Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics sorting equipment, in particular to a ring-shaped sorting system for logistics sorting. Background Art

[0002] Due to the convenience and high cost-effectiveness of online shopping, as well as the improvement of the express service industry, more and more people are willing to buy what they need through the Internet. This blowout demand has greatly driven the rapid growth of mail and express parcel volume. The parcel delivery efficiency under the traditional sorting mode is far from meeting the current daily average of tens of millions of parcels. Therefore, automatic sorting systems are increasingly used in the distribution centers of postal and express companies. The efficient sorting efficiency not only greatly shortens the time it takes for parcels to be delivered to people, but also creates considerable profits for postal and express companies.

[0003] The ring sorting machine is a kind of automatic sorting machine, which is widely used in logistics sorting. The ring sorting machine in the prior art uses a top scanning camera to load goods. However, during the ring transportation process, the barcodes of some goods are located on the side of the goods, which requires manual handheld barcode scanning.
