Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic sorting device technology, specifically relating to an automated warehouse goods sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Automated warehouse sorting systems are key equipment for improving warehouse logistics efficiency. They utilize mechanical and automation technologies to rapidly classify and handle goods, significantly reducing manual operation time and error rates, and enhancing overall logistics processing capacity. These systems typically include conveyor systems, robotic sorting arms, and sorting chutes, and are widely used in e-commerce, logistics, and manufacturing industries, forming an important component of modern warehouse management systems.

[0003] However, most existing automated warehousing and sorting devices rely on preset cargo size or weight information for classification, lacking the ability to recognize the appearance features of the cargo. This results in low sorting accuracy and easy classification errors when handling irregularly shaped or differently shaped cargo. In addition, traditional devices often require reprogramming or hardware adjustments when faced with new types of cargo, lacking flexibility and struggling to adapt to rapidly changing logistics needs. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop an improved solution that can automatically identify and classify cargo through visual image recognition equipment. Utility Model Content

The output end of the electric push rod 92 is connected to the piston rod 93. The other end of the piston rod 93 is connected to the slider 97. The lower end of the slider 97 is connected to the connecting plate 98. The motor 99 is located on the side of the connecting plate 98. The output end of the motor 99 is connected to the rotating shaft 910. The surface of the rotating shaft 910 is covered with the push plate 911.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, automatic sorting and pushing of goods can be realized. The electric push rod 92 pushes the slider 97 to move along the slide rail 94 through the piston rod 93, thereby driving the connecting plate 98 and the motor 99 to move. The motor 99 drives the rotating shaft 910 to rotate, which in turn drives the push plate 911 to move and push the goods into the corresponding sorting slide 3. This design not only improves sorting efficiency, but also reduces manual intervention and lowers the error rate.

[0023] Specifically, the sorting mechanism 9 also includes a slide rail 94, a pulley 95, and a connecting block 96. The upper end of the slider 97 is provided with a connecting block 96, and the lower side of the connecting block 96 is provided with a pulley 95.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the pulley 95 rolls in the slide rail 94, which reduces the friction when the slider 97 moves, improves the stability and reliability of the device, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0025] Specifically, the visual image recognition device 10 is used to identify the features of the goods on the conveyor belt 2 and transmit the recognition signal to the controller 6. The visual image recognition device 10 includes a camera and an image processing unit, which can identify features such as the shape, size, and color of the goods, and convert the recognition result into an electrical signal and transmit it to the controller 6.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the visual image recognition device 10 can accurately identify the characteristics of various goods. Even when the goods are irregular in shape or have large differences in appearance, it can achieve high-precision classification, which greatly improves the sorting accuracy and meets the needs of diversified goods in modern warehousing and logistics.

[0027] Specifically, the controller 6 is electrically connected to the visual image recognition device 10, the electric push rod 92, and the motor 99.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller 6, as the control core of the entire system, can coordinate the work of each component and ensure the automation and intelligence of the entire sorting process. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the tedium of manual operation and improves the overall performance of the system.

[0029] Specifically, the categorized slides 3 are configured in multiple groups, each group corresponding to a specific category of goods. A sensor 11 is installed at the entrance of each categorized slide 3 to detect whether goods have entered the slide and transmits the detection signal to the controller 6. The controller 6 adjusts the actions of the electric push rod 92 and the motor 99 based on the signal from the sensor 11 to ensure that goods accurately enter the corresponding categorized slide 3.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, sensor 11 can monitor the position of goods in real time, ensuring that goods accurately enter the sorting slide 3, further improving the accuracy and reliability of sorting. This design makes the entire sorting system more intelligent and automated, adapting to the high-efficiency needs of modern warehousing and logistics.
