Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shelves, and more specifically, to an automatic distribution shelf. Background Art

[0002] Manufacturers need all kinds of accessories when producing products, and accessories are diverse. Some are instruction manuals, some are screws, some are balls of thread, etc. After production is completed, they will be classified and stored, waiting for customers to place orders, and then they will be matched, packaged and shipped. With the development of e-commerce in recent years, many goods are sent to end customers in one or several pieces according to customer requirements, making it extremely troublesome to find, match and ship goods. The error rate remains high, and the phenomenon of sending the wrong color number, model, or less delivery often occurs. The cost of customer service to confirm and solve the problem in the later stage remains high. The reason is that the efficiency of manual labor to pick up goods from the shelves is too low and mistakes are made in a hurry.

[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the automatic distribution shelf in this embodiment. The shelf in this embodiment only requires the manufacturer to select suitable shelves according to their own products for free combination to quickly complete the distribution and packaging. The automatic distribution shelf includes a supporting frame 1, and the supporting frame 1 is composed of a shelf outer frame 2 and a partition front block 3. The shape of the shelf outer frame 2 is an inverted U shape, and the front of the shelf outer frame 2 is fixedly connected to the partition front block 3, and the inner wall of the shelf outer frame 2 is fixedly connected to the partition bracket 4. A plurality of partition bodies 5 are arranged inside the shelf outer frame 2, and the partition bodies 5 are located above the partition bracket 4. The bottoms of the plurality of partition bodies 5 are all provided with back gear strips 6, and the back of the shelf outer frame 2 is rotatably connected to a matching gear 8 through a rotating shaft. A partition outlet 7 is arranged through the back of the shelf outer frame 2, and a rotating motor 9 is fixedly installed on the back of the shelf outer frame 2. A cargo display port is provided on the front of the partition front block 3. 10. A cargo drop opening 11 is provided at the bottom of the shelf outer frame 2; when the goods are classified and stored, the goods 18 are first placed on the partition body 5 from the cargo drop opening 10 in a stacking manner of one partition and one item, and then the shelf number and the product model are transmitted to the data center. When the data center receives the list, the corresponding rotating motor 9 is started according to the list, and after transmission, the bottom partition body 5 of each shelf is extracted through the matching gear 8, and the partition body 5 is extracted from the partition outlet 7 and falls, and the goods 18 falls from the cargo drop opening 11 onto the conveyor belt, which is equivalent to completing the grabbing of the goods. At this time, the upper layer of goods 18 and the partition body 5 will be uniformly moved down to the partition bracket 4 under the action of gravity to carry out the goods circulation, thereby completing the distribution and picking process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the manufacturer's distribution, shortening the time for manual search and picking of goods on the shelf, and improving the distribution efficiency.

[0028] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the cargo placement opening 10 is located in front of the partition body 5, and multiple cargoes 18 are placed in sequence between the multiple partition bodies 5. The multiple partition bodies 5 and the cargoes 18 are stacked and placed in a stacking manner of one partition for one cargo. During the process of placing the goods and partitions, the normal operation of the entire distribution line will not be affected. There is no need to pause, and the goods and partitions can be placed in sequence from the cargo placement opening.

[0029] In addition, if Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the output end of the rotating motor 9 is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the rotating motor 9 is fixed to one side of the matching gear 8. The back gear bar 6 is meshed and connected with the matching gear 8. In order to extract the bottom partition body 5 of each shelf, the rotating motor 9 provides driving force for the rotation of the matching gear 8. Through the transmission action of the back gear bar 6 and the matching gear 8, the rotating matching gear 8 drives the meshed bottom partition body 5 to move horizontally, so that the bottom partition body 5 is withdrawn from the partition outlet 7. The back gear bar 6 can be set to a convex or concave shape according to different goods. Under the action of gravity, the gear bar can better press the goods, thereby increasing the friction. The front side of the partition body 5 is a smooth plane, so that the goods can fall out of the drop port more accurately.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected with a front cargo block 12 and a rear cargo block 13, and the front cargo block 12 and the rear cargo block 13 are symmetrically arranged, and the surfaces of the front cargo block 12 and the rear cargo block 13 close to each other are rotatably connected with a plurality of belt rollers 14 through a rotating shaft, and the surfaces of the plurality of belt rollers 14 are sleeved with a belt body 15, and the belt body 15 is located below the cargo drop port 11.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a front support leg slot 16 and a rear support leg slot 17 are provided on the top of the shelf outer frame 2, and the front support leg slot 16 and the rear support leg slot 17 are symmetrically arranged, the front cargo block 12 can be inserted into the corresponding front support leg slot 16, and the rear cargo block 13 can be inserted into the corresponding rear support leg slot 17. Multiple groups of shelves can be provided. The shelves can be uniformly customized according to the size of the goods 18, and can be freely combined up and down and left and right. The provided conveyor belt can realize the free transportation of goods. When multiple single-group shelves are combined, the front cargo block 12 and the rear cargo block 13 are respectively inserted into the front support leg slot 16 and the rear support leg slot 17 to complete the matching, and then they can be assembled.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom edge of the partition outlet 7 and the top end of the partition bracket 4 are in the same plane, the matching gear 8 passes through the shelf frame 2, the partition outlet 7 is located at the top position of the matching gear 8, the length and height of the partition outlet 7 are slightly larger than the length and height of the partition body 5, and the inner diameter length and width of the shelf frame 2 are slightly larger than the length and width of the partition body 5.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
