Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the development of manufacturing industry, the automation of equipment production lines has been increasing, the logistics volume of products and parts has increased significantly, and the transportation routes have become more complex and diversified. This has led to a sharp increase in the demand for efficient transfer of goods between different transportation lines. At present, the complex task of handling multi-directional logistics sorting mainly relies on the technical solution of belt drive combined with rotating units. This solution realizes the direction conversion of logistics transmission through the overall rotation of the transmission unit node.

[0003] However, this technical solution has limitations. When the goods arrive at the transport turning node, the conveying unit needs to rotate as a whole to complete the turn and continue to transport the goods. Therefore, during the process of goods turning, each rotation of the transport unit can usually only achieve a single, specific direction change. When the goods frequently change direction on the transport line, this limitation will significantly restrict the overall transportation efficiency of the production line.

[0025] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 It is a split-belt type multi-directional logistics sorting system, including a sorting device assembly component 6, an automatic identification system 7 used in conjunction with the sorting device assembly component 6, and a logistics feed transmission unit 1, a first logistics outlet 3, a second logistics outlet 4, and a third logistics outlet 5 respectively arranged around the sorting device assembly component 6.

[0026] Among them, the automatic identification system 7 includes a camera, a camera bracket and a data processing unit; the camera is installed above the sorting device assembly component through the camera bracket to capture image information of the logistics, the data processing unit is connected to the camera, processes the image information, identifies the type of logistics, and transmits the identification result to the control circuit to control the action of the sorting device assembly component.

[0027] The sorting device assembly includes an integral bracket 8, a control circuit 9, a belt sliding metal strip device 10, a belt drive unit 11, and a chain drive unit 12. The integral bracket 8 is connected to the belt drive unit 11 and the chain drive unit 12 by bolts, and the control circuit 9 is installed on the motor seat of the belt drive unit 11.

[0028] The integral support 8 includes four transverse beams and four longitudinal beams, which are connected by bolts to form a stable frame structure to provide support for the assembly components of the sorting device.

[0029] In use, the automatic identification system 7 transmits the judgment signal to the control circuit 9 through the color and shape characteristics of different feed logistics 2. The split transmission belt type multi-directional logistics sorting device 6 realizes the independent movement of the belt drive unit 11 and the chain drive unit 12 by the independent control of the speed of the two driving motors through the control circuit 9, so that the load plane can synthesize the driving force in any direction, and different feed logistics 2 can move toward the first logistics outlet 3, the second logistics outlet 4, and the third logistics outlet 5 on the belt sliding metal strip device 10.

[0030] It should be noted that the belt sliding metal strip device 10 includes a sheet metal bearing shell, a pulley row, a metal rifle wheel and a belt. The belt sliding metal strip device 10 is arranged side by side, and a hole is reserved on the surface of the sheet metal bearing shell, and is connected to the bent plate transmission chain 19 by bolts pre-installed before the pulley row is welded. The maximum width of the sheet metal bearing shell is less than the spacing between adjacent bent plates of the bent plate transmission chain 19, and the length of the sheet metal bearing shell is correlated with the distance between the plastic omnidirectional drive wheels 13 on both sides and the radius of the plastic omnidirectional drive wheel. The maximum width of the belt is less than the inner width of the sheet metal bearing shell. In order to avoid friction with the sheet metal bearing shell during material transportation and the belt escaping from the moving track, the upper surface of the belt is higher than the highest point of the sheet metal bearing shell, and the lower surface of the belt is lower than the highest point of the sheet metal bearing shell. During the welding process of the pulley row and the sheet metal bearing shell, a positioning pin hole is reserved on the side of the sheet metal bearing shell. Three metal rifle wheels on each side of the belt sliding metal strip device 10 are connected to the sheet metal bearing shell by long bolts, and the arrangement points are triangular. The distance between the two metal rifle wheels at the bottom should be smaller than the diameter of the plastic omnidirectional drive wheels on both sides, and the top of the metal rifle wheel at the top should be slightly higher than the top of the pulley row.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first guide wheel device 15, the belt drive unit deceleration and torque increasing device 16, the first drive motor assembly 17, the speed feedback device 18, the second guide wheel device 20, the drive shaft pulley 22, the chain drive unit deceleration and torque increasing device 23 and the second drive motor assembly 24 are all located within the motion range of the belt sliding metal bar device 10, and their highest points maintain a safe distance from the belt sliding metal bar device 10 to prevent motion interference.

[0032] In this embodiment, the plastic omnidirectional drive wheel 13 of the belt drive unit 11 includes a plurality of plastic omnidirectional drive wheels, each of which is installed at the same angle on the drive wheel shaft, and adopts an interference fit method to ensure that the plastic omnidirectional drive wheel and the drive wheel shaft do not rotate relative to each other. The guide wheel height of the guide wheel device 15 is lower than the highest point of the sprocket 21. The speed feedback device 18 is connected to the first drive motor assembly 17 by a synchronous belt, and the speed signal is calculated according to the number of teeth of the connected synchronous belt wheel and fed back to the control circuit 9.

[0033] In use, the first drive motor assembly 17 drives the speed feedback device 18 and the belt drive unit deceleration torque increasing device 16. The belt drive unit deceleration torque increasing device 16 drives the plastic omnidirectional drive wheel 13 through the guide wheel device 15, so that the belt on the belt sliding metal strip device 10 moves along the surface. It should be noted that the plastic omnidirectional drive wheels 13 on both sides of the device are driven by two identical power systems.

[0034] In this embodiment, the chain drive unit 12 includes a bent plate transmission chain 19, a second guide wheel device 20, a sprocket 21, a drive shaft pulley 22, a chain drive unit deceleration and torque increasing device 23, and a second drive motor assembly 24. In the use state, the second drive motor assembly 24 drives the chain drive unit deceleration and torque increasing device 23, and the chain drive unit deceleration and torque increasing device 23 moves the sprocket 21 and the bent plate transmission chain 19 through the drive shaft pulley 22.

[0035] It should be noted that, between the chain drive unit deceleration and torque increasing device 23 and the drive shaft pulley 22, the second guide wheel device 20 is used to prevent the belt from interfering with the integral bracket 8. The second guide wheel device 20 mainly includes a guide wheel bracket and two guide wheels, and the top of the guide wheel is higher than the top of the integral bracket 8. A tension adjustment device is used during the installation of the second drive motor assembly 24 and the drive shaft pulley 22.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
