The collection track 30 is provided with a first inlet 31 and a second inlet 32, the first track 10 is connected with the first inlet 31, and the second track 20 is connected with the second inlet 32, so that the first track 10 and the second track 20 are connected with the collection track 30 respectively. The goods 100 conveyed by the first track 10 enter the collection track 30 through the first inlet 31, and the goods 100 conveyed by the second track 20 enter the collection track 30 through the second inlet 32, so that the goods 100 conveyed by the first track 10 and the goods 100 conveyed by the second track 20 are collected and tracked at the collection track 30. The conveying track system further comprises a swing door 70, a first blocking assembly 50, a first sensor 40 and a controller (not shown in the figure). The swing door 70 is arranged between the first inlet 31 and the second inlet 32 and generally opens the first inlet and closes the second inlet 32. The first blocking assembly 50 is arranged on the first track 10 and is used to block the goods 100 of the first track 10 when extending out. The first sensor 40 is arranged on the second track 20 and is used to detect the number of goods between the first sensor 40 and the second inlet 32 on the second track 20. The controller is connected with the swing door 70, the first blocking assembly 50 and the first sensor 40 respectively, and is used to control the extension and retraction of the first blocking assembly 50 and the switching of the opening and closing of the first inlet 31 and the second inlet 32 of the swing door 70 according to the data detected by the first sensor 40. The controller adopts a programmable controller, a computer or an industrial computer.
[0027] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the second track 20 and the collection track 30 are arranged on the same track, the upstream section of the track is taken as the second track 20, the downstream section of the track is taken as the collection track 30, the connection between the upstream section and the downstream section is taken as the second inlet 32, and the first inlet 31 is arranged on the side of the downstream section.
[0028] The swing door 70 is used to open and close the first inlet 31 and the second inlet 32, when the first inlet 31 is opened, the second inlet 32 is closed, and vice versa, when the first inlet 31 is closed, the second inlet 32 is opened. The scheme that the first inlet 31 is provided with a separate opening and closing door and the second inlet 32 is provided with a separate opening and closing door can better avoid the misoperation of the first inlet 31 and the second inlet 32.
[0029] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 In the initial state, the first sensor 40 is reset and cleared, the swing door 70 is in the normal state of closing the second inlet 32 and opening the first inlet 31, and the articles 100 conveyed on the first track 10 enter the collection track 30 through the first inlet 31. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the first sensor 40 is an optical switch sensor, when the articles 100 conveyed on the second track 20 pass through the first sensor 40, the articles 100 are counted by the first sensor 40, because the swing door 70 closes the second inlet 32, the articles 100 passing through the first sensor 40 are accumulated on the second track 20 between the second inlet 32 and the first sensor 40, and the number of articles accumulated is the number of articles counted by the first sensor 40. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the number of articles accumulated on the second track 20 between the second inlet 32 and the first sensor 40 exceeds a set threshold value, Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the set threshold value is 10, when the number of articles is 10, the controller controls the first blocking assembly 50 to extend to block the articles 100 on the first track 10, so that the articles 100 on the first track 10 cannot move to the first inlet 31, at this time, the controller controls the swing door 70 to open the second inlet 32 and switch to close the first inlet 31, the articles 100 accumulated on the second track 20 between the second inlet 32 and the first sensor 40 enter the collection track 30 from the second inlet 32, and a set time is kept to make the articles 100 on the second track 20 all enter the collection track. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the articles 100 accumulated on the second track 20 between the second inlet 32 and the first sensor 40 all enter the collection track 30. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the controller controls the swing door 70 to open the first inlet 31 and close the second inlet 32, the first blocking assembly 50 is retracted, the articles 100 conveyed on the first track 10 enter the collection track 30, the first sensor 40 is reset and cleared, and the initial state is entered.
[0030] The conveying track system of the utility model, through first blocking component 50 pre-extend and stop the article 100 on first track 30, prevent article 100 from moving to first inlet 31 downstream, so that when swing door 70 closes first inlet 31, avoid article to move first inlet 31 and jam swing door 70, the utility model realizes that the product of first track 10 and second track 20 orderly enters the collection track 30, solve the problem that article is easily jammed in the collection process in the prior art.
[0031] Further, as shown in Figure 1 The conveying track system further comprises a second blocking component 60, which is arranged on the second track 20 and located upstream of the first sensor 40 in the conveying direction of the second track 20. The controller is connected with the second blocking component 60 and used to control the second blocking component 60 to extend and retract and block the article 100 on the second track 20 when extended. As shown in Figure 4 When the controller controls the first blocking component 50 to extend, the second blocking component 60 is also controlled to extend and block the article 100 on the second track 20. When the number of articles detected by the first sensor 40 reaches the set threshold, the second blocking component 60 is extended, so that the articles conveyed on the second track 20 cannot enter the downstream of the first sensor 40. When all the articles 100 on the second track 20 accumulated between the second inlet 32 and the first sensor 40 enter the collection track 30, the swing door 70 opens the first inlet 31 and closes the second inlet 32. At this time, as shown in Figure 6 The first blocking component 50 is retracted, and the articles 100 on the first track 10 are no longer blocked and move forward smoothly. The second blocking component 60 is also retracted at the same time, and the articles 100 on the second track 20 are no longer blocked and move forward smoothly. Generally, the frequency of conveying articles on the second track 20 is lower than that on the first track 10. During the opening of the second inlet 32, the second blocking component 60 is extended to block the articles 100 from passing through the first sensor 40, so as to avoid miscontrol or being stuck by the articles 100 when the swing door 70 closes the second inlet.
[0032] The first blocking component 50 and the second blocking component 60 are preferably cylinder assemblies. Using the cylinder assembly has the advantages of simple structure and cleanliness.
[0033] Preferably, the swing door 70 comprises a door plate 71 and a rotary driving member 72. The door plate 71 is rotatably installed on the collection track 30 and can be switched between the first inlet 31 and the second inlet 32. The rotary driving member 72 is connected with the door plate 71 and used to drive the door plate 71 to rotate. The rotary driving member 72 drives the door plate 71 to rotate between the first inlet 31 and the second inlet 32 to switch the opening and closing of the first inlet 31 and the second inlet 32. The rotary driving member 72 is preferably a stepper motor driving mechanism.
[0034] Embodiment Two
[0035] The embodiment is a conveying track system which is basically the same as Embodiment One, except that, as shown in Figure 7 the conveying track system further comprises a second sensor 80 connected with the controller, the second sensor 80 is arranged at the second inlet 32 of the collecting track 30 for detecting whether the second inlet 32 is open and whether the second inlet 32 has the articles 100. The second sensor 80 is preferably a photoelectric switch sensor. When the second sensor 80 detects that the second inlet 32 is open and the second inlet 32 has no articles 100, the swing door 70 opens the first inlet 31 to switch to close the second inlet 32. The second sensor 80 is arranged to detect whether the second inlet 32 is open and whether the second inlet 32 has the articles 100, which prevents the articles 100 from not completely leaving the second track 20 into the collecting track 30 within the time when the second inlet 32 is kept open, thereby further playing the effect of accurate control.
[0036] Embodiment Three
[0037] The embodiment is a conveying track system control method using the conveying track system of Embodiment One, as shown in Figure 8 the conveying track system control method comprises the following steps:
[0038] S10: The first track 10, the second track 20 and the collecting track 30 are in continuous operation, the swing door 70 closes the second inlet 32 and opens the first inlet 31, the articles 100 on the first track 10 enter the collecting track 30 through the first inlet 31, and the first sensor 40 detects the number of articles between the first sensor 40 and the second inlet 32 on the second track 20. As shown in Figure 2 and 3 in the initial state, the first sensor 40 is reset to zero, and the swing door 70 closes the second inlet 32 and opens the first inlet 31 in the normal state. The first sensor 40 is a photoelectric switch sensor, and the articles 100 conveyed on the second track 20 are counted by the first sensor 40 when passing through the first sensor 40. Since the swing door 70 closes the second inlet 32, the articles 100 passing through the position of the first sensor 40 accumulate on the second track 20 between the second inlet 32 and the first sensor 40, and the number of articles counted by the first sensor 40 is the number of accumulated articles.
[0039] S20: When the number of articles reaches a set threshold, the controller controls the first blocking assembly 50 to extend to block the articles 100 on the first track 10. As shown in Figure 4 when the number of articles accumulated on the second track 20 between the second inlet 32 and the first sensor 40 exceeds the set threshold, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the threshold is set as 10, when the number of articles reaches 10, the controller controls the first blocking assembly 50 to extend, and blocks the articles 100 on the first track 10, so that the articles 100 on the first track 10 cannot continue to move to the first inlet 31.
[0040] S30: The controller controls the swing door to open the second inlet 32 and switch to close the first inlet 31. As shown, Figure 4 As shown, under the control of the controller, the swing door 70 opens the second inlet 32 and switches to close the first inlet 31.
[0041] S40: The articles 100 on the second track 20 enter the collection track 30 through the second inlet 32. As shown, Figure 4 As shown, the second inlet 32 remains open for a set time, and the articles 100 on the second track 20 accumulated between the second inlet 32 and the first sensor 40 enter the collection track 30 from the second inlet 32. In this embodiment, the set time is 6-10 seconds, preferably 8 seconds. As shown, Figure 5 As shown, the second inlet 32 remains open for 8 seconds, and the articles 100 on the second track 20 accumulated between the second inlet 32 and the first sensor 40 all enter the collection track 30.
[0042] S50: The controller controls the swing door to open the first inlet 31 and switch to close the second inlet 32. As shown, Figure 6 As shown, the swing door 70 opens the first inlet 31 and closes the second inlet 32, and the swing door 70 returns to the normal state. At this time, the first blocking assembly 50 is retracted, the articles 100 conveyed on the first track 10 enter the collection track 30, the articles 100 on the second track 20 are blocked by the swing door 70, and the first sensor 40 is reset to zero.
[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the step of retracting the first blocking assembly 50 is in step S50. In other embodiments, the first blocking assembly 50 can be retracted in any step after step S30, for example, between step S30 and step S40, or in step S40, or between step S40 and S50.
[0044] S60: Repeat the above steps until the conveying track system is stopped.
[0045] Preferably, between step S20 and step S30, there is further step S21, waiting for a first delay time, in this embodiment, the first delay time is 2-3 seconds. When there is a certain distance between the first blocking component 50 and the first inlet 31, after the first blocking component 50 extends to block the articles, there can be articles 100 downstream of the first blocking component 50 on the first track 10 which have not passed through the first inlet 31, if the swing door 70 closes the first inlet 31 at this time, it can be stuck by the articles 100 so that the first inlet 31 cannot be completely closed, therefore, the first inlet 31 needs to be closed after waiting for the first delay time. For example, the first delay time is 2 or 3 seconds, so that after the articles downstream of the first blocking component 50 all enter the collecting track 30, the first inlet 31 is closed, avoiding the articles being broken by the swing door 70, and avoiding the collecting track 30 being blocked.
[0046] Preferably, when the second track 20 of the conveying track system in embodiment one is provided with the second blocking component 60, in the above step S20, when the controller controls the first blocking component 50 to extend, the controller simultaneously controls the second blocking component 60 to extend to block the articles 100 on the second track 20; in step S50, when the controller controls the first blocking component 50 to retract, the controller simultaneously controls the second blocking component 60 to retract.
[0047] Embodiment four
[0048] This embodiment is a conveying track system control method, and this embodiment uses the sensing track system described in embodiment two. The conveying track system control method of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment three, the difference is that, in this embodiment, the conveying track system further comprises a second sensor 80, the second sensor 80 is connected with the controller, and the second sensor 80 is arranged at the second inlet 32 of the collecting track 30, and is used to detect whether the second inlet 32 is open and whether the second inlet 32 has articles 100. The conveying track system control method of this embodiment further comprises the following step S50: when the second sensor 80 detects that the second inlet 32 is open and the second inlet 32 has no articles 100, the controller controls the swing door 70 to open the first inlet 31 and switch to close the second inlet 32. The second sensor 80 is arranged to detect whether the second inlet 32 is open and whether it has articles, preventing the articles from not completely leaving the second track 20 and entering the collecting track 30 within the time when the second inlet 32 is kept open, thereby achieving the effect of accurate control.
