[0002] In existing technologies, efficient, accurate, and gentle parcel sorting is a core requirement in modern sorting centers such as express delivery and e-commerce warehousing. Automated sorting systems have replaced traditional manual sorting as the industry mainstream, with conveyor belt systems serving as the infrastructure for carrying and transporting parcels. To sort parcels by destination, type, or size to different branch lines or chutes, the transport direction of the parcels needs to be changed at specific locations on the conveyor belt. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple, low-cost, gentle, flexible, energy-efficient, and easy-to-maintain bottom mechanism for express parcel sorting. Summary of the Invention

When the conveyor belt transports express packages onto several roller mechanisms, the drive mechanism drives the roller mechanisms to rotate, causing the express packages to change their direction of movement.

[0004] Furthermore, the roller mechanism includes: The rotating sleeve has a first serration on its outer surface, which is connected to the drive mechanism. The rotating sleeve is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate. A fixed shaft is fixed inside a rotating sleeve. The roller is fixed on a fixed shaft and protrudes from the rotating sleeve; The drive mechanism drives the rotating sleeve to rotate through the first sawtooth, thereby driving the roller to rotate.

[0005] Furthermore, the rotating sleeve includes: a top sleeve, a middle sleeve, and a bottom sleeve; The top sleeve, middle sleeve, and bottom sleeve are connected sequentially from top to bottom.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0015] First, combine Figures 1-6 The present invention describes a sorting bottom mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used for convenient sorting of express delivery and has a wide range of applications.

[0016] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the sorting bottom mechanism of this utility model embodiment includes: a mounting plate 1, a plurality of rollers 23, a mechanism 2, and a driving mechanism 3.

[0017] Specifically, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting plate 1 is fixed between multiple external conveyor belts, and several roller 23 mechanisms 2 are rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 1, with the roller 23 mechanisms 2 arranged at uniform intervals; the driving mechanism 3 is connected to the roller 23 mechanisms 2 and drives the roller 23 mechanisms 2 to rotate; when the conveyor belt delivers express to the roller 23 mechanisms 2, the driving mechanism 3 drives the roller 23 mechanisms 2 to rotate, causing the express to change its direction of movement.

[0018] Specifically, multiple conveyor belts are arranged in a cross shape, and mounting plate 1 is fixed at the intersection of the cross. Taking four conveyor belts as an example, they are divided into a main conveyor belt, a left conveyor belt located to the left of the main conveyor belt and perpendicular to it, a right conveyor belt located to the right of the main conveyor belt and perpendicular to it, and a secondary conveyor belt located in a straight line with the main conveyor belt. Mounting plate 1 and roller mechanism 23 mounted on mounting plate 1 serve as sorting mechanisms to sort the express packages conveyed by the main conveyor belt to different branch conveyor belts. The main conveyor belt conveys express packages. When the package arrives at the roller mechanism 23, if the drive mechanism 3 drives the roller mechanism 23 to rotate to the left, the package will move to the left conveyor belt due to inertia and the action of the roller mechanism 23. If the drive mechanism 3 drives the roller mechanism 23 to rotate to the right, the package will move to the right conveyor belt due to inertia and the action of the roller mechanism 23. If the roller mechanism 23 remains stationary, the package will move to the right conveyor belt due to inertia, thus completing the sorting and conveying of the package. The direction adjustment is flexible and the energy consumption is low.

[0019] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-6As shown, in this embodiment, the roller 23 mechanism 2 includes: a rotating sleeve 21, the outer surface of which is provided with a ring of first serrations 24, the first serrations 24 being connected to the drive mechanism 3, and the rotating sleeve 21 being rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 1; a fixed shaft 22, which is fixed inside the rotating sleeve 21; and a roller 23, which is fixed on the fixed shaft 22 and protrudes from the rotating sleeve 21; the drive mechanism 3 drives the rotating sleeve 21 to rotate through the first serrations 24, thereby driving the roller 23 to rotate, and achieving rotational drive through gear meshing. The structure is simple, the cost is low, and it is easy to maintain.

[0020] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating sleeve 21 includes a top sleeve 211, a middle sleeve 212, and a bottom sleeve 213. The top sleeve 211, middle sleeve 212, and bottom sleeve 213 are connected sequentially from top to bottom and integrally formed. The top sleeve 211 is located above the mounting plate 1, the middle sleeve 212 is connected to the mounting plate 1, and the bottom sleeve 213 is located below the mounting plate 1. The outer diameters of the top sleeve 211, middle sleeve 212, and bottom sleeve 213 decrease sequentially from top to bottom, forming a multi-layered stepped shape, which facilitates the installation of the rotating sleeve 21. The fixed shaft 22 is fixed inside the top sleeve 211, and a ring of first serrations 24 is arranged around the bottom sleeve 213 to facilitate connection with the drive mechanism 3. Using a hollow sleeve can reduce material costs.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting plate 1 is provided with a receiving hole 11 for accommodating the rotating sleeve 21. The diameter of the receiving hole 11 is smaller than the outer diameter of the top sleeve 211 and larger than the outer diameter of the middle sleeve 212, ensuring that the rotating sleeve 21 will not fall off the mounting plate 1 and achieving the limiting of the rotating sleeve 21 from top to bottom.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the circumferential surface of the receiving hole 11 is provided with a pair of mounting grooves 12, which are arranged opposite to each other. The outer circumferential surface of the middle sleeve 212 is provided with a pair of limiting protrusions 214, which are respectively inserted into the pair of mounting grooves 12 to install the rotating sleeve 21 on the mounting plate 1.

[0023] Specifically, when installing the rotating sleeve 21, insert the rotating sleeve 21 from top to bottom into the receiving hole 11, while simultaneously inserting the pair of limiting protrusions 214 into the pair of mounting grooves 12. Then rotate the rotating sleeve 21 so that the pair of limiting protrusions 214 move away from the pair of mounting grooves 12, thus completing the installation of the rotating sleeve 21. When disassembling, rotate the rotating sleeve 21 so that the pair of limiting protrusions 214 align with the pair of mounting grooves 12, and then pull the rotating sleeve 21 out from bottom to top, thus completing the disassembly of the rotating sleeve 21. The mounting grooves 12 and the limiting protrusions 214 enable quick assembly and disassembly of the rotating sleeve 21. The limiting protrusions 214 and the stepped rotating sleeve 21 enable vertical upper and lower limits on the rotating sleeve 21.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 includes: a linear motion slide 31 and a meshing plate 32; the meshing plate 32 is disposed below the mounting plate 1, and the output end of the linear motion slide 31 is connected to the meshing plate 32, driving the meshing plate 32 to move linearly; the meshing plate 32 is provided with a plurality of second sawtooth strips 33, each of which corresponds to a plurality of roller 23 mechanisms 2, the second sawtooth of the second sawtooth strip 33 meshing with the first sawtooth 24, and the second sawtooth strip 33 being parallel to the driving direction of the linear motion slide 31; the linear motion slide 31 drives the meshing plate 32 to move, and through the second sawtooth and the first sawtooth 24, drives the rotating sleeve 21 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the roller 23; in this embodiment, the linear motion slide 31 can also be replaced by other driving mechanisms 3, such as cylinders; by driving the meshing plate 32 to move back and forth through the linear motion slide 31, the plurality of roller 23 mechanisms 2 are driven to rotate in two directions, thereby realizing the sorting of express delivery to different branch conveyor belts, with a simple and compact structure and convenient and fast driving.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, there is a pair of linear motion slides 31. The pair of linear motion slides 31 are fixed on the support frame 34 and are arranged in parallel relative to each other. The output ends of the pair of linear motion slides 31 are respectively connected to the two sides of the meshing plate 32, which can ensure stability and structural strength.

[0026] Working principle: When the external conveyor belt transports the express delivery to be sorted to the top of the roller 23, the linear motion slide 31 drives the meshing plate 32 to move linearly. The second sawtooth on the meshing plate 32 meshes with the first sawtooth 24 on the rotating sleeve 21, which drives the rotating sleeve 21 and the roller 23 fixed on the rotating sleeve 21 to rotate, thereby changing the direction of movement of the express delivery and moving the express delivery to different branch conveyor belts on the outside, thus realizing the sorting of the express delivery.

[0027] Above, refer to Figures 1-6The present invention describes a sorting bottom mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is simple in structure, low in cost, gentle in sorting, flexible in direction adjustment, low in energy consumption and easy to maintain.
