DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The specific implementation manner of the utility model will be described in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0027] As Figures 1-6 shown in the embodiments of the utility model, a sorting equipment for continuous package supply and sorting is provided, which aims to optimize the spatial layout of the sorting area in the process of logistics cargo sorting, ensure the continuity of cargo sorting, and improve the sorting efficiency.

[0028] The sorting equipment for continuous package supply and sorting in the embodiments of the utility model arranges multiple storage shelves in a ring shape around the rotation axis of the rotating disc mechanism, fully utilizes the space of the sorting area, and compared with some traditional linear or decentralized storage layout, can increase the number of storage shelves arranged in the limited site area, thereby improving the overall cargo storage capacity and facilitating the satisfaction of large-scale sorting operation requirements. At the same time, the sorting equipment drives multiple conveying trolleys to move circularly between the storage shelves arranged in a ring shape by the rotating disc mechanism, realizes continuous package supply and sorting operation, ensures the continuity of cargo sorting, and greatly improves the sorting speed and efficiency compared with the traditional linear seeding wall or manual sorting mode.

[0029] As Figure 1 combined Figure 2 shown, a sorting equipment for continuous package supply and sorting includes a rotating disc mechanism 1, a conveying trolley 2, a storage shelf 3, and a supply module 4 for supplying goods to the conveying trolley 2. Multiple storage shelves 3 are arranged in a ring shape around the rotating disc mechanism 1 along the rotation axis of the rotating disc mechanism 1. A conveying channel 5 for the conveying trolley 2 to pass through is arranged between the storage shelf 3 and the rotating disc mechanism 1.

[0030] As Figure 2 combined Figure 5 shown, the supply module 4 is arranged between the storage shelves 3, and a pair of supply modules 4 are symmetrically arranged along the rotation axis of the rotating disc mechanism 1. The symmetrically arranged supply modules 4 can keep the ring-shaped seeding wall in better load balance during operation. When multiple conveying trolleys 2 simultaneously work at different positions, the two supply modules 4 can uniformly distribute goods to the conveying trolleys 2 on both sides, avoiding uneven force on the rotating disc mechanism 1 due to concentrated supply on one side, and generating the unbalanced load phenomenon. This balanced load design helps to reduce the wear of the rotating disc mechanism 1, reduce the vibration and noise during equipment operation, prolong the service life of the equipment, and also improve the stability and reliability of the entire system operation.

[0031] Among them, as Figure 2As shown, the supply module 4 includes a code scanning unit 41 for collecting goods information and a weighing unit 42 for goods weighing. The code scanning unit 41 is used to quickly read the bar code, two-dimensional code or other identification code on the goods, and obtain the detailed information of the goods, such as product name, model, batch, production date, origin, etc. Precise identification and classified storage of goods can be realized, ensuring that the goods are accurately sorted to the corresponding storage shelves 3 or storage units 31.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 The conveying trolley 2 is arranged in the conveying channel 5, and includes a mounting frame 21, a material frame 22 and a lifting assembly 23. The lifting assembly 23 is arranged axially parallel to the rotating shaft 13 of the carousel mechanism 1, and is used to drive the material frame 22 to reciprocate along the height direction of the storage shelves 3. The material frame 22 is connected with the lifting assembly 23, and the lifting assembly 23 is connected with the carousel mechanism 1 through the mounting frame 21.

[0033] As shown in Figure 2 The storage shelves 3 are provided with storage units 31. A plurality of storage units 31 are arranged in a rectangular array on the storage shelves 3, and the openings of the storage units 31 face the conveying channel 5. Among them, the rectangular array arrangement of the storage units 31 can fully utilize the space of the storage shelves 3. The rectangular layout can realize close arrangement, reduce space gap and waste, so that the storage shelves 3 can accommodate more storage units 31 in a limited floor area, thereby significantly improving the storage capacity of the warehouse.

[0034] For example, as shown in Figure 6 The lifting assembly 23 includes a stand 231 and a synchronous belt unit 232, and the stand 231 is connected with the mounting frame 21. The synchronous belt unit 232 is installed on the stand 231 and is used to drive the material frame 22 to reciprocate along the height direction of the storage shelves 3. In this way, the synchronous belt unit 232 has the characteristics of high transmission precision. When driving the material frame 22 to reciprocate along the height direction of the storage shelves 3, the position of the material frame 22 can be accurately controlled, so that it can accurately reach the height matched with each storage unit 31.

[0035] In addition, the structure design that the stand 231 is connected with the mounting frame 21 makes the overall structure of the lifting assembly 23 relatively compact. In the limited space of the ring-shaped seeding wall, such a compact structure can be better laid out and installed, reducing the occupation of the surrounding space, which is conducive to the optimal configuration of the entire equipment in space. Compared with some loose and bulky lifting devices, it can make the ring-shaped seeding wall realize smaller floor area or more reasonable space utilization while maintaining high-efficiency sorting function, which is particularly critical for the logistics and warehousing environment where space resources are scarce, and can improve the space utilization and storage capacity of the warehouse.

[0036] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the guide mechanism 24 is arranged between the material frame 22 and the stand 231. The guide mechanism 24 comprises a wheel frame 241 and a guide wheel set 242. The side wall of the material frame 22 is connected with the stand 231 through the wheel frame 241. The guide wheel set 242 is installed on the wheel frame 241. The side wall of the stand 231 is provided with a track surface for contacting with the guide wheel set 242.

[0037] The guide wheel set 242 rolls along the track surface of the side wall of the stand 231, which can provide accurate and stable guidance for the reciprocating movement of the material frame 22 in the height direction. This effectively limits the unstable movement such as lateral deviation, shaking or twisting of the material frame 22, and ensures that the material frame 22 always maintains a stable and straight movement track during lifting.

[0038] According to some preferred embodiments of the utility model, as shown in the drawings, Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the material frame 22 is provided with a conveying belt 25. The conveying direction of the conveying belt 25 is arranged along the radial direction of the rotary disc mechanism 1. When the conveying trolley 2 reaches the corresponding position of the storage shelf 3 and needs to sort the goods into the storage unit 31, the conveying belt 25 can stably push the goods out. The continuous movement characteristics avoid the unstable state caused by sudden start-stop or jam when the goods are transferred between the material frame 22 and the storage shelf 3, so that the goods can enter the storage unit 31 more smoothly.

[0039] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, Figure 4 The rotary disc mechanism 1 comprises a support frame 11, a power component 12, a rotating shaft 13, a first rotary disc frame 14 and a second rotary disc frame 15. The power component 12 is installed on the support frame 11. The output end of the power component 12 is connected with the rotating shaft 13 through a transmission structure 16. The first rotary disc frame 14 and the second rotary disc frame 15 are coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 13. A connecting plate 19 is arranged between the first rotary disc frame 14 and the second rotary disc frame 15. The connecting plate 19 is provided with a mounting portion for mounting the lifting assembly 23. The mounting frame 21 is connected with the mounting portion.

[0040] The connecting plate 19 is used to enhance the connection strength between the rotary disc frames, so that the whole rotary disc mechanism 1 can better disperse stress when bearing the weight of the conveying trolley 2 and the goods, preventing the rotary disc frame from deforming or twisting. Even under high-speed rotation or heavy load operating conditions, the structural integrity can be maintained, ensuring accurate cooperation between components, which is conducive to further improving the accuracy of sorting.

[0041] For example, the power component 12 is selected as a servo motor. The servo motor can realize very accurate position control, so that the rotary disc mechanism 1 can accurately stop at the preset position, facilitating the docking of the conveying trolley 2 and the storage shelf 3. The transmission structure 16 is selected as a gear transmission mechanism.

[0042] As shown in the drawings,Figure 4 As shown, the first carousel 14 is located below the second carousel 15, and the bottom of the first carousel 14 is provided with a roller assembly 17, and the support frame 11 is provided with a table surface 18 for supporting the roller assembly 17.

[0043] In this way, the roller assembly 17 provided at the bottom of the first carousel 14 and the corresponding support table surface 18 on the support frame 11 make part of the weight of the first carousel 14 be borne by the roller assembly 17 and transmitted to the table surface 18 of the support frame 11. The vertical downward pressure acting on the rotating shaft 13 is effectively shared, and the axial load borne by the rotating shaft 13 in the long-term operation process is reduced.

[0044] Compared with the conventional support mode, the roller assembly 17 can convert the sliding friction between the first carousel 14 and the support frame 11 into rolling friction, so that the friction force borne by the first carousel 14 in the rotating process is greatly reduced. When the carousel mechanism 1 drives the conveying trolley 2 and the goods to continuously rotate, the energy consumption of the power component 12 is greatly reduced.

[0045] As shown, Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of conveying trolleys 2 are arranged in a circle along the rotating axis of the carousel mechanism 1. In this way, it is ensured that there is a conveying trolley 2 available for use at any angle position during the continuous rotation of the carousel mechanism 1, ensuring the continuity of the goods sorting and realizing the continuous feeding operation. When the feeding module 4 supplies goods to the conveying trolley 2, there will be no feeding gap or delay due to uneven distribution of trolleys, greatly improving the feeding efficiency and continuity.

[0046] The sorting equipment for continuous feeding and sorting disclosed in the embodiment of the utility model is used, and various components such as the carousel mechanism 1, the conveying trolley 2, the storage shelf 3 and the feeding module 4 cooperate with each other, a relatively stable automatic sorting system is formed, continuous feeding is realized, waiting is not needed, the equipment has a small area, is convenient to install, adjust and move, and the sorting rate can reach 3500 pieces / hour.

[0047] The utility model is not limited to the specific technical solutions described in the above embodiment, and the utility model can also have other implementation manners in addition to the above embodiment. For those skilled in the art, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like formed in the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
