Some but not all of the embodiments of the present application will be shown in the drawings. In fact, various embodiments of the present application can be implemented in many different forms, and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein; on the contrary, these embodiments are provided to meet the applicable legal requirements.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, a logistics turnover box code sorting device and method are provided, please refer to Figures 1 to 7

[0043] A logistics turnover box code sorting device, comprising a rack 1, a lifting driving mechanism, a fork mechanism and a conveying mechanism.

[0044] The rack 1 is in a frame structure as a whole, and the lifting driving mechanism is arranged above the rack 1 to drive the mounting seat 31 to ascend or descend relative to the rack 1.

[0045] The lifting driving mechanism comprises a driving sprocket 21, a chain 22, a driving motor 23 and a speed reducer 24. The driving sprocket 21 is arranged above the rack 1, one end of the chain 22 is connected to the driving sprocket 21, the other end of the chain 22 is connected to the mounting seat 31, the driving motor 23 is arranged above the rack 1, and the output shaft of the driving motor 23 is connected to the driving sprocket 21.

[0046] The speed reducer 24 is arranged above the rack 1, the output shaft of the driving motor 23 is connected to the input shaft of the speed reducer 24, and the output shaft of the speed reducer 24 is connected to the driving sprocket 21. In this embodiment, a bearing seat 11 is arranged above the rack 1, the output shaft of the speed reducer 24 is connected to the bearing seat 11 through a bearing, and one driving sprocket 21 is arranged at each end of the output shaft of the speed reducer 24.

[0047] The output shaft of the driving motor 23 rotates to drive the driving sprocket 21 to rotate, so as to drive the chain 22 to partially wrap around the driving sprocket 21 or partially detach from the driving sprocket 21, so that the chain 22 drives the mounting seat 31 to ascend or descend.

[0048] One fork mechanism is arranged on the left and right sides of the rack 1 respectively, and each side of the fork mechanism corresponds to two forks 32. The left two forks 32 and the right two forks 32 jointly abut against the logistics turnover box 4 to stably support the logistics turnover box 4.

[0049] The fork mechanism comprises the mounting seat 31, the fork 32, the air cylinder 33, the first crank 34, the rotating shaft 35, the second crank 36 and the traction pin 37.

[0050] ​The mounting base 31 is slidingly fitted to the frame 1. Specifically, the frame 1 is provided with a sliding rail 12 arranged vertically, and the sliding rail 12 is slidingly fitted with a sliding seat 13. The mounting base 31 is arranged on the sliding seat 13.

[0051] The shift fork 32 has an L-shaped cross section. The upper end of the shift fork 32 is hingedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base 31 via a first hinge 51. The lower end of the shift fork 32 can swing at a set angle towards or away from the middle position of the frame 1 relative to the mounting base 31.

[0052] The cylinder body end of the air cylinder 33 is arranged on the mounting base 31. The telescopic end of the air cylinder 33 is connected to the shift fork 32. The telescopic end of the air cylinder 33 is extended or retracted relative to the cylinder body end to drive the lower end of the shift fork 32 to swing at a set angle towards or away from the middle position of the frame 1. Figure 5 Figure 6

[0053] The shift fork 32 is provided with a limiting slot 321 in the form of a long hole structure. The cylinder body end of the air cylinder 33 is hingedly connected to the mounting base 31 via a second hinge 52. The telescopic end of the air cylinder 33 is hingedly connected to one end of the first crank 34 via a third hinge 53. The rotating shaft 35 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 31 via a bearing 351. The other end of the first crank 34 is assembled and connected to one end of the rotating shaft 35. One end of the second crank 36 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 35. The other end of the second crank 36 is hingedly connected to the traction pin 37. The traction pin 37 is slidingly fitted in the limiting slot 321.

[0054] When the telescopic end of the air cylinder 33 is extended relative to the cylinder body end, the first crank 34 is driven to swing towards the middle position of the frame 1. The first crank 34 drives the rotating shaft 35 to rotate forward relative to the mounting base 31. The rotating shaft 35 drives the second crank 36 to swing towards the middle position of the frame 1. The traction pin 37 slides from the upper end of the limiting slot 321 to the lower end of the limiting slot 321.

[0055] When the telescopic end of the air cylinder 33 is retracted relative to the cylinder body end, the first crank 34 is driven to swing away from the middle position of the frame 1. The first crank 34 drives the rotating shaft 35 to rotate reversely relative to the mounting base 31. The rotating shaft 35 drives the second crank 36 to swing away from the middle position of the frame 1. The traction pin 37 slides from the lower end of the limiting slot 321 to the upper end of the limiting slot 321.

[0056] When the lower end of the shift fork 32 swings at a set angle towards the middle position of the frame 1, the traction pin 37 is located at the lower end of the limiting slot 321. The direction of the force of the second crank 36 on the traction pin 37 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the traction pin 37 relative to the limiting slot 321. When the lower end of the shift fork 32 swings away from the middle position of the frame 1, the traction pin 37 is located at the upper end of the limiting slot 321.

[0057] ​​The matching relationship between the force direction of the second crank 36 on the traction pin 37 and the sliding direction of the traction pin 37 relative to the limiting groove 321 is perpendicular, so that the limiting fork 32 no longer swings relative to the mounting seat 31 to lock the position of the fork 32, ensuring stable support of the fork 32 on the logistics turnover box 4 and ensuring the safety of the goods. At this time, even if the air cylinder 33 fails, the fork 32 still cannot swing relative to the mounting seat 31.

[0058] The fork mechanism of the embodiment adopts the mechanism that the air cylinder 33 drives the fork 32 to swing through the first crank 34, the rotating shaft 35, the second crank 36, and the traction pin 37, which has lower cost and higher support stability compared with the air cylinder direct pushing mechanism (a mechanism in which the extension end of the air cylinder is directly connected to the fork 32 and drives the fork 32 to push out or retract).

[0059] Specifically, if the air cylinder direct pushing mechanism is adopted, a cylinder with a linear bearing needs to be selected, the air cylinder needs to drive the whole fork 32 to move, and a cylinder with a large diameter needs to be selected, which further increases the cost. Compared with the air cylinder direct pushing mechanism, the fork mechanism of the embodiment adopts the air cylinder swing mode, only needs to select a common cylindrical air cylinder, and the pushing force of the air cylinder only needs to drive the fork 32 to swing, which has lower cost.

[0060] The conveying mechanism passes through the middle position of the rack 1 and is used to convey the logistics turnover box 4 to the middle position of the rack 1 or convey the logistics turnover box 4 at the middle position of the rack 1 out.

[0061] The lower end of the fork 32 swings towards the middle position of the rack 1 by a set angle, so that the lower end of the fork 32 can abut against the gap in the end face of the logistics turnover box 4; and the lower end of the fork 32 moves away from the middle position of the rack 1, so that the lower end of the fork 32 is separated from the logistics turnover box 4.

[0062] The conveying mechanism includes a support frame 61 and a conveying chain 62 arranged on the support frame 61, the conveying chain 62 is used to place the logistics turnover box 4, and the conveying chain 62 operates to convey the logistics turnover box 4 to the middle position of the rack 1 or convey the logistics turnover box 4 at the middle position of the rack 1 out.

[0063] The first proximity sensor 71 and the second proximity sensor 72 are arranged on the rack 1, the first proximity sensor 71 can monitor the swinging of the lower end of the fork 32 towards the middle position of the rack 1 by a set angle, and the second proximity sensor 72 can monitor the swinging of the lower end of the fork 32 away from the middle position of the rack 1. In this way, it is determined whether the lower end of the fork 32 swings to the position, so that the fork 32 stably abuts against and cooperates with the logistics turnover box 4, or the fork 32 is prevented from interfering with the logistics turnover box 4 when the fork 32 does not carry the logistics turnover box 4 to ascend or descend.

[0064] A logistics turnover box code division method, the method selectively automatically stacks or distributes the logistics turnover box 4 by using the logistics turnover box code division device of the embodiment:

[0065] I. Stacking operation of logistics turnover box;

[0066] When the conveying mechanism conveys the first logistics turnover box 4 to the middle position of the rack 1, the lifting driving mechanism drives the mounting seat 31 to descend to a set height relative to the rack 1, the lower end of the fork 32 swings to a set angle towards the middle position of the rack 1, so that the lower end of the fork 32 abuts against the logistics turnover box 4, and the lifting driving mechanism drives the mounting seat 31 and the logistics turnover box 4 to ascend to a set height.

[0067] When the conveying mechanism conveys the second and subsequent logistics turnover boxes 4 to the middle position of the rack 1, the lifting driving mechanism drives the mounting seat 31 and the logistics turnover boxes 4 to descend to a set height relative to the rack 1, so that the logistics turnover boxes 4 above are placed on the logistics turnover box 4 below, the lower end of the fork 32 is away from the middle position of the rack 1, so that the lower end of the fork 32 is separated from the logistics turnover box 4, the lifting driving mechanism drives the mounting seat 31 to continue to descend to a set height relative to the rack 1, the lower end of the fork 32 swings to a set angle towards the middle position of the rack 1, so that the lower end of the fork 32 abuts against the lowermost logistics turnover box 4, and the lifting driving mechanism drives the mounting seat 31 and the logistics turnover boxes 4 to ascend to a set height.

[0068] II. Distribution operation of logistics turnover box;

[0069] The lifting driving mechanism drives the mounting seat 31 and the logistics turnover boxes 4 to descend to a set height relative to the rack 1, so that the lowermost logistics turnover box 4 is placed on the conveying mechanism, the lower end of the fork 32 is away from the middle position of the rack 1, so that the lower end of the fork 32 is separated from the logistics turnover box 4, the lifting driving mechanism drives the mounting seat 31 to ascend to a set height relative to the rack 1, the lower end of the fork 32 swings to a set angle towards the middle position of the rack 1, so that the lower end of the fork 32 abuts against the second logistics turnover box 4 from bottom to top, the lifting driving mechanism drives the mounting seat 31 and the logistics turnover boxes 4 above to ascend to a set height, and the conveying mechanism conveys the lowermost logistics turnover box 4 out.

Palletizing operations for logistics turnover boxes; When the conveying mechanism transports the first logistics turnover box to the middle position of the frame, the lifting drive mechanism drives the mounting base to descend to a set height relative to the frame, and the lower end of the fork swings towards the middle position of the frame at a set angle so that the lower end of the fork abuts against the logistics turnover box. The lifting drive mechanism drives the mounting base and the logistics turnover box to rise to the set height. When the conveying mechanism transports the second and subsequent logistics turnover boxes to the middle position of the frame, the lifting drive mechanism drives the mounting base and logistics turnover boxes to descend to a set height relative to the frame, placing the upper logistics turnover boxes on the lower logistics turnover boxes. The lower end of the fork moves away from the middle position of the frame, causing the lower end of the fork to detach from the logistics turnover box. The lifting drive mechanism drives the mounting base to continue descending to a set height relative to the frame. The lower end of the fork swings towards the middle position of the frame at a set angle, causing the lower end of the fork to abut against the bottommost logistics turnover box. The lifting drive mechanism then drives the mounting base and logistics turnover boxes to rise to a set height. II. Distribution of logistics turnover boxes; The lifting drive mechanism lowers the mounting base and logistics turnover boxes relative to the frame to a set height, placing the bottom logistics turnover box on the conveying mechanism. The lower end of the fork moves away from the middle of the frame, causing the lower end of the fork to detach from the logistics turnover box. The lifting drive mechanism then raises the mounting base relative to the frame to a set height. The lower end of the fork swings towards the middle of the frame at a set angle, causing the lower end of the fork to abut against the second logistics turnover box from the bottom. The lifting drive mechanism then raises the mounting base and all the logistics turnover boxes above it to a set height, and the conveying mechanism transports the bottom logistics turnover box out.
