Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics sorting, and in particular to a mechanical plate turning mechanism with a bidirectional plate turning function. Background Art

[0002] The sorting system is a material handling system that classifies random, differently oriented items according to certain requirements. In recent years, the logistics industry has developed rapidly, and various automatic and semi-automatic sorting equipment has been developed and applied to actual sorting operations. Among them, the flip mechanism is a movable device with a flip pallet for carrying goods. When the pallet trolley brings the pallet to the designated sorting grid, the pallet is tilted at a certain angle, and the goods on the pallet can be unloaded into the bag corresponding to the sorting grid.

[0003] At present, there are two main types of flipping mechanisms used in analysis systems, one is a magnetic flipping mechanism, and the other is a mechanical flipping mechanism. When using this magnetic flipping mechanism, an electromagnet is often installed on the pallet. When sorting goods, it is necessary to electrically control the electromagnet to tilt the pallet to one side, and then dump the goods to the specified position. The electromagnet on the pallet will also follow the movement, so the design requirements for the wire structure connected to the electromagnet are high, otherwise it is easy to fail. If this flipping mechanism is applied to the actual sorting system, the overall layout of the wire structure will be more complicated, and the possibility of failure is also greater. At the same time, the overall cost of the magnetic flipping mechanism is high, and the noise during the overall operation is also large, which brings great harm to the sorting personnel.

[0004] In order to reduce the failure rate of the sorting system, the noise of the sorting environment and the cost, mechanical flipping mechanisms have been widely used in sorting systems. Although the mechanical flipping mechanisms in the prior art have solved the problems of high failure rate, high noise and high cost, the overall stability of the existing mechanical flipping mechanisms is poor, and it is difficult to sort the goods placed on the pallet to the corresponding grids in time; in addition, the overall sorting efficiency of the existing mechanical flipping mechanisms is low, and they can only sort goods in one direction, and cannot complete two-way sorting of goods, which brings great inconvenience to the goods sorting work of the mechanical flipping mechanisms. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a mechanical flipping mechanism with a two-way flipping function. The overall design of the mechanical flipping mechanism is reasonable, the structure is simple, and the operation is convenient. The use of the mechanical flipping structure not only has a low failure rate, low noise and low cost, but also the overall stability of the mechanical flipping mechanism is good, and the goods placed on the pallet can be sorted to the corresponding grid in time; at the same time, the overall sorting efficiency of the mechanical flipping mechanism is high, and two-way sorting of goods can be realized, which brings great convenience to the goods sorting work of the mechanical flipping mechanism.
