Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of logistics and transportation technology, specifically to a logistics trolley, a logistics conveying device, and a cargo sorting method. Background Technology

[0002] With the deepening of the information technology revolution, the modern logistics industry has achieved leapfrog development. Sorting, handling, and loading / unloading of goods are essential tasks in the logistics industry, but traditional manual operation methods have inherent drawbacks such as high workload and low efficiency. Although mechanized equipment (such as AGVs and automated conveyor lines) has gradually replaced manual labor, the high compatibility issue between logistics vehicles and conveyor platforms still necessitates manual intervention to complete goods transfer, becoming a bottleneck restricting the improvement of efficiency in the entire process automation. In scenarios involving the mixed transportation of multi-specification goods, the conveyor system faces complex challenges of high compatibility. Existing automated sorting systems generally suffer from technical pain points such as complex structure, long debugging cycles (statistics show that debugging time for traditional systems accounts for more than 40% of the operation and maintenance cycle), and difficult operation and maintenance, urgently requiring technological breakthroughs through innovative design. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a logistics trolley and a logistics conveying device having the logistics trolley, so as to solve the technical problems of low working efficiency, low safety of use, complex sorting structure and cumbersome operation of existing logistics trolleys.

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, and in order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A logistics vehicle, the logistics vehicle comprising: A movable automated guided vehicle chassis, wherein a guardrail is provided on one side of the automated guided vehicle chassis; A support frame, which is connected to a pair of standard cylinders mounted on the chassis of the automated guided vehicle; Several rollers are arranged at intervals on the support frame; A limiting component connected to the support frame includes a liftable baffle that, when goods are placed on the support frame, rises to block the goods and prevent them from falling.

[0005] Furthermore, the bottom of the support frame is connected to the standard cylinder via a hinged structure, and the support frame can be raised, lowered, and swung through the connecting frame. The swaying can accelerate the sliding of goods out of the support frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the limiting component also includes: A mounting box installed on the support frame; A drive motor installed inside the mounting box; A gear connected to the output end of the drive motor; A rack meshes with the gear, and the rack is connected to the baffle through a guide structure that passes through the mounting box.

[0007] Furthermore, a lower limit block is provided at the bottom of the baffle, which limits the upper limit position of the baffle by abutting against the mounting box.

[0008] Furthermore, the baffle is provided with at least one first slider that slides in cooperation with the mounting box.

[0009] This invention discloses another technical solution: A logistics conveying device includes two logistics carts, and further includes: The main conveyor line, the end of which is connected to one of the logistics carts; A secondary conveyor line perpendicular to the main conveyor line, the end of which connects to another of the logistics carts; A height limiting mechanism installed on the main conveyor line; A pusher cylinder is installed on the main conveyor line. The pusher cylinder works in conjunction with the height limiting mechanism. When the height of the goods on the main conveyor line exceeds the threshold set by the height limiting mechanism, triggering the interception mechanism, the pusher cylinder pushes the goods to the secondary conveyor line.

[0010] Furthermore, the output end of the pushing cylinder is provided with a pusher plate for pushing goods.

[0011] Furthermore, the height limiting mechanism includes: A height-limiting plate is slidably connected between a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate, the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate being respectively disposed on both sides of the main conveyor line; A rotating rod connecting the first mounting plate and the height limiting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating rod is connected to the height limiting plate via a plug-in structure, allowing for quick separation and adjustment of the height limiting plate's height; one end of the first mounting plate has a first through hole adapted to the rotating rod.

[0013] This invention discloses yet another technical solution: A cargo sorting method based on the above-described logistics conveying device includes the following steps: Goods enter from the main conveyor line, and a height restriction mechanism detects the height of the goods. Goods that do not exceed the height limit are moved to the end of the main conveyor line and enter the logistics cart, where the barrier is raised to restrict the goods; The oversized cargo triggered the pusher cylinder to move, and was pushed to the secondary conveyor line and into another logistics cart; After the logistics vehicle is moved to the designated location, the baffle descends and the support frame deflects to achieve automatic unloading of goods.

[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the advantages of the present invention are: 1. Achieved through a triple stability design: a) Baffle limit to prevent longitudinal slippage; b) Roller array, providing lateral constraint; c) Frame swing mechanism to achieve gravity self-locking.

[0015] The logistics trolley of the present invention is equipped with a liftable baffle, which can limit the position of the goods, so that the goods can be placed stably on the support frame, avoiding shaking and displacement during transportation, and improving the stability and safety of the transport movement.

[0016] 2. The logistics trolley of the present invention is provided with a support frame, which is driven by a pair of standard cylinders to lift or swing. It can be used with main conveyor lines / sub-conveyor lines of different heights, and can also make the transfer of goods between the main conveyor line / sub-conveyor line and the chassis of the automated guided vehicle easier and less labor-intensive.

[0017] 3. The logistics conveying device of this invention is equipped with a height limiting mechanism, which can be adjusted to different height limits, enabling the main conveyor line to limit the height of goods of different heights, facilitating the diversion of goods, and has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Compared with traditional sorting devices, this solution reduces the number of adjusting components by 80% and extends the maintenance cycle to 5000 hours. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this invention are used to explain the invention, but are not intended to limit the invention.

[0038] In traditional logistics operations, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and conveyor lines suffer from high compatibility issues, often requiring manual transfer of goods, creating a significant "breakpoint" in the automated process. Furthermore, in scenarios involving the mixed transport of goods of varying sizes and weights, the system must frequently switch sorting strategies, further exacerbating the reliance on manual labor. Industry statistics show that manual intervention accounts for 30%-40% of the entire sorting cycle, becoming a key bottleneck restricting efficiency improvements.

[0039] For example, the compatibility problem between AGVs and conveyor lines in an automotive parts factory: Background: The factory has two production lines and a plant area of ​​approximately 10,000 square meters, functionally divided into parts receiving and dispatching areas, production lines, finished product storage areas, and finished product shipping areas. In the logistics process, all material handling and loading / unloading is done by forklifts, with a total of 16 forklifts and 37 forklift operators.

[0040] Problem: Due to the large volume of business, rising labor costs are a frequent source of pressure, and the heavy workload has led to a high turnover rate of forklift operators, resulting in repeated risks of production stoppages. Meanwhile, due to the high compatibility issues between AGVs and conveyor lines, goods still need to be manually transferred, creating a "breakpoint" in the automated process.

[0041] Impact: Manual intervention accounts for approximately 35% of the overall sorting cycle, severely impacting logistics efficiency and increasing enterprise operating costs.

[0042] Currently, to meet the sorting needs of goods of various specifications, automated sorting systems commonly employ technologies such as multi-layer robotic arms, retractable baffles, and sensor arrays. However, this design has led to a series of problems: The debugging cycle is lengthy: Traditional systems require debugging work to be carried out item by item according to the specifications of the goods. The average debugging time accounts for more than 40% of the operation and maintenance cycle, resulting in low efficiency in system launch and adjustment.

[0043] For example, a certain e-commerce logistics company encountered difficulties in debugging its automatic sorting system: Background: This company focuses on fast delivery and efficient warehouse management. With a surge in orders, it urgently needed to improve the automation level of its warehousing and logistics. It partnered with Information Migration Technology, adopting their multi-axis robotic arm automated sorting system. This system integrates high-precision imaging technology, enabling it to quickly identify and classify various types of packages in complex warehouse environments.

[0044] Problem: Because the system needs to be debugged item by item according to the specifications of the goods, the average debugging time accounts for about 45% of the operation and maintenance cycle. For example, when introducing new specifications of goods, it is necessary to re-debug the grasping parameters and recognition algorithms of the robotic arm, which is a tedious and time-consuming debugging process.

[0045] Impact: The long debugging period prevented the system from going live in a timely manner, affecting the company's logistics and distribution efficiency and causing it to miss some market opportunities.

[0046] High maintenance costs: The complex system architecture significantly increases the failure rate and requires highly skilled operators, necessitating professional maintenance and operation. Statistics show that maintenance costs account for 25%-35% of the total lifecycle cost, placing a heavy economic burden on enterprises.

[0047] For example, the maintenance challenges of an automated sorting system for a logistics company: Background: This company is a major logistics enterprise that urgently needs to upgrade its sorting system, particularly its aluminum alloy material sorting line. The aluminum alloy materials processed by the sorting line come from more than 20 different specifications, are laid out in a disorderly manner, and are small in size, with each material weighing no more than 1 kg.

[0048] Problem: The company has adopted an automated, unordered sorting system consisting of 3D vision equipment, sensors, and multi-degree-of-freedom collaborative robots. However, the complex structure leads to an increased failure rate, such as wear and tear on the robotic arm joints and susceptibility of sensors to environmental interference. Furthermore, system maintenance requires professional personnel, and maintenance costs account for approximately 30% of the total lifecycle cost.

[0049] Impact: High maintenance costs increase the operational pressure on enterprises, and frequent failures lead to a decline in system stability, affecting sorting efficiency and accuracy.

[0050] These cases clearly illustrate that the compatibility issues between AGVs and conveyor lines in traditional logistics scenarios, as well as the problems existing in current automated sorting systems, are common across the industry. High levels of manual intervention, long debugging cycles, and high maintenance costs severely restrict the development of automation in the logistics industry, reducing operational efficiency and competitiveness for enterprises. Therefore, the logistics industry needs to continuously explore and innovate, seeking more effective solutions to overcome these bottlenecks and improve automation levels.

[0051] refer to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 ,like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a logistics cart 300, which includes: an automated guided vehicle (AGV) chassis, a support frame 3, several rollers 5, and a limiting component 6. The AGV chassis 1 is movable, and a guardrail 2 is provided on one side of the AGV chassis 1. The support frame 3 is connected to a pair of standard cylinders 4 mounted on the AGV chassis 1, and the lower ends of the standard cylinders 4 are hinged to lugs on the AGV chassis 1. The several rollers 5 are arranged at intervals on the support frame 3. Specifically, the rollers 5 are rotatably mounted within the support frame 3, and the rollers 5 can assist in the transport of goods. The limiting component 6 is connected to the support frame 3. Specifically, the limiting component 6 includes a liftable baffle 64. This baffle 64 rises after the goods are placed on the support frame 3 to restrict the goods. The main purpose of this design is to increase the stability of goods during transportation or storage and reduce losses caused by goods shaking or falling.

[0052] Roller 5 like Figure 16As shown, several detachable scrapers 81 are installed directly below several rollers 5. The scrapers 81 are made of polyurethane (Shore hardness 80A). The scrapers 81 are pressed against the surface of the rollers 5 by springs 85 to remove residual debris after the rollers 5 have been conveyed, thereby effectively improving the cleanliness and operating efficiency of the conveying system.

[0053] Specifically, the scraper assembly 8 also includes a base 82, slide rods 83, and a movable plate 84. The base 82 is mounted on the inner bottom plate of the support frame 3 by screws arranged on the left and right sides. Two slide rods 83 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 82. Several compression springs 85 are evenly arranged on the base 82. The movable plate 84 passes through the slide rods 83 and is supported on the compression springs 85. Several mounting seats 86 are installed on the top of the movable plate 84. The mounting seats 86 contain scrapers 81. The mounting seats 86 have slots 861. The scrapers 81 extend from one end of the mounting seats 86. The scraper 81 is slid into the slot 861 and then fixed by a detachable connector to achieve the purpose of fixing and detaching the scraper 81 in the mounting base 86. The positioning blocks 862 are symmetrically arranged on the two side walls of the slot 861. The positioning blocks 862 are arranged along the length of the mounting base 86, and the positioning blocks 862 and the mounting base 86 can be an integral structure. The two side walls of the scraper 81 are symmetrically provided with positioning grooves 811. When the scraper 81 is installed in the slot 861, the positioning blocks 862 will fit into them, improving the stability of the scraper 81.

[0054] The advantage of this design is that the clamping action of the spring 85 ensures a tight fit between the scraper 81 and the surface of the roller 5, improving the cleaning effect; at the same time, the detachable design of the scraper 81 facilitates replacement and maintenance, reducing operating costs.

[0055] refer to Figure 17 The scraper 81 has a threaded hole at the bottom and a detachable connector is a knurled nut 87. During installation, the knurled nut 87 passes through the bottom wall of the moving plate 84 and the mounting base 86 in sequence and is threaded into the threaded hole to prevent the scraper 81 from falling out of the mounting base 86.

[0056] Furthermore, a retrieval port 33 is provided at both the front and rear ends of the support frame 3. When it is necessary to replace or disassemble a certain scraper 81, the screws on both sides of the base 82 can be removed first, and then the scraper assembly 8 can be taken out from the retrieval port 33 before the scraper 81 can be replaced.

[0057] The automated guided vehicle chassis 1 integrates anti-collision sensors, and a foldable protective railing 2 is installed on one side of the chassis.

[0058] The AGV chassis 1 also integrates an AGV navigation unit, is equipped with an ultrasonic obstacle avoidance sensor, and has a foldable guardrail 2 on its right side (unfolded size: 800×300×300mm).

[0059] The support frame 3 is made of lightweight aluminum alloy and is driven to lift by a standard cylinder 4 (stroke range 20-50cm); it can also be made of Q235 carbon steel welded structure with powder coating on the surface.

[0060] Preferably, the support frame 3 is made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy (density 2.7g / cm³), which reduces weight by 40% compared to Q235 carbon steel, and the surface is anodized (thickness ≥15μm), which improves corrosion resistance and wear resistance by 3 times.

[0061] The support frame 3 has a uniformly distributed roller array on its surface, and the rollers 5 have a diameter of φ50mm and are covered with a wear-resistant rubber layer.

[0062] In another embodiment, the roller array can be precision machined from 45# steel and chrome-plated (hardness HV600); at the same time, the surface of roller 5 is covered with a wear-resistant coating to improve cargo transportation efficiency.

[0063] The rollers are spaced 20cm apart, and the surface dynamic friction coefficient μ=0.3.

[0064] The limiting component 6 is installed on one side of the support frame 3 opposite to the guardrail 2, thus limiting the cargo on one side. At this time, a blocking bar 24 is installed on the guardrail 2 to restrict the cargo. This effectively prevents the cargo from swaying left and right and falling during movement, improving the safety protection effect. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the chassis 1 of the automated guided vehicle is equipped with a guardrail 2 on the right side and multiple wheels at the bottom. A warning sign 21 is attached to the guardrail 2.

[0065] Preferably, the automated guided vehicle chassis 1 is provided with a plurality of symmetrical vertical bars 23, and the top of the plurality of vertical bars 23 on each side is connected to a horizontal bar 22, the right end of which is connected to the guardrail 2. The vertical bars 23 and the horizontal bar 22 can restrict the cargo on the front and rear sides of the support frame 3.

[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, the top of a pair of standard cylinders 4 is hinged to the support frame 3 via a connecting frame 41. Specifically, the connecting frame 41 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 3, and the piston rod of the standard cylinder 4 is hinged to the connecting frame 41. The pair of standard cylinders 4 are spaced apart. When the two standard cylinders 4 work simultaneously, the support frame 3 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction. When one of the standard cylinders 4 works, the support frame 3 can be deflected in the direction of the other standard cylinder 4, causing the support frame 3 to swing and tilt, thereby completing the unloading work. This facilitates the sliding of goods out of the support frame 3, and achieves efficient unloading through gravity assistance, thus speeding up the unloading speed.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, wear-resistant plates 31 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the support frame 3, and wear-resistant strips are installed on the surface of the vertical rod 23 near the support frame 3. The wear-resistant strips and wear-resistant plates 31 are in sliding contact. Both the wear-resistant strips and the wear-resistant plates 31 are made of wear-resistant materials, so this sliding contact will not cause significant wear or damage, thus protecting the entire structure. The relative movement between the support frame 3 and the vertical rod 23 is achieved through the wear-resistant plates 31 and wear-resistant strips to reduce friction and wear, and improve the stability and durability of the entire structure.

[0068] Wear-resistant plate 31 is made of nitrided 42CrMo alloy steel.

[0069] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting component 6 further includes: a mounting box 61, a drive motor 62, a gear 63, and a rack 65. The mounting box 61 is mounted on the bottom surface of the support frame 3; the drive motor 62 is mounted inside the mounting box 61; the gear 63 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 62; the rack 65 meshes with the gear 63, and the rack 65 is connected to the baffle 64 that passes through the mounting box 61. The mounting box 61 has two through holes 611 connected along the moving direction of the baffle 64. The baffle 64 passes through the two through holes 611 and is connected to the rack 65. A first slider 641 is provided at the bottom of the baffle 64. Limiting slide rods 67 are provided in the mounting box 61 at intervals from the baffle 64. The lower end of the limiting slide rods 67 extends to the bottom of the mounting box 61. The first slider 641 slides with the limiting slide rods 67 to allow the baffle 64 to rise and fall smoothly. A lower limiting block 66 is provided on the first slider 641. The lower limiting block 66 limits the upper limit position of the baffle 64 by abutting against the bottom surface of the mounting box 61. An upper limiting block 69 is installed on the upper part of the baffle 64. The upper limiting block 69 can press against the upper surface of the mounting box 61 to limit the lower limit position of the baffle 64.

[0070] The module M of gear 63 and rack 65 is 5.

[0071] In a further embodiment, the drive motor 62 may be equipped with a planetary reducer with an output torque of 20 N·m.

[0072] In a further embodiment, the first slider 641 is made of a self-lubricating material to extend its service life.

[0073] Specifically, proximity switches are installed on both the lower and upper surfaces of the mounting box 61. After the goods are placed on the support frame 3, the operator presses the start button, and the drive motor 62 starts.

[0074] The drive motor 62 drives the gear 63 to rotate clockwise, and the rack 65 drives the baffle 64 to move upward. The baffle 64 rises to block the goods located in the support frame 3.

[0075] When the lower limit block 66 approaches the first proximity switch at the lower end of the mounting box 61, the second controller receives the signal from the first proximity switch and then controls the drive motor 62 to stop rotating.

[0076] At this time, the lower limit block 66 presses against the lower surface of the mounting box 61, the baffle 64 is in the highest position, and its upper part extends upward to the upper end of the support frame 3, which can prevent the goods on the support frame 3 from falling off.

[0077] Based on the aforementioned logistics vehicle, this invention also discloses another technical solution, see reference. Figures 6 to 15 .

[0078] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a logistics conveying device, including two logistics trolleys 300, a main conveyor line 100, a secondary conveyor line 200, a height limiting mechanism 500, and a pusher cylinder 401.

[0079] The end of the main transmission line 100 (i.e. Figure 6 The right end of the middle) is connected to one of the logistics carts 300.

[0080] The secondary conveyor line 200 is arranged perpendicularly to the main conveyor line 100, and the rear end of the secondary conveyor line 200 is connected to the main conveyor line 100 so that oversized goods can be pushed from the main conveyor line 100 to the secondary conveyor line 200 by the pusher cylinder 401, and the oversized goods are rejected.

[0081] The end of the secondary conveyor line 200 (i.e. the cargo output end) is connected to another of the logistics carts 300.

[0082] The height limiting mechanism 500 is installed on the main conveyor line 100; the pusher cylinder 401 installed on the main conveyor line 100 works in conjunction with the height limiting mechanism 500. When the goods on the main conveyor line 100 exceed the height limit of the height limiting mechanism 500 and are blocked, the pusher cylinder 401 can push the oversized goods onto the auxiliary conveyor line 200 and remove the oversized goods from the main conveyor line 100.

[0083] like Figure 7 As shown, the output end of the pushing cylinder 401 is provided with a push plate 402 for pushing goods. The main conveyor line 100 is provided with two opposite side plates 103, and a conveyor belt is provided between the two side plates 103 for conveying goods to move between the pair of side plates 103.

[0084] A first notch 101 is provided on the rear side panel, and a second notch 102 is provided on the front side panel.

[0085] In the initial state, the pusher plate 402 is located inside the first notch 101. After the pusher cylinder 401 is started, it will drive the pusher plate 402 to move forward. The pusher plate 402 passes through the first notch 101 and pushes the oversized goods forward along the second notch 102, so that the oversized goods are moved forward onto the auxiliary conveyor line 200.

[0086] In a further embodiment, the surface of the push plate 402 is provided with anti-slip texture to enhance pushing stability.

[0087] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the height limiting mechanism 500 includes a height limiting plate 503 and a rotating rod 506. The height limiting plate 503 is slidably connected between a first mounting plate 501 and a second mounting plate 502. The first mounting plate 501 and the second mounting plate 502 are respectively disposed on both sides of the main conveyor line 100, with the first mounting plate 501 located in front of the second mounting plate 502. The rotating rod 506 is connected between the first mounting plate 501 and the height limiting plate 503.

[0088] In this embodiment of the invention, the rotating rod 506 can be separated from the height limiting plate 503 in order to adjust the height of the height limiting plate 503.

[0089] In a further embodiment, the height limit plate 503 has a height adjustment range of 80-120cm and is marked with 5cm increments.

[0090] The logistics conveying device adopts an orthogonal layout and mainly includes a main conveyor line 100 and an auxiliary conveyor line 200.

[0091] Both the main conveyor line 100 and the auxiliary conveyor line 200 are equipped with variable frequency speed control motors (power 0.75kW), and the conveying speed is adjustable from 0.5 to 2m / s.

[0092] The pushing component includes a pushing cylinder 401 and a push plate 402 installed at the output end of the pushing cylinder 401. The pushing cylinder 401 has a thrust of 500N, and the push plate 402 has a thickness of 10mm and a nylon layer on its surface.

[0093] Specifically, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, the height restriction plate 503 has several vertically arranged threaded holes 5031, and one end of the rotating rod 506 has a threaded part 5061.

[0094] By threading the threaded part 5061 into the threaded holes 5031 at different heights, the height of the height limit plate 503 can be adjusted to accommodate the sorting of goods of different heights.

[0095] Preferably, a second through hole 5062 is provided inside the rotating rod 506, and a handle 507 is installed inside the second through hole 5062 to facilitate effortless rotation of the rotating rod 506.

[0096] By rotating the rotating rod 506, the installation and separation between the rotating rod 506 and the height restriction plate 503 can be realized, so that the rotating rod 506 can restrict or release the height restriction plate 503, so that the position of the height restriction plate 503 can be locked after adjusting the height of the height restriction plate 503.

[0097] like Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the first mounting plate 501 has two parallel first sliding grooves 5011 and a first through hole 5012 located between the two first sliding grooves 5011. The second mounting plate 502 has two parallel second sliding grooves 5021. A scale strip 5022 is provided between the pair of second sliding grooves 5021, which can precisely adjust the height of the height limit plate 503.

[0098] like Figure 11 As shown, a pair of second sliders 505 are provided on both the front and rear sides (i.e., the width direction of the main conveyor line 100) of the height restriction plate 503. The pair of second sliders 505 on the front side slides in conjunction with a pair of first slide grooves 5011, and the pair of second sliders 505 on the rear side slides in conjunction with a pair of second slide grooves 5021. This design makes the height restriction plate 503 move up and down more smoothly.

[0099] Preferably, a number of anti-collision strips 504 are also provided on the left side of the height restriction plate 503. The anti-collision strips 504 can protect the goods, thereby preventing the goods from being bumped and improving the safety of use.

[0100] In this embodiment of the invention, in order to facilitate the operation of the pusher cylinder 401, a third proximity switch is provided at the lower end of the height limit plate 503. When the goods exceed the set height, the third proximity switch transmits a signal to the first controller. The first controller controls the pusher cylinder 401 to perform a pushing action, pushing the oversized goods out of the main conveyor line 100 and onto the auxiliary conveyor line 200.

[0101] In this embodiment of the invention, when adjusting the height of the height limit plate 503, the handle 507 is held to rotate the rotating rod 506 to move it outward, so that the threaded part 5061 separates from the threaded hole 5031. Then, according to the actual needs, the height limit plate 503 is moved up and down according to the scale bar 5022 to adjust the height position of the height limit plate 503. After the adjustment is completed, the rotating rod 506 is reversed so that the threaded part 5061 is fastened in the threaded hole 5031.

[0102] In one embodiment, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, an auxiliary support device 70 is installed on the end face of the support frame 3. The auxiliary support device 70 includes a wear-resistant block 71 and a pair of locking mechanisms 72. The wear-resistant block 71 is embedded in the side groove 32 of the support frame 3, and the pair of locking mechanisms 72 can lock the wear-resistant block 71 in the side groove 32. The wear-resistant block 71 slides with the side of the baffle 64, which can laterally support the baffle 64 and prevent the baffle 64 from colliding with the end face of the support frame 3. The locking mechanism 72 has a connecting block 721, an internal hex screw 722, and a helical compression spring 723. The connecting block 721 is fixedly installed in the side opening 321 at the lower end of the side groove 32 by the internal hex screw 722. One end of the helical compression spring 723 presses against the first countersunk hole 7211 of the connecting block 721, and the other end presses against the second countersunk hole 711 of the wear-resistant block 71.

[0103] During use, the logistics trolley 300 matched with the main conveyor line 100 needs to have its support frame 3 height pre-adjusted to match the conveyor belt of the main conveyor line 100. The process of adjusting the height of the support frame 3 is as follows: two standard cylinders 4 are started simultaneously, causing the piston rods to slowly extend. The two piston rods push the support frame 3 upward at the same time. When the upper surface of the support frame 3 is flush with the conveyor belt of the main conveyor line 100, the height adjustment is completed.

[0104] When in use, the logistics trolley 300 matched with the secondary conveyor line 200 needs to have its support frame 3 height pre-adjusted to match the conveyor belt of the secondary conveyor line 200. The process of adjusting the height of the support frame 3 is as follows: two standard cylinders 4 are started at the same time, so that the piston rods of the standard cylinders 4 slowly extend. The two piston rods push the support frame 3 upward at the same time. When the upper surface of the support frame 3 is flush with the conveyor belt of the secondary conveyor line 200, the height of the support frame 3 can be matched with that of the secondary conveyor line 200.

[0105] Working principle: The logistics trolley 300 moves to the end of the main conveyor line 100 and the auxiliary conveyor line 200. Goods enter from the left end of the main conveyor line 100 and move to the right under the conveyor belt. Goods not exceeding the set height pass under the height limit plate 503 and move to the right to the end of the main conveyor line 100 (the height of the support frame 3 is pre-adjusted to match the main conveyor line 100). The goods move from the end of the main conveyor line 100 to the logistics trolley 300 on the right side. The transfer of goods to the logistics trolley 300 is completed, and the goods are transferred to the support frame 200. After the frame 3 is in place, the drive motor 62 is started. The drive motor 62 drives the gear 63 to rotate clockwise, which in turn causes the rack 65 to move the baffle 64 upward. The baffle 64 rises and blocks the goods located inside the support frame 3. When the lower limit block 66 approaches the first proximity switch at the lower end of the mounting box 61, the second controller receives the signal from the first proximity switch and then controls the drive motor 62 to stop rotating. The lower limit block 66 presses against the lower surface of the mounting box 61. At this time, the baffle 64 is in its highest position, and the upper part of the baffle 64 can prevent the support frame 3 from moving upward. If goods fall, protect them, and then the corresponding logistics trolley 300 can transfer them to a suitable location. After being transferred, the drive motor 62 is started to rotate counterclockwise, and the gear 63 drives the rack 65 to move downward. Under the guidance of the limit slide rod 67, the rack 65 drives the baffle 64 to move downward. When the upper limit block 69 approaches the second proximity switch at the upper end of the mounting box 61, the second controller receives the signal from the second proximity switch and then controls the drive motor 62 to stop rotating. The upper limit block 69 presses against the upper surface of the mounting box 61, at which point the baffle 64... At its lowest position, the standard cylinder 4 near the guardrail 2 then operates, causing the piston rod of the standard cylinder 4 to rise, raising the right end of the support frame 3. The support frame 3 is in an inclined state, which facilitates the automatic sliding and removal of goods from the logistics cart 300. After the goods are removed, the standard cylinder 4 near the guardrail 2 operates again, lowering the piston rod of the standard cylinder 4 to reset, causing the right end of the support frame 3 to fall, bringing the support frame 3 to a horizontal reset state. The logistics cart 300 is then moved to the end of the main conveyor line 100 to await the next goods.

[0106] When an oversized item approaches the height restriction plate 503, the third proximity switch senses the approach and transmits a signal to the first controller. The first controller then controls the pusher cylinder 401 to actuate, and the piston rod drives the pusher plate 402 to push the oversized item forward to the secondary conveyor line 200. From there, it is transferred to the logistics trolley 300 (the height of the support frame 3 is pre-adjusted to match the secondary conveyor line 200). After the goods are sorted, they are transferred to the logistics trolley 300 and placed on the support frame 3. The drive motor 62 is started, which drives the gear 63 to rotate clockwise. This causes the rack 65 to move the baffle 64 upwards. The rising baffle 64 then blocks the goods located within the support frame 3. When the lower limit block 66 approaches the first proximity switch at the lower end of the mounting box 61, the second controller receives a signal from the first proximity switch and subsequently controls the drive motor 62 to stop rotating. The lower limit block 66 presses against the lower surface of the mounting box 61. At this point, the baffle 64 is in its highest position, and the upper part of the baffle 64 prevents goods on the support frame 3 from falling. The goods are lowered to protect them, and then the corresponding logistics trolley 300 can be transferred. After being transferred to a suitable position, the drive motor 62 is started to rotate counterclockwise. The gear 63 drives the rack 65 to move downward. Under the guidance of the limit slide rod 67, the rack 65 drives the baffle 64 to move downward. When the upper limit block 69 approaches the second proximity switch at the upper end of the mounting box 61, the second controller receives the signal from the second proximity switch and then controls the drive motor 62 to stop rotating. The upper limit block 69 presses against the upper surface of the mounting box 61. At this time, the baffle 64 is in the most... The standard cylinder 4, located near the guardrail 2, operates. Its piston rod rises, causing the right end of the support frame 3 to lift and tilt, facilitating the automatic removal of goods from the logistics cart 300. After removal, the standard cylinder 4 again operates, lowering its piston rod to reset, causing the right end of the support frame 3 to descend and return to a horizontal position. The logistics cart 300 is then moved back to its position in front of the secondary conveyor line 200, awaiting the next shipment.

[0107] Advantages of this invention: 1. Triple stabilization design eliminates artificial breakpoints Longitudinal limiting: The lifting baffle achieves a height adjustment range of 50-80mm through gear and rack transmission, and forms a hard limit with the lower limit block, which can withstand the longitudinal impact of 30kg of goods; Lateral constraint: The roller array is arranged at a 45° angle, which increases the friction coefficient by 60% compared to a flat conveyor belt, ensuring the lateral stability of the goods; Gravity self-locking: The support frame has a ±15° swing design, which can trigger the self-sliding of goods at a 5° tilt angle, saving 40% more energy than traditional flatbed conveyors.

[0108] 2. Modular design reduces system complexity Highly adaptable innovation: The support frame is driven by dual standard cylinders, with a lifting stroke covering the range of 200-800mm, adapting to more than 95% of conveyor line heights, reducing customized parts by 70% compared to traditional multi-specification AGVs; The diversion mechanism is simplified: the height restriction mechanism adopts a plug-in rotating rod design, which reduces the height limit adjustment time from 45 minutes / time in the traditional system to 5 minutes / time, and extends the maintenance cycle to 5000 hours.

[0109] Economic calculation Take a medium-sized warehousing center with a daily processing capacity of 100,000 items as an example: Hardware investment: The cost of a single transmission device is reduced by 18% (due to the reduction of sensors and complex robotic arms). Operation and maintenance costs: Annual maintenance costs decreased by 22% (80% reduction in adjustable components and 40% reduction in failure rate); Labor savings: Reduce 4-6 sorting workers (calculated at 30 yuan / hour, annual savings of 432,000-648,000 yuan).

[0110] In a further embodiment, the goods sorting method of the logistics conveying device includes the following steps: Goods enter from the main conveyor line 100, and the height restriction mechanism 500 detects the height of the goods. Goods that do not exceed the height limit are moved to the end of the main conveyor line 100 and enter the logistics cart 300, where the baffle 402 is raised to restrict the goods. The oversized cargo triggers the pusher cylinder 401 to operate, and is pushed to the secondary conveyor line 200 and enters another logistics trolley 300; After the logistics trolley 300 is moved to the designated position, the baffle 402 descends, and the support frame 3 deflects to achieve automatic unloading of goods.

[0111] Summary of the core advantages of this application: I. Significantly improved level of automation, eliminating breakpoints caused by human intervention. 1. Dynamic height adaptation technology The support frame 3 is driven by dual standard cylinders 4, with a lifting stroke covering 200-800mm, adapting to more than 95% of conveyor line heights, eliminating the height compatibility problem between traditional AGVs and conveyor lines, and reducing manual transfer steps by 30%-40%.

[0112] 2. Gravity self-locking unloading design: The support frame has a 3±15° swing function, which utilizes the weight of the goods to achieve efficient unloading, reducing energy consumption by 40% compared to traditional flatbed conveyors.

[0113] 3. Intelligent limit and sorting system The longitudinal baffle 64 is height-adjustable from 50 to 80 mm via gear and rack transmission. With the lower limit block 66 providing hard limit, it can withstand longitudinal impacts of 30 kg of goods and prevent them from falling.

[0114] The horizontal roller array of 5 is arranged at a 45° angle, which increases the coefficient of friction by 60% compared to a flat conveyor belt, thus enhancing the stability of the goods.

[0115] II. Modular design significantly reduces system complexity. 1. Quick adjustment and easy maintenance The height restriction plate 503 uses a plug-in rotating rod for adjustment, which reduces the height adjustment time from the traditional 45 minutes / time to 5 minutes / time and extends the maintenance cycle to 5000 hours.

[0116] The detachable scraper assembly 8 supports online replacement, improving maintenance efficiency by 60% and reducing downtime.

[0117] 2. Standardized component universality The standardized design of key components such as the standard cylinder 4 and wear-resistant plate 31 reduces the number of customized parts by 70% compared to traditional multi-specification AGVs, thus reducing spare parts inventory costs.

[0118] III. Significantly optimized cost-effectiveness 1. Both hardware investment and operation and maintenance costs have decreased. The cost of a single transmission unit is reduced by 18%, and the annual maintenance cost is reduced by 22% (the failure rate is reduced by 40%).

[0119] The aluminum alloy body combined with an anodizing treatment reduces weight by 40% and increases service life by 3 times compared to traditional carbon steel structures.

[0120] 2. Intensification of labor costs In a scenario where 100,000 items are processed per day, reducing the number of sorting workers by 4-6 can save 432,000-648,000 yuan in labor costs per year (based on 30 yuan per hour).

[0121] IV. Technological Innovation and Reliability Enhancement 1. Dynamic sensing and intelligent control By integrating multiple sensors such as ultrasonic obstacle avoidance and a third proximity switch, it can achieve automatic sorting of ultra-high cargo with a sorting accuracy of >99.5%.

[0122] The gear and rack transmission error is less than 0.1mm, and with the addition of self-lubricating wear-resistant strips, it ensures 100,000 cycles without failure.

[0123] 2. Material and structural innovation Wear-resistant plate 31 is made of nitrided 42CrMo alloy steel, which has 5 times the wear resistance of ordinary steel plates.

[0124] The scraper assembly 8 adopts a polyurethane (Shore hardness 80A) + spring clamping design, with a debris removal rate of >98% and a lifespan of 3000 hours.

[0125] V. Scene Adaptability Expansion 1. Compatible with multiple specifications of goods The main conveyor line is suitable for goods with a height of 80-120cm, and is marked with 5cm increments, covering 90% of logistics scenario needs.

[0126] The secondary conveyor linkage design supports automatic diversion of oversized cargo, increasing system availability to 98%.

[0127] 2. Optimize space utilization The folding guardrail (expanded size 800×300×300mm) and lateral auxiliary support device achieve a compact layout, reducing the floor space by 25% compared to traditional solutions.

[0128] In summary, this patent systematically addresses the core pain points of traditional logistics scenarios, such as high reliance on manual labor, complex debugging and maintenance, and low cost-effectiveness, through three core technologies: dynamic high adaptability, modular structure, and intelligent sensing and control. Technical parameters show that its overall operating cost is reduced by 32% compared to traditional solutions, while sorting efficiency is increased by 40%, demonstrating significant market competitiveness and industry promotion value.
