Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of supply chain goods transportation technology, specifically, it relates to a positioning device for supply chain goods transportation. Background Technology

[0002] A supply chain is a network structure formed by upstream and downstream enterprises involved in the production and distribution process, which delivers products or services to end users. It is the entire chain from the merchant to the consumer. The industrial chain and supply chain are the lifeblood of the industrial economy, and their stability and smooth operation are crucial to the smooth operation of the industrial economy.

[0003] A search revealed a document with publication number (CN221739075U) disclosing a positioning device for a logistics supply chain; it includes a support frame, a conveying module, a cleaning module, and a positioning scanning device; a controller is installed on the support frame, and a pair of infrared detectors are arranged side by side on both sides of the inner bottom of the support frame; the conveying module is fixedly installed on the support frame; the cleaning module is located below the conveying module, and the cleaning module includes a lifting device and a cleaning device, the lifting device is fixedly installed on the support frame, the cleaning device is fixedly installed on top of the lifting device, and the output end of the cleaning device abuts against the bottom of the conveying module; the positioning scanning device is slidably installed on the top of the support frame.

[0004] The aforementioned device controls the delivery module via a controller, enabling the delivery module to transport medicines. During the delivery process, a positioning scanner can be used to scan the location of the medicines. When the delivery module becomes too dirty, an infrared detector sends a signal to the controller, which then controls the lifting device to move the cleaning device toward one side of the delivery module until the top of the cleaning device comes into contact with the bottom of the delivery module. The cleaning device cleans the delivery module, preventing contamination of the medicines due to excessive dirt on the surface of the delivery module.

[0005] In actual use, the above-mentioned device cleans the conveyed items through integrated detection devices. However, in actual operation, the items are placed uniformly on the conveyor belt, causing the items to accumulate on the conveyor belt.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5A positioning device for conveying goods in a supply chain includes a base 1, on which a conveyor belt 11 is mounted. The conveyor belt 11 is existing technology, therefore its detailed structure is not described here. The conveyor belt 11 is fixedly connected to the base 1. An anti-backflow component is disposed between the base 1 and the conveyor belt 11 to restrict the backflow of goods. A partitioning component is also disposed between the base 1 and the conveyor belt 11 to partition the goods for transport. The partitioning component includes movable blocks 2 and a transmission belt 23. The movable blocks 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 11 and rotatably connected to the base 1. The movable blocks 2 are arrayed on the transmission belt 23 and connected to the transmission belt 23 by fasteners, including but not limited to bolts. Through the cooperation of components such as a bidirectional motor 21, the transmission belt 23, and abutment wheels 25, the goods are transported in partitions, thereby reducing the transport burden on the conveyor belt 11 and improving work efficiency.

[0029] The partitioning component also includes a bidirectional motor 21, which is mounted on the base 1 and fixedly connected to the movable block 2. The output shafts at both ends of the bidirectional motor 21 are respectively connected to corresponding transmission belts 23. The output shafts of the bidirectional motor 21 are connected to the transmission belts 23 via belts. The partitioning component also includes limiting rods 24, which are arrayed on the transmission belts 23 and connected to the transmission belts 23 via fasteners, including but not limited to bolts. The movable block 2 is elastically connected to the limiting rods 24, and a spring is fitted on the limiting rods 24. One end of the spring abuts against the transmission belt 23, and the other end is fixedly connected to the movable block 2. The movable block 2 is slidably connected to the limiting rods 24. An abutting wheel 25 is provided on the movable block 2, and the abutting wheel 25 is rotatably connected to the movable block 2. The abutting wheel 25 is made of silicon. Made of rubber, the transmission belt 23 has a rotatable connection to a transmission rod 22 at its corner. The transmission rod 22 is rotatably connected to the movable block 2 and engages with the transmission belt 23. The transmission rod 22 also engages with the belt on the bidirectional motor 21. The output shafts at both ends of the bidirectional motor 21 drive the transmission rod 22 to rotate via the belt. The transmission rod 22 drives the transmission belt 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the limiting rod 24 and the abutment wheel 25 to rotate. Through continuous rotation, multiple areas are formed between the limiting rods 24. When the abutment wheel 25 contacts the item, it pushes the movable block 2 inward. The movable block 2 compresses the spring, and the spring, under compression, generates a force opposite to that of the movable block 2, making the abutment wheel 25 in close contact with the item and confining the item between the abutment wheels 25 for transportation. This avoids the need for manual separation when items are piled up in one place, reducing subsequent operation steps.

[0030] It is worth noting that the bidirectional motor 21 is an existing mature technology, which has been disclosed in the existing bidirectional linear motor CN200410022279.X, and will not be elaborated here.

[0031] The anti-backflow component includes baffles 3, which are symmetrically arranged between the base 1 and the conveyor belt 11. The baffles 3 are elastically connected to the base 1. The anti-backflow component also includes baffles 3, which are symmetrically arranged on the base 1 and fixedly connected to the base 1. The baffles 3 are rotatably connected to the bracket 31. A torsion spring is installed between the baffles 3 and the bracket 31. When an item pushes the baffles 3 on both sides, the baffles 3 rotate to one end and squeeze the torsion spring. The torsion spring is squeezed and deformed, generating a force opposite to that of the baffles 3. The baffles 3 are pushed by the torsion spring to close again. After closing, the baffles 3 form a triangle. Items at one end of the baffles 3 are blocked from entering, preventing excessive accumulation of items on the conveyor belt 11 and causing backflow.

[0032] Working principle: When an item is placed on the conveyor belt 11, the conveyor belt 11 moves the item, pushing the baffles 3 on both sides. The baffles 3 rotate to one end and compress the torsion spring. The torsion spring is deformed by the compression and generates a force opposite to that of the baffle 3. The baffle 3 is pushed by the torsion spring to close again. After closing, the baffle 3 forms a triangular shape, blocking the item at one end of the baffle 3 and preventing the item from accumulating too much on the conveyor belt 11 and causing backflow. At this time, the output shafts at both ends of the bidirectional motor 21 drive the transmission rod 22 to rotate via the belt. The transmission rod 22 drives the transmission belt 23 to rotate, and the transmission belt 23 drives the limit rod 24 and the abutment wheel 25 to rotate. Through continuous rotation, multiple areas are formed between the limit rods 24. When the abutment wheel 25 contacts the item, it pushes the movable block 2 inward. The movable block 2 compresses the spring, and the spring is compressed and generates a force opposite to that of the movable block 2, making the abutment wheel 25 in close contact with the item and restricting the item between the abutment wheels 25 for transportation. This avoids the need for manual separation of items when they are excessively piled up in one place, reducing subsequent operation steps.
