Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of express delivery, and in particular to an automatic sorting device for express delivery. Background Art

[0002] The working steps of express delivery in the transfer station are: placing the express delivery on the conveyor belt, then scanning the express delivery on the conveyor belt, and then sorting the express delivery according to the delivery address, thus completing the sorting work in the transfer station;

[0003] When the staff place the express packages on the conveyor belt, due to the large number of express packages and the fact that bagged express packages are smaller and lighter than boxed express packages, they will take multiple bagged express packages at a time, causing multiple bagged express packages to pile up together. When the bagged express packages are scanned, the courier number is blocked by other express packages, making it impossible to scan, which requires the staff to make adjustments, which greatly increases the sorting time. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problem that a plurality of bagged express packages are piled up together, so that when the bagged express packages are scanned, the express order numbers are blocked by other express packages, resulting in the inability to scan, the present invention provides an automatic sorting device for express delivery.

[0005] The technical implementation scheme of the present invention is: an automatic sorting device for express delivery, including a conveyor belt; also including an electric lifting frame, an electric push rod, a push plate, a fixed block and a camera; an electric lifting frame is installed in the middle of the conveyor belt; an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the electric lifting frame; a push plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic part of the electric push rod; a fixed block is fixedly connected to the middle of the push plate; and a camera is fixedly connected to the front of the fixed block.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a fixed plate, an electric push rod 2 and a limit plate; a fixed plate is fixedly connected to both sides of the push plate 1; each fixed plate is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 2; each telescopic part of the electric push rod 2 is fixedly connected to a limit plate, and the limit plate is in an eight-shaped shape.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting plate is a silicone plate.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a mounting frame and a barcode scanner; the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the left part of the conveyor belt; and the barcode scanner is fixedly connected to the middle part of the mounting frame.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a code scanning component, and the mounting frame is connected to the code scanning component for scanning the express with the order number facing the ground; the code scanning component includes a multi-stage push rod, a push plate, a transparent plate and a code scanner; the front part of the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the multi-stage push rod; the telescopic part of the multi-stage push rod is fixedly connected to the push plate; the rear part of the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the transparent plate; and the rear part of the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the code scanner.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a multi-stage push rod 2 and a connecting plate; the multi-stage push rod 2 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the rear portion of the mounting frame; and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic portion of the multi-stage push rod 2.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a cleaning sponge; the cleaning sponge is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0013] The electric push rod pushes the push plate to move to the right, so that the push plate pushes the accumulated express packages down, thereby solving the problem that the express delivery order numbers are blocked and cannot be scanned due to the accumulation of express packages; the electric lifting frame drives the push plate to move up and down, so that the push plate can adjust its height according to the size of the express packages, so that the push plate is always slightly higher than the express packages, thereby adapting to express packages of different sizes, and thus better pushing the accumulated express packages down, and avoiding the situation where larger express packages cannot avoid being stuck and cannot be sorted, thereby solving the problem that the code scanning cannot be performed due to the accumulation of express packages, and avoiding the problem of prolonged sorting time and increased workload of staff.

[0014] After the upper express is pushed down, the falling express will be blocked by the limit plate to prevent it from falling to the sides of the lower express, causing the upper express to fall to the back of the lower express. Since the limit plate is in an eight-shaped shape, the upper express will first contact the limit plate after being pushed down, and then the limit plate will intercept the falling express. The falling express will be blocked by the limit plate, causing its movement speed to slow down, causing the lower express to be scanned first, and then the upper express will pass through the limit plate for scanning, thereby increasing the distance between the two express, thereby avoiding multiple express being located in one area, which leads to errors in sorting.

[0015] The second electric push rod will push the two limit plates towards each other to clamp the express, thereby intercepting and sorting the accumulated express, avoiding the situation where two express are in the same area when the smaller limit plate on the upper express cannot intercept, thereby ensuring the normal sorting work.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] An automatic sorting device for express delivery, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a conveyor belt 1 is included;

[0024] It also includes an electric lifting frame 2, an electric push rod 3, a push plate 4, a fixed block 5 and a camera 6; the electric lifting frame 2 is installed in the middle of the conveyor belt 1; the electric push rod 3 is bolted to the middle of the electric lifting frame 2; the push plate 4 is fixedly connected to the telescopic part of the electric push rod 3; the fixing block 5 is bolted to the upper side of the middle of the push plate 4; the camera 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the fixing block 5.

[0025] It also includes a fixed plate 101, an electric push rod 102 and a limit plate 103; a fixed plate 101 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the push plate 101; each fixed plate 101 is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 102; each telescopic part of the electric push rod 102 is fixedly connected to a limit plate 103, and the limit plate 103 is in an eight-shaped shape.

[0026] The limiting plate 103 is a silicone plate because the limiting plate 103 will collide with the express when pushing the express, so as to avoid damage to the express due to the collision caused by the hard material.

[0027] It also includes a mounting frame 111 and a barcode scanner 112; the mounting frame 111 is fixedly connected to the left part of the conveyor belt 1; and the barcode scanner 112 is bolted to the lower side of the middle part of the mounting frame 111.

[0028] It also includes a code scanning component, and the mounting frame 111 is connected to the code scanning component; the code scanning component includes a multi-stage push rod 121, a push plate 122, a transparent plate 123 and a code scanner 124; the lower front side of the mounting frame 111 is fixedly connected to the multi-stage push rod 121; the push plate 122 is fixedly connected to the telescopic part of the multi-stage push rod 121; the transparent plate 123 is bolted to the rear of the mounting frame 111; the code scanner 124 is fixedly connected to the rear of the mounting frame 111.

[0029] It also includes a multi-stage push rod 201 and a connecting plate 202; the multi-stage push rod 201 is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the mounting frame 111; and the connecting plate 202 is fixedly connected to the telescopic part of the multi-stage push rod 201.

[0030] A cleaning sponge 203 is also included; the cleaning sponge 203 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting plate 202.

[0031] The working steps of the above embodiment are:

[0032] The express is placed on the started conveyor belt 1, and the conveyor belt 1 will drive the express to move from right to left. When the express moves, the camera 6 will shoot and analyze the express. When the express is analyzed to be piled up, the electric push rod 3 pushes the push plate 4 to move to the right, so that the push plate 4 pushes the piled express down, thereby avoiding the order number from being blocked, and the electric lifting frame 2 will drive the push plate 4 to move up and down through the electric push rod 3, so that the push plate 4 is adjusted according to the size of the express, so that the push plate 4 is always slightly higher than the express, thereby adapting to express of different sizes, thereby better pushing down the piled express, and avoiding the situation that the express with larger volume cannot be avoided, resulting in the express being stuck and unable to be sorted, thereby solving the problem of being unable to scan the code due to the accumulation of express, avoiding the problem of prolonged sorting time and increasing the workload of the staff;

[0033] When the express packages piled on the upper layer are pushed down, the fallen express packages may be located on both sides of the express packages on the lower layer, that is, the two express packages will be transported side by side and enter the code scanning area for scanning at the same time. This will increase the burden of scanning and make it impossible to scan the code normally, which in turn makes it impossible to scan the code quickly, thereby increasing the sorting time. In addition, because the existing sorting operation generally relies on a push rod perpendicular to the main conveyor belt to push express packages of different delivery addresses to different branch conveyor belts, when two express packages are transported side by side, the sorting equipment will push the side-by-side express packages to the same branch conveyor belt. When the two side-by-side express packages have different delivery addresses, sorting errors will occur. Therefore, after the upper express package is pushed down, the limit plate 103 will be used to stop the falling express package. Block to prevent the upper express from falling to the sides of the lower express, so that the upper express falls to the lower express and is scanned, and the lower express passes through the middle of the two limit plates 103 and then is scanned. Since the limit plates 103 are in an eight-shaped shape, the upper express will first contact the limit plates 103 after being pushed down, so that the limit plates 103 intercept the falling express, so that the falling express will be blocked by the limit plates 103, resulting in a slower moving speed, so that the lower express will be scanned first, and then the upper express will pass through the limit plates 103 for scanning, thereby increasing the distance between the two express, thereby avoiding multiple express being located in one area, resulting in errors in sorting;

[0034] Since the sizes of the parcels are different, when the parcel on the upper layer is smaller, it will not be blocked by the limit plate 103 after it falls. At this time, two parcels will be transported side by side. Therefore, when the separation work is performed, the camera 6 will shoot and analyze the pushed-down parcel, calculate the size of the upper parcel, and analyze whether it will directly pass through the limit plate 103. If it will pass through, after the lower parcel passes through the limit plate 103, the electric push rod 102 will push the two limit plates 103 to move towards each other, so as to change the opening between the two limit plates 103. The opening size is adjusted to intercept the smaller upper express, so that it is not in the same area as the lower express. After the lower express is scanned, the electric push rod 102 pushes the two limit plates 103 to move in opposite directions, so that the opening between the two limit plates 103 becomes larger, so that the upper express passes through the two limit plates 103 for scanning. By intercepting and sorting the accumulated express, it is avoided that when the upper express is smaller than the limit plate 103 and cannot intercept, the two express are transported side by side, thereby ensuring the normal sorting work.

[0035] After the accumulated express delivery is sorted, it will be conveyed to the left by the conveyor belt 1. When the express delivery moves under the barcode scanner 112, the barcode scanner 112 will scan the express delivery, and then the conveyor belt 1 will convey the scanned express delivery to the sorting device of the left peripheral for sorting;

[0036] Because the express is placed randomly by the staff, some express numbers will be located at the bottom, and the barcode scanner 112 will not be able to scan. Therefore, when the barcode scanner 112 cannot scan, the multi-stage push rod 121 will push the push plate 2 122 to move backward, and then the push plate 2 122 pushes the express to move backward. At this time, the bottom of the express will contact the transparent plate 123, so that the express moves along the transparent plate 123, and then the express is tilted. At this time, the bottom of the express will be located at the bottom of the transparent plate 123, and then the barcode scanner 2 124 will scan the express number through the transparent plate 123, and then the multi-stage push rod 121 will push the push plate 2 122 to move forward and return to its original position. At this time, the scanned express will slide off the transparent plate 123, and continue to be driven by the conveyor belt 1 to move to the left for sorting, thereby solving the problem that the bottom of the express cannot be scanned, and thus avoiding problems in the express sorting work, resulting in longer sorting time, and thus increasing the workload of the staff;

[0037] When the express is transported, dust will be attached to the express. After the express contacts the transparent plate 123, the dust will be attached to the transparent plate 123, which will cause the transparent plate 123 to be attached with dust, which will cause the transparency of the transparent plate 123 to deteriorate, and the scanner 124 will be unable to perform scanning. When some express are heavy, they cannot automatically slide off the transparent plate 123. At this time, the express will stay on the transparent plate 123. Therefore, after the express is scanned by the scanner 124, the multi-stage push rod 201 will push the connecting plate 202 and the cleaning sponge 203 to move in the direction of the express. The connecting plate 202 will push the express to the conveyor belt 1, so that the express continues to be transported by the conveyor belt 1, avoiding the express to stay on the transparent plate 123 and unable to perform subsequent work. The cleaning sponge 203 will clean the dust attached to the transparent plate 123, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the transparent plate 123, thereby avoiding the attachment of dust and causing the inability to scan.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
