[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a sorting cart reset device, including a conveying unit 1, including a conveyor belt 11, side plates 12 disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 11, a mounting plate 13 disposed between two adjacent side plates 12, and a baffle 14 disposed on the conveyor belt 11.

[0026] The reset unit 2 includes a photoelectric sensor 21 disposed on the mounting plate 13 and a reflector 22 disposed on the conveyor belt 11.

[0027] It should be noted that the bottom of the two side plates 12 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 13, and a conveyor belt 11 is arranged between the two side plates 12. Two baffles 14 are fixedly welded to the surface of the conveyor belt 11. The baffles 14, the conveyor belt 11, and the side plates 12 constitute a limiting area to intercept the package. A photoelectric sensor 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 13, and a reflector 22 is provided on the surface of the conveyor belt 11. The photoelectric sensor 21 identifies the reflector 22 and controls the operation of the conveyor belt 11 to reset the baffles 14.

[0028] In use, the scanned package is placed in the limiting area formed by the baffle 14, the belt of the conveyor belt 11, and the side plate 12. After the sorting trolley moves to the corresponding sorting area, the conveyor belt 11 starts to move the package to the sorting area. The conveyor belt 11 continues to work until the photoelectric sensor 21 detects the reflector 22, at which point the conveyor belt 11 stops working and the two baffles 14 are in the reset state.

[0029] In summary, by sensing the reflector 22 through the photoelectric sensor 21 and triggering the reset signal, the baffle 14 is positioned in the standard position. By setting up light sensing, the wear caused by traditional mechanical sensing can be avoided, and the existing service life of 200 hours can be increased to more than 400 hours.

[0030] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a cleaning unit 3 is provided on the movement trajectory of the reflector 22;

[0031] The cleaning unit 3 includes a mounting bracket 31 mounted on the mounting plate 13, a trigger component 32 mounted on the mounting bracket 31, a linear component 33 mounted on the mounting bracket 31, and a cleaning component 34 mounted on the linear component 33.

[0032] It should be noted that a cleaning unit 3 is installed along the movement trajectory of the reflector 22 to clean the surface of the reflector 22 and prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the reflector 22 after long-term use, thus preventing it from affecting the sensing.

[0033] Mounting bracket 31 is mounted on mounting plate 13 and located on the movement trajectory of reflector 22. A trigger component 32 is provided on mounting bracket 31, and a linear component 33 is mounted on mounting bracket 31. A cleaning component 34 is fixedly connected to the moving end of linear component 33.

[0034] The baffle 14 acts on the trigger component 32, which activates the linear component 33 to drive the cleaning component 34 to contact the surface of the conveyor belt 11. Then the cleaning component 34 is activated to clean the movement trajectory of the reflector 22 and clean the reflector 22 at the same time to ensure that the surface of the reflector 22 is clean.

[0035] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the trigger assembly 32 includes a mounting box 321 disposed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 31, a trigger switch 322 disposed in the inner cavity of the mounting box 321, a pressing plate 323 slidably disposed on the mounting box 321, and a spring 324 disposed above the pressing plate 323.

[0036] The top of the extrusion plate 323 is in contact with the trigger button of the trigger switch 322;

[0037] The linear assembly 33 includes a slide rail 331 disposed on the side of the mounting frame 31, a lifting frame 332 slidably disposed on the slide rail 331, and a miniature cylinder 333 disposed between the lifting frame 332 and the mounting frame 31.

[0038] The cleaning assembly 34 includes a motor 341 mounted on the lifting frame 332, a mounting plate 342 mounted on the output end of the motor 341, and a sponge 343 mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 342.

[0039] It should be noted that the mounting box 321 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 31, and a trigger switch 322 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the mounting box 321. A pressing plate 323 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 321. The top of the pressing plate 323 is in contact with the trigger button of the trigger switch 322. The trigger switch 322 will not be triggered by a single press, but will be triggered by a double press. A spring 324 is provided between the pressing plate 323 and the mounting box 321. The spring 324 will push the pressing plate 323 towards the conveyor belt 11. The bottom surface of the pressing plate 323 is an arc-shaped surface.

[0040] The slide rail 331 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting frame 31. The lifting frame 332 is slidably connected to the slide rail 331. A miniature cylinder 333 is connected between the lifting frame 332 and the mounting frame 31. A motor 341 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 332. The output end of the motor 341 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 342. A sponge 343 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 342. The sponge 343 can prevent the reflector 22 from being scratched.

[0041] During use, the baffle 14 moves, triggering the squeezing plate 323 twice. The squeezing plate 323 presses the trigger switch upwards twice, triggering the micro cylinder 333 to push the lifting 332 downwards. Simultaneously, the motor 341 drives the sponge 343 to rotate, wiping the reflector 22 to ensure its surface remains clean. Importantly, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
