[0012] Furthermore, the box pusher bracket includes a fixed seat pallet and a non-return elastic block assembly elastically connected to both ends of the fixed seat pallet. The non-return elastic block assembly allows the turnover box to pass in one direction and has a reverse non-return effect. The running direction of the fixed seat pallet carrying the turnover box and the conveying direction of the turnover box on the access conveyor line form an angle of 90° in the horizontal range.

[0013] Furthermore, the anti-return elastic block assembly has a base installed on the fixed seat support plate, one end of the anti-return block is horizontally axially arranged on the base through a rotating axis, and the other end thereof vertically abuts against a anti-return spring arranged inside the base.

[0014] Furthermore, the push box drive assembly includes a transmission chain driven by a servo motor, and the fixed seat support plate is fixedly connected to the transmission chain by an array of chain buckles; the transmission chain is closed-loop wound around the driven sprocket and the transmission sprocket, while part of the transmission chain is slidably embedded in the chain guide and slides back and forth in the horizontal direction; the transmission sprocket is mounted on the transmission shaft through a bearing sleeve, and the servo motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate through a group of chain sprocket assemblies, while the transmission sprocket drives the transmission chain to reciprocate.

[0017] First, the empty turnover box is transported from the empty box conveyor line to the box pusher, and the sorted cargo packages are collected under the sorting grid. When the turnover box reaches the full box state, the full box detection photoelectric component sends a signal to the WCS system to request to build packages for all the packages in the turnover box.

[0040] Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 to 14 As shown, the present application proposes a novel grid-pushing box transfer system, which is arranged and connected between the empty box conveying line and the full box conveying line of the automatic package collection and conveying system.

[0041] The said slot box pushing and transferring system comprises a slot box pushing machine 1 arranged at the sorting slot to connect the empty turnover box 4 from the empty box conveying line (not shown in the figure) and remove the turnover box 4 after the goods collection is completed, and a transition conveying line 3 and a transfer machine 2 connected in sequence to transfer the turnover box 4 in the full box state to the full box conveying line (not shown in the figure). The turnover box 4 completes the whole process of slot collection, box pushing and removal and transfer and transferring on the conveying plane with the same height after the slot box pushing machine 1, the transition conveying line 3 and the transfer machine 2 are connected.

[0042] The slot box pusher 1 is arranged at the sorting slot of the cargo sorting and conveying system (such as a cross-belt sorting line). When the turnover box 4 is connected from the empty box conveying line, it can stop under the sorting slot to collect cargo packages.

[0043] The transition conveyor line 3 may preferably be a roller conveyor line to convey the full turnover boxes 4 from the box pusher 1 to the transfer machine 2.

[0044] The transfer machines 2 are two groups connected at 90 degrees to each other. Each group of transfer machines 2 has the same structure. The turnover boxes 4 in the full box state are continuously turned and transported by the two groups of transfer machines 2, and then transferred into the full box conveyor line in the same direction as entering the grid pusher 1.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above-mentioned box-pushing and box-transferring system, the following box-pushing and box-transferring method can be implemented:

[0046] First, the empty turnover box 4 is transported from the empty box conveyor line to the slot pusher 1, and the sorted cargo parcels are collected under the sorting slot; when the turnover box 4 reaches the full box state, the full box detection photoelectric component sends a signal to the WCS system to request to build a package for all the parcels in the turnover box 4;

[0047] Then, the box pusher 1 pushes out the full box 4 horizontally, and transfers it horizontally to the transfer machine 2 via the transition conveyor line 3;

[0048] Secondly, two groups of transfer machines 2 connected at 90 degrees to each other sequentially complete the horizontal shifting of the turnover boxes 4;

[0049] Finally, the turnover box 4 is horizontally transferred to the full box conveyor line.

[0050] The grid box pushing machine 1 includes an access conveyor line 101 connected to the empty box conveyor line and located below the sorting grid (not shown in the figure), and a box pushing device connected to the transition conveyor line 3 and used to push the turnover box 4 in a full box state from the access conveyor line 101 to the transition conveyor line 3.

[0051] Wherein, the access conveyor line 101 may preferably be a conveying device such as a roller conveyor line, a narrow belt conveyor, etc.;

[0052] The box pushing device comprises two sets of parallel guide rails 103, a turnover box arrival detection device 104 located between the guide rails 103, a limit baffle assembly 105 located on the side of the guide rails 103, and two sets of parallel box pushing brackets 102 driven by a box pushing drive assembly 106;

[0053] Specifically, the turnover box arrival detection device 104 is arranged vertically below the guide rail 103, and it can be preferably an RFID detection device, and an RFID chip is installed at the bottom of the turnover box 4 accordingly; when the turnover box 4 is pushed from the access conveyor line 101 to the transition conveyor line 3 by the box pushing device, the turnover box arrival detection device 104 can send the identity and arrival information of the turnover box 4 to the WCS system or the package collection PLC by reading and identifying the information in the RFID chip;

[0054] The guide rail 103 is composed of a left rail component 1031 and a right rail component 1032 that are bent and welded to each other. A concave sliding groove is formed between the left rail component 1031 and the right rail component 1032 to provide a linear sliding track for the push box bracket 102. The entrance of the sliding groove is formed in a trumpet shape that is open to the outside to guide and limit the push box bracket 102 to slide into the sliding groove.

[0055] The limit baffle assembly 105 includes a side baffle connected to the side of the guide track 103, and an outer baffle 1051 extending obliquely upward at the inner end of the side baffle. The connection point of the outer baffle 1051 connecting the side baffle is higher than the guide track 103. When the turnover box 4 enters the guide track 103 along the bell mouth formed between the left track assembly 1031 and the right track assembly 1032, the bottom of the turnover box 4 is limited left and right by the side baffle of the limit baffle assembly 105. When the turnover box 4 is pushed forward again from a static state, the front part may easily rise due to excessive thrust. In this regard, the outer baffle 1051 can limit the bottom of the turnover box 4 downward, so that it can smoothly move along and maintain a stable pushing state.

[0056] The box pusher support 102 includes a fixed seat support plate 114 and a non-return elastic block assembly 102-1 elastically connected to both ends of the fixed seat support plate 114. The non-return elastic block assembly 102-1 allows the turnover box 4 to pass in one direction and has a reverse non-return function. The running direction of the fixed seat support plate 114 carrying the turnover box 4 and the conveying direction of the turnover box 4 on the access conveyor line 101 form an angle of 90° in the horizontal range.

[0057] Furthermore, the non-return elastic block assembly 102-1 has a base 1023 installed on the fixed seat support plate 114, one end of the non-return block 1021 is horizontally axially arranged on the base 1023 through the rotating shaft 1022, and the other end thereof vertically abuts against a non-return spring 1024 arranged inside the base 1023; when the turnover box 4 passes through the non-return elastic block assembly 102-1 from the side of the rotating shaft 1022, the turnover box 4 presses down the non-return block 1021 and compresses the non-return spring 1024, and the non-return spring 1024 is compressed and retracted inside the base 1023 to store energy; after the turnover box 4 passes through the non-return elastic block assembly 102-1, the non-return spring 1024 bounces the non-return block 1021 upward, and when the turnover box 4 moves in the opposite direction, it is stopped by the non-return block 1021, so that the turnover box 4 can be pushed by the push box bracket 102 to be transported from the side of the access conveyor line 101 to the side of the transition conveyor line 3.

[0058] The push box driving assembly 106 includes a transmission chain 111 driven by a servo motor 108, and a fixed seat support plate 114 is fixedly connected to the transmission chain 111 through an array of chain buckles 113;

[0059] Furthermore, the transmission chain 111 is wound around the driven sprocket 107 and the transmission sprocket 110 in a closed loop, and a portion of the transmission chain 111 is slidably embedded in the chain guide 112 and slides back and forth in the horizontal direction; the transmission sprocket 110 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 109 through a bearing, and the servo motor 108 drives the transmission shaft 109 to rotate through a set of chain and sprocket assemblies, while the transmission sprocket 110 drives the transmission chain 111 to reciprocate;

[0060] When the turnover box 4 (or the turnover box 4 carried on the pallet) is transported to the access conveyor line 101 below the sorting grid, it is also located on the upper part of the box pusher support 102 of the box pusher device. Driven by the servo motor 108, the transmission chain 111 drives the fixed seat pallet 114 to be pushed out in the horizontal direction. The turnover box 4 (or pallet) is first reversed by the check block 1021, and the fixed seat pallet 114 continues to run horizontally and is pushed forward synchronously by the check block 1021; then it enters the guide track 103 through the limit baffle assembly 105, and the turnover box 4 and the cargo information therein are identified when passing through the turnover box in place detection device 104, and the identification result is uploaded to the WCS system; then, the box pusher device completely pushes the turnover box 4 away from the grid pusher 1 and places it on the transition conveyor line 3, and the transition conveyor line 3 continues to transport the turnover box 4 to the transfer machine 2.

[0061] The transition conveyor line 3 may preferably be a conveying device such as a roller conveyor line, a narrow belt conveyor, etc.;

[0062] The transfer machine 2 includes a frame 209, on which a transfer conveyor line 204 having the same conveying direction and height as the transition conveyor line 3 and connected thereto is arranged, a transition plate 202 for blocking and limiting the turnover box 4 is arranged at the end of the conveying direction of the transfer conveyor line 204, and a push rod assembly 201 for pushing out the turnover box 4 at an angle of 90° along the conveying direction of the transfer conveyor line 204 is arranged on one side of the transfer conveyor line 204;

[0063] The transfer conveyor line 204 may preferably be a conveying device such as a roller conveyor line or a narrow belt conveyor;

[0064] The push rod assembly 201 includes a push rod transmission shaft 2014 driven by a push rod reduction motor 205 through a gear chain group 2013, both ends of the push rod transmission shaft 2014 are axially arranged on a frame 209, two groups of push rod driving gears 208 are sleeved on the push rod transmission shaft 2014, and a group of push rod transmission chains 2012 are closed-loop connected between each group of push rod driving gears 208 and a group of driven gears axially arranged at the other end of the frame 209, and a group of push rod 2011 that runs horizontally to push the turnover box 4 is fixedly connected between the two groups of push rod transmission chains 2012;

[0065] In order to improve the horizontal trajectory and stability of each set of transmission chains 2012 during operation, two sets of parallel push rod chain guide rails 207 with concave linear grooves are arranged on the frame 209, and a part of the push rod transmission chain 2012 is slidably embedded in the grooves of the push rod chain guide rails 207 and reciprocates in a linear direction.

[0066] In order to improve the accuracy of monitoring the running distance of the push rod 2011 pushing the turnover box 4, a slot-shaped photoelectric 203 with a side opening is set on one side of the frame 209. Correspondingly, a group of detection plates 201-1 are installed on the side end of the push rod 2011. When the push rod 2011 moves along the surface of the transfer conveyor line 204, the detection plate 201-1 passes through the side opening of the slot-shaped photoelectric 203 in the horizontal direction, thereby triggering a photoelectric detection signal. The signal is uploaded to the WCS system or the package collection PLC to generate the starting origin of the running trajectory of the push rod 2011 to push the turnover box 4 to make a 90° turn, and then track and calculate the distance value of the push rod 2011 pushing the turnover box 4 to run.

[0067] Furthermore, the two ends of the push rod 2011 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the push rod transmission chain 2012 through the chain buckle 208, so that when part of the push rod transmission chain 2012 slides and is embedded in the groove of the push rod chain guide rail 207, the two ends of the push rod 2011 and the push rod chain guide rail 207 do not interfere with each other. At the same time, the fixed connection through the chain buckle 208 also helps to improve the tightness of the connection between the push rod 2011 and the push rod transmission chain 2012.

[0068] The two groups of transfer machines 2 are spliced ​​at 90° to each other, and the turnover box 4 continuously makes two 90° turns at the same height on the two groups of transfer machines 2. When the turnover box 4 enters the subsequent full box conveyor line, it can maintain the same direction of conveyance as entering the grid pusher 1, thereby completing a complete transfer process from an empty box to a full box state.
