The present invention facilitates wired communication between the cabinet and the operating terminal by providing contacts on the groove and the operating terminal, and the operating terminal can be powered by the contacts. The cabinet and the operating terminal of the present invention can be wirelessly connected. When the operating terminal is not on the cabinet, the operation information can be transmitted wirelessly, which is convenient for operation. The present invention sets two separation buttons and a lifting mechanism. When the separation button is pressed at the same time, the lifting mechanism rises, so that the operating terminal rises, avoiding accidental touch, and facilitating the disassembly of the operating terminal. The operating terminal of the present invention is provided with a touch screen, and the test mode or test position can be selected through the touch screen.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a detachable belt sorting machine testing device is used for sorting test of the belt sorting machine, and the device includes an upper cabinet 1, an operation terminal 2 and a lifting mechanism, the upper cabinet 1 is equipped with a first groove, the operation terminal 2 is installed in the first groove, the first groove is equipped with a second groove, the lifting mechanism is installed in the second groove, the operation terminal 2 is in contact with the lifting mechanism, the first groove and the operation terminal 2 are both equipped with a communication module, and the upper cabinet 1 is connected to the operation terminal 2 through the communication module; when the lifting mechanism is working, the operation terminal 2 is lifted, and the operation terminal 2 and the upper cabinet 1 use wireless communication, and when the lifting mechanism stops, the operation terminal 2 and the upper cabinet 1 use wired communication.

[0037] The communication module includes contacts 4 and a wireless communication unit. The operation terminal 2 and the lifting mechanism are both equipped with contacts 4, and the operation terminal 2 communicates with the lifting mechanism via wires via the contacts 4; the operation terminal 2 and the lifting mechanism are both equipped with wireless communication units, and the operation terminal 2 communicates with the lifting mechanism via the wireless communication unit.

[0038] In this embodiment, the present invention can install the operation terminal 2 on the upper cabinet 1 for use, or remove the operation terminal 2 from the upper cabinet 1 and use it separately, which can be selected according to actual conditions. The device also includes a lower cabinet 3, and the upper cabinet 1 is installed on the lower cabinet 3, which are combined into a test cabinet; the cables of the belt sorter or other devices are installed in the upper cabinet 1 through the lower cabinet 3 and connected to the communication module, and the communication module installed in the upper cabinet 1 and the operation terminal 2 are used for wired communication or wireless communication. The upper cabinet 1 can be regarded as a relay device for realizing the communication connection between the operation terminal and the belt sorter. The operation terminal 2 can perform wired communication through the contact 4 and the lifting mechanism, and can also power the operation terminal 2 through the contact 4. The operation terminal 2 is provided with a battery, which is powered by the battery when wireless communication is performed. The first groove is a space for placing the operation terminal 2, and the second groove is a space for placing the lifting mechanism. The second groove is installed at the bottom of the first groove.

[0039] The lifting unit includes a de-energized electromagnet 8, a spring 9, a first mounting plate 6, a second mounting plate 7 and a lifting block 10. The lifting block 10 is in contact with the second mounting plate 7. The de-energized electromagnet 8 is mounted on the first mounting plate 6, and the spring 9 is mounted on the first mounting plate 6 and the second mounting plate 7.

[0040] In this embodiment, the control idea of ​​the operation terminal 2 is as follows: when the de-energized electromagnet 8 is not energized, suction is generated to attract the second mounting plate 7 to move downward and compress the spring 9; when the de-energized electromagnet 8 is energized, suction is not generated, and under the action of the spring 9, the second mounting plate 7 moves upward and the lifting block 10 rises, so that the operation terminal 2 pops out of the upper cabinet 1, and the operation terminal 2 can be taken away.

[0041] The lifting unit further includes elastic sheets 11 , which are installed on both sides of the lifting block 10 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the lifting block 10 is placed on the second mounting plate 7 and is movably connected. When the lifting block 10 is lifted by the second mounting plate 7, the elastic sheet 11 exceeds the plane of the second groove, and the elastic sheet 11 unfolds automatically to clamp the lifting block 10 so that it will not retract into the second groove by itself, thereby ensuring that the operation terminal 2 always remains in a pop-up state, making it convenient to take away the operation terminal 2.

[0043] The device further comprises two switch buttons 5 , which are mounted on both sides of the upper cabinet 1 , and are in communication connection with the lifting mechanism. When the two switch buttons 5 are pressed simultaneously, the de-energized electromagnet 8 is energized.

[0051] In this embodiment, the belt sorting machine includes a plurality of steering wheels and a barcode reader, which respectively control the moving direction of the goods during sorting and read the barcode of the goods to confirm the position of the goods. The connection relationship between the servo controller and the servo motor is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the structure of the belt sorter is as follows Figure 5 shown.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, the display screen interface of the operation terminal 2 is provided with corresponding pressure enabling module, photoelectric sorting module and WCS debugging module touch interface, which is simple and convenient for debugging; among them, the pressure enabling module: through the touch screen setting, the idle sorting of the equipment itself can achieve whether the operation is smooth at the mechanical level, such as the movement of the steering wheel; the photoelectric sorting module: before docking with the code reader, the touch screen setting can achieve the virtual barcode of the equipment itself and the actual sorting and data tracking of the goods.

[0053] The device also includes a WCS (Warehouse Control System) host computer, which is communicatively connected to a WCS debugging module. The WCS debugging module includes a WCS invalid submodule and a WCS valid submodule. The WCS invalid submodule: before debugging with the WCS host computer, the touch screen setting can be used to drop the box and the last two digits of the data read by the barcode reader are used to track and sort the box to the crossing; the WCS valid submodule: finally, the WCS host computer is actually connected to the barcode upload and the sending is performed downward to perform the final joint debugging.
