Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dynamic sorting, specifically to a dynamic sorting mechanical structure with adaptively adjustable track width. Background Technology

[0002] Dynamic sorting is an advanced automated sorting technology that dynamically adjusts sorting strategies based on real-time information such as size, shape, and destination of items during transport, accurately sorting items to designated locations. This technology significantly improves sorting efficiency and accuracy while reducing labor costs, making it a crucial technology in modern logistics, manufacturing, and e-commerce. The mechanical structure of dynamic sorting forms the physical basis for this technology. It includes a conveyor system (such as conveyor belts and roller conveyors) responsible for the continuous flow of items; an identification module (including vision sensors such as cameras, laser scanners, and weighing units) for real-time item information acquisition; and an actuator (such as sorting arms, push rods, pneumatic or electric grippers, and suction cups) that, according to instructions from the control system, pushes items into designated chutes or picks them up and places them in designated locations.

[0003] During use, existing dynamic sorting machinery lacks the ability to adaptively adjust the track width. This can lead to situations where goods get stuck on the track and cannot reach the sorting position. This not only increases the missorting rate but also reduces sorting efficiency. Over time, the dynamic sorting machinery will also become less flexible, requiring frequent manual replacement of equipment or adjustment of parameters.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a dynamic sorting mechanical structure that adaptively adjusts the track width to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dynamic sorting machine structure with adaptive track width adjustment. This structure achieves adaptive track width adjustment through a first adjustable conveyor track, a second adjustable conveyor track, a placement platform, a spacing measuring grid, fixing bolts, a scale, and a telescopic cylinder. This design allows goods to pass smoothly through the sorting area, reducing jamming and blockage, thereby improving sorting efficiency. Furthermore, detecting the width of the goods and adjusting the track width ensures that goods are accurately sorted to their designated positions, reducing missorting rates. Over long-term use, this dynamic sorting machine structure can adapt to goods of different sizes without frequent equipment changes or parameter adjustments, enhancing overall flexibility. This addresses the problem in existing dynamic sorting machines where the lack of adaptive track width adjustment leads to goods getting stuck on the track and unable to reach their sorting positions, increasing missorting rates and reducing sorting efficiency. Furthermore, over long-term use, the dynamic sorting machine structure suffers from insufficient flexibility, requiring frequent manual equipment changes or parameter adjustments.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dynamic sorting mechanical structure with adaptive track width adjustment, including a sorting frame and a main body for sorting;

[0007] Fixed slide rails are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper part of the sorting rack. Fixed slide sleeves are slidably connected to the outside. A first adjustable conveyor rail is fixedly installed above the fixed slide sleeves. A second adjustable conveyor rail is slidably connected to the other side of the upper part of the sorting rack. Electric conveyor belts are fixedly installed inside both the first and second adjustable conveyor rails. Fixed slots are opened at the front end of the first adjustable conveyor rails. Fixed blocks are embedded inside the fixed slots. Placement platforms are fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed blocks.

[0008] A spacing measuring grid is fixedly installed above the placement platform. It is used for external threaded fixing bolts, and the front end of the fixing bolts is threaded with a scale. Side support plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the sorting rack. Telescopic cylinders are fixedly installed on the outside of the side support plates. The front end of the telescopic cylinders is fixedly connected to the outside of the first and second adjusting conveyor tracks.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing block fixedly installed on the outside of the placement platform engages with the fixing slot opened at the front end of the first adjusting conveying track, and the fixing block and the fixing slot are used in cooperation.

[0010] Preferably, the scale is threadedly connected to the placement platform, and the spacing measuring grid is integrated with the placement platform.

[0011] Preferably, the number of telescopic cylinders is set to multiple, and the multiple telescopic cylinders are distributed at equal intervals above the sorting rack.

[0012] Preferably, a first electric slide rail is fixedly provided on both sides of the outer side of the sorting rack, a first electric sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the outer side of the first electric slide rail, a gantry frame is fixedly installed on the outer side of the first electric sliding sleeve, and a back mounting plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the gantry frame.

[0013] Preferably, a second electric slide rail is fixedly provided on the outside of the back panel, a second electric slide sleeve is slidably connected to the outside of the second electric slide rail, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the outside of the second electric slide sleeve, and a pneumatic sorting chuck is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0015] This utility model includes a first adjustable conveyor track, a second adjustable conveyor track, a placement platform, a spacing measuring grid, fixing bolts, a ruler, and telescopic cylinders. When using this dynamic sorting machine structure, since the front ends of both the first and second adjustable conveyor tracks are equipped with placement platforms, when goods are placed on the placement platforms, the distance between the first and second adjustable conveyor tracks and the goods is first measured using the spacing measuring grid and the ruler. Then, multiple sets of telescopic cylinders extend and retract, pushing the first and second adjustable conveyor tracks to slide left and right on the sorting rack, thereby adjusting the track width. This allows the electric conveyor belt to adapt to the width of the goods for normal conveying and sorting. This gives the dynamic sorting machine structure the ability to adaptively adjust the track width. This design allows goods to pass through the sorting smoothly, reducing jamming and blockage, thereby improving sorting efficiency. Moreover, detecting the width of the goods and adjusting the track width ensures that the goods are accurately sorted to the designated position, reducing the missorting rate. Over long-term use, this dynamic sorting machine structure can also adapt to goods of different sizes without frequent equipment changes or parameter adjustments, enhancing overall flexibility.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The adaptively adjustable track width dynamic sorting mechanical structure shown includes a sorting frame 1, which is the main body for sorting.

[0026] Fixed slide rail 2 is fixedly installed on both sides above the sorting rack 1. Fixed slide sleeve 3 is externally slidably connected to it. A first adjustable conveyor rail 4 is fixedly installed above the fixed slide sleeve 3. A second adjustable conveyor rail 5 is slidably connected to the other side above the sorting rack 1. Electric conveyor belts 6 are fixedly installed inside both the first adjustable conveyor rail 4 and the second adjustable conveyor rail 5. Fixed slots 7 are opened at the front end of the first adjustable conveyor rail 4. Fixed blocks 8 are embedded inside the fixed slots 7. Placement platforms 9 are fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed blocks 8.

[0027] A spacing measuring grid 10 is fixedly installed above the placement platform 9. A fixing bolt 11 is threaded through the outside of the grid, and a scale 12 is threaded to the front end of the fixing bolt 11. Side support plates 13 are fixedly installed on both sides of the sorting rack 1. Telescopic cylinders 14 are fixedly installed on the outside of the side support plates 13. The front end of the telescopic cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first adjusting conveyor track 4 and the second adjusting conveyor track 5. When the goods are placed on the placement platform 9, the distance between the first adjusting conveyor track 4 and the second adjusting conveyor track 5 and the goods is first measured by the spacing measuring grid 10 and the scale 12. Then, multiple sets of telescopic cylinders 14 are extended and retracted to push the first adjusting conveyor track 4 and the second adjusting conveyor track 5 to slide left and right on the sorting rack 1, thereby adjusting the track width.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixing block 8 fixedly installed on the outside of the placement platform 9 engages with the fixing slot 7 opened at the front end of the first adjusting conveyor track 4. The fixing block 8 and the fixing slot 7 work together to facilitate quick and easy docking and installation of the placement platform 9 with the first adjusting conveyor track 4 and the second adjusting conveyor track 5. The scale 12 is threadedly connected to the placement platform 9. The spacing measuring grid 10 is integrated with the placement platform 9. The spacing measuring grid 10 and the scale 12 are used to measure the width of the distance between the first adjusting conveyor track 4 and the second adjusting conveyor track 5 and the goods. The number of telescopic cylinders 14 is set to multiple. The multiple telescopic cylinders 14 are evenly distributed above the sorting rack 1. The multiple sets of telescopic cylinders 14 have sufficient power to push the first adjusting conveyor track 4 and the second adjusting conveyor track 5 to slide left and right on the sorting rack 1, thereby adjusting the track width.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a first electric slide rail 15 is fixedly installed on both sides of the sorting rack 1. A first electric sliding sleeve 16 is slidably connected to the outside of the first electric slide rail 15. A gantry frame 17 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first electric sliding sleeve 16. A backing plate 18 is fixedly installed on the outside of the gantry frame 17. The first electric slide rail 15 and the first electric sliding sleeve 16 can drive the first electric sliding sleeve 16 to slide longitudinally, thereby adjusting the sorting position. A second electric slide rail 19 is fixedly installed on the outside of the backing plate 18. A second electric sliding sleeve 20 is slidably connected to the outside of the second electric slide rail 19. A hydraulic cylinder 21 is fixedly installed on the outside of the second electric sliding sleeve 20. A pneumatic sorting chuck 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 21. The second electric slide rail 19 and the second electric sliding sleeve 20 can drive the pneumatic sorting chuck 22 to move laterally, thereby completing the gripping of goods.

[0030] The working principle of this practical system is as follows: First, connect the external power supply and place the goods to be sorted on the placement table 9. Measure the distance between the first and second adjustable conveyor tracks 4 and 5 and the goods using the spacing measuring grid 10 and scale 12. Then, extend and retract multiple sets of telescopic cylinders 14, pushing the first and second adjustable conveyor tracks 4 and 5 to slide left and right on the sorting rack 1, thereby adjusting the track width. Once the width of the first and second adjustable conveyor tracks 4 and 5 is suitable for the current goods being transported, the electric conveyor belt 6 can be started, allowing it to adapt to the width of the goods for sorting. This gives the dynamic sorting mechanism the ability to adaptively adjust the track width, allowing goods to pass smoothly through the sorting area and reducing jamming and blockage. This phenomenon improves sorting efficiency. Then, turn on the switch of the first electric slide rail 15 to move the gantry 17 back and forth. Next, turn on the switch of the second electric slide rail 19 on the back plate 18 to move the pneumatic sorting chuck 22 above the sorted goods. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 21 lowers the pneumatic sorting chuck 22 to clamp and sort the goods below. Finally, after completing the installation and use of the entire dynamic sorting mechanical structure according to the above operations, turn off the switch of the electric conveyor belt 6, the switch of the telescopic cylinder 14, and the switches of the first electric slide rail 15 and the second electric slide rail 19. If not used for a long time, simply disconnect the external power supply. This completes the use of the dynamic sorting mechanical structure with adaptive track width adjustment.

[0031] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
