[0035] As Figure 1 shown, see Figure 7 , Figure 1 , Figure 2 andFigure 3 The utility model discloses an intelligent sorting device 1 can be used as cargo sorting, and the cargo can be various common shape's bottled beverage. Intelligent sorting device 1 includes frame 11, loading platform 121, conveying belt 122, lower goods platform 124, detector 125 and width adjusting device 126, the loading platform 121 is inclined downward, the conveying belt 122 is inclined upward, the lower end of conveying belt 122 with the lower end of loading platform 121 meets, the upper end of conveying belt 122 with the upper end of lower goods platform 124 meets, a plurality of goods support strips 123 along the width direction of conveying belt 122 is arranged at intervals on conveying belt 122, and a plurality of goods support pieces are arranged at intervals along the length direction of conveying belt 122, the detector 125 is used to detect the goods conveyed to lower goods platform 124,

[0036] Frame 11 includes oppositely arranged first side plate 112 and second side plate 113, and the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 are arranged on both sides of the loading platform 121, the conveying belt 122 and the lower goods platform 124 respectively, the width adjusting device 126 includes first motor 1261 and third side plate 1263 in transmission connection with the first motor 1261, the third side plate 1263 is arranged between the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113, and the first motor 1261 can drive the third side plate 1263 to make translational motion between the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113.

[0037] Specifically, frame 11 can include a main body frame 111 composed of a plurality of vertical rods and horizontal rods, the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 are arranged on the frame 11, and the space between the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 can be used to arrange the loading platform 121, the conveying belt 122 and the lower goods platform 124, the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 prevent the goods from falling out of the intelligent sorting device 1 from both sides of the loading platform 121, the conveying belt 122 and the lower goods platform 124 during the sorting process, avoid the goods from being damaged, also avoid the personnel from needing to collect the goods falling on the ground again, and ensure the sorting efficiency.

[0038] The detector 125 can be a grating sensor arranged on the first side plate 112 and / or the second side plate 113 on both sides of the lower goods platform 124, for detecting the number of goods passing through the lower goods platform 124, specifically, the detector 125 is arranged at the position of the upper end of the lower goods platform 124, so that it can feed the number information to the controller, and the controller can control the switch or power of the driving device of the conveying belt 122.

[0039] During the sorting of goods, the goods are put in from the upper entrance of the loading platform 121 and roll or slide onto the conveyor belt 122 by gravity. The conveyor belt 122 is driven by the drive device, and the goods support bar 123 is driven by the conveyor belt 122, so that the goods that slide onto the conveyor belt 122 are stuck on the goods support bar 123. With the goods support bar 123, the goods move from the lower end of the conveyor belt 122 to the upper end of the conveyor belt 122. The goods then enter the lower loading platform 124 from the upper end and roll or slide into the cargo box 4 below the lower loading platform 124. The goods support bar 123 continues to circulate with the conveyor belt 122.

[0040] The number of loading platforms 121, conveyor belts 122, unloading platforms 124, and detectors 125 can be set to multiple groups. One sorting channel includes one group of loading platforms 121, conveyor belts 122, unloading platforms 124, and detectors 125. For example... Figure 1 As shown, a single intelligent sorting device 1 can be equipped with three sets of loading platforms 121, conveyor belts 122, unloading platforms 124, and detectors 125 to form three sorting channels, which can be used to sort three different types of goods simultaneously. The three sets of loading platforms 121, conveyor belts 122, unloading platforms 124, and detectors 125 are spaced apart along the height of the frame 11. On the one hand, this saves floor space and reduces the footprint of the intelligent sorting device 1; on the other hand, it reduces the size of the cargo box 4 below the unloading platform 124. That is, when a cargo box 4 needs to be loaded with multiple goods on a single intelligent sorting device 1, the size of the cargo box 4 only needs to cover the lower end of the unloading platform 124. When sorting is carried out simultaneously in three sorting channels, the bottom sorting channel can be used to sort heavier goods, while the top sorting channel can be used to sort lighter goods. This avoids the heavy goods falling from the bottom of the unloading platform 124 when sorting is carried out simultaneously in multiple sorting channels, which would cause serious impact on the goods in the cargo box 4, reduce the probability of goods damage, and ensure the reliability of goods sorting quality.

[0041] To speed up the sorting efficiency, multiple goods (multiple goods are the same goods) can be placed at the same time at the upper end entrance of the loading table 121 of a sorting channel. To avoid more than two goods being clamped on the same goods support bar 123 at the same time, for example, two goods of the pop can type are clamped in the length direction of a goods support bar 123. The first motor 1261 of the width adjusting device 126 is controlled by the controller, which can automatically adjust the position of the third side plate 1263 between the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 according to the order to adjust the width of the sorting channel. Specifically, when the controller determines that the length of the goods to be sorted is A, the position of the third side plate 1263 is adjusted so that the distance between the third side plate 1263 and one of the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 is greater than or equal to A and less than 1.2A, ensuring that two goods cannot be conveyed side by side, thereby ensuring that two goods of the same length A cannot be clamped by a goods support bar 123 at the same time, so that the number of goods passing through the detection area of the detector 125 at the same time can only be one, improving the accuracy of the number of goods information obtained by the detector 125.

[0042] Specifically, the width adjusting device 126 further comprises a first push rod 1262 driven by the first motor 1261. The first motor 1261 is arranged on the outer side wall of the first side plate 112 or the second side plate 113, and the first push rod 1262 passes through the plate body of the first side plate 112 or the second side plate 113 from the outer side to the inner side. One end of the first push rod 1262 located on the inner side of the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 is connected with the third side plate 1263, so that the first motor 1261 can control the movement of the third side plate 1263 to adjust the position of the third side plate 1263 between the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113, thereby adjusting the effective loading width of the sorting channel. After adjustment, the channel between the third side plate 1263 and the first side plate 112 is taken as an example, the distance between the third side plate 1263 and the first side plate 112 is greater than or equal to A and less than 1.2A, at this time, the space between the third side plate 1263 and the second side plate 113 cannot be used as a sorting channel due to the existence of the first push rod 1262, thereby ensuring that a goods support bar 123 cannot clamp two goods in the length direction at the same time.

[0043] In an embodiment, the third side plate 1263 is arranged parallel to the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113, and the length of the third side plate 1263 is greater than or equal to the length of the loading table 121.

[0044] In the embodiment, the third side plate 1263 is arranged at least at the section of the upper loading platform 121. Since the goods need to pass through the upper loading platform 121 first to reach the conveying belt 122, the third side plate 1263 is arranged at the section of the upper loading platform 121 to adjust the effective loading width of the section of the upper loading platform 121, so that more than two goods cannot reach the lower end of the conveying belt 122 at the same time, and thus one goods supporting strip 123 can clamp one goods.

[0045] In an embodiment, the length of the third side plate 1263 is greater than the length of the upper loading platform 121 and less than or equal to the sum of the lengths of the upper loading platform 121 and the conveying belt 122.

[0046] In the embodiment, the length of the third side plate 1263 is greater than the length of the upper loading platform 121 and less than or equal to the sum of the lengths of the upper loading platform 121 and the conveying belt 122. That is, the third side plate 1263 is arranged at the section of the upper loading platform 121 and part or all of the section of the conveying belt 122. Since the third side plate 1263 is also arranged at the conveying area, it is ensured that if more than two goods reach the conveying belt 122 at the same time (for example, when a person at the upper end of the upper loading platform 121 accidentally drops multiple goods, and the force is too large, so that the goods jump over the section of the upper loading platform 121 and directly fall on the conveying belt 122), only one goods can be clamped in the length direction of the goods supporting strip 123 at the top end of the conveying belt 122, because if more than two goods are clamped, they cannot pass through the entire conveying area, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the quantity information obtained by the detector 125 at the area of the lower loading platform 124. Moreover, in the embodiment, the third side plate 1263 does not need to be arranged at the section of the lower loading platform 124, which reduces the production cost and further reduces the possibility of inaccurate quantity detection by the detector 125.

[0047] In an embodiment, a goods pushing wheel (not shown in the figure) is fixed above the joint between the conveying belt 122 and the lower loading platform 124. The goods pushing wheel includes a goods pushing wheel shaft and a plurality of goods pushing blades, which are uniformly fixed along the circumference of the goods pushing wheel shaft. A goods pushing motor is connected to the goods pushing wheel shaft, and is used to adjust the distance between the goods pushing wheel shaft and the conveying belt 122.

[0048] In the embodiment, in addition to the width adjusting device 126, a push wheel is arranged above the joint of the conveying belt 122 and the lower goods platform 124. When the multi-bottle stacked goods reach the top end of the conveying belt 122, the top goods will be pushed back by the push wheel, and the bottom of the push wheel only allows a single goods to pass. Thus, not only the goods passing through the top end of the conveying belt 122 has only one goods in the length direction of the goods supporting strip 123, but also has only one goods in the height direction perpendicular to the length direction of the goods supporting strip 123, so as to further improve the accuracy of the detector 125 in detecting the number of goods.

[0049] Referring to Figure 3 The embodiment of the utility model further provides a kind of intelligent sorting equipment, including conveying mechanism 2 and multiple above each embodiment provided intelligent sorting device 1;The conveying mechanism 2 includes the following track 21 being arranged in the lower goods platform 124 and several conveying trolleys 22 being arranged on the track 21, and the conveying trolley 22 can be used to load container 4.

[0050] Specifically, the track 21 is annular track 21. Multiple intelligent sorting devices 1 can be arranged closely or at a distance, and the number and position of container 4 on each conveying trolley 22 can correspond to the number and position of the adjacent intelligent sorting device 1, for example, if the intelligent sorting device 1 is arranged closely two by two, the container 4 on the conveying trolley 22 is two, and is arranged closely, when the preceding container 4 on a conveying trolley 22 is located below the preceding intelligent sorting device 1, the following container 4 is located below the following intelligent sorting device 1.

[0051] Referring to Figure 3 In an embodiment, the intelligent sorting equipment further includes a power device 24 and a second push rod 23, and the power device 24 controls the second push rod 23 to push the conveying trolley 22 to move forward.

[0052] Specifically, when multiple goods need to be loaded in each container 4, in addition to arranging multiple sets of upper goods platform 121, conveying belt 122, lower goods platform 124 and detector 125 on one intelligent sorting device 1, i.e. arranging multiple sorting tracks 21, multiple intelligent sorting devices 1 arranged in front and back can also be arranged, so as to improve the upper limit of the number of goods loaded in each container 4. Taking the example that three sorting tracks 21 are arranged on each intelligent sorting device 1, one product is sorted on each sorting track 21, if six intelligent sorting devices 1 are arranged, after the container 4 is unloaded in one intelligent sorting device 1, the power device 24 controls the second push rod 23 to push the conveying trolley 22 to move, so that the container 4 moves to the next intelligent sorting device 1, and then the container 4 can load eighteen products in one cycle. If six intelligent sorting devices 1 are arranged as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, two adjacent each other, each trolley is provided with two boxes 4, then a box 4 in a cycle can load nine kinds of products. And in the next cycle, the product type of each sorting track 21 can be adjusted, so that the same box 4 can load more kinds of products. That is, the track 21 can further improve the upper limit of the number of product types loaded in each box 4.

[0053] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in an embodiment, the intelligent sorting device further comprises a one-way rotation mechanism 25; the power device 24 and the second push rod 23 are arranged on one side of the track 21, the second push rod 23 is controlled by the power device 24 to do extension and retraction movement; the one-way rotation mechanism 25 is arranged on each of the conveying trolleys 22 and located on the side of the conveying trolley 22 close to the second push rod 23;

[0054] The one-way rotation mechanism 25 can be converted between a rotating state and a fixed state, when the one-way rotation mechanism 25 is converted from the fixed state to the rotating state, the one-way rotation mechanism 25 can only rotate in the direction of retraction movement of the second push rod 23; when the one-way rotation mechanism 25 is in the fixed state, the second push rod 23 does extension movement to push the one-way rotation mechanism 25 to push the conveying trolley 22 forward.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, the one-way rotation mechanism 25 comprises a fixed block 251, a rotating shaft 252, a rotating flat plate 253, a tension spring 254, a first fixed rod 255, a second fixed rod 256 and a rotating vertical plate 257; the fixed block 251 is fixedly connected to the conveying trolley 22 and faces the side of the conveying trolley 22 close to the second push rod 23, the rotating flat plate 253 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 251 through the rotating shaft 252, the rotating flat plate 253 is arranged in parallel with the plane where the track 21 is located, and the rotating shaft 252 is arranged perpendicular to the rotating flat plate 253; the first fixed rod 255 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 251, the second fixed rod 256 is fixedly connected to the rotating flat plate 253, one end of the tension spring 254 is connected to the first fixed rod 255, the other end of the tension spring 254 is connected to the second fixed rod 256, and the rotating vertical plate 257 is connected to the rotating flat plate 253 and arranged perpendicular to the second push rod 23; the tension spring 254 can be converted between an initial state and a stretched state, when the tension spring 254 is in the initial state, the one-way rotation mechanism 25 is in the fixed state; when the tension spring 254 is converted from the initial state to the stretched state, the one-way rotation mechanism 25 is converted from the fixed state to the rotating state.

[0056] The power device 24 can be a cylinder, which can control the second push rod 23 connected thereto to extend and retract. A plurality of conveying trolleys 22 are connected together through connecting members. The specific process in which the power device 24 and the second push rod 23 push the conveying trolleys 22 is as follows:

[0057] The one-way rotating mechanism 25 of the first conveying trolley 22 is arranged in front of the second push rod 23. The cylinder controls the second push rod 23 to extend, and the end of the second push rod 23 pushes the rotating vertical plate 257. At this time, the rotating mechanism is in a fixed state. Due to the action of the tension spring 254, the one-way rotating mechanism 25 can always remain in the fixed state during the process in which the end of the second push rod 23 pushes the rotating vertical plate 257, so that the second push rod 23 can push the first conveying trolley 22 to move forward. Since the plurality of conveying trolleys 22 are connected together through the connecting members, the subsequent conveying trolleys 22 are driven to move forward by the first conveying trolley 22. The second push rod 23 retracts. At the same time, the end of the one-way rotating mechanism 25 of the subsequent conveying trolley 22 away from the rotating vertical plate 257 is in contact with the end of the second push rod 23 or the cylinder, the tension spring 254 is stretched, the one-way rotating mechanism 25 is converted from the fixed state to the rotating state, and in this process, the one-way rotating mechanism 25 rotates in the direction in which the second push rod 23 retracts, so that the one-way rotating mechanism 25 of the second conveying trolley 22 moves to the front of the second push rod 23. Since the one-way rotating mechanism 25 of the second conveying trolley 22 is not in contact with the second push rod 23 at this time, the tension spring 254 returns to the initial state due to the elastic force, so that the one-way rotating mechanism 25 returns to the fixed state, and the second push rod 23 extends again to push the rotating vertical plate 257 of the one-way rotating mechanism 25 of the second conveying trolley 22, so that the rotating vertical plate 257 continues to move forward. In order to reduce the resistance of the one-way rotating mechanism 25 when the end thereof away from the rotating vertical plate 257 is in contact with the end of the second push rod 23 or the cylinder, a pulley can be arranged on the end of the rotating vertical plate 257 and the rotating horizontal plate away from the conveying trolley 22, which can slide along the axis of the cylinder or the second push rod 23.
