Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting equipment technology, and in particular to a top-sweeping sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern logistics and warehousing industries, efficient and accurate sorting of goods is a crucial step. With the rapid development of these industries, the types and specifications of goods are becoming increasingly diverse, placing higher demands on the adaptability and automation level of sorting equipment.

[0003] Existing sorting devices have several shortcomings in practical applications. Firstly, the scanning devices in traditional sorting devices are typically fixed, making it difficult to adjust them flexibly according to the height of different objects. This can lead to unclear scanning and inaccurate information recognition when scanning objects of varying heights, affecting sorting efficiency and accuracy. Secondly, conveyor belts are prone to slack during long-term operation, and some existing sorting devices lack effective tensioning mechanisms or have inconvenient tensioning adjustments, making it difficult to maintain optimal tension on the conveyor belt, thus affecting its operational stability and lifespan. Furthermore, many sorting devices rely heavily on manual operation in the sorting process, resulting in low automation. This not only increases labor costs but also makes the speed and accuracy of manual sorting susceptible to human factors, failing to meet the demands of large-scale, high-efficiency sorting.

[0004] The aforementioned existing technical solutions have the following drawbacks: the height of the scanning device cannot be adjusted, the tensioning device is absent or inconvenient to adjust, and manual sorting is required. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a top-sweeping sorting device to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A top-sweeping sorting device includes:

[0008] A support frame, wherein a first conveyor belt is provided at the top of the support frame;

[0009] A scanning device, which is fixedly connected to the top of a support, is used to scan information about an object;
