Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics classification equipment, and in particular to a turnover and delivery device. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of logistics sorting, warehousing management, and automated production, the efficient classification, temporary storage, and transportation of goods are key to improving overall operational efficiency. Traditional sorting methods mainly rely on manual operation, with workers manually sorting goods according to order information. This method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to sorting errors due to human factors, affecting subsequent delivery or production processes.
[0003] With the rapid development of e-commerce, the logistics industry has increasingly higher requirements for sorting speed and accuracy. Traditional manual sorting methods can no longer meet the needs of large-scale, high-frequency logistics. Therefore, automated sorting equipment, such as cross-belt sorters, slider sorters, and swing wheel sorters, is gradually being widely used. While these devices improve sorting efficiency, they still have the following problems:
[0004] 1. Complex structure and high maintenance cost: Existing automated sorting equipment usually adopts multi-stage conveyor belts, robotic arms or complex track systems, resulting in large equipment size, high manufacturing cost and high maintenance difficulty.
[0005] 2. Low space utilization: Some sorting equipment adopts a horizontal layout, which occupies a lot of space and is difficult to deploy when warehouse space is limited.
[0006] 3. Insufficient adaptability: Existing equipment is often designed for items of specific size or weight, and it is difficult to flexibly adjust to meet the sorting needs of goods of different specifications.
[0007] 4. There is still room for improvement in sorting efficiency: Some equipment is prone to jamming and item accumulation when running at high speed, which affects the overall sorting efficiency.
[0008] To address these issues, some improved solutions have emerged in the market, such as using vertical lifting sorting systems to save space or utilizing adjustable conveyor belts to accommodate goods of different sizes. However, these solutions still suffer from drawbacks such as insufficient structural stability, cumbersome adjustment methods, or low sorting accuracy.
[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a compact, stable, flexible, and efficient sorting and delivery device to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and meet the needs of modern logistics and automated production. Utility Model Content

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.
[0036] The components of the present invention embodiments described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention.
[0037] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0038] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0040] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the turnover and delivery device of this utility model includes a sorting and delivery box 1 and a sorting and conveying device 2. The sorting and conveying device 2 includes a frame 3, a lifting mechanism 4, a lifting track 5, and lifting shelves 6. The lifting mechanism 4 is vertically arranged and fixedly installed in the frame 3. The lifting mechanism 4 drives the lifting track 5 for conveying. Multiple lifting shelves 6 are arranged at equal intervals, and multiple lifting shelves 6 are fixedly installed on the surface of the lifting track 5. The sorting and delivery box 1 is fixedly installed on the left side of the frame 3. An inclined channel 7 is fixedly installed in the sorting and delivery box 1. The inclined channel 7 leads to a lifting shelf 6 on the left side of the lifting track 5.
[0041] The principle is as follows: When items are placed in the sorting and delivery box 1, they will slide obliquely down through the inclined channel 7 onto the bottommost lifting shelf 6 on the left side of the lifting conveyor 5. The lifting mechanism 4 drives the lifting conveyor 5 to transport the items one by one on the lifting shelf 6. After being lifted to the corresponding height, the items are then moved horizontally to the next workstation by the lifting conveyor 5. This saves labor costs and speeds up sorting efficiency. The lifting shelf 6 can be circulated on the lifting conveyor 5, thus realizing the cyclic lifting action, which is convenient for practical use.
[0042] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a motor 41, a drive shaft 42, a first driven shaft 43, and a second driven shaft 44. The first driven shaft 43 and the drive shaft 42 are rotatably mounted on the upper and lower sides of the frame 3, respectively. The motor 41 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the frame 3 and drives the drive shaft 42 to rotate. The second driven shaft 44 is rotatably mounted inside the frame 3 and is located to the right of the first driven shaft 43. The inner side of the lifting track 5 is fitted between the drive shaft 42, the first driven shaft 43, and the second driven shaft 44. The lifting track 5 on the first driven shaft 43 and the second driven shaft 44 can move and transport items to the next workstation for easy use. After passing the second driven shaft 44, the lifting track 5 will move downwards and directly move to the position of the drive shaft 42 to achieve a cyclic lifting action.
[0043] Furthermore, a steering shaft 8 is rotatably mounted inside the frame 3, and the steering shaft 8 is located to the lower right of the first driven shaft 43. The steering shaft 8 is positioned to press against the outer side of the lifting track 5; this can effectively reduce the space occupied by the lifting track 5, thereby improving the compactness of the equipment.
[0044] Furthermore, the steering shaft 8 is provided with two separate front and rear sections. When the lifting track 5 drives the lifting shelf 6 for conveying, it passes through the gap between the two steering shafts 8. This allows the lifting shelf 6 and the steering shaft 8 to avoid each other, preventing motion interference and ensuring the stability of the equipment conveying.
[0045] Furthermore, locking mechanisms 9 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the upper end of the frame 3, and the first driven shaft 43 is rotatably installed between the two locking mechanisms 9; the tension of the lifting track 5 can be adjusted by using the locking mechanism 9, thereby facilitating the lifting of items of different weights.
[0046] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 9 includes a positioning bracket 91, a vertical slide 92, and a locking screw 93. The positioning bracket 91 is fixedly installed on the frame 3. The vertical slide 92 is vertically slidably installed in the positioning bracket 91. The first driven shaft 43 is rotatably installed between the vertical slides 92 on the front and rear sides of the locking mechanism 9. The locking screw 93 is rotatably installed on the bottom side of the vertical slide 92. The bottom side of the positioning bracket 91 has a threaded hole 10, and the locking screw 93 is helically installed in the threaded hole 10. The tension of the lifting track 5 can be adjusted by twisting the locking screw 93, which is convenient for actual use.
[0047] Furthermore, the lifting platform 6 includes a positioning edge 61, a base frame 62, and a flipping plate 63. The positioning edge 61 is fixedly installed on the lifting track 5, and the base frame 62 is fixedly installed on the positioning edge 61. The direction of the base frame 62 is perpendicular to the direction of the outer side of the lifting track 5. The side of the base frame 62 closest to the lifting track 5 has a hinge position 11, and the flipping plate 63 is rotatably fitted onto the hinge position 11. After the item is lifted, the flipping plate 63 flips downward under its own weight, thereby applying a force to push the item to the next work position. The transfer of the item can be completed without the need for other conveying mechanisms, which is convenient for practical use. In addition, after the lifting track 5 passes the second driven shaft 44, the flipping plate 63 flips under its own weight until it flips to a vertical state, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the lifting equipment and enhancing the compactness of the equipment.
[0048] The turnover and delivery device in this embodiment mainly includes two parts: a sorting and delivery box 1 and a sorting and conveying device 2. The sorting and delivery box 1 is made of 1.2mm thick stainless steel plate welded together, and has a 45° inclined channel 7 inside. The surface of the channel is covered with a high polymer wear-resistant material to ensure that the items slide smoothly. The height of the delivery box can be adjusted within the range of 1.5-2.5 meters according to actual needs.
[0049] The sorting and conveying device 2 includes: a frame 3: a 50×50mm square steel welded frame structure with overall dimensions of 1.2m×0.8m×3m; a lifting mechanism 4: including a 1.5kW servo motor 41, an 80mm diameter drive shaft 42, an 80mm diameter first driven shaft 43, and a 60mm diameter second driven shaft 44; a lifting track 5: a polyurethane synchronous belt with a width of 300mm and a tooth spacing of 10mm; and 10 lifting shelves 6: a total of 10 shelves evenly distributed on the lifting track 5 with a spacing of 300mm.
[0050] The specific structure of the lifting shelf 6 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, it includes: positioning edge 61: a 3mm thick aluminum alloy profile, fixed to the track by M6 bolts; underframe 62: a 2mm thick steel plate stamped and welded to the positioning edge 61; and tilting plate 63: connected by a stainless steel hinge, which can rotate freely from 0 to 90°.
[0051] The locking mechanism 9 operates as follows: the positioning bracket 91 is welded to the top of the frame 3; the vertical slide 92 adopts a linear guide structure with an adjustable stroke of 100mm; the locking screw 93 has an M12 fine thread, allowing for precise height adjustment of 2mm per rotation. Two steering shafts 8 are provided, each 50mm in diameter, with a polyurethane coating to increase friction; the distance between the two shafts is 500mm.
[0052] Work process:
[0053] 1. After the equipment is started, the motor 41 drives the drive shaft 42 to rotate, and the lifting track 5 rotates in a cycle at a speed of 0.3m / s through the synchronous belt drive;
[0054] 2. The items to be sorted are placed in the sorting and delivery box 1 by manual or automatic feeding device, and automatically slide down to the lowest position lifting shelf 6 through the inclined channel 7.
[0055] 3. The item is lifted to the target height by the lifting track 5 and then transported horizontally. At this time, the tilting plate 63 tilts to the right under the action of gravity, thereby pushing the item to the next transmission line.
[0056] 4. When it is necessary to adjust the tension of the lifting track 5, simply rotate the locking screws 93 on both sides to finely adjust the height position of the first driven shaft 43, so that the lifting track 5 can stably cooperate with the transport of items.
[0057] This embodiment does not impose any limitation on the shape, material, structure, etc. of this utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
