Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sorting platforms, and in particular to a sorting platform for supply chain. Background Art

[0002] Sorting is the process of sorting and stacking items by type and order of arrival and departure. Sorting is a preparatory process to improve and support delivery, and is a necessary extension of the competition and economic efficiency of delivery companies. Therefore, it can be said that sorting is an inevitable requirement for the development of advanced delivery methods. Supermarket items need to be sorted upon arrival.

[0003] However, the existing sorting platform is set up with a single conveyor belt during the sorting process, resulting in low sorting efficiency. This is mainly because there are too many items on the single conveyor belt, which makes it inconvenient to quickly complete the sorting of the items. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve the low sorting efficiency problem of existing supermarket sorting platforms, the present application provides a sorting platform for supply chain.

[0005] The present application provides a sorting platform for a supply chain, comprising a first conveying assembly, two second conveying assemblies that are staggered and connected to the first conveying assembly, and two sorting mechanisms installed on the first conveying assembly.

The setting of the sorting mechanism facilitates the sorting of the goods on the first conveying component to the second conveying component, and the sorting box in the sorting mechanism facilitates driving the sorting plate to sort the goods.

[0007] The sorting assembly includes a driving seat, and a rectangular opening for slidingly mounting the driving seat is opened on one side outer wall of the sorting box, and one end of the driving seat is fixedly connected to the sorting plate.

[0008] By adopting the above structure, the driving seat can be conveniently slidably installed through the rectangular opening on the sorting box, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the sorting plate.

[0009] A rack is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the driving seat, a gear 1 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the sorting box, and the gear 1 and the rack are engaged with each other. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the sorting box, and the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the gear 1. A driving assembly connected to the gear 1 is installed on the inner wall of one side of the sorting box.

[0010] By adopting the above structure, the servo motor is started to drive the gear to rotate, and the rotation of the gear directly drives the rack to move. The rack is installed on the driving seat, which makes it convenient to drive the sorting plate to move through the driving seat.

[0011] The sorting assembly further comprises two mounting rods fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sorting box, and the outer walls of the two mounting rods are sleeved with springs 1, and the driving seat is slidably connected to the two mounting rods.

[0012] By adopting the above structure, the setting of the mounting rod is convenient for limiting the sliding track of the driving seat, the setting of the spring 1 is convenient for supporting the driving seat, and the spring 1 is convenient for compressing the driving seat when it moves.

[0013] The driving assembly includes a driving box fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sorting box, and a gear 2 connected to the gear 1 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the driving box.

[0014] By adopting the above structure, the gear 2 and the gear 1 in the drive box are connected, so that the rotation of the gear 2 can be conveniently controlled to limit the rotation of the gear 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the drive seat.

[0016] By adopting the above structure, the sliding trajectory of the limit rack is conveniently limited by the setting of the fixed rod. When the limit rack is away from the gear 2, the spring 2 can be compressed. When the limit rack and the gear 2 are engaged, the rotation of the gear 2 is conveniently limited, thereby ensuring the stability of the sorting plate and preventing it from shaking.

[0017] An electromagnet is fixedly connected to an inner wall of one side of the driving box, and an armature matching the electromagnet is fixedly connected to an outer wall of one side of the limiting rack.

[0018] By adopting the above structure, the electromagnet is energized to generate magnetism, thereby attracting the armature to move toward the electromagnet. When the armature moves, it directly drives the limit rack away from the second gear.

[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0031] See also Figure 1-3The application discloses a sorting platform for a supply chain, which comprises a first conveying assembly 1, two second conveying assemblies 2 which are staggered with each other and connected with the first conveying assembly 1, and two sorting mechanisms 3 which are installed on the first conveying assembly 1. The first conveying assembly 1 is arranged to facilitate conveying of goods which are stored in a supermarket. The two second conveying assemblies 2 which are staggered with each other are arranged to facilitate conveying of the goods which are sorted. The sorting mechanism 3 is arranged to facilitate pushing the goods on the first conveying assembly 1 to the second conveying assembly 2. The sorting mechanism 3 comprises a sorting box 7, and a sorting plate 8 is arranged on one side of the outer wall of the sorting box 7. A sorting assembly 9 which drives the sorting plate 8 to move is arranged on the inner wall of the sorting box 7. The sorting assembly 9 is arranged to facilitate directly driving the sorting plate 8 to move, thereby facilitating sorting of the goods to the second conveying assembly 2.

[0032] In use, the goods which are stored in a supermarket are conveyed by the first conveying assembly 1. The two second conveying assemblies 2 convey the sorted goods. The sorting mechanism 3 is arranged to facilitate sorting of the goods on the first conveying assembly 1 to the second conveying assembly 2. The sorting box 7 in the sorting mechanism 3 facilitates driving the sorting plate 8 to sort the goods.

[0033] With reference to Figure 2-3 The sorting assembly 9 comprises a driving seat 10. A rectangular opening for slidingly installing the driving seat 10 is formed in one side of the outer wall of the sorting box 7. The rectangular opening in the sorting box 7 facilitates slidingly installing the driving seat 10. One end of the driving seat 10 is fixedly connected to the sorting plate 8. The movement of the driving seat 10 facilitates driving the sorting plate 8 to move. The sorting plate 8 is arranged to facilitate directly sorting the goods when the sorting plate 8 moves. The rectangular opening in the sorting box 7 facilitates slidingly installing the driving seat 10, thereby facilitating adjusting the position of the sorting plate 8.

[0034] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4, the outer wall of the bottom of the driving seat 10 is fixedly connected with a rack 13, and the inner wall of the bottom of the sorting box 7 is rotatably installed with a gear 15, and the gear 15 and the rack 13 are meshed with each other. When the gear 15 rotates, it is convenient to directly drive the rack 13 to move. When the rack 13 moves, it directly drives the driving seat 10 to move. The movement of the driving seat 10 is convenient to directly drive the sorting plate 8 to move. The inner wall of the bottom of the sorting box 7 is fixedly connected with a servo motor 14, and the output shaft of the servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to the gear 15. The setting of the servo motor 14 is convenient for directly driving the gear 15 to rotate. The servo motor 14 can control the speed and position accuracy very accurately. It can convert the voltage signal into torque and speed to drive the control object. The servo motor 14 The rotor speed is controlled by the input signal and can respond quickly. In the automatic control system, it is used as an actuator and has the characteristics of small electromechanical time constant and high linearity. It can convert the received electrical signal into angular displacement or angular velocity output on the motor shaft. It is divided into two categories: DC and AC servo motors. Its main characteristics are that there is no self-rotation when the signal voltage is zero, and the speed decreases uniformly with the increase of torque. A drive component 16 connected to the gear 15 is installed on the inner wall of one side of the sorting box 7. The servo motor 14 is started to drive the gear 15 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 15 directly drives the rack 13 to move. The rack 13 is installed on the drive seat 10, which makes it convenient to drive the sorting plate 8 to move through the drive seat 10.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 The sorting assembly 9 also includes two mounting rods 11 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sorting box 7. The two mounting rods 11 are symmetrically mounted on the inner wall of the sorting box 7, and the outer walls of the two mounting rods 11 are sleeved with a spring 12. The spring 12 is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting rod 11. The driving seat 10 is slidably connected to the two mounting rods 11. The setting of the mounting rods 11 ensures the stable sliding of the driving seat 10, thereby preventing the driving seat 10 from offsetting when sliding and causing the sorting plate 8 to shake, which makes it impossible to accurately push the goods to the conveying assembly. The setting of the mounting rods 11 is convenient for limiting the sliding trajectory of the driving seat 10. The setting of the spring 12 is convenient for supporting the driving seat 10, and it is convenient to compress the spring 12 when the driving seat 10 moves.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The drive assembly 16 includes a drive box 17 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sorting box 7. The arrangement of the drive box 17 facilitates the installation of the drive assembly 16 in the sorting box 7, and the inner wall of one side of the drive box 17 is rotatably connected to a gear 2 18 connected to the gear 1 15. The gear 2 18 and the gear 1 15 rotate coaxially, thereby conveniently limiting the rotation of the gear 2 18 to ensure the stability of the gear 15. The conveyor belt 5 vibrates greatly on the conveying seat 4 during operation. The stability of the rack 13 is ensured by limiting the rotation of the gear 15, thereby preventing the sorting plate 8 from shaking when the conveying seat 4 vibrates and affecting the sorting of goods on the conveyor belt 5. The gear 2 18 in the drive box 17 is connected to the gear 1 15, thereby conveniently controlling the rotation of the gear 2 18 to limit the rotation of the gear 15, thereby ensuring the stability of the drive seat 10.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 The second spring 21 is sleeved on the outer wall of the two fixing rods 20, and the installation of the spring 21 is convenient through the setting of the fixing rod 20. The outer walls of the two fixing rods 20 are slidably connected with the same limit rack 19 that meshes with the gear 2 18. The setting of the spring 21 facilitates the pushing of the limit rack 19 to always mesh with the gear 2 18. The setting of the fixing rod 20 ensures the stable sliding of the limit rack 19, avoiding the deviation of the limit rack 19 and causing it to be unable to mesh with the gear 2 18. At the same time, it reduces the wear of the limit rack 19 and improves the service life of the limit rack 19. The setting of the fixing rod 20 facilitates limiting the sliding trajectory of the limit rack 19. When the limit rack 19 is away from the gear 2 18, the spring 21 can be compressed. When the limit rack 19 is meshed with the gear 2 18, the rotation of the gear 2 18 is conveniently limited, thereby ensuring the stability of the sorting plate 8 and avoiding it from shaking.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 An electromagnet 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the drive box 17. When the iron core is inserted into the energized solenoid, the iron core is magnetized by the magnetic field of the energized solenoid, and the magnetized iron core also becomes a magnet. In this way, due to the superposition of the two magnetic fields, the magnetism of the solenoid is greatly enhanced. In order to make the magnetism of the electromagnet stronger, the iron core is usually made into a horseshoe shape, but it should be noted that the winding direction of the coil on the horseshoe-shaped iron core is opposite, one side is clockwise and the other side must be counterclockwise. An armature 23 matching the electromagnet 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the limit rack 19. Magnetism is generated by energizing the electromagnet 22, which then attracts the armature 23 to move toward the electromagnet 22. When the armature 23 moves, it directly drives the limit rack 19 away from gear 2 18.

[0039] Reference Figure 1The first conveying assembly 1 and the second conveying assembly 2 have the same structure, and the first conveying assembly 1 includes a conveying seat 4, and a conveyor belt 5 is rotatably installed on the top outer wall of the conveying seat 4. A detection frame 6 is fixedly connected to the conveying seat 4 in the first conveying assembly 1. The conveyor belt 5 on the conveying seat 4 is used to facilitate the transportation of goods in the supermarket. The setting of the detection frame 6 facilitates the installation of the goods identifier.

[0040] The implementation principle of the present application is as follows: when in use, supermarket items are placed on the first conveying assembly 1 for conveying, and then the two sorting mechanisms 3 are started to sort the items according to the detection results of the detector on the detection frame 6. During sorting, the servo motor 14 is started, directly driving the gear 15 to rotate, and when the gear 15 rotates, it directly drives the rack 13 to move. When the rack 13 moves, it directly pushes the sorting plate 8 to extend through the driving seat 10. The sorting plate 8 extends and directly pushes the items on the conveyor belt 5 onto the second conveying assembly 2. When the driving seat 10 moves, it directly presses the spring 12 After the sorting is completed, the servo motor 14 drives the gear 15 to reverse, thereby driving the sorting plate 8 to return to its original position. When the servo motor 14 is started, the electromagnet 22 is energized to generate magnetism, which directly attracts the armature 23 to move toward the electromagnet 22. When the armature 23 moves, it directly pulls the limit rack 19 away from the gear 2 18. When the limit rack 19 moves away from the gear 2 18, the spring 21 on the fixed rod 20 can be compressed. When the servo motor 14 stops, the electromagnet 22 is de-energized at the same time, and then the limit rack 19 and the gear 2 18 are pushed to engage through the spring 2 21.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
