Reducing dust intrusion can maintain the stability of the transmission system and ensure its smooth operation. Protective covers can effectively absorb and disperse external impact forces, preventing impacts from directly acting on important internal components. This physical protection can significantly reduce the risk of damage, especially from accidental impacts that may occur during movement. The presence of protective covers protects gears and belts, reducing the possibility of mechanical failure. By reducing the damage to gears and belts from the external environment, protective covers help extend the service life of these critical components. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0023] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-3 The obstacle avoidance device for a logistics sorting cart shown includes a cart platform 18 and baffles 1 disposed on the left and right sides of the cart platform 18.

[0024] Wheels 10 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the vehicle plate 18. A conveyor belt 2 is provided on the vehicle plate 18. A drive motor 3 is provided on the outside of the baffle 1. The drive motor 3 is powered by the battery inside the vehicle. A fixing plate 11 is provided on the right side of the baffle 1. A rotating base 6 is provided on the fixing plate 11. A robotic arm 4 is provided on the rotating base 6. A gripper 5 is provided on the robotic arm 4.

[0025] Support frames 9 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the vehicle plate 18. A vertical plate 17 is provided between the support frames 9. A mounting plate 12 is provided on the vertical plate 17. Six obstacle avoidance rollers 7 are provided below the mounting plate 12. Gears 14 are provided on the obstacle avoidance rollers 7. A belt 13 is provided between the gears 14. A metal plate 16 is provided on the vertical plate 17. A roller motor 15 is provided on the metal plate 16. The roller motor 15 is powered by the battery inside the vehicle. A protective cover 8 is provided on the mounting plate 12.

[0026] In this embodiment, the logistics sorting cart is a device used in the warehousing and logistics industry, mainly used to improve sorting efficiency and optimize logistics processes. The cart is used to transport goods between warehouses, distribution centers, or production lines, and is suitable for efficient sorting and transportation of items. By concentrating multiple sorted items on a single cart, workers can reduce the number of trips and improve work efficiency. The logistics sorting cart plays an important role in modern warehousing management and distribution processes, which can significantly improve operational efficiency and reduce labor costs. The logistics sorting cart is mainly driven by wheels 10. By rotating the base 6, the upper robotic arm 4 can be driven to rotate, and the grippers 5 on the robotic arm 4 can grab the goods and then place them on the conveyor belt 2. After the logistics sorting cart transports the goods to the designated location, the drive motor 3 is automatically turned on, which drives the conveyor belt 2 to unload the goods.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the support frame 9 is fixedly connected to the vehicle plate 18, the vertical plate 17 is fixedly installed to the support frame 9 with screws, the mounting plate 12 is welded to the vertical plate 17, and a gear 14 is also provided on the gear 14 above the second and fourth obstacle avoidance rollers 7. The top of the gear 14 above the second and fourth obstacle avoidance rollers 7 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the roller motor 15. The metal plate 16 is fixedly installed to the vertical plate 17 with screws, and the roller motor 15 is fixedly installed to the metal plate 16 with screws. The output shaft at the bottom of the roller motor 15 passes through the metal plate 16. The two gears 14 above the second and fourth obstacle avoidance rollers 7 are respectively connected to the gears 14 above the obstacle avoidance rollers 7 on both sides through belts 13. The belts 13 mesh with the gears 14. The output shafts on the two roller motors 15 rotate in opposite directions. The front roller motor 15 rotates clockwise, and the rear roller motor 15 rotates counterclockwise.

[0028] Preferably, by configuring the obstacle avoidance rollers 7, gears 14, roller motors 15, and belts 13, the roller motors 15 are always kept on during the movement of the logistics sorting trolley. Driven by the roller motors 15 on both sides, the two gears 14 below the roller motors 15 and the obstacle avoidance rollers 7 rotate. Then, through the interaction of the two gears 14 and the belts 13, the gears (14) on both sides are driven to rotate, thereby causing the obstacle avoidance rollers 7 on both sides to rotate. At this time, the three obstacle avoidance rollers 7 rotate in the same direction. The six obstacle avoidance rollers 7 are divided into two groups, with each group consisting of three obstacle avoidance rollers 7. The three obstacle avoidance rollers 7 at the front rotate clockwise driven by the roller motor 15, while the three obstacle avoidance rollers 7 at the rear rotate counterclockwise driven by the roller motor 15. When the obstacle avoidance rollers 7 encounter a low obstacle, they can push the obstacle aside to the sides, preventing the low obstacle from obstructing the logistics sorting cart. By using this physical obstacle avoidance structure of obstacle avoidance rollers 7, this device can effectively solve the problem that the existing logistics sorting carts have poor obstacle avoidance performance when the obstacles are low or do not easily reflect radar waves.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective cover 8 and the mounting plate 12 are fixedly installed by screws, the obstacle avoidance roller 7 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 12, the gear 14 is welded to the obstacle avoidance roller 7, and the drive motor 3 can drive the conveyor belt 2 to rotate. The goods above can be transported by the rotation of the conveyor belt 2.

[0030] Preferably, the protective cover 8 can protect the internal structures such as gears 14 and belts 13, prevent external dust from affecting the transmission of belts 13 and gears 14, and protect the internal structures from external impacts, thus extending the service life of the structures.

[0031] 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.
