[0035] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0036] The following is for reference. Figures 1-5 This application describes a logistics sorting device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0037] A logistics sorting device 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes a base 1, a conveying section 2, a diversion section 3, a collection device 4, a vision sensing device 5, and a detection device 6. The conveying section 2 is disposed on the base 1 and is used to move the sorted items. The diversion section 3 is connected to the conveying section 2 and has multiple output ports 31. The diversion section 3 can selectively convey sorted items toward any one of the output ports 31. Multiple collection devices 4 are constructed, and each collection device 4 is disposed at a corresponding output port 31 for collecting sorted items. The vision sensing device 5 is disposed on the base 1 and is used to identify the type of sorted items passing through the conveying section 2, and control the diversion section 3 to convey the corresponding sorted items to the corresponding output port 31 according to the type of sorted items. The detection device 6 is disposed at at least one output port 31 of the diversion section 3 and is used to detect the remaining capacity in the corresponding collection device 4.
[0038] The visual sensing device 5 is installed on the base 1 and can use image recognition technology and preset algorithms to identify the type of sorted items passing through the conveyor 2. This avoids the long judgment time and low accuracy caused by manual identification, greatly shortens the time required to judge the type of sorted items, and ensures the accuracy of identification. The conveyor 2 is installed on the base 1 and continuously drives the sorted items to move at a stable speed, providing continuous item transportation for the sorting process. This ensures that the sorted items can quickly enter the subsequent stages and avoids the problems of slow speed and intermittent stops when manually handling items.
[0039] Once the visual sensing device 5 identifies the type of item to be sorted, it sends a control command to the sorting unit 3 based on the identification result. The sorting unit 3 is connected to the conveying unit 2 and has multiple output ports 31. It can transport the sorted items to the corresponding output ports 31 according to the command. The automated sorting process avoids errors and confusion that may occur in manual operation, and greatly improves the accuracy and smoothness of the sorting process. Multiple collection devices 4 are respectively set at the corresponding output ports 31. After the sorted items are sorted, they can collect the sorted items, which greatly reduces the time that the sorted items stay in each stage and further improves the sorting efficiency.
[0040] In addition, the detection device 6 is installed at at least one output port 31 of the diversion section 3 to monitor the remaining capacity in the corresponding collection device 4 in real time. If a collection device 4 is detected to be about to be full, the system can take countermeasures, such as arranging personnel to replace the collection device 4 in advance, or adjusting the diversion strategy to transport subsequent similar sorted items to other collection devices 4 that still have remaining capacity. This effectively avoids the interruption of the sorting process due to the collection device 4 being full, and ensures the high efficiency and continuity of the entire logistics sorting process.
[0041] In short, the visual sensing device 5 can identify the type of sorted items, saving time and effort for manual identification and reducing the probability of errors. The conveyor 2 continuously and stably drives the sorted items to move, ensuring the speed of item flow and avoiding the slow pace caused by manual handling. After identification, the visual sensing device 5 controls the diversion section 3, which sends the sorted items to the corresponding output port 31 according to the instructions, realizing automated classification and improving the accuracy and efficiency of diversion. Multiple collection devices 4 collect the sorted items corresponding to the output ports 31, which can quickly store them and reduce the time that sorted items spend in each stage. The detection device 6 monitors the remaining capacity of the collection devices 4 and adjusts them in advance according to the remaining capacity to prevent the sorting process from being interrupted due to the collection devices 4 being full, ensuring that the entire sorting process is efficient and continuous. Through the coordinated operation of each part, the efficiency of logistics sorting can be further improved.
[0042] According to some embodiments of the present application, the logistics sorting device 100 includes a collection device 4, which is disposed on a base 1. The collection device 41 forms a plurality of receiving spaces 411 for receiving sorted items. The output port 31 of the diversion section 3 can be selectively associated with any one of the receiving spaces 411, or the collection device 41 can selectively associate any one of the receiving spaces 411 with the output port 31. The detection device 6 is used to detect the remaining capacity of the corresponding receiving space 411. The collection device 41 or the output port 31 of the diversion section 3 moves relative to each other according to the remaining capacity to switch to another corresponding receiving space 411.
[0043] The detection device 6 can monitor the remaining capacity of the containment space 411 in real time. When it is detected that a containment space 411 is about to be filled or the remaining capacity of the containment space 411 reaches the limit, the collection component 41 or the output port 31 of the diversion section 3 will start to move relative to each other.
[0044] When the collection component 41 moves, since the collection component 41 is set on the base 1, the unfilled receiving space 411 can be switched to correspond to the output port 31 of the diversion section 3 through a preset track or mechanical transmission device. During the sorting process, the sorted items will not be interrupted because a certain receiving space 411 is full.
[0045] When the output port 31 of the diversion section 3 moves, it can be adjusted to correspond with another available receiving space 411 based on the information fed back by the detection device 6, via an adjustable robotic arm or other transmission mechanism. This ensures that the sorted items can be collected continuously and smoothly without having to stop sorting to wait for the collection container to be replaced.
[0046] Multiple containment spaces 411 enable the collection device 4 to continuously accept large quantities of sorted items without interrupting the sorting process. Compared to a traditional single collection container, this reduces the time wasted due to frequent replacements caused by container capacity limitations. Moreover, this mechanism of automatically switching containment spaces 411 based on remaining capacity achieves fully automated operation, reducing the need for manual intervention. This not only lowers labor costs but also avoids sorting errors or inefficiencies caused by untimely manual operation.
[0047] According to some embodiments of the present application, in the logistics sorting device 100, the collection component 41 is movably disposed on the base 1 so that the opening of any one of the receiving spaces 411 is optionally aligned with the output port 31 of the diversion section 3.
[0048] The collection component 41 can be slidably mounted on the base 1. When the detection device 6 detects that the sorted items in a certain receiving space 411 are almost full and the remaining capacity is insufficient, the collection component 41 can be slidably moved. Through the track sliding mechanism driven by the motor 111, the collection component 41 can move the opening of another empty or incomplete receiving space 411 to be directly opposite the output port 31 of the diversion section 3. The sorted items output by the diversion section 3 can be continuously collected, thereby greatly improving the continuity of the sorting process.
[0049] According to some embodiments of the present application, the logistics sorting device 100 has a base 1 with a guide rail 11 extending in the same direction as the conveying section 2; the collection component 41 includes a moving section 412 and a collection section 413. The moving section 412 is configured as a plurality of parts and each of them cooperates with the guide rail 11. The moving section 412 moves along the extension of the guide rail 11. The collection section 413 is configured as a plurality of parts corresponding one-to-one with the moving section 412. A receiving space 411 for receiving sorted items is formed in the collection section 413.
[0050] A guide rail 11 aligned with the extension direction of the conveyor section 2 is provided on the base 1 to guide the movement of the collection component 41. Multiple moving parts 412 cooperate with the guide rail 11 and can move smoothly along the extension direction of the guide rail 11. When the receiving space 411 in a certain collection section 413 is almost full, the corresponding moving part 412 can respond quickly. The moving part 412 quickly moves the full collection section 413 away and moves the empty or incomplete collection section 413 to the position corresponding to the output port 31 of the diversion section 3. This ensures that the sorted items can be continuously output from the diversion section 3 and collected, avoiding sorting interruptions caused by insufficient collection space. This greatly improves the continuity of the sorting process. In high-volume logistics sorting scenarios, a large number of sorted items can pass through smoothly every minute, ensuring the efficient operation of the entire sorting process. The collection component 41 is arranged along the guide rail 11 aligned with the extension direction of the conveyor section 2, making the entire logistics sorting device 100 more rational in terms of space utilization. Within the limited space, the movement path of the collection component 41 matches that of the conveyor 2, avoiding wasted space. The compact design of multiple moving parts 412 and collection parts 413 further saves space compared to scattered collection containers. Different collection parts 413 can be arranged closely on the guide rail 11 according to actual needs, maximizing the use of space on the base 1 without affecting the movement operation, providing more optimization possibilities for the layout of the logistics sorting area and improving the overall space utilization rate.
[0051] According to some embodiments of the present application, the logistics sorting device 100 has a guide rail 11 with threads and is rotatably disposed on the base 1, and each moving part 412 is threadedly engaged with the guide rail 11.
[0052] The guide rail 11 is provided with threads and is rotatably mounted on the base 1. Each moving part 412 is in threaded engagement with the guide rail 11. When it is necessary to move the collection part 413 to a position corresponding to the output port 31 of the shunt part 3, by driving the guide rail 11 to rotate, the moving part 412 can be made to perform a translational movement along the guide rail 11. Since the pitch of the thread is fixed and precise, there is a definite corresponding relationship between the angle of rotation of the guide rail 11 and the linear displacement of the moving part 412. The motor 111 drives the guide rail 11 to rotate a certain number of turns. According to the pitch and the lead of the thread, the moving distance of the moving part 412 can be accurately calculated, so as to accurately move the collection part 413 to the designated position, ensuring the quick and accurate docking of the collection part 413 with the output port 31 of the shunt part 3, greatly improving the sorting efficiency. The threaded engagement method is more stable and reliable during the movement process, without sliding or displacement deviation, ensuring the continuity and stability of the logistics sorting process.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, it further includes a motor 111. The output shaft of the motor 111 is connected to one end of the guide rail 11 for driving the rotation of the guide rail 11. By controlling the motor 111 that drives the guide rail 11 to rotate, the remote or program control of the moving part 412 can be achieved. In the entire logistics sorting system, visual sensing devices 5, detection devices 6, etc. can be linked with the motor 111 that controls the rotation of the guide rail 11. When the detection device 6 monitors that the receiving space 411 of a certain collection part 413 is about to be full, the system will automatically send a signal to the controller that controls the motor 111. The motor 111 drives the guide rail 11 to rotate a corresponding angle according to the preset program, and moves another empty collection part 413 to a suitable position. The automated control process reduces manual intervention, improves the automation degree of the sorting process, further enhances the sorting efficiency, and at the same time reduces the errors that may be caused by manual operations.
[0054] According to the logistics sorting device 100 of some embodiments of the present application, the collection part 413 is configured as a flexible bag and is detachably arranged on the moving part 412.
[0055] The collection part 413 is configured as a flexible bag. The flexible bag can automatically adjust its shape according to the shape and quantity of the sorted items, effectively utilizing the space. When not full, the flexible bag does not occupy too much space. The sorted items in the receiving space 411 can closely fit other sorted items, allowing more sorted items to be arranged, improving the overall space utilization rate. For some sorted items with irregular shapes, rigid containers may not be able to fully utilize the space due to the item shape, while the flexible bag can well wrap these items, reducing voids. At the same time, during the logistics sorting process, as the sorted items are continuously collected, the flexible bag gradually fills up. Its flexible characteristics ensure that even in a limited space, continuous collection can be carried out without prematurely terminating the collection process due to space limitations, thus optimizing the storage link in the sorting process.
[0056] The collection unit 413 is detachably mounted on the moving unit 412, facilitating maintenance and replacement. During the logistics sorting process, flexible bags may become damaged due to prolonged use or sharp edges of items. When a flexible bag is damaged, staff can quickly remove it from the moving unit 412 and replace it with a new one, without requiring complex repairs or replacements of the entire collection assembly 41. This saves maintenance time, reduces equipment downtime, and improves the overall operating efficiency of the logistics sorting device 100. Simultaneously, the detachable design facilitates regular cleaning and inspection of the flexible bags, ensuring they maintain good performance during the collection and sorting process and reducing sorting errors or item damage caused by problems with the collection unit 413.
[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the moving part 412 is provided with mounting hooks 4121 at intervals, and the collecting part 413 is provided with mounting holes 4131 that are spaced apart from the mounting hooks 4121. The collecting part 413 and the moving part 412 are detachably connected by the cooperation of the mounting hooks 4121 and the mounting holes 4131.
[0058] According to some embodiments of the present application, the logistics sorting device 100 and the collection device 4 further include a fragile item conveying component 42, which is disposed on the base 1. A conveying channel 421 is formed on the fragile item conveying component 42. The inlet of the conveying channel 421 is correspondingly disposed with another outlet 31. At least a portion of the edge of the conveying channel 421 is provided with a guardrail 422, and a flexible member is provided on the side of the guardrail 422 facing the conveying channel 421.
[0059] The fragile item conveying assembly 42 is mounted on the base 1. The inlet of its conveying channel 421 corresponds to another outlet 31 of the diversion section 3, ensuring that fragile items can smoothly transition from the diversion section 3 to the conveying assembly during the sorting process, avoiding the risk of falling or colliding due to poor docking. The guardrails 422 provided at least part of the edges of the conveying channel 421 effectively prevent fragile items from falling due to accidental deviation from the track during the conveying process. The flexible parts provided on the side of the guardrails 422 facing the conveying channel 421 further enhance the protective effect. When fragile items make slight contact with the guardrails 422, the flexible parts can act as a buffer to absorb the impact force and avoid damage caused by direct collision. For fragile items such as glass products, even if there is slight shaking and contact with the guardrails 422 during the conveying process, the flexible parts can protect them from being broken.
[0060] It should be noted that fragile items refer to items that are easily broken or damaged when subjected to minor external impacts, vibrations, or compression. These items can be glass products, ceramic products, plastic products, or electronic products.
[0061] According to some embodiments of the present application, the logistics sorting device 100 includes a fragile item conveying assembly 42 comprising a pallet 423 and rollers 424. The pallet 423 is connected to a base 1, and a conveying channel 421 is formed on the pallet 423. One end of the pallet 423 is connected to another output port 31. At least a portion of the edges of the pallet 423 are provided with guardrails 422. A plurality of rollers 424 are rotatably disposed on the pallet 423, and the rotation direction of the rollers 424 is the same as the conveying direction of the conveying channel 421.
[0062] Multiple rollers 424 are rotatably mounted on the tray 423, and their rotation direction is the same as the conveying direction of the conveying channel 421. This ensures that the friction force on fragile items is relatively uniform during the conveying process. When fragile items are placed on the rollers 424, the rolling of the rollers 424 can easily move the fragile items along the conveying channel 421, reducing resistance during the conveying process and reducing the risk of damage caused by uneven local force. The smooth rolling of the rollers 424 can avoid vibration caused by excessive friction, ensuring the safe conveying of items. One end of the tray 423 is connected to another output port 31 of the diversion section 3, ensuring a smooth transition of fragile items from the diversion section 3 to the conveying channel 421. At least part of the edges of the tray 423 are provided with guardrails 422, which provide effective protection for fragile items during the conveying process. Even if some unexpected situations occur during the conveying process, such as a sudden change in conveying speed or slight vibration of the equipment, the guardrails 422 can prevent fragile items from falling from the conveying channel 421, greatly reducing the possibility of damage to the items.
[0063] According to some embodiments of the present application, the logistics sorting device 100 includes a conveyor section 2 comprising at least two conveyor belts, and a diversion section 3 disposed between the at least two conveyor belts.
[0064] The conveying section 2 includes at least two conveyor belts, with the diversion section 3 disposed between them. When sorted items are conveyed to the diversion section 3 along the conveyor belt upstream of the diversion section 3, the diversion section 3 can make a judgment based on the type of sorted items identified by the visual sensing device 5 and guide them to the corresponding collection device 4 or the conveyor belt downstream of the diversion section 3. It can be understood that the collection section 413 can be used to collect sorted items that can enter the receiving space 411 from the opening, while the fragile item conveying component 42 can be used to handle the sorted items of fragile items. The remaining sorted items can be diverted to other conveyor belts through the diversion section 3, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of sorting, avoids misdelivery of sorted items, and ensures that various items can quickly enter the corresponding processing flow.
[0065] It should be noted that at least one conveyor belt is provided downstream of the diversion section 3, and multiple conveyor belts downstream of the diversion section 3 can be connected to different output ports 31 of the diversion section 3. In some embodiments of this application, a conveyor belt is provided downstream of the diversion section 3, and the downstream conveyor belt of the diversion section 3 is correspondingly provided to one of the output ports 31 of the diversion section 3.
[0066] According to some embodiments of the present application, a logistics sorting device 100 has a base 1 on which a gantry 12 is provided. The gantry 12 spans the conveyor section 2 and is located upstream of the diversion section 3. A visual sensing device 5 is provided on the top of the gantry 12 facing the conveyor section 2.
[0067] The visual sensor 5 is positioned on the top of the gantry 12 facing the conveyor section 2, providing it with a high-level field of view. This allows the sensor to cover the sorted items on the conveyor section 2, facilitating feature capture or scanning of the logistics codes on the items. This provides a basis for accurate subsequent sorting. Furthermore, since the visual sensor is located upstream of the sorting section 3, it can complete the identification process before the items arrive at the section 3, giving the system sufficient time to make a judgment based on the identification results and control the sorting section 3 to transport the items to the corresponding output port 31. When fragile items pass through the conveyor section 2, the vision sensor 5 identifies them in advance, and the diversion section 3 can prepare in advance to ensure that the fragile items enter the fragile item conveyor assembly 42, which improves sorting efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, the gantry 12 straddles the conveyor section 2, making use of the space above the conveyor section 2, avoiding the space occupied by setting up a separate support structure for the vision sensor 5 on the ground or in other locations. This makes the structure of the entire logistics sorting device 100 more compact, effectively saving space in the limited logistics sorting area, leaving more space for other equipment or operating areas, and improving the utilization rate of site space.
[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the diversion section 3 is constructed as a diversion plate, with multiple rollers 32 arranged at intervals on the surface of the diversion plate. Correspondingly, receiving grooves 33 are provided on the diversion plate to accommodate the rollers 32. The rollers 32 are rotatably disposed in the receiving grooves 33, and the rotation directions of two adjacent rollers 32 are different. The multiple rollers 32 are arranged in a roller array on the diversion plate, and each roller 32 can rotate independently to provide power for the sorted items during the diversion process, helping the sorted items move along the diversion direction of the diversion plate. The spacing between the rollers 32 is uniform to ensure that the items can smoothly transition from one roller 32 to the next roller 32 when passing through.
[0069] In some embodiments of this application, a processing device 7 is also included, which is communicatively connected to the visual sensing device 5 and the detection device 6 to process the data collected by the visual sensing device 5 and the detection device 6. The processing device 7 is disposed on the base 1.
