Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of logistics sorting and relates to a split-type multi-directional logistics sorting system with a transmission belt. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the manufacturing industry, the automation level of equipment production lines is increasing, the volume of products and parts is increasing significantly, and transportation routes are becoming more complex and diversified. This has led to a sharp rise in the demand for efficient transfer of goods between different transportation lines. Currently, handling the complex task of multi-directional logistics sorting mainly relies on a technical solution combining belt drives and rotating units. This solution achieves directional changes in logistics transmission through the overall rotation of the conveyor unit nodes.
[0003] However, this technical solution has limitations. When goods arrive at the turning point, the conveyor unit needs to rotate as a whole to complete the turn and continue transporting the goods. Therefore, during the turning process, each rotation of the conveyor unit can usually only achieve a single, specific directional change. When goods frequently change direction on the transport line, this limitation significantly restricts the overall transport efficiency of the production line. Because the rotation operation at the intersection restricts the flexible turning of goods, the smoothness and efficiency of the entire production line are affected. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention is a split-type multi-directional logistics sorting system, including a sorting device assembly 6, an automatic identification system 7 used in conjunction with the sorting device assembly 6, and a logistics feeding transmission unit 1, a first logistics outlet 3, a second logistics outlet 4, and a third logistics outlet 5 respectively arranged around the sorting device assembly 6.
[0026] The automatic identification system 7 includes a camera, a camera bracket, and a data processing unit. The camera is mounted above the sorting device assembly via the camera bracket to capture image information of the logistics. The data processing unit is connected to the camera to process the image information, identify the type of logistics, and transmit the identification result to the control circuit to control the movement of the sorting device assembly.
[0027] The sorting device assembly includes an overall support frame 8, a control circuit 9, a belt sliding metal strip device 10, a belt drive unit 11, and a chain drive unit 12. The overall support frame 8 is connected to the belt drive unit 11 and the chain drive unit 12 by bolts, and the control circuit 9 is mounted on the motor mount of the belt drive unit 11.
[0028] The overall support frame 8 includes four transverse beams and four longitudinal beams, which are connected by bolts to form a stable frame structure, providing support for the assembly components of the sorting device.
[0029] In operation, the automatic identification system 7 transmits a judgment signal to the control circuit 9 based on the color and shape characteristics of different feed materials 2. The split-drive belt-type multi-directional material sorting device 6 achieves independent movement of the belt drive unit 11 and the chain drive unit 12 by independently controlling the speed of the two drive motors through the control circuit 9. This allows the loading plane to generate driving force in any direction, enabling different feed materials 2 to move towards the first material outlet 3, the second material outlet 4, and the third material outlet 5 on the belt sliding metal strip device 10.
[0030] It should be noted that the belt sliding metal strip device 10 includes a sheet metal bearing housing, a pulley system, metal fenders, and a belt. The belt sliding metal strip device 10 is arranged side-by-side, with pre-drilled holes on the surface of the sheet metal bearing housing. It is connected to the bent plate drive chain 19 via bolts pre-installed before welding the pulley system. The maximum width of the sheet metal bearing housing is less than the distance between adjacent bent plates of the bent plate drive chain 19. The length of the sheet metal bearing housing is related to the distance between the two plastic omnidirectional drive wheels 13 and the radius of the plastic omnidirectional drive wheels. The maximum width of the belt is less than the inner width of the sheet metal bearing housing. To avoid friction between the belt and the sheet metal bearing housing during material transportation and to prevent the belt from slipping off the track, the upper surface of the belt is higher than the highest point of the sheet metal bearing housing, and the lower surface is lower than the highest point of the sheet metal bearing housing. During the welding process between the pulley system and the sheet metal bearing housing, positioning pin holes are pre-drilled on the side of the sheet metal bearing housing. Three metal fenders on each side of the belt sliding metal strip device 10 are connected to the sheet metal bearing housing via long bolts, arranged in a triangular pattern. The distance between the two bottom metal fenders should be less than the diameter of the plastic omnidirectional drive wheels on both sides, and the apex of the top metal fender should be slightly higher than the top of the pulley row.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first guide wheel device 15, the belt drive unit speed reduction and torque amplification device 16, the first drive motor assembly 17, the speed feedback device 18, the second guide wheel device 20, the drive shaft pulley 22, the chain drive unit speed reduction and torque amplification device 23, and the second drive motor assembly 24 are all located within the movement range of the belt sliding metal strip device 10, and their highest points maintain a safe distance from the belt sliding metal strip device 10 to prevent movement interference.
[0032] In this embodiment, the plastic omnidirectional drive wheel 13 of the belt drive unit 11 includes multiple plastic omnidirectional drive wheels. Each plastic omnidirectional drive wheel 13 has the same mounting angle on the drive wheel shaft and is fitted with an interference fit to ensure that the plastic omnidirectional drive wheel and the drive wheel shaft do not rotate relative to each other. The guide wheel of the guide wheel device 15 is lower than the highest point of the sprocket 21. The speed feedback device 18 is connected to the first drive motor assembly 17 via a synchronous belt. The speed signal is calculated based on the number of teeth of the connected synchronous belt pulley and fed back to the control circuit 9.
[0033] In operation, the first drive motor assembly 17 drives the speed feedback device 18 and the belt drive unit reduction and torque amplification device 16. The belt drive unit reduction and torque amplification device 16 drives the plastic omnidirectional drive wheel 13 via the guide wheel device 15, causing the belt on the belt sliding metal strip device 10 to move along the surface. It should be noted that the plastic omnidirectional drive wheels 13 on both sides of the device are driven by two identical power systems.
[0034] In this embodiment, the chain drive unit 12 includes a bent plate drive chain 19, a second guide wheel device 20, a sprocket 21, a drive shaft pulley 22, a chain drive unit speed reduction and torque amplification device 23, and a second drive motor assembly 24. In operation, the second drive motor assembly 24 drives the chain drive unit speed reduction and torque amplification device 23, which in turn causes the sprocket 21 and the bent plate drive chain 19 to move via the drive shaft pulley 22.
[0035] It should be noted that a second guide wheel device 20 is used between the chain drive unit's speed reduction and torque amplification device 23 and the drive shaft pulley 22 to prevent motion interference between the belt and the overall support 8. The second guide wheel device 20 mainly includes a guide wheel bracket and two guide wheels, with the top of the guide wheels higher than the top of the overall support 8. A tension adjustment device is used during the installation of the second drive motor assembly 24 and the drive shaft pulley 22.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this technical solution, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
