Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics sorting technology, and in particular to a flexibly adjustable logistics sorting and conveying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Logistics sorting and conveying equipment refers to material handling machinery used for classifying items. Its main function is to accurately classify random items of different categories with different destinations.

[0003] When sorting goods using logistics sorting and conveying equipment, barcode scanners scan and identify the labels on the goods. Then, during the conveying process, the goods are fed into the corresponding discharge port by the discharge mechanism for sorting. Existing logistics sorting and conveying equipment often uses multiple conveyor units connected end-to-end to complete transfer and sorting operations. This requires adjacent conveyor units to be staggered vertically to ensure that goods on the previous unit land intact on the next. Furthermore, to improve the stability of goods landing on the next conveyor unit, inclined chutes are often installed between the two units. However, the sliding of goods on these chutes can cause them to tip over due to inertia upon contact with the next conveyor unit. This results in labels that should be on top of the goods being on the side, affecting subsequent barcode scanning. Therefore, we propose a flexibly adjustable logistics sorting and conveying equipment to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology by proposing a flexible and adjustable logistics sorting and conveying device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a flexibly adjustable logistics sorting and conveying device is designed, including two parallel crossbeams, with drive rollers at both ends between the two crossbeams. The ends of the drive rollers are rotatably connected to the crossbeams, and a first drive motor is installed on one end of one of the drive rollers. The first drive motor is fixed on the crossbeam, and a conveyor belt is installed on the two drive rollers.

[0006] An inclined feeding chute is provided above one end of the conveyor belt, and the feeding chute is fixed to the crossbeam by a bracket. A camera is provided above the conveyor belt near the feeding chute. The camera is fixed to the top of the first U-shaped frame, and the end of the first U-shaped frame is fixed to the crossbeam.

[0007] A first linear motor is installed on both sides of the first U-shaped frame. The slide rail of the first linear motor is fixed on the inner wall of the first U-shaped frame. A second drive motor is installed on the slider of the first linear motor. A bidirectional cylinder is installed on the output end of the second drive motor. Clamping plates are installed at both ends of the bidirectional cylinder.

A first pushing mechanism is installed on the slider of the second linear motor, and a mounting base is installed at the bottom of the first pushing mechanism. A scanner is installed on the bottom of the mounting base. The scanner, the second linear motor, and the first pushing mechanism are all connected to the controller via wires.

[0011] Preferably, the discharge mechanism includes multiple parallel and inclined discharge troughs, each discharge trough is fixed on one of the crossbeams, and the top of the discharge trough corresponds to the side of the conveyor belt. A push plate is provided on the side of the discharge trough closest to the conveyor belt, and a second pushing mechanism is installed on the push plate.

[0016] 1. This flexibly adjustable logistics sorting and conveying equipment, through the operation of a first linear motor, a bidirectional cylinder, and a second drive motor, can clamp and flip goods that fall on the conveyor belt, so that the labels of the goods always remain facing upwards when they fall on the conveyor belt for easy scanning by the subsequent scanner.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-4 A flexibly adjustable logistics sorting and conveying device includes two parallel crossbeams 1, each with support legs at both ends for support. Drive rollers 2 are located at both ends between the two crossbeams 1, with their ends rotatably connected to the crossbeams 1. A first drive motor 3 is mounted on one end of one of the drive rollers 2 and fixed to the crossbeam 1. A conveyor belt 4 is mounted on both drive rollers 2, allowing the drive rollers 2 to rotate and drive the conveyor belt 4 for transmission, thereby conveying goods placed on the conveyor belt 4.

[0025] In order to improve the transmission effect of the conveyor belt 4 on the goods, multiple anti-slip strips 22 are installed on the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4 at intervals along the length of the conveyor belt 4, which increases the friction between the conveyor belt 4 and the goods.

[0026] Furthermore, multiple support rollers 5 are arranged at intervals between the two crossbeams 1. The ends of the support rollers 5 are rotatably connected to the crossbeams 1 to improve the support strength of the conveyor belt 4 for the goods.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an inclined feeding chute 6 is provided above one end of the conveyor belt 4, and the feeding chute 6 is fixed to the crossbeam 1 by a bracket. During the process of the goods sliding from the feeding chute 6 to the conveyor belt 4, the goods may deflect along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 4 due to their own inertia. Therefore, a camera 8 is provided above the conveyor belt 4 near the feeding chute 6. The camera 8 is fixed on the top of the first U-shaped frame 7, and the end of the first U-shaped frame 7 is fixed to the crossbeam 1. After the goods fall from the feeding chute 6 onto the conveyor belt 4, the camera 8 will take a picture of the goods that have fallen onto the conveyor belt 4, thereby determining the position of the label on the goods.

[0028] After determining the position of the label on the goods, if the label is not on the top surface of the goods, a first linear motor 9 is installed on both sides of the first U-shaped frame 7. The slide rail of the first linear motor 9 is fixed on the inner wall of the first U-shaped frame 7, and a second drive motor 10 is installed on the slider of the first linear motor 9. A bidirectional cylinder 11 is installed on the output end of the second drive motor 10, and clamping plates 12 are installed at both ends of the bidirectional cylinder 11. The first linear motor 9 will move the bidirectional cylinder 11 to both sides of the goods and drive the clamping plates 12 to clamp the goods. Then the first linear motor 9 will lift the goods and drive the goods to flip under the operation of the second drive motor 10 so that the label side of the goods is facing upwards. Finally, the goods are placed back on the conveyor belt 4 to wait for sorting.

[0029] As the conveyor belt 4 continues to transport goods, a scanning mechanism and a discharge mechanism are sequentially arranged along the length of the crossbeam 1 on the side of the first U-shaped frame 7 away from the unloading chute 6.

[0030] Specifically, the scanning mechanism includes a second U-shaped frame 13 with its opening facing downwards and its end fixed to a crossbeam 1. A second linear motor 14 is installed at the top inside the second U-shaped frame 13, and the slide rail of the second linear motor 14 is fixed to the second U-shaped frame 13. A first pushing mechanism 15 is installed on the slider of the second linear motor 14, and a mounting base 16 is installed at the bottom of the first pushing mechanism 15. A scanner 17 is installed on the bottom of the mounting base 16 to scan the label and thus identify the goods.

[0031] The discharge mechanism includes multiple parallel and inclined discharge troughs 21. The discharge troughs 21 are fixed on one of the crossbeams 1, and the top of the discharge troughs 21 corresponds to the side of the conveyor belt 4. A push plate 18 is provided on the side of the discharge troughs 21 near the conveyor belt 4. A second pushing mechanism 19 is installed on the push plate 18. The second pushing mechanism 19 is installed on a fixed frame 20, and the fixed frame 20 is fixed on another crossbeam 1. After the goods continue to move to the corresponding discharge trough 21, the corresponding second pushing mechanism 19 will push the push plate 18 to act on the goods and push the goods into the discharge trough 21 to complete the sorting and discharge.

[0032] Among them, the first pushing mechanism 15 and the second pushing mechanism 19 are both one of electric push rods, cylinders, and hydraulic cylinders.

[0033] It should be noted that a control cabinet is installed on one of the crossbeams 1, and a controller is installed inside the control cabinet. The controller is connected to the camera 8, the first drive motor 3, the second drive motor 10, the first linear motor 9, the bidirectional cylinder 11, the scanner 17, the second linear motor 14, the first push mechanism 15, and the second push mechanism 19 via wires. In actual use, the controller is one of the following: a PLC logic controller, a control motherboard, or a control host.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
