Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of express delivery separation, and in particular relates to a novel express delivery single piece separation device. Background Art

[0002] The rapid growth of express delivery business has brought tremendous development opportunities to the logistics equipment and technology industry. Major express delivery companies' sorting centers have introduced fully automated express delivery sorting lines, significantly improving the automation level of express delivery sorting. Automated equipment requires individual packages to be separated sequentially for scanning or sorting, a process known as piece separation. Currently, manual piece separation is still the primary method for separating express packages. This requires manual separation, which is inefficient, inflexible, and labor-intensive. Existing piece separation devices on the market utilize multiple small belts, controlled by machine vision and programmable logic controllers. However, the piece separation process requires multiple motors to drive these belts, resulting in high overall cost. Furthermore, the belts continue to rotate regardless of whether a package is on them, resulting in high power consumption. Consequently, due to their high price and high power consumption, current equipment is primarily used by large logistics companies and has been largely ignored by small and medium-sized logistics enterprises. Therefore, we sought to design a new piece separation device with a novel structure to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new express single piece separation device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] The utility model is realized by the following technical solution: a novel express single-item separation device, comprising: a frame, a separation component 1, a separation component 2, and a separation component 3, wherein the separation component 1 for separation is installed on the left side of the upper end of the frame, the separation component 2 for waiting for separation is installed in the middle of the upper end of the frame, and the separation component 3 for temporary storage is installed on the right side of the upper end of the frame;

[0005] The frame includes a right-angle reducer, an adjustment member, and a profile frame. A plurality of right-angle reducers are installed on the rear side of the profile frame, and a plurality of adjustment members are movably installed on the front and rear sides of the profile frame.

[0006] The separation component three includes a driving roller, a driven roller and a transmission belt. The driving roller is transmission-connected to one end of a plurality of transmission belts, and the other ends of the plurality of transmission belts are transmission-connected to the driven roller.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the adjusting member includes a fixing plate and a screw rod. The front and rear sides of the profile frame are respectively movably mounted with fixing plates through groove bolts. The outer side of the fixing plate is threadedly connected to the screw rod through a connecting plate. The setting of the adjusting member can independently adjust the tension of the transmission belts on the separation component one, the separation component two and the separation component three according to needs.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the driving roller includes a driving shaft, an electromagnetic clutch, a fixing frame and an active roller. The front end of the driving shaft is rotatably connected to the front side of the profile frame through a seat bearing, and the rear end of the driving shaft is connected to the right-angle reducer through a coupling shaft.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of active rollers distributed at equal intervals are rotatably mounted on the outer side of the driving shaft via bearings, and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the interior of a plurality of electromagnetic clutches.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the front side of each active roller is magnetically frictionally connected to an electromagnetic clutch, and the lower end of each electromagnetic clutch is fixedly connected to the upper end of the profile frame through a fixing frame. The electromagnetic clutch uses an existing product model on the market. In actual use, the external structure of the electromagnetic clutch is fixedly connected to the profile frame through the fixing frame, and the internal rotor structure is keyed to the active shaft. When the armature on the electromagnetic clutch is separated from the active roller, the active roller does not rotate. After the armature on the electromagnetic clutch is attracted to the active roller, the active shaft drives the active roller to rotate under the action of the electromagnetic clutch rotor and the armature.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the driven roller is key-connected to a plurality of driven rollers, and the number, distribution position, diameter and length of the driven rollers match the number, distribution position, diameter and length of the active rollers.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the front and rear ends of the driven roller are rotatably connected to an adjustment plate through a seat bearing, and the adjustment plate is slidably installed on the front and rear sides of the profile frame. Each of the adjustment plates is rotatably connected to the end of a screw rod away from the fixed plate.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: a separation component 1, a separation component 2 and a separation component 3 are set to control a single electromagnetic clutch to engage the corresponding active roller and drive the corresponding transmission belt to move, and multiple express packages can be stored in the separation component 3, reducing congestion and achieving single-piece separation of express packages before scanning and identification. Taking a group of six active rollers as an example, only six electromagnetic clutches and one motor are needed to realize the movement of the six active rollers, which greatly saves costs. At the same time, when there is no express delivery, the electromagnetic clutch is not engaged, the corresponding active roller does not move, and the transmission belt does not move, and energy consumption is greatly reduced compared with the traditional structure.

[0014] By setting up a frame to cooperate with separation component 1, separation component 2 and separation component 3, the entire device takes up little space and can be easily applied to the existing fully automated express parcel sorting production line, effectively separating, spacing and intelligently queuing mixed express packages, so that these express packages can be transformed into a "single-line formation" at specified intervals and pass in an orderly manner, and enter various subsequent automated sorting equipment in turn, without the need for manual separation and packaging of individual express items, thus reducing the labor and management costs of express delivery stations.
