Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, a linear narrow strip sorting machine includes a machine body 1, several sorting trolleys 2, and an inlet conveyor module 3. The inner side of the machine body 1 is provided with a pair of upward guide rails 11 and downward guide rails 12, which are arranged parallel vertically. Several sorting trolleys 2 are slidably mounted on the upward guide rails 11 and downward guide rails 12. Turning guide rails 13 are respectively provided between the beginning and end of the upward and downward guide rails 11 and 12, allowing the sorting trolleys 2 to rotate on the upward and downward guide rails 11 and 12 via the turning guide rails 13. The inlet conveyor module 3 is located at the beginning of the machine body 1, and the sorting trolleys 2 receive packages input by the inlet conveyor module 3, enabling the sorting trolleys 2 to transport the packages to designated locations.

[0019] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the sorting trolley 2 includes a sorting conveyor belt 21 and a trolley body 22. The sorting conveyor belt 21 is rotatably mounted on the trolley body 22. Guide wheel assemblies that slide and cooperate with the upward guide rail 11, the downward guide rail 12, and the turning guide rail 13 are provided on both sides of the trolley body 22.

[0020] The guide wheel assembly includes a first traveling wheel 231 and a second traveling wheel 232. The first traveling wheel 231 and the second traveling wheel 232 are arranged vertically and rotatably on the side wall of the vehicle body 22, so that the irregular parts are more stable on the sorting trolley and the conveying noise is reduced.

[0021] Furthermore, the side wall of the vehicle body 22 is provided with a transverse guide wheel 233 that slides with the machine body 1. The transverse guide wheel 233 ensures that the sorting cart 2 remains parallel to the side wall of the machine body 1 during the driving process, making the sorting cart 2 drive more smoothly.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the upward guide rail 11 and the downward guide rail 12 are preferably made of solid square steel in one piece. Compared with traditional guide rails, they are not affected by sheet metal bending processes and plate welding deformation, which would affect the flatness and straightness of the track and ensure the stability of high-speed operation. Furthermore, the upward guide rail 11 and the downward guide rail 12 are composed of several sections, and the ends of the upward guide rail 11 and the downward guide rail 12 are provided with inclined surfaces so that the adjacent ends of the upward guide rail 11 and the downward guide rail 12 are connected by the inclined surfaces. By adopting a stepless splicing method, it is not easy to produce obvious height differences during installation. Even if there is an obvious height difference between the upward guide rail 11 and the downward guide rail 12, it will not have a significant impact on the sorting trolley when it passes by, thus ensuring the smoothness of the guide rail.

[0023] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the turning guide rail 13 further includes several arc-shaped guide plates 131. The arc-shaped guide plates 131 are formed by laser cutting the shape of the turning guide rail using steel plates. Several arc-shaped guide plates 131 are then stacked and fixed by welding. The stacked arc-shaped guide plates 131 are then fixed to the machine body 1 by bolts. The ends of the arc-shaped guide plates 131 are respectively connected to the upward guide rail 11 and the downward guide rail 12.

[0024] The above-mentioned process can reduce manufacturing difficulty. At the same time, the trajectory of the turning guide rail 13 can smoothly transfer from the upward guide rail and the downward guide rail to the turning guide rail 13. Since the first traveling wheel 231 and the second traveling wheel 232 on the sorting trolley 2 wrap around the turning guide rail 13, the extremely small gap between the first traveling wheel 231 and the second traveling wheel 232 and the turning guide rail 13 will reduce the secondary impact of the first traveling wheel 231 and the second traveling wheel 232 on the turning guide rail 13 when the sorting trolley 2 turns the turning guide rail 13, thus extending the life of the turning guide rail. This structure also allows the sorting trolley to achieve high-speed sorting more safely and stably.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, an electric roller 221 is provided on one end of the vehicle body 22, and a redirecting roller 222 is rotatably provided on the other end. The sorting conveyor belt 21 is tensioned between the electric roller 221 and the redirecting roller 222. The electric roller 221 drives the sorting conveyor belt 21 to rotate. The surface of the sorting conveyor belt 21 is provided with a number of protrusions 211. In this embodiment, the number of protrusions 211 are preferably arranged in a square. The sorting conveyor belt 21 can select different protrusions according to the sorted products to avoid wrapping, sliding or rolling during the transportation process, thereby realizing the sorting of irregular parts.

[0026] A connecting rod 224 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the vehicle body 22. The connecting rod 224 is hinged to another vehicle body 22. In this embodiment, a linear motor stator 4 is fixedly installed on the machine body 1, and a linear motor mover 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sorting trolley 2. When the linear motor stator 4 is energized, it generates a magnetic field, causing the sorting trolley 2 to move linearly along the upward guide rail 11 or the downward guide rail 12 under the interaction of the magnetic field, thereby conveying the package through several sorting trolleys.

[0027] The vehicle body 22 is equipped with wiring terminals. The wiring terminals between each sorting cart 2 are connected in series by wires, and the electric roller on the sorting cart 2 is electrically connected to the wiring terminals. The first sorting cart 2 is equipped with a power module, which is electrically connected to the wiring terminals. The bottom of the sorting cart 2 is equipped with a sliding contact line moving end, which is electrically connected to the power module. The machine body is equipped with a sliding contact line fixed end 6 along the conveying direction. When the sorting cart 2 passes the sliding contact line fixed end, the sliding contact line moving end on the sorting cart 2 slides into contact with the sliding contact line fixed end, so that the sliding contact line fixed end continuously supplies power to the sorting cart 2, ensuring that the sorting cart 2 can move normally.

[0028] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the inlet conveying module 3 further includes a drive roller 31, a driven roller 32, a belt 33, and a conveyor frame 34. The driven rollers 32 are a pair and are rotatably disposed at the beginning and end of the conveyor frame 34, respectively. The drive roller 31 is rotatably disposed in the conveyor frame 34. The belt 33 is tensioned on the drive roller 31 and the driven roller 32. In this embodiment, the driven roller at the end of the conveyor frame 34 is located above the beginning of the machine body to avoid gaps between the inlet conveying module 3 and the machine body, which could cause packages to get stuck in the gaps. Preferably, the driven roller is a thin roller. This reduces the height difference between the belt 33 and the sorting cart 2, making the packages fed onto the sorting cart more smoothly. A support plate 35 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the conveyor frame 34 to support the surface of the belt 33, making the belt conveying more stable. A drive device is fixedly installed in the conveyor frame 34. In this embodiment, the drive device is preferably a servo motor, whose output shaft is connected to the drive roller 31 through a synchronous belt drive. Thus, the drive device drives the drive roller 31 to drive the belt 33 to rotate, feeding the packages one by one onto the sorting cart 2.

[0029] The conveyor frame 34 is equipped with a tensioning assembly 36 for adjusting the belt tension. The tensioning assembly 36 includes a tensioning roller. The side wall of the conveyor frame 34 is provided with a strip groove. The end of the tensioning roller is slidably engaged with the strip groove. The outer circumference of the tensioning roller abuts against the surface of the belt 33. An adjusting rod is threadedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor frame 34. The end of the adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the end of the tensioning roller. By rotating the adjusting rod, the horizontal movement of the tensioning roller can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the belt tension and ensuring the stability of the belt conveyor.

[0030] The end of the conveyor 34 is fixedly provided with a transition ramp 37 that connects to the belt 33, so that the packages on the belt 33 can be smoothly transferred to the sorting trolley 2, and the height difference between the belt 33 and the sorting trolley 2 can be avoided so that the packages can deviate or roll.

[0031] Of course, the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All modifications made in accordance with the spirit of the main technical solution of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
