Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of logistics conveying equipment, and more specifically, it relates to an automatic adjustment device for the position of logistics packages. Background Technology

[0002] In existing logistics and distribution processes, packages often end up in a chaotic and disorganized state after undergoing multiple stages of loading, unloading, and transportation. This disordered arrangement creates numerous inconveniences for subsequent automated sorting and storage. For example, on automated sorting lines, improperly positioned packages may prevent accurate barcode or label identification, increasing sorting error rates and time. Furthermore, in subsequent warehousing, irregularly positioned packages are difficult to arrange compactly, wasting storage space. Traditional methods of manually adjusting package positions are inefficient and labor-intensive, failing to meet the demands of modern logistics for efficient, large-scale processing. Therefore, developing a device capable of automatically adjusting the position of logistics packages is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes an automatic positioning adjustment device for logistics parcels to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model is an automatic posture adjustment device for logistics packages, including a conveyor frame. A front conveyor belt, a posture adjustment conveyor belt and a rear conveyor belt are sequentially installed on the conveyor frame. A vision detection component capable of detecting the posture of packages conveyed on the front conveyor belt is installed on the conveyor frame. A robotic arm is provided on one side of the posture adjustment conveyor belt, and a gripper is installed at the front end of the robotic arm.

[0006] Furthermore, auxiliary conveying plates are fixedly installed at the joints between the posture adjustment conveyor belt and the front and rear conveyor belts.

[0007] Furthermore, the top surface of the auxiliary conveying plate is rotatably equipped with a plurality of evenly arranged ball bearings.

[0008] Furthermore, the visual inspection component includes an upper bracket, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the conveyor frame and located above the front conveyor belt. Multiple visual inspection cameras facing the front conveyor belt are fixedly installed on the upper bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the visual inspection component also includes a lower support, which is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the conveyor frame and located directly below the joint between the pose adjustment conveyor belt and the front conveyor belt. Multiple upward-facing visual inspection cameras are fixedly installed on the lower support.

[0010] Furthermore, the auxiliary conveyor plate at the joint between the posture adjustment conveyor belt and the front conveyor belt is provided with a plurality of uniformly arranged through holes.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. In this utility model, a vision detection component is provided on the conveyor belt, and a gripper is installed on one side of the conveyor belt via a robotic arm. When the package is conveyed on the conveyor belt, the vision detection component can detect the position and posture of the package. When the package position is detected to be incorrect, the robotic arm can drive the gripper to clamp and adjust the package position, thereby straightening the package. This achieves automatic adjustment of the package position, which facilitates the subsequent identification, sorting, and stacking of the package. Furthermore, through automated adjustment, the efficiency of package position adjustment can be improved, meeting the needs of modern logistics for efficient and large-scale processing.

[0013] 2. In this utility model, the conveyor belt includes a front conveyor belt, a posture adjustment conveyor belt, and a rear conveyor belt arranged in sequence. When the package is conveyed on the front conveyor belt, posture detection is completed. When the package is conveyed to the posture adjustment conveyor belt, the posture adjustment conveyor belt stops conveying, allowing the package to remain stationary. Then, the robotic arm and gripper adjust the posture of the package. After the posture adjustment is completed, the posture adjustment conveyor belt conveys the package to the rear conveyor belt, which continues to convey the package. By keeping the package stationary, it is convenient for the robotic arm and gripper to adjust the posture of the package. During posture adjustment, the front and rear conveyor belts continue to convey other packages, thereby achieving continuous package conveying without stopping and improving package conveying efficiency.

[0014] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

A robotic arm 5 is provided on one side of the posture adjustment conveyor belt 3, and a gripper 6 is installed at the front end of the robotic arm 5.

[0022] In operation, the package is gradually conveyed from front to back on the front conveyor belt 2, the orientation adjustment conveyor belt 3, and the rear conveyor belt 4. While the package is being conveyed on the front conveyor belt 2, the vision detection component monitors the package's orientation. When the package is conveyed onto the orientation adjustment conveyor belt 3, the belt stops, allowing the package to remain stationary. Then, the robotic arm 5 and grippers 6 adjust the package's orientation. After the orientation adjustment is complete, the orientation adjustment conveyor belt 3 restarts, conveying the package onto the rear conveyor belt 4, which continues to convey the package. The cooperation of the vision inspection component, robotic arm 5, and gripper 6 enables automatic adjustment of the package's position, facilitating subsequent identification, sorting, and stacking. Automated adjustment also improves the efficiency of package position adjustment, meeting the demands of modern logistics for efficient and large-scale processing.

[0023] Specifically, auxiliary conveyor plates 9 are fixedly installed at the joints of the position adjustment conveyor belt 3 with the front conveyor belt 2 and the rear conveyor belt 4. Multiple evenly distributed ball bearings 11 are rotatably installed on the top surface of the auxiliary conveyor plate 9. By setting the auxiliary conveyor plate 9, the gap between adjacent conveyor belts caused by the curved edge of the conveyor belt can be assisted to prevent the package from getting stuck in the gap during the transport, and ensure the normal transport of the package. When the package passes through the auxiliary conveyor plate 9, the ball bearings 11 provide rolling support for the package, reducing the resistance during the transport of the package.

[0024] Specifically, the visual inspection component includes an upper bracket 7, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the conveyor frame 1 and located above the front conveyor belt 2. Multiple visual inspection cameras 8 facing the front conveyor belt 2 are fixedly installed on the upper bracket 7. By installing multiple visual inspection cameras 8 on the upper bracket 7, the packages conveyed on the front conveyor belt 2 can be fully inspected, making the position and pose detection of the packages more accurate.

[0025] Specifically, the visual inspection component also includes a lower support 12, which is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the conveyor frame 1 and located directly below the seam between the posture adjustment conveyor belt 3 and the front conveyor belt 2. Multiple upward-facing visual inspection cameras 8 are fixedly installed on the lower support 12. Multiple evenly distributed through holes 10 are provided on the auxiliary conveyor plate 9 at the seam between the posture adjustment conveyor belt 3 and the front conveyor belt 2. When the package is conveyed through the auxiliary conveyor plate 9, the visual inspection cameras 8 on the lower support 12 can perform visual inspection on the bottom of the package through the through holes 10. In conjunction with the visual inspection cameras 8 on the support 7, the package can be fully inspected, further improving the accuracy of package posture detection.
