Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging box sorting technology, specifically relating to an automatic packaging box specification sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] The technological background of sorting equipment can be traced back to mechanized sorting systems in the mid-20th century, initially using simple conveyor belts and manual assistance. With the application of photoelectric sensors, PLC control, and barcode recognition technology, sorting equipment gradually achieved automation by the end of the 20th century. In the 21st century, it has further integrated machine vision, AI algorithms, and robotics technology to achieve high-speed, high-precision intelligent sorting. Its development has progressed from basic mechanization to automation and then to intelligence, continuously breaking through the upper limits of sorting efficiency, accuracy, and flexible processing capabilities. Today, this type of equipment is widely used in logistics warehousing, postal express, food production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and e-commerce order processing, significantly improving the efficiency of goods classification, parcel delivery, and production line material management, becoming an indispensable core equipment for modern supply chains and industrial automation.

[0003] Existing sorting equipment generally suffers from insufficient adaptability when faced with packaging boxes of different sizes. Its fixed limiting structure is difficult to adjust flexibly to adapt to different sizes of boxes, which can easily lead to box jamming or displacement. In addition, traditional photoelectric sensors can only detect the presence or absence of objects but cannot accurately identify the specific specifications of the packaging boxes. This means that most equipment still needs to rely on manual judgment or preset programs for sorting operations. Utility Model Content

[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0026] Example

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides an automatic packaging box specification sorting device, including,

[0028] The transport mechanism 100 includes a support frame 101, casters 102 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 101, a base frame 103 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 101, a drive assembly 104 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 101, and a limiting assembly 105 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drive assembly 104.

[0029] The unloading mechanism 200 includes a support frame 201 disposed on the side of the transport mechanism 100, a support rod 202 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 201, a loading box 203 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 201, a transfer assembly 204 movably connected to the side wall of the support frame 101, and a sorting assembly 205 fixedly connected to the side wall of the transfer assembly 204.

[0030] The drive assembly 104 includes a transport frame 104a fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame 101, a drive motor 104b adapted to be installed on the side wall of the transport frame 104a, a transmission roller 104c fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 104b, and a transport belt 104d sleeved on the surface of the transmission roller 104c.

[0031] Specifically, the limiting component 105 includes a stand 105a fixedly connected to the side wall of the transport frame 104a, and a guide hopper 105b fixedly connected to the inner wall of the stand 105a. The limiting component 105 also includes a fixing frame 105c fixedly connected to the side wall of the transport frame 104a, an adjusting bolt 105d threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 105c, and a stop block 105e inserted into the inner wall of the fixing frame 105c.

[0032] The adjusting bolt 105d is used in conjunction with the abutment block 105e. When the adjusting bolt 105d is tightened, the bottom of the adjusting bolt 105d abuts against the abutment block 105e to ensure the fixation of the abutment block 105e. When the adjusting bolt 105d is loosened, the abutment block 105e can be pulled to adjust its position, ensuring the convenience of the device during use.

[0033] The transfer assembly 204 includes a transfer frame 204a movably connected to the surface of the support frame 101, and a base plate 204b fixedly connected to the top of the transfer frame 204a. The transfer assembly 204 also includes a support plate 204c fixedly connected to the side wall of the base plate 204b, and a transfer plate 204d fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 204c.

[0034] Furthermore, the support plate 204c is trapezoidal and is used in conjunction with the transfer plate 204d to make the transfer plate 204d inclined, ensuring that the packaging box can slide off the transfer plate 204d and ensuring sorting efficiency.

[0035] Preferably, the sorting assembly 205 includes a blocking cylinder 205a fixedly connected to the side wall of the transfer frame 204a, a baffle 205b fixedly connected to the output end of the blocking cylinder 205a, and an extension frame 205c fixedly connected to the side wall of the transfer frame 204a. The sorting assembly 205 also includes a push cylinder 205d adapted to be installed on the side wall of the extension frame 205c, a push plate 205e fixedly connected to the output end of the push cylinder 205d, and a sorting camera 205f fixedly connected to the side wall of the transfer frame 204a.

[0036] It should be noted that the sorting camera 205f uses the MotionCam-3D L model camera. The core advantage of the MotionCam-3DL is its excellent wide field of view coverage. It can still generate ultra-high resolution dense point clouds at a working distance of more than two meters. This means that a single camera can efficiently handle complex sorting tasks in large bins or wide working areas without the need for multiple cameras to be stitched together, thus simplifying system integration.

[0037] In use, the packaging box is placed on the guide hopper 105b, and the guide hopper 105b transfers the packaging box to the conveyor belt 104d. The drive motor 104b drives the transmission roller 104c to rotate, and the transmission roller 104c drives the conveyor belt 104d to move. The conveyor belt 104d moves the packaging box, and the stop block 105e ensures the direction of movement of the packaging box. The packaging box is moved to the transfer plate 204d by the conveyor belt 104d. Through the monitoring of the sorting camera 205f, according to the size of the packaging box, the blocking cylinder 205a and the pushing cylinder 205d are driven respectively. The pushing cylinder 205d drives the push plate 205e to move, pushing the packaging box of one size into a set of loading boxes 203. The blocking cylinder 205a retracts, driving the baffle 205b to move downward, removing the obstruction of the packaging box. The packaging box slides into another set of loading boxes 203 due to gravity.

[0038] In summary, efficient operation is achieved through the close cooperation between the transport mechanism 100 and the unloading mechanism 200. The conveyor belt 104d smoothly transports the packaging boxes under the drive of the motor. The guide hopper 105b and the adjustable stop block 105e ensure that the boxes move in the predetermined direction. After the boxes slide onto the inclined transfer plate 204d, the sorting camera 205f quickly scans and identifies the specifications and dimensions. Then, the control system commands the cylinder 205d and the blocking cylinder 205a to work together to push or slide boxes of different specifications into the corresponding collection area. The whole process does not require manual intervention, which greatly improves sorting efficiency and accuracy and is suitable for various logistics sorting scenarios.
