Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of express logistics, and in particular to a device for separating stacked express parcels. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous progress of the logistics industry, the express delivery industry is becoming more and more sophisticated. With the rapid development of the express delivery industry, the degree of automation in express sorting is constantly improving. However, during the express delivery process, especially in the loading or centralized stacking stage, multiple express packages often overlap, stick together, or are pressed together. Existing express delivery conveying devices have certain drawbacks. First, ordinary express delivery conveying devices often result in multiple express packages overlapping, sticking together, or being pressed together during transmission, which seriously affects the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent sorting, identification, barcode scanning, weighing, and other processes, thus reducing the separation effect of express delivery. To address this, we propose an express package stacking separation device. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a parcel stacking separation device. By setting up an upper 3D binocular camera and a first inclined conveyor belt assembly, the upper 3D binocular camera can make monitoring more convenient. During the separation process, the 3D binocular camera can record the movement status of the packages on each inclined conveyor belt in real time, which helps to determine whether the separation action has been completed. If abnormalities such as jamming or slippage occur during monitoring, the speed can be quickly adjusted or an alarm can be triggered, thereby improving the separation effect of the parcel stacking separation device.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A parcel stacking and separating device includes a horizontal conveyor platform, a first inclined conveyor belt assembly, and a controller. A receiving frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the horizontal conveyor platform, and a detection frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the receiving frame. A 3D binocular camera is installed below the detection frame, and the 3D binocular camera is communicatively connected to the controller. The rear end of the horizontal conveyor platform is connected to the first inclined conveyor belt assembly, and a second support is installed at the outer end of the first inclined conveyor belt assembly. A transparent baffle is installed at a position corresponding to the edge of the first inclined conveyor belt assembly on the second support. The inclination angle of the conveyor belt in the first inclined conveyor belt assembly is 25 to 40 degrees.

[0005] Preferably, a second inclined conveyor belt assembly is connected to the rear of the first inclined conveyor belt assembly; the inclination angle of the second inclined conveyor belt assembly is greater than the inclination angle of the first inclined conveyor belt assembly.

[0006] Preferably, both the first inclined conveyor belt assembly and the second inclined conveyor belt assembly include servo motors, and the servo motors are communicatively connected to the controller.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting frame is connected to the rear of the horizontal conveying platform, and a top frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting frame.

[0008] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the outer end of the testing frame, a lead screw is installed at the transmission end of the motor, a lead screw nut is fitted to the outer end of the lead screw, an automatic push rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lead screw nut, an installation plate is installed at the bottom end of the automatic push rod, a 3D binocular camera is installed at the bottom end of the installation plate, and a support is installed at the bottom end of the horizontal conveying platform; a guide groove is opened at the inner end of the testing frame.

[0009] Preferably, a support three is installed at the outer end of the second inclined conveyor belt assembly, and a transparent baffle is installed at the position corresponding to the edge of the second inclined conveyor belt assembly.

[0010] Preferably, a third inclined conveyor belt assembly is connected to the rear of the second inclined conveyor belt assembly, and a support four is fixedly connected to the outer end of the third inclined conveyor belt assembly.

[0011] Preferably, a horizontal conveyor is connected to the rear of the third inclined conveyor belt assembly, and a side 3D binocular camera is mounted on the side of the horizontal conveyor, which is communicatively connected to the controller; a guide plate is mounted at the rear end of the horizontal conveyor.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: (1) By setting up a 3D binocular camera and a first inclined conveyor belt assembly, when the device is in use, before the express delivery is separated, the express is located at the top of the horizontal conveyor platform. The horizontal conveyor platform is equipped with a 3D binocular camera. The 3D binocular camera performs three-dimensional modeling of the stacked express packages, which can accurately obtain the spatial position, size and thickness information of the express packages. This helps to identify whether there are multiple express packages stacked, tilted or overlapping. When the stacked express packages move from the horizontal conveyor platform to the first inclined conveyor assembly, the stacked packages slide down under the action of the tilt angle to achieve separation. (2) By setting up a first inclined conveyor belt assembly and a second inclined conveyor belt assembly, the first inclined conveyor belt assembly and the second inclined conveyor belt assembly cooperate to move the stacked express packages downwards in a staggered manner. Through the coordination of different angles and speeds at each level, the express packages that were originally attached gradually slide and separate in different platforms. The probability of stacked packages being separated is greatly increased by the multiple inclined conveyor belt assemblies. Attached Figure Description

A transparent baffle (not shown in the figure) is installed on the support 2 17 at the corresponding position of the edge of the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16.

[0019] like Figure 2As shown, a second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18 is connected to the rear of the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16; the inclination angle of the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18 is greater than the inclination angle of the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16 is 30 degrees, and the inclination angle of the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18 is 35 degrees.

[0020] Both the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16 and the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18 contain servo motors, which are communicatively connected to the controller.

[0021] like Figure 5 As shown, a motor 5 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the testing frame 4. A lead screw 6 is installed on the transmission end of the motor 5. A lead screw nut 7 is fitted to the outer end of the lead screw 6. An automatic push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lead screw nut 7. An installation plate 8 is installed at the bottom end of the automatic push rod 9. A 3D binocular camera 10 is installed at the bottom end of the installation plate 8. A support 2 is installed at the bottom end of the horizontal conveying platform 1. A guide groove 11 is opened at the inner end of the testing frame 4.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a connecting frame 12 is connected to the rear of the horizontal conveying platform 1, and a top frame 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting frame 12.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, a third inclined conveyor belt assembly 20 is connected to the rear of the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18. A support 4 21 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the third inclined conveyor belt assembly 20. A transparent baffle (not shown in the figure) is installed at the corresponding position of the support 4 21 and the edge of the third inclined conveyor belt assembly 20.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, a horizontal conveyor device 22 is connected to the rear of the third inclined conveyor belt assembly 20. A side 3D binocular camera 14 is installed on the side of the horizontal conveyor device 22, and a guide plate 15 is installed at the rear end of the horizontal conveyor device 22.

[0025] By installing a horizontal conveyor platform 1 in conjunction with a 3D binocular camera 10, the 3D binocular camera 10, in conjunction with the screw nut 7 and the automatic push rod 9, can be adjusted laterally or at a distance from the separated express packages, making monitoring by the 3D binocular camera 10 more convenient. The 3D binocular camera 10 can perform three-dimensional modeling of the stacked express packages, accurately obtaining the spatial position, size, and thickness information of the express packages. A side 3D binocular camera 14 is installed on the side of the horizontal conveyor device 22 to transmit the image to the controller. The controller determines whether the separation action has been completed (if there are still stacked items, the controller issues an audible and visual alarm to the next process). The guide groove 11 can form a limiting structure at the inner end of the detection frame 4. When the motor 5 starts, it drives the screw 6 to rotate and cooperate with the screw nut 7. When the screw nut 7 moves to move the 3D binocular camera 10, the screw nut 7 slides at the inner end of the guide groove 11.

[0027] By installing the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16 and the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18 in coordination, multiple inclined conveyor structures move the stacked express packages downwards in a staggered manner. Through the coordination of different angles and speeds at each level (the running speeds of the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16, the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18, and the third inclined conveyor belt assembly 20 increase progressively; in this invention, the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16, the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18, and the third inclined conveyor belt assembly 20 all use servo motor drives, providing good conditions for such speed adjustment and setting, under which the above speed setting is easily conceived by those skilled in the art), the originally attached express packages slide relative to each other and separate on different inclined conveyor belts. The support 3 19 can form a support structure on the outside of the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18. The third inclined conveyor belt assembly 20, in conjunction with the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16 and the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18, allows the device to have multiple separation structures, further improving the rapid separation effect of the device.

[0028] Specific implementation process: When using this device, before the express delivery is separated, the express delivery is located at the upper end of the horizontal conveyor platform 1. The horizontal conveyor platform 1 is equipped with a 3D binocular camera 10. When the start motor 5 drives the lead screw 6 to rotate and cooperates with the lead screw nut 7, the lead screw nut 7 moves to adjust the 3D binocular camera 10. With the help of the start automatic push rod 9, it can be adjusted laterally or at the distance from the separated express delivery, making it more convenient for the 3D binocular camera 10 to monitor. The 3D binocular camera 10 performs three-dimensional modeling of the stacked express delivery packages, which can accurately obtain the spatial position, size and thickness information of the express delivery packages. During the separation process, the side 3D binocular camera 14 can record the final movement state of the package in real time, and the controller determines whether the separation action has been completed.

[0029] During the separation process, the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16 and the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18 work together. Multiple inclined conveyor structures move the stacked packages downwards in a staggered manner. Through the coordination of different angles and speeds at each stage, the originally attached packages slide relative to each other on different conveyor belts and separate. The third inclined conveyor belt assembly 20, in conjunction with the first inclined conveyor belt assembly 16 and the second inclined conveyor belt assembly 18, allows the device to have multiple separation structures, enabling convenient separation of packages. The controller determines whether the separation action is complete (if there are still stacked packages, the controller issues an audible and visual alarm to the next process), which is then handled by the operator in the next process.
