[0001] This utility model relates to a building conveyor, specifically an automatic scanning and warehousing building conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] In modern logistics and transportation systems, transport aircraft are widely used as key equipment for the continuous transport and sorting of goods. To ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the transportation process, scanning devices are usually installed on the transport line to automatically identify cargo label information, so that the system can record cargo data and provide operational basis for subsequent processes (such as sorting and palletizing).

[0003] Common scanning devices include a base fixedly mounted on the transport aircraft, with a scanner mounted on the base; by scanning the cargo labels with the scanner, the control system can accurately grasp the information of the cargo to be transported.

[0004] However, in practical applications, due to possible deviations in the position and posture of goods on the transport aircraft, or uncertainties such as soiling, wrinkles, or uneven pasting of labels, scanners with fixed angles and positions often fail to successfully read label information in one go, resulting in a high recognition failure rate and affecting the overall system efficiency.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-6 As an embodiment of the present utility model, the automatic scanning and storage conveyor includes a conveyor body 1; a limit frame 101 and a support frame 102 are installed on the conveyor body 1. It also includes a scanner 9, which is mounted on the support frame 102; the scanner 9 is used to scan cargo labels. The calibration component includes a fixed frame 8 fixedly connected to the scanner 9. The fixed frame 8 can drive the scanner 9 to rise or fall, and at the end of the rising or falling stroke, the scanner 9 can rotate to switch the scanning angle. It also includes a telescopic component, which is used to move the scanner 9 on the support frame 102 to move closer to or away from the goods.

[0024] In this embodiment, the limiting frame 101 is used to detect the height and width of the goods transported on the transport machine body 1, so as to prevent oversized or overweight goods from being transported to the next work station.

[0025] When the transport equipment delivers the goods to the loading station of the transport machine body 1, the control system will control the telescopic component to move so that the scanner 9 moves closer to the goods, thereby facilitating the scanner 9 to scan the goods label and enabling the control system to input the goods information, thus providing working parameters for subsequent equipment.

[0026] During the scanning process, the calibration component will cause the scanner 9 to rise or fall via the fixed frame 8.

[0027] Initially, scanner 9 is tilted. Therefore, when the calibration device operates, scanner 9 will continue to rise while tilted; and when scanner 9 rises to near the end of its stroke, the fixing frame 8 will rotate scanner 9 to change the scanning angle of scanner 9 (this scanning angle is symmetrical to the initial scanning angle; and the scanning areas at the two scanning angles partially overlap); then scanner 9 will maintain this scanning angle and begin to move downward (descend); and when scanner 9 descends to near the end of its stroke, the fixing frame 8 will rotate scanner 9 to restore the scanning angle of scanner 9 to its initial state.

[0028] The scanner 9 is raised or lowered by a calibration component, and rotated at the end of the rising or falling stroke, thereby changing the scanning angle (scanning area) during the rising and falling process, thus increasing the success rate of the scanner 9 in scanning cargo labels; and enhancing the fault tolerance of the transport aircraft to various uncertainties in the real environment.

[0029] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the calibration component also includes a mounting frame 3, on which a drive module 4 is mounted, and a lead screw 5 is mounted on the output end of the drive module 4; a threaded sleeve 6 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 5; a rotating shaft 10 is mounted on the fixed frame 8; and a rotating sleeve 7, which is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 6, is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, the scanning process is as follows: the control system controls the drive module 4 to rotate, thereby rotating the lead screw 5 (the lead screw 5 housing can rotate in either the forward or reverse direction), so that the threaded sleeve 6 moves up or down along the length of the lead screw 5 through threaded engagement. This rotation of the sleeve 7 then drives the fixed frame 8 to move synchronously, thereby displacing the scanner 9.

[0031] When the scanning area of ​​the scanner 9 completely covers the goods label, the control system will control the drive module 4 to stop, thereby stopping the rotation of the lead screw 5, and keeping the threaded sleeve 6 in a fixed position through the threaded engagement, thus facilitating accurate scanning by the scanner 9.

[0032] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the calibration component also includes grooves formed at both ends of the rotating shaft 10; fixed sleeves 14 that can be sleeved with the rotating shaft 10 are installed on both the upper and lower sides of the mounting frame 3; and protruding posts 1401 that slide and fit with the grooves are installed on the fixed sleeves 14.

[0033] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the groove group includes a first vertical groove 1001, an inclined groove 1002, and a second vertical groove 1003; wherein the two ends of the inclined groove 1002 are respectively connected to one end of the first vertical groove 1001 and one end of the second vertical groove 1003; the other ends of the first vertical groove 1001 and the second vertical groove 1003 both pass through the rotating shaft 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, during the upward movement of the fixed frame 8, the rotating shaft 10 moves synchronously. Near the end of the upward stroke, the rising rotating shaft 10 engages with the fixed sleeve 14 and slides inward within the fixed sleeve 14. The protruding column 1401 enters the groove group from the end of the first vertical groove 1001 away from the inclined groove 1002. The rotating shaft 10 continues to rise, thereby causing the protruding column 1401 to slide first in the first vertical groove 1001 towards the inclined groove 1002 (the first vertical groove 1001 plays a guiding role). Then, the protruding column 1401 slides in the inclined groove 1002 towards the second vertical groove 1003. Through the squeezing action of the groove wall of the inclined groove 1002 on the protruding column 1401, the rotating shaft 10 can be rotated, thereby causing the scanner 9 to rotate through the fixed frame 8.

[0035] Then, the fixed frame 8 drives the scanner 9 to descend. During this process, the protruding column 1401 will slide in the second vertical groove 1003 and slide out of the groove group from the end of the second vertical groove 1003 away from the inclined groove 1002, so that the rotating shaft 10 is separated from the fixed sleeve 14.

[0036] Furthermore, when the protruding post 1401 on one fixed sleeve 14 separates from the second vertical groove 1003 in the groove group at one end of the rotating shaft 10, the first vertical groove 1001 in the groove group at the other end of the rotating shaft 10 will align with the protruding post 1401 on the other fixed sleeve 14, thereby ensuring that the fixed frame 8 can rotate in the opposite direction during the descent process so that the scanning angle of the scanner 9 is reset.

[0037] The scanner 9 is raised or lowered by a calibration component, and rotated at the end of the rising or falling stroke, thereby changing the scanning angle (scanning area) during the rising and falling process, thus increasing the success rate of the scanner 9 in scanning cargo labels; and enhancing the fault tolerance of the transport aircraft to various uncertainties in the real environment.

[0038] As a further improvement of this utility model, one end of the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 14 is provided with an inclined bevel.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bevel can reduce the resistance of the rotating shaft 10 entering the fixed sleeve 14 and reduce the wear of the fixed sleeve 14 and the rotating shaft 10.

[0040] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a sliding sleeve 11 is slidably fitted on the rotating shaft 10; a spring 12 is wrapped around the rotating shaft 10, and the two ends of the spring 12 respectively abut against the sliding sleeve 11 and the rotating shaft 10; meshing tooth blocks 13 are installed on both the sliding sleeve 11 and the rotating sleeve 7.

[0041] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the sliding sleeve 11 and the rotating sleeve 7 are connected together by the meshing of the toothed blocks 13 on both, thereby increasing the rotational resistance between the rotating sleeve 7 and the rotating shaft 10, thus preventing the rotating shaft 10 from easily rotating during the rising or falling process, ensuring the sliding fit between the protruding post 1401 and the groove group, improving the stability of the calibration component, and preventing the scanner 9 from being obstructed during scanning due to the scanner 9 sliding.

[0042] During the pressing and engaging process of the protruding post 1401 and the inclined groove 1002 (when the rotating shaft 10 rotates), the sliding sleeve 11 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 10, causing the toothed blocks 13 between the sliding sleeve 11 and the rotating sleeve 7 to press against each other, thereby causing the sliding sleeve 11 to move away from the rotating sleeve 7 and compress the spring 12; after the toothed blocks 13 that are pressed against each other disengage, the elastic force of the spring 12 will drive the sliding sleeve 11 to move closer to the rotating sleeve 7, thereby causing another set of toothed blocks 13 to mesh with each other to re-stabilize the scanner 9.

[0043] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the telescopic component includes a cylinder 15 mounted on the support frame 102, and the output end of the cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 3.

[0044] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the telescopic component also includes a roller 301 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 3, and a guide rail 2 that rolls with the roller 301 is mounted on the support frame 102.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the control system detects that the goods are approaching, it controls the cylinder 15 to move, thereby driving the mounting frame 3 to move closer to the goods; after the scanner 9 finishes scanning, the cylinder 15 controls the mounting frame 3 to move away from the goods, so as to avoid obstructing the normal operation of the transport equipment.

[0046] During the movement of the mounting frame 3, the rolling action of the rollers 301 and the guide rail 2 improves the moving efficiency, reduces moving resistance and wear, and thus extends the service life of the device.

[0047] The above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Therefore, without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model, any technical solutions that can be implemented in other specific forms are included in this utility model.
