Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of sorting machines, and particularly relates to a sorting machine with a double-layer turnover plate. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of technology and the express delivery industry, in some relatively large logistics companies, the traditional manual method of distributing express deliveries has been gradually abandoned, and automated express sorting devices have emerged. Currently, the existing conventional circular sorting devices in the industry include a sorting track and sorting transport vehicles. Multiple sorting transport vehicles in the sorting track are connected end to end in sequence between the traveling frames. During sorting, each sorting transport vehicle maintains an independent sorting unit, receives packages containing barcode information at the bag feeding machine or the five-sided barcode scanning camera adjacent to the bag feeding machine, and then delivers the packages under the preset sorting compartments after processing.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent with the publication number CN115676277A discloses an automatic blanking mechanism for a sorting machine, including a conveying frame body, which is movably arranged on the conveying track of the sorting machine and can move and convey on the conveying track; a material receiving member, which is rotatably installed on the conveying frame body and is used for receiving materials, and the material receiving member is set as a material receiving hopper; a connecting arm, which is fixed on the conveying frame body; a rotating rod, the middle part of which is hinged to the connecting arm and can rotate on the connecting arm, and a limiting groove is opened on the side of the upper end of the rotating rod; a limiting member, which is installed on the material receiving member and one end of which can be inserted into the limiting groove of the rotating rod; and an actuating mechanism.

[0004] Although the above automatic blanking mechanism is convenient for blanking, the sorting machine adopts a single-layer turnover plate structure. When the moving speed of the sorting machine is constant, the number of packages passing through the sorting machine per unit time is limited, affecting the overall conveying efficiency of the sorting machine and resulting in limited sorting efficiency. In view of this, the sorting machine is improved. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Furthermore, it further includes:

[0024] An action unit, used to release the locked state of the locking mechanism;

[0025] Wherein, the action unit adopts an electromagnetic, pneumatic or hydraulic driving method.

[0026] Furthermore, it further includes:

[0049] Next, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0050] Embodiment 1:

[0051] As Figures 1-4 shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a sorting machine with a double-layer turning plate, including a conveying track 100 and a sorting and conveying vehicle 200 that can move on the conveying track 100. The sorting and conveying vehicle 200 includes:

[0052] A turning plate assembly 300, the turning plate assembly 300 is installed on the sorting and conveying vehicle 200, and the turning plate assembly 300 includes an upper turning plate 310 and a lower turning plate 320;

[0053] A locking mechanism 400, which is used to lock the upper turning plate 310 and the lower turning plate 320 respectively;

[0054] Wherein, when the upper turning plate 310 tilts, a protection space 500 is formed between the upper turning plate 310 and the lower turning plate 320.

[0055] By arranging the upper turning plate 310 and the lower turning plate 320 on the turning plate assembly 300, the transportation efficiency of the sorting and conveying vehicle 200 can be improved, and the sorting efficiency can be increased. The upper turning plate 310 and the lower turning plate 320 which are movably installed are locked by the locking mechanism 400. When the goods on the upper turning plate 310 and the lower turning plate 320 need to fall, the locking states of the upper turning plate 310 and the lower turning plate 320 are controlled by the corresponding locking mechanism 400. When the locking mechanism 400 controls the corresponding upper turning plate 310 and lower turning plate 320 to be unlocked, the upper turning plate 310 and the lower turning plate 320 tilt to slide the goods carried thereon down. When the upper turning plate 310 tilts, the protection space 500 prevents the goods on the lower turning plate 320 from being squeezed, playing a protective role for the goods on the lower turning plate 320. The upper turning plate 310 and the lower turning plate 320 on the same sorting and conveying vehicle 200 are separately controlled for locking states by the locking mechanism 400.

After the locking mechanism 400 corresponding to the upper turnover plate 310 controls contact and locking, the movable bracket 340 rotates around the hinge axis to tilt the upper turnover plate 310. The tilting angle of the upper turnover plate 310 after tilting is limited by the limiting member 350. The buffer damper 360 is installed on the limiting member 350 to buffer the tilting of the upper turnover plate 310, reduce the collision between the movable bracket 340 and the limiting member 350, reduce the noise when the upper turnover plate 310 tilts, and improve the stability of the movable bracket 340 during movement at the same time. The landing point when the upper turnover plate 310 tilts is placed at the outlet edge of the lower turnover plate 320. The tilting and blanking of the upper turnover plate 310 do not affect the operation and tilting action in the lower turnover plate 320. The hinge axis of the movable bracket 340 is located at the middle position of the movable bracket 340. After the upper turnover plate 310 tilts, a protection space 500 can be formed by enclosing the upper turnover plate 310, the lower turnover plate 320, the fixed bracket 330, and the movable bracket 340.
