[0034] With the development of technology, high-speed automated sorting equipment is being applied to industrial equipment. This equipment is used to sort goods and distribute them into various cargo-carrying spaces. However, in related technologies, the transportation efficiency of sorting equipment is relatively low due to the path constraints of the pallets during movement.
[0035] Therefore, this embodiment provides a sorting device. The sorting device can improve the transportation efficiency of sorting equipment.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 A sorting device 100 includes: a frame 10, a guiding assembly 20, a moving mechanism 30, and a conveying assembly 40;
[0037] The guide component 20 is disposed on the frame 10 and is arranged around the outer periphery of the frame 10; the material conveying component 40 is disposed on the moving mechanism 30, the moving mechanism 30 is connected to the guide component 20, and the moving mechanism is used to drive the material conveying component 40 to move along the outer periphery of the guide component 20.
[0038] The sorting equipment 100 includes a frame 41 and a guide component 20 mounted on the frame 41. The guide component 20 is arranged around the outer periphery of the frame 10 and provides guidance for the connecting components when they move. A conveying component 40 is mounted on a moving mechanism 30, and the moving mechanism 30 is slidably connected to the guide component 20. This allows the conveying component 40 to move along the outer periphery of the guide component 20 through the cooperation of the moving mechanism 30 and the guide component 20. To enable closed-loop operation of the conveying component, the guide component 20 is configured as a closed-loop guide rail along the outer periphery of the frame 10. After the conveying component 40 moves to a preset position on the frame 10, it can transport materials. Then, it returns to the starting position along the initial direction of movement to continue loading and transporting materials. Multiple conveying devices can operate at intervals in this manner to achieve material conveying. This improves the transportation efficiency of the sorting equipment 100.
[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the guide assembly 20 includes: a first guide member 21 and a second guide member 22;
[0040] The first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 are spaced apart on the frame 10. The first guide member 21 has a first toothed surface 211, and the second guide member 22 has a second toothed surface 221 and a guide portion 222.
[0041] Understandably, the guiding assembly 20 includes a first guide 21 and a second guide 22, both of which are circular. This allows the sorting assembly to return to the loading point along the same direction after reaching the unloading point, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the sorting equipment 100. The first guide 21 and the second guide 22 are spaced apart around the outer periphery of the frame 10; the first guide 21 is positioned above the frame 10, and the second guide 22 is positioned below the first guide 21. Having two guides, the first guide 21 and the second guide 22, improves the stability of the sorting assembly during movement.
[0042] Understandably, the first guide member 21 has a first toothed surface 211, and the second guide member 22 has a second toothed surface 221 and a guide portion 222. The first toothed surface 211 and the second toothed surface 221 are used to cooperate with the drive mechanism. In this way, the drive mechanism can cooperate with the first toothed surface 211 of the first guide member 21 and the second toothed surface 221 of the second guide member 22, and drive the sorting assembly to move along the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22, thus realizing the movement of the material conveying device.
[0043] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the moving mechanism 30 includes: a driving member 31, a transmission member 32, a first gear 33, and a second gear 34;
[0044] The material conveying assembly 40 has a frame 41, the drive member 31 is disposed on the frame 41, the drive member 31 is connected to the transmission member 32, the first gear 33 and the second gear 34 are spaced apart on the transmission member 32, wherein the first gear 33 is used to mesh with the first tooth surface 211, and the second gear 34 meshes with the second tooth surface 221.
[0045] Understandably, the material conveying assembly 40 has a frame 41, and the moving mechanism 30 includes: a driving member 31, a transmission member 32, a second gear 34, and a third gear; wherein, the driving member 31 is mounted on the frame 41, and the driving member 31 is connected to the transmission member 32, which extends away from the driving member 31; the first gear 33 and the second gear 34 are spaced apart on the transmission member 32; wherein, the first gear 33 is used to mesh with the first tooth surface 211, and the second gear 34 is used to mesh with the second tooth surface 221; when the driving member 31 rotates, it can drive the first gear 33 and the second gear 34 to rotate, thereby enabling the first gear 33 to move on the first tooth surface 211 and the second gear 34 to move on the second tooth surface 221. When the first gear 33 moves on the first tooth surface 211 and the second gear 34 moves on the second tooth surface 221, it can drive the sorting assembly to move along the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22.
[0046] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the moving mechanism 30 further includes: an extension 35 and a pulley 36;
[0047] The extension 35 is disposed on the frame 41 and extends away from the frame 41. The pulley 36 is disposed on the extension 35 and is used to slide in contact with the guide portion 222.
[0048] Understandably, the extension 35 is mounted on the frame 41 and extends away from the frame 41. A pulley 36 is provided at the end of the extension 35 away from the frame 41. The pulley 36 is spaced apart from the second gear 34 and slides in contact with the guide part 222. This reduces the frictional resistance between the pulley 36 and the guide part 222 when the drive member 31 drives the second gear 34 to rotate. The second guide part 22 is sandwiched between the second gear 34 and the pulley 36, so the extension 35 and the pulley 36 can also play a guiding and limiting role to improve the stability of the sorting assembly during movement.
[0049] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the extension 35 includes: a first extension 351 and a second extension 352, wherein the first extension 351 is disposed perpendicular to the second extension 352.
[0050] The first extension 351 is connected to the frame 41, and the second extension 352 is connected to the pulley 36.
[0051] Understandably, the aforementioned extension 35 includes a first extension 351 and a second extension 352, which are connected in one step, and the first extension 351 is arranged perpendicular to the second extension 352. The first extension 351 is connected to the frame 41, and the second extension 352 is connected to the pulley 36. This allows the pulley 36 to be moved away from the frame 41, so that the pulley 36 can be sandwiched between the second gear 34 and the second guide member 22 to provide guidance for the moving mechanism 30.
[0052] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first extension 351 is further provided with a through hole 355 penetrating the first extension 351, and the transmission member passes through the through hole 355.
[0053] Understandably, the first extension 351 is also provided with a through hole 355 that penetrates the first extension 351. A bearing can be installed in the through hole 355 and connected to the transmission member 32 through the bearing so that the transmission member 32 can rotate in the through hole 355. The through hole 355 provided in the first extension 351 can also provide a fixing function for the transmission member 32 so that the transmission member 32 can rotate more stably.
[0054] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, it also includes: a support plate 50 and rollers 51;
[0055] The support plate 50 is mounted on the frame 41, and the roller 51 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 50. When the moving mechanism 30 drives the material conveying assembly 40 to move, it drives the roller 51 to rotate.
[0056] Understandably, this also includes: a support plate 50 and rollers 51; the support plate 50 has a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other, the frame 41 is connected to the first surface, and the rollers 51 are arranged on the second surface, and the rollers 51 can rotate on the second surface; the support plate 50 and rollers 51 are used to provide support for the frame 41 and guide it during movement. Specifically, due to the weight of the frame 41, if it is not supported, the guide parts will deform after long-term use, which will cause the moving mechanism 30 to malfunction during movement; therefore, the support plate 50 and rollers 51 are set at its bottom to provide support, reduce the frictional resistance of the sorting component during movement, and improve the stability of the sorting component during operation.
[0057] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes a plurality of frames 11 connected in sequence, and a base plate 12 is provided at the bottom of the frame 11.
[0058] Understandably, the frame 10 includes multiple rectangular frames 11 connected in sequence. The number of rectangular frames 11 determines the length of the frame 10. Therefore, the number of rectangular frames 11 can be set according to the required length to accommodate the length required by the frame 10. A base plate 12 is provided at the bottom of the frame 11. The base plate 12 can better distribute the pressure from the frame 11 and the material conveying assembly 40, which can improve the overall stability of the equipment.
[0059] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the base plate 12 is provided with an annular track 13, and the roller 51 moves along the annular track 13.
[0060] Understandably, the circular track 13 on the base plate 12, along which the roller 51 moves, ensures that the roller 51 runs smoothly along a predetermined path, preventing deviation or instability during movement and improving the working accuracy of the sorting equipment 100. By setting the circular track 13 on the base plate 12, the contact between the roller 51 and the track is reduced, minimizing direct contact with other components and lowering friction. Reduced friction not only reduces energy loss but also extends the equipment's lifespan, reducing maintenance frequency and costs.
[0061] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the bottom of the frame 10 is provided with a plurality of casters 14 and support members 15 at intervals.
[0062] Understandably, the casters 14 are rotatably located at the bottom of the frame 10, which facilitates the adjustment of the equipment position and enables the equipment to move quickly. The support 15 located at the bottom of the frame 10 can provide support for the frame 10 after the casters 14 move to the preset position, making the equipment run more smoothly and thus improving the stability of the frame 10.
