Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of document storage equipment technology, and in particular to a portable intelligent document sorting and organizing device. Background Technology

[0002] The classification and organization of invoices should begin with preliminary categorization, establishing a basic sorting based on invoice type and time attributes. This is followed by system archiving, where classified invoices are physically secured using dedicated clipboards or archiving boxes, with the invoice type, period, and archiving number clearly labeled on the outside of the storage unit. Simultaneously, it is recommended to establish an electronic index catalog, enabling rapid retrieval and tracking through key fields, ensuring the traceability and audit reliability of the invoice management system. However, traditional invoice classification and organization suffers from difficulties in neatly archiving invoices due to their varying sizes, fragile materials, and frequent creases and damage, significantly increasing the difficulty and risk of subsequent searching and verification.

[0028] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0029] It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is described as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementations.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] See Figures 1-5 A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a portable intelligent ticket sorting and organizing device, comprising: a box 1, an identification device, and a sorting device.

[0032] The box body 1 includes a receiving cavity 2, sorting boxes 3, a paper inlet 4, and a paper feeding platform 5. Multiple sorting boxes 3 are provided, located within the receiving cavity 2, and are used to accommodate different types of documents. The paper inlet 4 allows documents to enter the receiving cavity 2, and the paper feeding platform 5 is used to place documents. Multiple independent sorting boxes 3 are arranged side-by-side in a pull-out manner within the receiving cavity 2. Each sorting box 3 corresponds to a specific document category. The front of the box body 1 has a visible label window corresponding to each sorting box 3, allowing users to intuitively understand the classification status and contents. The paper inlet 4 is located on the upper side of the box body 1, and its width is adapted to common document sizes, ensuring unobstructed document input. The paper feeding platform 5, connected to the paper inlet 4, is located within the receiving cavity 2 and extends horizontally, providing stable support for stacked documents. This design not only optimizes the document input and sorting storage process but also enhances the device's functional expandability and maintenance convenience through modular design, while ensuring the overall structural compactness and systematic operation.

[0033] The identification device includes a first conveyor belt 6 and a camera 7. The paper inlet 4, the paper feeding platform 5, and the first conveyor belt 6 are arranged sequentially along the document conveying direction. The transport path of the first conveyor belt 6 passes through the identification area below the camera 7, which is used to identify document information. Through the coordinated work of image acquisition and document conveying system, the conversion from physical documents to digital information is completed. The identification device is mainly composed of the first conveyor belt 6 and the camera 7 forming an organic whole. The input end of the first conveyor belt 6 is adjacent to the end outlet of the paper feeding platform 5, forming a document handover interface to ensure that documents can smoothly transition from a temporary storage state to a dynamic transmission process. Driven by the transmission mechanism, the first conveyor belt 6 accurately conveys the received documents at a constant speed to the image acquisition area directly below the camera 7. After being acquired and identified by the camera 7, the documents are conveyed to the sorting device. The camera 7 component integrates an illumination source 22 and an autofocus module, which can trigger image capture the instant the document passes through the acquisition area to completely acquire the graphic and textual data on the surface of the document. A stable and reliable automated information collection process was established, which not only significantly improved the efficiency of invoice processing and avoided errors that may be introduced by manual operation, but also provided an accurate data foundation for subsequent invoice classification based on intelligent algorithms, thereby ensuring the processing accuracy and reliability of the entire classification system.

[0034] A sorting device is located between the identification device and the sorting box 3, and is used to classify the identified tickets and guide them to the corresponding sorting box 3. The sorting device is situated in the functional connection area between the identification device and the sorting box 3, constructing a complete processing link from data determination to ticket collection. Based on the ticket category signal output by the identification device, the device drives the corresponding guiding mechanism to perform the sorting action through its internal control unit. After the ticket information is identified, the sorting device receives a path selection instruction sent by the processing system, activates the guiding component of the target channel, and guides the ticket in the transmission state to the preset corresponding sorting box 3, ensuring that the ticket can be accurately delivered to the designated sorting box 3 along the predetermined path. This structured layout achieves full automation and precision in the ticket sorting process, significantly improving the processing efficiency of sorting operations and avoiding the mis-sorting and omission problems that may occur during manual sorting. Through the close integration of mechanical structure guidance and electronic control, a highly reliable sorting execution system is established, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire ticket sorting system from identification to archiving. It can be understood that, as an alternative implementation method, the sorting device adopts a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm structure. The robotic arm is fixedly installed in the working space between the identification device and the sorting box 3. Its end effector is a gripping mechanism with negative pressure adsorption or flexible clamping functions. After the ticket is identified by the identification device, the robotic arm receives a sorting instruction from the image processing unit. Subsequently, the robotic arm drives the end effector to move to the precise position of the ticket on the conveyor belt according to a preset motion trajectory. The gripping mechanism picks up the ticket by negative pressure adsorption or gentle clamping, and then the joint axes of the robotic arm work together to smoothly and accurately transfer the ticket above the target sorting box 3 and release it, allowing the ticket to fall into the box to complete the sorting and filing.

[0035] Working Principle: The user first places the documents to be sorted flat on the paper feeding platform 5. The first conveyor belt 6 transports the documents to the image acquisition area at a constant speed and then stops. At this time, the camera 7, assisted by the illumination source 22, captures high-definition images of the documents. The image processing unit intelligently recognizes and classifies the document's layout features, text content, and graphic elements. After recognition is completed, the first conveyor belt 6 continues to work, transporting the recognized documents to the sorting device. After the recognition system generates sorting instructions according to preset classification rules, the sorting device guides the documents precisely to the corresponding sorting boxes 3 through a guide mechanism. The documents eventually fall into the target sorting box 3 along the designated path and are archived. The entire process achieves fully automated processing from document input, image acquisition, intelligent recognition to automatic sorting, ensuring not only classification accuracy and processing efficiency but also maintaining a compact structural layout and convenient operation experience through modular design.

[0036] Clearly, a linear workflow for placing, importing, and classifying documents has been achieved, optimizing internal space utilization and making the device compact and portable. The classification box 3 adopts a pull-out modular design and is equipped with a visual label window, allowing users to flexibly adjust the classification scheme according to their needs and intuitively grasp the storage status of various documents, significantly improving the device's usability and scalability. The first conveyor belt 6 smoothly transports documents from the paper feeding platform 5 to the image acquisition area, ensuring high-quality document images with the assistance of the illumination source 22 and the autofocus module. This significantly improves the speed of document information acquisition, completely avoiding errors and efficiency bottlenecks that may be introduced by manual operation in placement and alignment, providing a reliable data foundation for subsequent accurate classification based on intelligent algorithms, and ensuring the processing accuracy and reliability of the entire system from the source. Based on the recognition results, the classification device drives the guiding mechanism through its control unit to accurately guide the documents to the corresponding classification box 3. This achieves seamless connection from data judgment to document collection, ensuring the accuracy of the sorting path. This mechanism completely eliminates the problems of missorting and omissions caused by fatigue and negligence that are unavoidable in manual sorting, while ensuring the continuity, stability and efficiency of the entire invoice sorting system from identification to archiving.

[0037] In this embodiment, preferably, the sorting devices are linearly arranged and sequentially distributed along a first direction; the sorting devices are provided with multiple second conveyor belts 8, which are distributed sequentially at intervals along the first direction; each second conveyor belt 8 is respectively disposed above one of the sorting boxes 3, and each sorting box 3 has a first paper feeding channel 9 distributed above it. Each first paper feeding channel 9 is equipped with a movable baffle 10, and the movable baffle 10 is connected to a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is used to drive the movable baffle 10 to close and open the corresponding first paper feeding channel 9. Each second conveyor belt 8 independently corresponds to one sorting box 3, and a precisely aligned first paper feeding channel 9 is provided at its end. Each first paper feed channel 9 is equipped with a movable baffle 10 controlled by a drive mechanism. This baffle has two stable working positions: when a specific sorting box 3 is selected as the target, the baffle of the corresponding channel opens under the action of the drive mechanism, allowing the document to fall into the channel while simultaneously blocking the document's further movement on the conveyor belt; when the sorting box 3 is not the target, the baffle remains closed, allowing the document to continue moving along the conveyor belt to the subsequent workstation. This combination of linear distribution and independent control enables precise step-by-step sorting of documents. It improves the space utilization efficiency of the device through parallel layout and ensures the reliability and accuracy of the sorting process through mechanical flow guidance. Simultaneously, the modular design provides good scalability for different sorting quantities. It is understood that, as an alternative implementation, the second conveyor belt 8 can be set horizontally or inclined according to specific structural layout requirements. When inclined, the second conveyor belt 8 is located diagonally above its corresponding sorting box 3, forming a certain angle with the horizontal direction. In this configuration, the documents move along the inclined plane driven by the second conveyor belt 8. When sorting is required, the movable baffle of the target channel opens, and the documents naturally slide into the corresponding first paper feed channel 9 under the combined action of gravity and conveying power, finally falling into the sorting box 3. This inclined layout structure not only effectively utilizes the vertical space of the device, making the overall structure more compact, but also reduces the requirements for the conveyor belt driving force by introducing gravity-assisted conveying, thus improving the reliability and smoothness of document transfer.

[0038] In this embodiment, preferably, each sorting box 3 has a first paper feeding channel 9 distributed above it, and multiple second conveyor belts 8 and multiple first paper feeding channels 9 are sequentially and alternately connected along a first direction. The sorting device adopts an alternating spatial layout structure, with multiple second conveyor belts 8 and corresponding first paper feeding channels 9 arranged alternately along the first direction of document transport to form a continuous sorting path. The output end of each second conveyor belt 8 is precisely connected to the input end of the next first paper feeding channel 9, forming a complete document transport link. When a document travels on a second conveyor belt 8, if the sorting box 3 corresponding to the current workstation is selected as the target position, the movable baffle at that location opens, and the document falls into the sorting box 3 through the first paper feeding channel 9; if sorting is not required at the current workstation, the document will continue to be transported to the next section of the second conveyor belt 8, and so on until it reaches the target workstation. This maximizes the arrangement density of sorting workstations within a limited space, significantly improving space utilization and ensuring the continuity of transport between sorting workstations. Meanwhile, the modular design allows the system to flexibly adjust the number of sorting stations according to actual classification needs, ensuring sorting efficiency while providing an optimized structural foundation for device miniaturization and functional expansion. As an alternative implementation, the first paper feed channel 9 above the sorting box 3 at the very end of the document conveying direction is configured to be permanently open. This specific channel does not have a movable baffle 10 or corresponding drive mechanism, forming a permanently open document entry point. When all preceding sorting stations are not sorting documents, the documents will naturally fall into the last sorting box 3 through this end opening as the conveyor belt is transported. This design simplifies the device structure, eliminating the control elements and actuators at the end stations, effectively reducing manufacturing costs and improving the overall reliability of the system by reducing the number of moving parts. This permanently open channel, as the default path, ensures that all documents not captured by the preceding sorting box 3 are collected uniformly, thus forming a complete and comprehensive classification loop, guaranteeing the logical integrity of the sorting process and improving the fault tolerance of the device.

[0039] In this embodiment, preferably, the guide baffle 11 is an arc-shaped structure, which guides the document from moving along the transport direction of the first conveyor belt 6 to moving along a first direction. The arc-shaped structure forms a continuous and smooth guide trajectory, starting from the output end of the first conveyor belt 6 and ending at the entrance of the sorting device. When the document moves to the output end along the transport direction of the first conveyor belt 6, the guide baffle 11 makes tangential contact with the edge of the document through its arc-shaped working surface, gradually changing the movement direction of the document to the first direction using the principle of mechanical guidance. This direction conversion process is achieved through continuous curved surface contact, effectively avoiding document wrinkles, jamming, or loss of posture caused by sharp turns. This arc-shaped guide structure not only ensures the movement stability of the document during the direction conversion process and maintains the flatness of the document, but also shortens the transfer time between modules through the optimized transmission path, significantly improving the working efficiency and reliability of the device, and laying a solid foundation for the accurate execution of subsequent sorting processes.

[0040] In this embodiment, preferably, the box body 1 is provided with a guide baffle 11, which is located at the output end of the first conveyor belt 6 to guide the tickets from the first conveyor belt 6 into the sorting device. The working surface of the guide baffle 11 is a smooth curved surface, forming a continuous transition guide interface with the output edge of the first conveyor belt 6. When the tickets are output from the end of the first conveyor belt 6, the guide baffle 11 constrains and guides the movement trajectory of the tickets through its curved surface structure, so that the tickets maintain a predetermined posture and smoothly enter the receiving area of ​​the sorting device. This effectively solves the problems of offset and jamming that easily occur in the transfer of tickets, ensuring the continuity and stability of the tickets' flow within the device. By optimizing the transfer path of tickets from the identification area to the sorting area, the guide baffle 11 not only improves the working reliability of the device, but also significantly reduces the risk of blockage that may occur during the transfer of tickets, providing an important guarantee for the accurate execution of subsequent sorting operations.

[0041] In this embodiment, preferably, the paper feeding platform 5 is equipped with a separation device, which includes a first roller 12 and a friction separation block 13. The first roller 12 can rotate around its own axis and has anti-slip textures on its circumference. The friction separation block 13 is used to separate sticky documents. The first roller 12 and the friction separation block 13 are arranged sequentially along the document's forward direction. The first roller 12, as an active paper feeding component, has anti-slip textures on its surface, effectively enhancing the friction with the document surface and ensuring that a single document can be reliably gripped and conveyed forward. The friction separation block 13 adopts a guide surface design with a specific tilt angle. When potentially sticky documents pass by, the friction separation block 13 applies differentiated frictional resistance, causing the lower-layer documents to be obstructed, while the upper-layer documents pass smoothly under the continuous drive of the first roller 12, thereby achieving reliable separation of sticky documents. This ensures that only one document enters the subsequent identification and classification process at a time, completely avoiding paper jams or identification and classification errors caused by double paper feeding. This separation device, through the coordinated operation of two functional units, ensures both the reliability of paper feeding and the effectiveness of document separation, providing a stable and reliable document input guarantee for subsequent identification and classification processes.

[0042] In this embodiment, preferably, the paper feeding platform 5 is further provided with a flattening mechanism, which consists of at least one second roller 14. The second roller 14 is rotatable around its own axis, and a second paper feeding channel is formed between the second roller 14 and the paper feeding platform 5 for the passage of documents. A precise gap is maintained between the second roller 14 and the working surface of the paper feeding platform 5, forming a height-defined second paper feeding channel. When a wrinkled or curled document passes through this channel, the second roller 14 applies uniform contact pressure to the surface of the document, while its rotational movement is synchronized with the forward movement of the document, thereby effectively eliminating unevenness on the surface of the document. This flattening process not only ensures the stability of the document during transmission and avoids paper jams or transmission deviations that may be caused by document warping, but also provides a flat document surface for subsequent image recognition processes, significantly improving the quality of images captured by the camera 7 and the accuracy of the recognition algorithm. This flattening mechanism works in conjunction with the separation device to form a complete document preprocessing system, which not only improves the physical state adjustment function of the document, but also maintains the overall compactness of the device through structural optimization. It is understood that, as an alternative implementation, a dual-roller counter-rotating design is adopted, including two second rollers 14 symmetrically arranged vertically. A flattening gap is formed between these two second rollers 14, and the document is flattened on both sides through synchronous counter-rotating motion. When the document enters the flattening area between the two second rollers 14, the upper and lower rollers simultaneously apply uniform pressure to both surfaces of the document, effectively eliminating curling and wrinkles. This not only more thoroughly flattens the document surface, ensuring the document reaches an ideal flat state, but also, through the conveying force generated by the counter-rotating motion, assists in propelling the document forward, enhancing the stability of the paper feed.

[0043] In this embodiment, preferably, the paper inlet 4 is provided with a movable plate 15, which is pivotally connected to the housing 1. The movable plate 15 can swing around its pivot axis to open or close the paper inlet 4. When the movable plate 15 swings outward, the paper inlet 4 is fully open, forming sufficient space for the paper to smoothly enter the device; when the movable plate 15 swings inward, it completely covers the paper inlet 4, achieving a sealed closed state. This openable and closable structural design not only effectively prevents dust and other foreign objects from entering the device, keeping the internal transmission mechanism and optical components clean, but also avoids accidental operation when not in use. The movable plate 15 has a simple and reliable structure, is easy to operate, improves the overall protective performance of the device, and ensures the smoothness of the paper feeding process.

[0044] In this embodiment, preferably, the movable plate 15 is pivotally connected to a support rod 16. Both the movable plate 15 and the box body 1 are provided with receiving grooves 17. The receiving grooves 17 are used to receive the support rod 16. The bottom of the receiving grooves 17 allows the support rod 16 to unfold and support the movable plate 15, so that the movable plate 15 is in a horizontal state. The movable plate 15 and the box body 1 are provided with receiving grooves 17 at corresponding positions. When the device is in the storage state, the support rod 16 can be completely stored in the receiving grooves 17, maintaining the flatness of the device's appearance. When it is necessary to expand the working surface, the user can unfold the support rod 16 from the receiving grooves 17, so that its bottom is firmly supported at the bottom of the receiving grooves 17. At this time, the movable plate 15 remains in a horizontal state under the reliable support of the support rod 16. When the movable plate 15 is unfolded and fixed in a horizontal state by the support rod 16, its working surface forms a continuous and flat receiving surface with the paper feeding platform 5, effectively extending the length of the document placement area. This structural design significantly increases the temporary storage area for tickets, allowing users to place more tickets at once and providing more ample operating space for organizing and stacking tickets. This extended platform not only improves the stability of ticket placement, preventing tickets from slipping or becoming misaligned due to insufficient platform area, but also cleverly balances portability and ease of use while maintaining the device's compactness. This design allows the device to maintain a compact structure when stored while providing sufficient workspace during use, and a mechanical self-locking mechanism ensures stability during operation, effectively enhancing the device's practicality and ease of operation.

[0045] In this embodiment, preferably, the portable intelligent ticket sorting and organizing device further includes a lid 18, with the camera 7 mounted on the lid 18. The lid 18 is pivotally connected to the box body 1, and a latch 19 is provided on the swing side of the lid 18. The latch 19 cooperates with the box body 1 to close the receiving cavity 2. A sorting box 3 is slidably connected to the box body 1, and the sorting box 3 is provided with a pull handle 20. The box body 1 is provided with a lifting handle 21. An openable lid 18 is provided on the top of the box body 1, and the lid 18 is rotatably connected to the box body 1 through a pivoting mechanism. An image acquisition camera 7 is installed on the top inner side of the lid 18. This layout allows the camera 7 to be vertically aligned with the ticket transmission path below, ensuring the best image acquisition angle. A latch 19 mechanism is provided on the swing side edge of the lid 18. When the lid 18 is closed, the latch 19 forms a reliable connection with the corresponding locking structure on the box body 1, achieving complete sealing of the receiving cavity 2. This integrated design offers multiple advantages: First, integrating the camera 7 inside the cover 18 optimizes space utilization and provides a stable mounting base for the camera 7. Second, the opening structure of the cover 18 provides a convenient passage for the maintenance and cleaning of internal components. Third, the sealed structure effectively prevents dust intrusion, protecting the internal transmission mechanism and optical components, while ensuring consistent image acquisition quality through a stable installation environment, thus guaranteeing the reliability of the entire recognition system. The sliding connection structure allows the sorting box 3 to slide out smoothly when needed and to accurately return to its original position and remain fixed when stored. The pull-out handle 20 is designed for easy operation, facilitating the removal of the sorting box 3. The lifting handle 21 on the top of the box 1 conforms to the hand's grip curve, making it easy for users to hold with one hand. The pull-out handle 20 enables quick retrieval and precise positioning of the sorting box 3, while the lifting handle 21 provides a convenient carrying experience.
