[0026] This sorting component offers the advantage of facilitating goods classification. Operators pre-control the extension and retraction of the electric push rod output shaft in the drive mechanism. The electric push rod drives a rack through a connecting plate, which in turn drives a meshing gear, thus changing the angle of the support shaft. Operators control the extension and retraction of the electric push rod output shaft, as well as its movement distance, to change the direction and distance of the rack's movement. This allows for easy adjustment of the receiving frame output end at the top of the support plate to align with the desired conveyor belt. When goods fall into the receiving frame from the conveyor channel, they slide along the inclined frame onto the appropriate conveyor belt, which then transports them to the next step. This solves the problem in related technologies where goods easily fall from the sides of the conveyor belt during classification, reducing the efficiency of goods classification.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] See Figure 1-4A cargo sorting component for a packaging robot includes a conveying channel 1, on which a sorting component 2 is disposed. The sorting component 2 includes: a support 21 disposed below the output end of the conveying channel 1; a support shaft 22 rotatably connected to the top of the support 21; a support plate 23 fixedly connected to the top of the support shaft 22; a receiving frame 24 fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 23; a conveyor belt 25 symmetrically arranged around the periphery of the support 21; and a drive mechanism 26 disposed on the support 21 and the support shaft 22. The drive mechanism 26 includes: a gear 261 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support shaft 22; an electric push rod 262 disposed on the top of the support 21; a connecting plate 263 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the electric push rod 262; and a rack 264 slidably connected to the top of the support 21, one end of which is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 263, and the rack 264 meshes with the gear 261. The bottom of the rack 264 is fixedly connected to a slider 4, and the top of the support 21 is provided with a groove 41, in which the slider 4 is slidably connected.

[0038] In operation, the operator controls the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the electric push rod 262 in the drive mechanism 26. The electric push rod 262 drives the rack 264 to slide through the connecting plate 263. The rack 264 drives the gear 261 meshing with it to rotate, thereby changing the angle of the support shaft 22. The operator controls the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the electric push rod 262 and the distance of its movement to change the direction and distance of the rack 264's movement. This facilitates adjusting the output end of the receiving frame 24 on the top of the support plate 23 to face the desired conveyor belt 25. When goods fall into the receiving frame 24 from the conveying channel 1, they slide through the inclined receiving frame 24 onto the appropriate conveyor belt 25 and are then transported to the next operation step. Both the electric push rod 262 and the conveyor belt 25 are controlled by a PLC controller. The PLC controller sets corresponding programs according to different types of goods and sorting rules, enabling it to precisely control the extension and retraction and the distance of the output shaft of the electric push rod 262, thereby rotating the receiving frame 24 to a specific angle. When the electric push rod 262 controls the rack 264 to move, the rack 264 drives the bottom slider 4 to slide in the groove 41. The groove 41 and the slider 4 guide the movement of the rack 264, thereby increasing the stability of the rack 264 when it moves.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] An auxiliary function has been added based on Embodiment 1.

[0041] See Figure 1-4The slider 4 is inverted "T" shaped, and the groove 41 is adapted to the shape of the slider 4. A protective pad 3 is provided on the inner side wall of the receiving frame 24. Side plates 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 25.

[0042] The inverted "T"-shaped slider 4 and its matching groove 41 prevent the rack 264 from moving vertically, further improving the stability of the rack 264 during movement. When goods fall into the receiving frame 24, the rubber protective pad 3 absorbs the impact of the goods, reducing the collision between the goods and the receiving frame 24 and preventing damage to the goods. It also reduces noise and vibration generated during operation. When goods are conveyed on the corresponding side plates 5, the side plates 5 on both sides of the conveyor belt 25 prevent goods from falling off the sides of the conveyor belt 25, thus preventing damage to the goods and avoiding affecting the efficiency of goods sorting.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
