Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of goods sorting equipment, and in particular to a warehouse goods sorting device and system thereof for logistics transportation. Background Art

[0002] In the modern logistics and transportation system, warehouse goods sorting is a crucial link, and its efficiency and accuracy directly affect the smoothness and cost of the entire logistics chain. At present, the goods sorting method adopted by most warehouses still relies on the traditional combination of manual and sorting machines. Specifically, goods are usually packaged in cartons, and an information sheet containing an identification code (such as a barcode or QR code) containing the goods information is affixed to the surface of the carton. This identification code is an important basis for identifying the type and destination of goods during the sorting process.

[0003] In the traditional sorting process, the goods are first scanned by the gantry and the top scanning device above the gantry to scan the information sheet on the carton. This step requires that the information sheet on the carton must be oriented in the same direction (that is, the side with the information sheet facing up) to ensure that the scanning device can accurately read the identification code. However, in actual operation, due to the large number of goods and different packaging, and the difficulty in manually placing the goods with the information sheet facing up every time, the operator needs to concentrate for a long time and frequently turn the carton to ensure successful scanning. This process not only increases the workload of the operator, but also reduces the sorting efficiency, especially when handling heavy or irregularly sized goods, turning the carton is particularly difficult.

[0004] In summary, the existing warehouse goods sorting method has problems such as cumbersome operation, low efficiency, and high dependence on manpower, and it is difficult to meet the growing logistics needs. To this end, we propose a warehouse goods sorting device and system for logistics transportation. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Embodiment 1:

[0042] See also Figure 1-11 The present invention provides a technical solution: a warehouse goods sorting device for logistics transportation, comprising a gantry 1 and a sorting machine body 11, a scanner 12 is installed on the top of the inner wall of the gantry 1, and the scanner 12 scans the top of the goods, and also includes:

[0043] A narrow-band sorting machine 2 is installed on one side of the sorting machine body 11 and passes through the gantry 1;

[0044] A gantry frame 13, the gantry frame 13 is fixed on the gantry frame 1, and a second scanner 14 is installed on both sides of the inner wall of the gantry frame 13, and the second scanner 14 scans both sides of the goods, and the second scanner 14 is electrically connected to the first scanner 12;

[0045] The correction mechanism 3 is installed on the narrow-band sorting machine 2, and the correction mechanism 3 adjusts the posture of the goods on the narrow-band sorting machine 2 to a state vertical and parallel to the narrow-band sorting machine 2;

[0046] A 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4 is installed on one side of the narrow-belt sorting machine 2 and is used to deflect the goods by 90 degrees;

[0047] The transfer mechanism 5 is fixed on one side of the narrow-band sorting machine 2. The transfer mechanism 5 transfers the objects not scanned by the scanner 1 12 and the scanner 2 14 to the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4 in a state parallel and perpendicular to the narrow-band sorting machine 2.

[0048] The turning mechanism 6 is installed on the gantry 1 and connected to the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4. The turning mechanism 6 turns the goods on the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4 180 degrees;

[0049] The conveying mechanism 7 is installed on the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4 and is connected to the sorting machine body 11. The conveying mechanism 7 re-conveys the cargo with adjusted posture to the narrow-band sorting machine 2.

[0050] The correction mechanism 3 includes a support frame 31 installed on the narrow-band sorting machine 2, a first support rod 32 is relatively installed on the support frame 31, a transparent plate 33 is slidably sleeved on the first support rod 32, and first sensors 34 are installed on both sides of one end of the narrow-band sorting machine 2. The first sensor 34 is electrically connected to the narrow-band sorting machine 2, and controls one side of the narrow-band sorting machine 2 to rotate left and right according to the position of the triggered first sensor 34.

[0051] When the goods enter the narrow-band sorting machine 2 from one side through the conveyor belt for transporting goods, the first sensor 34 on the corresponding side of the narrow-band sorting machine 2 is triggered, and the narrow band part in contact with the goods in the narrow-band sorting machine 2 is transmitted. When one side of the goods is parallel to the narrow-band sorting machine 2, the narrow-band sorting machine 2 drives the goods forward while applying a horizontal thrust to the goods. Due to the resistance provided by the transparent plate 33, one side of the goods will eventually fit with the transparent plate 33. When the goods are about to break away from the contact with the transparent plate 33 during the forward process, the narrow-band sorting machine 2 provides forward power to drive the goods to continue moving forward; if the goods are offset due to other factors (workers placing them at random, external force interference, etc.), and one side of the goods is at a certain angle to the narrow-band sorting machine 2, the inclined surface of the goods in this posture is not To facilitate scanning, after the goods enter the narrow-band sorting machine 2, as the narrow-band part in contact with the goods in the narrow-band sorting machine 2 is driven, the horizontal movement of the goods drives the transparent plate 33 to move synchronously. During this process, the transparent plate 33 continuously applies resistance to the goods, and one corner of the goods cannot form a stable support and will rotate until one side is in contact with the transparent plate 33. Finally, the goods will be transported from the narrow-band sorting machine 2 in a state parallel to the narrow-band sorting machine 2, which is convenient for the scanner 2 14 to identify the left and right sides of the goods. If the goods are put in from the other side of the narrow-band sorting machine 2, the first sensor 34 corresponding to the other side of the narrow-band sorting machine 2 is triggered, and the narrow-band part of the narrow-band sorting machine 2 where the goods are placed is driven in the opposite direction, and the placement state of the goods is also adjusted and transported.

[0052] The transfer mechanism 5 includes a fixed frame 51 installed on the narrow belt sorter 2, a cylinder 52 is installed on the fixed frame 51, a push plate 53 is installed on the cylinder 52, a second sensor 54 is installed on the push plate 53, and the push plate 53 corresponds to the loading position at one end of the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4.

[0053] When the scanner 1 12 and the scanner 2 14 fail to recognize the information sheet on the goods, and the goods pass the position of the push plate 53, they are monitored by the second sensor 54 on the push plate 53. Then the second sensor 54 sends a signal to the cylinder 52, and the cylinder 52 starts, pushing the goods into the 90-degree turn conveyor belt 4 through the push plate 53. The push plate 53 applies a horizontal movement force to the goods.

[0054] The flipping mechanism 6 includes an intercepting rod 61 installed on the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4. There are two intercepting rods 61, and there is a distance between them. A laser sensor 62 is installed on the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4. The laser sensor 62 identifies whether there is any cargo on the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4. It also includes a mounting base 63 fixed on the gantry 1. A motor 64 is installed on the mounting base 63. A first gear 65 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 64. A first rotating shaft 66 is installed on the mounting base 63. A second gear 67 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 66. A third rotating shaft 68 is installed on the mounting base 63. There are several third rotating shafts 68, which are distributed in a wave shape. A chain 69 is sleeved between the first gear 65 and the second gear 67. The third rotating shaft 68 is fitted with the chain 69. Under the guidance of the third rotating shaft 68, the chain 69 is in a wave shape. It also includes a guiding member 600 and a flipping member 610 installed on the mounting base 63.

[0055] The guide member 600 includes a second support rod 601 fixed on a mounting seat 63, a guide block 602 is installed on the second support rod 601, and the guide block 602 has the same shape as the chain 69, a third support rod 603 is installed on the mounting seat 63, a fixed block 604 is installed on the third support rod 603, a groove 605 is provided on the fixed block 604, and the groove 605 has the same shape as the guide block 602, a first slide rail 606 with the same shape as the chain 69 is formed between the guide block 602 and the groove 605, and a second slide rail 607 is provided on the guide block 602, and the second slide rail 607 is the same as the first slide rail 606.

[0056] The flip member 610 includes a first hollow shaft 611 and a second hollow shaft 612 which are respectively installed through the first slide rail 606 and the second slide rail 607. A driving rod 613 is fixed to one side of the chain 69. The driving rod 613 penetrates the front section of the first hollow shaft 611. The fourth support rod 614 is installed through the rear section of the first hollow shaft 611 and the second hollow shaft 612. A shift plate 615 is sleeved on one of the fourth support rods 614. The top of the shift plate 615 is fixed to the other fourth support rod 614. One side of the shift plate 615 is made of rubber.

[0057] After being transported by the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4, the goods rotate 90 degrees. When the laser sensor 62 is not triggered, the paddle plate 615 is above the first slide rail 606. After the unidentified goods enter the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4, they are blocked by the intercepting rod 61 at the front end. At this time, the goods are sensed by the laser sensor 62 and send a signal to the motor 64. The motor 64 drives the first gear 65 to rotate through the driving shaft, and the first gear 65 drives the chain 69 and the second gear 67 to rotate synchronously. Due to the guidance of the third rotating shaft 68, the chain 69 drives the driving rod 613 to move in a wavy line synchronously. The driving rod 613 drives the paddle plate 615 to move along the same trajectory through the first hollow shaft 611. The first hollow shaft 611 itself can rotate, which greatly reduces the friction between the driving rod 613 and the first slide rail 606. Under the restrictions of the driving rod 613, the fourth support rod 614, the first slide rail 606 and the second slide rail 607, the paddle plate 615 cannot rotate, that is, the driving rod 613 While driving the first hollow shaft 611 to move synchronously, the first hollow shaft 611 rotates and drives the paddle 615 to move in the same trajectory as the driving rod 613 in a fixed posture. The paddle 615 first moves obliquely upward. Since the bottom end of the goods is blocked by the first intercepting rod 61, when the paddle 615 applies an oblique upward thrust to the other end of the goods, the intercepting rod 61 is located below the front end of the goods. The intercepting rod 61 is equivalent to a fulcrum. The goods are flipped 90 degrees and pass through the first intercepting rod 61. Then, under the guidance of the trajectory of the chain 69, the paddle 615 moves obliquely downward. At this time, the goods are intercepted by the intercepting rod 61 at the rear end. Then, the paddle 615 moves obliquely upward again, and in the same way, the goods are flipped 90 degrees again to pass through the second intercepting rod 61. Compared with the initial state, the goods are finally rotated 90 degrees and flipped 180 degrees. When passing through the narrow-band sorting machine 2 again, the scanner 1 12 and the scanner 2 14 scan the other three sides of the goods, and then enter the sorting machine body 11 for classification.

[0058] The conveying mechanism 7 includes a linear conveyor 71 installed on the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4. The linear conveyor 71 is vertically arranged at the connecting part with the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4, and one end thereof is connected to the narrow-band sorting machine 2. A first blocking plate 72 is installed between the linear conveyor 71 and the narrow-band sorting machine 2. The first blocking plate 72 blocks the gap between the linear conveyor 71 and the narrow-band sorting machine 2.

[0059] After passing through the turning mechanism 6 , the goods are transported from the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4 to the linear conveyor 71 , and the linear conveyor 71 transports the goods back to the narrow-band sorting machine 2 .

[0060] A sorting system suitable for a warehouse goods sorting device, characterized in that it includes:

[0061] An identification module, wherein the identification module scans the side of the goods with the information sheet attached thereto based on the scanner 1 12 and the scanner 2 14, thereby obtaining the goods information;

[0062] The transport module, based on the laser sensor 62, identifies whether there are unrecognized goods passing by and corrects their posture. After the goods enter the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4, the goods trigger the laser sensor 62, and the posture of the goods is adjusted through the flipping mechanism 6, and the other sides of the goods that have not been recognized by the recognition module are flipped, and then they are re-transported to the narrow-band sorter 2;

[0063] The screening module performs corresponding operations based on whether the identification module recognizes the cargo information. When the identification module successfully identifies the cargo, the transportation module does not operate. When the identification module fails to identify the cargo, and the second sensor 54 senses that cargo has passed, at this time, the side of the cargo with the information sheet is not within the identifiable range of the identification module, the cylinder 52 is started, and the cargo that cannot be identified by the identification module is driven into the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4 through the push plate 53. The push plate 53 can prevent the cargo from being offset during the movement, which affects the subsequent identification of the identification module.

[0064] The narrow-band sorting machine 2 is an existing technology, and its main components can be divided into three parts: a frame (for support), a conveyor belt system (composed of multiple narrow belts, used to transport goods horizontally or vertically), and a sorting system (by controlling a single or multiple narrow belt transmissions in the conveyor belt system to accurately sort items from the conveyor belt to a specified location).

[0065] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the goods enter the narrow-band sorting machine 2 from one side through the conveyor belt for conveying the goods, the first sensor 34 on the corresponding side of the narrow-band sorting machine 2 is triggered, and the single or multiple narrow belts in the narrow-band sorting machine 2 that are in contact with the goods are driven to move horizontally while moving forward. The goods may be tilted or offset due to other factors (such as workers placing them randomly or external interference). The present invention is explained from the following two aspects:

[0066] When the goods are not deflected, the narrow-band sorter 2 drives the goods forward and applies a horizontal thrust to the goods. Since the transparent plate 33 provides resistance, one side of the goods will eventually fit with the transparent plate 33. After the goods contact the transparent plate 33, since the goods are not deflected, one side of the goods packaging box fits with the transparent plate 33. Under the obstruction of the transparent plate 33, the goods will not deflect. The narrow-band sorter 2 provides forward power to drive the goods to continue moving forward. Then the goods are scanned by the scanner 1 12 and the scanner 2 14. If the goods information is detected, they are continuously transported to the sorter body 11 for classification.

[0067] When the goods are skewed, one side of the goods is at a certain angle to the narrow-band sorting machine 2. In this state, the inclined surface of the goods is not conducive to scanning. After the goods enter the narrow-band sorting machine 2, similarly, the horizontal movement of the goods drives the transparent plate 33 to move synchronously. During this process, the transparent plate 33 continuously applies resistance to the goods, and one corner of the goods cannot form a stable support and will rotate until one side fits with the transparent plate 33. Finally, the goods will be transported from the narrow-band sorting machine 2 in a state parallel to the narrow-band sorting machine 2, which is convenient for the scanner 2 14 to identify the left and right sides of the goods. If the goods are put in from the other side of the narrow-band sorting machine 2, the first sensor 34 corresponding to the other side of the narrow-band sorting machine 2 is triggered, and the narrow band part of the narrow-band sorting machine 2 where the goods are placed is reversely transmitted. The placement state of the goods is also adjusted and transported, which can ensure that the scanner 1 12 and the scanner 2 14 can scan the top surface and both sides of the goods every time.

[0068] When the information sheet on the goods is not recognized by the scanner 12 and the scanner 2 14, and the goods pass the position of the push plate 53, they are detected by the second sensor 54 on the push plate 53, and then the second sensor 54 sends a signal to the cylinder 52, and the cylinder 52 is started, and the goods are pushed into the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4 through the push plate 53, and the push plate 53 applies a horizontal moving force to the goods;

[0069] After being transported by the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4, the goods rotate 90 degrees. When the laser sensor 62 is not triggered, the paddle 615 is above the first slide rail 606. After the unidentified goods enter the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4, they are blocked by the front interception rod 61. At this time, the goods are sensed by the laser sensor 62 and send a signal to the motor 64. The motor 64 drives the first gear 65 to rotate through the drive shaft. The first gear 65 drives the second gear 67 to rotate synchronously through the chain 69. Due to the guidance of the third rotating shaft 68, the goods are moved to the second gear 67. The chain 69 drives the driving rod 613 to move in a wavy line synchronously, and the driving rod 613 drives the paddle 615 to move in the same trajectory through the first hollow shaft 611. The first hollow shaft 611 itself can rotate, which greatly reduces the friction between the driving rod 613 and the first slide rail 606. Under the restriction of the driving rod 613 and the fourth support rod 614 on the first slide rail 606 and the second slide rail 607, the paddle 615 cannot rotate. That is, while the driving rod 613 drives the first hollow shaft 611 to move synchronously, the first hollow shaft 611 can rotate. The shaft 611 rotates and drives the paddle 615 to move in the same trajectory as the driving rod 613 in a fixed posture. The paddle 615 first moves upward obliquely. Since the bottom end of the cargo is blocked by the first interception rod 61, when the paddle 615 applies an oblique upward thrust to the other end of the cargo, the interception rod 61 is located below the front end of the cargo. The interception rod 61 is equivalent to a fulcrum. The cargo flips 90 degrees and passes through the first interception rod 61. Then, under the guidance of the trajectory of the chain 69, the paddle 615 moves downward obliquely. At this time, the cargo is intercepted by the rear end. The rod 61 intercepts, and then the dial plate 615 tilts and moves upward again. In the same way, the goods are flipped 90 degrees again and pass through the second interception rod 61. Compared with the initial state, the goods are finally rotated 90 degrees and flipped 180 degrees. After passing through the flipping mechanism 6, the goods are transported from the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4 to the linear conveyor 71. The linear conveyor 71 re-transportes the goods to the narrow-band sorting machine 2. The scanner 1 12 and the scanner 2 14 scan the other three sides of the goods, and then enter the sorting machine body 11 for classification. Embodiment 2:

[0070] See also Fig.12 Based on Example 1, the present invention further optimizes this solution:

[0071] A second blocking plate 8 is provided at the connection points among the narrow-band sorter 2 , the sorter body 11 , the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4 , and the linear conveyor 71 .

[0072] Since the above devices are all conveyor belt type equipment, there will be a certain gap at the joint, and the second blocking plate 8 can prevent the goods from being congested in the gap.

[0073] There are two turning mechanisms 6, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the 90-degree turning conveyor belt 4, and both support the shifting plate 615 therein.

[0074] The paddle 615, which is supported on both sides, operates more stably, has a longer service life, and has a lower failure rate.
