Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting equipment, specifically to a sorting trolley and a flipping sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] In automated logistics and warehousing systems, tipping sorters with sorting trolleys are a commonly used type of automated equipment. They achieve the sorting and transportation of goods by controlling the movement of the sorting trolleys on a track. The unloading of the sorting trolleys is mainly achieved by a motor-driven reduction mechanism, which rotates the trolley's bucket to achieve tipping. However, in traditional sorting trolleys, the bucket can only tip in one direction, affecting the overall sorting efficiency of the tipping sorter. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: to provide a sorting cart, including:
[0004] The cargo bed, used for placing items;

The connection between the two sliding grooves and the limiting groove is located at the lowest point of the two sliding grooves. When the elastic element is reset, it pushes the locking part to slide along the sliding groove in a direction away from the limiting groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the elastic element is a compression spring or a rubber component.
[0013] Furthermore, the trigger is a push-pull electromagnet or a cylinder.
[0014] Furthermore, the rotating bracket and the trigger bracket are connected by bearings, the rotating bracket and the fixed bracket are rotatably connected by bearings, and the elastic element is not on the rotation axis between the rotating bracket and the trigger bracket.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a carrier for supporting the fixed bracket, the carrier having at least three rollers, and the carrier being slidably mounted on the annular track of the tilting sorting machine via the rollers.
[0016] Furthermore, the rollers are provided in three parts, which are respectively located on both sides of the central axis of the carrier's movement direction and on one end of the carrier near the gantry of the flipping sorting machine.
[0017] Based on the technical problems existing in the prior art, the second objective of this utility model embodiment is to provide a flipping sorting machine including the sorting trolley provided by any of the above solutions, and also including a gantry frame and a circular track. The gantry frame is used to support the circular track, and the circular track is provided with a linear motor for driving the sorting trolley to move.
[0018] Furthermore, a frame is provided on the circular track, and the frame and the carrier are slidably connected by rollers.

[0029] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This drawing is a simplified schematic diagram, illustrating only the basic aspects of the present utility model, and therefore only shows the components relevant to the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 This embodiment provides a sorting cart 3, including a cart 34, a fixed bracket 31, a trigger bracket 35, and a rotating bracket 37. The cart 34 is used to place items, and two trigger elements 33 are symmetrically distributed on both sides along the entire moving direction of the sorting cart 3. A locking plate 32 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 31, and the locking plate 32 is provided with a locking groove 321. The trigger bracket 35 is connected to a locking rod 351 corresponding to the locking groove 321. The rotating bracket 37 is fixedly connected to the cart 34, rotatably connected to the trigger bracket 35, and rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 31. An elastic element 36 is provided between the rotating bracket 37 and the trigger bracket 35.
[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, both triggers 33 are inclined, and the output ends of the two triggers 33 are close to the fixed bracket 31 relative to the outer shell of the triggers 33.
[0032] Two triggers 33 are used to simultaneously push the trigger bracket 35 to move the locking rod 351 away from the locking groove 321. At this time, the elastic element 36 is compressed. Any one of the triggers 33 pushes the corresponding end of the trigger bracket 35 to further compress the elastic element 36 to one side. When the elastic element 36 is reset, it pushes the locking rod 351 to slide along the locking groove 321 and causes one end of the truck bed 34 to gradually rise, eventually causing the truck bed 34 to flip.
[0033] For further details, please refer to Figure 7 The locking lever 351 includes a locking part 3511 and a connecting part 3512. The connecting part 3512 is connected to the trigger bracket 35. The locking groove 321 includes a limiting groove 3211 and a sliding groove 3212. The locking part 3511 and the limiting groove 3211 are corresponding to each other. The sliding groove 3212 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the limiting groove 3211 and is inclined. The two sliding grooves 3212 are distributed in a V-shape. The connection between the two sliding grooves 3212 and the limiting groove 3211 is located at the lowest point of the two sliding grooves 3212. When the elastic member 36 is reset, it pushes the locking part 3511 to slide along the sliding groove 3212 away from the limiting groove 3211.
[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 7 The main body of the fixed bracket 31 is inverted U-shaped, and the trigger bracket 35 is a square frame structure. The end of the fixed bracket 31 passes through the through groove on the trigger bracket 35 and is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket 37.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two triggers 33 simultaneously push the trigger bracket 35 to move the locking rod 351 away from the locking groove 321 until the locking part 3511 disengages from the limiting groove 3211. At this time, the elastic member 36 is compressed. The trigger 33 on the left side of the fixed bracket 31 then drives the left end of the trigger bracket 35 to rotate to the right, thereby pushing the elastic member 36 to be further compressed to the right. When the elastic member 36 is reset, it pushes the trigger bracket 35 to move the locking part 3511 along the sliding groove 3212 on the left side of the limiting groove 3211 away from the limiting groove 3211, and causes the left end of the truck bed 34 to gradually rise and the right end of the truck bed 34 to gradually fall, eventually causing the truck bed 34 to flip to the right.
[0036] When the truck bed 34 needs to be reset, the trigger 33 located on the left side of the fixed bracket 31 resets, and the trigger 33 located on the right side of the fixed bracket 31 drives the right end of the trigger bracket 35 to rotate to the left, thereby pushing the elastic member 36 to compress to the left. When the elastic member 36 resets, it pushes the trigger bracket 35 to drive the locking part 3511 to slide along the sliding groove 3212 on the left side of the limiting groove 3211 towards the limiting groove 3211, until the locking part 3511 is directly above the limiting groove 3211. The trigger bracket 35 drives the right end of the truck bed 34 to gradually rise and the left end of the truck bed 34 to gradually lower through the bearing 38. The two ends of the truck bed 34 are finally on the same line, and then the output ends of the two triggers 33 are driven to descend at the same time, so that the locking part 3511 falls into the limiting groove 3211, and finally the truck bed 34 is reset.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the sliding of the locking part 3511 into the sliding groove 3212 after it moves out of the limiting groove 3211, the connection between the sliding groove 3212 and the limiting groove 3211 is provided with rounded corners.
[0038] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the elastic element 36 can be a compression spring or a rubber component. One end of the elastic element 36 is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 37, and the other end of the elastic element 36 is fixedly connected to the trigger bracket 35. In the accompanying drawings corresponding to this embodiment, the elastic element 36 is a compression spring. Please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The rotating bracket 37 and the trigger bracket 35 are connected by bearings 38, and the rotating bracket 37 and the fixed bracket 31 are rotatably connected by bearings 38. The elastic element 36 is not on the rotation axis between the rotating bracket 37 and the trigger bracket 35. The two bearings 38 used to connect the rotating bracket 37 and the trigger bracket 35 are symmetrically distributed about the width of the fixed bracket 31, and the two bearings 38 used to connect the rotating bracket 37 and the fixed bracket 31 are symmetrical about the length of the fixed bracket 31. Figure 7 Only one of the two bearings 38 used to connect the rotating bracket 37 and the fixed bracket 31 is shown.
[0039] It is understood that the straight line formed by the two bearings 38 used to connect the rotating bracket 37 and the trigger bracket 35 is the axis of rotation between the rotating bracket 37 and the trigger bracket 35. The position of the elastic element 36 does not coincide with this axis of rotation, so that when the trigger element 33 pushes the trigger bracket, the trigger bracket 35 can undergo relative displacement with respect to the rotating bracket 37, thereby causing the elastic element 36 to be compressed and deformed.
[0040] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the trigger 33 can be a push-pull electromagnet or a cylinder. In the accompanying drawings corresponding to this embodiment, the trigger 33 is a push-pull electromagnet.
[0041] For further details, please refer to Figure 4 The sorting trolley 3 also includes a carrier 39 for supporting the fixed support 31. The carrier 39 is provided with at least three rollers 391 and is slidably mounted on the annular track 2 of the flipping sorting machine via the rollers 391.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are three rollers 391, which are respectively located on both sides of the central axis of the moving direction of the carrier 39 and on one end of the carrier 39 near the gantry 1 of the flipping sorting machine.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model embodiment also provides a flipping sorting machine for the sorting trolley 3 described in the above embodiment. The flipping sorting machine also includes a gantry frame 1 and a circular track 2. The gantry frame 1 is used to support the circular track 2. A linear motor 21 for driving the sorting trolley 3 to move is provided on the circular track 2.
[0044] Furthermore, multiple sorting carts 3 are connected sequentially on the circular track 2.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 A hollow frame 22 is provided on the circular track 2, and the frame 22 and the carrier 39 are slidably connected by rollers 391. Triggering elements 33 are all fixedly connected to the frame 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the width of the opening of the frame 22 is less than the distance between the two rollers 391 located on either side of the central axis of the carrier 39's movement direction, and the inner cavity of the frame 22 is fitted with three rollers 391. The frame 22 and the rollers 391 cooperate to limit the movement of the sorting cart 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the sorting cart 3 during movement.
[0046] As a specific embodiment of this utility model, the annular track 2 along... Figure 2 Rotating counterclockwise as indicated by the middle arrow, the circular track 2 includes a loading section, a unloading section, and a reset section. Several partitioned baffles (not shown in the figure) are sequentially arranged on the side of the unloading section away from the center of the circular track 2. Each baffle corresponds to a receiving mechanism (neither the baffle nor the receiving mechanism is shown in the figure). When the circular track 2 is running, workers place items into the hopper 34 in the loading section, and in the unloading section, drive the corresponding sorting trolley 3 to flip towards the baffle to dump the items into the receiving mechanism. The hopper 34 of the sorting trolley 3 located in the reset section flips back to its original position.
[0047] It is understood that the flipping direction of the sorting cart 3 in this embodiment is set according to the actual placement of the sorting cart 3, and the sorting cart 3 itself can flip on both sides.
[0048] As one specific embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 The gantry 1 is equipped with shock-absorbing pads 11, which are placed on the contact surface between the gantry 1 and the circular track 2. The installation of shock-absorbing pads 11 reduces the noise generated when the sorting trolley 3 moves. At the same time, the shock-absorbing pads 11 reduce stress concentration through elastic contact, preventing local deformation or cracking.
