Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of unloading devices, specifically to an unloading device for an automatic sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Automatic sorting machines are advanced logistics equipment that can automatically classify and distribute items according to preset rules. They are widely used in express delivery, e-commerce, logistics distribution centers and other fields, greatly improving sorting efficiency and accuracy and reducing labor costs. Compared with manual sorting, they are both efficient and accurate.
[0003] On an automated sorting machine, several goods can be automatically identified and pushed down for collection. When unloading goods, collection bags or collection boxes are usually installed on the side of the conveyor. After the goods are transported, they are pushed into the collection box by the baffle, thus achieving the purpose of unloading.
[0004] However, if some express delivery items are large or fragile, the impact force may be too great when pushing them into the collection box and dropping them into the box, thus easily causing damage to the express delivery items. Utility Model Content

The second motor is mounted on the side of the rotating rod, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the side of the drive screw. The moving block is threadedly connected to the drive screw, the mounting cover is fixedly mounted on the moving block, the first cylinder is mounted inside the mounting cover, and the gripper is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder.
[0010] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a support cover, a reciprocating screw, a motor, and a screw nut. The support cover is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate. The reciprocating screw is rotatably installed inside the support cover. The motor is installed on the support cover, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the top end of the reciprocating screw. The screw nut is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw.
[0011] Furthermore, the lifting assembly also includes a second support cover, a sliding rod, and a slider.

[0013] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, when sorting and unloading items, the items can be grabbed by the gripping component, and then the rotating component drives the rotating rod to rotate so that the gripper is directly above the collection box. Then, the lifting component drives the collection box to rise, so that the distance between the collection box and the items is shortened, and the impact force is reduced when placing them.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, when placing items into the collection box, several items can be placed separately on the partition plate by the layering component, thereby separating the items and avoiding contact to prevent collisions and damage between items;

[0027] In this embodiment, reference Figure 2 The gripping assembly includes a drive screw 201, a second motor 202, a moving block 203, a mounting cover 204, and a first cylinder 205. A through groove is provided on the rotating rod 4. The drive screw 201 is rotatably mounted in the through groove of the rotating rod 4. The second motor 202 is mounted on the side of the rotating rod 4, and the output end of the second motor 202 is fixedly connected to the side of the drive screw 201.

[0031] Working principle: When unloading items, the items are first placed on conveyor 1, which transports them. Then, motor 202 is started, and its output drives the drive screw 201 to rotate in the through groove of the rotating rod 4. This causes the moving block 203 to move back and forth on the drive screw 201. The moving block 203 then moves the mounting cover 204 and cylinder 205 back and forth to retrieve the items. Cylinder 205 is then started, causing the gripper 2 to descend and grab the items. After grabbing, motor 102 is started, and its output drives the rotating shaft 103 to rotate. The rotating shaft 103 then rotates the rotating rod 4, causing the gripper 2 and the items to rotate to the top of the collection box 5.
[0032] After rotation is complete, start motor 303. The output end of motor 303 drives the reciprocating screw 302 to rotate inside the support cover 301. The screw nut 304 moves up and down on the reciprocating screw 302, thereby driving the collection box 5 to rise and fall on the slide rod 306 and the reciprocating screw 302, so that the collection box 5 is close to the item. At this time, the partition plates 401 are all located on the outside of the collection box 5. Then, start cylinder 2 403. The output end of cylinder 2 403 drives the push frame 402. The push frame 402 drives the partition plate 401 to move into the collection box 5. Then start cylinder 205. The output end of cylinder 205 drives the gripper 2 and the item to move down, so that it is placed on the partition plate 401. Then repeat the above steps to place the item on several partition plates 401 in sequence.
[0033] It should be added that sensors and barcode scanners are installed on the gripper 2 and the rotating rod 4, so that corresponding gripping can be performed by scanning the barcode on the item.
[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
