Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roller conveyor technology, and in particular to a roller conveyor sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Roller conveyor sorting systems can efficiently handle the transportation and sorting of goods of various sizes, from parcels to pallets. Their core value lies in significantly improving operational efficiency, reducing labor costs and error rates. Their modular design allows for flexible adaptation to complex sorting needs, while multi-layered layout optimizes space utilization. This equipment is widely used in express delivery and order processing in logistics and warehousing centers, parts supply in manufacturing, airport baggage sorting, port container transshipment, and temperature-controlled product sorting in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals. It is particularly crucial for improving logistics response speed and accuracy in scenarios such as e-commerce promotions and multi-batch supply chain management.

[0003] Existing roller conveyor sorting devices use drive rollers as the basic transport unit, driving the continuous flow of goods via motors or chain drives. Sensors collect real-time information on the size, weight, and destination of the goods. Subsequently, sorting actuators, such as pneumatic push rods, precisely change the direction of the goods' movement according to instructions, guiding them to a preset exit or diversion channel. Existing roller conveyor sorting devices have significant compatibility drawbacks. The fixed push rods of their sorting mechanisms, due to their rigid structure and limited adjustment range, are difficult to adapt to oversized or irregularly shaped goods, causing large goods to easily get stuck or deviate from the path. Furthermore, they struggle to stably push heavy goods around, easily leading to sorting failures or equipment wear. In addition, the lack of dedicated support structures for large goods makes them prone to tipping over during sorting due to a shift in the center of gravity, limiting the overall applicability of the system. Therefore, a new type of roller conveyor sorting device is needed to improve upon these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a roller conveyor sorting device, which aims to improve the compatibility of existing devices.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a roller conveyor sorting device, comprising a roller conveyor belt, wherein a flip plate assembly is provided at one end of the roller conveyor belt and a swing wheel assembly is provided at the other end of the roller conveyor belt;

[0006] The flip-plate assembly includes a housing, which is disposed at one end of the roller conveyor belt. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected inside the housing. A moving block is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod. A flipping table is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the moving block. A roller is rotatably connected inside the flipping table. A groove is formed through the inside of the housing, and the flipping table is disposed inside the groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the balance wheel assembly includes a second housing, which is disposed at the other end of the roller conveyor belt. An outer shell is rotatably connected inside the second housing, and a third roller is rotatably connected inside the outer shell.

[0008] Furthermore, a second motor is installed inside the outer casing, and a first roller is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. One end of the first roller is rotatably connected inside the outer casing.

[0009] Furthermore, two rollers are rotatably connected inside the outer casing, and the two rollers are slidably connected to rollers one and three.

[0010] Furthermore, a motor is installed inside the housing 2, and a rotating block is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 1.

[0011] Furthermore, a movable plate is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating block, and a connecting column is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer casing has a slot inside, and the connecting post is disposed inside the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the roller conveyor belt, and multiple sliding tables are provided on the outside of the roller conveyor belt.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the roller conveyor sorting device drives the moving block and the tilting table to move within the groove of the housing by an electric telescopic rod, dynamically adjusting the width of the conveying channel to adapt to oversized or irregularly shaped goods. At the same time, the tilting table integrates independently rotatable rollers, which can tilt at a certain angle under the action of the electric telescopic rod. The rolling friction of the rollers smoothly changes the direction of the goods' movement, avoiding the goods' deviation or damage caused by the impact of traditional push rods. The sliding fit design between the groove and the tilting table, combined with the trajectory constraint of the slide, significantly reduces the risk of goods tipping over, achieving efficient and stable sorting of heavy and large goods.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the swing wheel assembly of the roller conveyor sorting device drives the rotating block of the motor in the housing to drive the moving plate and the connecting column, so that the connecting column drives the outer shell to rotate, quickly adjusting the arrangement angle of the rollers to adapt to multi-directional sorting needs. The modular design of the outer shell and the housing, as well as the sliding connection between the rollers and the independent drive of the motor, make it possible to disassemble, maintain or replace the outer shell and the internal roller assembly without complicated tools, greatly reducing downtime and thus meeting the needs of high-frequency, multi-batch sorting scenarios.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a roller conveyor sorting device, including a roller conveyor belt 1. A flip-plate assembly is provided at one end of the roller conveyor belt 1. Through dynamic adjustment of the flip-plate assembly, it can adapt to the sorting needs of goods of different sizes or irregular shapes, avoiding the limitations of traditional fixed push rods. A swing wheel assembly is provided at the other end of the roller conveyor belt 1. The flip-plate assembly includes a housing 3, which is located at one end of the roller conveyor belt 1. An electric telescopic rod 6 is fixedly connected inside the housing 3. A moving block 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 6. A tilting table 4 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the moving block 7. The turntable 4 is internally connected to a roller 5. A groove 8 is formed through the interior of the housing 3. The turntable 4 is set inside the groove 8. When the goods need to be turned, the electric telescopic rod 6 extends and retracts, pushing the moving block 7 to move horizontally, causing the turntable 4 to slide along the groove 8. The internal roller 5 rolls with the weight of the goods, smoothly guiding the goods into the diversion channel. The rolling friction of the roller 5 prevents the goods from being deviated or damaged by the impact of the rigid push rod. A baffle 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the roller conveyor belt 1. The baffle 2 is fixed along the edge of the conveyor belt. Multiple slides 9 are set on the outside of the roller conveyor belt 1, and the slides 9 provide auxiliary guidance.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 The swing wheel assembly includes a housing 20, which is located at the other end of the roller conveyor belt 1. A housing 14 is rotatably connected inside the housing 20, and a roller 19 is rotatably connected inside the housing 14. The rotatable connection between the housing 14 and the housing 20 allows for overall rotation, adjusting the arrangement of the rollers 19 to suit different sorting needs. A motor 16 is installed inside the housing 14, and a roller 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 16. One end of the roller 17 is rotatably connected inside the housing 14. Two rollers 18 are rotatably connected inside the housing 14, and these two rollers 18 are slidably connected to the rollers 17 and 19. When the motor 16 starts, it drives the roller 17 to rotate, and the rollers 18... As an intermediate transmission component, power is evenly transmitted to roller 19 to ensure smooth sorting and to push the goods to turn. Inside the housing 20, motor 10 is installed. The output end of motor 10 is fixedly connected to a rotating block 11. One end of the rotating block 11 is rotatably connected to a moving plate 12. A connecting post 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving plate 12. The housing 14 has a slot 15 inside. The connecting post 13 is set inside the slot 15. After the connecting post 13 is inserted into the slot 15, when the rotating block 11 rotates, the moving plate 12 drives the connecting post 13 to move along a specific trajectory, driving the housing 14 to rotate to the target angle. The insertion design of the slot 15 and the connecting post 13 enables quick disassembly and assembly, which is convenient for maintenance or replacement of housing components.

[0027] Working principle: When this roller conveyor sorting device is used, the goods are carried and transported forward by the roller conveyor belt 1. The baffle 2 and the slide table 9 constrain the trajectory of the goods and prevent deviation. When goods arrive at the sorting area, sensors such as photoelectric sensors or barcode scanners identify their size, weight, and destination information, and transmit the data to the control system. If the goods are oversized or heavy items such as pallets, the control system activates the electric telescopic rod 6 of the flip plate assembly, driving the moving block 7 to move the flipping table 4 along the groove 8 of the housing 3. The rollers 5 inside the flipping table 4 roll with the weight of the goods, using friction to smoothly guide the goods into the designated diversion channel, avoiding damage or displacement of the goods caused by the impact of rigid push rods. For small and medium-sized goods, the motor 10 of the swing wheel assembly drives the rotating block 11 to rotate, driving the moving plate 12 and the connecting column 13 to rotate the housing 14, thereby adjusting the arrangement angle of the rollers 19. The motor 16 independently drives the roller 17 to rotate, and the roller 18 drives the roller 19 to rotate through friction. When maintenance or replacement is required, the housing 14 and internal parts can be removed separately. After maintenance, the slots 18 inside the housing 14 can be aligned with the connecting column 13 and inserted for use.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
