Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of item sorting technology, specifically to a device for sorting items. Background Technology

[0002] Sorting is the process of categorizing and stacking goods according to their type and the order in which they enter and leave the warehouse. Sorting is a preparatory step for improving and supporting delivery, and it's an inevitable extension of competition and efficiency for different delivery companies. Therefore, it can be said that sorting is a necessary requirement for the development of advanced delivery methods. The function of a sorting device is to change the direction of travel on the conveyor belt and allow goods with the same sorting signal to enter other conveyors or sorting lanes, based on sorting instructions from the control device. There are many types of sorting devices, generally including push-out, floating, tilting, and branching types. Different devices have slightly different requirements regarding the packaging materials, weight, and smoothness of the packaging surface.

[0003] Currently, before fine sorting, items generally need to be sorted by size. During the operation, sorters move items to different conveyor devices according to their size, and the conveyor devices push them to different areas for fine sorting. However, the initial sorting based on size is done manually by sorters, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, we propose a device for sorting items. Utility Model Content

The output rod of the electric telescopic rod is slidably connected to the top end of the support frame, and a lifting plate is fixedly connected to the top end. One end of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to the lifting shaft, and the other end is rotatably connected to the swing shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the outer surface of the lifting shaft is provided with circumferentially spaced sliding grooves, which helps to make the lifting shaft more stable when it moves up and down in the first fixed seat.

[0010] Preferably, a vertical plate is fixedly connected to the baffle plate, which facilitates the smooth pushing of larger items to the diversion channel and makes it easier to push the items onto the diversion rack.

[0011] Preferably, the electric telescopic rod is located in the middle section below the lifting plate, which helps to make the overall operation more stable when the electric telescopic rod drives the lifting plate to rise and fall.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for sorting items, including a conveyor frame 1, a diversion groove 2 on the conveyor frame 1, and a diversion frame 3 installed and connected to the conveyor frame 1 at the diversion groove 2; it also includes a sorting component 4, which is disposed on the conveyor frame 1 and connected to the diversion frame 3, and includes a first fixed seat 5 fixed to the conveyor frame 1 and away from the diversion frame 3, a second fixed seat 6 fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor frame 1 away from the first fixed seat 5, the second fixed seat 6 being fixedly connected to the diversion frame 3, a fixed frame 7 disposed on the first fixed seat 5, and a lifting shaft 8 slidably connected to the first fixed seat 5 fixedly connected below the fixed frame 7, and a lifting shaft 8 fixedly connected to the second fixed seat 6. A swing frame 9 is provided, and a fixed frame 7 is adapted to the swing frame 9. The fixed frame 7 is used to limit the rotation angle of the swing frame 9. The rotation distance of the swing frame 9 is limited to the diversion channel 2 and the fixed frame 7. A baffle plate 10 for intercepting items is fixedly connected to the swing frame 9. An adjustment component 11 is set below the conveyor frame 1 and connected to the sorting component 4. In order to make the lifting shaft 8 more stable when it is raised and lowered in the first fixed seat 5, a sliding groove 24 is opened circumferentially at equal intervals on the outer surface of the lifting shaft 8. In addition, in order to smoothly push larger items to the diversion channel 2, a vertical plate 25 is fixedly connected to the baffle plate 10 to facilitate pushing the items onto the diversion frame 3.

[0024] The sorting assembly 4 includes a swing shaft 12 disposed below and fixedly connected to the swing frame 9. The swing shaft 12 is movably connected to the second fixed seat 6. The swing shaft 12 has a rectangular groove 13, and a rectangular shaft 14 is slidably connected through the rectangular groove 13. A power mechanism 15 connected to the conveyor frame 1 is disposed below the rectangular shaft 14. The power mechanism 15 includes multiple sets of fixed plates 16 disposed below and fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 1. A support frame 17 is fixedly connected above the multiple sets of fixed plates 16. A motor 18 is fixedly connected to the support frame 17. A power shaft 19 rotatably connected to the output end of the motor 18 is fixedly connected to the support frame 17. A first gear 20 is fixedly connected to the top end of the power shaft 19. The first gear 20 meshes with a second gear 21 fixedly connected to the rectangular shaft 14.

[0025] The adjustment assembly 11 includes an electric telescopic rod 22 mounted on and fixedly connected to the support frame 17. The output rod of the electric telescopic rod 22 is slidably connected to the top of the support frame 17, and a lifting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the top. One end of the lifting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the lifting shaft 8, and the other end is rotatably connected to the swing shaft 12. In order to ensure that the two ends of the lifting plate 23 are at the same horizontal height when the electric telescopic rod 22 drives the lifting plate 23 to rise and fall, thereby making the overall operation more stable, the electric telescopic rod 22 is located in the middle section below the lifting plate 23.

[0026] Items requiring volume sorting are placed on conveyor rack 1. Conveyor rack 1 transports the items sequentially. The height of the baffle plate 10 determines the size of the items to be sorted. Smaller items pass directly under the baffle plate 10 on conveyor rack 1 and proceed to the next sorting stage. When a larger item reaches the baffle plate 10, the baffle plate 10 blocks it, temporarily stopping conveyor rack 1. The motor 18 on support frame 17 then operates, driving the power shaft 19 to rotate via its output. The first gear 20 on the power shaft 19 then rotates, and the second gear 20... The meshing connection between the first gear 20 and the second gear 21 causes the second gear 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the rectangular shaft 14 to rotate. The rectangular shaft 14, through its engagement with the rectangular slot 13, further drives the swing shaft 12 to rotate. The swing shaft 12 then drives the swing frame 9 at the top to rotate. The swing frame 9 then rotates towards the diversion channel 2, and through the baffle plate 10 and with the cooperation of the vertical plate 25, pushes larger items, allowing them to pass through the diversion channel 2 into the diversion frame 3, and then into the large item half-area through the diversion frame 3.

[0027] When it is necessary to control the height of the sorted items, the electric telescopic rod 22 on the control support frame 17 is operated. Its output rod extends and retracts, driving the lifting plate 23 fixedly connected to the top to rise and fall, thereby controlling the height of the lifting plate 23. When the lifting plate 23 rises and falls, it simultaneously drives the lifting shaft 8 and swing shaft 12 at both ends to rise and fall, which in turn drives the fixed frame 7 and swing frame 9 to rise and fall. At this time, the distance from the bottom of the blocking plate 10 to the conveyor frame 1 is adjusted, thereby controlling the height of the sorted items. It is worth noting that when the lifting plate 23 drives the swing shaft 12 to rise and fall, the swing shaft 12 rises and falls on the rectangular shaft 14 through the rectangular groove 13, which does not affect the rectangular shaft 14 driving the swing shaft 12 to rotate. By pre-setting the sorting height of the items, automatic sorting during the item conveying process is realized, saving manpower.
