AI Technical Summary
Existing sorting machine turning tracks can only move items in one direction, and cannot transport items in different directions as needed. They occupy a lot of space and require multiple turning tracks to work together.
A turning track for a cross-belt sorting machine was designed. It adopts a bottom rotating cam and guide structure. Through the cooperation of the arc-shaped track and the diversion plate, the items are guided and diverted in different directions.
This allows items to be transported in different directions on the same track, reducing space usage, preventing items from accidentally entering other tracks, and improving sorting efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of sorting machines, specifically to a turning track for a cross-belt sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] A sorting machine is an automated device primarily used for the efficient classification of items according to preset rules. It acquires information about items through sensors, cameras, and other devices, and uses robotic arms, conveyor belts, and other mechanisms to deliver the items to designated locations. Its working principle relies on advanced sensing and control technology, enabling flexible classification based on attributes such as size, color, and weight.
[0003] Sorting machines are widely used in logistics, e-commerce, and postal industries. Especially in e-commerce, sorting machines have become indispensable equipment, significantly reducing labor costs and improving logistics efficiency. Automated sorting systems are characterized by high efficiency and continuous operation, capable of sorting thousands of items per hour with a low error rate, primarily relying on barcode technology for identification.
[0004] During the operation of specific embodiments, the inventors discovered the following defects:
[0005] During operation, the sorting machine needs to change the direction of the items being transported via turning tracks. However, turning tracks can only move items in one direction and cannot transport different items in different directions as needed. To achieve turning in different directions, multiple turning tracks need to be used in coordination, which occupies a large amount of space.
[0006] It should be noted that the above content falls within the scope of the inventor's technical knowledge. Due to the vast and complex nature of the technical content in this field, the above content of this application does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0017] 3. Beneficial effects:
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0019] This utility model features a track body that bends in an arc at one end to both sides, allowing the track body to guide items in different directions and avoid the large space occupied by turning tracks. At the same time, when the track body is transporting items, the other side of the track body can close the arc track of the other side through a wire structure and guide plate to prevent items from accidentally entering the interior of other track bodies.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Example
[0029] See attached document Figure 1-3A turning track for a cross-belt sorting machine includes a track structure 1, a rotating cam 2 rotatably connected to one side of the bottom of the track structure 1, a guide structure 3 provided at the bottom of the track structure 1, and diverting plates 4 provided on both sides inside the track structure 1.
[0030] The track structure 1 includes a track body 101, one end of which is arc-shaped, with two arcs at one end of the track body 101 in opposite directions. Two mounting slots 104 are provided inside the track body 101. A support frame 102 is provided at the top of the track body 101, and a top strip 103 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 102. A drive wheel is provided at the bottom of the top strip 103. A vertical rod 105 is provided at the bottom of the track body 101, and a sliding hole 106 is provided at the bottom of the vertical rod 105. When items need to be transported, items are placed on top of a transport trolley, and the transport trolley moves inside the track body 101. After inspection and sorting processes, the items on top of the transport trolley are sorted and inspected. Based on the inspection results, the items on top of the transport trolley are transported through the track bodies 101 in different directions to different storage locations.
[0031] Furthermore, the guide structure 3 includes a sliding rod 301, which is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding hole 106. One end of the sliding rod 301 is provided with a side plate 302, which is slidably connected to the rotating cam 2. A spring telescopic rod 303 is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding rod 301, and one end of the spring telescopic rod 303 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the vertical rod 105. A support block 304 is provided on one side of the top of the sliding rod 301, and guide plates 305 are provided on both sides of the support block 304. The support block 304 is slidably connected to the diverter plate 4. When it is necessary to move the transport trolley inside the track body 101 to different positions... The motor is started, and the motor drives the rotating cam 2 to rotate. The rotating cam 2 pushes the sliding rod 301 on one side to slide on the inner wall of the sliding hole 106. The guide structures 3 on both sides of the bottom of the track body 101 operate alternately. Then, the spring telescopic rod 303 on one side of the bottom of the track body 101 is stretched and the other side is squeezed. Then, the sliding rod 301 drives the support block 304 to move. The support block 304 pushes the diverter plate 4 to move upward. The diverter plate 4 slides upward on the inner wall of the mounting groove 104 to seal one side of the track body 101. The diverter plate 4 on the other side moves downward. A spring is set between the diverter plate 4 and the track body 101 to open the track body 101 and realize the transportation of the trolley.
[0032] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
