[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0016] Example 1
[0017] like Figure 1As shown, an air cargo sorting and tracking system comprises an input conveyor belt 1, a baggage conveying carousel 2, a barcode scanner 3, a diverter 4, a labeling machine 5, a sorting slot 6, a plurality of sorting machines 7 and a bag abandonment chute 8. The baggage conveying carousel 2 is a ring-shaped turntable structure. The sorting machine 7 is continuously arranged on one side of the baggage conveying carousel 2. The sorting machine 7 is connected to the sorting slot 6. The output end of the input conveyor belt 1 is connected to the baggage conveying carousel 2. The input end of the input conveyor belt 1 is arranged in the feeding direction of the sorting machine 7. The barcode scanner 3 is arranged on the baggage conveying carousel at the connection position of the input conveyor belt 1. The working area of the barcode scanner 3 covers the baggage conveying carousel 2. The input end of the bag abandonment chute 8 is connected to the baggage conveying carousel 2. The bag abandonment chute 8 is arranged in the unloading direction of the sorting machine 7. The diverter 4 is arranged on the baggage conveying carousel 2 in the unloading direction of the connection position of the bag abandonment chute 8 and the baggage conveying carousel 2. The diverter 4 is a package posture adjustment mechanism. The labeling machine 5 is arranged on the baggage conveying carousel 2 in the unloading direction of the diverter 4.
[0018] The label machine 5 is a laser printer, and the code scanner 3 is a barcode scanner U-shaped surface scanner.
[0019] The reversing device 4 includes a gantry 31, a pair of transverse steering belts 32, a pair of vertical steering belts 33 and four servo motors 34. The servo motors 34 are arranged on the columns and beams of the gantry 31 and are symmetrically arranged.
