Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics sorting technology, and in particular to a sorting device for e-commerce logistics. Background Technology
[0002] This places unprecedented demands on the efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of logistics sorting systems. In the core link of e-commerce logistics warehousing and distribution centers—parcel sorting—it is crucial to efficiently and accurately classify and distribute standard packaging boxes (usually using uniformly sized cardboard boxes) to different destinations (such as different addresses or different regions).
[0003] Traditional sorting devices, especially those involving directional changes (such as right-angle turns), generally suffer from technical bottlenecks that affect sorting efficiency and stability. A common operating procedure involves standardized packaging boxes being input via a main conveyor belt (such as a linear conveyor mechanism). Their destination address is determined by an identification system (such as scanning barcodes or QR codes). Based on the identification result, the box is then either sent onto the continued linear conveyor path or diverted to a lateral conveyor path (such as a right-angle conveyor mechanism) arranged at a right angle. This diversion from a linear path to a right-angle path typically employs a pusher device driven by a cylinder or electric cylinder.
[0004] However, existing sorting devices of this type, especially those that use push plates to complete straight-line to right-angle turns, have the following significant drawbacks: Risks of Box Misalignment and Tipping: When the pusher moves the box from a straight path to a right angle (90 degrees), the stress points on the box are often concentrated on the sides or edges. This lateral thrust, especially at high speeds, can easily cause the box to deflect, shift, or even tip over completely during the transfer due to uneven force distribution or changes in the box's center of gravity. This not only causes equipment downtime for troubleshooting but may also damage the goods inside. Therefore, a sorting device for e-commerce logistics is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.
[0006] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a sorting device for e-commerce logistics to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of the present invention provides a sorting device for e-commerce logistics, including a linear conveying mechanism and a right-angle conveying mechanism, wherein the right-angle conveying mechanism is provided on the side of the linear conveying mechanism, and a portion of the right-angle conveying mechanism is parallel to the linear conveying mechanism; Both the linear conveying mechanism and the right-angle conveying mechanism include a bracket, a side plate, and a drive motor. The top of the bracket is fixedly connected to the side plate, and the drive motor is installed on the outer side of the side plate. A linear conveyor belt is movably connected to the inner side of the side plate of the linear conveyor mechanism, and a right-angle conveyor belt is movably connected to the inner side of the side plate of the right-angle conveyor mechanism. An inner disc is fixedly connected to the corner of the side plate of the right-angle conveying mechanism; The linear conveyor mechanism has an identification station on its side, and the identification station includes an identification probe. An electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the side plate of the linear conveying mechanism, and a push plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinder. A first positioning frame is fixedly connected to the side of the side plate of the right-angle conveying mechanism, a servo motor is fixedly connected to the side of the side plate of the right-angle conveying mechanism, and a second positioning frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. Both the first and second positioning frames are bent, and several guide wheels are movably connected to the inner side of the transverse portion of the first and second positioning frames.
[0008] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, a gap of 10-20mm is left between the linear conveying mechanism and the right-angle conveying mechanism, and the inner plate is connected to the corresponding side plate by screws.
[0009] Using the above technical solution: This device is specifically designed for sorting in e-commerce logistics.
[0010] This device is used in the following scenarios: After products are packaged in standard boxes at a factory and labeled with address numbers, they are sorted and then output from different conveyor systems for transportation. The product packaging boxes here are all standard boxes of uniform size.
[0011] When this device is in operation: the carton is input through the end of the linear conveyor mechanism and then smoothly conveyed along the linear conveyor belt. After the carton reaches the identification station, the barcode on it is scanned by the identification probe. The identification probe, electric cylinder, and servo motor are all connected to the same control box. When the carton reaches the push plate, if it is at the same address, the push plate pushes out and pushes the carton onto the right-angle conveyor mechanism. The two sides of the carton are movably connected to the guide wheels of the first positioning frame and the second positioning frame. After stabilization, the servo motor rotates to release the carton, and the carton is conveyed away along the right-angle conveyor mechanism. At another address, the push plate does not push out, and the box moves along the linear conveyor mechanism to achieve the sorting of products at different addresses.
[0012] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the identification station is located in front of the electric cylinder, and the electric cylinder is installed horizontally.
[0013] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the output direction of the electric cylinder is towards the right-angle conveying mechanism, and the front of the electric cylinder corresponds to the position between the first positioning frame and the second positioning frame.
[0014] The core structure of this device consists of an electric cylinder, a push plate, a first positioning frame, a servo motor, a second positioning frame, and guide wheels. When the box is being moved, it may be pushed off course or fall off due to uneven force during pushing.
[0015] A first positioning frame and a second positioning frame are added in front of the push plate of the linear conveyor mechanism, located on the side plate of the right-angle conveyor mechanism. Guide wheels are installed inside the first positioning frame and the second positioning frame.
[0016] Structural details: The guide wheels are made of nylon or polyurethane (high wear resistance) to ensure that the box automatically centers when entering the positioning frame area.
[0017] Mechanism of action: As a dynamic guiding device, the guide wheels make slight contact with the sides of the box as it moves, eliminating lateral offset and keeping the box stably aligned before being pushed. During pushing, the guide wheels also provide slight resistance to prevent the box from tipping over due to sudden thrust.
[0018] Once the box is stable, the servo motor controls the second positioning frame to rotate, at which point the box can be smoothly transported away.
[0019] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the bending angle of the first positioning frame and the second positioning frame is 90 degrees, and the second positioning frame is rotatable.

[0021] Right-angle conveyor mechanism: A side plate is fixed at the top of the bracket, and a drive motor is installed on the outside of the side plate; a right-angle conveyor belt is set on the inside of the side plate; the inner disc is fixed at the corner of the side plate with screws to reduce steering friction; a first positioning frame (static bending frame) is fixed on the side of the side plate; a servo motor is installed on the side of the side plate, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to a second positioning frame (dynamic bending frame).
[0022] Cooperative positioning structure: Both the first and second positioning frames are bent at 90° and are set in parallel; multiple guide wheels (made of PE or polyurethane) are horizontally installed on the inner side of the two positioning frames; the spacing between the guide wheels is less than 10mm of the standard box width.
[0023] Identification and control system: The linear conveyor mechanism has an identification station on the side with a built-in identification probe; the identification probe, electric cylinder, and servo motor are all connected to the control box.
[0024] Preferably, of any of the above solutions, the first positioning frame and the second positioning frame are parallel to each other, the guide wheel is horizontally arranged, and the guide wheel is made of PE.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This e-commerce logistics sorting device adds a first positioning frame and a second positioning frame in front of the push plate of the linear conveyor mechanism, located on the side plate of the right-angle conveyor mechanism. Guide wheels are installed inside the first and second positioning frames. The guide wheels are made of nylon or polyurethane (high wear resistance) to ensure that the boxes are automatically centered when entering the positioning frame area.
[0026] Mechanism of action: As a dynamic guiding device, the guide wheels make slight contact with the sides of the box as it moves, eliminating lateral offset and keeping the box stably aligned before being pushed. During pushing, the guide wheels also provide slight resistance to prevent the box from tipping over due to sudden thrust.

A linear conveyor belt 6 is movably connected to the inner side of the side plate 4 of the linear conveyor mechanism 1, and a right-angle conveyor belt 7 is movably connected to the inner side of the side plate 4 of the right-angle conveyor mechanism 2. An inner disc 8 is fixedly connected to the corner of the side plate 4 of the right-angle conveying mechanism 2; A recognition station 9 is provided on the side of the linear conveyor mechanism 1, and the recognition station 9 includes a recognition probe 10; An electric cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the side plate 4 of the linear conveying mechanism 1, and a push plate 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinder 11.

[0034] Example 2: This device is specifically designed for sorting in e-commerce logistics.
[0035] This device is used in the following scenarios: After products are packaged in standard boxes at a factory and labeled with address numbers, they are sorted and then output from different conveyor systems for transportation. The product packaging boxes here are all standard boxes of uniform size.
[0036] When the device is in operation: the carton is input through the end of the linear conveyor mechanism 1 and then smoothly conveyed along the linear conveyor belt 6. After the carton reaches the identification station 9, the barcode on it is scanned by the identification probe 10. The identification probe 10, the electric cylinder 11, and the servo motor 14 are all connected to the same control box. When the carton reaches the push plate 12, if it is at the same address, the push plate 12 pushes out and pushes the carton onto the right-angle conveyor mechanism 2. The guide wheels 16 on both sides of the carton are movably connected to the first positioning frame 13 and the second positioning frame 15. After stabilization, the servo motor 14 rotates to release the carton, and the carton is conveyed away along the right-angle conveyor mechanism 2. At another address, the push plate 12 does not push out, and the box moves along the linear conveyor mechanism 1 to achieve the sorting of products at different addresses.
[0037] The device consists of the following components: a linear conveyor mechanism 1: a side plate 4 is fixed at the top of the support 3, and a drive motor 5 is installed on the outside of the side plate 4; a linear conveyor belt 6 is set on the inside of the side plate 4 for conveying standard boxes; an electric cylinder 11 is installed horizontally on the side of the side plate 4, and a push plate 12 is fixed at the output end of the electric cylinder 11.
[0038] Right-angle conveyor mechanism 2: The top of the bracket 3 is fixed with a side plate 4, and a drive motor 5 is installed on the outside of the side plate 4; a right-angle conveyor belt 7 is set on the inside of the side plate 4; the inner plate 8 is fixed with screws at the corner of the side plate 4 to reduce steering friction; the side of the side plate 4 is fixed with a first positioning frame 13 (static bending frame); a servo motor 14 is installed on the side of the side plate 4, and the output end of the servo motor 14 is connected to a second positioning frame 15 (dynamic bending frame).
[0039] Cooperative positioning structure: The first positioning frame 13 and the second positioning frame 15 are both bent at 90° and are set in parallel; multiple guide wheels 16 (made of PE or polyurethane) are horizontally installed on the inner side of the two positioning frames; the spacing between the guide wheels 16 is less than 10mm of the standard box width.
[0040] Identification and control system: The linear conveyor mechanism 1 has an identification station 9 on its side, with an internal identification probe 10; the identification probe 10, electric cylinder 11, and servo motor 14 are all connected to the control box.
[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Phase 1: Conveying and Positioning: The standard box enters from the end of the linear conveyor mechanism 1 and is transported by the linear conveyor belt 6. When the box passes the identification station 9, the identification probe 10 scans its surface barcode (address information) and transmits the signal to the control box.
[0042] Phase Two: Instruction Decision, the control box compares the address information: if sorting needs to be done to the right-angle conveyor 2, the electric cylinder 11 is started to be pre-positioned; if straight conveying is maintained, the electric cylinder 11 remains in the retracted state.
[0043] Phase 3: Guiding Constraint (Core Innovation Step) When the box to be sorted arrives in front of the electric cylinder 11: the two sides of the box contact the guide wheels 16 on the inner side of the first positioning frame 13 and the second positioning frame 15; the guide wheels 16 automatically correct the position of the box through rolling friction, eliminating lateral offset; the box enters the action area of the push plate 12 under the constraint of the guide wheels 16 and remains in a centered state.
[0044] Phase 4: Thrust transfer, electric cylinder 11 pushes push plate 12 to move horizontally: push plate 12 pushes the box across a 15mm gap; guide wheel 16 continuously contacts the side of the box to provide lateral restraint and prevent tipping; when the push plate 12 ends its stroke, the box is completely separated from the linear conveyor belt 6.
[0045] Phase 5: Steering release, servo motor 14 drives the second positioning frame 15 to rotate 90°: the first positioning frame 13 and the rotated second positioning frame 15 form a guide channel; the box slides along the guide wheel 16 into the right-angle conveyor belt 7; the right-angle conveyor belt 7 turns the box 90° and transports it downstream.
[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This e-commerce logistics sorting device adds a first positioning frame 13 and a second positioning frame 15 in front of the push plate 12 of the linear conveyor mechanism 1, located on the side plate 4 of the right-angle conveyor mechanism 2. Guide wheels 16 are installed inside the first positioning frame 13 and the second positioning frame 15. The guide wheels 16 are made of nylon or polyurethane material (high wear resistance) to ensure that the boxes are automatically centered when entering the positioning frame area.
[0047] Mechanism of action: As a dynamic guiding device, the guide wheel 16 makes slight contact with the side of the box when it moves, eliminating lateral offset and keeping the box stably aligned before being pushed. During the pushing process, the guide wheel 16 also provides slight resistance to prevent the box from tipping over due to sudden pushing force.
