[0030] The specific embodiments of the present utility model are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, a flip-plate ring sorting machine includes a support frame 100, a plurality of sorting grid supports 102, a ring track 110, a chain 120, a detection frame 200, a first shaft disk mechanism, a second shaft disk mechanism, a plurality of sorting trolley mechanisms 500 and a plurality of electromagnetic flip-plate mechanisms.

[0033] A plurality of partitions 101 are installed on the outer side of the support frame 100 , and a plurality of sorting opening brackets 102 are all installed on the outer side of the support frame 100 , and the sorting opening bracket 102 is located between two adjacent partitions 101 .

[0034] The annular track 110 is installed on the top surface of the support frame 100 ; the chain 120 is located on the annular track 110 ; and a code scanning camera 201 is installed on the inner top surface of the detection frame 200 .

[0035] The first shaft-disk mechanism is installed in the support frame 100 ; the second shaft-disk mechanism is installed in the support frame 100 , and the second shaft-disk mechanism cooperates with the first shaft-disk mechanism to drive the chain 120 to rotate.

[0036] The plurality of sorting trolley mechanisms 500 are all connected to the chain 120 , and the plurality of sorting trolley mechanisms 500 include a tray 540 for placing packages; and the plurality of electromagnetic flipping mechanisms are used to flip the tray 540 toward the sorting grid support 102 .

[0037] Specifically, when the second shaft-disk mechanism cooperates with the first shaft-disk mechanism to drive the chain 120 to move, the chain 120 will drive multiple sorting trolley mechanisms 500 to move. When the sorting trolley mechanism 500 reaches the predetermined sorting grid bracket 102, the corresponding electromagnetic flip mechanism will push the tray 540 to rotate, and then the package on the tray 540 will slide toward the sorting grid bracket 102.

[0038] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the first shaft-disk mechanism includes a first mounting bracket 310 , a first sprocket, a first reducer 340 and a first motor 330 .

[0039] The first mounting frame 310 is installed in the support frame 100; the first sprocket is rotatably installed in the first mounting frame 310, and the first sprocket is meshed and connected with the chain 120; the first reducer 340 is installed on the bottom surface of the first mounting frame 310, and the output shaft of the first reducer 340 is fixedly connected to the first sprocket; the first motor 330 is installed on the bottom surface of the first mounting frame 310, and the power output shaft of the first motor 330 is connected to the first reducer 340.

[0040] The second shaft-disk mechanism includes a second mounting bracket 410 , a second sprocket 420 , a second speed reducer 440 and a second motor 430 .

[0041] The second mounting frame 410 is installed in the support frame 100; the second sprocket 420 is rotatably installed in the second mounting frame 410, and the second sprocket 420 is meshed and connected with the chain 120; the second reducer 440 is installed on the bottom surface of the second mounting frame 410, and the output shaft of the second reducer 440 is fixedly connected to the second sprocket 420; the second motor 430 is installed on the bottom surface of the second mounting frame 410, and the power output shaft of the second motor 430 is connected to the second reducer 440.

[0042] Specifically, when the first motor 330 is running, it will drive the first sprocket to rotate through the first reducer 340. When the second motor 430 is running, it will drive the second sprocket 420 to rotate through the second reducer 440. When the first sprocket and the second sprocket 420 rotate, they will drive the chain 120 to move in the annular track 110.

[0043] like Figure 5 - Figure 6As shown, the sorting trolley mechanism 500 also includes a base 510, a connecting piece 513, an installation box 520, an axle rod 521, a connecting frame 530, two moving wheels 511 and two guide wheels 512.

[0044] The two moving wheels 511 are both mounted on the side of the base 510, and the two moving wheels 511 are both in contact with the inner bottom surface of the circular track 110; the two guide wheels 512 are both mounted on the top surface of the base 510, and the two moving wheels 511 are both in contact with the inner side wall of the circular track 110. The connecting piece 513 is mounted on the base 510, and the connecting piece 513 is connected to the chain 120; the installation box 520 is mounted on the base 510; the shaft 521 passes through one side of the installation box 520 and is rotatably connected to the installation box 520; the connecting frame 530 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the shaft 521 located outside the installation box 520, and the tray 540 is connected to the connecting frame 530.

[0045] Specifically, when the chain 120 moves, the base 510 is driven to move through the connecting member 513 , and the moving wheel 511 and the guide wheel 512 facilitate the base 510 to move within the annular track 110 .

[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of electromagnetic turning mechanisms are respectively installed in a plurality of installation boxes 520 , and the electromagnetic turning mechanisms include a first electromagnetic push-pull rod 601 , a rack 602 and a gear 603 .

[0047] The first electromagnetic push-pull rod 601 is installed on the inner bottom surface of the installation box 520; the rack 602 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first electromagnetic push-pull rod 601; the gear 603 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the shaft 521 located in the installation box 520, and the gear 603 is meshedly connected with the rack 602.

[0048] Specifically, when the first electromagnetic push-pull rod 601 is in operation, it drives the rack 602 to move, and then engages and drives the gear 603 to rotate, and then drives the shaft 521 to rotate, and then drives the connecting frame 530 and the tray 540 to rotate.

[0049] Working principle: When in use, multiple storage boxes are placed in multiple sorting grid brackets 102 respectively. The staff places the package on the tray 540 to ensure that the face sheet on the package is facing up. Then, by starting the first motor 330 and the second motor 430, the first reducer 340 and the second reducer 440 respectively drive the first sprocket plate and the second sprocket plate 420, and then drive the chain 120 to move, and then drive the base 510 to move through the connecting piece 513, and then drive the connecting frame 530 and the tray 540 to move.

[0050] When the parcel on the tray 540 passes the barcode scanning camera 201, the barcode scanning camera 201 will scan the barcode on the waybill and transmit the acquired barcode data to the industrial control system. The sorting machine communication control system obtains the destination grid information of the parcel through information interaction, and binds the parcel information with the number of the sorting trolley mechanism 500 where the parcel is located, and sends it to the control system.

[0051] When the parcel on the tray 540 reaches the designated sorting grid bracket 102, the control system will control the upper end of the first electromagnetic push-pull rod 601 to drive the rack 602 to move upward, thereby engaging and driving the gear 603 to rotate, thereby driving the shaft 521 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting frame 530 to rotate, and thereby driving the tray 540 to rotate toward the sorting grid bracket 102. When the tray 540 rotates, the parcel on the tray 540 will slide off the tray 540, and the slipped parcel will fall into the corresponding storage box.

[0052] Compared with large-scale sorting systems, this type of flip-plate ring sorting machine has the advantages of small footprint and low construction cost; compared with manual sorting, this type of flip-plate ring sorting machine improves sorting efficiency and accuracy, and reduces labor costs and error rates.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] like Fig. 9 - Fig.10 As shown, while other parts are the same as those in Example 1, the difference between this embodiment and Example 1 is that multiple electromagnetic flip mechanisms are installed on the inner ring surface of the annular track 110, and the multiple electromagnetic flip mechanisms are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple sorting grid brackets 102.

[0055] The electromagnetic turnover mechanism includes a mounting seat 611 , a top plate 612 , a sliding block 614 , a second electromagnetic push-pull rod 615 and a hinge seat 616 .

[0056] A plurality of bolts are installed on the mounting seat 611, and the rods of the plurality of bolts are connected to the inner annular surface of the annular track 110. The top plate 612 is hinged to the mounting seat 611. Under normal conditions, the top surface of the top plate 612 does not contact the connecting frame 530. A slide groove 613 is provided on the bottom surface of the top plate 612. The slider 614 is slidably connected to the slide groove 613. The second electromagnetic push-pull rod 615 is installed in the mounting seat 611. The hinge seat 616 is hinged to the upper end of the second electromagnetic push-pull rod 615, and the hinge seat 616 is hinged to the slider 614.

[0057] Specifically, when the upper end of the second electromagnetic push-pull rod 615 moves upward, it will push the top plate 612 to rotate through the hinge seat 616 and the slider 614, and then push the connecting frame 530 and the shaft rod 521 to rotate.

[0058] Working principle: During specific use, when the parcel on the tray 540 reaches the designated sorting grid bracket 102, the control system will control the upper end of the second electromagnetic push-pull rod 615 to push the hinge seat 616 to move upward, thereby pushing the slider 614 to move along the slide groove 613, thereby rotating the top plate 612, and the rotating top plate 612 will push the connecting frame 530 and the shaft rod 521 to rotate, thereby driving the tray 540 to rotate toward the sorting grid bracket 102. When the tray 540 rotates, the parcel on the tray 540 will slide off the tray 540, and the sliding parcel will fall into the corresponding storage box.
