Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics conveyor technology, specifically a curved conveyor for logistics sorting. Background Technology

[0002] Logistics conveyors are used in express sorting centers to classify and transport packages with different destinations, enabling efficient flow of packages from the receiving area to the sorting area and then to the shipping area, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of express sorting. In logistics sorting centers, the spatial layout is often very compact, and curved conveyors can be flexibly arranged in different areas to effectively utilize space, making the sorting system more compact and efficient.

[0003] However, existing technologies still have many defects in some similar structures when used in practice. For example, when a curved conveyor cannot complete the curved conveying task normally, the goods may have abnormal friction or collision with the sides, edges and other parts of the conveyor, which will damage the goods. At the same time, the goods need to flow in an orderly manner according to the predetermined route to ensure the efficient operation of the whole process. If the curved conveyor cannot guide the goods, they are very likely to accumulate at the curve, which will seriously slow down the overall logistics progress.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the inventors proposed a curved conveyor for logistics sorting to solve these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems of inconvenience in transporting goods along curved paths and inconvenience in guiding goods entering the conveyor, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a curved conveyor for logistics sorting.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the guiding device includes a support plate, a plurality of support rods arranged in a rectangular array are fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the support plate, a fixed frame is provided above the support plate, a fixed box is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support plate, a worm gear is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the fixed box, a second motor is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support plate, the output end of the second motor extends to the inner wall of the fixed box and is fixedly connected to the worm gear, a worm wheel is meshed with the outer surface of the worm gear, a second rotating shaft is fixedly sleeved inside the worm wheel, a support base is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed box, the outer surface of the second rotating shaft movably penetrates the support base, a rotating plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the second rotating shaft, and two guide plates are fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed frame.

[0008] With the above technical solution, the worm gear rotates, which drives the second shaft to rotate. The second shaft rotates, which in turn drives the rotating plate to rotate within the fixed frame. The outer surface of the rotating plate is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed frame, ensuring the stability of the rotation. When the rotating plate rotates, the slide bar slides in the annular groove, which plays a role in auxiliary support and guidance. As the rotating plate rotates, the fixed frame and the guide plate will also rotate accordingly. The guide plate can be adjusted at an angle as needed, which can effectively guide the goods entering the conveyor.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the roller is conical and the belt is curved.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the rotation of the roller will drive the belt to run stably on the curve.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer surface of the belt is in contact with the first arc plate and the second arc plate.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the first arc plate and the second arc plate play the role of supporting and restricting the position of the belt.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer surface of the rotating plate is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed frame.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, the rotating plate rotates within the inner wall of the fixed frame.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the bottom surface of the rotating plate is fixedly connected with a plurality of sliding rods, and the top surface of the support base is provided with an annular groove for use with the sliding rods.

[0016] With the above technical solution, when the rotating plate rotates, the slide bar slides in the annular groove, which plays a role in auxiliary support and guidance.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the guide plates are all arc-shaped.

[0018] Using the above technical solution, the goods move between the guide plates and onto the conveyor belt.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This utility model can transmit power to the first rotating shaft through a sprocket and a chain, so that the first rotating shaft starts to rotate. When the first rotating shaft rotates, it will drive the rollers to rotate synchronously. A belt is sleeved between the two rollers. The rotation of the rollers will drive the belt to run stably on the curve, thereby achieving the purpose of transporting goods on a curve.

[0021] This invention allows the rotating plate to rotate within the fixed frame when the second rotating shaft rotates. As the rotating plate rotates, the sliding rod slides within the annular groove, providing auxiliary support and guidance. With the rotation of the rotating plate, the goods move between the guide plates and onto the conveyor belt, thus achieving the purpose of guiding the goods entering the conveyor.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a curved conveyor for logistics sorting, including a support 1. A guide device 3 is provided on one side of the support 1. A transport device 4 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support 1. The transport device 4 includes a first arc plate 41 and a second arc plate 42. A first housing 43 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first arc plate 41, and a second housing 44 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second arc plate 42. Two first rotating shafts 45 are rotatably connected between the first arc plate 41 and the second arc plate 42. A roller 46 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 45. A belt 47 is sleeved between the rollers 46. The rollers 46 are conical, and the belt 47 is curved. The outer surface of the belt 47 is in contact with the first arc plate 41 and the second arc plate 42. A first motor 48 is fixedly connected to one side of the support 1. A sprocket 49 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 48 and the end of the first rotating shaft 45. A chain 40 is meshed between the sprockets 49.

[0030] The output of the first motor 48 drives the sprocket 49 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the sprocket 49 is connected to another sprocket 49 fixed at the end of the first shaft 45 through a chain 40, the power of the first motor 48 is transmitted to the first shaft 45 through the sprocket 49 and the chain 40, causing the first shaft 45 to start rotating. When the first shaft 45 rotates, it will drive the roller 46 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the roller 46 will drive the belt 47 to run stably on the curve, which can realize the curved transport of goods.

[0031] The guiding device 3 includes a support plate 301. Multiple support rods 302 arranged in a rectangular array are fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the support plate 301. A fixing frame 303 is provided above the support plate 301. A fixing box 304 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support plate 301. A worm gear 305 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the fixing box 304. A second motor 306 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support plate 301. The output end of the second motor 306 extends to the inner wall of the fixing box 304 and is fixedly connected to the worm gear 305. A worm wheel 307 is meshed with the outer surface of the worm gear 305. A second rotating shaft 308 is fixedly sleeved inside the 307. A support base 309 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed box 304. The outer surface of the second rotating shaft 308 movably passes through the support base 309. A rotating plate 310 is fixedly connected to the top of the second rotating shaft 308. The outer surface of the rotating plate 310 fits against the inner wall of the fixed frame 303. Multiple sliding rods 311 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the rotating plate 310. An annular groove 312 for use with the sliding rods 311 is opened on the top surface of the support base 309. Two guide plates 313 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed frame 303. Both guide plates 313 are arc-shaped.

[0032] When the worm gear 307 rotates, it drives the second rotating shaft 308 to rotate. When the second rotating shaft 308 rotates, it drives the rotating plate 310 to rotate within the fixed frame 303. The outer surface of the rotating plate 310 is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed frame 303, ensuring the stability of the rotation. When the rotating plate 310 rotates, the sliding rod 311 slides within the annular groove 312, playing a role in auxiliary support and guidance. As the rotating plate 310 rotates, the goods move between the guide plates 313 and enter the belt 47, which can effectively guide the goods entering the conveyor.

[0033] The working principle of a curved conveyor for logistics sorting according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the first arc plate 41 and the second arc plate 42 support and limit the position of the belt 47, and the first housing 43 and the second housing 44 provide protection. The first motor 48 is started, and the output end of the first motor 48 drives the sprocket 49 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the sprocket 49 is connected to another sprocket 49 fixed at the end of the first rotating shaft 45 through the meshing of the chain 40, the power of the first motor 48 is transmitted to the first rotating shaft 45 through the sprocket 49 and the chain 40, so that the first rotating shaft 45 starts to rotate. When the first rotating shaft 45 rotates, it will drive the roller 46 to rotate synchronously. The belt 47 is sleeved between the two rollers 46. The rotation of the roller 46 will drive the belt 47 to run stably on the curve, thereby achieving the purpose of curved conveying of goods.

[0034] The second motor 306 is started, and its output end drives the worm 305 to rotate. The worm 305 meshes with the worm wheel 307. The rotation of the worm 305 drives the worm wheel 307 to rotate. When the worm wheel 307 rotates, it drives the second rotating shaft 308 to rotate. When the second rotating shaft 308 rotates, it drives the rotating plate 310 to rotate within the fixed frame 303. The outer surface of the rotating plate 310 is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed frame 303 to ensure the stability of the rotation. When the rotating plate 310 rotates, the sliding rod 311 slides within the annular groove 312, which plays a role in auxiliary support and guidance. As the rotating plate 310 rotates, the goods move between the guide plates 313 and enter the belt 47, thereby achieving the purpose of effectively guiding the goods entering the conveyor.

[0035] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
