Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics industry, in particular to a logistics sorting system for a supply chain. Background Art

[0002] Logistics sorting in the supply chain refers to a system that uses a series of technologies and equipment to classify, organize and distribute goods in supply chain management. Among them, objects are mainly sorted by using logistics sorting machines. The operating principle of logistics sorting machines is mainly composed of a main route and several branch routes connected to the main route. Workers will place objects in batches on the branch routes, and then the objects on several branch routes will eventually converge on the main route.

[0003] When the logistics sorting machine is in use, when objects from several branch routes are gathered on the main route, there is a certain angle between the direction of object transportation on the branch routes and the direction of object transportation on the main route. Therefore, when the objects on the branch routes are transported to the main route, due to inertia, the objects will touch the side protection structure of the main route. When the objects are transported by the main route, the objects will move to the side, which will cause the logistics sorting equipment to scan and record the barcode information of the objects. There will be problems with incomplete scanning or no scanning. Secondly, when the objects move to the side, the outer packaging of the objects and the side protection structure may get stuck with each other, which is not conducive to the use of the logistics sorting system in the supply chain.

[0004] Based on the above situation, it is necessary to design a supply chain logistics sorting system to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a logistics sorting system for a supply chain, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that information scanning is incomplete or cannot be scanned due to the transportation of objects along the edge, which is not conducive to the use of the logistics sorting system for the supply chain.

[0006] The technical problem solved by the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0013] Preferably, the bottom surface of the limiting plate contacts the surface of the main conveyor belt.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the size of the objects traveling on the main conveyor belt is sensed and measured by the width detection sensor, and then the two limit plates are deflected at a certain angle under the control of the controller. After the objects pass through the straightening channel, the objects are exactly in the center position of the main conveyor belt, which makes it convenient for subsequent information scanning and processing of the objects or recording of other information.

[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, a logistics sorting system for a supply chain includes a main conveyor belt 1 and branch conveyor belts 2 located on both sides of the main conveyor belt 1 and connected to the main conveyor belt 1. The connection between the main conveyor belt 1 and the branch conveyor belt 2 forms a merging conveyor path 3. The main conveyor belt 1 and the branch conveyor belt 2 are both existing equipment in the logistics sorting system of the supply chain of the prior art and are not elaborated in detail. They also include two limit plates 4 arranged at the output end of the merging conveyor path 3, a driving motor 6 arranged at the end of the limit plate 4 away from the straightening channel 5, a width detection sensor 7 and a controller 8. Specifically, one end of the two limit plates 4 is rotatably connected to both sides of the main conveyor belt 1 and is symmetrically arranged, and a straightening channel 5 is formed between the other ends of the two limit plates 4. A certain angle is formed between the limit plate 4 and the side of the main conveyor belt 1. When the channel between the two limit plates 4 extends from the input end to the output end, the channel shape is a tapered shape, and the straightening channel 5 is located at the narrow side of the tapered shape, and the bottom surface of the limit plate 4 is in contact with the surface of the main conveyor belt 1; the output end of the drive motor 6 is connected to the limit plate 4, and the two drive motors 6 run synchronously and are used to adjust the deflection angle of the limit plate 4; the width detection sensor 7 is arranged at a position between the straightening channel 5 and the merging conveyor 3, and the width detection sensor 7 is used to measure and sense the width size of the object conveyed on the main conveyor belt 1; the controller 8 is used to receive the measurement sensing signal transmitted by the width detection sensor 7 and drive the drive motor 6 to operate.

[0024] When several branch conveyor belts 2 transport objects to the main conveyor belt 1, the objects will be transported to the merging conveyor 3. Because the objects are affected by the conveying force of the branch conveyor belt 2, the objects will slide to a position close to the side wall of the main conveyor belt 1 under the action of inertia. What's more, some objects will directly contact the side wall of the main conveyor belt 1. Then the object will be moved forward by the main conveyor belt 1, and during the forward movement, the relative position of the object and the surface of the main conveyor belt 1 will not change. When the object moves to the position of the width detection sensor 7, the width detection sensor 7 will measure and sense the width of the object and form a corresponding size electrical signal. Then the input end of the controller 8 will receive the size electrical signal output by the output end of the width detection sensor 7. The system in the controller 8 will output a control signal according to the input data information. The control signal will control the operation of the drive motor 6, and the output of the drive motor 6 is determined by the data information set in the controller 8 in advance, that is, different sizes The output power of the driving motor 6 is different for each object, which makes the deflection angle of the limit plate 4 driven by the driving motor 6 different, and the width of the straightening channel 5 will also change accordingly. When the object moves to the position between the two limit plates 4, if the object is at the edge of the main conveyor belt 1, the object will touch the side of the limit plate 4 during the movement. Driven by the main conveyor belt 1, the object will continue to move until it is sent out from the straightening channel 5 between the two limit plates 4, which has been adjusted according to the width of the object. The straightening channel 5 is located at the center line position of the main conveying channel, so that when the object is sent out from the straightening channel 5, the object will be at the center line position of the main conveyor belt 1, which is convenient for subsequent scanning of information and at the same time, ensures that the object will not be stuck in the side gap of the main conveyor belt 1, so that the object can be transported normally. The above-mentioned device can be multiple, respectively installed at the intersection of several branch conveyor belts 2 and the main conveyor belt 1 in the logistics sorting system of the supply chain to transport objects.

[0025] In order to ensure that the width detection sensor 7 can sense and measure the dimensions of the object in all directions, two gantries 19 are connected to the main conveyor belt 1 between the straightening channel 5 and the merging conveyor 3, and the width detection sensor 7 is installed on the gantries 19. The output ends of the width detection sensor 7 are all facing the position between the two gantries 19. When the object is moving between the two gantries 19, the width detection sensor 7 installed on the gantry 19 will measure the width of the object from all angles.

[0026] The width detection sensor 7 mentioned above is preferably an ultrasonic width detection sensor 7, and its operating principle is to determine the distance and width of the object by emitting ultrasonic pulses and measuring the time it takes for the pulses to return. When the object on the main conveyor belt 1 approaches the sensor, the ultrasonic width detection sensor 7 will emit ultrasonic pulses to the object, and the ultrasonic pulses will be reflected by the object and return to the sensor. The sensor can calculate the width of the object by measuring the return time, and then the ultrasonic width detection sensor 7 will transmit the information data of the measured object width to the controller 8.

[0027] Furthermore, a slot 9 is provided on the limit plate 4, and the slot 9 is rotatably connected to two rotating rollers 10. The two rotating rollers 10 are provided with auxiliary tracks 11. When the object contacts the side of the limit plate 4, it will contact the auxiliary tracks 11 at the same time. One of the rotating rollers 10 is provided with a power component for rotating the rotating roller 10, and the power component drives the auxiliary tracks 11 to rotate. The object in contact with the side of the limit plate 4 will continue to move forward under the rotation of the auxiliary tracks 11, avoiding the problem that the friction coefficient between the object and the limit plate 4 is high, which causes the object to be stuck in the limit and not move with the main conveyor belt 1.

[0028] Among them, the power component includes a pulley 12 connected to one end of one of the rotating rollers 10, a pulley 2 14 connected to the limit plate 4, a transmission belt 120 and a motor 13 arranged on the limit plate 4. The output end of the motor 13 is connected to the pulley 2 14, and the transmission belt 120 is sleeved on the pulley 12 and the pulley 2 14. When in use, the output end of the motor 13 drives the pulley 2 14 to rotate, and then drives the pulley 12 to rotate through the transmission belt 120, and then drives the rotating roller 10 connected thereto to rotate, and the rotating roller 10 will drive the auxiliary crawler 11 to run and rotate.

[0029] Furthermore, slot 19 is connected by a contact plate frame 15, and the side of the contact plate frame 15 contacts the inner side of the auxiliary track 11. In order to ensure the effect of the auxiliary track 11 in carrying objects, and to ensure that the auxiliary track 11 does not collapse when in contact with objects, the auxiliary track 11 is installed so that the vertical plane where the outer surface of the auxiliary track 11 is located is higher than the vertical plane where the corresponding side of the limit plate 4 is located, that is, the surface of the auxiliary track 11 will contact the object before the surface of the limit plate 4. In addition, the outer surface of the auxiliary track 11 is provided with anti-skid grooves 16, which increase the friction coefficient between the surface of the auxiliary track 11 and the object, thereby enhancing the driving effect of the auxiliary track 11 on the object.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to prevent friction between the price and the limit plate 4, a slot 2 17 is opened on the limit plate 4, and a number of rotating columns 18 are rotatably connected in the slot 2 17. When the rotating columns 18 rotate, the auxiliary track 11 can carry the animal to move more smoothly.
