[0047] Currently, the goods-to-person process involves the picking machine moving the tote to the operator, then adjusting the tote's tilt angle so that its opening faces the operator. This process is time-consuming and reduces overall picking efficiency.
[0048] In view of this, the present utility model provides a picking belt conveyor, which includes: a picking table, the picking table including a support base 1, a conveyor belt 2 and a drive mechanism 3; the conveyor belt 2 is rotatably engaged with the support base 1, and the plane on which it is located forms an angle θ with the horizontal plane, and 0° < θ < 10°; the drive mechanism 3 is installed on the support base 1 and is connected to the conveyor belt 2 for transmission to drive the conveyor belt 2 to rotate.
[0049] In this picking conveyor belt, the conveyor belt 2 is movably set on the support base 1 in an orientation that intersects with the horizontal plane, and the angle can be 1°, 4°, 7° or 9°, etc. When the drive mechanism 3 is started, the conveyor belt 2 will rotate. Under the action of friction with the conveyor belt 2, the turnover box can be stably placed on the conveyor belt 2 and transported to the operator, making it convenient for the operator to pick materials. After the picking is completed, the turnover box returns to the main line and is put into storage under the drive of the conveyor belt 2.
[0050] It is evident that this picking conveyor belt can drive the turnover box in and out of the picking table, and when realizing the goods-to-person operation, there is no need to adjust the tilt angle of the turnover box, thus saving the time of goods-to-person and improving picking efficiency.
[0051] In this embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support 1 includes a base 101 and a frame 102. The base 101 is a right trapezoid and there are two of them. The two bases 101 are distributed in parallel and the angle between the inclined surface of the base 101 and the horizontal plane is θ. The frame 102 is U-shaped. Its two opposite side plates are respectively seated on the inclined surfaces of the two bases 101 and bolted to the bases 101. The other side plate is located at the lower part of the base 101, which is the baffle.
[0052] As described above, the drive mechanism 3 includes a driven roller and a drive unit; multiple driven rollers are provided, and the multiple driven rollers are distributed in parallel, with their two ends respectively rotatably connected to two opposite side plates; in one embodiment of this application, the drive unit includes an electric drum, which is parallel to the driven rollers, and its two ends are also rotatably connected to two opposite side plates respectively; the conveyor belt 2 is sleeved on and tensioned on each driven roller and the electric drum.
[0053] In other embodiments, the drive unit includes a drive roller and a motor; the drive roller and the driven roller are parallel to each other, and their two ends are rotatably connected to two opposite side plates respectively; the conveyor belt 2 is sleeved and tensioned on each driven roller and the drive roller; the output end of the motor is connected to the drive roller.
[0054] With the above design, the conveyor belt 2 forms an angle with the horizontal plane; when the electric roller starts, it cooperates with the driven roller and the conveyor belt 2 to make the conveyor belt 2 rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Under the action of friction with the conveyor belt 2, the turnover box can enter and exit the picking table through the opening on one side of the frame 102.
[0055] More preferably, refer to Figure 1 There should be at least two picking stations, arranged side by side in a straight line. Both picking stations operate simultaneously, which improves picking efficiency.
[0056] In this embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The picking conveyor also includes a control console, which includes a control panel and is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 3.
[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the control panel also includes a mounting frame 4, which includes a top plate 401 that spans across each picking station. Upright plates 402 are bolted to both ends of the top plate 401, and flat plates 403 are bolted to both upright plates 402. The control panel is fixed to the top plate 401, which facilitates the operation and viewing of new work updates by the operator.

Preferably, the fixing method is bolt connection. During picking, the electric roller is started by controlling the control panel. After the turnover box moves to the opening of the frame 102, it moves to the baffle and stops under the drive of the conveyor belt 2, and the operator begins picking. After picking is completed, the electric roller is controlled again by the control panel to make the turnover box rotate out of the picking table.
