Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart logistics technology, and in particular to a picking mechanism and outbound system. Background Technology
[0002] The existing picking mechanism includes a frame, a sorting assembly, and a blocking component. The sorting assembly includes sorting hoppers mounted on the frame, each with an outlet for goods to slide out. The blocking component is movably connected to the frame. When the blocking component is in a first position, multiple windows are connected to their corresponding outlets. When the blocking component has multiple windows, it simultaneously closes multiple outlets when in a second position. However, the opening degree of the outlets in this type of picking mechanism is limited, and the outlets cannot be fully opened, frequently causing goods to jam.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new picking mechanism and outbound system to improve the limited openness of exports, the inability to fully open exports, and the frequent occurrence of cargo jams during exports. Utility Model Content

[0017] As an optional embodiment, the shielding member includes a shielding member body and a reinforcing frame, the reinforcing frame surrounding the outer periphery of the shielding member body; and / or
[0018] The shielding element is made of a transparent material.
[0019] As an optional solution, the pickup mechanism further includes:
[0020] A reset structure is connected to both the shield and the frame, and the reset structure is configured to move the shield from a first position that opens the first outlet to a second position that blocks the first outlet.
[0021] Another objective of this invention is to provide an outbound system that can maximize the opening of the exit and reduce abnormal phenomena such as jams and congestion.

[0026] The second vibration mechanism is located in the buffer hopper.
[0027] As an optional solution, the lifting mechanism has a trigger element;
[0028] The buffer component includes a stopper, which, when the frame descends, stops the trigger, causing the blocking component to move from a second position blocking the first exit to a first position opening the first exit; and / or
[0029] The buffer component has a pressing member. When the frame rises, the pressing member is used to stop the trigger, so that the blocking component moves from a first position with the first outlet open to a second position with the first outlet blocked.

[0054] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the drawings, not all of them.
[0055] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0056] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0057] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0058] like Figures 1-2 As shown in the figure, this disclosure presents an outbound system 1000, which includes a picking mechanism 100, a traveling mechanism (not shown), and a workstation 200. The picking mechanism 100 is vertically and vertically connected to the traveling mechanism. The workstation 200 is disposed on the ground and is used to pack sorted goods (not shown). The traveling mechanism is movably disposed on the ground and moves horizontally between positions near and away from the workstation 200.
[0059] like Figures 1-2As shown, during the retrieval process, the traveling mechanism moves the retrieval mechanism 100 horizontally to the vicinity of the shelf (not shown in the figure). The retrieval mechanism 100 then moves vertically to ensure that it is aligned with the goods to be retrieved. After the retrieval mechanism 100 removes the goods from the shelf and places them inside, the traveling mechanism again moves the retrieval mechanism 100 to the vicinity of the workstation 200, so that the retrieval mechanism 100 can transport the goods to the workstation 200.
[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the picking mechanism 100 of this application embodiment includes a frame 20, a picking device 80, and a sorting assembly 10. The frame 20 is vertically and vertically connected to the traveling mechanism, the picking device 80 is movably connected to the frame 20, and the sorting assembly 10 is connected to the frame 20. The sorting assembly 10 includes a plurality of sorting hoppers 11, wherein the picking device 80 is used to remove goods located on the shelf and transport the goods to any one of the plurality of sorting hoppers 11.
[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the picking mechanism 100 picks up goods, the picking device 80 picks up the first target goods and transfers them to one of the sorting hoppers 11. Then, the picking device 80 continues to pick up the second target goods. If the second target goods are very close to the first target goods, the picking device 80 only needs to move relative to the frame 20 to pick up the second target goods, without needing to move the traveling mechanism and / or raise / lower the frame 20. The second target goods are then transferred to one of the remaining empty sorting hoppers 11. When all sorting hoppers 11 are filled with goods, the traveling mechanism is driven back to transfer all the goods in the picking mechanism 100 to the workstation 200.
[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the picker 80 can move relative to the frame 20, and the sorting assembly 10 includes a plurality of sorting hoppers 11 for holding goods. By making a small movement of the picker 80 relative to the sorting assembly 10, the picker 80 can take out a plurality of goods and put them into a plurality of sorting hoppers 11 respectively, thus significantly improving the picking efficiency of the picking mechanism 100.
[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, workstation 200 includes a buffer assembly 210, a lifting conveyor belt 220, a buffer conveyor belt 230, a packing machine 240, a recycling mechanism 250, and a weighing conveyor 260. The buffer assembly 210 includes a frame 213 and multiple buffer hoppers 211 mounted thereon. When the picking mechanism 100 docks with the buffer assembly 210, the goods in the sorting assembly 10 are transferred to the buffer assembly 210. Each buffer hopper 211 corresponds to one order. According to the work sequence, the lifting conveyor belt 220 docks with the buffer hoppers 211 one by one and transfers the goods corresponding to the orders to the buffer conveyor belt 230. The buffer conveyor belt 230 sends the goods into the packing machine 240 according to the status of the packing machine 240 to complete the packing. The package then falls onto the weighing conveyor 260, where the weighing machine verifies whether there are any problems with the order. If there are no problems, the package is transferred out of the warehouse; if there are problems, it is transported to the recycling mechanism 250.
[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the buffer hopper 211 includes an inlet 2111 and a second outlet 2112. The buffer assembly 210 includes a door panel assembly 216, which is disposed at the second outlet 2112. The door panel assembly 216 can switch between an open position where the second outlet 2112 is open and a blocked position where the second outlet 2112 is blocked. When the door panel assembly 216 is in the open position, the lifting belt conveyor 220 can receive the goods that slide out of the second outlet 2112.
[0065] In the existing picking mechanism 100, each sorting hopper 11 has a first outlet 111 for goods to slide out. The sorting assembly 10 also includes a blocking member, which is movably connected to the frame 20. The blocking member has multiple windows. When the blocking member is in the first position, the multiple windows are connected to the corresponding first outlet 111. When the blocking member is in the second position, the blocking member simultaneously closes multiple first outlets 111. However, the opening degree of the first outlet 111 of this picking mechanism 100 is limited, and the first outlet 111 cannot be fully opened, causing frequent jamming of goods.
[0066] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 2-5As shown, the picking mechanism 100 includes a frame 20, a sorting component 10, a track 30, a lifting mechanism 40, and a blocking component 50. The sorting component 10 includes a sorting hopper 11, which is mounted on the frame 20 and has a first outlet 111. The track 30 is mounted on the frame 20 and inclined downwards. The lifting mechanism 40 is located at the first outlet 111 and can slide vertically relative to the frame 20. The blocking component 50 includes a blocking member 51, one end of which is rotatably connected to the lifting mechanism 40, and the other end of which is slidably connected to the track 30. When the lifting mechanism 40 moves upwards relative to the frame 20, it causes one end of the blocking member 51 to rise. Simultaneously, restricted by the track 30, the other end of the blocking member 51 can only slide along the track 30. Thus, the blocking member 51 flips over, opening the first outlet 111. The lifting mechanism 40 moves downward relative to the frame 20, causing one end of the blocking member 51 to descend. Simultaneously, restricted by the track 30, the other end of the blocking member 51 can only slide along the track 30. Thus, the blocking member 51 flips over, blocking the first exit 111. This simple and space-saving picking mechanism 100 effectively opens or blocks the first exit 111. This picking mechanism 100 allows for maximum opening of the first exit 111, reducing the occurrence of jams, congestion, and other abnormalities, making it suitable for larger order volumes.
[0067] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the picking mechanism 100 also includes a first vibration mechanism 70, which is disposed in the sorting hopper 11. Under the vibration action of the first vibration mechanism 70, the outflow of goods in the sorting hopper 11 can be further promoted, thus facilitating the flow of goods. For example, the first vibration mechanism 70 can be a vibration motor, vibrator, etc. All structures capable of vibration are within the protection scope of this application. For other structures of the first vibration mechanism 70, refer to mature products in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0068] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, at least two sorting hoppers 11 are provided, and the at least two sorting hoppers 11 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. Each sorting hopper 11 is provided with a set of shielding components 50. The lifting mechanism 40 moves upward relative to the frame 20. The lifting mechanism 40 can open the shielding components 50 corresponding to at least two sorting hoppers 11 at the same time. The goods in the first outlet 111 of at least two sorting hoppers 11 are transferred to the corresponding buffer hopper 211 by gravity, which can realize the synchronous and rapid transfer of goods in at least two sorting hoppers 11 to the corresponding buffer hopper 211.
[0069] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the lifting mechanism 40 includes a crossbeam 41 and two longitudinal beams 42. The two longitudinal beams 42 are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction. The two longitudinal beams 42 are located on both sides of the crossbeam 41 and are fixedly connected to the crossbeam 41 respectively, which can ensure the high strength and hardness of the lifting mechanism 40, thereby ensuring the good support effect of the lifting mechanism 40 on the shielding member 51.
[0070] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at least two crossbeams 41 and two longitudinal beams 42 together form at least two openings 44, each opening 44 corresponding to a first outlet 111. When the opening 44 is directly opposite the corresponding first outlet 111, the goods in the sorting hopper 11 can be sequentially input into the inlet 2111 of the buffer hopper 211 through the first outlet 111 and the opening 44.
[0071] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figures 2-7 As shown, the blocking component 51 includes a blocking component body 511 and a plug-in portion 513 disposed thereon. A guide groove 31 extending along the length direction is provided on the track 30. The plug-in portion 513 is inserted into the guide groove 31 and can slide along the guide groove 31. The plug-in portion 513 cooperates with the guide groove 31, which enables the blocking component 51 to slide well along the length direction of the track 30, thereby realizing the precise opening and closing of the blocking component 50.
[0072] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are two plug-in parts 513. The two plug-in parts 513 are located on both sides of the width direction of the shielding body 511, which can further ensure the better sliding effect of the shielding part 51 along the track 30 and avoid the shielding part 51 from rotating during the sliding process and causing jamming.
[0073] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the shielding assembly 50 also includes a roller mechanism 52, which is rotatably connected to the insertion part 513. The roller mechanism 52 is inserted into the guide groove 31 and can roll along the guide groove 31, which can prevent the insertion part 513 from getting stuck during the sliding process of the guide groove 31, and further ensure the smooth movement of the shielding member 51 in the guide groove 31.
[0074] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the shielding member 51 includes a reinforcing frame 512, which surrounds the outer periphery of the shielding member body 511. The reinforcing frame 512 ensures good strength and hardness of the shielding member 51, guarantees a long service life, and prevents damage during use. For example, the reinforcing frame 512 can be made of metal or plastic. The reinforcing frame 512 is made of a relatively hard material to ensure high strength and hardness of the shielding member 51.
[0075] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the shielding member 51 is made of a transparent material, allowing the operator to better observe the goods inside the sorting hopper 11. For example, the shielding member 51 can be made of materials such as glass, transparent plastic, or transparent nylon. All transparent materials are within the scope of protection of this application. For other transparent materials, refer to mature products in the prior art; this application will not elaborate further.
[0076] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lifting mechanism 40 has its own weight. When not subjected to external force, the lifting mechanism 40 can move downward relative to the frame 20 by its own weight. The lifting mechanism 40 drives one end of the blocking member 51 to descend. At the same time, restricted by the track 30, the other end of the blocking member 51 can only slide along the track 30. Thus, the blocking member 51 flips over to block the first outlet 111.
[0077] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the picking mechanism 100 also includes a reset structure 60, which is connected to the blocking member 51 and the frame 20 respectively. The reset structure 60 is configured to move the blocking member 51 from a first position with the first outlet 111 open to a second position with the first outlet 111 blocked. By setting the reset structure 60, it can be ensured that the blocking member 51 remains in the second position during the picking process, preventing the goods in the sorting assembly 10 from slipping out due to the blocking member 51 accidentally opening the first outlet 111 of the sorting hopper 11.
[0078] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the reset structure 60 can be a tension spring, a coil spring, a gas spring, a rubber spring, etc. All structures that can achieve the reset of the blocking member 51 are within the protection scope of this application. For other structures of the blocking member 51, refer to mature products in the prior art. This application will not elaborate on them further.
[0079] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 7As shown, the shielding assembly 50 also includes a hinge 53, which includes a first hinge portion 531 and a second hinge portion 532. The first hinge portion 531 is fixedly connected to the shielding member 51, and the second hinge portion 532 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 41. The hinge 53 ensures that one end of the shielding member 51 and the lifting mechanism 40 have a good rotation effect.
[0080] In an optional embodiment, one of the shielding component 50 and the crossbeam 41 is provided with a horizontally oriented rotating shaft, and one of them is provided with a plug hole. The rotating shaft is plugged into the plug hole and can rotate relative to the plug hole. Through the cooperation between the rotating shaft and the plug hole, the rotation of the shielding component 50 relative to the lifting mechanism 40 can also be realized.
[0081] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the lifting mechanism 40 has a trigger 43, and the buffer assembly 210 has a stop 214. When the frame 20 descends, the stop 214 stops the trigger 43, causing the blocking assembly 50 to move from a second position blocking the first outlet 111 to a first position opening the first outlet 111. When the traveling mechanism drives the picking mechanism 100 to the vicinity of the workstation 200, the trigger 43 is located above the stop 214. The stop 214 and the trigger 43 have overlapping first projections on a target plane. When the frame 20 drives the picking mechanism 100 to descend, the stop 214 stops the trigger 43, causing the blocking assembly 51 to move from the second position to the first position. Thus, by setting the stop 214 and the trigger 43, when the frame 20 descends, the blocking assembly 51 can automatically open the first outlet 111 of the sorting hopper 11, thereby allowing the goods in the sorting hopper 11 to slide down to the workstation 200.
[0082] After all the goods in the sorting hopper 11 have slid into the workstation 200, the traveling mechanism will drive the picking mechanism 100 to perform the next picking action. Under normal circumstances, after the trigger 43 leaves the abutment 214, the blocking member 51 will move from the first position to the second position under the action of its own weight and / or the elastic force of the reset structure 60. However, under abnormal circumstances, such as when the blocking member 51 does not slide smoothly relative to the frame 20, the blocking member 51 is prone to jamming and cannot move to the second position under the action of gravity and / or elastic force, causing the first outlet 111 of the sorting hopper 11 to remain open. If a picking action is performed at this time, the goods will slide out from the first outlet 111 of the sorting hopper 11.
[0083] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the buffer component 210 has a pressing member 215. When the frame 20 rises, the pressing member 215 is used to stop the trigger member 43 so that the blocking component 50 moves from the first position of opening the first outlet 111 to the second position of blocking the first outlet 111. By setting the pressing member 215, it is possible to avoid the blocking component 51 from failing to reset to the second position due to abnormal conditions, thereby ensuring that the next picking operation is carried out normally.
[0084] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the buffer hopper 211 includes an inlet 2111 and a second outlet 2112. The first outlet 111 and the inlet 2111 are arranged in the front-back direction (i.e., the first direction), and the inlet 2111 and the second outlet 2112 are arranged in the front-back direction. This arrangement of the picking mechanism 100 and the workstation 200 can effectively reduce the space occupied by the outbound system 1000 in the left-right direction, and can arrange more sets of outbound systems 1000 in the left-right direction.
[0085] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the buffer component 210 also includes a second vibration mechanism 212, which is disposed in the buffer hopper 211. Under the vibration action of the second vibration mechanism 212, the outflow of goods in the buffer hopper 211 can be further promoted, thereby facilitating the flow of goods. For example, the second vibration mechanism 212 can be a vibration motor, vibrator, etc. All structures capable of vibration are within the protection scope of this application. For other structures of the second vibration mechanism 212, refer to mature products in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0086] For ease of understanding, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5-8 The working principle of the outbound system 1000 is explained below:
[0087] like Figures 1-2 As shown, during the retrieval process, the traveling mechanism moves the retrieval mechanism 100 horizontally to the vicinity of the shelf. The retrieval mechanism 100 then moves vertically to ensure it is aligned with the goods to be retrieved. After the retrieval mechanism 100 removes the goods from the shelf and places them inside, the traveling mechanism again moves the retrieval mechanism 100 to the vicinity of the workstation 200, allowing it to transport the goods to the workstation 200.
[0088] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the trigger 43 is moved above the abutment 214, and the traveling mechanism drives the frame 20 to move downward. The trigger 43 abuts against the upper end of the abutment 214. The frame 20 continues to move downward relative to the lifting mechanism 40, that is, the lifting mechanism 40 moves upward relative to the frame 20. The lifting mechanism 40 drives one end of the blocking member 51 to rise. At the same time, restricted by the track 30, the other end of the blocking member 51 can only slide along the track 30. Thus, the blocking member 51 flips to open the first outlet 111, and the goods in the sorting hopper 11 can enter the buffer hopper 211 through the first outlet 111 and the inlet 2111 of the buffer hopper 211.
[0089] like Figure 3 As shown, when the picking mechanism 100 completes the transfer of goods to the buffer component 210, the walking mechanism drives the picking mechanism 100 to leave the workstation 200. Under the action of the reset structure 60, the lifting mechanism 40 moves downward relative to the frame 20 and drives one end of the blocking member 51 to descend. At the same time, restricted by the track 30, the other end of the blocking member 51 can only slide along the track 30. Thus, the blocking member 51 flips over to block the first exit 111.
[0090] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each buffer hopper 211 corresponds to one order. Following the work sequence, the lifting conveyor belt 220 connects to each buffer hopper 211 one by one and transfers the goods corresponding to the order to the buffer conveyor belt 230. The buffer conveyor belt 230 sends the goods to the packing machine 240 based on its status to complete the packing. The package then falls onto the weighing conveyor 260, where the weighing machine verifies the order for any issues. If there are no issues, the package is transferred out of the warehouse; otherwise, it is transported to the recycling mechanism 250.
