Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting systems, and in particular to a sorting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In existing sorting systems, the loading and sorting mechanisms are arranged separately. This layout requires a large area for the sorting process. Because the loading and sorting processes are separated, workers must frequently move materials between the two mechanisms during material flow. The number of moves is quite high, and the distances covered each time are also considerable. As a result, workers experience extreme labor intensity during prolonged periods of high-intensity work. Furthermore, the cumbersome workflow caused by this unreasonable layout results in low sorting efficiency, failing to meet the demands of modern, high-efficiency production and hindering the improvement of the company's production efficiency and overall operational effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem of existing feeding and sorting mechanisms being arranged separately, resulting in a large footprint. This invention provides a sorting mechanism that can switch between a first state (i.e., sorting state) and a second state (i.e., feeding state) in different working stages. This integrated design improves the utilization rate of site space and avoids the space waste caused by the separation of mechanisms.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an embodiment of this utility model discloses a sorting mechanism, the sorting mechanism comprising:

[0005] A first conveyor extends along a first direction and operates along the first direction;

[0006] A second conveyor extends along the first direction, and the direction of operation of the second conveyor is opposite to that of the first conveyor.

[0007] A telescopic conveyor extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;

[0008] A chute extending along a third direction, one end of which is connected to the first conveying member, the chute including a through hole, the third direction intersecting the second direction;

[0009] A flipping component is disposed in the through hole, and the flipping component is rotatable about the first direction as an axial direction, so that the sorting mechanism switches between a first state and a second state; wherein...

[0010] In the first state, the telescopic conveyor is in a retracted state, the flipping member covers the through hole and is located on the same plane as the slide groove;

[0011] In the second state, the telescopic conveyor is in an extended state and connected to the other end of the chute, while the flipping component is in an open state and exposes the through hole.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, when the sorting mechanism is in its first state, i.e., the sorting state, the flipping component covers the through hole, meaning the flipping component is in a closed state, and the chute and the flipping component combine to form a complete working surface. The first conveyor transports external goods to the chute, and the external goods slide from the top of the chute to the bottom of the chute, where workers perform sorting operations.

[0013] After the staff finishes sorting the goods, the sorting mechanism is switched to the second state, i.e., the loading state. At this time, the tilting component rotates axially in the first direction. During the rotation, the previously covered through holes are gradually exposed, indicating that the tilting component has now turned open. Next, the telescopic conveyor begins to extend and protrude from the through holes until it connects with the other end of the chute (i.e., the bottom of the chute). Then, the staff places the sorted goods onto the telescopic conveyor, which then begins to operate, transferring the goods to the second conveyor, and subsequently to the next process step.

[0014] The sorting mechanism of this technical solution can switch between the first state (sorting state) and the second state (loading state) in different working stages. This integrated design improves the utilization rate of site space and avoids the space waste caused by the dispersion of mechanisms. At the same time, due to the combination of loading and sorting, the number of manual handling operations is greatly reduced, and the handling distance is also shortened accordingly, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers during the work process.

[0015] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the sorting mechanism includes a support and a first driving member. Along the direction of gravity, the support is disposed below the chute, and one end of the first driving member is connected to the support.

[0016] One end of the flipping component includes a rotating shaft, both ends of which are connected to the bracket; the other end of the first driving component is connected to the middle portion of the flipping component; wherein,

[0017] The first driving member is used to drive the flipping member to rotate in the opposite direction with the first direction as the axis, so that the sorting mechanism switches from the first state to the second state;

[0018] The first driving member is used to drive the flipping member to rotate in the first direction as the axial direction, so that the sorting mechanism switches from the second state to the first state.

[0019] Using the above technical solution, when the sorting mechanism switches from the first state to the second state, the first driving member drives the flipping member to rotate in the opposite direction around the rotation axis with the first direction as the axis, slowly opening until the through hole is exposed.

[0020] When the sorting mechanism switches from the second state to the first state, the first driving member drives the flipping member to rotate around the rotation axis in the first direction as the axial direction, slowly closing until the through hole is covered.

[0021] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the first driving member includes a limit sensor, which is used to stop the first driving member from extending when it reaches a set length.

[0022] Using the above technical solution, the first driving member drives the flipping member to rotate around the rotation axis in the first direction as the axis. When it opens slowly, when the first driving member extends to the first set length, such as 45cm, the first driving member stops extending, so that the flipping member remains in the open state.

[0023] The first driving member drives the flipping member to rotate around the rotation axis in the first direction. When it slowly closes, when the first driving member shortens to a second set length, such as 5cm, the first driving member stops shortening, so that the flipping member remains in the closed state.

[0024] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the first driving component is a cylinder.

[0025] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the sorting mechanism includes a second driving member, which is used to drive the telescopic conveyor to extend or retract along the second direction.

[0026] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the sorting mechanism includes an operating surface, which is connected to the other end of the chute. The operating surface extends along the first direction and is used for external workers to perform operations.

[0027] In the second state, the telescopic conveyor is in contact with the operating surface.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up an operating surface, when the sorting mechanism is in the first state, i.e. the sorting state, the first conveyor will transport the goods from the outside to the chute. The goods from the outside will slide down from one end of the chute (i.e. the top of the chute) to the operating surface so that the staff can perform sorting operations on the goods.

[0029] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the sorting mechanism includes a limiting member, the center of gravity end of the limiting member is connected to the bracket, and the limiting member is located on both sides of the through hole;

[0030] In the first state, along the direction of gravity, the limiting member is located below the flipping member;

[0031] In the second state, the limiting member protrudes from the slide groove, and the limiting member defines a limiting channel, which is used to limit the movement of external goods in the second direction.

[0032] Using the above technical solution, when the sorting mechanism is in the second state and the goods are being conveyed on the telescopic conveyor, the goods may fall from the gap between the telescopic conveyor and the chute. Therefore, a limiting component is set to define a limiting channel and limit the direction of the goods to the second direction to prevent the goods from falling from the gap.

[0033] When the sorting mechanism switches from the first state to the second state, the first drive unit drives the flipping component to rotate slowly in the first direction as the axis to open. At this time, because the center of gravity end of the limiting component is connected to the support, the other end (i.e., the free end) of the limiting component will naturally lift up after being released from the state of being pressed by the flipping component. After the other end of the limiting component lifts up, it can just fill the gap between the telescopic conveyor and the chute, thereby preventing goods from accidentally falling out of the gap.

[0034] When the sorting mechanism switches from the second state to the first state, the first drive unit is activated again, driving the tilting component to rotate slowly in the first direction to close. As the tilting component gradually closes, the free end of the limiting component, which was originally raised, will come into contact with the gradually approaching tilting component. As the tilting component continues to rotate and close, the limiting component is subjected to the force applied by the tilting component, and is thus slowly pressed down, eventually located below the tilting component, waiting for the next state switch of the sorting mechanism.

[0035] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the first conveying member includes a plurality of sorting sections and sensors arranged at intervals along the first direction. The sensors are used for the sorting sections to contact the chute, and the sorting sections to run along the second direction. When the sorting sections do not contact the chute, the sorting sections are stationary.

[0036] Using the above technical solution, when the sorting unit contacts the chute, the sorting unit begins to move along the second direction, ensuring that the goods carried on the sorting unit are smoothly transferred to the chute, thereby realizing the orderly flow of goods between different components. When the sorting unit and the chute are not in contact, the sorting unit remains stationary. At this time, the goods on the sorting unit can still follow the predetermined running direction of the first conveyor, that is, the first direction, and continue to be conveyed, maintaining the normal transportation of goods on the original conveying path.

[0037] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the first conveyor is a cross-belt sorting machine, the second conveyor is a belt, and the telescopic conveyor is a telescopic belt.

[0038] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, in the second state, the angle between the extension direction of the flipping member and the horizontal direction is 5° to 15°.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the angle between the extension direction of the tilting component and the horizontal direction is set to 5° to 15°, ensuring that the tilting component is not in a dangerous state horizontal to the operator's normal operating plane. This prevents operators from accidentally bumping into the tilting component and getting injured while sorting or loading goods. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment based on the specific circumstances.

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This application provides a sorting mechanism, which includes a first conveyor 10, a second conveyor 20, a telescopic conveyor 30, a chute 40, and a flipping component 50.

[0059] The first conveyor 10 is rectangular, extends along a first direction X, and moves along the first direction X. The second conveyor 20 is rectangular, extends along the first direction X, and moves in the opposite direction to the first conveyor 10. The telescopic conveyor 30 is rectangular, extends along a second direction Y, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0060] The chute 40 is rectangular and extends along the third direction Z. One end of the chute 40 is connected to the first conveyor 10. The chute 40 includes a through hole 41, which is rectangular and intersects the third direction Z with the second direction Y. The flipping member 50 is rectangular and is disposed in the through hole 41. The flipping member 50 can rotate about the first direction X as the axial direction, so that the sorting mechanism can switch between the first state and the second state. The specific value of the first included angle α1 between the third direction Z and the second direction Y is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The value of the first included angle α1 can be 30°, 36°, 43°, etc., and the specific value of the first included angle α1 is determined by the actual working conditions.

[0061] In the first state, the telescopic conveyor 30 is in a retracted state, the flipping member 50 covers the through hole 41 and is located on the same plane as the slide 40.

[0062] In the second state, the telescopic conveyor 30 is in an extended state and connected to the other end of the slide 40, while the flipping member 50 is in an open state and exposes the through hole 41.

[0063] Using the above technical solution, when the sorting mechanism is in its first state, i.e., the sorting state, the flipping component 50 covers the through hole 41, meaning the flipping component 50 is in a closed state, and the chute 40 and the flipping component 50 combine to form a complete working surface. The first conveyor 10 conveys external goods to the chute 40, where the goods slide from the top to the bottom of the chute 40, and the workers perform sorting operations on the goods.

[0064] After the staff completes the sorting of goods, the sorting mechanism is switched to the second state, namely the loading state. At this time, the flipping component 50 rotates around the first direction X as the axis. During the rotation, the previously covered through hole 41 is gradually exposed, indicating that the flipping component 50 has now turned into an open state. Immediately afterwards, the telescopic conveyor 30 begins to gradually extend and protrude from the through hole 41 until it connects with the other end of the chute 40 (i.e., the bottom of the chute 40). Subsequently, the staff places the goods on the telescopic conveyor 30, which then begins to work, conveying the goods to the second conveyor 20, and then to the next process. The aforementioned goods can be the sorted goods mentioned above, or goods that have been sorted elsewhere and transported to the vicinity of the sorting mechanism.

[0065] The sorting mechanism of this technical solution can switch between the first state (sorting state) and the second state (loading state) in different working stages. This integrated design improves the utilization rate of site space and avoids the space waste caused by the dispersion of mechanisms. At the same time, due to the combination of loading and sorting, the number of manual handling operations is greatly reduced, and the handling distance is also shortened accordingly, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers during the work process.

[0066] It should be noted that the shape of the first conveying member 10 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible embodiments, the shape of the first conveying member 10 can be wavy, circular, etc. The shape of the second conveying member 20 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible embodiments, the shape of the second conveying member 20 can be wavy, circular, etc. The shape of the telescopic conveying member 30 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible embodiments, the shape of the telescopic conveying member 30 can be wavy, circular, etc. The shape of the groove 40 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible embodiments, the shape of the groove 40 can be wavy, circular, etc. The shape of the through hole 41 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible embodiments, the shape of the through hole 41 can be wavy, circular, etc. The shape of the flipping member 50 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible embodiments, the shape of the flipping member 50 can be wavy, circular, etc., and the shape of the flipping member 50 is adapted to the shape of the through hole 41.

[0067] In some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sorting mechanism includes a support 60 and two first driving members 70. Along the direction of gravity G, the support 60 is located below the chute 40, and one end of each first driving member 70 is connected to the support 60.

[0068] One end of the flipping member 50 includes a rotating shaft (not shown in the figure), both ends of which are connected to the bracket 60, and the other end of the first driving member 70 is connected to the middle part 51 of the flipping member 50.

[0069] The first driving member 70 is used to drive the flipping member 50 to rotate in the opposite direction with the first direction X as the axis, so that the sorting mechanism switches from the first state to the second state.

[0070] The first driving member 70 is used to drive the flipping member 50 to rotate positively in the first direction X as the axis, so that the sorting mechanism switches from the second state to the first state.

[0071] Using the above technical solution, when the sorting mechanism switches from the first state to the second state, the first driving member 70 drives the flipping member 50 to rotate in the opposite direction around the rotation axis with the first direction X as the axis, slowly opening until the through hole 41 is exposed.

[0072] When the sorting mechanism switches from the second state to the first state, the first driving member 70 drives the flipping member 50 to rotate around the rotation axis in the first direction X as the axial direction, and slowly closes until the through hole 41 is covered.

[0073] It should be noted that the number of the first driving component 70 is not specifically limited in this application embodiment. For example, in other possible implementations, the number of the first driving component 70 may be one, three, four, etc.

[0074] In some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first driving member 70 includes a limit sensor (not shown in the figure), which is used to stop the first driving member 70 from extending to a set length.

[0075] Using the above technical solution, the first driving member 70 drives the flipping member 50 to rotate around the rotation axis with the first direction X as the axis. When it slowly opens, when the first driving member 70 extends to the first set length, such as 45cm, the first driving member 70 stops extending, so that the flipping member 50 remains in the open state.

[0076] The first driving member 70 drives the flipping member 50 to rotate around the rotation axis with the first direction X as the axis. When it slowly closes, when the first driving member 70 shortens to a second set length, such as 5cm, the first driving member 70 stops shortening, so that the flipping member 50 remains in the closed state.

[0077] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not impose specific limitations on the first set length. For example, in other possible implementations, the first set length can be 45cm, 47cm, 52cm, etc., and the first set length is determined by the specific working conditions. Similarly, the embodiments of this application do not impose specific limitations on the second set length. For example, in other possible implementations, the second set length can be 4.7cm, 5.2cm, 6.1cm, etc., and the second set length is determined by the specific working conditions.

[0078] In some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first driving component 70 is a cylinder.

[0079] It should be noted that the specific structure of the first driving member 70 is not specifically limited in the embodiments of this application. For example, in other possible implementations, the first driving member 70 may be a gear, a spring, etc.

[0080] In some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sorting mechanism includes a second drive (not shown in the figure), which is used to drive the telescopic conveyor 30 to extend or retract along the second direction Y.

[0081] In some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sorting mechanism includes an operating surface 80, which is connected to the other end of a chute 40. The operating surface 80 extends along a first direction X and is used for external personnel to perform operations. In a second state, the telescopic conveyor 30 contacts the operating surface 80.

[0082] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting up the operating surface 80, when the sorting mechanism is in the first state, that is, the sorting state, the first conveyor 10 conveys the goods from the outside to the chute 40. The goods from the outside slide down from one end of the chute 40 (that is, the top of the chute 40) to the operating surface 80 so that the staff can perform sorting operations on the goods.

[0083] In some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sorting mechanism includes two limiting members 90. The center of gravity end of the limiting member 90 is connected to the bracket 60. The two limiting members 90 are located on both sides of the through hole 41.

[0084] In the first state, along the direction of gravity G, the limiting member 90 is located below the flipping member 50.

[0085] In the second state, the limiting member 90 protrudes from the slide groove 40, and the limiting member 90 defines the limiting channel 91, which is used to limit the movement of external goods along the second direction Y.

[0086] Using the above technical solution, when the sorting mechanism is in the second state and the goods are being conveyed on the telescopic conveyor 30, the goods may fall from the gap between the telescopic conveyor 30 and the chute 40. Therefore, a limiting member 90 is set to limit the limiting channel 91 and limit the running direction of the goods to the second direction Y to prevent the goods from falling from the gap.

[0087] When the sorting mechanism switches from the first state to the second state, the first drive member 70 drives the flipping member 50 to rotate slowly in the first direction X as the axis to open. At this time, since the center of gravity end of the limiting member 90 is connected to the support 60, the other end (i.e., the free end) of the limiting member 90 will naturally lift up after being released from the state of being pressed by the flipping member 50. After the other end of the limiting member 90 lifts up, it can just fill the gap between the telescopic conveyor 30 and the chute 40, thereby preventing goods from accidentally falling out of the gap.

[0088] When the sorting mechanism switches from the second state to the first state, the first drive unit 70 is activated again, driving the tilting member 50 to rotate slowly in the first direction X as the axis to close. During the gradual closing of the tilting member 50, the free end of the limiting member 90, which was originally raised, will come into contact with the gradually approaching tilting member 50. As the tilting member 50 continues to rotate and close, the limiting member 90 is subjected to the force applied by the tilting member 50, and is thus slowly pressed down, eventually located below the tilting member 50, waiting for the next state switch of the sorting mechanism.

[0089] In some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first conveyor 10 includes a plurality of sorting sections 11 and sensors (not shown in the figure) arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The sensors are used for the sorting sections 11 to contact the chute 40 and for the sorting sections 11 to run along the second direction Y. When the sorting sections 11 do not contact the chute 40, the sorting sections 11 are stationary.

[0090] Using the above technical solution, when the sorting section 11 contacts the chute 40, the sorting section 11 begins to move along the second direction Y, ensuring that the goods carried on the sorting section 11 are smoothly transferred to the chute 40, thereby realizing the orderly flow of goods between different components. When the sorting section 11 and the chute 40 are not in contact, the sorting section 11 remains stationary. At this time, the goods on the sorting section 11 can still follow the predetermined running direction of the first conveyor 10, that is, the first direction X, and continue to be conveyed, maintaining the normal transportation of goods on the original conveying path.

[0091] In some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first conveyor 10 is a cross-belt sorter, the second conveyor 20 is a belt, and the telescopic conveyor 30 is a telescopic belt.

[0092] It should be noted that the specific structure of the first conveyor 10 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible implementations, the first conveyor 10 may be a slider sorter, a tilting sorter, a roller sorter, etc. Similarly, the specific structure of the second conveyor 20 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible implementations, the second conveyor 20 may be a chain, a pipe, a steel belt, etc. Likewise, the specific structure of the telescopic conveyor 30 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible implementations, the telescopic conveyor 30 may be a telescopic chain, a telescopic pipe, a telescopic steel belt, etc.

[0093] In some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the second state, the second angle α2 between the extension direction of the flipper 50 and the horizontal direction Y (i.e., the second direction Y) is 5° to 15°.

[0094] By adopting the above technical solution, the second angle α2 between the extension direction of the flipping component 50 and the horizontal direction Y is set to 5° to 15°, so that the flipping component 50 is not in a dangerous state of being horizontal with the operator's normal operating plane. This prevents operators from accidentally bumping into the flipping component 50 and getting injured when sorting goods or loading materials.

[0095] It should be noted that the specific value of the second angle α2 between the extension direction of the flipping member 50 and the horizontal direction Y is not specifically limited in the embodiments of this application. For example, in other possible implementations, the value of the second angle α2 between the extension direction of the flipping member 50 and the horizontal direction Y can be 5°, 8°, 11°, 15°, etc.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes in form and detail, including some simple deductions or substitutions, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
