Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of warehouse sorting technology, specifically a cylindrical rack and pinion pusher assembly for a warehouse sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] Warehouse sorting is a crucial link in warehousing operations. It refers to a series of operations during the storage of goods, including receiving, classifying, organizing, storing, and inventorying, to ensure accurate quantity, good quality, and orderly storage, meeting the needs of goods entry and exit and inventory management. Warehouse sorting and pushing equipment not only utilizes mechanical structures and control systems to ensure the accuracy of goods pushing and speed up the storage and retrieval of goods, but also reduces inventory backlog and stockouts, improving overall operational efficiency. However, if the equipment cannot achieve fully automated transmission, it will increase labor costs and the labor intensity and safety risks associated with manual operation.
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the prior art (Chinese patent application number 202121387375.X, application date 2021-06-22) provides an intelligent warehouse verification device, including a verification table, a transport rack, and a pushing device. The transport rack is located on one side of the verification table, and the pushing device is provided on the surface of the verification table. The pushing device includes a bracket, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the verification table. A motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bracket, and a drive wheel is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A drive bar is slidably connected to the inner wall of the bracket, and the drive bar is engaged with the drive wheel. By setting up the pushing device, it is convenient to push the goods to the operator's side, thereby avoiding the cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient operation of manually pulling the goods, thus reducing the workload of the operator and improving the ease of use of the equipment.
[0004] Warehouse environments are typically complex, containing shelves, other equipment, and various obstacles. Without limiting protection, goods can easily deviate from their intended path during the pushing process, colliding with surrounding objects and causing damage to packaging, scratches, or even internal contents. The aforementioned devices cannot effectively protect the goods being pushed, leading to damaged packaging, rendering the goods unusable or reducing their value. This also causes normal warehouse handling operations to stall, reducing overall operational efficiency and shortening the lifespan of the devices. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cylindrical rack and pinion pushing component for a warehouse sorting machine, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are unable to effectively protect the goods that need to be pushed, resulting in damage to the packaging of the goods, rendering the goods unusable or reducing their value, while also causing the normal warehouse sorting operation to stop, reducing the overall operation efficiency, and reducing the service life of the device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cylindrical rack and pinion pusher assembly for a warehouse sorting device, comprising a frame, a conveyor platform fixedly connected to the upper front end of the frame, a motor fixedly connected to the upper right side end of the frame, a pusher assembly slidably connected to the upper surface of the frame, and a rack fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pusher assembly; a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, the rotating shaft being rotatably disposed inside the frame, and a first gear fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, the first gear being meshed with the rack; a limiting rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame near the conveyor platform, and a partition plate slidably connected through the limiting rod; a fixing plate fixedly connected to the upper left side end of the frame, a sliding shaft rotatably disposed inside the fixing plate, and a dust suction head fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding shaft.
[0007] Preferably, a drive shaft is rotatably mounted inside the frame, and belts are fitted and connected to both the surface of the drive shaft and the surface of the rotating shaft.
[0008] Preferably, a movable shaft is rotatably provided inside the frame, and bevel gears are fixedly connected to both the surface of the movable shaft and the surface of the transmission shaft.
[0009] Preferably, the movable shaft is threadedly connected to the isolation plate, and the isolation plate is slidably disposed inside the frame. The isolation plates are symmetrically distributed about the center of the conveyor table, and connecting rods are fixedly connected to the surface of each isolation plate.
[0010] Preferably, a connecting shaft is rotatably provided inside the frame near the conveyor table, and belts are sleeved and connected to both the surface of the connecting shaft and the surface of the rotating shaft.
[0011] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding shaft, and a sliding block is sleeved and connected to the surface of the support frame, and one end of the sliding block is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding block.
[0012] Preferably, the other end of the protrusion is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft, and the lower left side of the frame is fixedly connected to the negative pressure dust collection box.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the cylindrical rack and pinion pusher assembly of the warehouse sorting machine adopts a novel structural design, the specific details of which are as follows:
[0014] The cylindrical rack and pinion pusher assembly of this warehouse sorting machine, through the setting of isolation plates and limit bars, ensures that the goods remain upright or in a predetermined placement posture throughout the pushing process, avoiding collisions between the equipment and the shelves, thereby protecting the goods packaging and internal items from damage.
[0015] Furthermore, the partition plate can prevent goods from tipping over due to uneven force during the pushing process, protect the integrity of the goods, reduce the wear and tear on the pushing components, and extend the service life of the device.
[0016] The cylindrical rack and pinion pusher of this warehouse sorting machine effectively reduces debris and contaminants on the surface of goods through the negative pressure dust collection box and sliding shaft, preventing debris from flying and accumulating in the working area and keeping the storage space and the environment around the pusher clean.
[0017] Furthermore, it reduces the wear and tear on the equipment, extends the maintenance cycle and service life of the equipment, reduces the failure rate caused by equipment wear, and improves the stability of equipment operation.
[0018] (3) The cylindrical rack and pinion push assembly of the warehouse sorting machine, by setting a limit rod and a frame, makes the movement of the isolation plate on the frame smoother, effectively reducing the friction between the isolation plate and the frame, which not only reduces the wear of the parts, but also significantly extends the overall service life of the device.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] 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.
[0028] Example 1: By using the frame 1, conveyor table 7, and limit rod 12, the friction between the isolation plate 11 and the frame 1 is reduced, extending the service life of the device. Figures 1-2 As shown: It includes a frame 1, a conveyor table 7 is fixedly connected to the upper front side of the frame 1, and a motor 2 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the frame 1. A pusher assembly 5 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the frame 1, and a rack 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pusher assembly 5. A rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2, and the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably disposed inside the frame 1. A first gear 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 3, and the first gear 4 is meshed with the rack 6. A limit rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 near the conveyor table 7, and an isolation plate 11 is slidably connected through the limit rod 12. A fixing plate 16 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the frame 1, and a sliding shaft 19 is rotatably disposed inside the fixing plate 16. A dust suction head 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding shaft 19.
[0029] Workers place the goods to be pushed onto the surface of the conveyor table 7 using the conveyor device, ensuring that the goods are parallel to the pushing component 5 and positioned between the two partition plates 11. The push component 5 is then accurately aligned with the goods. After confirming the goods are correctly positioned, the worker starts the motor 2, which drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate inside the frame 1. This causes the first gear 4 on the surface of the rotating shaft 3 to mesh with the rack 6 on the lower surface of the pushing component 5, thus causing the pushing component 5 to slide on the upper surface of the frame 1, pushing the goods onto the surface of the conveyor table 7. The use of a limit rod 12 ensures smoother movement of the partition plates 11 on the frame 1, effectively reducing friction between the partition plates 11 and the frame 1. This not only reduces wear on components but also significantly extends the overall service life of the device, reducing maintenance costs and downtime caused by frequent replacement of worn parts.
[0030] In Example 2, unlike Example 1, the inclusion of a drive shaft 8, a moving shaft 10, and an isolation plate 11 enhances the protection of the goods being pushed, effectively protecting the precision components inside the goods from vibration damage. Figures 3-5 As shown: A drive shaft 8 is rotatably installed inside the frame 1, and belts are sleeved and connected to both the surface of the drive shaft 8 and the surface of the rotating shaft 3. A movable shaft 10 is rotatably installed inside the frame 1, and bevel gears 9 are fixedly connected to both the surface of the movable shaft 10 and the surface of the drive shaft 8. An isolation plate 11 is threadedly connected to the surface of the movable shaft 10, and the isolation plate 11 is slidably installed inside the frame 1. The isolation plates 11 are symmetrically distributed about the center of the conveyor table 7, and connecting rods 13 are fixedly connected to the surface of the isolation plates 11.
[0031] When the motor 2 rotates, it drives the output shaft 3 to rotate inside the frame 1. The belt drives the drive shaft 8 to rotate inside the frame 1. At the same time, bevel gears 9 are installed on the surfaces of the drive shaft 8 and the moving shaft 10. This allows the rotating shaft 3 to drive the moving shaft 10 to rotate inside the frame 1 when it is working. An isolation plate 11 is threadedly connected to the surface of the moving shaft 10. As the moving shaft 10 rotates, the isolation plate 11 slides on the surface of the limit rod 12 and slides towards the surface of the conveyor table 7 to protect the goods to be pushed. This ensures that the goods remain upright or in a predetermined position during the entire pushing process, preventing the equipment from colliding with the shelf and thus protecting the packaging and contents of the goods from damage.
[0032] Example 3: In this example, unlike Example 2, the negative pressure dust collection box 21, protrusion 15, and support frame 17 ensure thorough removal of dust from the surface and surrounding areas of the goods, improving the safety of the storage environment. Figures 6-7As shown: Inside the frame 1, a connecting shaft 14 is rotatably installed near the conveyor table 7. Both the surface of the connecting shaft 14 and the surface of the rotating shaft 3 are fitted with belts. A support frame 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding shaft 19. A sliding block 18 is fitted to the surface of the support frame 17. One end of a protrusion 15 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding block 18. The other end of the protrusion 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 14. A negative pressure dust collection box 21 is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the frame 1.
[0033] When the belt drives the rotating shaft 3, it causes the connecting shaft 14 to rotate inside the frame 1. As the connecting shaft 14 rotates inside the frame 1, the protrusion 15 on the surface of the connecting shaft 14 slides on the surface of the sliding block 18, and the sliding block 18 slides on the surface of the support frame 17. As the sliding block 18 slides on the surface of the support frame 17, it causes the sliding shaft 19 to rotate inside the fixed plate 16, thereby causing the dust suction head 20 on the upper surface of the sliding shaft 19 to swing. The dust suction head 20 is connected to the negative pressure dust collection box 21 through the rubber hose, which effectively reduces the debris and contaminants on the surface of the goods, prevents debris from flying and accumulating in the working area, and keeps the storage space and the environment around the pushing component 5 clean.
[0034] The above is the entire working process of the device, and all contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
