Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of logistics transportation, and more specifically, to a special intelligent conveying device and method for express delivery slope direction in international trade warehouse management logistics. Background Art
[0002] At present, in international trade warehouse management logistics, it is necessary to handle express deliveries and transport them from the warehouse to the vehicle. Currently, the handling method for small items is to manually handle them and then throw them into the vehicle. This method not only wastes manpower but also has low handling efficiency. To ensure the safety and efficiency of express delivery transportation, a conveying device needs to be configured for continuous transportation.
[0003] In the existing logistics express delivery conveying structure, a conveyor belt is directly installed through a fixed frame and then single-directionally conveyed. However, due to the inconsistent construction of the warehouse and the inconsistent vehicles for receiving express deliveries, the warehouse exit and the carriage cannot be matched. Such a single-directional conveying device cannot accurately align, affecting the conveying operation. It is not only prone to interference but also prone to losing express deliveries. Therefore, there is a need to propose a new conveying device and conveying method. Summary of the Invention
