Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying device technology, and in particular to a supply positioning platform. Background Technology
[0002] After the printing press produces printed products, they are manually packaged into goods. These goods need to be transported to crates by a conveyor system for further processing. Existing conveyor systems, as shown in patent application number CN202223050210.0, include a conveyor belt and baffles on both sides of the conveyor belt. The baffles can be adjusted inwards and outwards to accommodate the width of the goods, ensuring the goods move in a straight line under the action of the conveyor belt and preventing them from deviating from their designated path, thus transporting the goods to the crates. However, existing conveyor systems cannot classify different goods. If multiple different goods are transported together, they will be mixed in one crate, affecting subsequent processing. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing conveying devices that cannot classify different goods, this invention proposes a supply positioning platform that can position different goods so that they can be classified and delivered to different cargo frames.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A supply positioning platform includes a frame, a camera, a main conveyor belt, a telescopic guide mechanism, and multiple cargo frames. The main conveyor belt is mounted on the upper side of the frame in a front-to-back direction. The camera is mounted above the input end of the main conveyor belt for identifying the type of goods. Two telescopic guide mechanisms are provided, located in front of the camera and symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the main conveyor belt. Each telescopic guide mechanism includes a lateral drive mechanism, a base, a secondary conveyor belt, pulleys, and a motor. The lower side of the base is higher than the upper side of the main conveyor belt. The secondary conveyor belt is parallel to the main conveyor belt, and both ends of the secondary conveyor belt are mounted on the upper side of the base via pulleys. The motor drives the pulleys to make the secondary conveyor belt run at the same speed as the main conveyor belt. The lateral drive mechanism is mounted on the frame and connected to the camera. The lateral drive mechanism is used to drive the base to move left and right. The multiple cargo frames are arranged in a left-to-right direction below the output end of the main conveyor belt.
[0006] With the above settings, the camera first identifies the type of goods, and the lateral drive mechanism can automatically push the goods laterally to the corresponding position on the upper side of the main conveyor belt according to the type of goods. After the goods are output from the output end of the main conveyor belt, they automatically fall into the corresponding cargo box, realizing the classification of goods and facilitating subsequent processing. In addition, the lateral drive mechanism also has a conveying function, assisting the main conveyor belt in conveying goods to reduce the forward resistance of the goods.
[0007] Furthermore, the lateral drive mechanism includes a fixed plate, a sleeve, a guide rod, and an electric cylinder. The sleeve extends in the left and right direction and is fixedly connected to the upper side of the frame through the fixed plate. The guide rod coaxially passes through the sleeve and is slidably connected to the sleeve. The end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the base. The electric cylinder is parallel to the guide rod and is fixedly connected to the frame. The output shaft of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the base.
[0008] With the above setup, the electric cylinder extends and retracts to drive the secondary conveyor belt to move left and right.
[0009] Furthermore, in the transverse drive mechanism, two guide rods and two sleeves are provided. The two sleeves are located near the front and rear ends of the secondary conveyor belt, respectively. The two guide rods are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the base through the corresponding sleeves, and the electric cylinder is connected to the middle of the base.
[0010] The above settings further enhance the stability of the base's movement.
[0011] Furthermore, the base includes a back plate and a bottom plate. The bottom plate is located on the underside of the secondary conveyor belt and is used to install pulleys. The back plate is fixedly connected to the side of the bottom plate away from the center line of the main conveyor belt. The guide rod and the electric cylinder are both connected to the back plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the supply positioning platform also includes a gantry frame, with both ends of the gantry frame positioned on opposite sides of the main conveyor belt and fixedly connected to the frame. The camera is installed on the lower side of the middle of the gantry frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the supply positioning platform also includes a guiding mechanism, which includes a connecting plate and a guide plate. The guide plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the main conveyor belt through the connecting plate. The guide plate is located behind the camera. There are two guide plates, which are arranged left and right. The rear ends of the guide plates are far apart from each other and close to the edge of the main conveyor belt. The front ends of the guide plates extend to the lower side of the camera and are close to each other to form an outlet.
[0014] The above settings allow the goods on the upper side of the main conveyor belt to be guided by the guide mechanism and brought to the lower side of the camera, falling into the camera's field of view for easy camera recognition. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 A supply positioning platform includes a frame 3, a camera 4, a main conveyor belt 5, a telescopic guide mechanism, and multiple cargo frames 6. The main conveyor belt 5 is mounted on the upper side of the frame 3 in a front-to-back direction. The camera 4 is mounted above the input end of the main conveyor belt 5 and is used to identify the types of goods 7. Two telescopic guide mechanisms are provided, located in front of the camera 4 and symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the main conveyor belt 5. The telescopic guide mechanism includes a transverse drive mechanism 8, a base 9, a secondary conveyor belt 10, pulleys 11, and a motor (not shown in the figure). The lower side of the base 9 is higher than the upper side of the main conveyor belt 5. The secondary conveyor belt 10 is parallel to the main conveyor belt 5. Both ends of the secondary conveyor belt 10 are mounted on the upper side of the base 9 through pulleys 11. The motor drives the pulleys 11 so that the secondary conveyor belt 10 runs at the same speed as the main conveyor belt 5. The transverse drive mechanism 8 is mounted on the frame 3 and connected to the camera 4. The transverse drive mechanism 8 is used to drive the base 9 to move left and right. The multiple cargo frames 6 are arranged in a left-to-right direction below the output end of the main conveyor belt 5.
[0021] With the above settings, the camera 4 first identifies the type of goods, and the lateral drive mechanism 8 can automatically push the goods laterally to the corresponding position on the upper side of the main conveyor belt 5 according to the type of goods. After the goods are output from the output end of the main conveyor belt 5, they automatically fall into the corresponding cargo frame 6, realizing the classification of goods and facilitating subsequent processing. In addition, the lateral drive mechanism 8 also has a conveying function, assisting the main conveyor belt 5 in conveying goods to reduce the forward resistance of the goods.
[0022] Specifically, Figure 1 The main conveyor belt 5 extends in the front-back and left-right directions of the supply positioning platform to transport goods from back to front. The goods in this application specifically include a box and printed materials placed inside the box. The box is basically a cubic structure with a label or QR code affixed to its upper side. During the forward movement of the goods, it first passes under the camera 4. The camera 4 can be an industrial camera 4 or a 3D camera 4. The type of goods is identified by scanning the label or QR code. Figure 2The main conveyor belt 5 of this application has a first belt zone 51, a second belt zone 52, and a third belt zone 53 arranged sequentially from left to right on its upper side. Each of the first, second, and third belt zones occupies approximately 1 / 3 to 1 / 4 of the main conveyor belt 5's bandwidth. Three cargo frames 6 are provided, located below the ends of the first, second, and third belt zones respectively. The first, second, and third belt zones are used to transport three different types of goods, such as goods A, goods B, and goods C. For example, when camera 4 identifies goods as goods A, the goods are transported along the main conveyor belt... When the conveyor belt 5 moves to the rear end of the secondary conveyor belt 10, it can be triggered by a photoelectric sensor installed at the rear end of the secondary conveyor belt 10. The left lateral drive mechanism 8 drives the left secondary conveyor belt 10 to move to the right, and the right lateral drive mechanism 8 drives the right secondary conveyor belt 10 to move to the left. Since the first belt area is located to the left of the main conveyor belt 5, the left secondary conveyor belt 10 moves less to the right, and the right secondary conveyor belt 10 moves more to the left. Finally, the goods are pushed onto the first belt area of the main conveyor belt 5, and the left and right secondary conveyor belts 10 are in contact with the left and right sides of the goods, respectively. Figure 3 The secondary conveyor belt 10 runs at the same speed as the main conveyor belt 5 under the action of the motor. Finally, under the coordinated action of the main conveyor belt 5 and the secondary conveyor belt 10, the goods are output from the end of the first belt area to the first cargo frame 6. Another photoelectric sensor can be installed at the end of the secondary conveyor belt 10. When it detects that goods are being output from the end of the secondary conveyor belt 10, the secondary conveyor belt 10 automatically separates under the action of the transverse drive mechanism 8 to prepare for the next round of supply. Figure 4 The principle is similar when goods are identified as item B or item C, and will not be elaborated further.
[0023] As one implementation, the transverse drive mechanism 8 includes a fixed plate 81, a sleeve 82, a guide rod 83, and an electric cylinder 84. The sleeve 82 extends in the left and right direction and is fixedly connected to the upper side of the frame 3 through the fixed plate 81. The guide rod 83 coaxially passes through the sleeve 82 and is slidably connected to the sleeve 82. The end of the guide rod 83 is fixedly connected to the base 9. The electric cylinder 84 is parallel to the guide rod 83 and is fixedly connected to the frame 3. The output shaft of the electric cylinder 84 is fixedly connected to the base 9.
[0024] With the above settings, the electric cylinder 84 extends and retracts to drive the secondary conveyor belt 10 to move left and right.
[0025] Specifically, the sleeve 82 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the frame 3 by the fixing plate 81. The sleeve 82 is a cylindrical structure that wraps around the guide rod 83 to improve the stability of the left and right movement of the base 9. The electric cylinder 84 extends and retracts to drive the base 9 to move left and right, thereby driving the secondary conveyor belt 10 on the upper side of the base 9 to move left and right.
[0026] As one implementation method, in the transverse drive mechanism 8, there are two guide rods 83 and two sleeves 82. The two sleeves 82 are respectively close to the front and rear ends of the secondary conveyor belt 10. The two guide rods 83 are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the base 9 through the corresponding sleeves 82. The electric cylinder 84 is connected to the middle of the base 9.
[0027] The above settings further enhance the stability of the base 9's movement.
[0028] As one implementation, the base 9 includes a back plate 91 and a bottom plate 92. The bottom plate 92 is located on the lower side of the secondary conveyor belt 10 and is used to install the pulley 11. The back plate 91 is fixedly connected to the side of the bottom plate 92 away from the center line of the main conveyor belt 5. The guide rod 83 and the electric cylinder 84 are both connected to the back plate 91.
[0029] Specifically, the back plate 91 and the base plate 92 of this application are integrally formed to form an L-shaped cross-section and a base 9 extending in the front-rear direction. The base plate 92 is used to support the pulley 11 and the secondary conveyor belt 10, and the back plate 91 is used to install the guide rod 83 and the electric cylinder 84.
[0030] As one implementation method, the supply positioning platform also includes a gantry frame 12, with both ends of the gantry frame 12 set on opposite sides of the main conveyor belt 5 and fixedly connected to the frame 3, and the camera 4 installed on the lower side of the middle of the gantry frame 12.
[0031] As one implementation method, the supply positioning platform also includes a guiding mechanism 13, which includes a connecting plate 131 and a guiding plate 132. The guiding plate 132 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the main conveyor belt 5 through the connecting plate 131. The guiding plate 132 is located behind the camera 4. There are two guiding plates 132, which are arranged left and right. The rear ends of the guiding plates 132 are far apart from each other and close to the edge of the main conveyor belt 5. The front ends of the guiding plates 132 extend to the lower side of the camera 4 and are close to each other to form an outlet 133.
[0032] With the above settings, the goods on the upper side of the main conveyor belt 5 can be gathered to the lower side of the camera 4 through the outlet of the guide mechanism 13 and fall into the field of view of the camera 4, making it convenient for the camera 4 to identify them.
[0033] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
