Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-speed balance wheel technology in logistics, and in particular to a modular quick-connect structure for use in high-speed balance wheels. Background Art
[0002] Wheel sorting machines, also known as guide wheel sorting, roller sorting, or inclined wheel sorting, are increasingly used in logistics sorting. They utilize conveyor rollers that can be adjusted to different angles to automatically sort and divide goods according to region, courier company, customer channel, etc., based on commands issued by the front-end management system.
[0003] The swing wheel sorting machine mainly consists of electric rollers, a synchronous steering controller, a transmission device, and a frame. During operation, based on the instructions and information recognition issued by the management system, the steering controller changes the running direction of the electric rollers, thereby enabling the sorting of goods on the left and right sides and transferring the goods to the diversion conveyor. It can be used for product diversion, merging, alignment, rotation, separation conveying, interval control conveying, and side conveying, etc. It has powerful functions and has been widely used in logistics sorting operations.
[0004] After prolonged use, the electric rollers mounted on the frame of the swing wheel sorting machine are prone to damage. When a roller is damaged, it cannot be replaced quickly. The entire frame of the swing wheel sorting machine must be disassembled to replace the damaged roller. After replacement, the frame must be reassembled. This method not only increases the workload of maintenance personnel but also reduces the efficiency of roller replacement, causing considerable inconvenience to the replacement of damaged rollers.
