Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of vertical sorting cabinets, specifically a channel sword-shaped groove for vertical sorting cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the logistics and warehousing industry, vertical sorting cabinets are widely used for the storage and sorting of cigarette products. Traditional vertical sorting cabinets typically employ simple grid or aisle structures for guiding and storing materials;

[0003] Traditional channel designs are mostly straight or equal-width structures, which result in low utilization of material inlet and internal space, making it impossible to achieve high-density storage and leading to wasted space. In addition, the channels lack precise path control, and cigarettes are prone to shifting, collapsing or getting stuck during the import or storage process, affecting sorting efficiency and ease of use.

[0004] In view of this, a channel sword-shaped groove for vertical sorting cabinets is proposed. Utility Model Content

Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0006] Given the following technical problems in the existing technology: traditional channel designs are mostly straight or equal-width structures, the utilization rate of material inlet and internal space is not high, high-density storage cannot be achieved, resulting in wasted space, and the channel lacks precise path control, cigarettes are prone to shifting, collapsing or getting stuck during the import or storage process, affecting sorting efficiency and ease of use.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a channel sword-shaped groove for a vertical sorting cabinet, including a guide plate, a limiting plate and a tail plate;

[0008] The guide plate, limiting plate, and tail plate are made of steel to ensure structural stability and durability. The guide plate, limiting plate, and tail plate are all symmetrical structures. The guide plate is responsible for the initial introduction, the limiting plate precisely controls the material path through its inclined design, and the tail plate serves as the end support.

[0009] The integral arrangement formed by a pair of guide plates, limiting plates and tail plates has multiple rows, which are used in pairs to store and guide cigarettes.

[0010] The limiting plate is disposed at one of the outwardly expanding ends of the guide plate, and the limiting plate is inclined.

[0011] The tail plate is located at the end of the limiting plate away from the guide plate;

[0012] A limiting groove is formed between the pair of guide plates, limiting plates and tail plates.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution for a vertical sorting cabinet with a channel sword-shaped groove, the guide plate is inclined and the angle formed by a pair of guide plates is an acute angle, which helps cigarettes slide naturally into the storage position and reduces jamming.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution for the channel sword-shaped groove of a vertical sorting cabinet, the A-point spacing of the multiple rows of guide plates is greater than the B-point spacing of the multiple rows of guide plates. This progressively narrowing design helps the materials to disperse at the entrance and gradually tighten after entering the groove to maintain a neat arrangement.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution for the channel sword-shaped groove of the vertical sorting cabinet, the B-point spacing of the multiple columns of limiting plates is greater than the C-point spacing of the multiple columns of limiting plates, forming a gradually narrowing channel, which enhances the restraint on items such as cigarettes and prevents displacement or collapse.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution for a vertical sorting cabinet with a channel sword-shaped groove, the limiting plate and the guide plate form an obtuse angle, which facilitates the positioning of inserted cigarettes.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution for the channel sword-shaped groove of a vertical sorting cabinet, the limiting plate and the tail plate form an obtuse angle, which facilitates the alignment of the whole with the side baffle position.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. This vertical sorting cabinet uses a channel sword-shaped trough. Through the coordinated design of the guide plate, limiting plate and tail plate, it realizes the rapid introduction, precise path control and stable support of slender items such as cigarettes, ensuring efficient sorting and orderly storage.

[0020] 2. This vertical sorting cabinet uses a multi-row progressively narrowing channel design to disperse and gradually tighten materials at the entrance, maintaining a neat arrangement and maximizing space utilization;

[0021] 3. The vertical sorting cabinet uses a steel structure with sword-shaped channels, which has corrosion resistance and deformation resistance, making it suitable for long-term, high-frequency industrial use environments, ensuring structural stability and service life.

[0022] 4. The vertical sorting cabinet uses a channel sword-shaped groove. Through the obtuse angle design between the limiting plate, guide plate, and tail plate, and the acute angle of the guide plate, the material restraint is enhanced to prevent displacement or collapse, while ensuring that the material slides in smoothly and is easy to pick up.
