Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics automation technology, specifically to an L-shaped narrow-strip sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] In modern logistics warehousing, express delivery transfer centers, and e-commerce distribution scenarios, efficient sorting of goods is a key link in ensuring the smooth operation of the supply chain.
[0003] The L-type narrow belt sorting machine mainly consists of an L-type narrow belt conveyor line, an intelligent sorting control system, photoelectric sensors, a sorting execution mechanism, and a human-machine interface. The L-type narrow belt conveyor line uses a high-strength, low-friction narrow belt that can be closely arranged to save space and achieve stable transport of goods. The photoelectric sensors detect the size, position, and movement of goods in real time. The intelligent sorting control system processes the sensor data based on preset sorting rules and algorithms. The sorting execution mechanism includes pneumatic push rods or steering baffles, which sort goods to the corresponding channels according to system instructions. The human-machine interface allows operators to set sorting parameters and monitor the equipment's operating status.
[0004] However, in actual use, the existing technology of the above-mentioned equipment is a traditional linear narrow strip sorting machine. Due to its linear nature, it is not friendly to some irregularly shaped sites or sites that require high site utilization. It often requires a choice between the number of grids and the space, which is difficult to be compatible. In view of this, we propose an L-shaped narrow strip sorting machine. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an L-shaped narrow strip sorting machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An L-shaped narrow-strip sorting machine includes a first straight rail, one end of which is fixedly mounted with a supporting curved rail, and the other end of which is fixedly mounted with a second straight rail. Mounting frames are fixedly mounted on the other ends of the first and second straight rails respectively. A conveying assembly is provided on the first straight rail, and the conveying assembly includes:
[0008] A reinforcing rod is fixedly installed on the first straight rail, the supporting curved rail and the second straight rail. A support plate is fixedly installed on the reinforcing rod. A single-sided drive motor is fixedly installed on the support plate. A sliding rod is provided on the first straight rail.
[0009] A hinge frame is fixedly installed on the slide rod, and a guide wheel and a traveling wheel are rotatably installed on the hinge frame. A transmission frame is fixedly installed on the slide rod, a support plate is fixedly installed on the transmission frame, and a side plate is fixedly installed on the support plate.
[0010] A rubber roller, with multiple sets of rubber rollers rotatably mounted on the side plate, belts driving the multiple sets of rubber rollers, threaded blocks fixedly mounted on the transmission frame, fisheye bearings threadedly mounted on the threaded blocks, and coupling frames fixedly mounted on the slide rod.
[0011] In a further embodiment, guide rails are fixedly installed on the first straight rail, the supporting curved rail, the second straight rail, and the mounting bracket. The guide rails consist of a guide rail, a traveling rail, and a head curved rail. The guide wheel slides on the guide rail, and the traveling wheel slides on the traveling rail.
[0012] In a further embodiment, multiple sets of the reinforcing rod, support plate, single-sided drive motor, slide bar, articulated frame, guide wheel, traveling wheel, transmission frame, pallet, side plate, rubber roller, belt, threaded block, fisheye bearing and coupling frame are provided to form a conveyor chain.
[0013] In a further embodiment, the fisheye bearing is disposed between the coupling frames and connected to them by anchors, and the output end of the single-sided drive motor is connected to the transmission frame.
[0014] In a further embodiment, the transmission frame is provided with an auxiliary component, which includes a cylinder. One end of a helical spring is fixedly installed inside the cylinder, and one end of an mounting block is fixedly installed at the other end of the helical spring. A rubber block is rotatably installed at the other end of the mounting block, and a guide block is fixedly installed on the cylinder.
[0015] In a further embodiment, multiple sets of the cylinder, helical spring, mounting block, rubber block, and guide block are provided.
[0016] In a further embodiment, the helical spring is disposed inside the cylinder, the mounting block and the rubber block slide inside the cylinder, and the guide block and the threaded block are concentrically arranged.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an L-shaped narrow strip sorting machine, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. This L-shaped narrow-strip sorting machine, in order to meet the high-efficiency operation requirements of logistics warehouses, is equipped with a conveying component. This component, together with a reinforcing rod and a support plate, fixes a single-sided drive motor. The drive plate on the transmission frame moves along the guide rail through a magnetic plate. The traveling wheels bear the weight of the trolley on the traveling rail, and the guide wheels limit lateral deviation on the guide rail, ensuring that the trolley runs accurately along the L-shaped trajectory. The fisheye bearing is hinged to the coupling frame through a threaded block, allowing the front and rear trolleys to have a certain deviation when turning. Combined with the flexible connection of the T-shaped frame, the entire trolley forms a continuous curve at the horizontal curve, smoothly conveying the packages to the sorting slot.
[0019] 2. To ensure stable operation of the L-type narrow-strip sorting machine in irregularly shaped areas, an auxiliary component is installed. This component, in conjunction with a helical spring inside the cylinder, pushes the mounting block to slide along the guide block, allowing the rubber block to fit against the threaded connection of the fisheye bearing. Elastic deformation compensates for installation errors. The concentric design of the guide block and the threaded block ensures axial movement of the mounting block, avoiding stress concentration caused by tilted installation of the fisheye bearing, forming an elastic support system. When the sorting trolley turns on a curve, the buffering effect of the rubber block can absorb some of the connection impact force, preventing the fisheye bearing from loosening due to long-term vibration.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-9 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0036] An L-shaped narrow strip sorting machine includes a first straight rail 1, one end of a supporting curved rail 2 is fixedly installed on one end of the first straight rail 1, one end of a second straight rail 3 is fixedly installed on the other end of the supporting curved rail 2, and mounting frames 4 are fixedly installed on the other ends of the first straight rail 1 and the second straight rail 3 respectively.
[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, a conveying assembly 6 is provided on a first straight rail 1. The conveying assembly 6 includes a reinforcing rod 61. The reinforcing rod 61 is fixedly installed on the first straight rail 1, the supporting curved rail 2, and the second straight rail 3. A support plate 62 is fixedly installed on the reinforcing rod 61. A single-sided drive motor 63 is fixedly installed on the support plate 62. A sliding rod 64 is provided on the first straight rail 1. A hinge frame 65 is fixedly installed on the sliding rod 64. A guide wheel 66 and a traveling wheel 67 are rotatably installed on the hinge frame 65. A transmission frame 68 is fixedly installed on the sliding rod 64. A support plate 610 is fixedly installed on the transmission frame 68. A side plate 69 is fixedly installed on the support plate 610. Multiple sets of rubber rollers 611 are rotatably installed on the side plate 69. A belt 612 is driven to drive the multiple sets of rubber rollers 611. A threaded block 613 is fixedly installed on the transmission frame 68. A fisheye bearing 614 is threaded onto 613, and a coupling frame 615 is fixedly mounted on the slide rod 64. A guide rail 5 is fixedly mounted on the first straight rail 1, the support curved rail 2, the second straight rail 3, and the mounting frame 4. The guide rail 5 consists of a guide rail, a traveling rail, and a head curved rail. The guide wheel 66 slides on the guide rail, and the traveling wheel 67 slides on the traveling rail. Multiple sets of reinforcing rod 61, support plate 62, single-sided drive motor 63, slide rod 64, hinge frame 65, guide wheel 66, traveling wheel 67, transmission frame 68, pallet 610, side plate 69, rubber roller 611, belt 612, threaded block 613, fisheye bearing 614, and coupling frame 615 are arranged to form a conveyor chain. The fisheye bearing 614 is set between the coupling frames 615 and connected to them by anchors 616. The output end of the single-sided drive motor 63 is connected to the transmission frame 68.
[0038] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rods 61 and support plates 62 fixed on the first straight rail 1, the supporting curved rail 2, and the second straight rail 3 constitute the basic support structure of the conveying assembly 6. A single-sided drive motor 63 installed on it provides power to the conveyor chain. The output end of the single-sided drive motor 63 is connected to the transmission frame 68, which moves along the guide rail 5 via a magnet plate. The hinge frame 65 on the slide rod 64 rotatably mounts the guide wheel 66 and the traveling wheel 67. The traveling wheel 67 bears the weight of the conveyor chain on the traveling rail, while the guide wheel 66 restricts lateral deviation on the guide rail, ensuring the transmission frame 68 runs precisely along the L-shaped guide rail 5. The support plate 610 on the transmission frame 68 and... The side plate 69 forms a package carrying platform. Multiple sets of rubber rollers 611 on the side plate 69 are supported by belts 612 to achieve smooth transport of packages. The threaded block 613 is fixed on the transmission frame 68 and threadedly connected to the fisheye bearing 614. The fisheye bearing 614 is connected to the coupling frame 615 through the anchor 616 to form a flexible connection. This design allows the front and rear transmission frames 68 to deviate to a certain extent when passing through the support curved rail 2. Combined with the flexible connection of the T-shaped frame, the entire conveyor chain forms a continuous curve at the horizontal curved rail, smoothly transporting packages to the grid. The guide rail 5 consists of a guide rail, a traveling rail, and a head curved rail, providing a precise running trajectory for the conveyor chain.
[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, an auxiliary component 7 is provided on the transmission frame 68. The auxiliary component 7 includes a cylinder 71. One end of a helical spring 72 is fixedly installed inside the cylinder 71. One end of a mounting block 73 is fixedly installed on the other end of the helical spring 72.

[0040] In this embodiment, the cylinder 71 of the auxiliary component 7 is fixed on the transmission frame 68. One end of the internal helical spring 72 is fixed, and the other end pushes the mounting block 73 to slide along the guide block 75. The guide block 75 and the threaded block 613 are concentrically arranged to ensure that the mounting block 73 moves axially. The rubber block 74 at the other end of the mounting block 73 fits against the threaded connection of the fisheye bearing 614. The installation error is compensated by elastic deformation. When the sorting trolley turns on a curve, the buffering effect of the rubber block 74 can absorb the connection impact force and prevent the fisheye bearing 614 from loosening due to long-term vibration. The elastic support of the helical spring 72 forms a buffer system, which can not only compensate for the installation error of each component, but also provide elastic support when the conveyor chain turns, ensuring the stability of the connection of the fisheye bearing 614 and preventing component damage caused by stress concentration.
