[0002] A logistics conveyor line is a key equipment in modern logistics systems, mainly used for the automated transmission and processing of materials, products or packages. By connecting different operating points, it improves the efficiency and accuracy of the logistics process. However, a steerable conveyor line allows for dynamic adjustment of the conveying path according to actual needs, which is particularly important for warehousing and production environments that need to frequently change layouts or handle different types of goods;

[0003] In traditional logistics conveyor lines, materials are usually placed at the starting end of the conveying rollers. Through a single-chip microcomputer to control the operation of the driving device, the conveyor belt will start to rotate under the drive of the pulley, thereby driving the materials placed on it to move forward. With the continuous movement of the conveying rollers, the materials will be conveyed from the starting point to the end point. When the materials reach the end of the conveyor line, they will be unloaded;

[0004] Traditional logistics conveyor lines have the following problems: In traditional conveyor lines, path adjustment requires physical modification of the system, which may involve disassembly, reassembly, and re-debugging of the system. The process is complex and time-consuming, which limits flexibility in application scenarios where material diversion or steering is required.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , this embodiment provides a technical solution: a steerable logistics conveyor line, including a support frame 1 and a steering mechanism 5;

[0025] Support frame 1: Rotating grooves 6 are respectively formed in the front and rear inner walls thereof. Uniformly distributed roller cylinders 4 are rotatably connected between the inner walls of the rotating grooves 6. It further includes a transmission assembly 9. The transmission assembly 9 includes a single-groove pulley 91 and a double-groove pulley 92. The single-groove pulleys 91 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the front ends of the leftmost and rightmost roller cylinders 4. The double-groove pulleys 92 are fixedly sleeved on the front ends of the middle roller cylinders 4. The leftmost single-groove pulley 91 is connected to the adjacent double-groove pulley 92, the adjacent double-groove pulleys 92 in the middle, and the rightmost single-groove pulley 91 is connected to the adjacent double-groove pulley 92 through belt drives. The single-groove pulleys 91 and the double-groove pulleys 92 are all located inside the housing 3. The diameters of the single-groove pulleys 91 and the double-groove pulleys 92 are different, which can realize belt drive. The lower surface of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected with an installation housing 2. It further includes a housing 3. The housing 3 is fixedly connected to the front side of the support frame 1. A single-chip microcomputer 8 is provided at the right end of the front side of the housing 3. The input end of the single-chip microcomputer 8 is electrically connected to an external power supply. It further includes a stepping motor 7. The stepping motor 7 is installed on the right end of the rear side of the support frame 1 through bolts. The front end of the output shaft of the stepping motor 7 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rightmost roller cylinder 4. The input end of the stepping motor 7 is electrically connected to the output end of the single-chip microcomputer 8. Place the logistics object at the left starting point of the roller cylinder 4, and then control the operation of the stepping motor 7 through the single-chip microcomputer 8. The rotation of the output shaft of the stepping motor 7 drives the rotation of the rightmost roller cylinder 4. The rotation of the rightmost roller cylinder 4 drives the rotation of the rightmost single-groove pulley 91. The rightmost single-groove pulley 91 is driven by a belt to the adjacent double-groove pulley 92 and the adjacent double-groove pulleys 92 in the middle until the leftmost single-groove pulley 91. Through the driving action of the belt, each roller cylinder 4 starts to rotate synchronously. The rotation directions and speeds of all the roller cylinders 4 are kept consistent to ensure the stable transportation of the material. The material gradually moves towards the right end point under the rotation of all the roller cylinders 4. The rotation of the roller cylinder 4 pushes the material to move along the conveyor line until it reaches the right end point of the conveyor line. It further includes support legs 10. The support legs 10 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the lower surface of the support frame 1;

[0026] Steering mechanism 5: It includes a guide wheel 51, a mounting groove 52, a mounting bracket 53 and a rotating shaft 55. The rotating shaft 55 is rotatably connected to the rear ends between the left and right inner walls of the mounting housing 2. A uniformly distributed mounting bracket 53 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 55. The mounting brackets 53 are all offset from the left and right positions of the roller 4. Mounting grooves 52 are respectively opened inside the mounting brackets 53. Uniformly distributed guide wheels 51 are rotatably connected inside the mounting grooves 52. The guide wheels 51 are all rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting grooves 52 through pin shafts. The steering mechanism 5 further includes a support rod 54. The number of the support rods 54 is two. The two support rods 54 are both fixedly connected to the front ends between the mounting brackets 53. The steering mechanism 5 further includes a mounting bracket 53, a rotating hole 56, a connecting block 57, an electric push rod 58 and a U-shaped seat 59. The number of the U-shaped seats 59 is two. The two U-shaped seats 59 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the bottom wall of the mounting housing 2. Electric push rods 58 are rotatably connected inside the U-shaped seats 59 through pin shafts. The tops of the electric push rods 58 are all fixedly connected with connecting blocks 57. Rotating holes 56 are respectively opened inside the connecting blocks 57. The rotating holes 56 are all rotatably connected to the adjacent ends of the front support rods 54. The input ends of the electric push rods 58 are electrically connected to the output end of the single-chip microcomputer 8. When it is necessary to adjust the conveying path of the material, the single-chip microcomputer 8 will control the stepping motor 7 to stop running, stop the movement of the roller 4, and ensure that the material remains stationary during the adjustment process. Then the single-chip microcomputer 8 controls the electric push rod 58 to start running. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 58 pushes the support rod 54 through the connecting block 57. Driven by the electric push rod 58, the support rod 54 drives the mounting bracket 53 to start rotating around the rotating shaft 55. At the same time, the electric push rod 58 rotates around the pin shaft center inside the U-shaped seat 59, so that the mounting bracket 53 gradually tilts. As the mounting bracket 53 tilts, the guide wheels 51 inside the mounting bracket 53 gradually contact the bottom of the material. When the mounting bracket 53 tilts to a certain angle, the guide wheels 51 guide the bottom of the material to gradually move backward. The tilt of the guide wheels 51 guides the material to slide out of the original conveying path, changing the conveying direction of the material and facilitating adaptation to different conveying requirements.

[0027] The working principle of the steerable logistics conveyor line provided by the present utility model is as follows: First, place the logistics object at the left starting point of the roller 4. Then, regulate the operation of the stepping motor 7 through the single-chip microcomputer 8. The output shaft of the stepping motor 7 rotates to drive the rightmost roller 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rightmost roller 4 drives the rotation of the rightmost single-groove pulley 91. The rightmost single-groove pulley 91 drives the adjacent double-groove pulley 92 and the adjacent double-groove pulley 92 in the middle until the leftmost single-groove pulley 91 through belt transmission. Through the transmission of the belt, each roller 4 starts to rotate synchronously, and the rotation direction and speed of all rollers 4 are kept consistent to ensure the stable transportation of materials. The materials gradually move towards the right end point under the rotation of all rollers 4. The rotation of the rollers 4 pushes the materials to move along the conveyor line until reaching the right end point of the conveyor line. When it is necessary to adjust the conveying path of the materials, the single-chip microcomputer 8 will regulate the stepping motor 7 to stop operating, stopping the movement of the roller 4 to ensure that the materials remain stationary during the adjustment process. Then, the single-chip microcomputer 8 regulates the electric push rod 58 to start operating. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 58 pushes the support rod 54 through the connecting block 57. Driven by the electric push rod 58, the support rod 54 drives the mounting bracket 53 to start rotating around the rotating shaft 55. At the same time, the electric push rod 58 rotates around the pin shaft center in the U-shaped seat 59, making the mounting bracket 53 gradually tilt. As the mounting bracket 53 tilts, the guide wheel 51 in the mounting bracket 53 gradually contacts the bottom of the materials. When the mounting bracket 53 tilts to a certain angle, the guide wheel 51 guides the bottom of the materials to gradually move backward. The tilt of the guide wheel 51 guides the materials to slide out of the original conveying path, changing the conveying direction of the materials to facilitate adapting to different conveying requirements.

[0028] It should be noted that the specific model of the single-chip microcomputer 8 disclosed in the above embodiments is STM32F207VCT6. It is recommended to select DYTP for the electric push rod 58, and HB42A31-1004A can be selected for the stepping motor 7. The single-chip microcomputer 8 controls the operation of the electric push rod 58 and the stepping motor 7 using the commonly used methods in the prior art.

[0029] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
