Description

Technical Field

[0002] Automated conveyor-based online sorting systems are highly efficient logistics systems that automatically separate and transport goods according to different destinations or classification criteria. The advantages of online sorting systems lie in their ability to sort goods by scanning QR codes on the outside of packaging boxes, significantly improving sorting efficiency, reducing labor costs, lowering error rates, and adapting to diverse sorting needs. This system is widely used in logistics centers, warehouses, postal systems, e-commerce distribution centers, and other similar settings.

[0003] However, the existing equipment currently has the following problems in use:

[0004] Before being transported to the scanning equipment, the packaging boxes are often piled up together, resulting in gaps between the contents and the box walls. This compression between the boxes causes deformation of the boxes and the QR codes printed on them for the equipment to recognize. As a result, the scanning equipment cannot effectively recognize the deformed QR codes. Generally, the equipment will pile up the unrecognizable boxes and then sort them manually. This situation affects sorting efficiency, increases the number of piled-up items, and makes the workload of personnel quite heavy when the number of boxes is large.

[0058] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] This invention provides, for example Figure 1-14 The online sorting structure of an automated conveyor shown includes a conveyor frame 1, a punching mechanism 2, an air blowing mechanism 3, an air bag adjusting mechanism 4, a base 5, a telescopic support rod 6, a base 7, and an adjusting assembly 8. Two sliding grooves are formed at one end of the conveyor frame 1, and two first lead screws 22 are rotatably connected within these grooves. The punching mechanism 2 and the air blowing mechanism 3 are threadedly connected to adjacent first lead screws 22. The input end of the air blowing mechanism 3 is connected to an air pump via a hose, and the output end of the air blowing mechanism 3 has a conical head. First drive motors capable of driving the adjacent first lead screws 22 are provided on both sides of the conveyor frame 1. One side of the air bag adjusting mechanism 4 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the conveyor frame 1, and the other side of the air bag adjusting mechanism 4 is connected to one end of the air blowing mechanism 3. Connection; Base 5 is located at the bottom of conveyor frame 1, and the bottom of base 5 is hollowed out. Lifting component 61 is installed through the center of base 5; Multiple telescopic support rods 6 are arranged in a rectangular array on base 7, and one end of multiple telescopic support rods 6 is installed through the hollowed-out bottom of base 5; Base 7 is located at the bottom of base 5, and multiple ball bearings are movably installed at the top of telescopic support rods 6. The bottom of base 7 is equipped with a second drive motor connected to one end of lifting component 61; Two adjustment components 8 are provided, and one end of the two adjustment components 8 is symmetrically arranged on base 7. One end of adjustment component 8 is equipped with clamping component 9 that can clamp the packaging box. Adjustment component 8 is also hollowed out at the bottom of air bag adjustment mechanism 4 and extends into conveyor frame 1.

[0060] The first step involves rotating the cardboard box to align the identification code on the box with the corresponding position on the identification device for code recognition.

[0061] By placing the packaging box on top of the base 5 and conveying the box through the base 5, when the packaging box is conveyed into the conveyor frame 1, two pneumatic push rods located at the bottom of the second electric telescopic rod 81 are activated to push the two adjusting components 8 and the clamping components 9. When the adjusting components 8 and the clamping components 9 slide on the base 7, they clamp and fix the side wall of the box. By activating the drive motor located on the connecting plate 82, the two clamping components 9 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the two clamping components 9 clamping the box can adjust the position of the identification code on the box, making it easier for the identification device to correspond with the identification code position. This avoids manual adjustment of the box position by personnel, reduces the workload of personnel, and improves the automation level of the equipment. Among them, the clamping components 9 can cooperate with the second drive motor and the lifting component 61. The second drive motor drives the lifting component 61 to rotate, which can adjust the horizontal position of the packaging box, improving the convenience and accuracy of the equipment identification.

[0062] After the above operation of rotating the carton to adjust the position of the identification code is completed;

[0063] When the carton identification code is squeezed and deformed and cannot be identified, the next step is to start the first drive motor to adjust the position of the punching mechanism 2. At this time, after the hollow drill bit 25 is in contact with the side wall of the carton, the drilling motor 24 is started. The power output shaft of the drilling motor 24 rotates to drive the hollow drill bit 25 to drill holes in the side wall of the carton.

[0064] Then, rotate the carton in the manner described in the first step, so that the side with the opening is rotated to the direction of the air blowing mechanism 3. At this time, the position of the second adjusting block 31 is adjusted by starting the adjacent first drive motor, so that the plug 34 is inserted into the air inlet on the plastic air bag 44, and the center part of the plastic air bag 44 is pushed into the carton. After the pressure sensor 10 recognizes that the head end of the plug 34 is inserted into the carton, the air pump is started.

[0065] The air pump delivers gas through the hose, air inlet pipe 32, and connector 34 into the plastic airbag 44. After the gas in the center of the plastic airbag 44 expands, it supports the squeezed and deformed side panel of the carton, making the wrinkles on the surface of the identification code smooth. When the identification equipment identifies the carton, the identification operation can be completed quickly and accurately without manual adjustment and identification, which improves efficiency and reduces the workload of personnel. After the identification is completed, the equipment drives the sorting rod on the base 5 to swing and sort the carton. Then, the sorted goods are transported in a centralized manner by a forklift.

[0066] As a further optimization of the present invention, the drilling mechanism 2 includes a first adjusting block 21 and a first electric telescopic rod 23. The first adjusting block 21 has sliders on both sides, which are slidably connected to the sidewalls of the groove. The first adjusting block 21 is threadedly connected to two adjacent first lead screws 22. One end of each first lead screw 22 is provided with a first gear, and the power output shaft of the first drive motor is connected to a second gear, which meshes with the two first gears. One end of the first electric telescopic rod 23 is connected to the first adjusting block 21, and the other end of the first electric telescopic rod 23 is connected to a drilling motor 24. The power output shaft of the drilling motor 24 is connected to a hollow drill bit 25. The threads on the two adjacent first lead screws 22 are arranged in opposite directions. The hollow drill bit 25 has serrated blocks arranged in a ring. Pressure sensors 10 are provided on the outer sidewalls of both the hollow drill bit 25 and the connector 34.

[0067] In the above structure, the first drive motor drives the first lead screw 22 to rotate. In conjunction with the interaction between the threads, the first adjusting block 21 moves horizontally on the first lead screw 22, causing the drilling motor 24 to move. When the serrated block on the hollow drill bit 25 is in contact with the side wall of the carton, the drilling motor 24 drives the hollow drill bit 25 to rotate and drill a hole in the side wall of the carton. The drilling depth is limited by the pressure sensor 10 sleeved on the outside of the hollow drill bit 25. This process involves the connector 34 being inserted into the plastic airbag 44. The air inlet is inserted into the upper part of the cardboard box, and the center of the plastic airbag 44 is pushed into the box. When the edge of the plastic airbag 44 is against the outer wall of the connector 34, the limiting plate on the outside of the connector 34 presses against the outer wall of the cardboard box. Therefore, the entire plastic airbag 44 will not be pushed into the box, preventing it from being inflated. When inflating, the center of the plastic airbag 44 inside the box begins to bulge. After bulging, it will pull the edge of the plastic airbag 44 on the outside of the box until the entire plastic airbag 44 expands inside the box. Then, the air inlet disengages from the connector 34. (See reference...) Figure 14 The edge of the plastic airbag 44 is provided with multiple dotted openings. When the plastic airbag 44 expands, it will break the dotted cut. The conduction of the sensor can control the drilling depth to avoid damage to the product in the packaging box due to excessive drilling depth. The size of the hole drilled by the hollow drill bit 25 is the same as the size of the connector 34.

[0068] As a further optimization of the present invention, the air blowing mechanism 3 includes a second adjusting block 31, an air inlet pipe 32, a second lead screw 33, a connector 34, and a connecting rod 35. One end of the second lead screw 33 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of an adjacent slide groove, and the other end of the second lead screw 33 is drively connected to the power output shaft of an adjacent first drive motor. The air inlet pipe 32 passes through the center of the second adjusting block 31, and the top end of the air inlet pipe 32 is connected to the output end of a water pump through a hose. The connector 34 is retractably connected to the bottom end of the air inlet pipe 32. One end of the connecting rod 35 is connected to the air bag adjusting mechanism 4, and the other end of the connecting rod 35 is connected to the bottom end of the air inlet pipe 32. The air bag adjusting mechanism 4 includes a mounting cover 41 and a crossbar. 42 and plastic airbag 44, mounting cover 41 are connected to the inner side wall of conveyor frame 1. The mounting cover 41 is equipped with a third drive motor. The output shaft of the third drive motor is connected to a rotating roller. Two through holes are opened on the side wall of the mounting cover 41. Two crossbars 42 are provided. One end of each crossbar 42 is connected to the side wall of the mounting cover 41. The other end of each crossbar 42 is rotatably connected to a rotating roller 43. Plastic airbag 44 passes through the inner cavity of the two through holes. One end of plastic airbag 44 is wrapped around the outer side wall of the rotating roller. The other end of plastic airbag 44 is wrapped around the rotating roller 43. Multiple airbags are provided on plastic airbag 44. Each of the multiple airbags is provided with a one-way air inlet that cooperates with the plug connector 34.

[0069] In the above structure, the blowing mechanism 3 and the air bag adjustment mechanism 4 cooperate with each other. When the second adjusting block 31 moves on the second lead screw 33, it drives the plug 34 to move and plug into the air inlet of the plastic air bag 44. This allows the gas to enter the air inlet pipe 32 through the hose, then enter the plug 34 through the inner cavity of the air inlet pipe 32, and then be discharged into the plastic air bag 44 through the plug 34.

[0070] At this time, the center of the plastic airbag 44 is pushed into the carton by the connector 34. When air is blown into the carton, the air will cause the plastic airbag 44 to expand and form a square shape inside to support the side wall of the carton, so that the concave part of the side wall of the carton is supported.

[0071] This support method has two beneficial effects: first, it can support the squeezed side walls of the carton, allowing the squeezed identification code to be restored to a flat state, which is convenient for scanning and identification by the identification device; second, the excess space inside the carton can be cushioned by the expansion of the plastic airbag 44, which can protect the contents and improve the impact resistance of the goods during transportation.

[0072] As a further optimization of the present invention, the base 5 is provided with two mounting plates, and multiple conveying rollers 51 are rotatably connected between the two mounting plates. Each of the two mounting plates is provided with a vertical rod 52 at its center. One end of the conveying roller 51 near the vertical rod 52 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the vertical rod 52. The lifting assembly 61 includes a rotating rod 611 and a tray 612. One end of the rotating rod 611 is connected to the power output shaft of the second drive motor, and the other end of the rotating rod 611 is connected to the tray 612. The tray 612 has a trumpet-shaped cross section, with the opening of the tray 612 facing upwards, and an anti-slip rubber ring is provided at the trumpet-shaped opening of the tray 612.

[0073] In the above structure, the conveyor roller 51 is used to transport the items. The items are supported by the lifting and lowering of the telescopic support rod 6. At the same time, the ball bearings on the telescopic support rod 6 can support the items while also having a sliding effect, so that the items can be easily clamped and rotated by the clamping assembly 9 at the top of the telescopic support rod 6. The rotation of the rotating rod 611 and the tray 612 driven by the second drive motor can make the carton rotate horizontally, which facilitates the rotation adjustment of the carton.

[0074] As a further optimization of the present invention, the adjusting component 8 includes a second electric telescopic rod 81 and a connecting plate 82. Multiple second electric telescopic rods 81 are provided, with one end of each rod slidably mounted on the top of the base 7. A sliding groove is provided on the top of the base 7, and a pneumatic push rod connected to the bottom end of each second electric telescopic rod 81 is located within the sliding groove. The connecting plate 82 is connected to the other end of the multiple second electric telescopic rods 81. A fourth drive motor is connected to one side of the connecting plate 82, and the power output shaft of the fourth drive motor passes through the center of the connecting plate 82 and is connected to the clamping component 9. The clamping component 9 includes a clamping disc 91 and rubber grippers 92. The clamping disc 91 is connected to the power output shaft of the fourth drive motor, and multiple rubber grippers 92 are provided, arranged in a circular array on the side wall of the clamping disc 91. An anti-slip rubber ring is provided on one side of the clamping disc 91, and the anti-slip rubber ring is fitted against the side wall of the carton.

[0075] In the above structure, the clamping assembly 9 is driven to rotate by the fourth drive motor. The pneumatic push rod can push the two adjusting assemblies 8 and the clamping assembly 9 to move on the base 7. The clamping assembly 9 clamps and fits against the carton. With the rotation of the clamping assembly 9, the carton can be flipped up and down. The second electric telescopic rod 81 can be raised and lowered to adapt to clamping the center of the carton at different heights to ensure clamping stability. Multiple rubber grippers 92 fit against the side wall of the carton to increase the clamping friction and improve the clamping stability of the carton.

[0076] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
