Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation technology, and in particular to a multi-layer, multi-directional sorting assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the context of the booming development of logistics, warehousing and manufacturing, sorting operations, as a key link, play a decisive role in the efficiency of the entire production and distribution. However, traditional sorting equipment has revealed many drawbacks in practical applications and urgently needs to be innovated.

[0003] Many traditional sorting systems employ a planar layout, with numerous sorting devices and conveyor lines laid out horizontally. This limits the utilization of limited two-dimensional space, significantly restricting sorting efficiency. Furthermore, their sorting direction is singular, typically only capable of sorting operations to one side. To achieve multi-directional diversion, multiple independent sorting lines must be deployed, which undoubtedly increases equipment costs and the complexity of subsequent maintenance. In addition, traditional sorting equipment lacks an effective guiding mechanism during package transport, making packages prone to deviation and falling, affecting sorting efficiency and accuracy. It also lacks flexibility in sorting direction, making it difficult to achieve rapid multi-directional and multi-level sorting and failing to meet the growing and diversified sorting needs. Therefore, this application provides a multi-layer, multi-directional sorting assembly to meet these needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multi-layer, multi-directional sorting assembly, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A multi-layer, multi-directional sorting assembly includes a loading rack, an operating table fixedly connected to the front of the loading rack, a movable table fixedly connected to the inner side of the loading rack near the top, a conveyor B mounted on the inner side of the movable table, a conveyor A fixedly connected to the top of the operating table, an infrared sensor fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor A, a receiver fixedly connected to the other side of the conveyor A, a guide assembly for keeping the package in the center to prevent it from shifting and falling, the guide assembly being connected to the loading rack, and a movable assembly for bidirectionally moving and adjusting the position of the conveyor to place the package into a designated area, the movable assembly being connected to the movable table.

[0007] Optionally, the guide assembly includes a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the inner side of the loading frame. A bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket. A turntable is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional threaded rod extending to the outer side of the mounting bracket. A movable block is threadedly connected to the outer side of the bidirectional threaded rod. A movable groove is formed on the outer side of the movable block. A connecting rod is slidably connected to the inner side of the movable groove. A guide baffle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod.

[0008] Optionally, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket, and the limiting rod is slidably connected to the moving block, and a scale groove is provided on the outer side of the mounting bracket.

[0009] Optionally, the number of guide baffles is two sets, and the guide baffles are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod.

[0010] Optionally, the moving component includes a moving guide rail fixedly connected to the inner side of the moving platform, a rack fixedly connected to the inner side of the moving guide rail, a moving plate slidably connected to the top of the rack, a servo motor fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate near the rack, and a gear fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor, with the gear meshing with the rack.

[0011] Optionally, a support rod is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate, and the top of the support rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the conveyor B.

[0012] Optionally, a pneumatic lifting frame is fixedly connected to the inner side of the loading frame, a conveyor C is fixedly connected to the inner side of the pneumatic lifting frame, and a slide plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the loading frame near the pneumatic lifting frame, and the pneumatic lifting frame and the slide plate are slidably connected.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In the above solution, by setting up a guide component and using an adjustable mechanical structure, adaptive clamping and guiding of express items of different sizes can be achieved. The bidirectional threaded rod drives the symmetrically distributed guide baffles to move synchronously, and the spacing can be quickly adjusted according to the width of the express item to form a dynamic center positioning channel. This ensures that the express item remains centered during the transportation process, effectively avoiding the risk of falling due to deviation, and improving the stability of transmission and the reliability of sorting.

[0015] By setting up moving components and using servo motors to drive rack and pinion transmission, the conveyor achieves flexible bidirectional movement, which can quickly align with sorting ports or storage areas in different directions, realizing multi-directional diversion in the horizontal dimension. Combined with the vertical lifting function of the pneumatic lifting frame, a multi-layer three-dimensional sorting path is constructed, enabling express parcels to flow efficiently in three-dimensional space, breaking through the directional limitations of traditional planar sorting, and significantly improving sorting efficiency and scene adaptability.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-layer, multi-directional sorting assembly, including a loading rack 1, an operating platform 2 fixedly connected to the front of the loading rack 1, a movable platform 3 fixedly connected to the inner side near the top of the loading rack 1, a conveyor B9 mounted on the inner side of the movable platform 3, a conveyor A4 fixedly connected to the top of the operating platform 2, an infrared sensor 5 fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor A4, a receiver 6 fixedly connected to the other side of the conveyor A4, a guide assembly 7 for keeping the package in the center to prevent it from shifting and falling, the guide assembly 7 being connected to the loading rack 1, a movable assembly 8 for quickly positioning the conveyor to facilitate placing the package into the designated area, the movable assembly 8 being connected to the movable platform 3, and a pneumatic device fixedly connected to the inner side of the loading rack 1. The pneumatic lifting frame 10 has a conveyor C11 fixedly connected to its inner side, and a chute plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the loading frame 1 near the pneumatic lifting frame 10. The pneumatic lifting frame 10 and the chute plate 12 are slidably connected. The multi-layer and multi-directional sorting assembly provided in this application can not only realize the rapid transportation of express items through multiple sets of conveyors, thereby improving the efficiency of express item sorting, but also ensure that the express items are centered during transportation through the guide component 7, so that they can accurately reach the next set of conveyors during transmission, avoiding the express items from falling during transmission due to position deviation, which would affect the sorting efficiency. At the same time, the moving component 8 is used to move the position of the conveyor, realizing bidirectional movement to the left and right, so that the express items can be flexibly transported to the storage areas on both sides, reducing time and equipment costs.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 4As shown, the guide assembly 7 includes a mounting bracket 701 fixedly connected to the inner side of the loading frame 1. A bidirectional threaded rod 702 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket 701. A turntable 707 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 702 extending to the outer side of the mounting bracket 701. A moving block 704 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the bidirectional threaded rod 702. A moving groove 705 is formed on the outer side of the moving block 704. A connecting rod 706 is slidably connected to the inner side of the moving groove 705. The bottom of the connecting rod 706 is fixedly connected to... A guide baffle 708 is provided. A limit rod 703 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 701, and the limit rod 703 is slidably connected to the moving block 704. A scale groove 709 is provided on the outer side of the mounting frame 701. There are two sets of guide baffles 708, and the guide baffles 708 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 702. In use, rotating the turntable 707 causes the turntable 707 to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 702 on the inner side of the mounting frame 701 to rotate, so that the two sets of moving blocks 704 are connected. 4. Move along the thread inside the limit rod 703, driving the connecting rod 706 and the guide baffle 708 to move inward. Observe the scale groove 709 so that the moving block 704 moves to a position that matches the width of the package, which facilitates the guidance of the package during transport and prevents it from deviating and falling. Then place the package on the conveyor A4. When the infrared sensor 5 is blocked by the package, the receiver 6 cannot receive infrared rays, and the conveyor A4 will be started. The package on the conveyor A4 will be transported along the guide channel formed by the two sets of guide baffles 708, so that the package is in the center during transport and can accurately reach the next set of conveyors during transmission. This avoids the package from deviating from its position and falling during transmission, which would affect the sorting efficiency. After the package arrives on the conveyor C11, the pneumatic lifting frame 10 will lift the conveyor C11 along the slide plate 12 to the same level as the moving table 3. Then start the conveyor C11 to transfer the package to the conveyor B9 for easy sorting and storage.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figures 5 to 6As shown, the moving component 8 includes a moving guide rail 801 fixedly connected to the inner side of the moving platform 3. A rack 802 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the moving guide rail 801. A moving plate 803 is slidably connected to the top of the rack 802. A servo motor 805 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate 803 near the rack 802. A gear 806 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 805, and the gear 806 meshes with the rack 802. An 804 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate 803, and the top of the support rod 804 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the conveyor B9. When it reaches the conveyor C11, the servo motor 805 is activated. The servo motor 805 causes the bottom gear 806 to mesh with the rack 802 on the inner side of the moving guide rail 801, driving the moving plate 803 to move along the moving guide rail 801. This allows the conveyor B9 at the top of the support rod 804 to accurately reach the opening of the moving platform 3. Activating the conveyor B9 allows the express item to leave the top of the conveyor B9 and slide down through the opening of the moving platform 3 into the storage area. Simultaneously, depending on the type and quantity of express items stored, the servo motor 805 drives the conveyor B9 to adjust its position in both directions, allowing the express items to be flexibly transported to the storage areas on both sides, reducing time and equipment costs.

[0034] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0035] In use, rotating the turntable 707 causes the bidirectional threaded rod 702 inside the mounting bracket 701 to rotate, causing the two sets of moving blocks 704 to move along the thread inside the limiting rod 703. This moves the connecting rod 706 and the guide baffle 708 closer inward. Observing the scale groove 709, the moving block 704 is positioned exactly to match the width of the package, facilitating guidance during package transport and preventing it from shifting or falling. The package is then placed on conveyor A4. When the infrared sensor 5 is blocked by the package, the receiver 6 cannot receive infrared rays, thus activating conveyor A4. The package on conveyor A4 is then transported along the guide channel formed by the two sets of guide baffles 708, ensuring the package is centered during transport and accurately reaches the next conveyor, preventing misalignment and falling, which would affect sorting efficiency. The package then arrives at conveyor C1. After 1, the pneumatic lifting frame 10 lifts the conveyor C11 along the slide plate 12 to the same level as the moving platform 3. The conveyor C11 is started to transfer the express items onto the conveyor B9 for easy sorting and storage. When the express items reach the conveyor C11, the servo motor 805 is turned on, so that the gear 806 at the bottom meshes with the rack 802 on the inner side of the moving guide rail 801 and rotates, driving the moving plate 803 to move along the moving guide rail 801. This allows the conveyor B9 at the top of the support rod 804 to accurately reach the opening of the moving platform 3. The conveyor B9 is then turned on, allowing the express items to leave the top of the conveyor B9 and slide down into the storage area through the opening of the moving platform 3. At the same time, depending on the different express items and the quantity stored, the servo motor 805 drives the conveyor B9 to adjust its position in both directions, so that the express items can be flexibly transported to the storage areas on both sides, reducing time and equipment costs.

[0036] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
