Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of logistics and conveying technology, and specifically relates to a sorting trolley and an automated sorting line. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and technological progress, material conveying in the process of sorting packages is gradually being upgraded to automation, realizing automatic package sorting.

[0003] In practical use, sorting machines sort multiple packages sequentially through identification, conveying, and classification positioning. To further ensure package safety and confirm the absence of lost items, weighing is typically performed at various stages of the logistics process. However, if the sorting machine directly conveys packages to the weighing equipment, the packages are prone to collisions with the equipment, potentially damaging it. If manual weighing is used instead, the labor intensity is high, and sorting efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sorting cart and an automated sorting line to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: This utility model discloses a sorting cart, comprising: A support structure having a conveying end connected to a drive mechanism, enabling the sorting trolley to move cyclically. An output mechanism, wherein the conveying direction of the output mechanism is tangent to the moving direction of the sorting trolley; An electromagnetic mechanism is connected to the support structure and is magnetically connected to the output mechanism. A lifting mechanism is connected to the supporting structure, and a weighing mechanism is connected to the output end of the lifting mechanism; The sorting trolley is configured such that when it is in weighing mode, the electromagnetic mechanism switches to a power-off state separated from the output mechanism, and the output end of the lifting mechanism drives the weighing mechanism to rise, so that the weighing mechanism lifts up and weighs the output mechanism and the packages on it; when the weighing mechanism has finished weighing, the sorting trolley switches to conveying mode, the lifting mechanism drives the weighing mechanism to fall down until it is separated from the output mechanism, and the electromagnetic mechanism is energized and magnetically connected to the output mechanism.

[0006] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: the output end of the support structure is connected to the drive mechanism, enabling the sorting trolley to move cyclically, sequentially receiving packages and moving them to the corresponding sorting positions. The conveying direction of the output mechanism is tangent to the moving direction of the sorting trolley, allowing the package output sorting positions to be arranged perpendicular to the moving direction of the sorting trolley, ensuring that the moving position of the sorting trolley and the output package position do not interfere with each other.

[0007] During the transport process, the sorting trolley receives packages. After receiving the packages, the sorting trolley can switch from the transport state to the weighing state. At this time, the electromagnetic mechanism is de-energized and releases the magnetic attraction between itself and the output mechanism. The output end of the lifting mechanism drives the weighing mechanism to rise, causing the weighing mechanism to lift the output mechanism and the packages on it. The weighing mechanism weighs the output mechanism and the packages. The sorting trolley can measure the weight of the output mechanism in advance for subtraction calculation or tare the weight of the output mechanism in advance to obtain the weight of the packages.

[0008] After weighing is completed, the lifting mechanism restarts and lowers the weighing mechanism, causing the output mechanism to descend and connect with the electromagnetic mechanism. The electromagnetic mechanism is energized, magnetically connecting with the output mechanism. The lifting mechanism continues to lower the weighing mechanism below the output mechanism, ensuring that the weighing and output mechanisms are not connected. At this point, the sorting trolley is in transport mode. When the sorting trolley moves to the corresponding sorting position via the drive mechanism, the output mechanism starts and outputs the package. The sorting trolley can cyclically move to the input package position, and the output mechanism receives another package. Since the weighing mechanism is located below the output mechanism and the two are not connected, the output mechanism, electromagnetic mechanism, and support structure absorb the impact force when the package is input, preventing damage to the weighing mechanism. Furthermore, no manual intervention is required during the sorting process, increasing the automation level of the sorting trolley and improving the efficiency of the sorting machine.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a guide is provided between the output mechanism and the support structure.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the guide component includes a guide shaft and a guide sleeve that are sleeved together. The upper end of the guide shaft is connected to the lower end of the output mechanism, and the guide sleeve is connected to the upper end of the support structure.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the inner side of the guide sleeve is provided with a positioning cavity for the guide shaft to pass through. The horizontal cross section of the positioning cavity corresponds to the horizontal cross section of the guide shaft. The sorting trolley is configured such that when it is in the conveying state, the guide shaft slides in the positioning cavity.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a limiting cavity is also provided on the inner side of the guide sleeve. The horizontal cross-section of the limiting cavity is larger than the horizontal cross-section of the positioning cavity. The limiting cavity is connected to the upper part of the positioning cavity. The sorting trolley is configured such that when it is in the weighing state, the guide shaft is disengaged from the positioning cavity and suspended in the limiting cavity.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the limiting cavity and the positioning cavity are connected in a conical shape.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the output mechanism is connected to a magnetic component, and the electromagnetic mechanism includes an electromagnet that is magnetically attracted to the magnetic component after being energized, with the electromagnet and the magnetic component facing each other vertically.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the output mechanism is a belt conveyor.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the output mechanism comprises a support frame, a rotating motor, and a receiving component. The support frame is connected to the magnetic component, the rotating motor is connected to the support frame, and the receiving component is connected to a shaft. Both ends of the shaft are rotatably connected to the support frame, and the output end of the rotating motor is driven by the shaft, causing the receiving component to rotate around the shaft as a rotation axis.

[0017] This utility model discloses an automated sorting line, including a track, a drive mechanism, and a sorting trolley as described in any of the above.

[0018] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: the drive mechanism drives the sorting trolley to move cyclically along the track, so that the sorting trolley receives packages in the conveying state, protects the weighing mechanism, weighs the packages in the weighing state, and then switches back to the conveying state to convey the packages to the corresponding sorting position. The output mechanism outputs the packages to the corresponding sorting position, and the sorting trolley in the conveying state returns to the receiving position to receive new packages to be sorted and weighed. This automates package sorting and weighing, improving sorting efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The following are some embodiments of the sorting cart and automated sorting line of this utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the sorting cart 100 of this utility model embodiment includes a support structure 200, an output mechanism 300, an electromagnetic mechanism 400, and a lifting mechanism 500.

[0028] Understandably, the support structure 200 has a conveying end for connecting to the drive mechanism 820, enabling the drive mechanism 820 to drive the sorting cart 100 to move cyclically. The sorting cart 100 can receive packages via an external upper conveying device and be driven by the drive mechanism 820 to sort them to the corresponding lower conveying device 900 or storage device.

[0029] It is understandable that the conveying direction of the output mechanism 300 is tangent to the moving direction of the sorting trolley 100, so that multiple lower conveying devices 900 or multiple storage devices can be arranged on the edge of the moving direction of the sorting trolley 100. The output mechanism 300 is used to receive packages. When the sorting trolley 100 moves to the corresponding position, the output mechanism 300 can be activated to transport the packages on it to the corresponding lower conveying device 900 or storage device on the side.

[0030] It is understandable that the electromagnetic mechanism 400 is connected to the support structure 200, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the two are relatively fixed. When energized, the electromagnetic mechanism 400 and the output mechanism 300 are magnetically connected, thus fixing the output mechanism 300 and the support structure 200 relative to each other. When de-energized, the electromagnetic mechanism 400 and the output mechanism 300 are separated, allowing the output mechanism 300 and the support structure 200 to move relative to each other.

[0031] It is understood that the lifting mechanism 500 is connected to the support structure 200, and the output end of the lifting mechanism 500 extends vertically and faces upwards, and is connected to the weighing mechanism 600 located below the output mechanism 300, such as... Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the weighing mechanism 600 is used to weigh the output mechanism 300 and the packages it receives.

[0032] With this configuration, the sorting cart 100 includes both conveying and weighing modes. Specifically, when the sorting cart 100 is in conveying mode, the lifting mechanism 500 lowers the weighing mechanism 600, preventing the weighing mechanism 600 from contacting the output mechanism 300. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the electromagnetic mechanism 400 is in an energized state, magnetically connected to the output mechanism 300. At this time, the sorting trolley 100 moves cyclically via the drive mechanism 820. When the sorting trolley 100 moves to a position opposite the upper conveyor, the upper conveyor transports packages to the sorting trolley 100, allowing the output mechanism 300 to stably receive the packages. Since the weighing mechanism 600 and the output mechanism 300 do not contact each other, the weight and impact forces generated when the weighing mechanism 600 receives the packages and is transported to the output mechanism 300 are avoided, preventing damage to the weighing mechanism 600 from excessive weight or impact from the packages. The sorting trolley 100 continues to transport packages along the direction of movement to the lower conveyor 900.

[0033] When the sorting trolley 100 is in the weighing state, the electromagnetic mechanism 400 is in a de-energized state, disconnected from the output mechanism 300. The lifting mechanism 500 is activated and drives the connected weighing mechanism 600 to move upward, causing the weighing mechanism 600 to lift the output mechanism 300. At this time, the output mechanism 300 is connected to the weighing mechanism 600 and receives support through the weighing mechanism 600. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the weighing mechanism 600 weighs the total weight of the output mechanism 300 and the package it carries. The sorting cart 100 only needs to weigh the output mechanism 300 separately in advance through the above steps. The sorting cart 100 can obtain the weight of the package by subtracting the weight of the output mechanism 300 from the total weight.

[0034] After the sorting trolley 100 completes the weighing, it switches to the conveying state. The lifting mechanism 500 starts again and drives the weighing mechanism 600 to move downward, so that the output mechanism 300 is supported by the electromagnetic mechanism 400 again. When the weighing mechanism 600 is lower than the electromagnetic mechanism 400, the lifting mechanism 500 stops, the electromagnetic mechanism 400 starts and magnetically connects to the output mechanism 300 again. The sorting trolley 100 can be moved to the corresponding lower conveying device 900 through the drive mechanism 820. At this time, the output mechanism 300 starts and outputs the package.

[0035] Understandably, each sorting cart 100 is equipped with a weighing mechanism 600, and through the cooperation of the electromagnetic mechanism 400 and the lifting mechanism 500, it can automatically switch between weighing and conveying modes, eliminating the need for manual weighing or placing of packages and improving sorting efficiency.

[0036] It is understandable that the output mechanism 300 of each sorting cart 100 has the same structure and components. Therefore, the weight of the output mechanism 300 on each sorting cart 100 is the same. The tare setting of each weighing mechanism 600 can be set in advance to remove the weight of the output mechanism 300 in advance, so that the weighing mechanism 600 can obtain the weight of the package without calculation.

[0037] It is understandable that a guide 700 is provided between the output mechanism 300 and the support mechanism, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the guide 700 is used to guide the lifting and lowering movement of the output mechanism 300, so as to avoid the sorting trolley 100 from shifting when it is in the weighing state, causing the output mechanism 300 and the package to fall off the weighing mechanism 600, or when switching from the weighing state to the conveying state, the magnetic attraction ends of the output mechanism 300 and the electromagnetic mechanism 400 do not correspond to each other, and the electromagnetic mechanism 400 cannot accurately magnetically connect to the output mechanism 300 after being energized, which may cause the output mechanism 300 and the package to fall during the conveying process, affecting the integrity of the items inside the package.

[0038] In some embodiments, the guide 700 can be a vertically arranged slide rail and a slide block, with the slide rail connected to the output mechanism 300 and the slide block connected to the support structure 200.

[0039] In this embodiment, the guide member 700 includes a guide shaft 710 and a guide sleeve 720 that are sleeved together, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. Specifically, the upper end of the guide shaft 710 is connected to the lower end of the output mechanism 300, and the guide sleeve 720 is connected to the upper end of the support structure 200. When the sorting trolley 100 is in the weighing or conveying state, the guide shaft 710 is always inserted inside the guide sleeve 720, and the two slide relative to each other to prevent the lifting and lowering of the output mechanism 300 from deviating.

[0040] Understandably, the inner side of the guide sleeve 720 is provided with a positioning cavity 721 for the guide shaft 710 to pass through, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the horizontal cross-section of the positioning cavity 721 is the same size as the horizontal cross-section of the guide shaft 710 and they correspond vertically. When the sorting trolley 100 is in the conveying state, the guide shaft 710 slides within the positioning cavity 721.

[0041] Furthermore, the inner side of the guide sleeve 720 is also provided with a limiting cavity 722, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the horizontal cross-section of the limiting cavity 722 is larger than the horizontal cross-section of the positioning cavity 721. The limiting cavity 722 is connected to the positioning cavity 721 and is located above the positioning cavity 721. When the sorting trolley 100 is in the weighing state, the guide shaft 710 connected to the output mechanism 300 moves upward away from the positioning cavity 721 and is located in the limiting cavity 722. Since the horizontal cross-section of the limiting cavity 722 is larger than the horizontal cross-section of the guide shaft 710, the guide shaft 710 is suspended in the limiting cavity 722, thus avoiding interference from the guide sleeve 720 and the guide shaft 710 being sleeved and connected by the weighing mechanism 600.

[0042] Furthermore, the limiting cavity 722 can restrict the offset position of the output mechanism 300 during the lifting and lowering process. Specifically, the guide shaft 710 is suspended in the limiting cavity 722, and the offset position of the output mechanism 300 is the horizontal movement position of the guide shaft 710 within the limiting cavity 722. Therefore, the limiting cavity 722 can also prevent the output mechanism 300 from deviating too much and falling off the weighing mechanism 600, so that the output mechanism 300 is stably lifted by the weighing mechanism 600 for weighing.

[0043] It is understood that the horizontal cross-section of the guide shaft 710 can be circular, triangular, or square, etc. In this embodiment, the horizontal cross-section of the guide shaft 710 is circular, and correspondingly, the horizontal cross-sections of the limiting cavity 722 and the positioning cavity 721 are coaxially arranged cylindrical cavities.

[0044] In this embodiment, two guide members 700 are provided and arranged at a distance perpendicular to the conveying direction of the sorting cart 100 on the support structure 200, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0045] In some embodiments, the limiting cavity 722 and the positioning cavity 721 may be connected in a stepped manner.

[0046] In this embodiment, the limiting cavity 722 and the positioning cavity 721 are connected in a conical shape, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the limiting cavity 722 is conical and narrows to the diameter of the positioning cavity 721. When the sorting trolley 100 switches from the weighing state to the conveying state, the guide shaft 710 suspended in the limiting cavity 722 can be guided downward along the conical connecting cavity into the positioning cavity 721. This avoids deviation when the guide shaft 710 moves downward, which would cause the lower end of the guide shaft 710 to hit the stepped wall of the limiting cavity 722 and the positioning cavity 721, preventing the guide shaft 710 from sliding into the positioning cavity 721 accurately and smoothly, and making it difficult for the sorting trolley 100 to be in the conveying state.

[0047] It is understandable that the output mechanism 300 is connected to a magnetic component 310, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 4and Figure 5 As shown. The electromagnetic mechanism 400 includes an electromagnet 410, such as... Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet 410 when energized is magnetically attracted to the magnetic field of the magnetic component 310 itself. The magnetic component 310 is located above the electromagnet 410, and the two are vertically aligned. Therefore, when the lifting mechanism 500 drives the weighing mechanism 600 to descend, the weighing mechanism 600 drives the output mechanism 300 to descend until its magnetic component 310 is vertically connected to the electromagnet 410 of the electromagnetic mechanism 400. When the electromagnet 410 is energized, it is stably magnetically attracted to the magnetic component 310, so that the electromagnetic mechanism 400 and the output mechanism 300 are stably connected, and the output mechanism 300 and the support structure 200 are relatively fixed.

[0048] In this embodiment, two electromagnetic mechanisms 400 are provided and arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the sorting cart 100 on the support structure 200, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0049] Furthermore, the support structure 200 also includes a connecting frame for supporting the output mechanism 300. The connecting frame is used to support the output mechanism 300 in the conveying state, reducing the gravitational force on the output mechanism 300 borne by the electromagnetic mechanism 400.

[0050] In some embodiments, the output mechanism 300 is a belt conveyor, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown. Specifically, the belt conveyor includes a base, a belt, and a drive motor. The output end of the drive motor is connected to two synchronous shafts and multiple synchronous pulleys. Two synchronous pulleys are connected to both ends of the synchronous shafts. The synchronous shafts are rotatably connected to the base, and the belt is wound around the multiple synchronous pulleys. The conveying direction of the belt is tangential to the moving direction of the sorting trolley 100. The magnetic component 310 and the guide shaft 710 are connected to the base.

[0051] In other embodiments, the output mechanism 300 comprises a support frame, a rotating motor, and a receiving component. Specifically, the support frame is connected to the magnetic component 310 and the guide shaft 710, and the rotating motor is connected to the support frame, fixing the two relatively. The receiving component and the support frame are rotatably connected via a shaft, and the output end of the rotating motor is connected to the shaft, causing the receiving component to rotate relative to the support frame about the shaft as its rotation axis.

[0052] Understandably, when the sorting trolley 100 is in weighing or conveying mode, the receiving component is horizontally positioned and parallel to the upper end of the support frame, with the package located on the receiving component. When the sorting trolley 100 moves to the lower conveying mode via the drive mechanism 820, the rotating motor starts, causing the receiving component to rotate upward relative to the support frame around the shaft, thereby causing the package to be flipped by the receiving component and fall onto the lower conveying device 900, completing the conveying and sorting process.

[0053] In this embodiment, the receiving component is a plate. The lifting mechanism 500 can be a lifting cylinder. The weighing mechanism 600 includes a weighing platform and a weighing sensor.

[0054] It is understandable that the shaft is located at one end of the support frame near the lower conveying device 900, and at the other end of the receiving component near the lower conveying device 900.

[0055] In some embodiments, after receiving a package, the sorting trolley 100 is scanned and transported by the drive mechanism 820 to the corresponding lower conveying device 900. At this time, the sorting trolley 100 switches from the conveying state to the weighing state. After weighing, it switches back to the conveying state and then starts the output mechanism 300 to output the package to the lower conveying state.

[0056] In other embodiments, after the sorting trolley 100 receives a package and steadily transports it to the corresponding lower conveyor 900, the sorting trolley 100 switches to a weighing state to weigh the package. After weighing, it switches back to a conveying state where the output mechanism 300 and the electromagnetic mechanism 400 are magnetically connected. Then, after arriving at the corresponding sorting mechanism, the output mechanism 300 is directly activated to complete the package sorting. This allows the package to be weighed during the transport process, saving weighing time and improving the sorting efficiency of the sorting trolley 100.

[0057] The automated sorting line 800 of this utility model embodiment includes a track 810, a drive mechanism 820, and multiple sorting carts 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, multiple sorting carts 100 are mounted on the track 810 and are all connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 820 so that they can be driven by the drive mechanism 820 to move cyclically along the track 810. The multiple sorting carts 100 sort multiple packages in sequence.

[0058] It is understandable that track 810 is a closed loop structure that extends horizontally and forms a continuous loop. Track 810 is a steel rail structure.

[0059] It is understood that the drive mechanism 820 consists of a circulating motor, sprockets, and a chain 821. Specifically, the circulating motor is connected to the track 810, multiple sprockets are provided and rotatably connected to the track 810, the chain 821 is wound around the multiple sprockets, the output end of the circulating motor is connected to a drive wheel, the drive wheel meshes with the chain 821, and the conveying end of the support structure 200 is connected to the chain 821, as shown below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. Thus, the chain 821 is driven by the circulating motor to move cyclically, thereby driving multiple sorting carts 100 to rotate cyclically on the track 810.

[0060] Understandably, the support structure 200 includes multiple limiting wheels 811, which are rotatably connected to the track 810 to limit the movement of the sorting trolley 100, such as... Figures 2 to 5 As shown.

[0061] Understandably, the track 810 is connected to a scanner that is wired to the drive mechanism 820. The scanner scans the package. When the drive mechanism 820 drives the sorting trolley 100 to move cyclically to the corresponding sorting position, the output mechanism 300 of the sorting trolley 100 is activated and the package is output to the conveyor 900.

[0062] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
