[0047] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 As shown in Figures 1 to 3 A structure diagram showing that the docking push plate of the docking material rack of the docking equipment of the present application is in an unstressed state, Figures 4 to 5 A structure diagram showing that the docking push plate of the docking material rack of the docking equipment of the present application is in a stressed state. The docking material rack of the present application comprises a rack frame body 100 and a flow bar 200, and the flow bar 200 is connected to the rack frame body 100. The flow bar 200 forms a plurality of slides, and a plurality of material turnover boxes can be arranged on the docking material rack for storage, transfer storage, transportation and the like of empty and full material turnover boxes.
[0048] The material rack frame 100 comprises an inlet end 101 and an outlet end 102, the flow strip 200 extends from the inlet end 101 to the outlet end 102, the inlet end 101 of the same slide is higher than the outlet end 102 in the vertical direction, that is, the inlet end 101 to the outlet end 102 has an inclined direction, and the flow strip 200 extends obliquely downward from the inlet end 101 to the outlet end 102.
[0049] The docking material rack further comprises a stopping mechanism 300, the stopping mechanism 300 is arranged at the outlet end 102, and the material turnover box placed on the flow strip 200 is limited by the action of the stopping mechanism 300.
[0050] In detail, the stopping mechanism 300 comprises a docking push plate 310, a rotating shaft 320 and a stopping piece 330, the rotating shaft 320 is connected with the docking push plate 310, and the stopping piece 330 is connected with the rotating shaft 320.
[0051] In the initial state, as shown in the figure, when the docking push plate 310 is not stressed, the stopping piece 330 of the stopping mechanism 300 protrudes above the flow strip 200 of the outlet end 102, and each material turnover box placed on the flow strip 200 can be prevented from sliding along the slide. Figure 2 When the docking push plate 310 is stressed and drives the rotating shaft 320 to rotate, the stopping piece 330 connected with the rotating shaft 320 rotates and moves below the flow strip 200, and each material turnover box placed on the flow strip 200 can move along the flow strip 200, without manual transfer one by one, thereby reducing the invalid working hours of the logistics workers and improving the production efficiency.
[0052] In some embodiments, the docking push plate 310 can be stressed by manual pushing, so as to drive the stopping piece 330 to overturn and move downward to leave the stopping position.
[0053] In some embodiments, the logistics equipment of the utility model comprises a docking material rack and a sorting material rack, the docking material rack can be docked with the sorting material rack, and after the docking material rack is docked with the sorting material rack, the material turnover boxes on the docking material rack can be automatically and discretely reached to the predetermined positions on the sorting material rack.
[0054] Further, the sorting material rack comprises a force applying piece corresponding to the docking push plate 310 of the docking material rack, and when the docking material rack is docked with the sorting material rack, the force applying piece of the sorting material rack applies force to the docking push plate 310 of the docking material rack. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the docking material rack is docked with the sorting material rack on the left, the docking push plate 310 is stressed and moves to the right, and in combination with Figures 1 to 5 , the stopping piece 330 is driven to rotate and move downward to be below the flow strip 200 of the outlet end 102, and each material turnover box placed on the flow strip 200 can move along the flow strip 200 to the sorting material rack, so that the automatic transfer of the material turnover boxes is realized.
[0055] When the material rack is disengaged from the docking material rack, the force applied to the docking push plate 310 disappears, and the docking push plate 310 returns to the initial position. At this time, the stop piece 330 rotates and moves up to be above the flow bar 200 at the discharge end 102, and plays a role of limiting the material turnover box on the flow bar 200. In the embodiment, for example, the included angle A between the stop piece 330 and the horizontal plane rotates from 90 degrees when not docked to at least 153 degrees.
[0056] In the utility model, the material rack frame body 100 is mainly composed of profile construction, and the material rack frame body 100 is, for example, presented as a cuboid structure, and one vertical column is arranged at each corner to support the overall structure, or a middle vertical column can be additionally arranged between vertical columns to further enhance the stability of the structure. The design of the cuboid structure makes a plurality of material rack frame bodies 100 conveniently arranged side by side, improving space utilization. In terms of profile materials, for example, aluminum alloy profiles are used, which have good load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance.

Initially, the stop piece 330 is in the initial state of protruding above the flow bar 200. When the docking push plate 310 is forced to move left and drives the crank shaft 340 to rotate counterclockwise together with the rotating shaft 320, the stop piece 330 connected to the rotating shaft 320 rotates counterclockwise to be below the flow bar 200, the blocking and limiting of the material turnover box placed on the flow bar 200 disappear, and the material turnover box can move along the inclined flow bar 200.
[0058] Further, the docking push plate 310 includes a connecting end 311 and a force receiving end 312, the connecting end 311 is connected to the crank shaft 340, in a non-force receiving state, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the force receiving end 312 protrudes out of the discharge end 102 of the material rack frame body 100, that is, the force receiving end 312 extends to the outside of the material rack frame body 100, which is convenient for manual or force applying to the force receiving end 312.

The docking push plate 310 includes a sliding groove 313 arranged corresponding to the reset member 350. When the force on the force receiving end 312 of the docking push plate 310 disappears, the docking push plate 310 returns to the original position by gravity, elastic force, human force, etc. The docking push plate 310 drives the stop member 330 to return to the stop position through the crank shaft 340 and the rotating shaft 320, and at this time, the reset member 350 is located at the sliding groove 313.
[0060] The rack frame 100 includes multiple layers of the flow strip 200, i.e. the flow strip 200 is arranged in multiple layers from top to bottom, and each layer of the flow strip 200 can be arranged to be limited by the stop mechanism 300. Further, each layer of the flow strip 200 can also be multiple. As shown, Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment, the flow strip 200 is formed into four layers of slides from top to bottom, wherein the top layer is a return material layer, and the three layers below the top layer are inclined arranged feeding layers. Each layer of the feeding layer has three mutually separated slides, and each slide is arranged with the stop member 330 near the outfeed end 102. The stop member 330 of each layer is connected to the same rotating shaft 320.
[0061] As shown, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The stop mechanism 300 further includes a connecting rod 360, and the crank shaft 340, the rotating shaft 320 and the stop member 330 are arranged in multiple along the vertical direction. The crank shaft 340 corresponds to the rotating shaft 320 one by one, and one or more stop members 330 are connected to one rotating shaft 320. The connecting rod 360 extends upward and downward and connects multiple crank shafts 340. That is, each layer of the flow strip 200 corresponds to one crank shaft 340 and one rotating shaft 320, and one or more stop members 330 can be arranged on each rotating shaft 320. The crank shafts 340 corresponding to the multiple layers of the flow strip 200 upward and downward are connected through the connecting rod 360. The docking push plate 310 can be arranged as one and connected to one of the crank shafts 340. When the docking push plate 310 moves under force, the connecting rod 360 drives the crank shafts 340, the rotating shafts 320 and the stop members 330 of each layer to move together.
[0062] In some embodiments of the utility model, the stop mechanism 300 further includes a connecting vertical rod 370 extending upward and downward, and multiple rotating shafts 320 are connected through the connecting vertical rod 370.
