Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of express sorting equipment technology, and in particular to an express sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of the booming logistics industry, express delivery volume has experienced explosive growth. As a crucial link in logistics transportation, express sorting's efficiency and accuracy directly impact the operational speed and service quality of the entire logistics system. Currently, traditional express sorting methods primarily rely on manual sorting. Manual sorting not only requires a large workforce but is also labor-intensive and inefficient. During the sorting process, sorting personnel need to identify information on the express packages and then move them to the corresponding areas. This process is susceptible to human factors such as fatigue and negligence, leading to a high error rate. Furthermore, during manual sorting, express packages are easily subjected to collisions, compression, and other external forces during handling and stacking, causing damage to the contents, resulting in losses for customers and affecting the reputation of logistics companies. With the development of automation technology, some automated sorting equipment has gradually been applied to the express sorting field; however, existing automated sorting equipment still has some problems in its use. For example, some sorting equipment lacks effective cushioning devices, resulting in greater impact force on express parcels during their descent, which can easily damage them; the sorting equipment also has poor adaptability, making it difficult to flexibly adjust to express parcels of different sizes and weights, thus affecting sorting efficiency and accuracy; in order to solve the above problems and improve the efficiency of express sorting, this express sorting machine was developed. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a parcel sorting machine. Through the corresponding arrangement of a conveyor belt module, an electric push rod, a push plate, and a discharge channel and a receiving trough, the machine realizes the automatic sorting process of parcels from the conveyor belt module to the receiving trough. When the parcel arrives at the designated position, the electric push rod pushes the push plate to push the parcel to the discharge channel, and then it slides down to the corresponding receiving trough through the discharge channel. No manual intervention is required, which greatly improves the sorting efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is an express sorting machine, including a conveyor belt module. A set of evenly arranged discharge channels are fixedly connected to one side of the outer shell of the conveyor belt module. The discharge channels are inclined. A set of evenly arranged receiving grooves are provided on one side of the conveyor belt module. The receiving grooves correspond one-to-one with the discharge channels.

[0005] The receiving trough is equipped with a receiving buffer assembly, which is connected to a lifting assembly, and the lifting assembly fixes the receiving trough.

[0006] Furthermore, the receiving buffer assembly includes a square plate, which is slidably disposed within the receiving groove. The outer shell of a gas spring is fixed to the four corners of the square plate, and the telescopic rod of the gas spring is fixed to the receiving plate. The receiving plate is slidably connected to the receiving groove. A notch is provided in the middle of one side of the receiving plate, and an annular stop bar is fixedly disposed on the receiving plate corresponding to the notch. Several evenly arranged buffer pads are fixed on the receiving plate, and the square plate is connected to the movable end of the lifting assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a fixing frame, which fixes one side of the receiving groove. The fixing frame is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, which is fixedly connected to a second motor. The output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of a screw, which is screwed to the square plate. The lower end of the screw is rotatably connected to the lower end of the receiving groove. The receiving groove is also fixedly connected to a guide rod, which passes through the square plate. The guide rod and the screw are disposed within the recess.

[0008] Furthermore, on the other side of the outer shell of the conveyor belt module, corresponding to the position of each of the discharge channels, the outer shell of the electric push rod is fixedly connected, and the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the push plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the push plate is L-shaped, and a first motor is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate. The output shaft of the first motor is rotatably connected to the push plate, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a camera, which is fixedly connected to a bracket, and the bracket is fixedly connected to the housing of the conveyor belt module.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model of a courier sorting machine are as follows:

[0012] By setting up a conveyor belt module, electric push rod, push plate, and corresponding discharge channel and receiving trough, the automatic sorting process of express delivery from the conveyor belt module to the receiving trough is realized. When the express delivery arrives at the designated position, the electric push rod pushes the push plate to push the express delivery to the discharge channel, and then slides down to the corresponding receiving trough through the discharge channel. No manual intervention is required, which greatly improves sorting efficiency.

[0013] The equipment is equipped with a camera that can capture images of express packages on the conveyor belt in real time and transmit the images to the control system. The control system identifies information such as the type, size, and location of the express packages, and then controls the movement of components such as electric push rods and push plates to ensure that the express packages can be accurately sorted into the corresponding receiving troughs, thus reducing the sorting error rate.

[0014] The receiving and buffer components inside the receiving trough play a crucial protective role. When a package falls into the trough, the receiving plate is impacted. The telescopic rod of the gas spring extends and retracts according to the magnitude of the impact force, causing the receiving plate to move up and down. At the same time, the buffer pad further absorbs the impact force. The combination of the gas spring and the buffer pad can adaptively adjust according to the weight and falling speed of the package, effectively reducing the impact force when the package falls and protecting it from damage.

[0015] The lifting assembly can precisely adjust the height of the receiving plate. After the second motor starts, it drives the screw to rotate, causing the square plate screwed to the screw to move up and down along the screw. The guide rod provides guidance for the movement of the square plate and prevents rotation.

[0016] A first motor fixed to one side of the L-shaped pusher plate drives the baffle plate to rotate. The baffle plate's angle can be adjusted as needed. When the pusher plate pushes the express delivery, the baffle plate acts as a barrier and guide, preventing the express delivery from shifting or falling during the push process, thus ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the push process.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but these specific embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0023] See Figures 1-4A kind of express sorting machine includes a conveyor belt module 2. A set of evenly arranged discharge channels 7 are fixedly connected to one side of the outer shell of the conveyor belt module 2. The discharge channels 7 are inclined. A set of evenly arranged receiving grooves 8 are provided on one side of the conveyor belt module 2. The receiving grooves 8 correspond one-to-one with the discharge channels 7.

[0024] The receiving trough 8 is equipped with a receiving buffer component, which is connected to the lifting component, and the lifting component fixes the receiving trough 8.

[0025] In this embodiment, the inclined discharge channel 7 allows the express delivery to slide from the conveyor belt module 2 into the corresponding receiving trough 8 under the action of gravity. The receiving buffer component is used to reduce the impact force when the express delivery falls, and the lifting component can adjust the height of the receiving buffer component as needed to adapt to different sorting requirements. Through the corresponding setting of the discharge channel 7 and the receiving trough 8, it is ensured that the express delivery can be accurately sorted into the corresponding position. The setting of the receiving buffer component and the lifting component improves the stability and reliability of the sorting process and reduces damage to the express delivery.

[0026] The receiving buffer assembly includes a square plate 17, which is slidably disposed in the receiving groove 8. The four corners of the square plate 17 are respectively fixed with the outer shell of the gas spring 18. The telescopic rod of the gas spring 18 is fixed with the receiving plate 9. The receiving plate 9 is slidably connected to the receiving groove 8. A notch is provided in the middle of one side of the receiving plate 9. A ring-shaped stop bar 16 is fixed on the receiving plate 9 corresponding to the notch. Several evenly arranged buffer pads 10 are fixed on the receiving plate 9. The square plate 17 is connected to the movable end of the lifting assembly.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the express delivery falls into the receiving trough 8, the receiving plate 9 is impacted. The telescopic rod of the gas spring 18 extends and retracts according to the magnitude of the impact force, thereby causing the receiving plate 9 to move up and down. The buffer pad 10 further absorbs the impact force. The square plate 17 slides within the receiving trough 8, providing guidance and support for the movement of the receiving plate 9. Function: The receiving buffer assembly effectively reduces the impact force when the express delivery falls, protecting it from damage. The combination of the gas spring 18 and the buffer pad 10 can adaptively adjust according to the weight and falling speed of the express delivery, improving the buffering effect. The sliding cooperation between the square plate 17 and the receiving plate 9 ensures the smoothness of the buffering process.

[0028] The lifting assembly includes a fixed frame 11, which fixes one side of the receiving groove 8. The fixed frame 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12, which is fixedly connected to the second motor 13. The output shaft of the second motor 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the screw 14. The screw 14 is screwed to the square plate 17. The lower end of the screw 14 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the receiving groove 8. The receiving groove 8 is also fixedly connected to the guide rod 15, which passes through the square plate 17. The guide rod 15 and the screw 14 are arranged in a recess.

[0029] In this embodiment, after the second motor 13 starts, its output shaft drives the screw 14 to rotate. Since the screw 14 is screwed to the square plate 17, the square plate 17 will move up and down along the screw 14. The guide rod 15 passes through the square plate 17 to guide the movement of the square plate 17 and prevent the square plate 17 from rotating during the movement. The lifting assembly can precisely adjust the height of the receiving plate 9 to adapt to the discharge channel 7 of different heights or to dock with subsequent equipment.

[0030] On the other side of the outer shell of the conveyor belt module 2, corresponding to the position of each discharge channel 7, the outer shell of the electric push rod 4 is fixedly connected. The electric push rod 4 is fixedly connected to the push plate 3. After the electric push rod 4 is powered on, its telescopic rod will extend or retract, driving the push plate 3 to move. When the express delivery arrives at the designated position, the electric push rod 4 pushes the push plate 3, pushing the express delivery from the conveyor belt module 2 into the discharge channel 7. The combination of the electric push rod 4 and the push plate 3 realizes the automatic pushing function of the express delivery, improving sorting efficiency.

[0031] The push plate 3 is L-shaped, and a first motor 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate 3. The output shaft of the first motor 5 is rotatably connected to the push plate 3, and the output shaft of the first motor 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle 6. After the first motor 5 is started, its output shaft drives the baffle 6 to rotate. The baffle 6 can be adjusted in angle as needed. When the push plate 3 pushes the express delivery, the baffle 6 can block and guide the delivery, preventing it from deviating or falling during the pushing process.

[0032] It also includes a camera, a fixed connection bracket 1 for the camera, and a fixed connection bracket 1 to the housing of the conveyor belt module 2.

[0033] It also includes a controller, which transmits data to the camera. The camera is fixed to the housing of the conveyor belt module 2 via bracket 1 and captures real-time images of the express delivery on the conveyor belt. The images captured by the camera can be transmitted to the control system to identify information such as the type, size, and location of the express delivery, providing a basis for subsequent sorting operations. The controller is electrically connected to the first motor 5, the second motor 13, and the electric push rod 4.

[0034] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The express sorting machine is placed on a flat surface. Based on the expected size and weight of the express packages, the initial height of the receiving plate 9 in the lifting assembly is adjusted to ensure that the packages can fall smoothly into the receiving trough 8 and achieve a good cushioning effect. The camera's recognition parameters are set to ensure accurate recognition of the express package information. After the parameters are set, the conveyor belt module 2 is started to operate. Simultaneously, the camera is activated to enter working mode, capturing real-time images of the express packages on the conveyor belt and transmitting them to the control system. The express packages to be sorted are then placed one by one on the receiving plate 8 of the conveyor belt module 2. At the beginning, to ensure the package is placed stably on the conveyor belt, avoiding overlap or tilting, the package moves forward with the conveyor belt module 2. When it passes the camera, the camera captures and identifies the package, transmitting the information to the control system. Based on the identified information, the control system determines the location of the discharge channel 7 corresponding to the target receiving trough 8. When the package reaches the corresponding conveyor belt position in the discharge channel 7, the control system activates the corresponding electric push rod 4. The telescopic rod of the electric push rod 4 extends, driving the push plate 3 to move, pushing the package from the conveyor belt module 2 to the discharge channel 7. During the pushing process, the first motor 5 drives the baffle 6 to rotate to a suitable angle to block and guide the package, preventing it from deviating or falling. Under the action of gravity, the package slides down the inclined discharge channel 7 into the corresponding receiving trough 8. When the package falls into the receiving trough 8, the receiving plate 9 in the receiving buffer assembly is impacted. The gas spring 18 and the buffer pad 10 work together to absorb the impact force, protecting the package.

[0035] When the number of express packages in the receiving trough 8 reaches a certain level, the staff can take them out for subsequent packaging, transportation and other operations. The receiving plate 9 in the receiving trough 8 can control the height in real time.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
