[0002] The sorting and conveying device with a flip structure for express parcels is an important device used in the field of logistics to improve sorting efficiency. This type of device usually combines automation and intelligent design in order to reduce manual participation in the logistics sorting process, reduce operational difficulty, and improve operating speed and accuracy.

[0003] For example, a conveying device for express sorting with publication number CN214933055U belongs to the technical field of conveying equipment, and includes a flipping mechanism, a material receiving mechanism and a code scanning identifier.

A first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt are arranged on the side of the material receiving mechanism. A plurality of code scanning identifiers are provided, and the plurality of code scanning identifiers are installed on the material receiving mechanism and the second conveyor belt. The barcode on the express can be scanned and identified by the code scanning identifier, and then the material receiving mechanism is driven to flip to one side by the flipping mechanism to transport the scanned express to the first conveyor belt. When the barcode is on the other side of the express, the code scanning identifier will transmit instructions to the flipping mechanism if it does not recognize the barcode. The flipping mechanism drives the material receiving mechanism to flip to the other side again, and flips the express to the second conveyor belt for scanning, thereby completing the automatic sorting and scanning processing of the express.

[0004] A conveying device for express sorting in the above technical solution drives the express to flip and scan the codes on both sides through a flipping mechanism. In actual use, when the express cannot be recognized in two dimensions, it is generally solved by a multi-angle camera. During the sorting process of the express, a single transport terminal can often only classify the express once, resulting in low efficiency in express classification. Utility Model Content

[0038] Embodiment 2:

[0039] Based on the first embodiment, the specific working principle is as follows:

[0040] The sorting and conveying device provided with a parcel flipping structure, when the parcel moves to the top of the flipping plate 19, the hydraulic rod 23 is driven to extend, so that the hydraulic rod 23 drives the connecting frame 20 to move upward, and at the same time, both ends of the hydraulic rod 23 rotate between the connecting frame 20 and the support plate 22, and the connecting frame 20 moves upward to drive the connecting frame 20 and the flipping plate 19 to rotate around the second center block 16 or the first center block 14, so that the flipping plate 19 flips around the second center block 16 or the first center block 14, and at the same time, the parcel located on the top of the flipping plate 19 will flip along with the movement of the flipping plate 19;

[0041] When the whole formed by the connecting frame 20 and the flip plate 19 rotates around the first center block 14, the electromagnet 18 that is mutually attached to the second metal seat 17 will be energized, and the electromagnet 18 that is mutually attached to the first metal seat 13 will be de-energized, so that the second metal seat 17 and the electromagnet 18 are fixedly connected, and the flip plate 19 and the rotating rod 15 are formed into a whole through the connection between the second center block 16, the second metal seat 17 and the flip plate 19. Therefore, in the process of the connecting frame 20 moving upward, the connecting frame 20 will drive the flip plate 19 and the rotating rod 15 to rotate around the first center block 14 through the whole formed by the connection between the second center block 16 and the second metal seat 17;

[0042] When the whole formed by the connecting frame 20 and the flip plate 19 rotates around the second center block 16, the electromagnet 18 that is in contact with the first metal seat 13 will be energized, and the electromagnet 18 that is in contact with the second metal seat 17 will be de-energized, so that the first metal seat 13 and the rotating rod 15 are fixedly connected. Since the second metal seat 17 and the rotating rod 15 are separated from each other, the flip plate 19 and the second center block 16 will form a whole, and the first metal seat 13, the first center block 14 and the rotating rod 15 will form a whole. Therefore, in the process of the connecting frame 20 moving upward, the connecting frame 20 will drive the whole formed by the flip plate 19 and the second center block 16 to rotate around the second center block 16, and the whole formed by the flip plate 19 and the connecting frame 20 will rotate around the first center block 14 and the second center block 16 respectively. The whole formed by the flip plate 19 and the connecting frame 20 can be flipped in two directions, thereby driving the express on the top of the whole formed by the flip plate 19 and the connecting frame 20 to flip along with it;

[0043] When the express package moves on the top of the conveyor belt 5, the express package will pass between the two baffles 10. Since the two baffles 10 have a certain elasticity, the two baffles 10 apply a thrust to the middle of the conveyor belt 5 on both sides of the express package when passing between the two baffles 10, thereby moving the express package to the middle position of the conveyor belt 5.

[0044] When the express passes through the inner side of the support frame 7, the QR code on the outer side of the express is recognized by a plurality of cameras 8 distributed on the inner side of the support frame 7. The cameras 8 control the flip plate 19 to flip around the first center block 14 or the second center block 16 according to the information of the recognized express, so as to transport the express to the transport components 1 in two different directions.

[0045] When the express does not need to be flipped, the roller shaft inside the second roller seat 24 drives the second drive roller 25 to rotate on the outside of the roller shaft, so that the express is transported along the second drive roller 25 to the other end of the flip plate 19. At the same time, the whole formed by the flip plate 19 and the connecting frame 20 rotates around the first center block 14 and the second center block 16 respectively, so as to realize the sorting operation of the express in three directions.

[0046] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art may still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
