Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to sorting equipment in the logistics sorting industry, specifically to a sorting equipment based on linear conveying. Background Technology
[0002] Industry insiders know that conventional sorting equipment occupies a large area, resulting in high equipment costs and high daily energy consumption. Furthermore, many small sites cannot accommodate such equipment. In fact, some small sites can only install small sorting equipment based on linear narrow-strip sorters. The sorting chutes in these machines, due to their simple structure, cannot slow down the downward speed of goods, often leading to a high rate of damage due to the excessive speed of the goods falling. Additionally, when sorting thin mail, the letters may float up, causing mis-sorting, missed sorting, or even loss. In reality, small sites often have limited manpower, making it impossible to constantly inspect every sorting machine. Only after a malfunction alarm is triggered can relevant personnel arrive on-site to inspect each area of the corresponding sorting machine until the cause is identified and addressed. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sorting device based on linear conveying that can inspect its various areas in a timely manner and slow down the downward speed of goods.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a sorting device based on linear conveying, comprising: a frame and a linear conveying sorting machine mounted on the frame. At least three sorting chutes are respectively arranged on both sides of the linear conveying sorting machine on the frame. Each sorting chute is equipped with a deceleration curtain. Several convex wide-angle reflectors are respectively mounted on the frame on both sides of the frame in the conveying direction parallel to the linear conveying sorting machine. The lower edge of the convex wide-angle reflector is higher than the conveying platform of the linear conveying sorting machine. Each convex wide-angle reflector corresponds to M sorting chutes, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. The intersection point of the center line of each convex wide-angle reflector and the far side wall of the farthest sorting chute among the M sorting chutes is close to the conveying platform of the linear conveying sorting machine. The angle between the intersection point and the line connecting the tangent points on both sides of the corresponding convex wide-angle reflector is ≥15°.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment, in the aforementioned sorting equipment based on linear conveying, the linear conveying sorter is a linear narrow-strip sorter.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, in the sorting equipment based on linear conveying, the deceleration curtain is disposed in the upper middle part of the sorting chute.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, in the sorting equipment based on linear conveying, the support includes: a vertical rod and a horizontally arranged lifting rod on the vertical rod, and the convex wide-angle reflector is arranged on the corresponding lifting rod.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, in the sorting equipment based on linear conveying, the frame includes: several columns, all sorting chutes on the same side are integrated structures, that is, adjacent sorting chutes share a side wall and are set on the corresponding columns; the vertical rods are the heightened columns in the frame.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, in the sorting equipment based on linear conveying, a bag support frame is provided below each sorting chute on the frame.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, in the sorting equipment based on linear conveying, each sorting chute is provided with a diffuse reflection photoelectric detection device on its bottom surface, allowing the light beam to pass obliquely downwards through the corresponding bag support frame.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, in the sorting equipment based on linear conveying, a packing table is provided below the bag support frame.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, in the sorting equipment based on linear conveying, a control button and an information display screen are provided at the lower end of the sorting chute.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, in the sorting equipment based on linear conveying, a cable tie tube is provided at the lower end of the sorting chute.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This utility model reduces the speed of goods sliding down by setting a deceleration curtain on each sorting chute, which greatly reduces the damage rate of goods during sorting.
[0016] 2. This utility model provides a more comprehensive and focused field of view by setting an optimally sized convex wide-angle reflector above the conveying platform of the linear conveyor sorting machine. This ensures that the angle between the intersection of the center line of the convex wide-angle reflector and the far side wall of the farthest sorting chute and the line connecting the two tangent points on both sides of the convex wide-angle reflector is ≥15°.
[0017] 3. By setting the deceleration curtain in the upper middle part of the sorting slide, this utility model makes the deceleration effect of the goods during the descent more moderate, and further reduces the damage rate of the goods during sorting.
[0018] 4. This utility model further reduces costs by using a taller column as the vertical support for the convex wide-angle reflector.
[0019] 5. All sorting chutes on the same side of this utility model are integrated structures, that is, adjacent sorting chutes share the same sidewall, which greatly reduces manufacturing costs.
[0020] 6. This utility model provides a bag support frame below each sorting chute, allowing packaging bags to be placed directly on the support frame, thus achieving automatic bagging and greatly reducing labor intensity.
[0021] 7. This utility model uses a diffuse reflection photoelectric detection device on the bottom surface of each sorting chute, through which the light beam passes obliquely downward through the corresponding bag support frame, to automatically remind the operator when the chute is full, which greatly reduces the labor intensity.
[0022] 8. This utility model makes the operation of the sorting equipment more intuitive and convenient by setting control buttons and information display screens on the operator-facing side of the lower end of the sorting chute. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 5 This invention provides a detailed description of the specific implementation scheme of a sorting device based on linear conveying.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention discloses a sorting device based on linear conveying, comprising: a frame 1 and a linear narrow-strip sorting machine 2 mounted on the frame 1. Eight sorting chutes 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the linear narrow-strip sorting machine 2 on the frame 1. Specifically, the frame 1 includes several columns 11. All sorting chutes 3 on the same side are of a continuous structure, i.e., adjacent sorting chutes share a common sidewall 31 and are mounted on corresponding columns 11. Each sorting chute 3 has a deceleration curtain 4 in its upper part (between one-third and two-fifths). On both sides of the frame 1, parallel to the conveying direction F of the linear narrow-strip sorting machine 2, two convex wide-angle reflectors 5 are mounted on supports formed by raised columns 11 as vertical rods and lifting rods 12 mounted on the vertical rods. The lower edge of the convex wide-angle reflector 5 extends above the conveying platform 21 of the linear narrow-strip sorting machine 2. Each convex wide-angle reflector 5 corresponds to four sorting chutes 3. Figure 4 As shown, the intersection point X of the center line L0 of each convex wide-angle reflector 5 and the far sidewall of the fourth sorting chute 3 is close to the conveyor platform 21 of the straight narrow strip sorter 2. The angle between the intersection point X and the lines L1 and L2 connecting the tangent points on both sides of the corresponding convex wide-angle reflector 5 is ≥15°. In this embodiment, each sorting chute 3 is equipped with four control buttons 37, an information display screen 38, and a cable tie tube 39 at its lower end.
[0031] In practical applications, such as Figure 5 As shown, a bag support frame 6 and a packing table 8 are sequentially arranged below each sorting chute 3 on the frame 1. A diffuse reflection photoelectric detection device with a beam passing obliquely downward through the corresponding bag support frame 6 is provided on the bottom surface of each sorting chute 3 (which is a conventional technology in the art and will not be described in detail here).
[0032] In actual use, the packaging bag 7 is placed on the bag support frame 6, and the goods 9 move along the conveying direction F of the conveyor platform 21, and then enter the corresponding sorting chute 3. After being decelerated by the deceleration curtain 4, the goods 9 continue to slide and slide out from the lower end of the sorting chute 3 and into the packaging bag 7. During the entire sorting process of the goods 9, the operator standing at a distance can observe the condition of each sorting chute 3 and the conveyor platform 21 through the convex wide-angle reflector 5. Once a problem is found, the operator can go directly to the corresponding position to deal with it in time.
[0033] In summary, the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent variations and modifications made to the shape, structure, features and spirit described in the claims of the present utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
