Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of sorting equipment and relates to a sorting machine, in particular to a universal ball module belt sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] Sorting is the operation of stacking items according to their types and the order of entry and exit. Sorting is the preparatory work to improve and support delivery. It is an inevitable extension of the competition and improvement of economic benefits of different distribution companies during delivery. Sorting equipment is usually used to improve the efficiency of sorting.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN210735229U discloses a sorting swing arm machine, which includes a frame, a conveyor belt mounted on the frame, a sorting box and a swing arm mechanism arranged on the frame and located on both sides of the conveyor belt. The swing arm mechanism includes a mounting base mounted on the side of the frame, a rotating drive member fixed on the mounting base, a swing shaft coaxially fixedly connected with the rotating shaft of the rotating drive member, a bearing assembly for mounting the swing shaft, and a swing arm fixed on the swing shaft and sweeping the upper end face of the conveyor belt during the swinging process. Each sorting box corresponds to a swing arm mechanism. The application uses the swing arm of the automatic swing arm machine to quickly sweep the corresponding goods from the conveyor belt to the corresponding sorting box, and the action is fast and accurate. The positions of the sorting boxes and the swing arm mechanism on both sides of the frame are opposite, which can effectively utilize the space on the upper end face of the conveyor belt, install the most swing arms in the shortest distance, and greatly improve the sorting efficiency. It can be seen that the prior art usually arranges a swing arm mechanism between the conveyor belt and the sorting box to achieve material sorting, which is not only complex in structure, but also causes the entire sorting device to be unusable when a swing arm mechanism is damaged.

[0016] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The universal ball module belt sorting machine shown mainly includes structures such as a scanning and feeding component 1 and a material dividing component 2 that cooperate with each other.

[0018] Among them, the scanning and feeding component 1 is mainly used for scanning the code of materials (such as express delivery, etc.) and conveying the materials to the material dividing component 2. The operator can stand on one side of the scanning and feeding component 1, and after taking the materials, use the scanning and feeding component 1 to scan the materials and place them on the scanning and feeding component 1 to convey them to the downstream material dividing component 2; or the materials can be placed on the scanning and feeding component 1 first, so that the materials are scanned during the movement. In this embodiment, the scanning and feeding component 1 includes a first support frame 11, a first circulating conveyor belt 12 rotatably mounted on the first support frame 11, and a scanning mechanism 13 mounted on the first support frame 11, and the scanning mechanism 13 is used to scan and identify the materials conveyed on the first circulating conveyor belt 12. The first circulating conveyor belt 12 can be rotatable in an existing conventional manner, such as installing at least two rotating rollers on the first supporting frame 11 (usually the rotating rollers are installed on the first supporting frame 11 by bearings), installing the first circulating conveyor belt 12 on these rotating rollers, and connecting one rotating roller to the motor through a belt, so that when the motor is working, the belt can be used to drive the rotating roller to work, thereby driving the first circulating conveyor belt 12 to rotate in a circular manner.

[0019] In this embodiment, the scanning mechanism 13 includes a mounting base 131 fixed on the first supporting frame body 11, a supporting frame 132 with its bottom mounted on the mounting base 131 and arranged vertically, a display screen 133 mounted on the upper part of the supporting frame 132, a keyboard tray 134 mounted on the supporting frame 132 and arranged horizontally (the keyboard tray 134 is usually located in the middle of the supporting frame 132 and slightly lower than the display screen 133), an integrated touch screen 138 mounted on the side of the supporting frame 132, a horizontal hanging plate 135 mounted on the supporting frame 132 and perpendicular thereto (the horizontal hanging plate 135 is located below the keyboard tray 134), and a display screen 133 mounted on the horizontal hanging plate 135. A scanning bracket 136 on the plate 135 with an adjustable angle (the angle can be adjusted in a conventional manner, such as opening a long slot on the scanning bracket 136, and manually adjusting the angle by adjusting the tightness of the fasteners such as bolts), an industrial computer connected to the display screen 133 and the integrated touch screen 138, and a barcode scanner 137 installed on the scanning bracket 136 and connected to the industrial computer, the barcode scanner 137 is used to recognize conventional identification codes such as QR codes and transmit corresponding information to the industrial computer, so that it can be displayed on the display screen 133 (these are all existing conventional technologies, not the core invention of this application).

[0020] The material sorting component 2 is used to receive and sort the materials conveyed by the scanning and feeding component 1. The material sorting component 2 includes a second support frame 21, a ball conveying mechanism 22, a plurality of material guide units 23 and a multi-group material mechanism 24. The second support frame 21 is arranged on one side of the first support frame 11; the ball conveying mechanism 22 is installed on the second support frame 21 and cooperates with the first circulating conveyor belt 12, and is used to receive and continue to convey the materials conveyed by the first circulating conveyor belt 12; multiple groups of material guide units 23 are installed on both sides of the ball conveying mechanism 22 and are neatly arranged in two rows; the multi-group material mechanism 24 is installed in the ball conveying mechanism 22, and is used to cooperate with it to transfer the materials conveyed thereon (by changing the conveying direction) to a material guide unit 23.

[0021] In this embodiment, the ball conveying mechanism 22 includes a bearing base 221 mounted on the second support frame 21 and a universal ball circulating conveyor belt 222 rotatably mounted on the bearing base 221 through a transmission mechanism 223. The transmission mechanism 223 includes at least two groups of rollers 2231 rotatably mounted on the bearing base 221 through bearings and arranged at intervals, a conveyor pulley 2232 mounted on the rollers 2231 and rotating synchronously therewith, and a motor 2233 mounted on the bearing base 221 and connected to any roller 2231 through a belt 2234 (the roller 2231 connected to the motor 2233 is the active roller, and the other rollers are driven rollers). The universal ball circulating conveyor belt 222 is mounted on the conveyor pulley 2232. When the motor 2233 is working, it drives the roller 2231 to rotate, thereby synchronously driving the circulation of the universal ball circulating conveyor belt 222 so that the material is transported downstream. The universal ball circulating conveyor belt 222 can be a conventional commercially available one, which contains a plurality of universal balls protruding from the surface of the belt body, and is also commonly called a universal ball module mesh belt, a universal ball mesh belt, a ball universal chain mesh, etc.

[0022] In this embodiment, each group of material dispensing mechanism 24 includes a material dispensing base 241 mounted on the bearing base 221, at least two electric rollers 242 (one is an active electric roller and the other is a driven electric roller) mounted on the material dispensing base 241, a material dispensing circulating belt 243 mounted on the electric roller 242 to be driven by it (the material dispensing circulating belt 243 at this time is perpendicular to the aforementioned ball circulating conveyor belt 222 or the first circulating conveyor belt 12), and a belt support plate mounted on the material dispensing base 241 and matched with the material dispensing circulating belt 243 to ensure that the material dispensing circulating belt 243 is in full contact with the aforementioned universal ball, so that when the material dispensing circulating belt 243 works under the drive of the electric roller 242, it can synchronously drive the rotation of the universal ball, thereby changing the direction of the material on it and moving toward the material guide unit 23. The number of material dispensing mechanisms 24 is usually half of the number of material guide units 23, because the electric roller 242 can rotate in both directions, thereby driving the universal ball to rotate in both directions accordingly. In this embodiment, in order to achieve precise control of the material sorting mechanism 24, the motor 2233 and the electric roller 242 can be connected to the aforementioned industrial computer, and the information obtained by scanning the code and combining it with the speed of each conveyor belt can be used to accurately control the working timing of the electric roller 242 to achieve material sorting.

[0023] In this embodiment, each material guiding unit 23 includes a material guiding trough 231 installed on the side of the supporting base 221 and tilted downward, a connecting buckle 232 installed on the material guiding trough 231 for connecting with the adjacent material guiding trough 231, and a sensor 233 installed in the connecting buckle 232. The sensor 233 can determine whether there is material passing through the material guiding trough 231.

[0024] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
