[0002] With the rapid growth of demand for fast-moving services, the express logistics industry has developed rapidly. Cross-belt sorting machines, as automated sorting equipment, are widely used in the field of e-commerce and express delivery. They are mostly circular or linear structures, with multiple grid chutes distributed on both sides of the main line of the sorting machine. Packages are transported along the main line of the sorting machine by transport trolleys. When a package is transported to the corresponding grid chute, the transport trolley rotates the belt to generate power to move the package out of the sorting main line and into the corresponding grid chute, thus completing the sorting of the package.

[0003] Currently, in order to better utilize the site space and maximize its utilization rate, continuous on-site testing is required during the initial design phase to find the optimal width of the grid groove. This means that the minimum width of the grid groove should have while ensuring that the package can smoothly enter the groove. However, since the existing grid groove widths are all fixed sizes, testing requires repeatedly replacing grid grooves of different widths, which necessitates frequent disassembly and installation, resulting in low testing efficiency and high labor intensity.

[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 7 It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this utility model. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this utility model and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0050] This utility model provides a grid groove with adjustable width, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a chute body 10 and a support 20. The chute body 10 is mounted on the support 20. Specifically, the chute body 10 includes a chute bottom plate 11, a first side plate 12, a second side plate 13, a first baffle 14, and a second baffle 15. The first side plate 12 is located on the left side of the chute bottom plate 11, and the first baffle 14 is located on the left side of the outlet end of the chute body 10. The first side plate 12 is connected to the first baffle 14. The second side plate 13 is located on the right side of the chute bottom plate 11, and the second baffle 15 is located on the right side of the outlet end of the chute body 10. The second side plate 13 is connected to the second baffle 15. Specifically, the first side plate 12 and the first baffle 14 can move relative to the chute bottom plate 11 along the width direction of the chute bottom plate 11.

[0051] The beneficial effects of this utility model's adjustable-width grid groove are: during use, such as Figure 1 As shown, when it is necessary to adjust the width of the chute body 10, the first side plate 12 and the first baffle 14 of the chute body 10 are moved so that the first side plate 12 and the first baffle 14 move in the width direction of the chute bottom plate 11, thereby adjusting the distance between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 13, and thus flexibly adjusting the width of the grid chute inlet end. It is no longer necessary to frequently replace grid chutes of different widths to test the optimal grid chute width, avoiding the time spent on frequent installation and disassembly of grid chutes, greatly improving the efficiency of testing the optimal width of grid chutes, and also greatly reducing labor intensity and labor costs.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, an upper guide rail 111 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the upper end of the slide base plate 11. The upper guide rail 111 extends along the width direction of the slide base plate 11. An upper pulley 112 is provided on the upper guide rail 111. A lower guide rail 113 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the lower end of the slide base plate 11. The lower guide rail 113 also extends along the width direction of the slide base plate 11. A lower pulley 114 is provided on the lower guide rail 113. A slide groove 115 extending along the width direction of the slide base plate is also provided at the lower end of the slide base plate 11. The lower pulley 114 is movably embedded in the slide groove 115. The first baffle 14 is connected to the lower pulley 114. The upper end of the first side plate 12 is connected to the upper pulley 112, and the lower end of the first side plate 12 is connected to the first baffle 14. When it is necessary to adjust the width of the chute body 10, the first side plate 12 can be pushed so that the upper end of the first side plate 12 slides along the upper guide rail 111. Since the lower end of the first side plate 12 is connected to the first baffle 14, the lower end of the first side plate 12 will be driven by the first baffle 14 to slide along the lower guide rail 113. Therefore, when the first side plate 12 is pushed to move closer to the second side plate 13 or away from the second side plate 13 to change the width interval between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 13, the first baffle 14 will also extend and retract with the width change between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 13 to adapt to the corresponding width change at the outlet end of the chute body. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to improve the smoothness of the movement of the first side plate 12 relative to the slide bottom plate 11, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, a universal ball 120 is provided in the middle of the first side plate 12, and the universal ball 120 contacts the surface of the slide bottom plate 11. With this structural design, when the first side plate 12 slides relative to the slide bottom plate 11, in addition to the upper end of the first baffle 12 sliding along the upper guide rail 111 via the upper pulley 112 and the lower end of the second baffle 12 sliding along the lower guide rail 113 via the lower pulley 114, the middle part of the first side plate 12 can also slide along the surface of the slide bottom plate 11 via the universal ball 120. This can prevent the middle part of the first side plate 12 from bending downwards and sticking to the surface of the slide bottom plate 11 due to its long length, thus preventing the first side plate 12 from moving inflexibly and smoothly.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, three universal balls 120 are provided in the middle of the first side plate 12, and the three universal balls 120 are spaced apart along the length direction of the first side plate 12.

[0055] Furthermore, to facilitate quick and easy reading of the adjusted width of the chute body, in some embodiments, a scale 110 can be provided at the upper end or lower end of the chute base plate 11. With this scale, after adjusting the position of the first side plate 12 relative to the second side plate 13, the width distance between them can be quickly read, i.e., the adjusted width of the chute body. Preferably, as... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a scale 110 is provided at both the upper end and the lower end of the slide base plate 11.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper guide rail 111 includes a first track 1111 and a second track 1112, with a set gap between the first track 1111 and the second track 1112. The upper pulley 112 includes a pulley body, with a left roller and a right roller rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the pulley body, respectively. The left roller is mounted on the first track, and the right roller is mounted on the second track. Specifically, the upper end of the first side plate 12 is provided with a downwardly extending connecting plate 121, and the pulley body is provided with a connecting rod 122. The connecting rod 122 extends downward through the set gap between the first track 1111 and the second track 1112 and connects to the connecting plate 121. A locking nut 1221 is threaded onto the connecting rod 122, and the locking nut 1221 is located below the upper guide rail 111. With this structural design, when the first side plate 12 is moved to the desired position, the locking nut 1221 can be tightened, so that the locking nut 1221 presses against the bottom surface of the upper guide rail 11. The upper pulley 112 is locked by the friction between the locking nut 1221 and the bottom surface of the upper guide rail 11 (i.e., the first track and the second track), thereby restricting the upper pulley 112 from rolling along the upper guide rail 11, thereby improving the stability of the first side plate 112 relative to the slide bottom plate 11 during the test operation.

[0057] To further improve the stability of the first side plate 12 relative to the bottom plate 11 of the groove during testing, preferably, as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, a locking component is provided on the first baffle 14. The locking component includes a C-shaped plate 141, which includes a vertical plate 1411, an upper plate 1412, and a lower plate 1413. The upper plate 1412 is connected to the upper end of the vertical plate 1411, and the lower plate 1413 is connected to the lower end of the vertical plate 1411. Specifically, a locking screw 142 is threaded onto the upper plate 1412. The locking screw 142 is located above the bottom of the first baffle 14, and the bottom of the locking screw 142 abuts against the bottom of the first baffle 14. The lower plate 1413 is located below the slide groove bottom plate 11. When it is necessary to lock the first side plate 12, the locking screw 142 is turned so that the bottom of the locking screw 142 is in tight contact with the bottom of the first baffle 14. While the locking screw 142 is turned downward to press against the bottom of the first baffle, the upper plate 1412, which is threadedly connected to the locking screw 142, will move upward relative to the lower plate 1413, thereby driving the lower plate 1413 to move upward as well. This will clamp the first baffle 14 and the slide bottom plate 11 between the locking screw 142 and the lower plate 1413, thereby restricting the movement of the first baffle 14 relative to the slide bottom plate 11.

[0058] To further improve the stability of the first side plate 12 relative to the chute bottom plate 11 during the test operation of the chute, a plurality of locking screws (not shown in the drawings) are threaded onto the first side plate 12, and these locking screws are in contact with the surface of the chute bottom plate 11. When it is necessary to lock the first side plate 12 to restrict its movement, the plurality of locking screws can be tightened so that the locking screws press against the surface of the chute bottom plate 11, thereby further locking the first side plate.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a full-scale sensor 101 is provided at the inlet end of the chute body 10. This full-scale sensor 101 is used to detect whether the chute is full. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the full-grid sensor 101 is located at the upper end of the second side plate 13. During operation, the full-grid sensor 101 is used to detect in real time whether the grid chute is full, that is, whether the grid chute is full of packages. When the full-grid sensor 101 detects that the grid chute is full, it sends a control signal to the sorting trolley corresponding to the grid chute to control the sorting trolley to stop sorting packages into the grid chute. Specifically, in this embodiment, the full-grid sensor 101 is an infrared sensor. Of course, in other optional embodiments, any other sensor can be selected for detection.

[0060] In summary, when testing the optimal grid groove width, the grid groove of this invention allows for flexible and convenient adjustment of the groove inlet width, eliminating the need for frequent replacement of grid grooves with different widths. This avoids the time spent on frequent installation and disassembly of the grid groove, significantly improving the efficiency of optimal grid groove width testing and greatly reducing labor intensity and costs. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies and possesses high industrial application value.

[0061] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
