Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting device technology, specifically a freight sorting conveyor belt. Background Technology

[0002] In the context of the booming logistics industry, freight sorting, as a crucial link in the logistics process, directly impacts the operational effectiveness of the entire logistics system through its efficiency and accuracy. Traditional freight sorting methods, such as manual sorting, have gradually revealed numerous drawbacks in the face of ever-increasing cargo volumes, including low efficiency, high error rates, and high labor intensity, making them unable to meet the demands of the rapidly developing modern logistics industry.

[0003] Chinese patent CN216225479U discloses a sorting device for international freight. This sorting device uses a conveyor belt to slowly transport goods. As the goods are transported, they pass under an L-shaped device plate. Three scanning sensors scan and sense the goods in sequence. When a sorting push is needed, a motor at the corresponding position drives a connected screw to rotate, which in turn moves a moving block on it. This causes the pushing block connected below to push the goods into the corresponding sorting compartment of the packaging box, completing a contactless and safe sorting process throughout the entire time, greatly improving the convenience and intelligence of the whole process.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, goods are pushed into the sorting grid by the action of the pusher block. However, the goods that fall into the sorting grid will gradually accumulate on the side of the sorting grid near the sliding ramp, and cannot be evenly distributed in the entire sorting grid, thus affecting the collection of goods and resulting in poor performance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a freight sorting conveyor belt to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows.

[0007] A freight sorting conveyor belt includes a base plate and sorting boxes. A conveyor belt is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate, and multiple fixed frames are mounted on the upper surface of the conveyor belt. Scanning sensors are mounted on the top walls of the fixed frames. Multiple sorting mechanisms are arranged on one side of the conveyor belt, with each sorting mechanism corresponding to a scanning sensor. A sliding ramp is installed on the other side of the conveyor belt, corresponding to a sorting mechanism. Multiple sets of clearance grooves are formed on the surface of the base plate, with two clearance grooves in each set. Universal wheels are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the sorting box, and the four universal wheels can be arranged in pairs within the two clearance grooves. A moving mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the base plate to drive the sorting box to move along the length of the clearance grooves.

[0008] Therefore, by setting up the moving mechanism, when goods fall into the sorting box along the sliding ramp under the action of the sorting mechanism and accumulate to a certain height, the sorting box can be moved away from the conveyor belt, so that subsequent goods can fall into other spaces in the sorting box. This allows the goods to be evenly distributed in the sorting box, avoiding local accumulation, increasing the amount of goods collected, reducing the frequency of workers changing the sorting box, improving the efficiency of use, and reducing the workload of workers.

[0009] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism includes a fixed plate mounted on the upper surface of the conveyor belt. An electric push rod is mounted on the outer surface of the fixed plate, and a push plate is mounted on the end of the telescopic end of the electric push rod. A limit rod is connected to the side of the push plate facing away from the sliding inclined plate, and the end of the limit rod slides through to the other side of the fixed plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a mounting groove formed on the upper surface of the base plate and located between two clearance slots. A servo motor is installed inside the mounting groove, and a threaded rod is connected to the end of the servo motor's output shaft. The end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove on the other side. A drive plate is mounted on the outer surface of the threaded rod, and the drive plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a U-shaped sleeve plate is damped and slidably installed on the outer surface of the sorting box in the vertical direction, and the distance between the inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped sleeve plate is greater than the width of the drive plate.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes baffles. Side plates are installed on both sides of the upper surface of the sliding ramp, and the opposite surfaces of the two side plates are provided with grooves that are adapted to the baffles.

[0013] Furthermore, a handrail is installed on the side of the sorting box facing away from the U-shaped sleeve, and a rubber pad is provided on the outer surface of the handrail.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows.

[0015] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a moving mechanism, allows goods to fall into the sorting box along the sliding inclined plate under the action of the sorting mechanism and accumulate to a certain height. This causes the sorting box to move away from the conveyor belt, so that subsequent goods can fall into other spaces in the sorting box. This ensures that the goods are evenly distributed in the sorting box, avoids local accumulation, increases the amount of goods collected, reduces the frequency of workers changing the sorting box, improves the usage effect, and reduces the workload of workers.

[0016] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the baffle, when the sorting box is full of goods and the worker needs to replace it, the baffle can be inserted into the chute. With the limiting effect of the side plates on both sides, the sorted goods can be temporarily blocked, thereby preventing the goods from falling randomly and affecting the sorting box replacement operation. After the sorting box is replaced, simply pull out the baffle, and the temporarily blocked goods will fall into the sorting box. It is convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-5As shown, a freight sorting conveyor belt includes a base plate 1 and sorting boxes 105. A conveyor belt 101 is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1, and multiple fixed frames 102 are mounted on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 101. Scanning sensors 103 are mounted on the top wall of the fixed frames 102. Multiple sorting mechanisms 2 are arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 101, with each sorting mechanism 2 corresponding to a scanning sensor 103. A sliding ramp 104 is installed on the other side of the conveyor belt 101, corresponding to the sorting mechanism 2. Multiple sets of clearance grooves 107 are formed on the surface of the base plate 1, with two clearance grooves in each set. Universal wheels 106 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the sorting box 105, and the four universal wheels 106 can be arranged in pairs in the two clearance grooves 107. A moving mechanism 3 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1, which can drive the sorting box 105 to move along the length direction of the clearance grooves 107.

[0025] In use, goods are placed one by one on the conveyor belt 101 and transported slowly. The goods are transported to the area below the scanning sensor 103 for scanning and identification. When the goods that need to be sorted are identified, the corresponding sorting mechanism 2 can push the goods onto the sliding ramp 104 and drop them down the ramp into the sorting box 105 for collection. Since the goods falling into the same position will cause local accumulation, the moving mechanism 3 can drive the sorting box 105 to move away from the conveyor belt 101, so that subsequent goods can fall into other spaces in the sorting box 105. This allows the goods to be evenly distributed in the sorting box, avoiding local accumulation, increasing the amount of goods collected, reducing the frequency of workers changing the sorting box 105, improving the use effect and reducing the workload of workers.

[0026] Preferably, the sorting mechanism 2 includes a fixed plate 201 mounted on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 101. An electric push rod 202 is mounted on the outer surface of the fixed plate 201, and a push plate 203 is mounted on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 202. A limit rod 204 is connected to the side of the push plate 203 facing away from the sliding inclined plate 104, and the end of the limit rod 204 slides through to the other side of the fixed plate 201.

[0027] When the scanning sensor 103 identifies the goods that need to be sorted, the corresponding electric push rod 202 is activated, and its telescopic end drives the push plate 203 to push out, which can push the goods on the conveyor belt 101 onto the corresponding sliding inclined plate 104 and drop them into the sorting box 105 for collection. Furthermore, the setting of the limiting rod 204 can limit the push plate 203, making its operation more stable and reliable.

[0028] Preferably, the moving mechanism 3 includes a mounting groove 301 formed on the upper surface of the base plate 1 and located between two clearance grooves 107. A servo motor 302 is installed inside the mounting groove 301. A threaded rod 303 is connected to the end of the output shaft of the servo motor 302, and the end of the threaded rod 303 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the other side of the mounting groove 301. A drive plate 304 is mounted on the outer surface of the threaded rod 303, and the drive plate 304 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 301.

[0029] When the servo motor 302 is started, it drives the threaded rod 303 to rotate. Since the drive plate 304 is limited by the inner wall of the mounting groove 301, it can move along the length of the threaded rod 303. Then the drive plate 304 pushes the sorting box 105 to move, so as to achieve the purpose of position adjustment.

[0030] It is worth noting that the servo motor 302 is connected to an external controller (not shown in the figure) via a signal connection. Workers can use the external controller to operate multiple servo motors 302 and adjust the positions of multiple sorting boxes 105 to achieve the purpose of collecting goods. The signal connection and the external controller are common existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Preferably, a U-shaped sleeve plate 4 is damped and slidably installed on the outer surface of the sorting box 105 in the vertical direction, and the distance between the inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped sleeve plate 4 is greater than the width of the drive plate 304.

[0032] With the U-shaped sleeve 4, after the sorting box 105 is pushed to contact the drive plate 304, the worker slides the U-shaped sleeve 4 down to cover the outside of the drive plate 304. When the drive plate 304 pushes the sorting box 105 to move, the U-shaped sleeve 4 can play a limiting role, preventing the sorting box 105 from continuing to slide forward under inertia and causing positional deviation. Moreover, the operation can be completed simply by sliding the U-shaped sleeve 4 up and down. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0033] Preferably, it also includes a baffle 5. Side plates 501 are installed on both sides of the upper surface of the sliding inclined plate 104, and the opposite surfaces of the two side plates 501 are provided with sliding grooves 502 that are adapted to the baffle 5.

[0034] With the baffle 5 in place, when the sorting box 105 is full of goods and the worker needs to replace it, the baffle 5 can be inserted into the chute 502. With the limiting effect of the side plates 501 on both sides, the sorted goods can be temporarily blocked, thereby preventing the goods from falling randomly and affecting the replacement operation of the sorting box 105. After the sorting box 105 is replaced, the baffle 5 can be pulled out to allow the temporarily blocked goods to fall into the sorting box 105. It is convenient to use.

[0035] Preferably, a handrail 6 is installed on the side of the sorting box 105 facing away from the U-shaped sleeve plate 4, and a rubber pad is provided on the outer surface of the handrail 6.

[0036] The handrail 6 makes it easy for workers to push the sorting box 105 to move. The rubber pad not only increases hand friction and reduces hand slippage, but also increases hand comfort and reduces hand discomfort.

[0037] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

For those skilled in the art, any equivalent substitutions or obvious modifications made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and which have the same performance or use, should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
