DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The specific embodiment of the utility model is described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0025] AsFigures 1-5 The utility model discloses implement a kind of transport device for annular seeding wall, in the process of logistics goods sorting, to optimize the space layout of sorting area, ensure the continuity of goods sorting, improve sorting efficiency.

[0026] The utility model discloses implement a kind of transport device for annular seeding wall, rotates around the rotation axis of carousel mechanism under the drive of carousel mechanism, when passing through feeding module, feeding module supplies goods to transport device, and the material frame of transport device receives goods from feeding module. With the continuous rotation of carousel mechanism, transport device reaches corresponding storage shelf with goods, at this time, the lifting assembly on transport device starts to work, and it drives material frame to move along the height direction of storage shelf along the rotation axis axial direction of carousel mechanism, so that material frame reaches appropriate height position, then sorts goods to corresponding storage unit on storage shelf, realizes continuous feeding bag sorting operation, ensures the continuity of goods sorting, compared with traditional linear seeding wall or artificial sorting mode, optimizes the space layout of sorting area, greatly improves the speed and efficiency of sorting.

[0027] As Figure 1 Combined Figure 2 As shown in a kind of transport device for annular seeding wall is arranged in annular conveying channel 5. Annular conveying channel 5 is located between carousel mechanism 1 for driving transport device 2 rotation and multiple storage shelves 3, and multiple storage shelves 3 are arranged in annular along the rotation axis of carousel mechanism 1, in the periphery of carousel mechanism 1.

[0028] As Figure 2 As shown, transport device 2 includes mounting frame 21, material frame 22 and lifting assembly 23. Lifting assembly 23 is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of carousel mechanism 1. Lifting assembly 23 is used to drive material frame 22 reciprocating motion along the height direction of storage shelf 3. Material frame 22 is connected with lifting assembly 23. Lifting assembly 23 is connected with carousel mechanism 1 by mounting frame 21.

[0029] As Figure 2 As shown, lifting assembly 23 includes stand 231 and synchronous belt unit 232, and stand 231 is connected with mounting frame 21. Synchronous belt unit 232 is installed on stand 231, and is used to drive material frame 22 reciprocating motion along the height direction of storage shelf 3. In this way, synchronous belt unit 232 has the characteristics of high transmission accuracy. When driving material frame 22 reciprocating motion along the height direction of storage shelf 3, the position of material frame 22 can be accurately controlled, so that it can accurately reach the height matched with each storage unit 31.

[0030] In addition, the structural design connecting the upright frame 231 to the mounting frame 21 makes the overall structure of the lifting assembly 23 more compact. Within the limited space of the annular sorting wall, this compact structure allows for better layout and installation, reducing the occupation of surrounding space and facilitating optimized spatial configuration of the entire device. Compared to some loosely structured and bulky lifting devices, it allows the annular sorting wall to maintain efficient sorting functions while achieving a smaller footprint or more rational space utilization. This is particularly crucial for logistics and warehousing environments with limited warehouse space, improving warehouse space utilization and storage capacity.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, a guide mechanism 24 is provided between the material frame 22 and the upright frame 231. The guide mechanism 24 includes a wheel frame 241 and a guide wheel assembly 242. The side wall of the material frame 22 is connected to the upright frame 231 through the wheel frame 241. The guide wheel assembly 242 is mounted on the wheel frame 241. A track surface 233 for contacting the guide wheel assembly 242 is provided on the side wall of the upright frame 231.

[0032] The guide wheel assembly 242 rolls along the track surface of the side wall of the upright 231, providing precise and stable guidance for the reciprocating motion of the material frame 22 in the height direction. This effectively limits unstable movements such as lateral deviation, swaying, or torsion that may occur in the material frame 22, ensuring that the material frame 22 maintains a smooth and straight motion trajectory during lifting and lowering.

[0033] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, a conveyor belt 25 is provided at the bottom of the material frame 22. The conveying direction of the conveyor belt 25 is arranged radially along the turntable mechanism 1. When the transport device 2 reaches the corresponding position of the storage shelf 3 and needs to sort the goods into the storage unit 31, the conveyor belt 25 can smoothly push the goods out. Its continuous motion characteristics avoid the instability caused by sudden start-stop or jamming when the goods are transferred between the material frame 22 and the storage shelf 3, allowing the goods to enter the storage unit 31 more smoothly.

[0034] like Figure 4 Combination Figure 5 As shown, the turntable mechanism 1 includes a support frame 11, a power unit 12, a rotating shaft 13, a first turntable frame 14, and a second turntable frame 15. The power unit 12 is mounted on the support frame 11. The output end of the power unit 12 is connected to the rotating shaft 13 via a transmission structure 16. Both the first turntable frame 14 and the second turntable frame 15 are coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 13. A connecting plate 19 is provided between the first turntable frame 14 and the second turntable frame 15. A mounting portion for mounting the lifting assembly 23 is provided on the connecting plate 19. A mounting bracket 21 is connected to the mounting portion.

[0035] The connecting plate 19 is used to enhance the connection strength between the turntable frames, so that the entire turntable mechanism 1 can better distribute stress when bearing the weight of the transport device 2 and the goods, preventing deformation or twisting of the turntable frames. Even under high-speed rotation or heavy-load operation conditions, it can maintain the integrity of the structure and ensure the precise fit between the components, which is conducive to further improving the accuracy of sorting.

[0036] For example, the power component 12 is a servo motor. A servo motor enables very precise position control, allowing the turntable mechanism 1 to stop accurately at a preset position, facilitating the docking of the transport device 2 with the storage rack 3. The transmission structure 16 is a gear transmission mechanism.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the first turntable frame 14 is located below the second turntable frame 15. A roller assembly 17 is provided at the bottom of the first turntable frame 14, and a platform 18 for supporting the roller assembly 17 is provided on the support frame 11.

[0038] In this way, the roller assembly 17 at the bottom of the first turntable frame 14 and the corresponding support platform 18 on the support frame 11 allow part of the weight of the first turntable frame 14 to be borne by the roller assembly 17 and transferred to the support platform 18 of the support frame 11. The vertical downward pressure acting on the rotating shaft 13 is effectively distributed, reducing the axial load on the rotating shaft 13 during long-term operation.

[0039] Compared to traditional support methods, the roller assembly 17 can transform the sliding friction between the first turntable frame 14 and the support frame 11 into rolling friction, thereby significantly reducing the frictional force experienced by the first turntable frame 14 during rotation. This greatly reduces the energy consumption of the power component 12 when the turntable mechanism 1 drives the transport device 2 and the goods to rotate continuously.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple conveying devices 2 are arranged in a circle along the rotation axis of the turntable mechanism 1. This ensures that a conveying device 2 is available at any angle during the continuous rotation of the turntable mechanism 1, guaranteeing the continuity of goods sorting and enabling continuous package feeding. When the supply module 4 supplies goods to the conveying devices 2, there are no gaps or delays in package feeding due to uneven distribution, greatly improving the efficiency and continuity of package feeding.

[0041] When the transport device for a circular seeding wall proposed in this embodiment of the present invention is used, the turntable mechanism 1 starts to operate, and multiple transport devices 2 arranged in a circle along the rotation axis of the turntable mechanism 1 rotate in the transport channel under the drive of the turntable mechanism 1.

[0042] Based on the characteristics of the goods to be sorted, the control system pre-sets the corresponding goods type or sorting rules for each storage shelf 3. For example, specific shelves are set up to store goods of specific sizes, weight ranges, or product categories, and each storage unit 31 is assigned a unique identification code to accurately control the sorting location of the goods.

[0043] The barcode scanning and weighing units in the supply module 4 are calibrated to ensure they can accurately collect information and weight data of the goods. Simultaneously, the circular conveyor channel 5 is checked for unobstructed flow, and each storage unit 31 of the storage rack 3 is checked to ensure it is in a condition ready to receive goods.

[0044] The goods to be sorted are placed in the upper packaging area of ​​the feeding module 4 in a certain order. The feeding module 4 can use belt conveyor, roller conveyor or robot handling to transport individual goods to the feeding position in sequence.

[0045] When the transport device 2 passes through the supply module 4, the supply module 4 supplies goods to the transport device 2, and the material frame 22 of the transport device 2 receives the goods from the supply module 4.

[0046] As the turntable mechanism 1 continues to rotate, the transport device 2 carries the goods to the corresponding storage shelf 3. At this time, the lifting component 23 on the transport device 2 starts to work, driving the material frame 22 to move along the height direction of the storage shelf 3 along the axis parallel to the rotating shaft 13 of the turntable mechanism 1, so that the material frame 22 reaches the appropriate height position, and then the goods are sorted into the corresponding storage unit 31 on the storage shelf 3.

[0047] The target transport device 2 moves to the supply position of the supply module 4 under the drive of the turntable mechanism 1. At this time, the material frame 22 of the transport device 2 is in a suitable receiving position, and the supply module 4 smoothly pushes or places the goods into the material frame 22.

[0048] After the transport device 2 is loaded with goods, as the turntable mechanism 1 continues to rotate, the lifting assembly 23 of the transport device 2 adjusts according to the height information of the storage rack 3 during the movement. The synchronous belt unit 232 in the lifting assembly 23, supported by the upright 231, drives the material frame 22 to move along the height direction of the storage rack 3, so that the material frame 22 reaches a height matching the target storage unit 31. The guide mechanism 24 (including the wheel frame 241 and guide wheel set 242) between the material frame 22 and the upright 231 ensures that the material frame 22 maintains a stable linear motion trajectory during lifting, avoiding swaying or deviation.

[0049] When the transport device 2 reaches the position corresponding to the target storage shelf 3, the conveyor belt 25 at the bottom of the material frame 22 starts, sorting the goods into the corresponding storage unit 31 of the storage shelf 3 in a smooth and gentle manner. Since the storage unit 31 is arranged at an angle on the storage shelf 3, the goods will automatically slide down under the action of gravity after entering the storage unit 31 and tend to stabilize in a suitable position, which facilitates subsequent storage management and retrieval operations.

[0050] This utility model is not limited to the specific technical solutions described in the above embodiments. Besides the above embodiments, this utility model may have other implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
