DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The following describes two implementation modes of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] The first implementation method:

[0041] Figure 1-Figure 8 It is shown that an unmanned material intelligent shipping system includes a processor and a shipping device, the shipping device is provided with a delivery mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3 and a detection mechanism 4, and the processor is connected with a detection module, a data processing module and a control module;

[0042] The detection module is used to control the detection mechanism 4 to detect the goods to be delivered; the weight and type of the goods are detected during the detection;

[0043] The data processing module is used to process and analyze the test data and determine the appropriate delivery mode of the goods based on the analysis results;

[0044] The control module is used to control the delivery device to deliver goods. The control module is provided with a safe delivery mode, a fast delivery mode and a one-by-one delivery mode;

[0045] When the safe delivery mode is in operation, the shipping device places the goods into the designated area of ​​the loading vehicle through the lifting mechanism 3;

[0046] When the rapid delivery mode is in operation, the delivery device continuously delivers the goods into the designated area in the loading vehicle through the delivery mechanism 2;

[0047] When the one-by-one delivery mode is working, the logistics are inspected by the detection module before delivery, and the delivery mode is selected according to the type of goods. When the goods are identified as the set type or the weight exceeds the set value, the safe delivery mode is used for delivery, and other goods use the fast delivery mode.

[0048] The shipping system of this solution facilitates the intelligent shipping of mixed types of goods. During the shipping process, it identifies the type and weight of goods, quickly selects the appropriate method for shipping, and facilitates the stacking of goods of different shipping methods in the same location.

[0049] A shipping device of an unmanned material intelligent shipping system, the shipping device comprises a bracket, a cargo collection box 1 is installed on the bracket, and a conveyor belt is installed at the output end of the cargo collection box 1; the cargo collection box 1 adopts a cargo storage device in the prior art, and a device for cargo output is arranged in the cargo collection box 1, and is installed by a person skilled in the art using a suitable device in the prior art;

[0050] The delivery mechanism 2 and the lifting mechanism 3 are respectively arranged at the lower end and the side end of the cargo collection box 1;

[0051] The delivery mechanism 2 includes a buffer table 21, a delivery slide 22 is hinged on the buffer table 21, and a first electric push plate is fixedly connected to the buffer table 21; a stepper motor matching the delivery slide 22 is installed on the buffer table 21; the stepper motor is used to adjust the inclination angle of the delivery slide 22;

[0052] The lifting mechanism 3 includes a fixed frame 31, in which a lifting device is installed, and a movable end of the lifting device is fixedly connected to a conveying plate 32, and the conveying plate 32 includes a fixed plate 321, one end of the fixed plate 321 is rotatably connected to a bearing plate 322 through a hinge shaft, and an electric push rod 323 is connected between the other end of the fixed plate 321 and the bearing plate 322, and the movable end of the electric push rod 323 is hinged to one end of the bearing plate 322, and when the electric push rod 323 is extended, the bearing plate 322 is tilted;

[0053] The output end of the conveyor belt is provided with a detection mechanism 4 matched with the delivery mechanism 2 and the lifting mechanism 3. The detection mechanism 4 includes a movable plate 41. One end of the movable plate 41 is fixedly connected to a support plate 42. The top of the support plate 42 is fixedly connected to an image recognizer 43. An electric telescopic rod is connected between the support plate 42 and the bracket. A weighing sensor is installed on the movable plate 41.

[0054] The output end of the delivery slide 22 is fixedly connected to the limit frame 5 , a through hole matching the conveying plate 32 is opened in the middle of the limit frame 5 , and a connecting rod is connected between the limit frame 5 and the lifting mechanism 3 .

[0055] The lifting mechanism 3 adopts the existing technology and is installed by a person skilled in the art using a lifting device in the existing technology that can realize vertical lifting and transportation, such as a vertical conveyor, a vertical guide rail and a vertical traction machine;

[0056] The maximum movement position point of the movable end of the lifting mechanism 3 is located at the lower side of the limit frame 5;

[0057] An image acquisition device and a laser ranging sensor are installed at the lower end of the limit frame 5, and a laser counting sensor is installed inside the limit frame 5. The image acquisition device and the laser ranging sensor are used to monitor the distance between the limit frame 5 and the collection box, and the laser counting sensor is used to detect whether the goods have passed through the limit frame 5 to complete the delivery after the delivery mechanism 2 or the lifting mechanism 3 works.

[0058] When the detection module detects the goods, it performs image detection through the image recognition device, identifies the QR code and the type of goods during image detection, and measures the weight through the weighing sensor. When it is detected that the weight of the goods exceeds the set value A or is identified as a specified type, the goods are pushed to the lifting mechanism 3 for safe delivery; otherwise, the electric push rod on the detection mechanism 4 shrinks and moves away from the conveyor belt, and at the same time the first electric push plate pushes the goods, so that the goods are pushed down from the movable plate 41 to the buffer table 21.

[0059] Second implementation method:

[0060] Figure 4-Figure 6 It is shown that a waiting area is set at the input end of the lifting device, and the waiting area includes an electric conveyor belt. Counting sensors are installed at the input and output ends of the waiting area. When the number of goods waiting in the waiting area exceeds the set number, the transportation of the goods is stopped. A conveyor belt is connected between the input end of the waiting area and the goods collection box 1. A lateral electric push plate matching the conveyor belt is installed at the input end of the delivery area. A temporary storage area connected to the conveyor belt is set in the goods collection box 1.

[0061] When the conveying plate 32 descends to the set distance from the limit frame 5, it is determined whether the delivery mechanism 2 has completed the delivery of the goods. If not, the descent of the conveying plate 32 is suspended. After the delivery of the goods is completed, the descent of the conveying plate 32 is resumed.

[0062] When the shipping device of this solution is working, the goods in the cargo collection box 1 are transported to the detection mechanism 4 one by one through the conveyor belt;

[0063] If the delivery device is set to the fast delivery mode, the electric push rod on the detection mechanism 4 will be retracted to make the detection mechanism 4 away from the output end of the conveyor belt. At this time, the goods output by the conveyor belt will directly fall onto the delivery mechanism 2; after the goods fall on the buffer table 21, the first electric push plate will be controlled to work, so that the first electric push plate will push the goods on the buffer table 21 to the delivery slide 22, and the goods will slide along the delivery slide 22 to the limit frame 5, and then be shipped to the collection box sent down through the limit frame 5;

[0064] If the shipping device is set to the safe delivery mode, the electric push rod on the detection mechanism 4 is extended to move the detection mechanism 4 to the output end of the conveyor belt. At this time, the goods output by the conveyor belt first fall onto the movable plate 41, and then the second electric push plate is used to push the goods to the waiting delivery area. After passing through the waiting delivery area, the goods enter the conveying plate 32 of the lifting mechanism 3, and the lifting mechanism 3 is used to lower the goods into the collection box. Finally, the electric push rod 323 is used to tilt the load plate 322, and then the materials are tilted and unloaded into the material box.

[0065] When the delivery device is set to the one-by-one delivery mode, the electric push rod on the detection mechanism 4 is extended to move the detection mechanism 4 to the output end of the conveyor belt. At this time, the goods output by the conveyor belt first fall onto the movable plate 41, and then the detection mechanism 4 identifies and detects the goods. According to the type and weight of the goods, it is set to use the safe delivery mode or the fast delivery mode;

[0066] If the fast delivery mode is set, the electric push rod on the detection mechanism 4 shrinks and moves away from the conveyor belt, and at the same time the first electric push plate pushes the goods, so that the goods are pushed down from the movable plate 41, and the pushed down goods fall onto the buffer table 21, and then are quickly delivered;

[0067] If the safe delivery mode is set, the first electric push plate pushes the goods toward the lifting mechanism 3 for safe delivery.

[0068] The shipping device of this solution facilitates the switching and rapid adjustment of the shipping loading of goods, facilitates the safe delivery of goods at a low height or the rapid delivery of goods at a higher height, and ensures the safety and efficiency of cargo delivery.

[0069] The third implementation method:

[0070] Figure 7 As shown, a rotating shaft is connected between the delivery mechanism 2 and the bracket, and a stepping motor matching the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bracket. The motor is used to drive the delivery mechanism 2 to rotate, so that the delivery mechanism 2 and the lifting mechanism 3 operate independently of each other;

[0071] A slide groove matching the delivery slide 22 is provided at the top of the limit frame 5, and a limit strip 51 is slidably connected in the slide groove. Both ends of the limit strip 51 are fixedly connected with sliders matching the slide groove, and the sliders are threadedly connected with fixing bolts. The slide groove is provided with a plurality of threaded grooves matching the fixing bolts. An electric latch is connected between the limit frame 5 and the bottom end of the lifting device; the limit frame 5 can be separated from the lifting mechanism 3 and the delivery mechanism 2; a pair of blocks are fixedly connected to the side walls of the bottom end of the delivery slide 22. When the limit strip 51 is fixed, the slider and the block are abutted against each other to achieve the limitation of the delivery slide 22.

[0072] In this embodiment, the delivery mechanism 2 can be driven by a motor to rotate and move away from the lifting mechanism 3, so that the delivery mechanism 2 and the lifting mechanism 3 can deliver goods to two positions during delivery.

[0073] In summary, this solution facilitates the intelligent shipment of various types of goods. During the shipment process, the type and weight of the goods can be identified, and the appropriate method of shipment can be quickly selected to ensure that the goods are not easily damaged during delivery, and goods with different shipping methods can be easily stacked in designated locations.

[0074] In view of current practical needs, the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to the scope of protection. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
