Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of automatic sorting, in particular to an automatic weighing and counting sorting hopper. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the current market, the general sorting industry silo is mainly limited to basic storage function, and lacks real-time monitoring capability of the weight of the goods in each silo. If you want to obtain the specific weight information of the goods in each silo, the traditional method is to take out the goods in the silo one by one and re-weigh. This process not only increases the labor cost, because it needs special personnel to perform the weighing operation, but also inevitably causes certain loss of goods, such as wear and tear, omission, etc. during the handling and repositioning of the goods. In addition, this intermittent weighing method can also cause the accumulation of weight data errors, because each weighing can be affected by many external factors, such as the accuracy fluctuation of the weighing device, the difference of the operators, etc., thereby affecting the accuracy of the silo weight information. In order to meet the turnover weighing needs of the goods in the silo, the sorting line often needs to be forced to stop running in order to carry out the weighing operation. This stop-line operation not only interrupts the continuity of the production process, but also reduces the overall production efficiency. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

Figure 3 It can be understood that, Figures 1 to 4
[0017] The automatic weighing and sorting hopper 2 of the present application includes a sorting platform 1, a weighing hopper 3 and at least one sorting hopper 2. The sorting hopper 2 is embedded in the sorting platform 1 and the feed port of the sorting hopper 2 is located on the upper side of the sorting platform 1. The discharge port of the sorting hopper 2 is located on the lower side of the sorting platform 1. The upper side of the weighing hopper 3 is provided with a first opening opposite to the discharge port. First slide rails are provided on both sides of the first opening. A first sliding door 4 is slidingly provided on the first slide rail. The first sliding door 4 is used to close the discharge port and form a temporary storage bin with the sorting hopper 2, and is used to close the first opening and form a main storage bin with the weighing hopper 3. The top of the weighing hopper 3 is also provided with a main storage bin weighing module 6 for detecting the weight of the goods in the main storage bin. The upper side of the weighing hopper 3 is also provided with a first fixed frame 8 vertically connected to the first slide rail. The first fixed frame 8 is connected to the first fixed frame 8 by a first cylinder push rod 7. The first cylinder push rod 7 is used to drive the first fixed frame 8. A second opening is provided on the lower side of the weighing hopper 3, and second slide rails are provided on both sides of the second opening. A second sliding door 5 is slidably provided on the second slide rails. A second fixed frame 10 vertically connected to the second slide rails is also provided on the lower side of the weighing hopper 3. The second fixed frame 10 is connected to the second fixed frame 10 through a second cylinder push rod 9, and the second cylinder push rod 9 is used to drive the second fixed frame 10.
[0018] When the main branch line operates smoothly, workers or automated robots on the sorting line accurately select the required items according to instructions and place them accurately into the sorting hopper 2. These items then fall smoothly into the main storage silo, ready for subsequent weighing and sorting.
[0019] The main storage silo monitors cargo weight in real time. When the accumulated weight of the cargo reaches a pre-set threshold, the system immediately triggers the temporary storage silo's sliding door to close. The system then checks the temporary storage silo's sliding door's closure status. Once the door is fully closed, the main storage silo initiates its own weight check. During this process, the system waits for a period of time to ensure the cargo's weight remains stable and stable, ensuring the most accurate weighing results.
[0020] Once the weight data stabilizes, the system automatically uploads the information to the monitoring backend. This step is crucial for subsequent data analysis, inventory management, and logistics scheduling. Once the data is uploaded, the main storage silo door opens, allowing the goods to be discharged in an orderly manner.
[0021] To ensure the cleanliness and accuracy of the main storage silo, the system will reset the weight in the silo again after the goods are completely discharged. This step is designed to prevent any residue or garbage from interfering with the next weighing, ensuring the accuracy of each weighing.
[0022] After the zero clearing is completed, the system will start the multi-door closing process of the main storage bin. This action is to prepare for the next round of goods entering and weighing. When the system detects that the multi-door has been completely closed, the multi-door of the temporary storage bin will be opened. At this time, the goods previously sorted out by the main line during the system weighing period will fall into the main storage bin again, starting a new round of cycle weighing process. This goes on and on, and the entire workflow continues at an efficient and accurate pace, ensuring that every aspect of sorting and weighing is rigorous and accurate, laying a solid foundation for subsequent logistics transportation and inventory management.
[0023] In summary, the present application has the following advantages:
[0024] I. Low cost;
[0025] II. Easy and fast installation process;
[0026] III. Real-time monitoring of the sorting weight of each category, improving management efficiency;
[0027] IV. Continuous monitoring without interrupting the production line, ensuring the continuity of production; V. Eliminates the cumbersome process of manual weighing and the corresponding cost, further reducing operating costs.
