Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics equipment technology, and in particular to a warehousing and sorting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Warehouse sorting equipment is a core component of modern logistics systems, primarily used for the efficient and accurate classification and transport of goods. It is widely applied in e-commerce, express delivery, warehousing, and manufacturing industries. Its core function is to replace traditional manual sorting with automation technology, significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing error rates. Typical equipment includes cross-belt sorters, sliding block sorters, swing wheel sorters, and AGV robot sorting systems, adaptable to the handling needs of goods of different sizes, weights, and shapes. Sorting equipment typically integrates technologies such as barcode scanning, visual recognition, and RFID for intelligent identification, combined with PLC or computer control systems for path planning and automated sorting.

[0003] Currently used conveyor belt sorting equipment has the following drawbacks: After an item is identified by the camera, the subsequent conveyor belt is a single, continuous belt. As the item moves along the conveyor belt surface, a pushing mechanism pushes it into the corresponding collection box. However, due to the inertia of the item moving on the conveyor belt surface, heavier items may quickly pass over the pushing mechanism, leading to sorting errors. Secondly, items pushed off by the pushing mechanism fall directly into the collection box without any cushioning, making them prone to damage. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a warehouse sorting device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a warehousing and sorting equipment, including a base plate, a U-shaped frame fixed on one side of the upper surface of the base plate, multiple second conveyor belts horizontally and at equal intervals inside the U-shaped frame, a vision inspection mechanism fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate and on one side of the U-shaped frame, and a control cabinet installed on the upper surface of the base plate, a pushing component fixed on the top side of the U-shaped frame and on one side of each second conveyor belt, a blocking component installed between two adjacent second conveyor belts, a buffer component fixed on the outer wall of the U-shaped frame and on the side facing each pushing component, and a collection box placed on the upper surface of the base plate and below each buffer component.

[0006] Furthermore, the visual inspection mechanism includes a U-shaped groove fixed to the upper surface of the base plate, and a first conveyor belt is installed inside the U-shaped groove. A support frame is fixed to the top of the U-shaped groove, and a visual inspection camera is installed on the top of the support frame.

[0007] Furthermore, both the first conveyor belt and the several second conveyor belts are driven to rotate by a motor, and the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt rotate in the same direction.

[0008] Furthermore, the pushing assembly includes a side plate fixed to the top of the U-shaped frame, a first cylinder fixed in the middle of the side plate, and a push plate fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the push plate has an arc-shaped bend design at both ends.

[0010] Furthermore, the material blocking assembly includes a second cylinder fixed to the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame, and a baffle is fixed to the top telescopic end of the second cylinder, the baffle being located between two adjacent second conveyor belts.

[0011] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes two partitions fixed to the outer wall of the U-shaped frame, a plurality of buffer ropes fixed between the two partitions from top to bottom, and a vertical plate fixed to the side of the two partitions away from the U-shaped frame.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. In use, this utility model is a warehouse sorting equipment equipped with a U-shaped frame, a vision inspection mechanism, several second conveyor belts, several pushing components, and several blocking components. Gaps are provided between the several second conveyor belts, and the blocking components are respectively located in the gaps between the several second conveyor belts. When a target item passes over the corresponding conveyor belt, before the pushing component pushes the item, the baffle of the blocking component rises first to block the item, so as to prevent the item from entering the next conveyor belt due to inertia, thereby avoiding sorting errors.

[0014] 2. When this utility model is in use, the storage and sorting equipment is equipped with a buffer component. When the pusher component pushes the items off the second conveyor belt, the items fall onto the buffer component first. Several buffer ropes are used to prevent the items from falling, so that the items fall slowly into the collection box, thus protecting the items. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a warehousing and sorting device is disclosed, comprising a base plate 1, a U-shaped frame 2 fixed to one side of the upper surface of the base plate 1, multiple second conveyor belts 5 horizontally and at equal intervals inside the U-shaped frame 2, a vision inspection mechanism 3 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1 and located on one side of the U-shaped frame 2, and a control cabinet 4 installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1, a pushing component 6 fixedly installed on the top side of the U-shaped frame 2 and located on one side of each second conveyor belt 5, a blocking component 7 installed between two adjacent second conveyor belts 5, a buffer component 9 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the U-shaped frame 2 and on the side facing each pushing component 6, and a collection box 8 placed on the upper surface of the base plate 1 and below each buffer component 9.

[0023] The visual inspection mechanism 3 includes a U-shaped groove 31 fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 1, and a first conveyor belt 32 is installed inside the U-shaped groove 31. A support frame 33 is fixed to the top of the U-shaped groove 31, and a visual inspection camera 34 is installed on the top of the support frame 33.

[0024] In this embodiment, the visual inspection camera 34 adopts a CCD industrial camera, and its specific model is not limited. Its working principle is to acquire images of the sorted items through an optical lens, convert the light signal into an electrical signal by the CCD sensor, analyze the barcode, shape or color and other features by the processor, and output the recognition result to the control system to realize automated sorting, which is the same as the existing technology. The specific control method will not be described in detail.

[0025] The first conveyor belt 32 and several second conveyor belts 5 are all driven to rotate by a motor, and the first conveyor belt 32 and the second conveyor belts 5 rotate in the same direction.

[0026] The motor drives the corresponding first conveyor belt 32 and second conveyor belt 5 to rotate. When an item is placed on the surface of the first conveyor belt 32 and detected by the vision inspection camera 34, the rotating first conveyor belt 32 transports the item to the surface of the second conveyor belt 5, and the item then moves along the surfaces of multiple second conveyor belts 5.

[0027] The material pushing assembly 6 includes a side plate 61 fixed to the top of the U-shaped frame 2, a first cylinder 62 fixed in the middle of the side plate 61, and a push plate 63 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder 62.

[0028] In this embodiment, the operating principle of the pushing component 6 is the same as that of the prior art. When the corresponding item moves to the front of the corresponding pushing component 6, the first cylinder 62 extends and drives the push plate 63 to move. The push plate 63 pushes the item on the surface of the second conveyor belt 5 in front to the side of the collection box 8.

[0029] The push plate 63 has an arc-shaped bend at both ends.

[0030] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped design on both sides of the push plate 63 ensures that the push plate 63 will not scratch the items.

[0031] The material blocking assembly 7 includes a second cylinder 71 fixed to the inner bottom wall of the U-shaped frame 2. A baffle 72 is fixed to the top telescopic end of the second cylinder 71. The baffle 72 is located between two adjacent second conveyor belts 5.

[0032] When an item moves above the corresponding second conveyor belt 5, and before the pushing component 6 of the second conveyor belt 5 pushes the item, the second cylinder 71 first drives the baffle 72 to rise, using the baffle 72 to prevent the item from moving onto the next second conveyor belt 5, thereby ensuring that the pushing component 6 can accurately push the item away and avoid incorrect sorting.

[0033] The buffer assembly 9 includes two partitions 91 fixed to the outer wall of the U-shaped frame 2, a number of buffer ropes 92 fixed between the two partitions 91 from top to bottom, and a vertical plate 93 fixed to the side of the two partitions 91 away from the U-shaped frame 2.

[0034] When the pushing component 6 pushes the item off the surface of the corresponding second conveyor belt 5, the item will fall between the two corresponding partitions 91 and fall downwards under the obstruction of the vertical plate 93. Then, the item will slowly fall under the obstruction of the buffer rope 92 and finally fall into the collection box 8.

[0035] In this embodiment, the control cabinet 4 is the same as the existing technology, and the electronic components of the device are controlled by the control cabinet 4 to operate in a unified manner.

[0036] Working principle: When an item is placed on the surface of the first conveyor belt 32, the visual inspection camera 34 first identifies and detects the item, and then feeds the information back to the control cabinet 4. Subsequently, the first conveyor belt 32 rotates, transporting the item to the surface of the second conveyor belt 5. All the second conveyor belts 5 rotate continuously. When the item moves along the second conveyor belt 5 to the designated upper surface of the second conveyor belt 5, the corresponding baffle 72 rises under the drive of the second cylinder 71, preventing the item from entering the next second conveyor belt 5 surface. At the same time, the first cylinder 62 of the corresponding pushing component 6 extends, driving the pusher plate 63 to push the item off the surface of the second conveyor belt 5. The item falls between the two corresponding baffles 91, and the buffer rope 92 cushions the item, slowing down the falling speed and protecting the item.

[0037] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
