Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated sorting device technology, and more specifically, to an automated logistics parcel sorting robot. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic sorting machines are machines that sort items according to pre-set computer instructions and deliver the sorted items to designated locations. With the development of laser scanning, barcode and computer control technologies, existing devices still have certain problems in use and need to be continuously improved.

[0003] The existing publication number CN220258775U discloses an automated sorting device for logistics parcels, including a support plate, two first push rods, each with a third motor fixedly connected to its other end, two rotating shafts, each with a clamping plate fixedly connected to its other end, and two second motors fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the top of a fixed frame. Each of the output ends of the two second motors is fixedly connected to a lead screw, and each lead screw has a nut assembly fixedly connected to its bottom outer diameter. A first cylinder drives the first push rods and clamping plates to move relative to each other, clamping the parcel. The third motor drives the parcel to rotate, thereby aligning the barcode with a first scanning device. When the barcode is at the front and rear ends, the second motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the nut assembly and the second scanning device to move up and down. The second scanning device scans the barcodes at different heights at the front and rear ends of the parcel. The inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology during the development of this utility model:

[0004] When the device clamps the package by driving the first push rod and clamping plate with the first cylinder and drives the package to rotate with the third motor, some packages are inevitably too large, which causes them to collide with the conveyor belt during rotation, thus affecting the rotation of the packages.

[0005] Therefore, an automated logistics parcel sorting robot is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automated logistics parcel sorting robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated logistics parcel sorting robot, comprising a support plate, a support frame fixedly mounted on the top of the support plate, a first mounting frame on each side of the support frame, a first electric push rod mounted in each of the two first mounting frames, a flipping component fixedly connected to the output end of each of the two first electric push rods, a signal controller mounted on the top of the support frame, and a mounting bracket mounted on the top of the support plate and on one side of the support frame, wherein a distance sensor connected to the signal controller by wires is mounted on the mounting bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the flipping assembly includes a lifting block, a second electric push rod, a mounting plate, a flipping motor, and a flipping plate. Each of the output ends of the two first electric push rods is connected to a lifting block. A second electric push rod is mounted on the lifting block. Each of the output ends of the two second electric push rods is connected to a mounting plate. A flipping motor is bolted to the mounting plate. The output end of the flipping motor is connected to the flipping plate.

[0009] Preferably, a conveyor belt is provided on the support plate, and a support leg is fixedly provided at each of the four corners of the bottom wall of the support plate.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly installed at the top of the support plate and on one side of the support frame. A second mounting frame is symmetrically opened on both sides of the fixing frame. A third electric push rod is installed in the second mounting frame, and a slider is connected to the output end of each of the two third electric push rods.

[0011] Preferably, the slider is slidably connected within the second mounting frame, a second barcode scanner is mounted on the slider, and a first barcode scanner is mounted on the top of the support frame.

[0012] Preferably, a fourth electric push rod is installed on one side of the top of the support plate, and a fifth electric push rod is installed on the other side of the top of the support plate. The output ends of the fourth and fifth electric push rods are each connected to a push plate.

[0013] Preferably, a sliding plate is fixedly installed at the top of the support plate and at symmetrical positions to the fourth and fifth electric push rods respectively.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this automated logistics parcel sorting robot uses a distance sensor to detect the height of the parcels. Then, the signal controller receives and processes the information detected by the distance sensor, and controls the first electric push rod to adjust the parcels held on the flipping component to a suitable position, so as to avoid collisions with the conveyor belt when the parcels are flipped later. This structure improves the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] As attached Figures 1 to 4 An automated logistics parcel sorting robot is shown, including a support plate 1, a conveyor belt 2 on the support plate 1, a support leg fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the bottom wall of the support plate 1, a support frame 3 fixedly installed at the top of the support plate 1, a first mounting frame 7 on each side of the support frame 3, a first electric push rod 8 installed in each of the two first mounting frames 7, a flipping component fixedly connected to the output end of each of the two first electric push rods 8, a signal controller 9 installed at the top of the support frame 3, and a mounting frame 5 installed at the top of the support plate 1 and on one side of the support frame 3, with a distance sensor 6 connected to the signal controller 9 by wires installed on the mounting frame 5.

[0024] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the express package clamped and fixed on the flipping component to avoid collision with the conveyor belt 2 during flipping, the express package can be transported by the conveyor belt 2. Then, the height of the transported express package is detected by the distance sensor 6. After receiving and processing the information detected by the distance sensor 6, the signal controller 9 controls the first electric push rod 8 to adjust the height of the package clamped on the flipping component to a suitable position to avoid collision with the conveyor belt 2 during subsequent flipping of the express package. This structure improves the practicality of the device.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Based on Example 1, the solution in Example 1 will be further described in detail below with reference to the specific working method, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown below, see details:

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the flipping assembly includes a lifting block 10, a second electric push rod 11, a mounting plate 12, a flipping motor 13, and a flipping plate 14. The output ends of the two first electric push rods 8 are each connected to a lifting block 10. The second electric push rods 11 are mounted on the lifting block 10. The output ends of the two second electric push rods 11 are each connected to a mounting plate 12. The flipping motor 13 is bolted to the mounting plate 12. The output end of the flipping motor 13 is connected to the flipping plate 14. When flipping the express package, the two second electric push rods 11 can first push the mounting plate 12 and the flipping motor 13 and the flipping plate 14 located on the mounting plate 12 toward the sides of the express package, and the flipping plate 14 can clamp the express package. Then, the flipping motor 13 drives the flipping plate 14 and the express package located between the two flipping plates 14 to flip.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a fixing frame 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the support plate 1 and on one side of the support frame 3. A second mounting frame 15 is symmetrically opened on both sides of the fixing frame 4. A third electric push rod 16 is installed in the second mounting frame 15. A slider 17 is connected to the output end of each of the two third electric push rods 16. The slider 17 is slidably connected in the second mounting frame 15. A second barcode scanner 19 is installed on the slider 17. A first barcode scanner 18 is installed at the top of the support frame 3. When it is necessary to scan the QR code on the express package, the conveyor belt 2 can transport the express package. When it is transported to the area directly below the first barcode scanner 18, the first barcode scanner 18 can directly scan the barcode on the express package. When the barcode on the express package is located on both sides of the express package, the two third electric push rods 16 will drive the slider 17 and the second barcode scanner 19 located on the upper end of the slider 17 to move up and down, thereby completing the scanning of the barcode on the express package.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a fourth electric push rod 20 is installed on one side of the top of the support plate 1, and a fifth electric push rod 21 is installed on the other side of the top of the support plate 1. A push plate 22 is connected to the output end of both the fourth electric push rod 20 and the fifth electric push rod 21. Finally, a slide plate 23 is fixedly installed at the top of the support plate 1 at symmetrical positions to the fourth electric push rod 20 and the fifth electric push rod 21. (In actual use, more slide plates 23 and fourth electric push rods 20 and fifth electric push rods 21 can be set according to the specific package information to achieve the classification of express packages with multiple information.) The fourth electric push rod 20 and the fifth electric push rod 21 can be used to push the express packages with scanned information through the push plate 22, and then the two slide plates 23 can be used to discharge the express packages conveyed on the conveyor belt 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first barcode scanner 18, the second barcode scanner 19, and the flip motor 13 are all commercially available devices known to those skilled in the art. They can be customized or selected according to actual needs. Here, we are only using them without making any structural or functional improvements, and we will not go into detail about them here.

[0031] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, the express package is conveyed by the conveyor belt 2. The height of the conveyed express package is detected by the distance sensor 6. Then, the express package is conveyed to the position of the first barcode scanner 18. When the first barcode scanner 18 does not detect barcode information, the flipping component will clamp the express package. At the same time, the signal controller 9 receives and processes the information detected by the distance sensor 6, and controls the first electric push rod 8 to adjust the package clamped on the flipping component to a suitable position to avoid collision with the conveyor belt 2 when the express package is flipped later. Then, the package is scanned by the first barcode scanner 18 or two second barcode scanners. Scanner 19 scans the QR code on the express package and then inputs the scanned information into the control unit. After receiving the scanned information, the control unit identifies and processes the information through its built-in algorithm to determine the destination and sorting path of the express package. Then, it controls the fourth electric push rod 20 and the fifth electric push rod 21 to push the express package and discharge it through the two slides 23. Express packages that are not scanned by the first barcode scanner 18 or the two second barcode scanners 19 are transferred to the next workstation via conveyor belt 2 for relevant personnel to check and sort again. The above is the working principle of this automated logistics package sorting robot.
