[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, an intelligent wireless cargo channel motor includes a housing, on which a motor 9 is mounted. The motor 9 is specifically a DC motor. A spring chuck 3 is rotatably connected to the housing. The motor 9 drives the spring chuck 3 to rotate through a gear assembly. A control board 11 is provided on the housing. The control board 11 includes a micro switch 12 and an antenna 13 for receiving external signals. The micro switch 12 is provided on the control board 11. A trigger element is coaxially provided on the spring chuck 3. When the spring chuck 3 rotates, the trigger element triggers the micro switch 12. The motor 9 is electrically connected to the control board 11, and the control board 11 is connected to an external power source.

[0031] The control board 11 acts as the controller for the entire intelligent wireless goods channel motor. When the antenna 13 receives a command, the control board 11 controls the motor 9 to rotate. The motor 9 drives the spring chuck 3 to rotate via a gear assembly. When the spring chuck 3 rotates one revolution, its trigger element will trigger the micro switch 12 on the control board 11 once and output a signal to the control board 11. After receiving the signal, the control board 11 controls the motor 9 to stop rotating, thus completing one action. The spring chuck 3 is used to fix the goods channel spring, which extends along the goods channel. When the spring chuck 3 rotates, it drives the goods channel spring, thereby pushing the goods forward, and finally the goods detach from the goods channel and fall down.

[0032] The trigger includes a collar 28 mounted on the rotating shaft of the spring chuck 3. The collar 28 is circular, and a clearance surface 29 is cut into its peripheral sidewall. The micro switch 12 is located above the collar 28 with its button facing the collar 28. When the spring chuck 3 rotates, the collar 28 rotates synchronously, and the peripheral sidewall of the collar 28 presses against the button of the micro switch 12. When the spring chuck 3 rotates until the clearance surface 29 aligns with the micro switch 12, the button of the micro switch 12 can automatically reset, thus realizing that one rotation of the spring chuck 3 completes one press of the micro switch 12.

[0033] The gear assembly includes a drive gear 4 mounted on the output shaft of the motor 9 and a driven gear 8 mounted on the rotating shaft of the spring chuck 3. A reduction gear set meshes between the drive gear 4 and the driven gear 8, and the drive gear 4 drives the driven gear 8 to rotate through the reduction gear set. This amplifies the torque output by the motor 9 through the reduction gear set, enabling the conveyor spring to push heavier items.

[0034] The driving gear 4 is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the motor 9. The reduction gear set includes a second-stage gear 5, a third-stage gear 6, and a fourth-stage gear 7 that mesh sequentially, all rotatably connected to the housing. The driving gear 4 meshes with the second-stage gear 5, and the driven gear 8 meshes with the fourth-stage gear 7. The housing has multiple hollow cylindrical protrusions inside, and the shafts of the reduction gear set are respectively installed in these hollow cylindrical protrusions and can rotate. The housing surface is designed with a mounting structure to allow the channel motor 9 to be mounted on the channel pallet.

[0035] The rotating shaft of the spring chuck 3 has a square segment 22, and the driven gear 8 has a square hole. One end of the rotating shaft of the spring chuck 3 passes through the square hole of the driven gear 8 and is fixed by a fixing spring 19 and a fixing screw 20. The driven gear 8 is fitted onto the square segment 22 through the square hole. When the output gear drives the driven gear 8 to rotate, the spring chuck 3 will also rotate synchronously. Both ends of the rotating shaft of the spring chuck 3 extend out of the outer casing and are rotatably connected to the outer casing. The spring chuck 3 and the fixing screw 20 are located on the two sides of the outer casing, and the square segment 22 is located inside the outer casing.

[0036] A protective box 17 is installed on the outer casing, covering the control board 11. The control board 11 includes a power interface 14 and a motor 9 interface. The protective box 17 has a first clearance hole and a second clearance hole. The power interface 14 and the motor 9 interface pass through the first clearance hole, and the antenna 13 passes through the second clearance hole. The power interface 14 is used to connect an external power cord, and the motor 9 interface is used to connect the control board 11 to the motor 9. A label 18 is affixed to the outer surface of the protective box 17. The label 18 is used to print equipment information such as model number, unique identifier, and barcode. When the freight channel motor 9 is used for the first time, it can be set and bound by entering the unique identifier code on the label 18 on the main controller.

[0037] The outer casing has several protruding connecting posts 16, and the control board 11 has several connecting holes that mate with the connecting posts 16. The connecting posts 16 pass through the connecting holes to achieve the positioning of the control board 11. The protective box 17 has through holes corresponding to the connecting posts 16, and the connecting posts 16 have threaded grooves in the middle. The protective box 17 is threadedly connected to the connecting posts 16 by fasteners 21. In this embodiment, the fasteners 21 are specifically screws.

[0038] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a circular tube 23 protrudes from the outer casing. The motor 9 is inserted into the circular tube 23. The peripheral sidewall of the motor 9 can fit against the inner wall of the circular tube 23. The motor 9 and the circular tube 23 are respectively provided with mutually cooperating grooves 24 and first hooks 26. Specifically, the sidewall of the motor 9 is provided with grooves 24, and the sidewall of the circular tube 23 is provided with first hooks 26. When the motor 9 is inserted into the circular tube 23, the first hooks 26 engage with the grooves 24, making it difficult for the motor 9 to come out.

[0039] A protective shell 10 is fitted over the outer side of the circular tube 23. The peripheral wall of the circular tube 23 can fit against the inner wall of the protective shell 10. The protective shell 10 and the circular tube 23 are respectively provided with a stepped surface 25 and a second hook 27 that cooperate with each other. Specifically, the inner wall of the protective shell 10 is provided with a stepped surface 25, and the side wall of the circular tube 23 is provided with a second hook 27. When the protective shell 10 is inserted into the circular tube 23, the second hook 27 engages with the engaging surface, preventing the protective shell 10 from being pushed in further. The removal of the protective shell 10 is limited by friction. The first hook 26 faces inward, and the second hook 27 faces outward.

[0040] The housing includes a first housing 1 and a second housing 2 connected to each other, with the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 forming a receiving cavity inside, where the gear assembly is located. There is a ring of strip-shaped protrusions on the contact surface of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. After the gear assembly inside is installed, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are positioned to each other by the strip-shaped protrusions and are welded together using ultrasonic welding equipment.

[0041] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0042] A wireless transmission module replaces the traditional wired connection. Motor 9 is connected to control board 11 via motor 9 interface. Control board 11 is connected to an external power supply via power interface 14. When antenna 13 receives a command, control board 11 starts motor 9, causing spring chuck 3 to rotate. The goods are pushed out by the cargo channel spring on spring chuck 3. When spring chuck 3 rotates one revolution, micro switch 12 is pressed once by trigger element. After receiving the signal, control board 11 controls motor 9 to stop running, thus completing one action. This significantly reduces the complexity of equipment wiring while realizing a closed loop of signal input / output and control feedback for cargo channel motor 9.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.
