Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting device technology, and in particular to a warehouse logistics sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Warehouse logistics sorting refers to the operation of sorting and stacking goods according to their type and the order of entry and exit from the warehouse. Sorting is a preparatory work to improve and support delivery. Based on customer order requirements or delivery plans, it is a process of quickly and accurately picking goods from their storage locations or other areas and classifying and concentrating them in a certain way.

[0003] In the logistics sorting process, belt conveyors need to transport logistics cartons at specific intervals and use vision inspection devices to achieve automated sorting. Currently, the placement of logistics cartons on the conveyor relies heavily on manual operation. During peak periods of material flow, long hours of high-intensity work can easily lead to worker fatigue. Worker errors may cause adjacent cartons to be too close together. This situation not only interferes with the vision inspection device's accurate identification and positioning of cartons, but may also cause misjudgments during the sorting process, resulting in adjacent cartons being incorrectly classified into other sorting areas, increasing the cost of manual verification and the risk of misdelivery. Therefore, a warehouse logistics sorting device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Reference Figures 1-3 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a warehouse logistics sorting device that can move material cartons at intervals onto a belt conveyor to ensure that there is a suitable spacing between multiple logistics cartons. It includes: a belt conveyor 100, an interval feeding unit 200, and a sorting unit 300.

[0036] Among them, the belt conveyor 100 has a built-in motor to drive the conveyor belt;

[0037] The interval feeding unit 200 is installed on the belt conveyor 100. The interval feeding unit 200 includes a support plate 201 fixedly connected to the belt conveyor 100. The support plate 201 is provided with a rotating part 202 for moving the logistics cartons to the belt conveyor 100 at intervals. The interval feeding unit 200 also includes a limiting part 203 for preventing the logistics cartons from falling off the rotating part 202.

[0038] The sorting unit 300 is installed on the belt conveyor 100. The sorting unit 300 includes a vision inspection unit 301 and a pusher unit 302. The vision inspection unit 301 is used to cooperate with the pusher unit 302 to sort logistics.

[0039] The conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 100 is driven by its own built-in motor, which enables the logistics cartons to be transported on the conveyor belt. Before sorting, the logistics cartons are manually put into the rotating part 202 above the support plate 201 in sequence. The rotating part 202 can drive multiple logistics cartons to rotate at a certain interval. The limiting part 203 can prevent the logistics cartons from leaving the rotating part 202 under the action of centrifugal force. The rotating part 202 can move the logistics cartons onto the belt conveyor 100 in sequence, and make multiple logistics cartons move on the belt conveyor 100 at a certain interval. Therefore, there is no need for workers to manually place the logistics cartons, which reduces the workload of workers and avoids the distance between adjacent cartons being too close.

[0040] When the logistics carton moves to the underside of the vision inspection unit 301, the vision inspection unit 301 automatically performs visual inspection on the carton to classify it according to the size of the carton or other logistics standards. When it is detected that the logistics carton does not belong to the classification standard for transportation on the belt conveyor 100, the carton that does not meet the classification standard is pushed out of the belt conveyor 100 by the pusher unit 302 so that it can be automatically sorted by the sorting unit 300.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the rotating part 202 includes a servo motor 202a fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 201. The output end of the servo motor 202a rotates through the top of the support plate 201 and is fixedly connected to a turntable 202b. The top of the turntable 202b is provided with multiple placement openings 202c for placing logistics cartons. The top of the support plate 201 is also provided with placement openings 202c.

[0043] Servo motor 202a drives turntable 202b to rotate clockwise at intervals. After each 90-degree rotation, turntable 202b pauses for a period of time. During this time, workers place cartons into the placement slots 202c of turntable 202b. Then, servo motor 202a drives turntable 202b to rotate 90 degrees again and pauses for a period of time to place cartons into the next placement slot 202c of turntable 202b. Through this periodic rotation, multiple cartons can be placed into the placement slots 202c of turntable 202b at fixed intervals. During the rotation of turntable 202b, the cartons in its placement slots 202c also rotate and move accordingly.

[0044] The placement opening 202c on the support plate 201 has the same specifications as the placement opening 202c on the turntable 202b, and the placement opening 202c on the support plate 201 is located above the conveyor belt. When the placement opening 202c on the turntable 202b rotates and moves to align with the placement opening 202c on the support plate 201, the two placement openings 202c form a vertical connecting channel, allowing the carton to pass smoothly through the placement opening 202c on the turntable 202b and the support plate 201 and fall steadily onto the conveyor belt. At this time, the turntable 202b remains in a paused state to ensure that the conveyor belt can smoothly transport the carton in the placement opening 202c. Thus, the turntable 202b accurately transports the carton to the belt conveyor 100 at preset intervals, effectively ensuring that a suitable distance is maintained between adjacent cartons.

[0045] The limiting part 203 includes a C-shaped cover 203a fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 201, a C-shaped ring 203b fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the C-shaped cover 203a, and a plurality of limiting rollers 203c rotatably connected to the bottom of the C-shaped ring 203b.

[0046] The C-shaped cover 203a has a notch of no less than 90 degrees to allow workers to pass through the notch and place the cartons into the placement opening 202c of the turntable 202bd. The angle of the C-shaped ring 203b is consistent with that of the C-shaped cover 203a. Multiple limiting rollers 203c are distributed equidistantly in a C-shape along the C-shaped ring 203b. The limiting rollers 203c are close to the edge of the turntable 202b but do not contact the turntable 202b. When the turntable 202b rotates, the limiting rollers 203c will block the cartons on the turntable 202b to prevent the cartons from being thrown out of the placement opening 202c of the turntable 202b under the action of centrifugal force. During the process of the cartons rotating and moving with the turntable 202b, the friction between the cartons and the limiting rollers 203c will drive the limiting rollers 203c to rotate synchronously, avoiding wear on the surface of the cartons due to hard friction.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the bottom of the support plate 201 is fixedly connected to two inclined reinforcing plates 204, and the bottoms of the two reinforcing plates 204 are fixed to the same side of the belt conveyor 100.

[0049] The reinforcing plate 204, the support plate 201, and the belt conveyor 100 are arranged in a triangular pattern. The support plate 201 can be processed by the reinforcing plate 204 to improve the load-bearing capacity of the support plate 201.

[0050] Among them, the top of the support plate 201 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped protective cover 205, and the top of the support plate 201 is fixedly connected to a pair of guide plates 206 located between the C-shaped cover 203a and the arc-shaped protective cover 205. The ends of the two guide plates 206 are symmetrically curved.

[0051] The arc-shaped protective cover 205 is located at the center of the notch in the C-shaped cover 203a. Two guide plates 206 are symmetrically positioned on one side of the arc-shaped protective cover 205, and a gap is left between the two guide plates 206 that is aligned with the placement opening 202c. The arc-shaped protective cover 205 and the guide plates 206 are used to protect workers from being scratched by the placement opening 202c of the turntable 202b during rotation. When the turntable 202b stops rotating, the placement opening 202c of the turntable 202b is located between the two guide plates 206, so that workers can pass the carton through the two guide plates 206 and place it in the placement opening 202c of the turntable 202b.

[0052] In addition, a C-shaped groove 207 is provided on the top of the support plate 201, and a plurality of rollers 208 protruding to the upper surface of the support plate 201 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the C-shaped groove 207.

[0053] The gap between the turntable 202b and the top of the support plate 201 and the rotating roller 208 is matched. When the carton is placed in the placement opening 202c of the turntable 202b, the bottom of the carton is supported by multiple rotating rollers 208. When the turntable 202b drives the carton to rotate, the carton is rolled and conveyed on multiple rotating rollers 208, thereby avoiding wear caused by direct friction between the carton and the support plate 201. The rotating rollers 208 can also improve the smoothness of the carton movement.

[0054] Example 4

[0055] Reference Figure 1 This is the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the visual inspection unit 301 includes a support frame 301a fixedly connected to the conveyor, and a visual inspection instrument 301b is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 301a.

[0056] The support frame 301a is used to support the vision inspection instrument 301b. A camera for vision inspection is located below the vision inspection instrument 301b. The vision inspection instrument 301b is used to inspect the cardboard boxes that move below it. The vision inspection instrument 301b converts the target to be inspected into an image signal through an image acquisition device. Then, the dedicated image processing system analyzes and processes these signals to ultimately achieve feature recognition of the target. The vision inspection instrument 301b is used to judge cardboard boxes of different specifications according to classification standards.

[0057] The material pushing unit 302 includes a support base 302a fixedly connected to one side of the belt conveyor 100, an electric telescopic rod 302b fixedly installed on the top of the support base 302a, a push plate 302c fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 302b, and an inclined discharge cover 302d fixedly connected to one side of the belt conveyor 100.

[0058] A notch is provided on one side of the belt conveyor 100 for moving cartons to the discharge hood 302d. When the vision inspection instrument 301b detects that a certain logistics carton does not belong to the classification standard for transportation on the belt conveyor 100, the electric telescopic rod 302b pushes the push plate 302c to push the carton through the notch of the belt conveyor 100 and into the discharge hood 302d. The carton then automatically slides out of the discharge hood 302d. Subsequently, the electric telescopic rod 302b pulls the push plate 302c for rapid retraction. The distance between the cartons must meet the time required for the electric telescopic rod 302b to push and pull the push plate 302c. In this way, cartons that do not meet the classification standard can be discharged through the discharge hood 302d to cooperate with the vision inspection instrument 301b for automatic sorting operation.

[0059] During use, the servo motor 202a drives the turntable 202b to rotate at 90-degree intervals. After rotating, the turntable 202b pauses for a period of time. During this time, the worker passes the carton through the two guide plates 206 and places it in the placement port 202c of the turntable 202b. At this time, the carton is supported by the rotating roller 208. Then, the servo motor 202a drives the turntable 202b to rotate 90 degrees again and pauses for a period of time after rotating. Then the worker repeats the above operation to place multiple cartons in each placement port 202c of the turntable 202b in sequence. When the turntable 202b rotates, the limiting roller 203c can prevent the carton from being thrown out of the placement port 202c of the turntable 202b under the action of centrifugal force. The rotating roller 208 can not only avoid wear between the carton and the support plate 201, but also improve the smoothness of the carton movement.

[0060] When the placement port 202c of the turntable 202b rotates and moves to align with the placement port 202c of the support plate 201, the carton passes through both placement ports 202c and falls smoothly onto the conveyor belt. When the carton is conveyed by the belt conveyor 100 to the area below the vision inspection instrument 301b, the vision inspection instrument 301b performs visual inspection on the carton. When the vision inspection instrument 301b detects that a certain logistics carton does not belong to the classification standard for transportation on the belt conveyor 100, the electric telescopic rod 302b pushes the carton into the discharge hood 302d through the push plate 302c. The carton then automatically slides out of the discharge hood 302d. Subsequently, the electric telescopic rod 302b pulls the push plate 302c to quickly retract, thereby enabling automatic sorting operations.

[0061] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
