Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting equipment, and in particular to sorting modules and sorting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In order to increase the number of sorting slots, three-dimensional sorting equipment has become a hot research and development topic.

[0003] Patent document with publication number CN118239195A discloses a usable three-dimensional sorting device.

[0004] This type of equipment has a lifting drive component installed inside the lifting output component, which means that the lifting output component can only feed and sort packages at one end, limiting the increase in the number of sorting slots and making it difficult to install two lifting output components on a sorting trolley at the same time. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art and to provide a sorting module and sorting equipment.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] The sorting module includes a frame on which two conveying components are arranged. The two conveying components are parallel in their conveying directions. One conveying component is located on the side of the other conveying component. The two ends of the two conveying components are flush. The frame is also provided with a height adjustment component connected to the side of the conveying components and driving the conveying components to rise and fall.

[0008] Preferably, the frame is movably connected to the walking frame via a first connecting component and a second connecting component.

[0009] Preferably, the first connecting component includes a first joint bearing, the second connecting component includes a second joint bearing, the first joint bearing is connected to a first horizontal axis on the walking frame, the second joint bearing is connected to a second horizontal axis on the walking frame, the first horizontal axis and the second horizontal axis are perpendicular and at the same height, and the extending direction of the first horizontal axis or the second horizontal axis is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying component.

[0010] Preferably, the frame is mounted on a walking frame, which includes a first link and a second link connected in a T-shape. The first link has a first through hole, an insertion hole and a slot that communicate with the first through hole and are coaxially located on both sides of the first through hole. The first horizontal axis or the second horizontal axis passes through the insertion hole, the first through hole, and the slot and is positioned by the second link.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the frame is provided with a top guide wheel, and the axis of the top guide wheel extends in the vertical direction.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the frame is symmetrically provided with two vertical shafts, and each vertical shaft is connected to a rod end joint bearing.

[0013] Preferably, the two conveying components are driven to rise and fall by the same height adjustment component, or the two conveying components are each connected to a height adjustment component.

[0014] Preferably, when each of the conveying components is driven by a height adjustment component, the drive motors of the two height adjustment components are located on the side of the frame.

[0015] Preferably, the height adjustment assembly includes an upper drive wheel and a lower drive wheel that are rotatably mounted at the upper and lower ends of the frame column. The axes of the upper drive wheel and the lower synchronous wheel are parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying assembly. A conveyor belt is fitted between the upper drive wheel and the lower drive wheel, and one of them is connected to the drive motor. The conveyor belt is connected to a sliding frame and drives the sliding frame to move up and down along the column. The conveying assembly is mounted on the sliding frame.

[0016] Sorting equipment, including any of the sorting modules described above.

[0017] The advantages of this utility model's technical solution are mainly reflected in:

[0018] This invention connects the height adjustment component to the side of the conveying component, ensuring that both ends of the conveying component are not obstructed, thus facilitating loading and sorting at both ends and increasing the number of sorting slots; at the same time, one sorting module integrates two conveying components, which can better adapt to the sorting needs of goods of different sizes.

[0019] This invention allows the frame to be movably mounted on the traveling frame. When the sorting module moves to a turning position, the frame's up and down movements can be more coordinated through micro-movements, thus making the movement of the sorting module smoother and helping to extend the service life of the equipment.

[0020] This invention connects two conveying components to a height adjustment component, allowing for transport via a single conveying component or by having the two conveying components work together when needed. This effectively improves sorting flexibility and reduces energy consumption during operation.

[0021] This invention positions the drive motor of the height adjustment component on the side of the frame, effectively avoiding structural interference when two height adjustment components are installed, thus creating a prerequisite for adjusting the two conveying components separately.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] The sorting module disclosed in this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, as shown in the attached drawings. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a frame 100, on which two conveying components 200 are provided. The conveying directions of the two conveying components 200 are parallel, one conveying component 200 is located on the side of the other conveying component 200, and the two ends of the two conveying components 200 are flush. The frame 100 is also provided with a height adjustment component 300 connected to the side of the conveying component 200 and driving the conveying component 200 to rise and fall.

[0031] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the frame 100 is a rectangular frame, which includes two columns 110 and an upper connecting frame 120 and a lower connecting frame 130 connected between the two columns 110 and located at the upper and lower ends of the two columns 110.

[0032] The top of the upper connecting frame 120 is provided with a top guide wheel 140. The axis of the top guide wheel 140 extends in the vertical direction. The number of the top guide wheels 140 can be set as needed, for example, two symmetrically distributed. Each top guide wheel 140 is rotatably mounted on a mounting shaft 150 at the top of the upper connecting frame 120, and the two mounting shafts 150 are connected by a support frame 160.

[0033] Meanwhile, two vertical shafts are symmetrically arranged on the top of the upper connecting frame 120. The vertical shafts and the mounting shaft 150 can be the same shaft, or they can be independent shafts. Each vertical shaft is connected to a rod end joint bearing 170, and the rod end joint bearings 170 of adjacent sorting modules are connected by a rigid connecting rod or an elastic connecting rod 180.

[0034] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 As shown, the lower connecting frame 130 of the frame 100 is mounted on the traveling frame 400. The traveling frame 400 includes a first connecting rod 410 and a second connecting rod 420 connected in a T-shape. The extension direction of the first connecting rod 410 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 200. A spherical bearing 430 is provided in a countersunk hole at the distal end of the first connecting rod 410 away from the second connecting rod 420. The spherical bearing 430 is limited in the countersunk hole by a limiting ring. Traveling wheels 440 are respectively provided at both ends of the second connecting rod 420. The axis of the traveling wheel 440 extends horizontally, and its wheel frame is hinged to the second connecting rod 420. At the same time, lower guide wheels 450 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first connecting rod 410 at the bottom of the second connecting rod 420. The axis of the lower guide wheels 450 extends vertically. Meanwhile, a connecting pin 460 extending vertically is provided in the middle of the side of the second connecting rod 420 facing away from the first connecting rod 410. During assembly, the connecting pin 460 of one walking frame 400 is connected to the joint bearing 430 of its adjacent walking frame 400, thereby connecting multiple walking frames 400 to form a ring-shaped walking structure. At the same time, a driving component 470 is provided at the bottom of the first connecting rod. The driving component can be configured as a secondary plate, friction plate, or linear motor secondary assembly, etc., as needed; no limitation is made here.

[0035] As attached Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 4 As shown, the frame 100 is movably connected to the walking frame 400 via the first connecting component 500 and the second connecting component 600, that is, the lower connecting frame 130 is connected above the first connecting rod 410 via the first connecting component 500 and the second connecting component 600.

[0036] The first connecting assembly 500 is disposed at the end where the first connecting rod 410 and the second connecting rod 420 are connected. It includes a first bearing seat 510, which is fixed to the bottom of the lower connecting frame 130. A first spherical bearing 520 is disposed on the first bearing seat 510. A first horizontal shaft 480 is inserted through the universal ball of the first spherical bearing 520. The first horizontal shaft 480 is fixed on the first connecting rod 410, and the axis of the first horizontal shaft 480 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 200. Two limiting sleeves located on both sides of the universal ball are fitted on the first horizontal shaft 480. The two limiting sleeves restrict the position of the universal ball on the first horizontal shaft 480, thereby allowing the first bearing seat 510 to move relative to the universal ball.

[0037] As attached Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 As shown, to facilitate the installation of the first horizontal shaft 480, a first through hole 411, an insertion hole 412 coaxially located on both sides of the first through hole 411, and a slot 413 are provided on the first connecting rod 410. The first through hole 411 is used for the first connecting component 500 to be inserted. The insertion hole 412 extends linearly from the end face of the first connecting rod 410 connecting the second connecting rod 420 to the distal end. The first horizontal shaft 480 passes through the insertion hole 412, the first through hole 411, and the slot 413 and is positioned by the second connecting rod 420. Furthermore, the insertion hole 412 can be a countersunk hole with a limiting hole section. The outer periphery of the head 481 of the first horizontal shaft 480 is not circular, that is, when the head 481 of the first horizontal shaft 480 is inserted into the limiting hole section, the first horizontal shaft 480 is restricted from rotating. When the second link 420 is fixed to the first link 410, the second link 420 limits the position of the first horizontal axis 480.

[0038] As attached Figure 2 Appendix Figure 4 As shown, the structure of the second connecting component 600 is the same as that of the first connecting component 500. It is located near the distal end of the second connecting rod 420, which has a second through hole 414 for embedding the second connecting component 600. The second connecting component 600 includes a second spherical bearing, through which a second horizontal shaft 490 passes. The second horizontal shaft 490 is mounted on the traveling frame 400. The first horizontal shaft 480 and the second horizontal shaft 490 are perpendicular and their axes are at the same height, meaning the axis of the second horizontal shaft 490 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying component. Similarly, two limiting sleeves (not shown in the figure) are fitted on the second horizontal shaft to restrict the position of the spherical bearing's universal joint.

[0039] As attached Figure 2 Appendix Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, two conveying components 200 are each connected to a height adjustment component 300, so that the two conveying components 200 can lift and sort independently, or simultaneously. In this case, the height adjustment component 300 includes an upper drive wheel 310 and a lower drive wheel 320 rotatably mounted at the upper and lower ends of the column 110 of the frame 100. The upper drive wheel 310 and the lower drive wheel 320 can be respectively mounted on wheel seats 330, which are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the column 110. The axes of the upper drive wheel 310 and the lower drive wheel are parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying component 200. One of the upper drive wheel 310 and the lower drive wheel 320 is connected to a drive motor 340 that drives its rotation. The drive motor 340 is located on the side of the frame 100. Preferably, the drive motor 340 is connected to the lower drive wheel 320 through a reducer 350 and determines the rotation of the lower drive wheel 320.

[0040] A conveyor belt 360 is fitted between the upper drive wheel 310 and the lower drive wheel 320, and the conveyor belt 360 is connected to a sliding frame 370, driving the sliding frame 370 to move up and down along the column 110. The conveying assembly 200 is mounted on the sliding frame 370. The sliding frame 370 is slidably mounted on the column 110 via a slider 380, and the slider 380 is connected to the conveyor belt 360. The sliding frame 370 is L-shaped, and the conveying assembly 200 is mounted on its horizontal plate. The conveying assembly 200 can be a known belt conveyor, which will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Of course, in another embodiment, the two conveying components 200 can also be driven to rise and fall by the same height adjustment component 300. The height adjustment component 300 can also adopt the structure of an upper drive wheel 310, a lower drive wheel 320, and a conveyor belt 360. The difference from the two independent height adjustment components mentioned above is that, in this case, the two lower drive wheels 320 or the two upper drive wheels 310 located at the two columns 110 can be connected by a synchronous rod or a synchronous belt. Thus, the two conveyor belts 360 at the two columns 110 can be driven to rotate synchronously by a single drive motor to achieve synchronous rising and falling of the two conveying components 200. At this time, a sliding frame 370 can be connected between the two conveyor belts 360, and the two conveying components 200 are mounted on the same sliding frame 370. Furthermore, the conveyor motor can be located on the side of the frame 100 or on the outer side of one end of the lower connecting frame 130 of the frame 100. Specifically, the direction of the delay of the axes of the lower drive wheel 320 and the upper drive wheel 310 is determined. For example, when the axes of the lower drive wheel 320 and the upper drive wheel 310 are parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 200, the two lower drive wheels 320 or the upper drive wheel can be connected by a synchronous belt. In this case, the drive motor 340 is also located on the side of the frame 100. When the axes of the lower drive wheel 320 and the upper drive wheel 310 are perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 200, the two lower drive wheels 320 can be coaxially connected by a transmission rod, or the two lower drive wheels can be located on the same rotating shaft. The drive motor 340 is located on the outer side of one end of the lower connecting frame 130 and drives the lower drive wheel or rotating shaft on one side to rotate.
