Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of express sorting auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a chute device based on a narrow strip machine sorting system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the logistics industry, the volume and variety of express parcels are increasing daily, leading to greater emphasis on sorting equipment for multi-category express parcels. Narrow belt sorting systems are finding wider applications. For the processing of parcels sorted by narrow belt sorting machines, chutes are generally used, making them an indispensable piece of equipment in the logistics industry. Currently, chute structures are relatively simple. However, due to significant differences in the descent effect of parcels of different sizes (due to variations in their weight and initial descent speed), some parcels may remain inside the chute and cannot be collected. Other parcels may fly out from the end of the chute, easily damaged by collisions, further affecting the sorting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing production technologies, the applicant provides a chute device based on a narrow-band sorting system. By improving the structure of the chute device, it is possible to sort express parcels of different sizes, thereby improving the sorting efficiency of express parcels.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A chute device based on a narrow-band sorting system includes: an inclined section, a horizontal section, a non-powered roller section, a damping roller section, and an electric roller section installed on the horizontal section along the sliding direction of express parcels, a weight sensor, and a speed sensor. The horizontal section is installed at the outlet of the inclined section, and the weight sensor and the speed sensor are both installed at the inlet of the inclined section. The weight sensor is used to detect the weight of the express parcels at the inlet of the inclined section, and the speed sensor is used to detect the speed of the express parcels at the inlet of the inclined section.

[0006] Therefore, by using a non-powered roller section, a damping roller section, and an electric roller section installed along the direction of the parcel's descent in the horizontal section, compared to existing methods without a deceleration mechanism in the horizontal section, this method has a simpler structure and is easier to operate. It can achieve deceleration processing for parcels of different sizes, avoiding damage caused by collisions due to high descent speed. It can sort parcels of different sizes, thereby improving the sorting efficiency. In addition, by using weight and speed sensors, the weight and speed of the parcels at the inclined section inlet can be obtained to determine the final sorting area of ​​the parcel, so as to quickly and accurately locate the parcel in the future.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the unpowered roller section includes: multiple unpowered rollers, which are distributed at equal intervals along the sliding direction of the express package, and the unpowered rollers are rotatably connected to the horizontal section.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the damping roller section includes: multiple damping rollers, which are distributed at equal intervals along the sliding direction of the express package, and the damping rollers are rotatably connected to the horizontal section.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the electric roller section includes: multiple electric rollers, which are distributed at equal intervals along the sliding direction of the express package, and the electric rollers are rotatably connected to the horizontal section.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the inclined section includes: a base plate and two first baffles, the two first baffles being located on both sides of the base plate respectively, the weight sensor being mounted on the base plate, and the speed sensor being mounted on the first baffles; the horizontal section includes: two second baffles, the second baffles being connected to the first baffles.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes: a first pushing part and a first guide plate. The first pushing part and the first guide plate are installed in the area of ​​the horizontal section relative to the unpowered roller section. The first pushing part is connected to one second baffle, and the first guide plate is connected to another second baffle. The first guide plate is inclined. The first pushing part is used to push the express parcels in the area of ​​the unpowered roller section towards the first guide plate, and guide them to the first sorting frame for collection through the first guide plate. The first pushing part includes: a driving member and a push plate. The driving member is connected to one second baffle, and the push plate is installed on the telescopic end of the driving member. Thus, the express parcels that have slowed down to the area of ​​the unpowered roller section are pushed to the first guide plate by the first pushing part and slide into the first sorting frame for collection.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes: a second pushing part and a second guide plate. The second pushing part and the second guide plate are installed in the area of ​​the horizontal section relative to the damping roller part. The second pushing part is connected to another second baffle, and the second guide plate is connected to one second baffle. The second guide plate is inclined. The second pushing part is used to push the express parcels in the area of ​​the damping roller part towards the second guide plate, and guide them to the second sorting frame for collection through the second guide plate. The structure of the second pushing part is the same as that of the first pushing part. Thus, the express parcels that have slowed down to the area of ​​the damping roller part are pushed to the second guide plate by the second pushing part and slide into the second sorting frame for collection.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes: a drive unit and a third guide plate. The drive unit is installed on the horizontal section and connected to the electric roller section. The third guide plate is installed on the side of the horizontal section away from the inclined section and is inclined. The drive unit drives the electric roller section to rotate, thereby decelerating the express packages in the area of ​​the electric roller section and pushing the express packages in the area of ​​the electric roller section towards the third guide plate, and then guiding them to the third sorting frame for collection. Thus, the express packages decelerated to the area of ​​the electric roller section are pushed to the third guide plate by the drive unit and slide into the third sorting frame for collection.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes: a buffer mechanism, which is installed on the inclined section and used for buffering and slowing down express parcels; the buffer mechanism includes: two buffer parts, which are symmetrically arranged and respectively installed on two first baffles; each buffer part includes: multiple buffer units evenly distributed along the sliding direction of the express parcel; each buffer unit includes: a buffer plate, a spring, a support rod, and a buffer pad, one end of the buffer plate is rotatably connected to the second baffle, the spring and the support rod are both located at the other end of the buffer plate, and both ends of the spring are respectively connected to the buffer plate and the slider, the support rod passes through the second baffle and is slidably connected to the slider, and the slider is slidably connected to the second baffle. Thus, the buffer mechanism can buffer and slow down express parcels sliding from the inlet to the outlet of the inclined section, preventing damage from collisions due to excessive speed.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the bottom of the inclined section and the horizontal section are also provided with support legs.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] By incorporating a non-powered roller section, a damping roller section, and an electric roller section along the direction of parcel descent in the horizontal section, this method offers a simpler structure and easier operation compared to existing methods without a deceleration mechanism in the horizontal section. This allows for the deceleration of parcels of different sizes, preventing damage from collisions caused by high descent speeds. It also enables the sorting of parcels of different sizes, improving sorting efficiency. Furthermore, weight and speed sensors can acquire the weight and speed of parcels at the inclined section's inlet to determine their final sorting location, facilitating quick and accurate locating of the parcel subsequently.

[0018] This utility model also has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. In this utility model, express parcels decelerated to the non-powered roller section area are pushed to the first guide plate by the first pushing part and slide into the first sorting frame for collection. Express parcels decelerated to the damping roller section area are pushed to the second guide plate by the second pushing part and slide into the second sorting frame for collection. Express parcels decelerated to the electric roller section area are pushed to the third guide plate by the driving part and slide into the third sorting frame for collection. In this way, express parcels of different specifications can be sorted.

[0020] 2. This utility model uses a buffer mechanism to buffer and slow down express packages that slide from the inclined section inlet to the inclined section outlet, so as to avoid collision damage caused by excessive speed when the express packages slide to the inclined section outlet.

[0054] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 6 The diagram shows the preferred embodiment of this utility model. The chute device based on the narrow strip machine sorting system in this embodiment includes: an inclined section 1, a horizontal section 2, a non-powered roller 3, a damping roller 4, and an electric roller 5 installed on the horizontal section 2 along the sliding direction of the express parcels, a weight sensor 6, and a speed sensor 7. The horizontal section 2 is installed at the outlet of the inclined section 1, and the weight sensor 6 and the speed sensor 7 are both installed at the inlet of the inclined section 1. The weight sensor 6 is used to detect the weight of the express parcels at the inlet of the inclined section 1, and the speed sensor 7 is used to detect the speed of the express parcels at the inlet of the inclined section 1. Therefore, by using the unpowered roller section 3, damping roller section 4, and electric roller section 5 arranged along the direction of the parcel's slide in the horizontal section 2, compared to the existing method where the horizontal section 2 does not have a speed reduction mechanism, this method has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can achieve speed reduction processing for parcels of different sizes, avoid damage to parcels due to collisions caused by high sliding speed, and sort parcels of different sizes to improve the sorting effect. In addition, the weight sensor 6 and speed sensor 7 can obtain the weight and speed of the parcel at the feed port of the inclined section 1 to obtain the final sorting area of ​​the parcel, so as to quickly and accurately find the parcel in the future.

[0056] In other words, the non-powered roller section 3, the damping roller section 4, and the electric roller section 5 can be used to sort three different sizes of express parcels, solving the problem of large differences in the sliding effect of express parcels of different sizes. Express parcels that remain in the areas of the non-powered roller section 3 and the damping roller section 4 are respectively pushed to the first sorting frame 10 by the first pushing section 8 and to the second sorting frame 13 by the second pushing section 11, thus solving the sorting of the express parcels that remain in the area. Express parcels in the area of ​​the electric roller section 5 will not fly out from the end of the horizontal section 2 due to excessive speed, thus solving the problem of significantly slowing down express parcels that are moving too fast.

[0057] In this embodiment, the unpowered roller section 3 includes a plurality of unpowered rollers 301, which are distributed at equal intervals along the direction of the express package's slide, and the unpowered rollers 301 are rotatably connected to the horizontal section 2.

[0058] In this embodiment, the damping roller section 4 includes a plurality of damping rollers 401, which are distributed at equal intervals along the sliding direction of the express package, and the damping rollers 401 are rotatably connected to the horizontal section 2.

[0059] In this embodiment, the electric roller section 5 includes a plurality of electric rollers 501, which are distributed at equal intervals along the direction of the express package's slide, and the electric rollers 501 are rotatably connected to the horizontal section 2.

[0060] In this embodiment, the inclined section 1 includes: a base plate 101 and two first baffles 102, the two first baffles 102 are respectively located on both sides of the base plate 101, the weight sensor 6 is installed on the base plate 101, and the speed sensor 7 is installed on the first baffles 102; the horizontal section 2 includes: two second baffles 201, the second baffles 201 are connected to the first baffles 102.

[0061] In this embodiment, the system further includes a first pushing part 8 and a first guide plate 9. The first pushing part 8 and the first guide plate 9 are installed in the area of ​​the horizontal section 2 relative to the unpowered roller section 3. The first pushing part 8 is connected to a second baffle 201, and the first guide plate 9 is connected to another second baffle 201. The first guide plate 9 is inclined. The first pushing part 8 is used to push the express packages in the area of ​​the unpowered roller section 3 toward the first guide plate 9, and guide them to the first sorting frame 10 for collection through the first guide plate 9. The first pushing part 8 includes a driving member 801 and a push plate 802. The driving member 801 is connected to a second baffle 201, and the push plate 802 is installed on the telescopic end of the driving member 801. Thus, the express packages that have slowed down to the area of ​​the unpowered roller section 3 are pushed to the first guide plate 9 by the first pushing part 8 and slide into the first sorting frame 10 for collection.

[0062] Specifically, the drive unit 801 is mounted on a second baffle 201 via a support block 803. In the initial state, the drive unit 801 and the push plate 802 are both located in the area of ​​one second baffle 201, and the first guide plate 9 is located in the area of ​​another second baffle 201. During sorting, the drive unit 801 drives the push plate 802 to move towards the side closer to the first guide plate 9, so as to push the express parcels in the area of ​​the unpowered roller section 3 to move towards the side closer to the first guide plate 9, and finally slide into the first sorting frame 10 for collection.

[0063] For example, the drive unit 801 uses a motor.

[0064] In this embodiment, the system further includes a second pushing section 11 and a second guide plate 12. The second pushing section 11 and the second guide plate 12 are installed in the area of ​​the horizontal section 2 relative to the damping roller section 4. The second pushing section 11 is connected to another second baffle 201, and the second guide plate 12 is connected to a second baffle 201. The second guide plate 12 is inclined. The second pushing section 11 is used to push the express parcels in the area of ​​the damping roller section 4 toward the second guide plate 12, and guide them to the second sorting frame 13 for collection. The structure of the second pushing section 11 is the same as that of the first pushing section 8. Thus, the express parcels that have slowed down to the area of ​​the damping roller section 4 are pushed to the second guide plate 12 by the second pushing section 11 and slide into the second sorting frame 13 for collection.

[0065] It should be noted that the first guide plate 9 and the second guide plate 12 are staggered and located on both sides of the horizontal section 2 to achieve the diversion of express parcels in the area of ​​the unpowered roller 301 and the area of ​​the damping roller 401.

[0066] In this embodiment, the system further includes a drive unit 14 and a third guide plate 15. The drive unit 14 is mounted on the horizontal section 2 and connected to the electric roller section 5. The third guide plate 15 is mounted on the side of the horizontal section 2 away from the inclined section 1 and is inclined. The drive unit 14 drives the electric roller section 5 to rotate, thereby decelerating the express packages in the area of ​​the electric roller section 5 and pushing the express packages in the area of ​​the electric roller section 5 toward the third guide plate 15, and then guiding them to the third sorting frame 16 for collection. Thus, the express packages decelerated to the area of ​​the electric roller section 5 are pushed to the third guide plate 15 by the drive unit 14 and slide into the third sorting frame 16 for collection.

[0067] In this embodiment, it further includes: a buffer mechanism 17, which is installed on the inclined section 1 and used for buffering and decelerating the express package; the buffer mechanism 17 includes: two buffer parts 18, which are symmetrically arranged and respectively installed on two first baffles 102; a single buffer part 18 includes: a plurality of buffer units 19 evenly distributed along the sliding direction of the express package; a single buffer unit 19 includes: a buffer plate 20, a spring 21, a support rod 22 and a buffer pad 23, one end of the buffer plate 20 is rotatably connected to the second baffle 201, the spring 21 and the support rod 22 are both located at the other end of the buffer plate 20, and the two ends of the spring 21 are respectively connected to the buffer plate 20 and the slider 24, the support rod 22 passes through the second baffle 201 and is slidably connected to the slider 24, and the slider 24 is slidably connected to the second baffle 201. Therefore, the buffer mechanism 17 can buffer and slow down the express parcels that slide from the feed inlet of the inclined section 1 to the discharge outlet of the inclined section 1, so as to avoid the express parcels that slide to the discharge outlet of the inclined section 1 from being damaged due to excessive speed.

[0068] In this embodiment, support legs 25 are also provided at the bottom of the inclined section 1 and the horizontal section 2.

[0069] The sorting process of express parcels according to this utility model is as follows: First, the express parcels sorted by the narrow belt machine slide down through the inclined section 1 and are decelerated by the buffer mechanism 17; then, after deceleration, the express parcels reach the horizontal section 2 and are further decelerated by passing through the unpowered roller section 3, the damping roller section 4, and the electric roller 501 in sequence; finally, the express parcels remaining in the area of ​​the unpowered roller section 3 slide down into the first sorting frame 10 for collection through the cooperation of the first pushing part 8 and the first guide plate 9; the express parcels remaining in the area of ​​the damping roller section 4 slide down into the second sorting frame 13 for collection through the cooperation of the second pushing part 11 and the second guide plate 12; and the parcels sliding down into the area of ​​the electric roller section 5 slide down into the third sorting frame 16 for collection through the cooperation of the driving part 14 and the third guide plate 15.

[0070] In summary, this utility model, by using a non-powered roller section 3, a damping roller section 4, and an electric roller section 5 arranged along the sliding direction of the express parcels in the horizontal section 2, offers a simpler structure and is easier to operate compared to existing methods that do not have a speed-reducing mechanism in the horizontal section 2. This allows for the speed reduction of express parcels of different sizes, preventing damage caused by collisions due to high sliding speeds. It also enables the sorting of express parcels of different sizes, improving the sorting efficiency. Furthermore, the weight sensor 6 and speed sensor 7 can obtain the weight and speed of the express parcels at the feed inlet of the inclined section 1, thus determining the final sorting area of ​​the express parcel and facilitating quick and accurate location of the parcel in subsequent operations.
