Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of logistics sorting, and in particular to a robot sorting device and a sorting method. Background Art

[0002] Logistics refers to the whole process of planning, implementing and managing the transportation, storage and distribution of raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products and related information from the place of production to the place of consumption of goods in order to meet the needs of customers at the lowest cost. Logistics sorting refers to the classification and stacking of items according to their types and the order of entry and exit. It is an important link in logistics distribution. It improves delivery and supports the preparatory work for delivery. It is an inevitable extension of the competition and improvement of the economic benefits of different distribution companies during delivery. Sorting operation can be regarded as an inevitable requirement for the development of delivery to a higher form.

[0003] For example, the prior art provides a patent document entitled "A Cargo Sorting Robot for Logistics Management" with a publication number of CN215844289U, which discloses a base, a conveying device and a scanning device, wherein the base includes a base and a universal wheel, the conveying device includes a conveying mechanism and a height adjustment mechanism, the scanning device includes a scanning device and a fixing mechanism, the fixing mechanism includes a second fixing seat and a third fixing seat, the second fixing seat is provided with an inner cavity, the second fixing seat is provided with a second limiting hole, the third fixing seat is provided with a scanning device fixing seat, the third fixing seat is provided with a third limiting hole, and the scanning device is fixed on the scanning device fixing seat. On the fixed seat, the setting of the universal wheels facilitates the movement of the robot. Due to the setting of the conveying device, the logistics can be quickly sorted and the efficiency of logistics sorting can be improved. Due to the setting of the scanning device, the automatic entry and exit records of the logistics can be realized. Although the above technical scheme can automatically record the entry and exit of the goods during the sorting and transportation of the goods, it does not have the function of effectively distinguishing and classifying the categories of the goods sorted on the top of the conveyor belt during use, resulting in different categories of goods being mixed together, which often requires manual classification later.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a robot sorting device, including: a conveying mechanism 1, an identification mechanism 2 and a control device 3; the identification mechanism 2 is arranged on the conveying mechanism 1, and a material dividing mechanism 4 is arranged at the rear end of the conveying mechanism 1, and a material pushing mechanism 5 is transmission-connected to the material dividing mechanism 4, a first material guiding platform 7 is arranged on one side of the rear end of the conveying mechanism 1, and a second material guiding platform 8 is arranged on the other side of the rear end of the conveying mechanism 1, a material pushing driving mechanism 6 is arranged on the material dividing mechanism 4, and the material pushing driving mechanism 6 is transmission-connected to the material pushing mechanism 5, and the conveying mechanism 1, the identification mechanism 2, the material dividing mechanism 4 and the material pushing driving mechanism 6 are all electrically connected to the control device 3.

[0035] In actual application, the conveying mechanism 1 is used to convey goods, and the identification mechanism 2 is located in front of the material distribution mechanism 4. The identification mechanism 2 is used to identify the goods conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1, so as to obtain the sorting information of the goods. The control device 3 controls the driving of the material distribution mechanism 4 according to the sorting information, and conveys the pushing mechanism 5 to the corresponding material guide platform, such as the first material guide platform 7 or the second material guide platform 8. When the goods are conveyed to the pushing mechanism 5 under the conveying action of the conveying mechanism 1, the pushing drive mechanism 6 drives the pushing mechanism 5 to push the goods, and pushes the goods to the corresponding material guide platform to complete the automatic sorting of the goods. Specifically, the control device 3 includes: a processor, a single chip microcomputer, an MCU, etc., and the third material guide platform 9, the fourth material guide platform, etc. can be set on the side of the conveying mechanism 1. The number of the material guide platforms is determined according to the type of goods to be sorted.

[0036] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pushing mechanism 5 includes: a pushing plate 51, a pushing transmission assembly 52 and a connecting member 53; the connecting member 53 is drivingly connected to the material dividing mechanism 4, the pushing transmission assembly 52 is drivingly connected to the pushing drive mechanism 6, and the pushing plate 51 is arranged on the pushing transmission assembly 52.

[0037] In practical applications, the connecting member 53 is a box, and part of the push drive mechanism 6 is arranged in the box, and the rest of the push drive mechanism 6 is arranged outside the box after passing through the box. The box protects the push mechanism 5, and the push mechanism 5 is arranged at the bottom of the box to facilitate the pushing of the goods. By arranging a push plate 51 on the push transmission assembly 52, when the goods are transported to the push mechanism 5, the push drive mechanism 6 drives the push transmission assembly 52 to move, and the push transmission assembly 52 drives the push plate 51 to drive the goods to move to the corresponding guide platform, so as to transport the goods to the first guide platform 7 or the second guide platform 8. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the first guide platform 7 and the upper surface of the second guide platform 8 are both movably connected with guide rollers through bearings. Through the arrangement of the guide rollers, the friction between the goods and the guide platform during the sorting process is effectively reduced, so that the goods can slide quickly.

[0038] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the push drive assembly 52 includes: a first synchronous wheel 521, a second synchronous wheel 522, a synchronous belt 523, a support plate 524 and at least one vertical rod 525; a driving rod 527 is rotatably arranged on the connecting member 53, the first synchronous wheel 521 is arranged on the driving rod 527, the second synchronous wheel 522 is rotatably arranged on the connecting member 53, one end of the synchronous belt 523 is overlapped on the first synchronous wheel 521, and the other end of the synchronous belt 523 is overlapped on the second synchronous wheel 522, the push drive member 66 and the driving rod 527 is transmission connected, the driving rod 527 is transmission connected to the first synchronous wheel 521, one end of the support plate 524 is rotationally connected to the first synchronous wheel 521, the other end of the support plate 524 is rotationally connected to the second synchronous wheel 522, one end of the vertical rod 525 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 53, the other end of the vertical rod 525 is fixedly connected to the support plate 524, a support roller 526 is rotatably connected to the vertical rod 525, the support roller 526 abuts against the inner side of the synchronous belt 523, and the push plate 51 is set on the synchronous belt 523.

[0039] In actual application, the first synchronous wheel 521 and the second synchronous wheel 522 are arranged vertically. When the material distribution mechanism 4 transports the pushing mechanism 5 to the corresponding entrance of the material guide platform, the push plate 51 is facing the entrance of the material guide platform, and the pushing drive mechanism 6 drives the driving rod 527 to rotate, and the driving rod 527 drives the first synchronous wheel 521, the synchronous belt 523 and the second synchronous wheel 522 to rotate, and the synchronous belt 523 drives the push plate 51 to move, and the push plate 51 drives the goods to move toward the corresponding material guide platform during the movement. Through the arrangement of the vertical rod 525, the support roller 526 and the support plate 524, the middle area of ​​the synchronous belt 523 and the bottom of the first synchronous wheel 521 and the second synchronous wheel 522 can be supported respectively, which effectively reduces the probability of the synchronous belt 523, the first synchronous wheel 521 and the second synchronous wheel 522 tilting due to force during use.

[0040] Specifically, a proximity switch 511 is provided on the push plate 51, and the proximity switch 511 is electrically connected to the control device 3. The proximity switch 511 is used to detect whether the goods are at the push mechanism 5. If so, the control device 3 controls the push drive mechanism 6 to drive the drive rod 527 to rotate. If not, the control device 3 controls the drive rod 527 of the push drive mechanism 6 to stop rotating. Two push plates 51 are provided on the synchronous belt 523, and the two push plates 51 are symmetrically arranged along the center of the synchronous belt 523. Each push plate 51 is provided with a proximity switch 511. In the process of sorting goods, by providing two push plates 51, after the first push plate 51 completes the pushing of the previous goods, the second push plate 51 can push the next goods without waiting for the first push plate 51 to push the next goods, thereby improving the pushing efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the pushing mechanism 5 also includes: a rotating shaft 54, a guide plate 55, a lifting frame 56 and a lifting transmission assembly 57; the rotating shaft 54 ​​is rotatably set on the connecting member 53, the guide plate 55 is set on the rotating shaft 54, the lifting frame 56 is slidably set on the connecting member 53, the upper surface of the guide plate 55 is provided with an inclined surface, the lifting frame 56 can abut against the inclined surface of the guide plate 55, the lifting transmission assembly 57 is transmission-connected to the driving rod 527, and the lifting transmission assembly 57 is transmission-connected to the guide plate 55.

[0042] In actual application, the rotating shaft 54 ​​is arranged vertically, and the inclined surface of the guide plate 55 is inclined along the circumferential direction. The lifting transmission assembly 57 includes: a first bevel gear 64571, a connecting rod 573 and a support block 575. The support block 575 is arranged on the connecting member 53, and the connecting rod 573 is rotatably arranged on the support rod. The first bevel gear 64571 is transmission-connected with the driving rod 527, and a second bevel gear 64572 is arranged at one end of the connecting rod 573, and a third bevel gear 64574 is arranged at the other end of the connecting rod 573. A gear ring 576 is arranged at the bottom of the guide plate 55, and the first bevel gear 64571 and the second bevel gear 64572 are meshingly connected, and the third bevel gear 64574 is meshingly connected with the gear ring 576. The push drive member 66 drives the drive rod 527 to rotate, the drive rod 527 drives the first bevel gear 64571 to rotate, the first bevel gear 64571 drives the second bevel gear 64572, the connecting rod 573 and the third bevel gear 64574 to rotate, the third bevel gear 64574 drives the gear ring 576 and the guide plate 55 to rotate, and the guide plate 55 rotates during the rotation of the guide plate 55, so that the lifting frame 56 rotates along the inclined surface to lift the lifting frame 56, so that the lifting frame 56 lifts the goods from the conveying mechanism 1, and reduces the resistance of the push plate 51 when pushing the goods. The purpose of supporting the connecting rod 573 is achieved by setting the support plate 524, and the connecting rod 573 is effectively prevented from tilting due to the force.

[0043] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the lifting frame 56 includes: a moving rod 561 and a main rod 562; the moving rod 561 is slidably set on the connecting member 53, one end of the moving rod 561 abuts against the upper surface of the guide plate 55, and the other end of the moving rod 561 is fixedly connected to the main rod 562, and a plurality of L-shaped lifting rods 563 are arranged on the main rod 562. The conveying mechanism 1 is a plate conveyor, and a plurality of accommodating grooves 11 corresponding to the plurality of lifting rods 563 are opened on the slats of the plate conveyor.

[0044] In actual application, when the goods have not reached the pushing mechanism 5, the lifting rod 563 is located in the receiving groove 11. At this time, it is convenient for the conveying mechanism 1 to transport the goods. When pushing is required, the guide plate 55 rotates under the drive of the lifting transmission assembly 57. During the rotation, the inclined surface continuously lifts the moving rod 561, the main rod 562 and the lifting rod 563, so that the lifting rod 563 gradually moves away from the receiving groove 11, thereby realizing the lifting of the goods by the lifting rod 563.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, the upper surface of the lifting rod 563 is movably provided with a ball 567, which can contact the bottom of the goods, thereby effectively reducing the friction between the bottom of the goods and the plate conveyor, and facilitating the push plate 51 to quickly push the goods to unload, ensuring that the goods sorting operation can be carried out quickly and stably. Through the arrangement of the guide slide bar 564 and the third spring 566, the lifting frame 56 can be effectively guided to prevent the lifting frame 56 from tilting during the movement, and the third spring 566 can be compressed during the upward movement of the lifting frame 56, so that the third spring 566 can generate tension on the lifting frame 56, so that after the guide plate 55 rotates one circle, the third spring 566 can push the lifting frame 56 to move downward and reset.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, a guide slide bar 564 is slidably provided on the main rod 562, and the guide slide bar 564 is vertically provided. The guide slide bar 564 is a U-shaped rod, the middle part of which is slidably connected to the main rod 562, and the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the box body. A connecting block 565 is provided on the top of the guide slide bar 564, and a third spring 566 is provided on the connecting block 565. The third spring 566 is fixedly connected to the main rod 562.

[0047] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the material dividing mechanism 4 includes: a first support frame 41, a second support frame 42 and a guide rail 43; the first support frame 41 and the second support frame 42 are both arranged at the rear end of the conveying mechanism 1, one end of the guide rail 43 is arranged on the first support frame 41, and the other end of the guide rail 43 is arranged on the second support frame 42, and an electric slider 44 is slidably connected to the guide rail 43, the electric slider 44 is transmission-connected to the pushing mechanism 5, and the electric slider 44 is electrically connected to the control device 3.

[0048] In actual application, the first support frame 41 and the second support frame 42 are both in a U-shape, and the two ends of the first support frame 41 are respectively arranged on both sides of the plate conveyor, and the two ends of the second support frame 42 are respectively arranged on both sides of the plate conveyor. The installation direction of the guide rail 43 is parallel to the conveying direction of the plate conveyor, and the electric slider 44 and the connecting piece 53 of the pushing mechanism 5 are transmission connected. After the identification mechanism 2 obtains the sorting information of the goods, the electric slide rail drives the pushing mechanism 5 to move to the entrance of the corresponding material guide platform, so that the pushing mechanism 5 can push the goods to the corresponding material guide platform.

[0054] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the identification mechanism 2 includes: a fixed frame 21, a lifting drive member 22, a support seat 23 and a barcode scanner 24; the fixed frame 21 is arranged on the conveying mechanism 1, the lifting drive member 22 is arranged on the fixed frame 21, the lifting drive member 22 and the support seat 23 are transmission-connected, the barcode scanner 24 is arranged on the support seat 23, a limit slide bar 25 is arranged on the support seat 23, the limit slide bar 25 and the fixed frame 21 are slidably connected, and the barcode scanner 24 is electrically connected to the control device 3.

[0055] In actual application, the fixed frame 21 is in a U-shape, and the two ends of the fixed frame 21 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the plate conveyor respectively. The lifting drive member 22 is arranged in the middle of the fixed frame 21, and the driving end of the lifting drive member 22 and the scanning end of the barcode scanner 24 are both arranged downward. The lifting drive member 22 is an electric push rod, and the operating height of the support seat 23 and the barcode scanner 24 is adjusted by the electric push rod, which is convenient for the subsequent barcode identification of the goods. The number of limit slide bars 25 can be set according to actual conditions. By setting the limit slide bars 25, the purpose of guiding the support seat 23 is achieved to prevent the support seat 23 from tilting during the movement.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, a first U-shaped rod 231 is slidably provided at one end of the support seat 23, and a second U-shaped rod 232 is slidably provided at the other end of the support seat 23, a first spring 26 is provided at the closed end of the first U-shaped rod 231, and the first spring 26 abuts against the side wall of the support seat 23, and a second spring 27 is provided at the closed end of the second U-shaped rod 232, and the second spring 27 abuts against the side wall of the support seat 23, a first protective shell 28 is provided on the first U-shaped rod 231, and a second protective shell 29 is provided on the second U-shaped rod 232, and a first guide frame 211 and a second guide frame 212 are provided on the fixed frame 21, and a guide slope 213 is provided on the first guide frame 211 and the second guide frame 212, and the guide slope 213 gradually inclines outward from top to bottom, and the first protective shell 28 can abut against the guide slope 213 of the first guide frame 211, and the second protective shell 29 can abut against the guide slope 213 of the second guide frame 212.

When the electric push rod drives the support seat 23 and the barcode scanner 24 to rise, the first protective shell 28 and the second protective shell 29 can respectively contact the guiding inclined surface 213 of the first guide frame 211 and the guiding inclined surface 213 of the second guide frame 212 during the rising process, and the first protective shell 28 and the second protective shell 29 can move along the guiding inclined surface 213 during the continuous rising movement.

[0058] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a sorting method of a robot sorting device, comprising the following steps:

[0059] The goods to be sorted are placed at the front end of the conveying mechanism 1, and the goods are gradually transported to the rear end under the action of the conveying mechanism 1. When the goods pass through the identification mechanism 2, the identification mechanism 2 identifies the goods and obtains the sorting information of the goods.

[0060] Specifically, by operating the electric push rod to extend and push the support seat 23 and the barcode scanner 24 downward, and after the barcode scanner 24 reaches the height required for the identification operation, the goods to be sorted are placed on the left end of the top of the plate conveyor, and under the action of the plate conveyor, the goods can be gradually conveyed to the right, so that the goods can pass under the barcode scanner 24. When the goods pass under the barcode scanner 24, the barcode scanner 24 can effectively visually identify the barcode on the goods, and can accurately obtain the sorting information of the goods.

[0061] According to the sorting information of the goods, the material sorting mechanism 4 transports the pushing mechanism 5 to the corresponding entrance of the material guide platform. When the goods move to abut against the pushing mechanism 5 under the drive of the conveying mechanism 1, the pushing drive mechanism 6 drives the pushing mechanism 5 to push the goods to the corresponding material guide platform.

[0062] Specifically, when the goods identified by the barcode scanner 24 need to be sorted at the second material guide platform 8, the plate conveyor continues to work so that the goods to be sorted can contact the left side of the box body, while shielding the sensing area of ​​the proximity switch 511, and then triggering the proximity switch 511, so that the first conductive contact 623, the first conductive contact 624, the live contact and the neutral contact 612 connect the circuit of the motor, so that the motor can drive the driving rod 527 and the first synchronous wheel 521 to rotate under the action of the work, and the first synchronous wheel 52 The rotation of the synchronous belt 523 can drive the synchronous belt 523 to move along the surface of the second synchronous wheel 522, and the movement of the synchronous belt 523 can drive the push plate 51 to move, so that the push plate 51 can push the goods on the top of the plate conveyor and on the left side of the box body to the entrance of the second material guide platform 8 and fall downward, until the positions of the two groups of push plates 51 can be completely swapped, so that the sensing area of ​​the proximity switch 511 does not detect the goods, and the circuit of the motor is disconnected, so that a group of goods can be effectively sorted;

[0063] When the goods identified by the barcode scanner 24 need to be sorted at the first material guide platform 7 or the third material guide platform 9, the electric slider 44 is controlled to move along the surface of the guide rail 43, so that the push plate 51 can be moved and adjusted to the rear of the first material guide platform 7 or the third material guide platform 9, and the box, the rotating rod 631 and the gear 64 can be driven to move during the movement of the electric slider 44. When the gear 64 moves, the rotating rod 631 can be driven along the surface of the rack 65 to rotate 180 degrees along the bearing on the box. The rotation of the rotating rod 631 can drive the L-shaped rod 632 to rotate, and the L-shaped rod 632 can rotate at the same time. The second insulating plate 62, the fourth spring 68, the fifth spring 69, the first conductive contact 623 and the first conductive contact 624 can be pushed to move through the U-shaped guide frame 625, so that the first conductive contact 623 can be separated from the top of the neutral contact 612 and contact with the top of the first live contact 611, and the first conductive contact 624 can be separated from the top of the second live contact 613 and contact with the top of the neutral contact 612. Since the first conductive contact 623 and the first conductive contact 624 are connected to the power supply line of the motor, during this period, the wiring method of the motor can be changed to realize the forward and reverse rotation of the motor;

[0064] When the goods to be sorted come into contact with the left side of the box during transportation and trigger the proximity switch 511, the first conductive contact 623, the first conductive contact 624, the live contact and the neutral contact 612 connect the circuit of the motor. At the same time, since the wiring method of the motor changes at this time, the motor drives the driving rod 527 and the first synchronous wheel 521 to rotate in opposite directions. The rotation of the first synchronous wheel 521 can drive the synchronous belt 523 to move along the surface of the second synchronous wheel 522. The movement of the synchronous belt 523 can drive the push plate 51 to move. Under the action of the movement, the push plate 51 can push the goods on the top of the plate conveyor and on the left side of the box to the inside of the first guide platform 7 or the third guide platform 9 and fall downward until the positions of the two groups of push plates 51 can be swapped, so that the proximity switch 511 can disconnect the circuit of the motor, thereby effectively sorting multiple groups of goods.
