Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of sorting machines, specifically to a three-dimensional multi-compartment sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In modern logistics, postal express delivery, and e-commerce, automated sorting systems are core equipment for improving sorting efficiency and reducing labor costs. Among them, multi-compartment sorting machines are widely used because they can be set up with hundreds or even thousands of sorting destinations (compartments) to achieve high-precision and high-efficiency sorting operations.

[0003] Traditional multi-compartment sorting machines typically employ a wraparound layout, with sorting compartments arranged in multiple layers and columns around the sorting main unit, forming a massive three-dimensional matrix structure. While this structure significantly increases the number of compartments and enhances the sorting capacity of a single machine, its inherent design also leads to a very significant drawback: the overall equipment occupies a huge area, resulting in low space utilization.

[0004] To accommodate multiple layers of compartments arranged in a ring or U-shape, sorting machines require a large area of ​​floor space within the factory. Their footprint is typically proportional to the number of compartments; the more compartments, the larger the required area. This is a heavy burden for urban centers with high land costs or for older warehouses with limited space, and it directly limits the application scenarios for this equipment.

[0005] It should be noted that the above content falls within the scope of the inventor's technical knowledge. Due to the vast and complex nature of the technical content in this field, the above content of this application does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0007] 2. Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a three-dimensional multi-compartment sorting machine, including a material sorting structure, wherein a material conveying structure is provided in the middle of the material sorting structure, and the material conveying structure is slidably connected to the material sorting structure; The material sorting structure includes a support plate, mounting plates on both sides of the support plate, side supports on both sides of the mounting plates, and multiple side supports that are vertically distributed on both sides of the mounting plates. A connecting strip is provided at the bottom of each side support, and rollers are rotatably connected inside each side support.

[0008] Furthermore, guide grooves are provided in the middle and on both sides of the interior of the mounting plate, and a drive motor is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the mounting plate, with a transmission screw provided at the output end of the drive motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission screw is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate, and slide rods are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the mounting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the material conveying structure includes a lifting plate, a mating hole is provided in the middle of one side of the lifting plate, the mating hole is engaged with the transmission screw, two sliding holes are provided on one side of the lifting plate, the sliding holes are slidably connected to the sliding rod, and an auxiliary groove is provided inside the lifting plate, and a rolling shaft is rotatably connected inside the auxiliary groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a top strip is provided at the top of the lifting plate, and a rotating strip is rotatably connected to the inner side of the top strip. A chain drive device is provided between the rotating strip and the lifting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the rotating bar are provided with movable bars, and the inside of the movable bars is slidably connected with rollers, with a push rod provided between the two rollers.

[0013] 3. Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages: This invention utilizes side supports positioned at different locations and heights on both sides directly above the support plate.

[0020] See attached document Figure 1-3 A three-dimensional multi-compartment sorting machine includes a material sorting structure 1, a material conveying structure 2 is provided in the middle of the material sorting structure 1, and the material conveying structure 2 is slidably connected to the material sorting structure 1. Material sorting structure 1 includes a support plate 101, mounting plates 102 on both sides of the support plate 101, and side supports 107 on both sides of the mounting plates 102. Multiple side supports 107 are vertically distributed on both sides of the mounting plates 102. A connecting strip 108 is provided at the bottom of each side support 107. Rollers 109 are rotatably connected inside each side support 107. Guide grooves 103 are formed in the middle and on both sides of the mounting plate 102. A drive motor 104 is installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the 02. A transmission screw 105 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 104. The transmission screw 105 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate 102. Slide rods 106 are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the mounting plate 102. A roller 109 inside a side bracket 107 rotates to transport materials into the material conveying structure 2. Then, the drive motor 104 is started, and the drive motor 104 drives the transmission screw 105 to rotate. The transmission screw 105 drives the material conveying structure 2 to rise and fall as a whole.

[0021] Furthermore, the material conveying structure 2 includes a lifting plate 201. A mating hole 202 is provided in the middle of one side of the lifting plate 201, which engages with a transmission screw 105. Two sliding holes 203 are provided on one side of the lifting plate 201, which are slidably connected to a sliding rod 106. An auxiliary groove 204 is provided inside the lifting plate 201, and a rolling shaft 205 is rotatably connected inside the auxiliary groove 204. A top strip 206 is provided at the top of the lifting plate 201. A rotating bar 208 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the main bar 206. A chain drive device 207 is provided between the rotating bar 208 and the lifting plate 201. Moving bars 209 are provided at the top and bottom of the rotating bar 208. Rollers 210 are slidably connected inside the moving bars 209. A push rod 211 is provided between two rollers 210. Multiple side supports 107 are provided. Each side support 107 is provided with a roller 109 inside. The different rotation directions of the rollers 109 can convey materials in different directions. The lifting plate 201 slides on the inner wall of the guide groove 103, and then the transmission screw 105 drives the lifting plate 201 to rise and fall through the mating hole 202. The bottom of the material contacts the top of the rolling shaft 205. After the rolling shaft 205 moves and aligns with the rollers 109 at different positions, the motor drives the rolling shaft 205 to rotate. The rolling shaft 205 drives the material at the top of the rolling shaft 205 to the top of the rollers 109 at different positions. During the material movement, the motor is started, and the motor drives the moving bar 209 to rotate through the chain drive device 207, so that the moving bar 209 switches at the top of the lifting plate 201. Then the roller 210 rotates. The roller 210 is equipped with a drive device inside. The roller 210 rotates inside the moving bar 209, so that the roller 210 drives the push rod 211 to move. The push rod 211 is used to assist in pushing the material to move.

[0022] The sorting machine is equipped with sensors (such as photoelectric sensors or position sensors) to detect the position, size, and weight of materials, as well as the real-time height of the lifting plate 201. The control system precisely controls the operation of the drive motor 104, rollers 109, and chain drive device 207 based on the sensor data to achieve automated sorting.

[0023] Material identification systems (such as barcode scanners or RFID readers) can be integrated at the sorting machine inlet to read material destination information and feed it back to the control system to determine the target compartment and lifting height.

[0024] Material Input: Materials (such as packages or goods) enter the sorting machine via an external conveying system, initially positioned on rollers 109 on the side support 107 of the material sorting structure 1. The rollers 109 rotate via a motor, conveying the material to the lifting plate 201 of the material conveying structure 2. The bottom of the material contacts the rolling shaft 205 inside the lifting plate 201, which rotates to assist in the material's movement.

[0025] Material lifting: When materials need to be sorted to different height compartments, the drive motor 104 starts, driving the transmission screw 105 to rotate. The transmission screw 105 engages with the mating hole 202 on the lifting plate 201, while the lifting plate 201 slides along the slide rod 106 through the sliding hole 203, achieving vertical lifting of the lifting plate 201. The lifting plate 201 is guided within the guide groove 103 of the mounting plate 102 to ensure smooth movement.

[0026] Material alignment and transfer: When the lifting plate 201 is raised to the target height, its rolling shaft 205 aligns with the roller 109 inside the corresponding side bracket 107. At this time, the rolling shaft 205 and the roller 109 rotate simultaneously, transferring the material from the lifting plate 201 to the roller 109. The rotation direction of the roller 109 can be adjusted according to the sorting destination, enabling the material to be conveyed to the left or right.

[0027] Assisted material pushing: During material transfer, the chain drive device 207 is activated, driving the rotating bar 208 to rotate. The rollers 210 inside the moving bar 209 on the rotating bar 208 slide, and the rollers 210 push the material through the push rod 211, ensuring that the material smoothly and accurately enters the target compartment. The movement of the push rod 211 is adjustable, suitable for materials of different sizes.

[0028] Sorting complete: After being conveyed to the designated slot by roller 109, the material falls into the corresponding collection bag or conveyor line, completing the sorting process. The entire process is coordinated by a control system (such as a PLC or industrial computer), which automatically selects the target slot and lifting height based on material information (such as barcodes or RFID).

[0029] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
