Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chute technology, specifically a non-standard spiral chute. Background Technology

[0002] Package sorting chutes are key equipment in logistics sorting systems used for conveying and sorting packages. They mainly achieve unpowered or low-energy transport of packages through gravity or spiral structures.

[0003] Spiral chutes are typically designed at the end of the loading line and connected to a linear conveyor. They are mainly used to collect missorted or missed goods during the sorting process, facilitating secondary sorting. In addition, in spaces with limited space, where it is not possible to directly install belt conveyor equipment to meet the transfer needs from high-rise lines to the ground, the ingenious design of spiral chutes can effectively solve this problem and significantly improve the overall operational efficiency of the site.

[0004] However, during peak sorting periods, a large number of packages enter the spiral chute. As the packages slide, they collide with the outer side plate of the chute, which slows down the sliding speed of the packages. This causes the packages to accumulate in the chute, resulting in the cessation of package sorting and conveying.

[0005] In view of this, we propose a non-standard spiral groove. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a non-standard spiral chute to solve the problem of package blockage during sorting mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A non-standard spiral chute includes: a support frame, inlet blades, outlet blades, transmission blades, flanges, a transmission mechanism, and rollers. The support frame consists of inlet legs, outlet legs, and reinforcing rods. The inlet legs and outlet legs are fixedly installed on the ground at a certain angle. The inlet legs and outlet legs are fixedly connected by reinforcing rods, which enhance the stability, rigidity, and safety of the overall support structure. The inlet legs are fixedly connected to the inlet blades, and the outlet legs are fixedly connected to the outlet blades. A motor is fixedly installed on the outlet legs. The inlet legs are bolted to the inlet blades, and the outlet legs are bolted to the outlet blades. The inlet blades are located above the outlet blades, with a height difference between them. The outlet legs also have mounting platforms, and the motor is fixedly installed on the outlet legs via these platforms. The linear array between the inlet blade and the outlet blade has multiple drive blades, which connect the inlet blade and the outlet blade to form a complete chute channel. When the package is being transported, the package enters from the inlet blade and is transported to the drive blade, and then is transported by the drive blade to the outlet blade for discharge. The drive blades are deflected at 45°, and multiple drive blades form a spiral structure. The 45° deflection of the drive blades facilitates their combination according to actual working requirements, improving installation flexibility. At the same time, the 45° deflection, combined with the height difference between the inlet and outlet blades, forms a spiral structure. The spiral structure transports the package by gravity, saving energy. It also saves space occupied by the chute, improving space utilization. Furthermore, the spiral angle and curved surface design allow for control of the downward sliding speed, thereby reducing collision damage between the package and the chute. The transmission blade is fixedly connected to the inlet blade and the outlet blade via flanges. Adjacent transmission blades are fixedly connected via flanges. The inlet blade, outlet blade, and transmission blade are fixedly connected to each other via flanges. By aligning the flanges and then screwing in bolts, the flanges are fixed together, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the inlet blade, outlet blade, and transmission blade. The transmission blades have a linear array of rollers on one side. The rollers change the direction of movement of the packages, thereby preventing the packages from getting stuck or blocked in the chute, which would prevent normal conveying. A transmission mechanism is provided below the rollers. The motor drives the rollers to rotate through the transmission mechanism to convey the packages. When conveying packages, the motor starts synchronously. The motor drives multiple rollers to rotate synchronously through the transmission mechanism. When a package comes into contact with a roller, the roller changes its direction of movement to avoid blockage. The rotation of the roller can also increase the speed of the package in contact with it, improve conveying efficiency, and avoid accumulation and jamming.

[0008] Preferably, the flange is provided with lifting lugs. The lifting lugs are used to improve the convenience of installing the inlet blade, outlet blade and drive blade. When installing the three, in order to ensure the stability of the three during the installation process, the rope is passed through the lifting lugs and tied to the mounting bracket to fix the height of the three, thereby avoiding the three from shaking due to the effect of height and gravity during the installation process, which would make it difficult to align the flange and affect the assembly of the slide.

[0009] Preferably, a fixed plate is linearly arrayed on one side of the transmission blade. The fixed plate is used to cooperate with the roller to block the package and prevent it from falling out of the chute. At the same time, it reduces the number of rollers and ensures a balance between cost and efficiency. Welded plates are symmetrically installed vertically at the intervals between adjacent fixed plates. A roller is rotatably installed between the welded plates and is rotatably installed on one side of the transmission blade through the welded plates. A transmission shaft is provided below the roller, and a transmission mechanism is provided on the transmission shaft. When the motor drives the transmission mechanism to work, the transmission mechanism drives the roller to rotate through the transmission shaft, thereby increasing the speed of the package and improving the conveying efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, the roller is a high-friction roller. The high-friction roller enhances the friction with the material through surface texture design, ensuring continuous and stable movement of the package, reducing jamming or slippage, and improving the stability of the conveying.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a coupling, a transmission wheel, and a transmission rope; one end of the coupling is fixedly connected to the motor, and the other end of the coupling is connected to the corresponding transmission shaft of the motor; a transmission wheel is fixedly installed on the transmission shaft; adjacent transmission wheels are connected by a transmission rope, and the motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate through the coupling, which in turn drives the roller near the outlet support to rotate. At the same time, the transmission shaft drives the driven wheel fixedly installed on it to rotate synchronously. When the driven wheel rotates, it drives the adjacent driven wheel on one side to rotate synchronously through the transmission shaft, and the adjacent driven wheel on one side drives the transmission shaft fixedly installed thereto, which drives the roller to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of multiple rollers and completing the conveying of the package.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes an inner baffle, which is fixedly connected to the inlet blade and the outlet blade respectively and fits against the transmission blade. The inner baffle acts as a barrier to prevent the package from flying out from the inside of the chute under the action of centrifugal force during the conveying and positioning process, thus affecting the normal transportation of the package.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the 45° deflection of the transmission blades makes it easier to combine the transmission blades according to actual working needs, which improves the flexibility of installation. At the same time, the setting of the roller increases the sliding speed of the package after being hit, thereby speeding up the conveying efficiency of the package and avoiding the blockage of the spiral chute.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Spiral chutes are typically designed at the end of the loading line and connected to a linear conveyor. They are mainly used to collect missorted or missed goods during the sorting process, facilitating secondary sorting. In addition, in spaces with limited space, where it is not possible to directly install belt conveyor equipment to meet the transfer needs from high-rise lines to the ground, the ingenious design of spiral chutes can effectively solve this problem and significantly improve the overall operational efficiency of the site.

[0018] However, during peak sorting periods, a large number of packages enter the spiral chute. As the packages slide, they collide with the outer side plate of the chute, which slows down the sliding speed of the packages. This causes the packages to accumulate in the chute, resulting in the cessation of package sorting and conveying.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a non-standard spiral chute includes: a support 1, an inlet blade 2, an outlet blade 3, a transmission blade 4, a flange 5, a transmission mechanism 7, and a roller 6; the support 1 consists of an inlet support leg 11, an outlet support leg 12, and a reinforcing rod 13. The inlet support leg 11 and the outlet support leg 12 are fixedly connected by the reinforcing rod 13. The inlet support leg 11 is fixedly connected to the inlet blade 2, and the outlet support leg 12 is fixedly connected to the outlet blade 3. A motor 121 is fixedly installed on the 2nd plate; multiple transmission blades 4 are linearly arranged between the inlet blade 2 and the outlet blade 3; the transmission blades 4 are deflected at 45°, and the multiple transmission blades 4 form a spiral structure 41; the transmission blades 4 are fixedly connected to the inlet blade 2 and the outlet blade 3 through flanges 5, and adjacent transmission blades 4 are fixedly connected through flanges 5; a roller 6 is linearly arranged on one side of the transmission blades 4, and a transmission mechanism 7 is provided below the roller 6. The motor 121 drives the roller 6 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 7 to realize the conveying of the package; Specifically, the support frame 1 consists of an inlet support leg 11, an outlet support leg 12, and a reinforcing rod 13. The inlet support leg 11 and the outlet support leg 12 are fixedly installed on the ground, and are set at a certain angle. The inlet support leg 11 and the outlet support leg 12 are fixedly connected by the reinforcing rod 13. The reinforcing rod 13 is fixedly connected to both the inlet support leg 11 and the outlet support leg 12. The setting of the reinforcing rod 13 increases the stability, rigidity, and safety of the overall structure of the support frame 1. The inlet support leg 11 is fixedly connected to the inlet blade 2, and the outlet support leg 12 is fixedly connected to the outlet blade 3. A motor 121 is fixedly installed on the outlet support leg 12. The inlet support leg 11 is connected to the inlet blade 2 by bolts, and the outlet support leg 12 is connected to the outlet blade 3 by bolts. The inlet blade 2 is located above the outlet blade 3, and there is a height difference between the two. The outlet support leg 12 is also provided with a mounting platform, and the motor 121 is fixedly installed on the outlet support leg 12 through the mounting platform.

[0020] There are multiple drive blades 4 in a linear array between the inlet blade 2 and the outlet blade 3. The inlet blade 2 and the outlet blade 3 are connected by the drive blades 4, thus forming a complete chute channel. When the package is being transported, the package enters from the inlet blade 2 and is transported to the drive blade 4, and then is transported by the drive blade 4 to the outlet blade 3 for discharge. The drive blade 4 is deflected at 45°, and multiple drive blades 4 form a spiral structure 41. The 45° deflection of the drive blade 4 facilitates the combination of drive blades 4 according to actual working requirements, improving the flexibility of installation. At the same time, the 45° deflection, combined with the height difference between the inlet blade 2 and the outlet blade 3, forms the spiral structure 41. The spiral structure 41 transports the package by gravity, which saves energy. At the same time, it saves the space occupied by the chute, improves space utilization, and the downward speed can be controlled by the spiral angle and curved surface design, thereby reducing the collision damage between the package and the chute.

[0021] The drive blade 4 is fixedly connected to the inlet blade 2 and the outlet blade 3 via flange 5. Adjacent drive blades 4 are also fixedly connected via flange 5. The inlet blade 2, the outlet blade 3, and the drive blade 4 are fixedly connected to each other via flange 5. By aligning the flanges 5 and then screwing in bolts, the flanges 5 are fixedly connected, thus achieving the fixed connection between the inlet blade 2, the outlet blade 3, and the drive blade 4.

[0022] A linear array of rollers 6 is arranged on one side of the transmission blades 4. The rollers 6 change the direction of movement of the packages, thereby preventing the packages from getting stuck or blocked in the chute, which would prevent normal conveying. A transmission mechanism 7 is provided below the rollers 6. The motor 121 drives the rollers 6 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 7 to convey the packages. When conveying the packages, the motor 121 starts synchronously and drives multiple rollers 6 to rotate synchronously through the transmission mechanism 7. When the packages come into contact with the rollers 6, the rollers 6 change their direction of movement to avoid blockage. The rotation of the rollers 6 can also increase the speed of the packages in contact with them, improve conveying efficiency, and avoid accumulation and jamming.

[0023] In this embodiment, a lifting lug 51 is provided on the flange 5; Specifically, the lifting lug 51 is used to improve the ease of installation of the inlet blade 2, outlet blade 3 and drive blade 4. When installing the three, in order to ensure the stability of the three during the installation process, the rope is passed through the lifting lug 51 and tied to the mounting bracket 1 to fix the height of the three, thereby avoiding the three from shaking due to the effect of height and gravity during the installation process, which would make it difficult to align the flange 5 and affect the assembly of the slide.

[0024] In this embodiment, a fixing plate 42 is linearly arrayed on one side of the transmission blade 4; Specifically, the fixing plate 42 is used to cooperate with the roller 6 to block the package and prevent it from falling out of the chute. At the same time, it reduces the number of rollers 6 and ensures a balance between cost and efficiency. Welding plates 43 are symmetrically installed vertically at the gap between adjacent fixing plates 42. The roller 6 is rotatably installed between the welding plates 43 and is rotatably installed on one side of the transmission blade 4 via the welding plates 43. A transmission shaft 61 is provided below the roller 6, and a transmission mechanism 7 is provided on the transmission shaft 61. When the motor 121 drives the transmission mechanism 7 to work, the transmission mechanism 7 drives the roller 6 to rotate through the transmission shaft 61, thereby increasing the speed of the package and improving the conveying efficiency.

[0025] In this embodiment, the roller 6 is a high-friction roller 6; Specifically, the high-friction roller 6 enhances the friction with the material through its surface texture design, ensuring continuous and stable movement of packages, reducing jamming or slippage, and improving the stability of the conveyor.

[0026] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 7 includes a coupling 71, a transmission wheel 72, and a transmission rope 73; one end of the coupling 71 is fixedly connected to the motor 121, and the other end of the coupling 71 is connected to the transmission shaft 61 corresponding to the motor 121; the transmission wheel 72 is fixedly installed on the transmission shaft 61; adjacent transmission wheels 72 are connected by the transmission rope 73. Specifically, one end of coupling 71 is fixedly connected to motor 121, and the other end of coupling 71 is connected to the corresponding drive shaft 61 of motor 121; a drive wheel 72 is fixedly installed on drive shaft 61; adjacent drive wheels 72 are connected by a drive rope 73. Motor 121 drives drive shaft 61 to rotate through coupling 71, and drive shaft 61 in turn drives roller 6 near outlet bracket 1 to rotate. At the same time, drive shaft 61 drives driven wheel fixedly installed on it to rotate synchronously. When driven wheel rotates, it drives adjacent driven wheel on one side to rotate synchronously through drive shaft 61. Adjacent driven wheel on one side then drives drive shaft 61 fixedly installed on it to rotate, and drive shaft 61 drives roller 6 to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of multiple rollers 6 and completing the conveying of packages.

[0027] In this embodiment, an inner baffle 8 is also included. The inner baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the inlet blade 2 and the outlet blade 3 respectively, and is in contact with the transmission blade 4. The inner baffle 8 plays a blocking role for the package, preventing the package from flying out from the inside of the chute under the action of centrifugal force during the conveying and positioning process, thus affecting the normal transportation of the package.

[0028] In use, the non-standard spiral chute of this utility model allows the package to enter the spiral chute formed by the inlet blade 2 and the transmission blade 4. Under the action of gravity and the spiral structure 41, it slides vertically downwards. Simultaneously, the motor 121 starts, and the motor 121 drives the transmission shaft 61 to rotate synchronously through the coupling 71. The transmission shaft 61 drives the roller 6 to rotate, and at the same time, the transmission shaft 61 drives the transmission wheel 72 fixedly installed on it to rotate synchronously. The transmission wheel 72 drives the adjacent transmission wheel 72 on one side to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt, and then drives the transmission shaft 61 to drive the adjacent roller 6 to rotate. When the package enters the spiral chute, the package will contact the rotating roller 6. The roller 6 generates a pushing force on the package by rotating, thereby increasing the sliding speed of the package and allowing the package to slide out of the spiral chute quickly, avoiding the problem of package accumulation.
