[0002] At present, in the field of logistics sorting equipment technology, intelligent control technology and automation technology are developing rapidly. The traditional manual sorting mode can no longer meet the growing demand for logistics sorting business. More and more logistics companies are using automated equipment to replace traditional manual sorting, and the sorting efficiency and accuracy are gradually improving. As an automated logistics sorting equipment, narrow-band linear sorting machines are widely used in distribution centers, warehouses, outlets and other express delivery places to sort and transport packages.

[0003] Among them, the mainstream narrow-band sorting machines on the market use wired (such as RS485 communication protocol) to control the corresponding narrow-band trolleys, which has the problems of high hardware cost and complex installation lines. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing production technology, the applicant provides an infrared communication device for a narrow-band sorting machine trolley, thereby providing a signal to the trolley driver to drive the trolley to sort packages, reducing the difficulty of installation and the failure rate, and making the sorting more accurate.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model is as follows: an infrared communication device for a narrow-band sorting machine trolley, comprising a gantry, the gantry is adjacent to the straight track of the narrow-band sorting machine, an infrared emitting welding strip is arranged on the gantry; a mounting assembly is connected to the square tube of the infrared emitting welding strip, a first bracket is arranged on the top of the mounting assembly along the vertical direction, and a second bracket is arranged on the top of the first bracket horizontally; an infrared transceiver controller is installed on the end face of the first bracket, and photoelectric devices are arranged on the side wall of the first bracket; a trolley driver is arranged on the narrow-band trolley head car, and a reflector is arranged on the bracket on one side of the trolley driver; the reflector corresponds to the irradiation direction of the photoelectric device.

[0006] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0007] Preferably, the structure of the mounting assembly includes: a first infrared mounting plate mounted on an infrared emitting welding strip, a second infrared mounting plate mounted horizontally on the top of the first infrared mounting plate, and an infrared heightening bracket mounted vertically on the top of the second infrared mounting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the infrared heightening bracket is connected to the first bracket.

[0009] Preferably, an assembly slot is provided on the second bracket, and a single-channel Hall encoder is installed inside the assembly slot for pulse counting to calculate the number of the current trolley above.

[0010] Preferably, the reflector is installed via a reflector bracket.

[0011] Preferably, the reflector bracket is fixed on a bracket of a trolley driver on one side of the narrow-band trolley head vehicle.

[0012] Preferably, the first bracket is provided with a waist-shaped hole for adjusting the height up and down.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0014] The utility model has a reasonable structure. When the trolley rotates vertically and cyclically along the track, the trolley moves forward along the track in sequence. When the photoelectric device of the infrared communication device illuminates the reflective plate of the narrow-band trolley head car, the infrared transceiver controller of the infrared communication device obtains that the narrow-band trolley head car is directly above; and multiple infrared communication devices are arranged along the running direction of the trolley. Each time the reflective plate on the narrow-band trolley head car encounters an infrared communication device, the position of the head car will be obtained, thereby eliminating the cumulative error, realizing independent reset, and making the communication more accurate;

[0015] The utility model also has the following advantages:

[0016] (1) The utility model adopts infrared communication, so that the narrowband car only has a power cord, and no wireless client, network cable, etc. are required, which greatly reduces the difficulty of installation and the failure rate.

[0017] (2) The utility model adopts the assembly method of waist-round holes with bolts, which is easy to adjust, saves time and effort, is convenient for maintenance and operation, and has good practicality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
