Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of express delivery and sorting technology, and in particular to an automatic sorting and guiding separation device for express parcels. Background Technology

[0002] Today, express parcels, characterized by small batches, multiple shipments, and rapid delivery, meet consumers' demand for quick access to goods after online shopping. With the rapid growth of express parcel volume, traditional manual sorting methods are no longer sufficient. As a result, automated parcel sorting and guiding devices have been created. These devices can quickly and accurately read the destination, size, and weight information on express parcels and guide different parcels to their corresponding sorting ports or storage areas, thereby achieving fast and accurate parcel sorting.

[0003] However, the guiding and separating structure of automated parcel sorting and separating devices is fixed, making it difficult to flexibly handle parcels of different sizes and shapes. For parcels that are too large, too small, too long, too flat, or irregularly shaped, they cannot be accurately guided and separated, leading to sorting errors or parcel jamming. The existing solution is to use adjustable-width separators, which are set above the sorting conveyor belt with adjustable supports at both ends. The width between the separators is adjusted according to the width of the items. However, while adjustable separators can adapt to parcels of different widths to a certain extent, they still cannot effectively guide and separate parcels with particularly irregular shapes. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic sorting and guiding separation device for express parcels, which aims to improve the problem that the adjustable separator in the prior art cannot guide and separate irregular parcels.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an automatic sorting and guiding device for express parcels, comprising a sorting machine tool and a carrier shell. A groove is formed at the bottom of the carrier shell, and a transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the transmission assembly. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block. A hanger is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod. Electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the hanger. Clamping plates are threaded onto adjacent sides of the two electric telescopic rods. Multiple elastic rubbers are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the two clamping plates. A conveying assembly is fixedly connected to the top right side of the sorting machine tool. Sorting slides are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the sorting machine tool. Storage boxes are slidably connected to the opposite sides of the front and rear sorting slides. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the carrier shell, and a scanning mechanism is provided at the bottom of the horizontal plate. The scanning mechanism is used for rapid and continuous scanning of express parcels.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The scanning mechanism includes a barcode scanner, the top of which is fixed to the bottom of the horizontal plate. A protective shell is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate. A light-transmitting hole is opened at the bottom of the protective shell. An observation window is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the light-transmitting hole. A buzzer alarm is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer wall of the protective shell. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the protective shell. Two soft brushes are fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] A control console is fixedly connected to the front side of the sorting machine, and a control panel is fixedly connected to the top of the control console.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] Each of the adjacent sides of the front and rear storage boxes is fixedly connected to a sliding column, and each of the opposite sides of the front and rear sorting slides is provided with a chute.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The bottom of the sorting machine tool and the bottom of the sorting slides on the front and rear sides are all fixedly connected with multiple support legs, and the bottom of the multiple support legs in the middle is fixedly connected with anti-slip pads.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] Each of the adjacent sides of the middle support leg is fixedly connected to a triangular support member, and the surfaces of the multiple triangular support members are all polished.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The top front and rear sides of the sorting machine tool are fixedly connected with baffles, and the baffles on the front and rear sides are symmetrically distributed relative to the conveying assembly.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] Multiple guide rollers are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the front and rear baffles, and the distance between the left and right guide rollers is the same.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, the transmission assembly is activated via the control panel, allowing the hanger connected to the bottom of the connecting block to move back and forth. Through the extension of the two electric telescopic rods, the elastic rubber on the clamping plate can conform to the express package and clamp it stably. Furthermore, the clamping plate can be quickly replaced after the elastic rubber is damaged due to prolonged use, making the clamping plate suitable for all irregularly shaped packages, increasing the applicability of the equipment, reducing machine downtime, and improving production efficiency.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, after the express package is conveyed by the conveying component, the location information of the express package can be monitored in real time by the scanning mechanism. The protective shell can prevent dust from interfering with the barcode scanner. When the barcode scanner monitors the information of the express package through the observation window, the servo motor is activated to make the soft brush clean the bottom of the observation window, thus avoiding dust accumulation from interfering with the barcode scanner's field of vision.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic sorting and guiding separation device for express parcels, including a sorting machine tool 1 and a carrier shell 2. A groove 4 is formed at the bottom of the carrier shell 2, providing space for a transmission component 5. The transmission component 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 4. The transmission component 5 enables a connecting block 6 to move back and forth to sort the express parcels. A connecting block 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the transmission component 5, serving as a connection between the transmission component 5 and an electric telescopic rod 7. The bottom of the connecting block 6 is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic rod 7, enabling a hanging frame 8 to move up and down. The bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 7 is fixedly connected to the hanging frame 8, which supports two electric telescopic rods 9. Electric telescopic rods 9 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the hanging frame 8, allowing a clamping plate 10 to pick up and sort the express parcels via the two electric telescopic rods 9. Clamping devices are threaded onto adjacent sides of the two electric telescopic rods 9. The two clamping plates 10 are fixedly connected to each other on their adjacent sides by multiple elastic rubbers 11. The multiple elastic rubbers 11 enable irregularly shaped express parcels to be better guided and separated when they are clamped. The top right side of the sorting machine tool 1 is fixedly connected to a conveying component 12, which is used to convey express parcels. The front and rear sides of the sorting machine tool 1 are fixedly connected to sorting slides 13, which are used to convey sorted express parcels. The opposite sides of the front and rear sorting slides 13 are slidably connected to a storage box 14, which is used to store sorted express parcels. The right side of the bearing shell 2 is fixedly connected to a horizontal plate 22, which is used to provide support for the scanning mechanism 3. The bottom of the horizontal plate 22 is provided with a scanning mechanism 3, which is used to scan express parcels quickly and continuously. The adjacent sides of the front and rear storage boxes 14 are fixedly connected to sliding columns 24. The opposite sides of the front and rear sorting slides 13 are provided with grooves 23.

[0033] Specifically, after the equipment is started, the scanning mechanism 3 registers the information of the express package. The transmission component 5 adjusts the position of the connecting block 6, aligning the middle of the hanger 8 with the express package. Then, the electric telescopic rod 7 lowers the hanger 8. After the two electric telescopic rods 9 align with the middle of the express package, the length of the two electric telescopic rods 9 is extended. The elastic rubber 11 on one side of the two clamping plates 10 connected to the top of the two electric telescopic rods 9 is then tightly fitted to the express package. The height of the electric telescopic rod 7 is readjusted. Based on the express package information registered by the scanning mechanism 3, the express package is classified and transferred via the transmission component 5, allowing the express package to pass through smoothly. After being separated into the front or rear sorting chute 13, the package falls into the front or rear storage box 14. Because the storage box 14 and the sorting chute 13 are slidably connected through the chute 23 and the sliding column 24, the storage box 14 can be prevented from falling into the storage box 14 due to excessive force and shifting of the storage box 14 after the connection is completed. Moreover, the connection between the storage box 14 and the sorting chute 13 can be disconnected when the box is full, which increases the practicality and convenience of the equipment. Furthermore, when the elastic rubber 11 is damaged due to long-term use, the connection between the electric telescopic rod 2 9 and the clamping plate 10 is a threaded connection, which allows the clamping plate 10 to be easily removed and replaced, reducing machine downtime for repairs and improving production efficiency.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The scanning mechanism 3 includes a barcode scanner 301, which is used to register information on express parcels that are about to be sorted, so that the information of the express parcels can be grasped. The top of the barcode scanner 301 is fixed to the bottom of the horizontal plate 22, and a protective shell 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 22. The protective shell 302 prevents the barcode scanner 301 from being interfered with by dust accumulation. A light-transmitting hole 303 is opened at the bottom of the protective shell 302. The light-transmitting hole 303 is a light-transmitting component, and an observation window 304 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the light-transmitting hole 303. The scanning mechanism 304 allows the barcode scanner to pass through the observation window 304. The barcode scanner 301 can scan express packages while avoiding dust interference. A buzzer alarm 305 is fixedly connected to the front of the outer wall of the protective shell 302. If the barcode scanner 301 fails to scan the express information, the express package will be moved away. The buzzer alarm 305 will remind the staff. A servo motor 306 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the protective shell 302. Two soft brushes 307 are fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 306. The servo motor 306 and the two soft brushes 307 are used to clean the observation window 304 to avoid dust interference.

[0035] Specifically, after the express package is transferred to the area directly below the scanning mechanism 3 via the conveyor component 12, the barcode scanner 301 scans the QR code on the express package, registers various information about the express package, and transmits the results to the control panel 16. To prevent the barcode scanner 301 from being exposed to the air for a long time, and to prevent dust and moisture in the air from interfering with and damaging the precision parts inside the barcode scanner 301, a protective shell 302 is used to protect the barcode scanner 301. The barcode scanner 301 scans and registers the express package through the observation window 304 installed at the bottom of the protective shell 302. In order to prevent the express package from being moved away before the QR code information is registered due to the excessively fast conveying speed, a buzzer alarm 305 installed on the front of the protective shell 302 can remind the staff to re-register the express package. When dust accumulates at the bottom of the observation window 304 due to prolonged exposure to the outside, the servo motor 306 is activated to rotate the soft brush 307 to clean the exposed side of the observation window 304, so as to avoid affecting the normal operation of the barcode scanner 301.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A control console 15 is fixedly connected to the front of the sorting machine tool 1. A control panel 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the control console 15. The control panel 16 is used to control the barcode scanner 301, servo motor 306, transmission assembly 5, electric telescopic rod 1 7, electric telescopic rod 2 9, and conveying assembly 12. Multiple support legs 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sorting machine tool 1 and the bottom of the front and rear sorting slides 13. Anti-slip pads 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple support legs 18 in the middle. The anti-slip pads 19 are used to prevent the equipment from shifting when sorting and guiding express packages, thereby improving the safety of the machine. The adjacent support legs 18 in the middle are... Triangular support members 17 are fixedly connected to each side. The surfaces of the multiple triangular support members 17 are all polished. The multiple triangular support members 17 are used to improve the safety of the support legs 18 and the stability of the equipment. Baffles 20 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the top of the sorting machine tool 1. The baffles 20 are used to prevent express packages from falling off the side of the conveying component 12 during the conveying process. The front and rear baffles 20 are symmetrically distributed relative to the conveying component 12. Multiple guide rollers 21 are fixedly connected to the adjacent side of the front and rear baffles 20. The multiple guide rollers 21 are used to reduce the friction between the express packages and the baffles 20 when they move. The distance between the left and right guide rollers 21 is the same.

[0037] Specifically, before the express parcels are sorted, the control panel 16 controls each component. During operation, the equipment will shake due to the transfer of the parcels. The anti-slip pads 19 at the bottom of the support legs 18 increase the friction between the equipment and the ground to prevent the equipment from shifting due to shaking. The triangular support 17 can increase the connection between the support legs 18 and the sorting machine tool 1, improving the stability of the support legs 18. When the express parcels move on the conveyor assembly 12, the front and rear side baffles 20 can block the express parcels to prevent them from falling due to accidents. At the same time, the multiple guide rollers 21 fixed on one side of the two baffles 20 can reduce the friction between the express parcels and the baffles 20, allowing the express parcels to move smoothly under the scanning mechanism 3.

[0038] Working principle: After the scanning mechanism 3 reads and registers the information of the express package, the control panel 16 controls the connecting block 6 to move back and forth according to the read information, so that the middle of the hanging frame 8 connected below is aligned with the express package. Then, the electric telescopic rod 7 controls the hanging frame 8 to move downward, so that the two electric telescopic rods 9 can be aligned with the middle of the express package. The two electric telescopic rods 9 are extended so that the two clamping plates 10 come into contact with the express package, and the elastic rubber 11 can be tightly attached to the outer surface of the express package. Because the elastic rubber 11 is a soft structure, it can still guide and separate the package when facing a package with a particularly irregular shape. After clamping the package, the electric telescopic rod 7 is shortened to move the package away from the ground. Then, the package is sorted according to the package information recorded by the scanning mechanism 3, and the package is transferred to the front or rear sorting slide 13 through the transmission component 5, thus completing the automatic sorting, guiding and separating of the express package.

[0039] Furthermore, when the scanning mechanism 3 scans express parcels, the barcode scanner 301 of the scanning mechanism 3 is protected by the protective shell 302 to prevent the barcode scanner 301 from being damaged by dust and moisture due to long-term exposure to the outside environment. The barcode scanner 301 scans and registers the passing express parcels through the observation window 304 installed on the outer wall of the light-transmitting hole 303. If the information of an express parcel is not registered due to an accident, the buzzer alarm 305 can remind the staff to avoid missing express parcel information and increase the safety and reliability of the equipment. When dust accumulates on the surface of the observation window 304, the servo motor 306 is controlled to make two soft brushes 307 clean the observation window 304 to avoid affecting the normal operation of the barcode scanner 301. The soft brushes 307 can also reduce the scratches on the surface of the observation window 304.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
