Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of warehousing equipment, in particular to an efficient sorting device for warehousing logistics. Background Art

[0002] Traditional logistics warehousing refers to the basic activities of storing and preserving items by using facilities such as warehouses and sites. This warehousing method pays more attention to the safe storage of items and the management of quantity to meet the basic material needs. In addition to the basic functions of storage and preservation, modern logistics warehousing also has multiple functions such as regulation, inspection, collection and distribution, sorting, and distribution. Modern logistics warehousing pays more attention to the sorting efficiency of goods, transportation costs, and service quality. During the process of sorting goods in warehousing logistics, it is necessary to develop an efficient sorting device that can meet the logistics requirements of large scale, high efficiency, and low error rate, and provide technical support for the high-efficiency operation of modern logistics warehousing.

[0003] In actual sorting operations, the traditional gravity flow rack is a device that can basically meet the requirements of rapid sorting and high-efficiency operation in modern logistics. In the prior art, the traditional gravity flow rack usually stacks goods at the picking end and relies on the gravity of the goods themselves to move towards the picking end. However, during the use process, due to the long stroke of the traditional gravity flow rack and the small slope, the transportation of goods in the middle part of the gravity flow rack will lose power, resulting in cargo jamming, affecting the smoothness of cargo transportation, and reducing the sorting efficiency of goods. In addition, during the process of sorting goods, due to improper operation, there may be over-picking or mis-picking of goods. The traditional gravity flow rack has the picking end higher than the picking end, and cannot effectively transport the over-picked or mis-picked goods to the picking area in time, affecting the subsequent picking efficiency and further reducing the sorting efficiency of goods.

[0034] An embodiment of the present utility model provides an efficient sorting device for warehousing logistics, as Figure 1 shown, including a support unit 1, a fluent unit 3, and a power unit 4 for providing power for the transportation of goods;

[0035] The fluent unit is arranged in the support unit and is limited by the support unit to provide support for the fluent unit;

[0036] The flow unit includes a plurality of conveying elements for transporting goods from the picking end 301 to the picking end 302, and a return element 34 for transporting goods from the picking end 302 to the picking end 301;

[0037] The power unit 4 is arranged on one side of the conveying element close to the picking end 301;

[0038] Or, the power unit is arranged on one side of the conveying element close to the picking end 301 and on one side of the return element 34 close to the picking end 302.

[0039] Working principle: During use, the support unit 1 limits the flow unit 3 through two support frames 2 and provides support for the flow unit 3; the flow unit 3 realizes the transportation of goods from the picking end 301 to the picking end 302 of the conveying element and the transportation of goods from the picking end 302 to the picking end 301 of the return element 34 by arranging the conveying element with the picking end 301 higher than the picking end 302 and the return element 34 with the picking end 301 lower than the picking end 302; the power unit 4 arranged at the picking end 301 of the conveying element can provide power for transporting the goods to the picking end 302.

[0040] In another embodiment, the support unit 1 includes two support frames 2, which are arranged opposite to each other and limit the flow unit 3 respectively, and the flow unit 3 is arranged between the two support frames 2. By arranging the support frames 2 on both sides of the flow unit 3, the support effect of the two support frames 2 on the flow unit 3 can be realized, and the position of the flow unit can also be fixed through the support unit, so that the goods transportation process can be completed stably.

[0041] In another embodiment, the flow unit 3 includes a first conveying element 31, a second conveying element 32, a third conveying element 33, and a return element 34 from top to bottom; the height of the picking end 301 of the conveying element is higher than the height of the picking end 302; the height of the picking end 302 of the return element 34 is higher than the height of the picking end 301. By arranging three conveying elements in the flow unit 3, it can be ensured that the height of each layer of the conveying element in the sorting device of the present application can meet the good passing performance during the goods transportation process. The reason is that arranging more layers of conveying elements will cause congestion in the space between each layer of conveying elements, while arranging fewer layers of conveying elements will cause space waste. In addition, a return element 34 is also arranged at the bottom, which can ensure that the goods picked more or mispicked can be timely returned to the picking area for secondary sorting, thereby improving the efficiency of goods sorting.

[0042] In another embodiment, the power unit 4 includes a power element 402, a cargo-carrying element 403, and a driving element 401; the power element 402 is connected to the side of the conveying element near the goods distribution end 301 for providing power for goods transportation; the cargo-carrying element 403 is connected to the end of the power element 402 away from the conveying element for placing goods; the driving element 401 is located on the side of the power element 402 near the support unit 1 for providing power for the power element 402. By first placing the goods at the cargo-carrying element 403, after the scanning and sorting are completed, the cargo box is pushed to the power element 402 driven by the driving element. The power element 402 pushes the cargo box into the goods distribution end 301 of the conveying element and is transported to the goods pickup end 302 by the goods distribution end 301; on the one hand, when the cargo box jams at the conveying element, there is no need for manual pushing or intervention to handle the jammed cargo box, and the subsequent cargo boxes accelerated by the power unit 4 will provide a certain assisting driving force for the front cargo box, and the later-entering cargo box will push the jammed cargo box forward for transportation, realizing the movement towards the goods pickup end 302; on the other hand, the cargo boxes with better transportation power themselves will also avoid the phenomenon of jamming, thereby improving the efficiency of goods transportation and sorting.

[0043] In another embodiment, the cargo-carrying element 403 is a platform, and the driving element 401 includes a driving motor 303, a conveyor belt 406, a transmission shaft 404, and transmission wheels; the transmission wheels include a first transmission wheel 405 and a second transmission wheel 304. The driving motor 303 is connected to the first transmission wheel 405 through the transmission shaft 404, and the first transmission wheel 405 is connected to the second transmission wheel 304 through the conveyor belt 406. The driving motor 303 can drive the first transmission wheel 405 and the second transmission wheel 304 to rotate simultaneously. As Figure 2 shown, through the arrangement of components such as the cargo-carrying element 403 and the driving element 401, the goods can be first placed at the cargo-carrying element 403 for sorting. After the sorting is completed, the driving motor 303 in the driving element 401 drives the first transmission wheel 405 and the second transmission wheel 304 to rotate, providing acceleration for the cargo box, pushing the cargo box into the flow unit, and providing the transportation power for the cargo box from the goods distribution end 301 to the goods pickup end 302 of the flow unit.

[0044] In another embodiment, the power element 402 includes rollers; the rollers include a first roller 407 and a second roller 410; the first roller 407 includes a number of first sub-rollers 412 connected end to end, and the second roller 410 includes a number of second sub-rollers 413 connected end to end; the first roller 407 is connected to the end of the first transmission wheel 405 away from the driving motor; the second roller 410 is connected to the end of the second transmission wheel away from the driving motor. As Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown in the figure, the drive motor 303 is first connected to the first driving wheel 405 through the transmission shaft 404. The first driving wheel 405 is connected to the second driving wheel 304 through the conveyor belt 406. During the driving process, the drive motor 303 can drive the rotation of the first driving wheel 405 and the second driving wheel 304, and at the same time drive the rotation of the first roller 407 connected to the first driving wheel 405 and the second roller 410 connected to the second driving wheel 304. A number of first sub-rollers 412 and second sub-rollers 413 distributed at different positions will transport the goods from the cargo-carrying element 403 to the goods-distributing end 301 of the conveying element, providing conveying power for the goods.

[0045] In another embodiment, the power element further includes a support roller 409 and a bottom plate; the support roller 409 is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part is a ball bearing, which is respectively connected to the roller connecting rods 408 between the first sub-rollers 412 and between the second sub-rollers 413. The lower part is a support member connected to the bottom plate, providing support for the first roller 407 and the second roller 410. As Figure 3 shown, by arranging the support roller 409 at the power element, the upper end of the support roller 409 is respectively in rolling connection with the roller connecting rods 408 between the first sub-rollers 412 and between the second sub-rollers 413, and the lower end is connected to the bottom plate. On the one hand, it can ensure the smooth rotation between the first sub-rollers 412 and the second sub-rollers 413. On the other hand, it can provide a certain degree of support for the first roller 407 and the second roller 410 during transportation, be able to bear a greater weight of goods, and improve the stability of goods transportation.

[0046] In another embodiment, the flow unit 3 further includes a partition plate 37. Partition plates 37 are respectively arranged at the central positions of the first conveying element 31, the second conveying element 32, the third conveying element 33, and the return element 34. The partition plate 37 extends from the goods-distributing end 301 to the goods-picking end 302 for separating the goods transmission. By arranging the partition plates 37 at fixed positions of the conveying element and the return element, the goods are transported along the length direction of the partition plate 37 to ensure that the goods do not shift.

[0047] In another embodiment, the flow unit 3 further includes flow bars 35 and flow frames 36. The heights of the flow bars 35 in the conveying element and the return element 34 are both lower than the height of the flow frame 36. By setting the height of the flow frame 36 in the flow unit 3 slightly higher than the height of the flow bar 35, it can decelerate and block the transported cargo box. At the same time, the slope of the sorting device in this application is gentler and the flow unit 3 is longer, ensuring the stable docking of the cargo box at the goods-picking end 302, thereby avoiding using too high a baffle to block the goods and making it more convenient to pick up the goods from the cargo box at the goods-picking end 302.

[0048] In another embodiment, the distribution end 301 of the return element 34 is a return flat plate 38 for the recycling placement of sorted goods. When goods are mispicked or overpicked, the excess goods do not need to be stacked at the picking end 302, but are directly transported by the return element 34 from the picking end 302 of the return element 34 to the distribution end 301, and the returned goods are parked at the return flat plate 38 waiting for secondary sorting, improving the picking efficiency and sorting efficiency of the goods in the area to be sorted.

[0049] In another embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, an electronic tag 411 is further provided at one end of the goods-carrying platform away from the flow unit 3 for scanning the goods. By setting the electronic tag 411 at one end of the goods-carrying platform away from the flow unit 3, the goods to be sorted can be scanned and recorded, and after being packed in a box, the box is placed on the goods-carrying platform. After the goods are scanned, the box is packed and enters the distribution end 301 of the flow unit 3 and is transported to the picking end 302.

[0050] As Figure 5 shown, during the transportation process, the staff scans the goods through the electronic tag 411 and then packs them in a box. The sorted goods are placed at the goods-carrying element 403. After sorting is completed, the box is pushed to the power element 402. After being driven by the first roller 407 and the second roller 410, the box is transported from the distribution end 301 to the picking end 302 of the conveying element; by setting the power element 402, a driving force can be provided for the subsequent box. The box boosted by the power element 402 can push the jammed box or the heavier box to continue to be transported from the distribution end 301 to the picking end 302 of the conveying element, improving the transportation efficiency; the goods are rechecked at the picking end 302. When rechecking the goods, if there are missed picked goods, they can be supplemented by the conveying element. If there are single goods that are overpicked or mispicked, the goods are transported from the picking end 302 to the distribution end 301 through the return element 34 to complete the return of the goods and reach the area to be sorted for secondary sorting, improving the sorting efficiency of the goods.

[0051] The above are only the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application.
