Detailed Implementation

[0036] See Figure 1 This invention provides an automatic cargo package discharge system, including...

[0037] Information collection unit 1, combined with Figure 3 It has a barcode scanner 12, which is used to collect information of the cargo package 100 and transmit the collected information to the control unit;

[0038] Optionally, the cargo package 100 is equipped with a barcode label that stores information about the cargo package 100, and the barcode scanner 12 reads and collects the cargo information by scanning the barcode.

[0039] The receiving conveyor line 2 is used to receive the package 100 and transport it to the inbound transfer unit 3.

[0040] Inbound transfer unit 3, package 100 is transferred to the temporary storage unit;

[0041] The temporary storage unit has multiple temporary storage conveyor lines 4 arranged in parallel, and each temporary storage conveyor line 4 can discharge multiple packages 100;

[0042] Combination Figure 2 The picking unit includes at least one transfer vehicle 5, which is used to pick up the picking package 100 from the temporary storage conveyor line 4 of the temporary storage unit; thereby realizing the outbound delivery of the package 100.

[0043] As one embodiment, the inbound transfer unit 3 and the picking unit are respectively located on both sides of the temporary storage unit; the package 100 enters the warehouse from one side and leaves from the other side, improving turnover efficiency and realizing first-in-first-out management.

[0044] The control unit receives and records the information of the cargo package 100, assigns a discharge location to the cargo package 100, and sends a corresponding control signal to the inbound transfer unit 3 to send the cargo package 100 to the corresponding temporary storage conveyor line 4.

[0045] As one embodiment, the transfer vehicle 5 of the present invention is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) that can be connected to a control unit to obtain information, realize automatic picking, and improve the efficiency and automation level of outbound management.

[0046] This invention collects and stores information about packages 100 simultaneously with their arrival in the warehouse via an information collection unit 1; and automatically allocates and delivers packages 100 to the corresponding temporary storage conveyor line 4 via a control unit, thus achieving automatic discharge of packages 100. The retrieval unit retrieves goods from the other side of the temporary storage unit, realizing first-in-first-out (FIFO) management of goods. This invention improves the discharge and turnover efficiency of goods.

[0047] Combination Figure 4 As one embodiment, the inbound transfer unit 3 includes a transverse rail 31 and a transverse car 32; the transverse car 32 is used to pick up the package 100 from the receiving conveyor line 2 and move it along the transverse rail 31 to the corresponding temporary storage conveyor line 4, and deliver the package 100 to the temporary storage conveyor line 4.

[0048] See Figure 3 As one embodiment, the information collection unit 1 includes a receiving platform connected to the receiving conveyor line 2; the receiving platform includes a roller frame 11, on which multiple rollers for conveying packages 100 are installed; the barcode scanner 12 is fixed on the roller frame 11.

[0049] Optionally, the barcode scanner 12 of the present invention can be adaptively mounted on the roller frame 11 according to the position and orientation of the label on the package 100.

[0050] Furthermore, a width limiting sensor 14 is respectively installed on both sides of the roller frame 11, and the width limiting sensor 14 is electrically connected to the control unit; the two width limiting sensors 14 are used to detect whether the width of the package 100 exceeds the standard. When the width of the package 100 is detected to exceed the standard, the control unit sends an alarm signal, the receiving conveyor line 2 is paused, and it is cleared to avoid receiving unqualified packages 100;

[0051] Furthermore, a height limiting plate 13 is fixed on the roller frame 11, and a height limiting sensor 15 is installed on the height limiting plate 13. The height limiting sensor 15 is electrically connected to the control unit and is used to detect whether the height of the cargo package 100 exceeds the limit.

[0052] Optionally, both the width limiting sensor 14 and the height limiting sensor 15 are infrared proximity photoelectric switches.

[0053] In one embodiment, the barcode scanner 12 is mounted on the height restriction plate 13.

[0054] Combination Figure 12 As one embodiment, the automatic discharge system for the cargo package 100 of the present invention also includes a manual forklift 200, which is configured to lift the cargo package 100 and deliver it to the receiving platform; the warehousing operation is carried out by the manual forklift 200, which reduces labor intensity and improves work efficiency.

[0055] When the weight of a 100-pack of goods is large, such as a cotton bale weighing up to 330 kg, it needs to be manually tilted and placed flat on a forklift when the 100-pack is placed upright, which is labor-intensive.

[0056] As one embodiment, to address this problem, the present invention includes a bag flipper configured to assist in flipping the bag 100 so that it rests flat on the forks 201 of a manual forklift 200.

[0057] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bag flipper of the present invention includes a frame 6, a base plate 61 is provided on the frame 6, and two traveling wheels 63 and two steering wheels 64 are provided below the base plate 61; a slide rail beam 7 is provided on the frame 6, a sliding seat 71 is slidably provided on the slide rail beam 7, and a lever 72 is fixed on the sliding seat 71.

[0058] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 9The frame 6 is equipped with a drive wheel 83, and the slide rail beam 7 is equipped with a driven wheel 84 and a steering wheel 85; a transmission chain 87 is cyclically connected between the drive wheel 83, the driven wheel 84 and the steering wheel 85; the transmission chain 87 is fixed to the sliding seat 71; the frame 6 is also equipped with a drive component 8 for driving the drive wheel 83 to rotate.

[0059] The transmission chain 87 between the driven wheel 84 and the steering wheel 85 runs in the same direction as the slide rail beam 7; the driving member 8 causes the driving wheel 83 to rotate forward or backward, driving the sliding seat 71 to reciprocate on the slide rail beam 7.

[0060] Optionally, the frame 6 is further provided with an auxiliary wheel 86 that is connected to the transmission chain 87; used to change the direction of the transmission chain 87 to adapt it to the structure of the frame 6 and avoid interference between the transmission chain 87 and other components.

[0061] Combination Figure 10 In one embodiment, the drive component 8 is connected to the drive wheel 83 via a reducer 82, reducing the resistance of manual operation of the drive component 8. Optionally, the reducer 82 of the present invention includes multiple gears of different diameters. Through the cooperation of each gear, an appropriate transmission ratio is achieved between the drive component 8 and the drive wheel 83, facilitating the operator's rotation of the drive component 8.

[0062] Optionally, the driving component 8 of the present invention is a crank handle. The crank handle is coaxially and fixedly sleeved with the gear at the input end of the reducer 82.

[0063] In one embodiment, the slide rail beam 7 is horizontally mounted on the frame 6; the operator moves the bag flipper to the position of the bag 100, the lever 72 is located on one side of the frame 6 and in contact with the bag 100; then the operator turns the crank to drive the drive wheel 83 to rotate, causing the lever 72 to move to the other side, thereby causing the bag 100 to flip until it tip over.

[0064] Optionally, a protective cover 81 is provided on the frame 6, and the reducer 82 is installed inside the protective cover 81 to protect it.

[0065] Optionally, a reinforcing plate 67 is provided on the front side of the frame 6 to improve the overall strength of the frame 6.

[0066] See Figure 6 In one embodiment, a brake lever 65 is rotatably connected to the frame 6; a crossbeam plate 68 is fixed below the base plate 61; a return spring 66 is provided between the crossbeam plate 68 and the brake lever 65; see also Figure 7 The bottom of the brake lever 65 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 651; the connecting rod 651 is movably connected to the crossbeam plate 68 and fixedly connected to a support 652 located below the crossbeam plate 68.

[0067] Before flipping the cargo bag 100, the operator stands on the bottom plate 61, increasing the overall weight of the frame 6 and making it more stable. Depressing the brake lever 65 causes the support 652 to contact the ground, preventing the frame 6 from moving on its own. This makes the bag-flipping operation more stable and improves safety.

[0068] Furthermore, the bottom of the support 652 is provided with an anti-slip layer 653, such as a rubber layer, to increase the friction with the ground and prevent the vehicle from moving during the unpacking operation.

[0069] Optionally, handrails 62 are fixed on both sides of the frame 6 to facilitate the operator's grip and improve safety.

[0070] See Figure 11 and Figure 12 In one embodiment, the slide rail beam 7 is inclinedly mounted on the frame 6; a plate-shaped support shovel is fixed to the side of the lever 72;

[0071] Combination Figure 13 Before the bag is flipped, lever 72 is at its lowest position, and the chuck extends to the bottom of one side of bag 100. The manual forklift 200 is positioned side by side on one side of the bag flipper, with the forks 201 at their lowest point.

[0072] Then, the drive unit 8 is rotated to move the lever 72 diagonally upward, lifting up this side of the cargo package 100; as the lever 72 rises, the cargo package 100 is eventually flipped over and placed flat on the forks 201.

[0073] In one embodiment, the drive component 8 includes two cross-connected rotating rods; this increases torque and reduces operational difficulty. Furthermore, the frame 6 is movably connected to a stop post 88 to prevent the rotating rods from rotating in the opposite direction; after one side of the cargo bag 100 is lifted, the stop post 88 can be inserted into the frame 6 and abut against the rotating rod, preventing the rotating rod from rotating in the opposite direction under the weight of the cargo bag 100. Afterwards, the operator can remove the stop post 88 to continue the bag-flipping operation after switching hands or adjusting posture.

[0074] In summary, this invention provides an automated parcel disposal system. An information acquisition unit collects and stores parcel information upon receipt; a control unit automatically allocates and delivers parcels to corresponding temporary storage conveyor lines, achieving automated parcel disposal. A retrieval unit retrieves parcels from the other side of the temporary storage unit, implementing first-in, first-out (FIFO) management of the goods. This invention improves the efficiency of goods disposal and turnover.

[0075] Of course, the present invention may have other various embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
