[0029] In the existing sorting module, rollers are provided on its surface, and the sorting module rotates to turn the goods sliding in the sorting device. The existing sorting module is provided with rollers of different lengths, and the longer rollers are placed between the shorter rollers, so that the rotation path of the sorting module occupies a smaller space. However, the bracket for installing the rollers needs to be designed more complexly, resulting in more time and cost for manufacturing the bracket.

[0030] In view of this, the present utility model proposes a sorting module 100, which is used for conveying goods, and the overall rotation of the sorting module 100 is used to control the conveying direction of the goods, so as to achieve the purpose of sorting the goods.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the sorting module 100 includes a sorting bracket 1 and a roller assembly. The sorting bracket 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and two side plates 12 spaced apart on the bottom plate 11. An installation space 1a is formed between the two side plates 12. First grooves 121 and second grooves 122 are formed on one side of the two side plates 12 away from the bottom plate 11. The roller assembly includes at least two short-axis rollers 3 and at least one long-axis roller 4. The length of the short-axis roller 3 is less than that of the long-axis roller 4. The long-axis roller 4 is located between at least two short-axis rollers 3. The short-axis roller 3 includes a fixed shaft rod 31 and a barrel body 32 sleeved on the fixed shaft rod 31. Opposite ends of the fixed shaft rod 31 are respectively fixed in the two first grooves 121. The long-axis roller 4 includes a rotating shaft rod 41, a main roller 43, and two auxiliary rollers 44. The main roller 43 and the two auxiliary rollers 44 are respectively sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft rod 41. The main roller 43 is located between the two auxiliary rollers 44. A bearing 42 is arranged between the main roller 43 and any one of the auxiliary rollers 44. The bearing 42 includes an outer bearing 421 and an inner bearing 422. The inner bearing 422 is rotatably connected to the outer bearing 421. The two outer bearings 421 are fixed in the two second grooves 122.

[0032] It should be noted that the sorting bracket 1 is formed by bending sheet metal parts. Therefore, the bottom plate 11 and the two side plates 12 in this embodiment are integrally formed. Of course, the bottom plate 11 can also be welded to the two side plates 12 respectively. An installation space 1a for installing the roller assembly is formed between the two side plates 12. By installing the roller assembly in the installation space 1a, the goods passing through the sorting module 100 can drive the goods located on the roller assembly to reach the next target area through the rotation of the roller assembly.

[0033] Specifically, this roller assembly is different from the existing roller assemblies. It is provided with a long-axis roller 4 and short-axis rollers 3. Among them, the length of the long-axis roller 4 is greater than that of the short-axis roller 3, and the long-axis roller 4 is at least located between two short-axis rollers 3. Such a setting is considered that the sorting module 100 is rotatably connected to the bracket on which it is installed, and generally multiple sorting modules 100 are set to rotate cooperatively. In order to make the sorting module 100 not occupy a large space during the rotation process, long-axis rollers 4 and short-axis rollers 3 with different lengths are provided, and the short-axis rollers 3 are arranged on the outside. Therefore, the short-axis rollers 3 occupy less space in the rotation path, making the distance between multiple cooperative sorting modules 100 smaller and making the turning effect on the goods better.

[0034] In this embodiment, it is defined that there are at least two short-axis rollers 3 and at least one long-axis roller 4. Among them, the number of short-axis rollers 3 can be two, three or even more, but the long-axis roller 4 should be arranged between at least two short-axis rollers 3. The number of short-axis rollers 3 on both sides of the long-axis roller 4 can be the same or different. The number of long-axis rollers 4 can be one or more, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0035] Among them, the long-axis roller 4 includes a fixed shaft rod 31 and a barrel body 32. The fixed shaft rod 31 is fixed in the first groove 121, and the barrel body 32 can rotate relative to the first groove 121, and the rotation of its barrel body 32 drives the goods to slide. The short-axis roller 3 includes a rotating shaft rod 41, a main roller 43 and two auxiliary rollers 44. The length of the main roller 43 is basically the same as the length of the barrel body 32, and the two auxiliary rollers 44 are arranged on opposite sides of the main roller 43. The main roller 43 and the auxiliary rollers 44 are separated so that it is convenient to arrange a bearing 42 between the main roller 43 and the auxiliary rollers 44. The first roller and the second roller with different lengths are respectively installed on the side plate 12 of the sorting module 100 through the bearing 42. The structure of the side plate 12 can be set relatively simply without excessive processes for deformation or bending, so that rollers with different lengths can be installed. Moreover, the volume of the overall sorting support 1 is small, reducing the space occupied by the sorting support 1, reducing the material loss of sheet metal parts, and saving the overall cost of the sorting module 100.

[0036] The technical solution of the present utility model is to install the long-axis rollers 4 and short-axis rollers 3 with different lengths on the side plate 12 of the sorting support 1 respectively, so that the side plate 12 of the sorting support 1 can install rollers with different lengths without deformation or bending, and the volume of the overall sorting support 1 is small, reducing the space occupied by the sorting support 1 and also reducing the overall cost of the sorting module 100.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the barrel body 32 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft rod 31, the main roller 43 and the two auxiliary rollers 44 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft rod 41, the rotating shaft rod 41 is fixedly connected to the inner bearing 422 and the rotating shaft rod 41 and the inner bearing 422 rotate synchronously.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the cylinder body 32 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft rod 31, that is, when the goods slide past the short-axis roller 3, the cylinder body 32 rotates while the fixed shaft rod 31 remains stationary. When the goods slide past the long-axis roller, both the main roller 43 and the auxiliary roller 44 can rotate, and the rotating shaft rod 41 is fixedly connected to the main roller 43 and the auxiliary roller 44. During the rotation of the main roller 43 and the auxiliary roller 44, the rotating shaft rod 41 will also rotate together, and the rotating shaft rod 41 is fixedly connected to the inner bearing 422, and the rotating shaft rod 41 and the inner bearing 422 rotate together.

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the first groove 121 is arranged as a square groove.

[0040] It should be noted that in order to prevent the fixed shaft rod 31 from shaking and generating a certain displacement during the rotation of the cylinder body 32, the first groove 121 is set as a square groove. In this way, the fixed shaft rod 31 can be better fixed. Of course, the first groove 121 can also be other polygons.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the sorting module 100 further includes a cover plate 5, which is installed on one side of the two side plates 12 away from the bottom plate 11 to limit the relative positions of the short-axis roller 3 and the long-axis roller 4.

[0042] Specifically, it should be noted that in order to better fix and limit the long-axis roller 4 and the short-axis roller 3, a cover plate 5 is provided above the installation space 1a. By installing the cover plate 5 on the side plate 12, the cover plate 5 covers the openings of the first groove 121 and the second groove 122, preventing the long-axis roller 4 and the short-axis roller 3 from disengaging from the first groove 121 and the second groove 122. Among them, the fixing method between the cover plate 5 and the sorting bracket 1 can be plugging, snapping, or screwing, which is not specifically limited here. In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the cover plate 5 is circularly arranged so that the rotation path of the sorting module 100 does not occupy a large space. Of course, in other embodiments, the outer periphery of the cover plate 5 can be square or irregularly shaped.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the sorting bracket 1 includes a connecting ear 13. The connecting ear 13 is connected to one end of the side plate 12 away from the bottom plate 11 and extends outward from the side plate 12. An installation hole 131 is provided on the connecting ear 13, and the cover plate 5 is screwed to the installation hole 131.

[0044] It should be noted that, considering that in order to make the connection between the sorting support 1 and the cover plate 5 more stable, the cover plate 5 is installed on the sorting support 1 by screwing. Also considering that the thickness of the side plate 12 of the sorting support 1 is relatively thin and it is difficult to directly screw it with the cover plate 5, a connecting ear 13 is provided on the sorting support 1, and a mounting hole 131 is provided on the connecting ear 13, so that the cover plate 5 is screwed to the mounting hole 131 on the connecting ear 13. In other embodiments, it is also possible that convex ear parts are provided on the cover plate 5 facing the support, and then the convex ear parts are screwed to the side plate 12.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , a cushion block 51 protrudes from the cover plate 5 towards the connecting ear 13, and a screw passes through the cushion block 51 and is screwed to the mounting hole 131.

[0046] Specifically, a cushion block 51 protrudes from the cover plate 5 towards the connecting ear 13, and a screw passes through the cushion block 51, and then is installed in cooperation with the mounting hole 131.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the sorting module 100 further includes a driving assembly 2, the driving assembly 2 is installed in the installation space 1a, the driving assembly 2 includes a motor assembly 21 and two transmission parts 22, the motor assembly 21 is respectively drivingly connected to the two transmission parts 22, and when both the long-axis roller 4 and the short-axis roller 3 are provided in two, any one of the transmission parts 22 is respectively drivingly connected to the short-axis roller 3 and the long-axis roller 4.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, two transmission parts 22 are driven to rotate by one driving motor, and one transmission part 22 drives one long-axis roller 4 and one short-axis roller 3 to rotate, and the other transmission part 22 drives the other long-axis roller 4 and the other short-axis roller 3 to rotate, so as to realize the motor assembly 21 controlling the rotation of the above four rollers. Among them, the transmission modes between the motor assembly 21, the transmission parts 22, the two short-axis rollers 3 and the two long-axis rollers 4 can be meshing transmission, belt transmission, or chain transmission, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0049] Preferably, please refer to Figures 2 to 5, the motor assembly 21 includes a rotatable motor body 211 and a motor gear 212 connected to the motor body 211. The motor gear 212 and the motor body 211 rotate synchronously. The transmission member 22 includes a mounting rod 221 and a transmission gear 222 sleeved on the mounting rod 221. The mounting rod 221 is fixed to the side plate 12. The transmission gears 222 of the two transmission rods are meshed with the motor gear 212 for transmission. A first gear 33 is sleeved on the fixed shaft rod 31, and the first gear 33 is fixedly connected to the cylinder body 32. A second gear 45 is sleeved on the rotating shaft rod 41, and the second gear 45 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft rod 41. Both the first gear 33 and the second gear 45 are meshed with the transmission gear 222.

[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , a cut surface 411 is provided on the rotating shaft rod 41 in its axial direction, and the second gear 45 is provided with an assembly hole 451 adapted to the rotating shaft rod 41 to prevent the rotating shaft rod 41 from rotating relative to the second gear 45.

[0051] Considering that the main body of the rotating shaft rod 41 is cylindrically arranged, and the rotating shaft rod 41 needs to be driven by the second gear 45 to rotate synchronously, it is necessary to prevent relative rotation between the second gear 45 and the rotating shaft rod 41. A cut surface 411 is provided on the rotating shaft rod 41 along its axial direction, and the second gear 45 is provided with an assembly hole 451 adapted to the outer circumference of the rotating shaft rod 41, so that the rotating shaft rod 41 is circumferentially limited in the assembly hole 451. Therefore, when the second gear 45 drives the rotating shaft rod 41 to rotate together, the second gear 45 will not rotate relative to the rotating shaft rod 41, and the overall transmission effect of the sorting module 100 is better.

[0052] The present invention also provides a sorting device, which includes a sorting module 100. The specific structure of the sorting module 100 refers to the above embodiments. Since this sorting device adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0053] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied to other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
