AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing cross-belt sorting machines, the parabolic trajectory of packages leads to excessively wide sorting slot entrances or limited sorting trolley speeds, making it impossible to simultaneously increase the number of sorting slots and sorting efficiency.

Method used

In cross-belt sorting machines, a rotary drive component is installed on the conveyor assembly of the lifting sorting machine, enabling it to rotate horizontally and adjust the conveying direction to overcome inertial forces, ensuring that the package movement direction is perpendicular to the sorting machine's movement direction. Combined with a compact grid assembly design, this ensures stable package reception.

Benefits of technology

It enables the increase of the number of sorting slots within the same size or the increase of the operating speed within the same size slots, while reducing the size of the equipment, ensuring accurate sorting of packages and avoiding collisions, detecting abnormal conditions, and facilitating loading and unloading operations.

Abstract

This invention discloses a cross-belt sorter, a lifting sorter, a cross-belt sorting system, and a sorting method thereof. The cross-belt sorter includes a lifting sorter that moves along a track. The lifting sorter includes a lifting mechanism and a conveying assembly driven by the lifting mechanism. A rotary drive assembly is mounted on the lifting mechanism, and a conveying assembly is mounted on the rotary drive assembly to enable the conveying assembly to rotate horizontally about a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the conveying surface of the conveying assembly. This invention allows adjustment of the conveying direction of the conveying assembly during sorting, so that the packages output by the conveying assembly can overcome the inertial force on the packages along the moving direction of the lifting sorter, making the moving direction of the packages closer to being perpendicular to the moving direction of the lifting sorter. This facilitates accurate sorting of packages in smaller sorting slots, allows for more sorting slots within the same size, and / or enables faster loop operation speeds based on sorting slots of the same size.
