destination in the bar code data, the controller controls the multiple cameras to start, the express package is conveyed from the first conveying belt to the second conveying belt of any one U-shaped baffle, the camera collects the image data of the express package on each U-shaped baffle, and sends the collected image data signal to the signal converter, the signal converter converts the electric signal of the received image data signal into a digital signal and sends it to the data processor, the data processor processes the digital signal of the received image data, identifies the bar code in the image data, when the bar code cannot be identified, the controller controls the driving motor to stop rotating, the controller controls the second telescopic rod and the third telescopic rod on the support horizontal rod where the camera is located to start, the second telescopic rod shrinks towards the U-shaped baffle, and the third telescopic rod stretches downward, driving the first telescopic rod and the first clamping jaw to move to the express package directly above, the controller controls the first telescopic rod to start, the first telescopic rod stretches downward, so that the two first clamping jaws clamp the express package, and then the controller controls the third telescopic rod to shrink upward, the second telescopic rod shrinks towards the collection barrel, driving the first telescopic rod and the first clamping jaw to move above the collection barrel, the controller controls the first telescopic rod to shrink upward, so that the two first clamping jaws separate and put the express package into the collection barrel, so as to sort the express package whose bar code destination cannot be identified by the reader into the collection barrel for subsequent re-sorting.
[0086] Further, the other end side of the first clamping jaw is provided with a flexible sheet, and the flexible sheet is provided with anti-skid lines, and the anti-skid lines include transverse anti-skid lines and vertical anti-skid lines, and the transverse anti-skid lines and the vertical anti-skid lines are staggered.
[0087] Further, the second conveying belt is provided with rubber pads, and the rubber pads are in one-to-one correspondence with the second conveying belt. Beneficial effects

[0122] The other end of the third gripper arm (50) is correspondingly arranged at one end of the gripper (56), and the height of the third gripper arm (50) gradually decreases from one end to the other end,
[0123] Preferably, the gripper (56) structure and the control system of the intelligent sorting equipment establish signal interaction;
[0124] In use, the combined gripper (56) structure is installed on the intelligent sorting equipment, and the other end of the fourth connecting arm (8) is arranged at the middle of the fixed disc (44). When the code reader cannot collect the bar code data of the express package, and the control system cannot identify the destination in the bar code data, the controller controls the multiple cameras (6) to start. The express package is conveyed from the first conveying belt (10) to the second conveying belt (17) of any one U-shaped baffle (27). The camera (6) collects the image of the express package on each U-shaped baffle (27), sends the collected image data signal to the signal converter, and converts the received image data signal into a digital signal and sends it to the data processor. The data processor processes the digital signal of the received image data, identifies the size and shape of the express package in the image data, determines the number of required gripping assemblies and the position suitable for stable gripping of the express package according to the size and shape of the express package, and drives the combined gripper (56) structure to the express package. The controller controls the corresponding fourth telescopic rod (45) in the required gripper (56) assembly to start, so that each gripping assembly is aligned with a certain position of the express package to be gripped. The fourth telescopic rod (45) drives the T-shaped slider and the sliding connection block (55) and the gripper (56) to the position above the corresponding position. The controller controls the corresponding fifth telescopic rod (54) to extend downward, so that the corresponding gripper (56) clamps the corresponding position of the express package. Then the controller controls the third telescopic rod (4) to shrink upward, and the second telescopic rod (21) shrinks in the direction of the collection barrel (24), driving the express package to move above the collection barrel (24). The controller controls the fifth telescopic rod (54) to shrink upward, so that the two grippers (56) separate and put the express package into the collection barrel (24). This is repeated to sort different sizes of express packages that cannot be identified by the reader (41) into the collection barrel (24) for subsequent re-sorting, which can reduce the dropping of express packages during movement to the collection barrel (24), reduce the damage of express packages, and improve the sorting efficiency.

[0125] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the side of the clamping jaw (56) is provided with a flexible gasket (57), and the flexible gasket (57) is in one-to-one correspondence with the clamping jaw (56). In use, the flexible gasket (42) can increase the friction between the clamping jaw (56) and the express package, reduce the sliding of the clamping jaw (56) when clamping the express package to move into the collection barrel (24), and cause the express package to tilt or fall, and can also protect the express package and reduce damage to the express package caused by the clamping jaw (56) piercing the express package.
