Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of logistics and transportation, and specifically relates to an e-commerce product warehousing and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, e-commerce product sorting often requires manual labor, increasing sorting costs and time. The repetitive bending, carrying, and scanning of barcodes over extended periods is physically demanding and monotonous. Fatigue can also lead to operator distraction, resulting in missorting, omissions, or duplicate sorting, causing packages to be sent incorrectly, lost, or delayed, increasing after-sales claims and secondary reshipment costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device capable of sorting e-commerce products. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, this application provides an e-commerce product inbound conveying device that can sort e-commerce products.

[0004] This application provides an e-commerce product receiving and conveying device, including a main conveyor line and a feeding mechanism. The main conveyor line includes a transport section and a sorting section arranged along the conveying direction. The feeding mechanism is located on one side of the sorting section and is used to receive products diverted from the main conveyor line. The sorting section includes a first mounting frame, a plurality of first rollers, a first drive mechanism, and a second drive mechanism. The plurality of first rollers are disposed on the first mounting frame and arranged along the conveying direction. The axis of the first rollers is parallel to the width direction of the sorting section. Each first roller includes a first sub-roller and a second sub-roller. Along the width direction, the second sub-roller is located on the side of the first sub-roller away from the feeding mechanism. The first drive mechanism is used to drive the first sub-roller to rotate at a first angular velocity. When energized, the second drive mechanism is used to drive the second sub-roller to rotate at a second angular velocity, which is greater than the first angular velocity.

[0005] Specifically, when a product does not need to be sorted in the sorting section, the second drive mechanism of the sorting section is not energized. At this time, the second sub-roller is driven to rotate by the product, and its rotational angular velocity is less than the first angular velocity. This causes the speed of the part of the product moving on the first sub-roller to be greater than the speed of the part of the product moving on the second sub-roller, thereby causing the product to deflect away from the unloading mechanism and thus preventing the product from being received by the unloading mechanism. When a product needs to be sorted in the sorting section, the second drive mechanism of the sorting section is energized. At this time, the angular velocity of the second sub-roller is the second angular velocity, which is greater than the first angular velocity. This causes the speed of the part of the product moving on the first sub-roller to be less than the speed of the part of the product moving on the second sub-roller, thereby causing the product to deflect towards the unloading mechanism and thus allowing the product to be received by the unloading mechanism, so as to complete the sorting of products during the transportation of each product.

[0006] In some embodiments, the first roller shaft further includes a drive shaft and a bearing. A first sub-roller is sleeved on a portion of the drive shaft and fixedly connected to the drive shaft. The bearing is sleeved on a portion of the drive shaft, and a second sub-roller is sleeved on the bearing and mounted to the drive shaft via the bearing. One end of the drive shaft protruding from the second sub-roller is connected to a first drive mechanism, and the end of the second sub-roller away from the first sub-roller is connected to a second drive mechanism.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the second sub-roller is mounted on the drive shaft by bearings, so that the second sub-roller can rotate independently relative to the drive shaft, thereby ensuring that the rotation of the first sub-roller and the second sub-roller does not interfere with each other, and thus facilitating the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism to drive the first sub-roller and the second sub-roller to rotate at different angular velocities respectively.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism includes a first drive motor, a first drive wheel, a plurality of first driven wheels, and a first transmission chain. The first drive wheel is disposed at the output end of the first drive motor. The plurality of first driven wheels are correspondingly disposed at one end of the drive shaft protruding from the second sub-roller. The first transmission chain is sleeved on the first drive wheel and the first driven wheels. The second drive mechanism includes a second drive motor, a second drive wheel, a plurality of second driven wheels, and a second transmission chain. The second drive wheel is disposed at the output end of the second drive motor. The plurality of second driven wheels are correspondingly disposed at the end of the second sub-roller away from the first sub-roller. The second transmission chain is sleeved on the second drive wheel and the second driven wheels.

[0009] In the above technical solution, by setting a first driving wheel, multiple first driven wheels and a first transmission chain, and simultaneously setting a second driving wheel, multiple second driven wheels and a second transmission chain, the first drive motor can simultaneously drive multiple first sub-rollers to rotate, and the second drive motor can simultaneously drive multiple second sub-rollers to rotate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first mounting bracket includes a first wall portion. The first wall portion is located at the end of the first roller shaft away from the feeding mechanism, and has a first surface facing the first roller shaft for contacting the product. The e-commerce product receiving and conveying device further includes a guiding mechanism. The guiding mechanism is disposed on the first wall portion and has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the guiding mechanism protrudes from the first surface and guides the product toward the feeding mechanism. In the second position, the guiding mechanism does not protrude from the first surface.

[0011] In the above technical solution, by setting up a guiding architecture to guide the products that need to be sorted, the risk of missorting, omission, or duplicate sorting caused by product delays is reduced.

[0012] In some embodiments, the guiding mechanism includes a flexible belt, a first elastic member, and a telescopic assembly. A first wall portion has a receiving cavity, and a first surface has a first opening communicating with the receiving cavity. The first opening has a first edge and a second edge disposed opposite each other in the conveying direction, with the first edge located upstream of the second edge. The flexible belt is disposed within the receiving cavity, and one end of the flexible belt is connected to the opening at the first edge. The first elastic member is located within the receiving cavity and downstream of the second edge. The first elastic member is connected to the other end of the flexible belt and is used to apply an elastic force to the flexible belt to retract it back into the receiving cavity through the first opening. The telescopic assembly is located between the first and second edges, and one end of the telescopic assembly abuts against the flexible belt along its width direction. In a first position, one end of the telescopic assembly causes the flexible belt to extend out of the first opening. In a second position, the guiding mechanism retracts into the first opening.

[0013] In the above technical solution, by setting a flexible belt and a telescopic component, a guide surface is formed to guide the product when the telescopic component extends out of the first surface. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0014] In some embodiments, the telescopic assembly includes a fixed cylinder and a telescopic rod. The fixed cylinder is mounted on a first wall portion, and its inner peripheral wall is provided with a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove that communicate with each other. A portion of the telescopic rod is located inside the fixed cylinder, and a guide block is provided on the periphery of the telescopic rod. The guide block is located within the first and second sliding grooves. When the guide block is located within the first sliding groove, the telescopic rod can extend out of the fixed cylinder, causing the guide mechanism to move from a second position to a first position. The guide block moves along the second sliding groove to retract the telescopic rod into the fixed cylinder and to move the guide mechanism from the first position to the second position. The telescopic rod rotates relative to the fixed cylinder to cause the guide block to alternately move along the first and second sliding grooves. The telescopic rod is drively connected to a second drive motor, which is also used to drive the telescopic rod to rotate relative to the fixed cylinder.

[0015] In the above technical solution, by configuring the second drive motor to drive the telescopic rod to rotate relative to the fixed cylinder, the complexity of the e-commerce product inbound conveying device is reduced without the need for an additional drive mechanism.

[0016] In some embodiments, the telescopic assembly includes a rotary cylinder and a second elastic member. The rotary cylinder is rotatably mounted on the other end of the fixed cylinder located outside the first wall portion. The rotary cylinder has a splined hole, and the telescopic rod has a splined portion inserted into and adapted to the splined hole. The second elastic member is disposed within the splined hole and is used to provide elastic force to the splined portion to drive a portion of the telescopic rod to extend out of the first wall portion when the guide block is located within the first groove. A second drive motor is used to drive the rotary cylinder to rotate, thereby causing the telescopic rod to rotate relative to the fixed cylinder.

[0017] In the above technical solution, by configuring a spline hole in the rotary cylinder and configuring the spline part of the telescopic rod to fit the spline hole, the telescopic rod can extend and retract relative to the rotary cylinder and the fixed cylinder while following the rotation of the rotary cylinder. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0018] In some embodiments, the second drive mechanism further includes a driving gear, a driven gear, and a first reducer. The driving gear is connected to the output end of the second drive motor. The driven gear is connected to the rotary cylinder, and the first reducer is used to drive the driving gear and the driven gear.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the driving gear and the driven gear are connected by the first reducer, so that the second drive mechanism can drive the telescopic rod to extend and retract according to the sorting situation, thereby sorting the products more accurately.

[0020] In some embodiments, the transport section includes a second mounting frame and a plurality of second rollers. The plurality of second rollers are disposed on the second mounting frame and arranged along the conveying direction, with the axes of the second rollers parallel to the width direction of the transport section. The first drive mechanism also includes a plurality of third driven wheels, each corresponding to one end of a second roller, and a first conveyor chain sleeved around the third driven wheels.

[0021] In the above technical solution, by setting up a first conveyor chain and multiple third driven wheels, the first drive motor can also drive multiple second roller shafts to rotate, thus eliminating the need for an additional drive mechanism and simplifying the e-commerce product warehousing conveyor device.

[0022] In some embodiments, the first roller shaft includes a third sub-roller, which is located on the side of the first sub-roller closer to the feeding mechanism along the width direction. The sorting section includes a third drive mechanism for driving the third sub-roller to rotate at a third angular velocity or a fourth angular velocity, wherein the third angular velocity is opposite to the direction of the first angular velocity, and the fourth angular velocity is greater than the first angular velocity.

[0023] Specifically, when the product does not need to be sorted in the sorting section, the third drive mechanism of the sorting section drives the third sub-roller to rotate at a third angular velocity, so that the movement speed of the part of the product on the third sub-roller is greater than the movement speed of the part of the product on the first sub-roller, thereby causing the product to deflect away from the unloading mechanism, and thus preventing the product from being received by the unloading mechanism; when the product needs to be sorted in the sorting section, the third drive mechanism of the sorting section drives the third sub-roller to rotate at a fourth angular velocity, so that the movement direction of the part of the product on the fourth sub-roller is opposite to the movement direction of the part of the product on the first sub-roller, thereby causing the product to deflect away from the unloading mechanism, and thus preventing the product from being received by the unloading mechanism.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0029] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0030] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-9 This application provides an e-commerce product receiving and conveying device 100, including a main conveyor line 10 and a feeding mechanism 20. The main conveyor line 10 includes a transport section 12 and a sorting section 11 arranged along the conveying direction. The feeding mechanism 20 is located on one side of the sorting section 11 and is used to receive products diverted from the main conveyor line 10. The sorting section 11 includes a first mounting frame 111, a plurality of first rollers 112, a first drive mechanism (not shown in the figure), and a second drive mechanism 114. The plurality of first rollers 112 are disposed on the first mounting frame 111 and arranged along the conveying direction. The axis of the first rollers 112 is parallel to the width direction of the sorting section 11. The first rollers 112 include a first sub-roller body 1121 and a second sub-roller body 1122. Along the width direction, the second sub-roller body 1122 is located on the side of the first sub-roller body 1121 away from the feeding mechanism 20. The first drive mechanism is used to drive the first sub-roller body 1121 to rotate at a first angular velocity. When energized, the second drive mechanism 114 drives the second sub-roller 1122 to rotate at a second angular velocity, which is greater than the first angular velocity.

[0032] Understandably, the unloading mechanism 20 can be a conveyor line located in the sorting section 11. For example, the unloading mechanism 20 can be a belt conveyor or a conveyor line with rollers. The unloading mechanism 20 can be equipped with a drive mechanism to move the belt or rollers so that the products it receives move away from the main conveyor line 10.

[0033] Understandably, the e-commerce product inbound conveyor 100 may have a first identification mechanism before the sorting section 11. This first identification mechanism can be a barcode or QR code identification mechanism, which scans the product's barcode or QR code to identify the product's information and transmits this information to the controller of the e-commerce product inbound conveyor 100. The controller then determines whether the product should be sorted in the sorting section 11 and whether to supply power to the second drive mechanism 114. For example, the first identification mechanism can be a laser barcode scanner, a high-speed CCD scanner, or a multi-faceted barcode scanning matrix.

[0034] Specifically, when the product does not need to be sorted in the sorting section 11, the second drive mechanism 114 of the sorting section 11 is not energized. At this time, the second sub-roller 1122 is driven to rotate by the product, and its rotational angular velocity is less than the first angular velocity. This causes the speed of the part of the product moving on the first sub-roller 1121 to be greater than the speed of the part of the product moving on the second sub-roller 1122, thereby causing the product to deflect away from the unloading mechanism 20, and thus preventing the product from being received by the unloading mechanism 20. When the product needs to be sorted in the sorting section 11, the second drive mechanism 114 of the sorting section 11 is energized. At this time, the angular velocity of the second sub-roller 1122 is the second angular velocity, which is greater than the first angular velocity. This causes the speed of the part of the product moving on the first sub-roller 1121 to be less than the speed of the part of the product moving on the second sub-roller 1122, thereby causing the product to deflect towards the unloading mechanism 20, and thus allowing the product to be received by the unloading mechanism 20, so as to complete the sorting of the products during the transportation of each product.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of this application, the first roller 112 further includes a drive shaft 1124 and a bearing 1125. A first sub-roller 1121 is sleeved on a portion of the drive shaft 1124 and fixedly connected to the drive shaft 1124. The bearing 1125 is sleeved on a portion of the drive shaft 1124, and a second sub-roller 1122 is sleeved on the bearing 1125 and mounted on the drive shaft 1124 via the bearing 1125. One end of the drive shaft 1124 protruding from the second sub-roller 1122 is connected to a first drive mechanism, and the end of the second sub-roller 1122 away from the first sub-roller 1121 is connected to a second drive mechanism 114.

[0036] In this technical solution, the second sub-roller 1122 is mounted on the transmission shaft 1124 via the bearing 1125, so that the second sub-roller 1122 can rotate independently relative to the transmission shaft 1124, thereby ensuring that the rotation of the first sub-roller 1121 and the second sub-roller 1122 does not interfere with each other, and thus facilitating the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism 114 to drive the first sub-roller 1121 and the second sub-roller 1122 to rotate at different angular velocities.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3According to some embodiments of this application, the first drive mechanism includes a first drive motor (not shown in the figure), a first drive wheel (not shown in the figure), a plurality of first driven wheels 11421131, and a first transmission chain (not shown in the figure). The first drive wheel is disposed at the output end of the first drive motor. The plurality of first driven wheels 11421131 are correspondingly disposed on the drive shaft 1124 protruding from one end of the second sub-roller 1122. The first transmission chain is sleeved on the first drive wheel and the first driven wheels 11421131. The second drive mechanism 114 includes a second drive motor 1141, a second drive wheel (not shown in the figure), a plurality of second driven wheels, and a second transmission chain (not shown in the figure). The second drive wheel is disposed at the output end of the second drive motor 1141. The plurality of second driven wheels are correspondingly disposed on the end of the second sub-roller 1122 away from the first sub-roller 1121. The second transmission chain is sleeved on the second drive wheel and the second driven wheel.

[0038] Understandably, the first transmission chain is a chain, and the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel 11421131 are both sprockets. The first transmission chain meshes with both the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel 11421131. The second transmission chain is a chain, and the second driving wheel and the second driven wheel are both sprockets. The second transmission chain meshes with both the second driving wheel and the second driven wheel.

[0039] In this technical solution, by setting a first driving wheel, multiple first driven wheels 11421131 and a first transmission chain, and simultaneously setting a second driving wheel, multiple second driven wheels and a second transmission chain, the first drive motor can simultaneously drive multiple first sub-rollers 1121 to rotate, and the second drive motor 1141 can simultaneously drive multiple second sub-rollers 1122 to rotate.

[0040] Understandably, the first driving wheel is connected to the output of the first motor via a reducer, and the second driving wheel is connected to the output of the second motor via a reducer. According to some embodiments of this application, the first mounting bracket 111 includes a first wall portion 1111. The first wall portion 1111 is located at the end of the first roller 112 away from the feeding mechanism 20. The first wall portion 1111 has a first surface 1111A facing the first roller 112, and the first surface 1111A is used to abut against the product. The e-commerce product warehousing conveying device 100 also includes a guiding mechanism 30. The guiding mechanism 30 is disposed on the first wall portion 1111 and has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the guiding mechanism 30 protrudes from the first surface 1111A and is used to guide the product to move towards the feeding mechanism 20. In the second position, the guiding mechanism 30 does not protrude from the first surface 1111A.

[0041] In this technical solution, by setting up a guiding architecture to guide the products that need to be sorted, the risk of missorting, omission, or duplicate sorting caused by product delays is reduced.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this application, the guiding mechanism 30 includes a flexible belt 31, a first elastic member 33, and a telescopic assembly 32. A first wall portion 1111 has a receiving cavity, and a first surface 1111A has a first opening communicating with the receiving cavity. The first opening has a first edge 1111B and a second edge 1111C disposed opposite each other in the conveying direction. The first edge 1111B is located upstream of the second edge 1111C. The flexible belt 31 is disposed within the receiving cavity, and one end of the flexible belt 31 is connected to the opening at the first edge 1111B. The first elastic member 33 is located within the receiving cavity and downstream of the second edge 1111C. The first elastic member 33 is connected to the other end of the flexible belt 31 and is used to apply an elastic force to the flexible belt 31 to drive the flexible belt 31 to retract into the receiving cavity through the first opening. The telescopic assembly 32 is located between the first edge 1111B and the second edge 1111C. One end of the telescopic assembly 32 abuts against the flexible belt 31 along its width direction. In the first position, one end of the telescopic assembly 32 drives the flexible belt 31 to extend out of the first opening. In the second position, the guide mechanism 30 retracts into the first opening.

[0043] For example, the first elastic element 33 can be an elastic rope or a spring. One end of the first elastic element 33 can be connected to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity, and the other end of the first elastic element 33 can be connected to the end of the flexible band 31 away from the first edge 1111B.

[0044] Specifically, when one end of the telescopic component 32 extends out of the first opening, it causes the flexible belt 31 to deform, causing the end of the flexible belt 31 away from the first edge 1111B to move closer to the second edge 1111C, thus stretching the first elastic element 33. This causes the portion of the flexible belt 31 located between the first edge 1111B and the telescopic component 32 to tilt towards the feeding mechanism 20, allowing it to move towards the feeding mechanism 20 when the product comes into contact with this portion. When one end of the telescopic component 32 retracts into the receiving cavity, the first elastic element shortens, causing the flexible belt 31 to retract.

[0045] For example, the flexible strip 31 can be made of polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane.

[0046] In this technical solution, by setting up a flexible belt 31 and a telescopic component 32, it is easy to form a guide surface to guide the product when the telescopic component 32 extends out of the first surface 1111A. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 6-9According to some embodiments of this application, the telescopic assembly 32 includes a fixed cylinder 321 and a telescopic rod 322. The fixed cylinder 321 is mounted on the first wall portion 1111, and the inner peripheral wall of the fixed cylinder 321 is provided with a first sliding groove 321A and a second sliding groove 321B that communicate with each other. Part of the telescopic rod 322 is located inside the fixed cylinder 321, and a guide block 3221 is provided on the periphery of the telescopic rod 322. The guide block 3221 is inserted into the first sliding groove 321A and the second sliding groove 321B. When the guide block 3221 is located in the first sliding groove 321A, the telescopic rod 322 can extend out of the fixed cylinder 321 and cause the guide mechanism 30 to move from the second position to the first position. The guide block 3221 moves along the second slide groove 321B to drive the telescopic rod 322 to retract into the fixed cylinder 321 and drive the guide mechanism 30 to move from the first position to the second position. The telescopic rod 322 rotates relative to the fixed cylinder 321 to drive the guide block 3221 to move alternately along the first slide groove 321A and the second slide groove 321B. The telescopic rod 322 is connected to the second drive motor 1141 for transmission. The second drive motor 1141 is also used to drive the telescopic rod 322 to rotate relative to the fixed cylinder 321.

[0048] Understandably, the second groove 321B can extend along a spiral.

[0049] In this technical solution, by configuring the second drive motor 1141 to drive the telescopic rod 322 to rotate relative to the fixed cylinder 321, the complexity of the e-commerce product inbound conveying device 100 is reduced without the need for an additional drive mechanism.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 6-9 According to some embodiments of this application, the telescopic assembly 32 includes a rotary cylinder 323 and a second elastic member 324. The rotary cylinder 323 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the fixed cylinder 321 located outside the first wall portion 1111. The rotary cylinder 323 has a spline hole 323A, and the telescopic rod 322 has a spline portion 3222, which is inserted into and adapted to the spline hole 323A. The second elastic member 324 is disposed in the spline hole 323A and is used to provide elastic force to the spline portion 3222 to drive a portion of the telescopic rod 322 to extend out of the first wall portion 1111 when the guide block 3221 is located in the first slide groove 321A. The second drive motor 1141 is used to drive the rotary cylinder 323 to rotate, thereby causing the telescopic rod 322 to rotate relative to the fixed cylinder 321.

[0051] For example, the extending direction of the first groove 321A may be parallel to the axis of the fixed cylinder 321. Understandably, the width of the first groove 321A should be greater than that of the guide block 3221 so that the telescopic rod 322 can rotate relative to the fixed cylinder 321 when the guide block 3221 enters the first groove 321A.

[0052] For example, the second elastic member 324 can be a compression spring. One end of the second elastic member 324 abuts against the bottom wall of the spline hole 323A, and the other end of the second elastic member 324 abuts against the spline portion 3222.

[0053] In this technical solution, by configuring a spline hole 323A in the rotary cylinder 323 and configuring the spline portion 3222 of the telescopic rod 322 to be adapted to the spline hole 323A, the telescopic rod 322 can extend and retract relative to the rotary cylinder 323 and the fixed cylinder 321 while rotating with the rotary cylinder 323. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the inner peripheral wall of the fixed cylinder 321 is provided with a third slide groove 321C that connects one end of the first slide groove 321A near the flexible belt 31 and the other end of the second slide groove 321B near the flexible belt 31, and a fourth slide groove 321D that connects one end of the first slide groove 321A away from the flexible belt 31 and the other end of the second slide groove 321B away from the flexible belt 31. The third slide groove 321C and the fourth slide groove 321D both extend circumferentially along the fixed cylinder 321. Specifically, taking the telescopic component 32 just entering the first position as an example, at this time the second elastic element 324 is in an extended state, and the guide block 3221 is located at the end of the first slide groove 321A near the flexible belt 31. Then the telescopic rod 322 continues to rotate so that the guide block 3221 enters the third slide groove 321C so that the telescopic component 32 is kept in the desired position. Then the guide block 3221 enters the second slide groove 321B and moves along the second slide groove 321B away from the flexible belt 31, thereby causing the telescopic component 32 to switch from the first position to the second position. Then the guide block 3221 enters the fourth slide groove 321D from the end of the second slide groove 321B away from the flexible belt 31 so that the telescopic component 32 is kept in the second position.

[0055] Understandably, the e-commerce product inbound conveyor 100 may be equipped with a second identification mechanism on the unloading mechanism 20. This second identification mechanism can be a barcode or QR code identification mechanism. This mechanism can scan the product's barcode or QR code to identify the product information and transmit this information to the controller of the e-commerce product inbound conveyor 100. After determining that the product has been sorted, the controller determines whether the guide block 3221 is located within the fourth chute 321D by counting the number of rotations of the second drive motor 1141. If it is located within the fourth chute 321D, power supply to the second drive motor 1141 is stopped. If it is not located within the fourth chute 321D, the second drive motor 1141 is driven to rotate rapidly to adjust the guide block 3221 into the fourth chute 321D before the next product enters the sorting section 11. For example, the second identification mechanism can be a laser barcode scanner, a high-speed CCD scanner, or a multi-faceted barcode scanning matrix. For example, the second drive motor 1141 is a servo motor.

[0056] According to some embodiments of this application, the second drive mechanism 114 further includes a drive gear 1143, a driven gear 1144, and a first reducer 1145. The drive gear 1143 is connected to the output end of the second drive motor 1141. The driven gear 1144 is connected to the rotary cylinder 323, and the first reducer 1145 is used to drive the drive gear 1143 and the driven gear 1144.

[0057] Understandably, a speed reducer is a mechanism installed between a motor and a working device, which uses gears with different numbers of teeth to reduce the high speed of the motor to the appropriate speed required by the device.

[0058] In this technical solution, the first reducer 1145 drives the driving gear 1143 and the driven gear 1144, thereby enabling the second drive mechanism 114 to extend and retract the telescopic rod 322 according to the sorting situation, thus sorting the products more accurately.

[0059] According to some embodiments of this application, the transport section 12 includes a second mounting frame 121 and a plurality of second rollers 122. The plurality of second rollers 122 are disposed on the second mounting frame 121 and arranged along the conveying direction, with the axis of the second rollers 122 parallel to the width direction of the transport section 12. The first drive mechanism also includes a plurality of third driven wheels, which are disposed one-to-one with one end of the second rollers 122, and the first conveyor chain is sleeved on the third driven wheels.

[0060] In this technical solution, by setting a first conveyor chain and multiple third driven wheels, the first drive motor can also drive multiple second roller shafts 122 to rotate, thus eliminating the need for an additional drive mechanism and simplifying the e-commerce product warehousing conveyor device 100.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this application, the first roller 112 includes a third sub-roller 1123, which is located on the side of the first sub-roller 1121 near the feeding mechanism 20 along the width direction. The sorting section 11 includes a third drive mechanism for driving the third sub-roller 1123 to rotate at a third angular velocity or a fourth angular velocity, wherein the third angular velocity is opposite to the direction of the first angular velocity, and the fourth angular velocity is greater than the first angular velocity.

[0062] For example, the third sub-roller 1123 can be arranged symmetrically with the second sub-roller.

[0063] In some embodiments, the third drive mechanism includes a third drive motor, a third drive wheel, a plurality of fourth driven wheels, and a third conveyor chain. The third drive wheel is disposed at the output end of the third drive motor. The plurality of fourth driven wheels are disposed one-to-one at the end of the third sub-roller 1123 away from the third sub-roller 1123. The third conveyor chain is sleeved around the third drive wheel and the fourth driven wheels.

[0064] Specifically, when the product does not need to be sorted in the sorting section 11, the third drive mechanism of the sorting section 11 drives the third sub-roller 1123 to rotate at a third angular velocity, so that the movement speed of the part of the product on the third sub-roller 1123 is greater than the movement speed of the part of the product on the first sub-roller 1121, thereby causing the product to deflect away from the unloading mechanism 20, and thus preventing the product from being received by the unloading mechanism 20. When the product needs to be sorted in the sorting section 11, the third drive mechanism of the sorting section 11 drives the third sub-roller 1123 to rotate at a fourth angular velocity, so that the movement direction of the part of the product on the fourth sub-roller is opposite to the movement direction of the part of the product on the first sub-roller 1121, thereby causing the product to deflect away from the unloading mechanism 20, and thus preventing the product from being received by the unloading mechanism 20. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0065] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application. For those skilled in the art, this application can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
