DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] 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.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: This embodiment provides a logistics sorting device with double-sided flipping and weighing functions, including a conveying track 1 and a plurality of conveying trolleys 2 installed on the conveying track 1. Each adjacent conveying trolley 2 is connected by a connecting mechanism 10 to form a closed conveying body for conveying goods connected end to end. A receiving tray 3 for carrying goods is installed on each conveying trolley 2. It also includes a flipping mechanism 4, a weighing mechanism, a driving mechanism 6, a power supply module 7 and a control module 8.

[0036] In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 4 is installed at the top of the conveying trolley 2 and cooperates with the receiving tray 3. The receiving tray 3 can be flipped left and right through the flipping mechanism 4. Then, according to actual needs, the goods on the receiving tray 3 are sorted by the flipping mechanism 4, thereby realizing the double-sided flipping function of the receiving tray 3.

[0037] It should be added that the flip mechanism 4 includes a flip motor 41, a connecting blind plate 42 and a connecting bracket 43. The flip motor 41 is electrically connected to the control module 8, and the flip motor 41 is installed on the top of the conveying trolley 2. The flip motor 41 adopts a servo motor and a reducer structure, wherein the servo motor and the reducer structure are prior art, and their working principle is well known to those skilled in the art. In order to improve the connection strength between the flip motor 41 and the receiving tray 3, a connecting blind plate 42 and a connecting bracket 43 are matched. Among them, the connecting blind plates 42 are two and are respectively welded longitudinally at both ends of the output shaft of the flip motor 41 to form two swing arm structures. The connecting bracket 43 is located above the flip motor 41 and is fixedly installed on the two connecting blind plates 42 by welding, riveting or bolting. The connecting bracket 43 cooperates with the receiving tray 3 and carries the receiving tray 3. The servo motor and the reducer structure can accurately and real-time control the rotation angle of the flip motor 41, and then control the flip direction and flip angle of the receiving tray 3, thereby realizing the double-sided flip function.

[0038] In this embodiment, the weighing module 5 is installed between the turning mechanism 4 and the receiving tray 3, and the weighing module 5 is electrically connected to the control module 8. When powered on, the weighing module 5 can weigh the goods placed in the receiving tray 3. The goods placed on the receiving tray 3 are first weighed by the weighing module 5, and the weighed goods are turned over and sorted under the action of the turning mechanism 4. In this process, there is no need to place the goods on a separate weighing device for weighing. Instead, the weighing module 5 is modularly arranged on the conveying trolley 2, which has a high degree of integration, changes the cumbersome steps of traditional weighing, and is conducive to improving the efficiency of modern logistics sorting.

[0039] It should be added that the weighing module 5 is fixed between the receiving tray 3 and the connecting bracket 43 by bolts. When powered on, the weighing module 5 can weigh the receiving tray 3 by a function similar to an electronic scale, and after weighing, the weighing module 5 can obtain the weight of the goods in the receiving tray 3 by subtracting the weight of the receiving tray 3 by a data conversion method.

[0040] In this embodiment, a position detection mechanism 9 is installed on the conveying trolley 2, and the position detection mechanism 9 is used to detect the flipping position of the flipping mechanism 4. When the flipping motor 41 rotates to a specific angle, the position detection mechanism 9 can detect the position and perform a secondary confirmation on the specific angle of the flipping motor 41 to ensure the accuracy of the flipping angle of the flipping motor 41. When the flipping mechanism 4 drives the receiving tray 3 to reset, the maintenance personnel can detect its reset effect through the position detection mechanism 9.

[0041] It should be added that the position detection mechanism 9 includes a photoelectric switch 91 and a detection ear 92. The photoelectric switch 91 is electrically connected to the control module 8, the photoelectric switch 91 is fixed to the conveying trolley 2 by bolts, and the detection ear 92 is welded or integrally formed on the connection blind plate 42. When the detection ear 92 extends into the detection interval of the photoelectric switch 91, the photoelectric switch 91 sends a feedback signal to the control module 8, and the flip position is compared with the flip motor 41 for a second time.

[0042] In this embodiment, the power supply module 7 includes a transmission conductor 71 and a power supply track 72. The transmission conductor 71 is installed on the conveying trolley 2, and the transmission conductor 71 is electrically connected to the weighing module 5, the flip motor 41, and the control module 8. The power supply track 72 is installed on the conveying track 1, and the power supply track 72 is connected to an external power supply. The transmission conductor 71 and the power supply track 72 are adapted. The transmission conductor 71 is a guide rail collector arm. The transmission conductor 71 and the power supply track 72 are both prior art.

[0043] In this embodiment, two adjacent conveying trolleys 2 are connected by a connecting mechanism 10, and the connecting mechanism 10 is used to connect and adjust the distance between the two adjacent conveying trolleys 2, thereby adjusting the distance between the receiving plates 3 installed on the two adjacent conveying trolleys 2.

[0044] It should be added that the connection mechanism 10 includes a first connection member 101 having a threaded section, a second connection member 102 having a threaded section, and an adjustment prism 103 threadedly connected to the threaded sections of the first connection member 101 and the second connection member 102. The threaded sections of the first connection member 101 and the threaded sections of the second connection member 102 are arranged with opposite threaded directions, and the adjustment prism 103 is provided with two internal threaded holes with opposite threaded directions, and the two internal threaded holes with opposite threaded directions of the two sections of the adjustment prism 103 are respectively adapted to the threaded sections of the first connection member 101 and the second connection member 102. The adjustment prism 103 is rotated to change the distance between the first connection member 101 and the second connection member 102, thereby changing the distance between two adjacent conveying carts 2.

[0045] The first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 are rotatably mounted on two adjacent conveying carts 2 respectively.

[0046] In this embodiment, the conveying trolley 2 includes a load-bearing guide wheel group 21 and a position-limiting guide wheel group 22; the load-bearing guide wheel group 21 includes four load-bearing guide wheels, which are rotatably mounted at the four corners of the lower end of the conveying trolley 2. The position-limiting guide wheel group 22 includes at least two position-limiting guide wheels, which are rotatably mounted at the bottom of the conveying trolley 2. The four load-bearing guide wheels are placed on the conveying track 1 to bear the load of the conveying trolley 2, and the position-limiting guide wheels extend into the position-limiting grooves in the lower section of the conveying track 1. The position-limiting guide wheels are adapted to the position-limiting grooves to ensure the stable operation of the conveying trolley 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, the transport trolley 2 further includes a guide plate 23 longitudinally mounted at the bottom thereof, and the guide plate 23 cooperates with the driving mechanism 6. The driving mechanism 6 includes two groups of belt driving components, which are symmetrically arranged, and the guide plate 23 is placed between the two groups of belt driving components. The two groups of belt driving components move synchronously, driving the guide plate 23 to move forward, thereby driving the transport trolley to move along the conveying track 1.

[0048] When using this device:

[0049] In the loading area, the goods to be sorted are first placed on the corresponding receiving trays 3 in turn, and the weighing module 5 weighs the goods on each conveyor trolley 2 and feeds back to the system through the control module 8; then the driving mechanism 6 drives the conveyor trolley 2 to move along the conveying track 1 through the guide plate 23. When the conveyor trolley 2 moves to a certain position, the flipping motor 41 drives the receiving tray 3 to rotate to a specific sorting area through the connecting blind plate 42 and the connecting bracket 43 to complete the sorting action; after the goods in the receiving tray 3 are sorted, the flipping motor 41 drives the receiving tray 3 to reset, and then continues to move forward through the driving mechanism 6, moving one by one to the loading area to realize cyclic sorting.
