TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to parcel conveying technical field, especially relates to a transportation sorting system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the traditional freight transportation and sorting process, in order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of freight handling, cross-belt sorting system or narrow-belt sorting machine is often used. These systems control the goods according to the predetermined path through the accurate control system, ensure that the goods can quickly and accurately reach the designated distribution site. In this process, the sorting system will install a chute at the goods outlet, and the function of the chute is to guide the goods to slide smoothly from the sorting equipment to the next link, such as loading area or temporary storage area.
[0003] However, the existing sorting system has certain limitations in control setting. Because the goods are usually released into the chute at the same angle during the sorting process, which leads to the accumulation of goods in a certain area of the chute, thus forming the accumulation phenomenon. This accumulation not only reduces the efficiency of goods sorting, but also may cause damage to the goods or increase the difficulty of manual processing. In addition, the accumulation of goods may also cause the blockage of the chute, affecting the normal operation of the entire sorting system. SUMMARY
[0004] The utility model aims at solving the problem that the goods are easy to accumulate in the chute. The utility model provides a transportation sorting system, which can realize the uniform distribution and smooth sliding of goods, and avoid the accumulation of goods in the chute.

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear, the embodiments of the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application provide a kind of transport sorting system 100, including multiple conveyor belts 200, chute 300, balance wheel machine 400 and cylinder 500. Among them, multiple conveyor belts 200 extend along the first direction X and are arranged at intervals. That is, conveyor belt 200 is at least provided with two, and extends along the first direction X and is arranged at intervals in the first direction X. It can be understood that the number of conveyor belt 200 is limited by the distance of the transport route, and the length of each conveyor belt 200 and other factors.
[0032] As Figure 2 The above-mentioned chute 300 is arranged at an obtuse angle with conveyor belt 200, and the inlet 301 of chute 300 is partially directed to conveyor belt 200. Exemplarily, chute 300 is arranged at one side of the width direction of conveyor belt 200, and extends downwardly along the third direction Y.
[0033] It can be understood that the first direction X is the length direction of conveyor belt 200. In the present embodiment, the first direction X and the third direction Y are perpendicular, and the width direction of conveyor belt 200 and the extension direction of chute 300 (i.e. the third direction Y) are arranged at an obtuse angle, that is, the chute 300 forms a downhill, so as to facilitate the goods to slide down.
[0034] The above-mentioned pendulum machine 400 connects two adjacent conveying belts 200, and another part of the entrance 301 of the chute 300 faces the pendulum machine 400. The pendulum machine 400 is used to drive the goods to slide into the chute 300 at two alternating angles. That is, the two adjacent conveying belts 200 are connected by the pendulum machine 400, and when the goods on one of the conveying belts 200 are transported to its adjacent next conveying belt 200 in the first direction X, the goods will pass through the pendulum machine 400. In the case of the pendulum machine 400 working, the pendulum of the pendulum machine 400 will change the direction of movement of the goods and slide into the chute 300, for example, from the original first direction X to the third direction Y. Different directions and angles of the pendulum of the pendulum machine 400 make the goods slide into the chute 300 in different directions, which avoids the goods from being stacked in the chute 300 in the same angle, thereby improving the efficiency of unloading and the utilization rate of the chute 300.
[0035] It can be understood that the specific direction of the movement of the goods is changed from the first direction X to another direction, which is limited by the angle of the pendulum of the pendulum machine 400. For example, when the pendulum of the pendulum machine 400 swings 45°, the direction of the movement of the goods also changes about 45°.
[0036] As shown in Figure 2 , one part of the entrance 301 of the chute 300 faces the conveying belt 200, and the other part faces the pendulum machine 400. That is, the entrance 301 of the chute 300 is designed to be large enough to allow the pendulum machine 400 to swing left and right at different angles and push the goods into the chute 300 from different directions, so as to avoid the limitation of the angle of the goods sliding into the chute 300 due to the small entrance 301 of the chute 300.
[0037] As shown in Figure 2 , the above-mentioned roller 500 is arranged on the wall of the chute 300 and can rotate relative to the wall of the chute 300. As an example, when the goods slide into the chute 300 and pass through the roller 500, the roller 500 is driven to rotate, which helps the goods to slide more smoothly along the chute 300 and reduces the friction and resistance of the goods in the chute 300.
[0038] With the above technical solution, the conveying belt 200 transports the goods in the first direction X, and when the goods on one of the conveying belts 200 are transported in the first direction X to the next adjacent conveying belt 200, they pass through the escapement machine 400. The escapement machine 400 oscillates, causing the goods to change direction of movement to slide into the chute 300 from the inlet 301, achieving the purpose of sorting. By setting the escapement machine 400 to push the goods in different directions according to the preset two alternating angles (for example, the angle of 30° and 45° with the direction of movement of the goods), the goods are made to slide into the chute 300 from different directions, thereby achieving the purpose of dispersing the goods for unloading. The goods that slide into the chute 300 pass through the roller 500 during the sliding process, driving the roller 500 to rotate, which helps the goods to slide more smoothly along the chute 300, reduces the friction and resistance of the goods in the chute 300, and avoids the accumulation of goods due to poor sliding in the chute 300.
[0039] In summary, through the cooperation of the escapement machine 400 and the roller 500, the uniform distribution and smooth sliding of the goods can be achieved, and the problem of goods accumulation in the traditional cross-belt or narrow-belt sorting method is solved.
[0040] This way not only improves the unloading efficiency, but also helps to reduce the damage and loss of goods. At the same time, since the distribution of goods in the chute 300 is more uniform, it also facilitates subsequent distribution and processing work, improving the operation efficiency of logistics companies and customer satisfaction.
[0041] In some possible embodiments, the transport sorting system 100 includes a plurality of rollers 500, and the plurality of rollers 500 are arranged at intervals, each roller 500 extending in the second direction Z; the angle between the second direction Z and the first direction X is 10°-15°. That is, the angle between the extension direction of the roller 500 and the first direction X can be 10°, 11°, 12°, 13°, 14°, 15°, etc.
[0042] The roller 500 of the present embodiment extends obliquely, and due to its oblique angle, it can increase the friction force of the contact surface with the goods, helping to control the sliding speed of the goods and prevent the goods from sliding too fast. In addition, the obliquely extending roller 500 can provide additional grip, helping to stabilize the sliding of the goods and prevent the goods from turning or tilting in the chute 300, especially when handling irregularly shaped or slippery goods, reducing the vibration and jolt of the goods in the chute 300, and maintaining the integrity of the goods.
[0043] In the present embodiment, there are six rollers 500 arranged at intervals. However, those skilled in the art can understand that the number of rollers 500, as well as their size and distribution, can be selected according to the weight, size, shape, and material of the goods, for example, light goods may require fewer rollers 500, while heavy goods may require more rollers 500 to disperse the weight.
[0044] In some possible embodiments, the chute wall of the chute 300 is provided with a plurality of long grooves (not numbered in the figure), which correspond to the plurality of rollers 500 one by one, and each roller 500 is embedded in the corresponding long groove, and a part of the roller 500 protrudes from the chute wall of the chute 300, so as to facilitate the goods to pass through the roller 500, drive the roller 500 to rotate, and make the goods more smoothly slide along the chute 300, reduce the friction and resistance of the goods in the chute 300.
[0045] In the embodiment, the rotation of the roller 500 is realized by the contact with the goods in the sliding process. However, those skilled in the art can understand that in other embodiments, the roller 500 can also be driven by other driving members (such as a motor, etc.) to keep rotating.
[0046] Figure 1 And Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, only one set of roller groups 501 is provided on the single chute 300, and the set of roller groups 501 has six rollers 500.
[0047] And in Figure 3 In another embodiment shown, two sets of roller groups 501 are provided on the single chute 300, each set of roller groups 501 includes a plurality of spaced rollers 500, and the two sets of roller groups 501 are spaced apart along the first direction X on the chute wall of the chute 300. Exemplarily, when the oscillating angle of the escapement 400 is large, the goods may slide into the chute 300 and cannot contact the roller 500, and by providing two sets of roller groups 501 on the chute wall of the chute 300, it can be ensured that each goods can contact the roller 500 in the sliding process as much as possible, thereby improving the smoothness of the goods sliding, and avoiding the goods from staying on the chute wall of the chute 300 due to friction and resistance and unable to continue to slide.
[0048] Exemplarily, the two sets of roller groups 501 are symmetrically arranged left and right.
[0049] As Figure 2 And Figure 3 In some possible embodiments, the chute wall of the chute 300 includes a first sliding area 310 and a second sliding area 320 connected, the first sliding area 310 is connected to the entrance 301 of the chute 300, and the roller 500 is arranged in the first sliding area 310. That is, the roller 500 is arranged in the upper half of the chute 300, and the roller 500 arranged in the upper half of the chute 300 can help to control the speed of the goods when starting to slide, and can also play a guiding role.
[0050] In some possible embodiments, as Figure 2 And Figure 3As shown, the transport sorting system 100 comprises a plurality of chutes 300, which are arranged at intervals in the first direction X; each of the chutes 300 extends along the third direction Y. Exemplarily, the plurality of chutes 300 correspond to a plurality of tumbler machines 400, i.e. a tumbler machine 400 is arranged near the position of the entrance 301 of each of the chutes 300.
[0051] The plurality of conveyors 200 extend along the first direction X, forming a main line of goods transport, and the plurality of chutes 300 are arranged on one side of the main line of transport, so that the goods on the main line of transport are made to slide into the corresponding chutes 300 by the tumbler machines 400, to realize the transport and sorting of the goods.
[0052] It can be understood that each of the goods has a corresponding chute 300, and before the goods on the main line of transport reach the corresponding chute 300, they are conveyed on the conveyors 200 along the first direction X; when passing through the tumbler machine 400, the tumbler machine 400 does not work, so that the goods pass through the tumbler machine 400 without sliding into the chute 300 there, and continue to be transported along the first direction X until they reach the corresponding chute 300, and then the tumbler machine 400 works to make them slide into the corresponding chute 300.
[0053] Although the present application has been illustrated and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it should be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting of the present application. Numerous changes and modifications can be made to the specific embodiments described above, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
