Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting equipment, and in particular to sorting carts and cross-belt sorting devices. Background Technology
[0002] In cross-belt sorting systems, as shown in the patent document with authorization announcement number CN204999232U, a feeding platform that is inclined and set on the side of the sorting loop is used to feed packages to the conveyor of the sorting trolley.
[0003] Because the feeding platform is set at an angle, when the items are output from the feeding platform, the direction of movement of the items is at an angle to the conveying direction of the sorting cart's conveyor. This structure requires that the feeding speed of the feeding platform cannot be too fast, otherwise the items are easy to move out from the side of the conveyor, which is not conducive to the accuracy of feeding and subsequent accurate sorting. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and to provide a sorting trolley and a cross-belt sorting device.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] The sorting trolley includes a frame and a conveyor located on the frame. The frame is equipped with a rotating mechanism, which is connected to the conveyor and drives the conveyor to rotate horizontally to adjust the conveying direction.
[0007] Preferably, in the sorting trolley, the frame of the conveyor includes two side plates, the two side plates having a stop extending above the conveying surface of the conveyor, the stop being trapezoidal and having its two ends located inside the two ends of the conveyor and maintaining a distance from the two ends of the conveyor.
[0008] Preferably, in the sorting trolley, the rotating mechanism is a servo turntable mounted on the frame.
[0009] Preferably, in the sorting trolley, the conveyor is rotatably mounted on a mounting frame on the trolley frame via bearings, and the rotating mechanism includes a motor fixed on the mounting frame and a transmission mechanism connecting the motor and a rotating shaft located at the center of the bottom of the conveyor.
[0010] Preferably, in the sorting trolley, the bearing is a planar thrust bearing or a slewing bearing.
[0011] Preferably, in the sorting trolley, a mounting frame is provided on the frame, and the conveyor is rotatably mounted above the top plate of the mounting frame. The rotating mechanism is a geared motor fixed below the top plate of the mounting frame, and the power output shaft of the geared motor is connected to the bottom center position of the conveyor.
[0012] Preferably, in the sorting trolley, the bottom of the conveyor is provided with a plurality of support rollers evenly distributed around the power output shaft. Each support roller is rolled on an arc-shaped hole on the top plate of the mounting frame. The diameter of the roller is larger than the width of the arc-shaped hole. A circular groove is provided on the circumferential surface of the roller for the portion of the top plate surrounding the arc-shaped hole to be embedded.
[0013] Preferably, in the sorting trolley, the mounting frame is provided with a universal ball that abuts against the bottom of the conveyor frame.
[0014] Cross-belt sorting device, including sorting carts as described in any of the above.
[0015] The advantages of this utility model's technical solution are mainly reflected in:
[0016] The sorting trolley of this invention drives the conveyor to rotate horizontally by setting a rotating mechanism, thereby adjusting the conveyor's conveying direction to be consistent with that of the bag feeding platform. This allows items to enter the conveyor more stably and reliably when the bag feeding platform feeds the items, effectively improving the reliability of the bag feeding and helping to ensure sorting accuracy.
[0017] The sorting trolley of this invention can adopt different rotating structures as needed, which can meet various usage requirements and has better applicability.
[0018] This invention features rollers installed at the bottom of the conveyor, which are then rolled and engaged with the top plate of the mounting frame. This effectively provides support and limits the conveyor, minimizing the overall height while ensuring reliable operation. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1
[0026] The sorting cart disclosed in this utility model will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a frame 100 and a conveyor 300 located on the frame 100. A rotating mechanism 500 is provided on the frame 100. The rotating mechanism 500 is connected to the conveyor 300 and drives the conveyor 300 to rotate horizontally to adjust the conveying direction.
[0027] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the structure of the frame 100 can be the same as that of a known sorting cart frame 100, which typically includes a T-shaped main frame 110 and a wheel frame 120 connected to the outside of the vertical bar of the main frame 110. The wheel frame 120 is provided with a traveling wheel 130 at both ends, and the axis of the traveling wheel 130 extends horizontally. At the same time, two guide wheels 140 are also provided on the wheel frame 120 between the two traveling wheels 130, and the axis of the guide wheels 140 extends vertically.
[0028] As attached Figure 1As shown, the conveyor 300 can be a known belt conveyor or roller conveyor, which includes a frame 310. The frame 310 includes two side plates 311 and a base plate 312 connected between the two side plates 311. Two rollers are provided at both ends of the two side plates 311, one of which can be an electric roller. A belt 320 is fitted between the two rollers. In order to prevent items from falling out from both sides of the conveyor 300 during rotation, the two side plates 311 have a baffle 313 extending above the conveying surface of the conveyor 300. The baffle 313 is trapezoidal and its two ends are located inside the two ends of the conveyor and maintain a distance from the two ends of the conveyor 300. This can minimize the interference when items are input into and output from the conveyor 300.
[0029] The rotating mechanism 500 can adopt different structures as needed. In the first embodiment, as shown in the attached figure... Figure 1 As shown, the rotating mechanism 500 is a servo turntable mounted on the frame 100, and the rotating disk of the servo turntable is connected to the bottom center of the frame 310.
[0030] In the second embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, a mounting frame 700 is provided on the frame 100. The conveyor 300 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 700 via a bearing 900. The bearing 900 is preferably a planar thrust bearing or a slewing bearing. The rotating mechanism 500 includes a motor 510 fixed on the mounting frame 700 and a transmission mechanism 520 connecting the motor 510 and a rotating shaft located at the bottom center of the conveyor 300. The transmission mechanism 520 can be a known synchronous belt transmission mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism, or a transmission mechanism composed of a chain and sprocket.
[0031] As attached Figure 2 As shown, when the conveyor 300 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 700, the mounting frame 700 is provided with a universal ball 200 that abuts against the bottom of the frame 310 of the conveyor 300, thereby providing better support for the conveyor 300 and ensuring the smooth rotation of the conveyor 300.
[0032] In the third embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4As shown, a mounting frame 700 is provided on the frame 100. The conveyor 300 is rotatably mounted above the top plate 710 of the mounting frame 700. Specifically, the bottom of the conveyor 300 is provided with a plurality of support rollers 330 evenly distributed around the power output shaft. Each support roller 330 is rotatably disposed on an arc-shaped hole 711 on the top plate 710 of the mounting frame 700. The diameter of the roller is larger than the width of the arc-shaped hole 711. A circular groove is provided on the circumferential surface of the roller for the portion of the top plate 710 surrounding the arc-shaped hole 711 to be inserted. That is, the roller is I-shaped, and the diameter of the central circular shaft of the I-shape is approximately equal to the width of the arc-shaped hole 711. The rotating mechanism 500 is a geared motor fixed below the top plate 710 of the mounting frame 700. The power output shaft of the geared motor is connected to the center position of the bottom of the conveyor 300.
[0033] At this time, a universal ball can also be installed on the mounting frame to support the conveyor. In this case, the outer shell of the universal ball can be fixed to the bottom of the top plate of the mounting frame, while the ball protrudes above the top plate and abuts against the bottom plate of the conveyor.
