[0002] With the rapid development of e-commerce, the variety and quantity of goods have exploded. Consumers have increasingly higher demands for the timeliness and accuracy of goods delivery. To meet the needs of rapidly processing massive orders, the logistics sorting process must be highly efficient and accurate. Traditional manual sorting methods are inefficient, unable to cope with the ever-increasing order volume, and prone to errors, which has spurred the emergence of logistics sorting and identification equipment.
[0003] For example, an existing patent (publication number: CN221311511 U) discloses a logistics sorting and identification device, including a conveyor and a conveyor belt installed inside the conveyor, and also includes a logistics sorting identification component. The logistics sorting identification component expands the adjustment range of the camera to adapt to the identification of various irregularly shaped items.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned logistics sorting and identification device still has some drawbacks in actual use: after the storage shell of the device is full, it cannot be automatically managed and needs to be replaced frequently by humans, which reduces sorting efficiency.
[0005] To address these issues, we designed a logistics sorting and identification device. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a logistics sorting and identification device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a logistics sorting and identification device, including a conveyor table. A linear guide motor is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor table. Multiple sliders are slidably connected to the outer wall of the linear guide motor. A collection box is threadedly connected to the side of the slider away from the linear guide motor. A base is connected to the bottom of the collection box. An infrared transmitter and a receiver are respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the collection box. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the infrared transmitter and the receiver. The fixing rod is fixedly installed on the top of the base. A conveyor belt is installed inside the conveyor table. A mounting shell is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor table. A camera is installed inside the mounting shell.
[0008] Furthermore, a crossbar is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the mounting housing, and an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the crossbar via a support. The output end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the camera.
[0009] Furthermore, a connector is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the conveyor table and the linear guide motor. One side of the conveyor table is connected to the linear guide motor through the connector. A fixed bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and the collection box is placed on top of the fixed bracket.
[0010] Furthermore, a protective box is fixedly connected to the top of the base. The protective box has an inner cavity, in which an indicator light, an electronic counter, and a buzzer are installed respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided on the top inner side of the mounting housing, and a lighting lamp is installed in the mounting groove.
[0012] Furthermore, a transition plate is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor platform near the collection box, and the transition plate, the collection box, and the top of the conveyor platform are flush.
[0013] Furthermore, the slider is made of aluminum alloy, and both the slider and the collection box have threaded holes with bolts threaded into them.
[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the conveyor platform is welded with four support legs in a rectangular shape, and a pushing component is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor platform away from the collection box.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a logistics sorting and identification device, including a conveyor table 1. A linear guide motor 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor table 1. Multiple sliders 6 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the linear guide motor 5. A collection box 8 is threadedly connected to the side of the sliders 6 away from the linear guide motor 5. A base 10 is connected to the bottom of the collection box 8 to increase the stability of the bottom of the device. An infrared transmitter 12 and a receiver 13 are respectively arranged on the top two sides of the collection box 8. The infrared transmitter 12 and the receiver 13 cooperate with each other to detect whether the collection box 8 is full. The receiver 13 is connected to a first controller through a first signal line. The first controller is connected to the driver of the linear guide motor 5. The first controller sends different control signals to control the forward and reverse rotation of the linear guide motor 5. A fixing rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the infrared transmitter 12 and the receiver 13 to fix the infrared transmitter 12 and the receiver 13 and ensure that their relative positions are accurate, thereby monitoring the filling status of the collection box 8. The fixed rod 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 10. The conveyor belt 2 is installed inside the conveyor platform 1. The mounting housing 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor platform 1. The camera 21 is installed inside the mounting housing 3. The camera 21 is connected to the image processing system through the Ethernet interface. When it captures the image information of the items on the conveyor belt 2, it transmits it to the subsequent image processing system. By analyzing the image, the category of the items is determined and the items are sorted into the collection box 8.
[0026] In practice, when the inside of the collection box 8 is full, the receiver 13 cannot receive infrared light due to the obstruction of the items. At this time, the receiver 13 transmits the signal to the controller. The controller sends an instruction to the driver of the linear guide motor 5 according to the preset program. The driver controls the linear guide motor 5 to move the slider 6 to the right by one station, so that the full collection box 8 is moved away and the empty collection box 8 enters the monitoring area.
[0027] See Figure 1-3 As shown, a crossbar 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the mounting housing 3. An electric telescopic rod 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the crossbar 18 via a support. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 19 is connected to the camera 21. The electric telescopic rod 19 can adjust the height of the camera 21 according to the size of the item so as to better capture the feature information of the item and improve the accuracy of sorting and identification.
[0028] See Figure 1 A connector 4 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the conveyor table 1 and the linear guide motor 5. One side of the conveyor table 1 is connected to the linear guide motor 5 through the connector 4. A fixed bracket 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 10. The fixed bracket 9 consists of a support plate and a support column fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate. The collection box 8 is placed on the top of the fixed bracket 9, and the fixed bracket 9 provides support for the collection box 8.
[0029] See Figure 1 A protective box 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 10. The protective box 14 has an inner cavity, in which an indicator light 15, an electronic counter 16, and a buzzer 17 are installed. A receiver 13 is electrically connected to the counting input terminal of the electronic counter 16 via a second signal line. When the receiver 13 fails to receive infrared light for the second time, it indicates that two collection boxes 8 are full and the electronic counter 16 has reached its set value. The electronic counter 16 is connected to a second controller via the second signal line, and the second controller is connected to the drive circuits of the indicator light 15 and the buzzer 17. The second controller sends an activation command to the drive circuits of the indicator light 15 and the buzzer 17 according to the program, and the indicator light 15 and the buzzer 17 provide visual and audible cues, respectively.
[0030] See Figure 3 An installation slot is provided on the top inner side of the housing 3, and an illumination lamp 20 is installed in the installation slot. During the sorting and identification process, the illumination lamp 20 provides light so that the camera 21 can capture the details of the items and improve the accuracy of sorting and identification.
[0031] See Figure 1 A transition plate 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor platform 1 near the collection box 8. The transition plate 22, the collection box 8, and the top of the conveyor platform 1 are flush. The transition plate 22 fills any gaps that may exist between the conveyor platform 1 and the collection box 8, allowing items to smoothly transition from the conveyor platform 1 into the collection box 8. (See reference...) Figure 1-4 The slider 6 is made of aluminum alloy. Both the slider 6 and the collection box 8 have threaded holes, and bolts 7 are connected to the threads inside the threaded holes.
[0032] See Figure 1-2 The bottom of the conveyor 1 is rectangularly distributed with four support legs 23 welded on, which are used to support the entire logistics sorting and identification equipment, reduce the tipping or shaking of the equipment, and facilitate the normal operation of the equipment. A push assembly 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor 1 away from the collection box 8. The push assembly 24 includes a connecting seat, an electric push rod fixedly connected to the top of the connecting seat, and a push plate connected to the output end of the electric push rod, which is used to push the sorted items into the collection box 8.
[0033] Operating Principle: During use, the device is connected to an external power source. The collection box 8 is fixed to the slider 6 using bolts 7 and placed on the base 10, within the monitoring area of the infrared transmitter 12 and receiver 13. The conveyor belt 2 is activated, and items are transported via it to the area below the mounting housing 3. The camera 21 is adjusted to a suitable height using the electric telescopic rod 19. Under the illumination of the lighting lamp 20, the camera 21 captures images of the items on the conveyor belt 2 and transmits the image information to the image processing system via an Ethernet interface. The images are then analyzed to determine the category of the items.
[0034] After receiving the signal from the image processing system, the No. 1 controller controls the electric push rod to push the sorted items through the transition plate 22 and slide them into the collection box 8. During the collection process, the infrared transmitter 12 continuously emits infrared rays, and the receiver 13 receives the infrared signals. When the collection box 8 is full and blocks the infrared rays, the receiver 13 cannot receive infrared rays and transmits the signal to the No. 1 controller through the first signal line. The No. 1 controller sends a command to the driver of the linear guide motor 5 according to the preset program. The driver controls the linear guide motor 5 to move the slider 6, shifting the full collection box 8 horizontally to the right by one station, and moving the next empty collection box 8 into the monitoring area to continue receiving items. At the same time, the receiver 13 transmits the full box signal to the electronic counter 16 through the second signal line for counting.
[0035] When the electronic counter 16 counts twice, indicating that two collection boxes 8 are full and moved to the right side of the monitoring area, the electronic counter 16 transmits a signal to the second controller via the second signal line. The second controller sends an activation command to the drive circuits of the indicator light 15 and the buzzer 17 according to the program. The indicator light 15 illuminates, and the buzzer 17 sounds to alert the operator. After the operator replaces the collection box 8 with an empty one, the second controller sends a deactivation command to the drive circuits of the indicator light 15 and the buzzer 17, resetting the electronic counter 16 to zero. During the replacement of the full collection box 8, the conveyor belt continues to transport items, and the camera 21, image processing system, and push assembly 24 continue to sort the items. When the third collection box 8 is full, the first controller controls the linear guide motor 5 to move the full collection box 8 and the two empty collection boxes 8 on the right side two positions to the left, returning the empty collection box 8 to the monitoring area.
