[0025] The objectives, advantages and features of the present utility model will be illustrated and explained through the non-restrictive description of the following preferred embodiments. These embodiments are only typical examples of applying the technical solutions of the present utility model, and any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0026] In the description of the solution, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of description and simplification of the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] The sorting device disclosed by the present utility model will be described below with reference to the drawings. The sorting device is, for example, a known vertical cross-belt sorting device, a linear narrow-belt sorting machine, a vertical flap sorting machine or other feasible devices, which will not be elaborated herein. As shown in the attached Figure 1 drawing, it includes a sorting loop 100 composed of a circle of sorting trolleys 110 moving along a track. The sorting loop 100 is driven by a linear motor. The primary 300 of the linear motor is arranged in the area enclosed by the sorting loop 100, and the secondary 500 of the linear motor is arranged on the sorting trolley 110. The secondary 500 of the linear motor can be arranged at the bottom of the frame of each sorting trolley 110, or the secondary 500 can be arranged at the bottom of the frames of some of the sorting trolleys 110. The specific structures of the primary 300 and the secondary 500 are known technologies and will not be elaborated herein. The installation position and quantity of the primary 300 can be designed according to needs and are not limited herein.

[0028] As shown in the attached Figure 1 drawing, the sorting device further includes an anti-collision detection component 700 arranged upstream of each primary 300. The anti-collision detection component 700 is used to detect whether there are objects on the secondary 500 that may collide with the primary 300.

[0029] As shown in the attached Figure 2As shown, the anti-collision detection component 700 includes a mounting base 710. A trigger member 720 is pivotally connected to the mounting base 710. The trigger member 720 rotates about an axis extending parallel to the conveying direction of the sorting trolley 110. The trigger member 720 is connected to a spring 730, and the spring 730 keeps the trigger member 720 in the first position under normal conditions. A detection sensor 740 for detecting the position of the trigger member 720 is further provided on the mounting base 710. When the trigger member 720 is in the first position, the detection sensor 740 can or cannot detect the trigger member 720.

[0030] When an object is adsorbed on the surface of the secondary 500 and moves towards the anti-collision detection component 700, the trigger member 720 can block the debris. At the same time, the debris will exert a thrust on the trigger member 720, causing it to rotate relative to the mounting base 710. At this time, the detection sensor 740 will switch from a state where it can detect the trigger member 720 to a state where it cannot detect the trigger member 720, or the detection sensor 740 will switch from a state where it cannot detect the trigger member 720 to a state where it can detect the trigger member 720, and then an alarm can be issued or the sorting device can be controlled to stop for abnormal processing.

[0031] As shown in the attached Figure 2 attachment Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 710 includes a horizontal plate 711. Connecting holes are provided on the horizontal plate 711 to connect to external structures. A pivot plate 712 is provided on one side of the horizontal plate 711. The pivot plate 712 is U-shaped and the opening faces the side of the horizontal plate 711. A pivot shaft 750 is connected between two vertical plates 713 of the pivot plate 712 perpendicular to the horizontal plate 711. The trigger member 720 is pivotally connected to the pivot shaft 750. The trigger member 720 includes a pivot block 721 connected to the pivot shaft 750. A first plate member 722 is connected to the side of the pivot block 721 facing away from the pivot plate 712. When in the first position, the first plate member 722 remains vertical, and at the same time, the detection sensor 740 can detect the first plate member 722.

[0032] Since it is necessary to accurately control the distance between the trigger member 720 and the secondary 500, a second plate member 723 is adjustably connected to the first plate member 722 in terms of installation height, that is, a waist-shaped hole extending in their height direction is provided on one of the first plate member 722 and the second plate member 723, and a connecting hole corresponding to the waist-shaped hole is provided on the other. Thus, the first plate member 722 and the second plate member 723 are connected by bolts and nuts passing through the waist-shaped hole and the connecting hole.

[0033] As shown in the attached Figure 3As shown, the spring 730 is located on the side of the trigger 720 facing away from the pivot plate 712. One end of the spring 730 is connected to the adjusting bolt 760 on the first plate 722 of the trigger 720, and the other end of the spring 730 is connected to the mounting seat 710. The adjusting bolt 760 is perpendicular to the first plate 722. One side of the horizontal plate 711 of the mounting seat 710 is bent downward to form a connecting portion, and the other end of the spring 730 is connected to the connecting portion. The number of the springs 730 can be designed according to needs, for example, two and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the detection sensor 740.

[0034] The detection sensor 740 can be a known proximity sensor, ranging sensor, etc., and is fixed on the mounting plate on the horizontal plate 711. The mounting plate and the pivot plate 712 are on the same side of the horizontal plate 711.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to ensure the accurate reset of the trigger 720 after rotation, a abutting member 770 is also provided on the mounting seat 710. The abutting member 770 abuts against the trigger 720 in the first position and is distributed on the opposite sides of the first plate 722 of the trigger 720 with the spring 730. The abutting member 770 is an abutting post, which is fixed on the pivot plate 712 and perpendicular to the first plate 722 in the first position.

[0036] As shown in the appendix Figure 2 and the appendix Figure 3 As shown, in order to reduce the shutdown caused by the object moving to the trigger 720, a brush 780 is connected to the mounting seat 710 upstream of the trigger 720. The bristles of the brush 780 protrude from the end of the trigger 720. Specifically, a transfer rack 790 is connected to the side of the pivot member facing away from the trigger 720, and the brush 780 is mounted on the transfer rack 790.

[0037] As shown in the appendix Figure 1As shown, the trigger 720 of the anti-collision detection component 700 corresponds to the position of the secondary 500 on the sorting trolley 110. The installation height of the anti-collision detection component 700 can be determined according to the installation height of the primary 300. For example, the sorting loop 100 includes an upper straight section, a lower straight section, and turning sections connecting their two ends. When the primary 300 is used to drive the sorting trolley 110 at the upper straight section, the second plate member 723 of the anti-collision detection component 700 is located above the first plate member 722, and the top of the second plate member 723 is located a certain distance above the top of the primary 300 and does not affect the movement of the secondary 500 of the sorting trolley 110 at the upper straight section through the second plate member 723. Conversely, when the primary 300 is used to drive the sorting trolley 110 at the lower straight section, the second plate member 723 is located below the first plate member 722. As shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the second plate member 723 is lower than the bottom of the primary 300 and does not affect the movement of the secondary 500 of the sorting trolley 110 at the lower straight section through the second plate member 723.

[0038] As shown in the appendix Figure 4 As shown, the input end of the sorting device is connected to the discharge conveyor 900 or the discharge chute. In order to prevent jamming of materials between the output end of the sorting device and the receiving conveyor or the discharge chute, a jam detection device 200 is further provided at the output end of the sorting device. The jam detection device 200 can be a through-beam sensor located at the connection position between the sorting device and the receiving conveyor or the discharge chute. When the through-beam sensor continuously detects a package within a certain period of time, it can be considered that a package jamming situation has occurred, and the machine can be stopped or an alarm can be given.
