Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention mainly relates to the technical field of sorting machines, and in particular to a three-dimensional multi-layer sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] In the modern logistics industry, sorting a large number of goods quickly and accurately is a key link in improving logistics efficiency. Traditional sorting equipment often has problems such as simple structure, single function, and low sorting efficiency. For example, some sorting machines can only perform sorting operations on a single plane, which cannot fully utilize the space, resulting in a large footprint and limited processing capacity; some sorting equipment's lifting mechanism is not stable enough, prone to jamming or low precision, affecting the accurate delivery of goods; the pushing mechanism may also have shortcomings such as insufficient power and inaccurate movements, resulting in the inability to accurately push the goods to the designated location.

[0003] Traditional flat sorters operate only on a single plane, which means they mainly occupy horizontal space. In modern logistics operations, especially when land resources are tight and warehouse rents are high, this flat layout cannot fully utilize vertical space, resulting in low overall space utilization. For example, if a large logistics center uses traditional flat sorters, it may need to occupy a large amount of warehouse floor area, thereby reducing the space available for storing goods and increasing the company's operating costs.

Example

[0018] See attached Figures 1 to 5 A three-dimensional multi-layer sorting machine includes a frame 1, a lifting mechanism 2 is arranged on the frame 1, a lifting plate 3 is arranged on the output end of the lifting mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism 2 drives the lifting plate 3 to move up and down, and a pushing mechanism 4 is arranged on the lifting plate 3. A plurality of conveyors 5 are arranged on one side of the frame 1, and the plurality of conveyors 5 are arranged in parallel from top to bottom. The pushing mechanism 4 pushes the material on the lifting plate 3 to a conveyor 5.

[0019] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a motor 21 fixed to the top of the frame 1. The motor 21 is connected to four screw rods 23 through a transmission assembly 22. A threaded barrel 24 is threadedly mounted on each screw rod 23. The four threaded barrels 24 are at the same height and connected to a connecting block 25. The transmission assembly 22 is composed of a plurality of reducers. The motor 21 and the transmission assembly 22 simultaneously drive the four screw rods 23 to rotate. The screw rods 23 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the lifting plate 3, with two screw rods 23 on each side, and every two threaded barrels 24 are connected to a connecting block 25.

[0020] The lifting mechanism 2 is driven by a motor 21 through a transmission assembly 22 to accurately drive four screws 23 to rotate. The threaded barrel 24 moves on the screw 23 with high precision, so that the lifting plate 3 can accurately stop at a height position corresponding to the target conveyor 5, ensuring accurate transportation of the goods in the vertical direction. The four screws 23 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the lifting plate 3, and every two threaded barrels 24 are connected to a connecting block 25. This structural design makes the lifting mechanism 2 more stable and able to withstand greater weight and load.

[0021] The push mechanism 4 includes a vertical plate 41 vertically fixed on the lifting plate 3, a cylinder 42 is fixedly mounted on the vertical plate 41, one end of the piston rod of the cylinder 42 extends out of the vertical plate 41 and is connected to the push plate 43. Two guide shafts 44 are fixedly mounted on the push plate 43, and the two guide shafts 44 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the cylinder 42. Two linear bearings 45 are arranged on the vertical plate 41, and the guide shafts 44 are slidably mounted in the linear bearings 45.

[0022] The cylinder 42 in the push mechanism 4 pushes the push plate 43, and cooperates with the sliding of the guide shaft 44 in the linear bearing 45 to ensure the accuracy and stability of the moving direction of the push plate 43, and can accurately push the materials to the designated conveyor 5, greatly improving the sorting accuracy. The cooperation between the guide shaft 44 and the linear bearing 45 in the push mechanism 4 further enhances the stability of the movement of the push plate 43 and reduces the probability of failure.

[0023] Working principle: First, the materials to be sorted are placed on the lifting plate 3. At this time, the entire sorting machine is in an initial state, and the lifting plate 3 is located at a suitable initial height position, ready to receive the materials and perform subsequent sorting operations.

[0024] Start the motor 21. After the motor 21 starts working, it drives the four screws 23 to rotate at the same time through the transmission assembly 22. Since the screws 23 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the lifting plate 3, with two screws 23 on each side, and a threaded barrel 24 is installed on each screw 23 through a thread, and the four threaded barrels 24 are at the same height and connected to the connecting block 25, when the screw 23 rotates, the threaded barrel 24 will move up and down along the screw 23, thereby driving the connecting block 25 and the lifting plate 3 connected thereto to move up and down. By accurately controlling the rotation of the motor 21, the lifting plate 3 can be accurately moved to the height position corresponding to the target conveyor 5.

[0025] When the lifting plate 3 reaches the target height, the push mechanism 4 starts to work. The cylinder 42 is started, and the piston rod of the cylinder 42 extends out of the vertical plate 41, pushing the push plate 43 to move in the direction of the target conveyor 5. During the movement of the push plate 43, the two guide shafts 44 fixedly mounted on the push plate 43 will slide in the two linear bearings 45 on the vertical plate 41, ensuring that the moving direction of the push plate 43 is accurate and stable.

[0026] The push plate 43 pushes the material on the lifting plate 3 to the corresponding conveyor 5. A plurality of conveyors 5 are arranged in parallel from top to bottom, and each conveyor 5 can transport the material to different locations for further processing or storage.

[0027] After completing a sorting operation, the above steps are repeated according to the sorting requirements of the next material, the height of the lifting plate 3 is adjusted again, and the material is pushed to the corresponding conveyor 5 through the pushing mechanism 4, and this cycle is repeated to achieve efficient three-dimensional multi-layer sorting operations.

[0028] The present application can quickly and accurately sort different types of goods onto different conveyors, and then transport them to specific locations for further processing or storage, greatly improving the efficiency of logistics sorting. Through the three-dimensional multi-layer design, the spatial resources are rationally integrated, making logistics operations more orderly, reducing the chaos and congestion of goods during the sorting process, and providing a strong guarantee for the smooth operation of the entire logistics process. For example, different conveyors can correspond to different destinations or types of goods, making sorting more accurate and efficient. The present application adopts a three-dimensional multi-layer structure to make full use of the vertical space. Compared with traditional planar sorting machines, it can handle more goods with the same floor space, and is particularly suitable for logistics centers and warehouses with limited space.

[0029] The above-described embodiments only express a certain implementation mode of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
