Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of terminal equipment sorting, and in particular to sorting trays and sorting devices for conventional and irregularly shaped terminal equipment of operators. Background Technology

[0002] Terminal equipment typically refers to devices such as home broadband sets, enterprise broadband sets, TV set-top boxes, small routers and switches, PTZ cameras, and dome cameras. In daily production and maintenance, a large number of terminal devices need to be identified and sorted.

[0003] Currently, sorting at the terminal equipment is mainly done through sorting devices. General-purpose sorting devices are designed to meet a wide range of sorting needs. To achieve this versatility, these devices typically increase the size of the sorting carrier to accommodate materials of various sizes and shapes. While this approach improves the applicability of the devices to some extent, it also introduces several problems. For example, the increased size of the sorting device means a larger layout area, which is undoubtedly a challenge in production environments with limited space. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to reduce the loosening and displacement of materials during the sorting process without increasing the size of the sorting device, and to make the sorting device more flexible and adaptable, so as to better adapt to various logistics environments and needs, this application provides a sorting tray and sorting device for conventional and irregular terminal equipment of operators.

[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a sorting tray for conventional and irregularly shaped terminal equipment of operators, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A sorting tray for conventional and irregularly shaped terminal equipment of an operator includes a tray body with a discharge end. The tray body is flip-up so that the discharge end faces downward. The inner side of the tray body has a first placement slot and a second placement slot for placing irregularly shaped terminal equipment. The inner side of the tray body also has a third placement slot that connects the first and second placement slots. The third placement slot extends out of the tray body along the direction of the discharge end and is for placing elongated terminal equipment.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, the sorting tray design can effectively adapt to terminal equipment of different types and shapes, accurately match and efficiently sort specific materials, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of sorting operations. Furthermore, the sorting tray can more closely conform to the shape and size of materials, reducing material loosening and displacement during the sorting process, thereby reducing reliance on additional mechanical control, simplifying the system structure, and improving stability and reliability. In addition, the placement slot design allows terminal equipment placed on the tray body to smoothly drop materials when the tray body is tilted, improving sorting smoothness.

[0008] Optionally, the pallet body includes a base plate and an inclined plate connected to one side of the base plate. The discharge end is located on the inclined plate. The first placement groove and the second placement groove are opened in the base plate. The third placement groove extends through the base plate and the inclined plate. When the pallet body is placed horizontally, the inclined plate is tilted upward.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, this design makes the sorting tray more stable when moving with irregularly shaped terminal equipment. When flipping, the tilt angle of the ramp helps to prevent materials from sliding down too fast and causing collisions, thus improving sorting safety.

[0010] Optionally, the openings of the first placement slot, the second placement slot, and the third placement slot are all flared.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the flared slot design makes it easier to insert and remove irregularly shaped terminal equipment, improving operational convenience. At the same time, the flared design helps reduce wear on the slot during insertion or removal, extending its service life. Furthermore, the flared slot increases the contact area, improving the stability of the equipment within the slot and further enhancing sorting accuracy and efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, the pallet body is provided with a baffle on its peripheral side away from the discharge end.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, the baffle design effectively prevents materials from falling off the pallet body due to vibration or collision during transportation, ensuring the safety and stability of the materials. Furthermore, the baffle increases the structural strength of the pallet body, further enhancing the reliability and durability of the sorting process.

[0014] The second aspect of this application provides a sorting device that adopts the following technical solution:

[0015] Optional, including:

[0016] The sorting trays mentioned above are used for both standard and irregularly shaped terminal equipment of operators.

[0017] A tilting sorting machine, wherein the sorting tray is mounted on the tilting sorting machine, and the tilting sorting machine is capable of rotating the sorting tray so that the sorting tray can switch between a horizontal state and an inclined state;

[0018] The conveyor line is used to drive the flipping sorter to move along a set path.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, automatic sorting and transportation of goods have been achieved. This equipment not only improves the efficiency of logistics sorting but also reduces labor costs, making it an indispensable part of the modern logistics system.

[0020] Optionally, the flipping sorting machine includes a walking frame and a magnetic opening and closing component. The pallet body is rotatably connected to the walking frame, and the center of gravity of the pallet body is set close to the discharge end. The magnetic opening and closing component is set between the walking frame and the pallet body on the side away from the discharge end. The magnetic opening and closing component controls the pallet body to switch between a horizontal state and an inclined state by magnetic opening and closing.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic opening and closing mechanism allows the pallet body to smoothly transition between horizontal and tilted states, thereby achieving automatic sorting and delivery of goods. The magnetic opening and closing mechanism controls the pallet body's posture changes through magnetic force, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the sorting process. This design not only simplifies the mechanical structure and reduces the failure rate but also improves the system's reliability and durability. Furthermore, the pallet body's center of gravity is positioned close to the discharge end, further enhancing the pallet's balance in different postures and preventing goods from falling or being damaged during the sorting process.

[0022] Optionally, the conveyor line is a circular conveyor line.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, the design of the circular conveyor line enables the sorting device to achieve continuous cyclical operation within a limited space, greatly improving sorting efficiency and system stability. The circular conveyor line eliminates the need for frequent stops and direction adjustments, reducing mechanical wear and failure rates and extending equipment lifespan. Furthermore, the continuous movement characteristics of the circular conveyor line make the sorting process smoother, further improving sorting accuracy and speed.

[0024] Optionally, the sorting device further includes a buffer structure disposed on the discharge side of the sorting tray. The buffer structure includes a guide pad and a buffer pad, the guide pad being inclined and located between the sorting tray and the buffer pad.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solutions, this design can effectively reduce damage caused by the transfer of terminal equipment during sorting, improving the safety and reliability of sorting. The inclined design of the guide pad helps to smooth the transition, reduce impact force, and further protect the terminal equipment. The buffer pad absorbs the remaining impact energy, ensuring that the terminal equipment has been adequately cushioned before entering the collection box, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

[0026] Optionally, the buffer structure further includes a baffle curtain, which is located above the guide pad and the curtain surface is positioned opposite the discharge end.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle curtain is located above the guide pad, allowing it to contact the terminal equipment first when it falls from the discharge end of the sorting tray. This effectively disperses the impact force and reduces the direct impact on the terminal equipment. Furthermore, the baffle curtain's surface is positioned relative to the discharge end, ensuring a smooth transition for the terminal equipment upon contact, further improving the safety and reliability of the sorting process.

[0028] Optionally, the sorting device may further include a movable collection box, with the cushioning pad located inside the collection box.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable collection box can conveniently collect sorted terminal equipment, improving post-sorting processing efficiency. Meanwhile, the cushioning pad placed inside the collection box further enhances the protection of sorted items, reduces the risk of damage caused by impact, and ensures the safety and integrity of the terminal equipment during the sorting process.

[0030] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. By adopting a customized sorting tray design for both standard and irregularly shaped terminal equipment used by operators, specific materials can be accurately matched and efficiently sorted, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of sorting operations. This customized solution can fully utilize the spatial layout of the sorting tray and the characteristics of the materials, ensuring the stability and smoothness of materials during the sorting process, thereby optimizing the overall logistics flow.

[0032] 2. The application of customized sorting trays for both standard and irregularly shaped terminal equipment of operators can effectively reduce the need for compression systems and other external mechanical control equipment. This is because customized sorting trays can more closely conform to the shape and size of materials, reducing loosening and displacement of materials during the sorting process, thereby reducing reliance on additional mechanical control, simplifying the system structure, and improving stability and reliability.

[0033] 3. Customized sorting trays also help reduce the overall size of the equipment. By optimizing the design of the sorting trays, the material sorting area can be arranged more compactly, reducing space waste. This not only reduces equipment costs but also improves space utilization, making the sorting device more flexible and adaptable, and better able to adapt to various logistics environments and needs.

[0034] 4. The sorting device, through its unique circular and tumbling motion system, achieves automated sorting and conveying of goods. This equipment not only improves the efficiency of logistics sorting but also reduces labor costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0043] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1-6 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of this utility model and not all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art can obtain other embodiments in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort, and these embodiments are also within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] Embodiment 1 of this application provides a sorting tray for conventional and irregularly shaped terminal equipment of operators, referring to... Figure 1 The system includes a tray body 10, which has a discharge end 11. The tray body 10 can be flipped so that the discharge end 11 faces downward. The inner side of the tray body 10 has a first placement slot 12 and a second placement slot 13 for placing irregularly shaped terminal devices. The inner side of the tray body 10 also has a third placement slot 14 that connects the first placement slot 12 and the second placement slot 13. The third placement slot 14 extends out of the tray body 10 along the direction of the discharge end 11 and is used to place flat and elongated terminal devices.

[0046] Preferably, the first placement slot 12 and the second placement slot 13 can be designed in different shapes, such as circular, square, or elliptical, to accommodate different types of irregularly shaped terminal devices. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first placement slot 12 can accommodate the spherical end of the spherical camera. The first placement slot 12 can also hold a cylindrical terminal device. In addition, the cylindrical terminal device can also be placed in the second placement slot 13. Furthermore, for flat and elongated terminal devices (such as broadband boxes), the flat and elongated terminal devices can be inserted into the third placement slot 14, thereby using the first placement slot 12, the second placement slot 13 and the third placement slot 14 to snap and fix terminal devices of different shapes.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 Furthermore, the pallet body 10 can also have a fourth placement slot 15 that communicates with the first placement slot 12 or the second placement slot 13, which can be used to snap and fix terminal equipment of other shapes. This can effectively adapt to terminal equipment of different types and shapes, accurately match and efficiently sort specific materials, and significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of sorting operations.

[0048] Preferably, the openings of the first placement slot 12, the second placement slot 13, and the third placement slot 14 are all flared to facilitate the placement and removal of the terminal equipment.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 The pallet body 10 includes a base plate 101 and an inclined plate 102 connected to one side of the base plate 101. The discharge end 11 is located on the inclined plate 102. The first placement groove 12 and the second placement groove 13 are opened in the base plate 101. The third placement groove 14 extends through the base plate 101 and the inclined plate 102. When the pallet body 10 is placed horizontally, the inclined plate 102 is inclined upward.

[0050] The base plate 101 can be made of high-strength plastic or aluminum alloy to ensure sufficient strength and durability. The aluminum alloy pallet body 10 is relatively lightweight, suitable for rapid sorting, while the plastic pallet body 10 offers better impact resistance and abrasion resistance. The thickness of the base plate 101 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0051] The ramp 102 can be designed as a flat or curved shape to accommodate materials of different shapes. A flat ramp 102 can better guide the material to slide out. The design of the ramp 102 makes the sorting tray more stable when moving with irregularly shaped terminal equipment. When flipping, the tilt angle of the ramp 102 helps to prevent the material from sliding down too fast and hitting the material, thus improving sorting safety.

[0052] In addition, a baffle 16 is provided on the periphery of the pallet body 10 away from the discharge end 11 to prevent materials from slipping during sorting and movement. The height of the baffle 16 can be adjusted according to the maximum height of the materials, generally between 2-5cm, to ensure that the materials do not exceed the range of the pallet body 10 during sorting and movement.

[0053] Therefore, this application, by adopting a customized sorting tray design, can accurately match and efficiently sort specific materials, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of sorting operations. This customized solution can fully utilize the spatial layout of the sorting tray and the characteristics of the materials, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the materials during the sorting process, thereby optimizing the overall logistics flow.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 above is that: (Refer to...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 This embodiment provides a sorting device, including the sorting tray, the flip sorter 20 and the conveyor line 30 described above. The sorting tray is mounted on the flip sorter 20, which can drive the sorting tray to flip so that it can change between a horizontal state and an inclined state. The conveyor line 30 is used to drive the flip sorter 20 to move along a set path.

[0056] The flipping sorting machine 20 includes a walking frame 21 and a magnetic opening and closing component 22. The pallet body 10 is rotatably connected to the walking frame 21. The center of gravity of the pallet body 10 is located close to the discharge end 11. The magnetic opening and closing component 22 is located between the walking frame 21 and the side of the pallet body 10 away from the discharge end 11. The magnetic opening and closing component 22 controls the pallet body 10 to switch between a horizontal state and an inclined state by magnetic opening and closing.

[0057] Specifically, the magnetic opening and closing component 22 can use a 24V electromagnet or other types of electromagnetic components to achieve precise control of the pallet body 10. The 24V electromagnet has high reliability and a long service life, making it suitable for frequent sorting operations. Other types of electromagnetic components, such as permanent magnets or electric motors, can also be selected according to actual needs to achieve different control effects.

[0058] The conveyor line 30 is a circular conveyor line, ensuring continuous sorting operations for the sorting trays. In one embodiment, the conveyor line 30 includes a track and a drive device disposed between the track and the traveling frame 21. The drive device includes a drive motor and a friction wheel. The friction wheel is fixed to the output end of the drive motor and mounted on the traveling frame 21, abutting against the track. The drive motor, as a power source, drives the friction wheel to rotate through the power generated by its rotation. The friction wheel and the traveling frame 21 are transmitted through friction. When the friction wheel rotates, it drives the traveling frame 21 to rotate in a circular motion along the set track. At the same time, the traveling frame 21 is equipped with a support structure for the traveling wheels and limit wheels. These wheels ensure the smooth operation of the traveling frame 21 on the track and prevent it from deviating from the track.

[0059] Optionally, the drive unit can be a 2.2KW external three-phase asynchronous motor for friction drive (friction wheel travel life up to 100,000 kilometers), or a 3.5KW linear motor for contactless drive. In other embodiments, the conveyor line 30 can also be a chain conveyor line or a plate conveyor line, etc.

[0060] By organically combining the walking frame 21 and the magnetic opening and closing component 22, precise control of the pallet body 10 can be achieved, ensuring the accuracy and stability of sorting. When the sorting tray receives a sorting instruction, the magnetic opening and closing component 22 will be quickly de-energized, and the pallet body 10 will flip along a predetermined path under the action of gravity, sending the material into the designated compartment.

[0061] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to collect the material at the sorting point, the sorting device also includes a buffer structure 40 set on the discharge side of the sorting tray. The buffer structure 40 includes a guide pad 41 and a buffer pad 42. The guide pad 41 is set at an angle and is located between the sorting tray and the buffer pad 42.

[0062] Specifically, the guide pad 41 can be made of rubber or polyurethane to provide good wear resistance and elasticity. Rubber guide pads 41 offer better elasticity and wear resistance, making them suitable for long-term use, while polyurethane guide pads 41 offer better impact resistance and aging resistance. The tilt angle of the guide pad 41 can be adjusted according to actual sorting needs, generally between 10° and 20°, to ensure that materials slide smoothly out under gravity.

[0063] The cushioning pad 42 can be an inflatable pad, sponge, or foam to provide good cushioning. The thickness of the cushioning pad 42 can be adjusted according to actual sorting needs, generally between 5-10 cm, to ensure that the materials are not damaged when falling into the collection box 50.

[0064] The sorting device also includes a movable collection box 50, with a cushioning pad 42 located inside the collection box 50. The collection box 50 can be made of plastic, which offers better lightweight properties and corrosion resistance. The size of the collection box 50 can be adjusted according to actual sorting needs to accommodate sorting lines of different sizes.

[0065] The buffer structure 40 may also include a curtain 43, which is located above the guide pad 41 and with its surface facing the discharge end 11. The curtain 43 may be made of PVC or PE material to provide good protection.

[0066] By organically combining the guide pad 41 and the buffer pad 42, a smooth transition and cushioning protection for the materials can be achieved, ensuring that the materials are not damaged during the sorting process. When the materials slide out of the sorting tray, the guide pad 41 can guide the materials to slide along a predetermined path, reducing the impact force, while the buffer pad 42 can absorb most of the impact energy, protecting the materials from damage. The setting of the curtain 43 can further improve the cushioning effect, ensuring that the materials fall more smoothly into the collection box 50.

[0067] By integrating the buffer structure 40 into the sorting device, the safety and reliability of sorting can be significantly improved, reducing the risk of material damage during the sorting process. The design of the buffer structure 40 effectively absorbs impact energy, reducing the impact force when the material slides out of the sorting tray, ensuring a smoother entry of the material into the collection box 50. Furthermore, the movable collection box 50 allows for convenient transport of sorted materials to the next process, improving overall sorting efficiency.

[0068] The implementation principle of this embodiment 2 is as follows:

[0069] By employing customized sorting trays and a buffer structure 40, various irregularly shaped terminal devices can be sorted efficiently and accurately, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of sorting operations. This design not only fully utilizes the spatial layout of the trays and the characteristics of the materials, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the materials during the sorting process, but also reduces the risk of damage to the materials during sorting through the smooth transition and buffer protection of the buffer structure 40, thereby improving the safety and reliability of sorting. In addition, the movable collection box 50 can easily transport the sorted materials to the next process, improving overall sorting efficiency and making the sorting equipment more flexible and adaptable, better able to adapt to various logistics environments and needs.

[0070] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
