Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A sorting ramp machine for logistics goods includes a base 10, a support 2, a belt 3, a first drive device 4, and several first idler rollers 5. The support 2 is inclinedly mounted on the base 10, and the several first idler rollers 5 are rotatably mounted on the support 2. The belt 3 is wound around the first idler rollers 5, and the first drive device 4 drives one of the first idler rollers 5 to rotate. The sorting ramp machine for logistics goods also includes a cleaning device and a dispersing device, specifically: The cleaning device includes a cylindrical cam 6, a follower 7, an annular member 8, a T-shaped guide rod 9, and a brush member 11. One end of the cylindrical cam 6 is connected to one of the first rollers 5. The guide rod 9 is mounted on the bracket 2. The annular member 8 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 9. The follower 7 and the brush member 11 are both mounted on the annular member 8. One end of the follower 7 engages with a groove on the cylindrical cam 6.

[0018] The dispersing device includes a dispersing blade 12, at least one support rod 13, and a linkage mechanism. The dispersing blade 12 is mounted on the support rod 13. The linkage mechanism is connected to an annular component 8 to drive the support rod 13 to move back and forth on the support 2. In this invention, the first driving device 4 drives the first idler roller 5 to rotate, thereby driving the belt 3 to flow. The cylindrical cam 6 is connected to the first idler roller 5. The rotation of the first idler roller 5 drives the cylindrical cam 6 to rotate. The annular groove of the cylindrical cam 6 cooperates with the follower 7. When the cylindrical cam 6 rotates, it causes the annular component 8 to move back and forth on the guide rod 9, thereby driving the brush component 11 to move back and forth. The brush on the brush component 11 cleans the belt 3 to prevent oil, dust, and other contaminants from flowing onto the goods. The linkage mechanism is connected to the annular component 8. When the annular component 8 moves back and forth, the linkage mechanism drives the support rod 13 to move back and forth on the support 2, thereby driving the dispersing blade 12 to move back and forth above the belt 3. When the goods fall onto the belt 3, the dispersing blade 12 separates the goods to prevent them from piling up and ensures that the goods are evenly distributed. Specifically, the first drive device 4 is a motor, which is mounted on the bracket 2.

[0019] In this embodiment, the annular component 8 is provided with a sliding groove; the linkage mechanism includes a first L-shaped drive component 14, a support base 15, a rotating cylinder 16, a drive rod 17, and a second L-shaped drive component 18. The support base 15 is mounted on the bracket 2, and the rotating cylinder 16 is rotatably mounted on the support base 15. One end of the first L-shaped drive component 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 16, and the other end is located in the sliding groove on the annular component 8. One end of the drive rod 17 is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 16, and the other end is provided with a sliding groove. One end of the second L-shaped drive component 18 is connected to the support rod 13, and the other end is located in the sliding groove on the drive rod 17. Specifically, the bracket 2 is provided with two vertical plates 201 and two support rods 13. The support rods 13 can slide on the vertical plates 201. When the ring part 8 moves back and forth, it drives the first L-shaped drive part 14 to move back and forth. At the same time, the first L-shaped drive part 14 swings back and forth, driving the rotating drum 16 to rotate forward and backward on the support seat 15, which in turn drives the drive rod 17 to swing back and forth. The drive rod 17 drives the second L-shaped drive part 18 to move back and forth, which in turn drives the support rod 13 to move back and forth on the vertical plate 201, so that the dispersing knife 12 moves back and forth to disperse and process the logistics goods.

[0020] In this embodiment, both sides of the base 10 are provided with clearance grooves 101, through which the brush 11 passes. One end of the bracket 2 is rotatably mounted on the base 10. An angle adjustment device is also included to adjust the tilt angle of the bracket 2. Specifically, the bracket 2 has outwardly extending protrusions on both sides, each with an annular groove. The end of the base 10 is U-shaped, and the two side walls of the end of the base 10 are fitted into the annular groove. When the tilt angle of the bracket 2 needs to be adjusted, the angle adjustment device rotates one end of the bracket 2 relative to the base 10. The clearance grooves 101 prevent interference when the bracket 2 rotates.

[0021] In this embodiment, the angle adjustment device includes a lead screw mechanism 19, a crossbar 20, a movable frame 21, and two ear plates 22, a swing rod 23, and a straight rod 24. The crossbar 20 and the two straight rods 24 are both mounted on the base 10. The lead screw mechanism 19, mounted on the crossbar 20 and the straight rods 24, drives the movable frame 21 to move back and forth on the straight rod 24. The ear plates 22 are mounted on the support 2. The ends of the swing rods 23 are rotatably mounted on the movable frame 21 and the ear plates 22, respectively. The operation of the lead screw mechanism 19 drives the movable frame 21 to move back and forth on the straight rod 24, thereby causing the swing rods 23 to swing between the movable frame 21 and the ear plates 22, adjusting the tilt angle of the support 2. Specifically, the lead screw mechanism 19 is conventional prior art and will not be described further here.

[0022] In this embodiment, a tensioning device is also included, comprising a telescopic mechanism, two connecting blocks 25, a round rod 26, a spring 27, a fixing block 28, and several second idlers 29. The fixing block 28 is mounted on the bracket 2, the round rod 26 is mounted on the fixing block 28, the spring 27 is sleeved on the round rod 26, the connecting block 25 is slidably mounted on the round rod 26, and the second idlers 29 are rotatably mounted between the two connecting blocks 25. The remaining second idlers 29 are rotatably mounted on the bracket 2. The belt 3 is wound around the first idler 5 and the second idlers 29. The telescopic mechanism is used to drive one of the first idlers 5 to move back and forth. The second idlers 29 are rotatably mounted between the two connecting blocks 25. The spring 27 is in a certain compressed state. The spring 27 pushes the connecting block 25, causing the second idlers 29 to push the belt 3, thereby keeping the belt 3 in a taut state and preventing the logistics goods from slipping on the belt 3.

[0023] In this embodiment, the telescopic mechanism includes a second drive device 30, a telescopic frame 31, a support plate 32, and two push rods 33 and two connecting rods 34. One first idler roller 5 is rotatably mounted on the telescopic frame 31, and the support plate 32 is mounted on the bracket 2. The second drive device 30 is mounted on the support plate 32 to drive the first idler roller 5 to move back and forth. The connecting rod 34 connects the telescopic frame 31 and the push rod 33, and the push rod 33 connects to the connecting block 25. Specifically, the second drive device 30 is a cylinder or hydraulic rod. When the belt 3 needs to be extended, the second drive device 30 drives the telescopic frame 31 to move to the right. The connecting rod 34 moves to the right with the telescopic frame 31, driving the push rod 33 to move to the right. The push rod 33 and the connecting block 25 move to the right on the round rod 26 and compress the spring 27, thus extending the belt 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, the tensioning device also includes a buffer mechanism, which is mounted on the bracket 2 and connected to one of the second rollers 29 to buffer objects falling onto the belt 3, buffer the starting end of the belt 3, prevent the belt 3 from being subjected to a large impact and breaking, and prevent the goods from being damaged due to hard contact with the belt 3.

[0025] In this embodiment, the buffer mechanism includes two buffer rods 35 and two torsion springs 36. A second roller 29 is provided between the buffer rods 35. The buffer rods 35 are rotatably mounted on the support 2 and the torsion spring 36 is provided between them. The second roller 29 is provided below the starting end of the belt 3. When the goods fall onto the starting end of the belt 3, the belt 3 and the second roller 29 are subjected to force, which exerts a force on the buffer rods 35. The buffer rods 35 rotate counterclockwise on the support 2 and exert a force on the torsion spring 36, thus playing a buffering role. After the goods are transported out, the torsion spring 36 gives the buffer rods 35 a reaction force to return them to their original position.

[0026] In summary, this invention cleans the conveyor belt using a cleaning device to prevent oil, dust, and other contaminants from flowing onto the goods. Simultaneously, it works in conjunction with a dispersing device to disperse accumulated goods, preventing them from piling up and ensuring even distribution. An angle adjustment device allows for adjustment of the incline machine's angle. A tensioning device keeps the conveyor belt taut, and a telescopic mechanism adjusts the belt's extension length. A buffer device cushions the belt's initial end, preventing breakage from excessive impact and protecting goods from damage caused by hard contact with the conveyor belt.
