Detailed Description
The invention is further described with reference to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3, and fig. 4, the intelligent distribution system for logistics and express delivery in a three-dimensional cross type is suitable for automatically sorting and classifying collected parcels according to destinations. Specifically include a total transfer chain 10, set up a plurality of letter sorting conveyer belt 2 in total transfer chain side, equidistantly set up the letter sorting dolly 3 of a plurality of rectangles on the letter sorting conveyer belt, the letter sorting conveyer belt roughly is perpendicular with total transfer chain and arranges, and the letter sorting conveyer belt is close to total transfer chain one end and is the drive end 21, and the other end that total transfer chain was kept away from to the letter sorting conveyer belt is the driven end 22. It can be understood that the left and right sides of the sorting conveyor belt are respectively provided with a plurality of sorting openings (not shown in the figure) which are arranged at intervals along the front and back directions of the sorting conveyor belt, and the sorting trolley is provided with a discharging mechanism which can lead the packages to enter the corresponding sorting openings. When needing to sort the parcel, the sign indicating number is swept to the bar code on the parcel that needs to sort earlier to the mode that the sign indicating number was swept to the letter sorting personnel accessible manual work that is located the initiative end, and the parcel after sweeping the sign indicating number is put into and is stopped in the letter sorting dolly on the letter sorting conveyer belt initiative end, and this moment this letter sorting dolly can accept to sweep the address information that the sign indicating number obtained. The sorting trolley can then be driven by a drive chain arranged in the sorting track, or can be driven by a motor arranged on the sorting trolley to move forwards along the sorting track. When the sorting trolley reaches the sorting opening position corresponding to the code scanning information, the unloading mechanism enables the packages on the sorting trolley to turn over laterally and enter the sorting opening to be concentrated.
It should be noted that the driving manner of the sorting trolley and the unloading mechanism arranged on the sorting trolley belong to the prior art, and are not described in detail herein. In addition, the sorting dolly accessible also can realize removing the power supply through the wiping line that sets up on the letter sorting track from the battery power supply of taking to commodity circulation letter sorting system itself needs to have a controller, so that when the letter sorting dolly reachs the letter sorting mouth position, the controller can make the sorting dolly park, and control discharge mechanism action and deliver the parcel into in the letter sorting mouth.
In order to facilitate sorting personnel to timely and conveniently transfer the packages on the main conveying line to the sorting trolleys of the sorting conveying belts, a shunting conveying line 20 can be respectively arranged between the driving end of each sorting conveying belt and the main conveying line, a package concentration device 201 is arranged beside the driving end of each sorting conveying belt, one end of each shunting conveying line is close to the corresponding package concentration device beside the driving end of each sorting conveying belt, the other end of each shunting conveying line is close to the main conveying belt, and the driving end is provided with a control switch capable of controlling the shunting conveying line to switch between a standby state and a shunting state. When sorting personnel need the parcel, can press control switch, make the reposition of redundant personnel transfer chain get into the reposition of redundant personnel state, the reposition of redundant personnel transfer chain starts this moment, and the parcel on the total transfer chain can loop through in the reposition of redundant personnel transfer chain gets into parcel enrichment facility, and sorting personnel can conveniently take the parcel that needs the letter sorting from in the parcel enrichment facility. When the parcels in the parcel collecting device reach a certain number, the sorting personnel can press the control switch again to switch the shunt conveying line to a standby state, and the parcels on the main conveying line move forwards continuously at the moment. It should be noted that the package centralizing device can be a collecting barrel with an upper opening.
In order to facilitate the transfer of the parcels on the main conveying line to the branch conveying lines, the main conveying line of the invention comprises a plurality of basic conveying sections 101 which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main conveying line, and a branch conveying section 102 which is connected between two adjacent basic conveying sections, wherein the number of the branch conveying sections is consistent with the number of the sorting conveyor belts. In addition, the side of the shunt conveying section, which is far away from the shunt conveying line, is rotatably connected with the basic conveying section, so that the shunt conveying section has a horizontal conveying state and a downward rotating switching state. Preferably, a plurality of conveying rollers 202 arranged transversely at intervals are respectively arranged on the basic conveying section and the branch conveying section, and the conveying rollers can be associated with a power source through a driving belt or a driving chain, so that the basic conveying section and the branch conveying section form a roller conveying mode. Of course, the shunt conveying line can also adopt a roller conveying mode. When the shunt conveying section is in a conveying state, the shunt conveying section is flush with the basic conveying section, the basic conveying section and the shunt conveying section are spliced into a flat total conveying line, and the package is driven by the conveying roller to move forwards sequentially through the basic conveying section and the shunt conveying section. When sorting personnel need gather the parcel and press control switch, the reposition of redundant personnel transfer chain switches to the reposition of redundant personnel state, and meanwhile, the reposition of redundant personnel carry the section to be close to reposition of redundant personnel transfer chain one side and get into the switching state of downward sloping after rotating downwards. When the parcels on the basic conveying section move to the downward-inclined shunting conveying section, the parcels automatically fall into the downward-inclined shunting conveying section, and the fallen parcels automatically enter the parcel concentration device along the downward-inclined shunting conveying line. When the parcels in the parcel concentration device reach a certain amount, sorting personnel can press the control switch again to enable the shunt conveying line to be switched to the standby state again, correspondingly, the shunt conveying section rotates upwards to the conveying state flush with the basic conveying section, and the parcels on the main conveying line can continue to move forwards so as to facilitate the subsequent shunt of the sorting conveying belt. It should be noted that the conveying rollers of the respective branch conveying sections can be driven by an independent power source, so that the rotation of the conveying rollers can be stopped when the branch conveying sections are in the switching state.
In order to facilitate the package to slide to the package concentration device from the shunt conveying section, a switching support 103 is arranged below the shunt conveying section, one side of the switching support, which is close to the shunt conveying line, is inclined downwards, and the inclination angle of the switching support is consistent with that of the shunt conveying section in a switching state. The transfer support is provided with a plurality of rolling rings 104, the axial direction of the rolling rings is consistent with the length direction of the main conveying line, the rolling rings are arranged in a rectangular array, a plurality of rows which are arranged longitudinally according to the main conveying line are formed on the transfer support, the rolling rings in each row are arranged at equal intervals along the transverse direction of the main conveying line, and the height of each rolling ring is smaller than the gap between two adjacent conveying rollers on the shunt conveying section. When the shunting conveying section rotates downwards to a switching state, the rolling ring on the switching bracket below the shunting conveying section is just positioned at a gap between adjacent conveying rollers on the shunting conveying section, and the rolling ring is higher than the conveying rollers of the shunting conveying section. Therefore, when the parcels on the basic conveying section fall onto the downward-inclined shunting conveying section, the parcels directly contact with the rolling ring, and can roll downwards along the rolling ring to the shunting conveying line. It will be appreciated that the rolling ring may provide rolling friction, thereby facilitating the sliding down of the package.
In order to reduce the floor space, as shown in fig. 5, 6 and 7, the sorting conveyor 2 of the present invention includes left and right long circular sorting rails 23 disposed on the frame 1, and the sorting rails are located in a vertical plane, so that the sorting rails have upper and lower horizontal rails 231, a semicircular transfer rail 232 connecting front ends of the upper and lower horizontal rails, and a semicircular transfer rail connecting rear ends of the upper and lower horizontal rails. Of course, the left and right oblong sorting tracks should be parallel to each other so that the sorting carriages circulate on the sorting tracks. In order to ensure that the sorting trolley is always kept in a horizontal state on the sorting track, the left sorting track is required to be arranged close to the rear, and the right sorting track is arranged close to the front, so that the two sorting tracks are arranged in a staggered mode from front to back. Further, as shown in fig. 8, a front sliding body 31 is rotatably provided at the front end of the right side of the sorting cart, the front sliding body is slidably connected to the sorting rail on the right side, a rear sliding body 32 is rotatably provided at the rear end of the left side of the sorting cart, the rear sliding body is slidably connected to the sorting rail on the left side, and the distance between the front and rear sliding bodies in the front-rear direction is equal to the offset distance between the two sorting rails. In the present embodiment, the driving end is set as the rear side, the driven end is set as the front side, and the left side and the right side are determined accordingly.
When the sorting trolley moves forwards on the horizontal rail on the upper layer, the axes of the front sliding body and the rear sliding body on the two sides of the sorting trolley are in a horizontal state and are arranged along the left-right direction, namely, the axes of the front sliding body and the rear sliding body are kept parallel to each other at the moment, so that the sorting trolley can not rotate left and right and can not rotate front and rear, and the sorting trolley can be kept in a horizontal state and has an upward opening. When the front sliding body of the sorting trolley enters the switching track of the right sorting track, the rear sliding body on the left side of the sorting trolley also just enters the switching track of the left sorting track, and the sorting trolley at the moment still keeps a horizontal state with an upward opening and gradually descends. When the front sliding body on the right side of the sorting trolley enters the horizontal rail on the lower layer of the sorting rail on the right side, the rear sliding body on the small left side of the sorting trolley also just enters the horizontal rail on the lower layer of the sorting rail behind, and the sorting trolley still keeps the horizontal state with the upward opening and gradually moves backwards. Therefore, the sorting system can realize the three-dimensional arrangement of the sorting tracks under the condition of ensuring that the sorting trolley is always in a horizontal state with an upward opening, thereby effectively reducing the floor area of the sorting system, being beneficial to reducing the cost and improving the efficiency.
It will be appreciated that the discharge mechanism can be actuated to deliver the parcels into the lateral sortation openings whether the sortation cart is moved forward or backward. Therefore, the arrangement distance between the sorting ports on the two sides of the sorting track in the front-back direction can be reduced as much as possible, so that the length of the sorting track is further shortened, the occupied area of a sorting system is reduced, and the sorting speed and efficiency are improved.
In order to simplify the structure of the sorting trolley, the sorting tracks on the left and right sides are respectively provided with a driving chain which is closed in a ring shape, the front sliding bodies and the rear sliding bodies are respectively connected with the driving chain on one corresponding side, the driving end of the sorting conveyor belt is provided with a driving chain wheel 24 meshed with the driving chain, the driven end of the sorting conveyor belt is provided with a driven chain wheel 25 meshed with the driving chain, and the two driving chain wheels are associated with a synchronous driving mechanism. Therefore, when the synchronous driving mechanism drives the left driving chain wheel and the right driving chain wheel to synchronously rotate, the left driving chain and the right driving chain can drive the sorting trolley to move along the sorting conveying belt. Correspondingly, the sorting trolley can drive the unloading mechanism to act through the vehicle-mounted storage battery so that the packages enter the sorting opening corresponding to the addresses, and therefore the power supply system of the sorting trolley is facilitated to be simplified, and the running reliability of the sorting trolley is improved.
As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the synchronous driving mechanism of the present invention includes a driving motor 4 and a linkage shaft 41 arranged in the left-right direction, a driving sprocket 42 is disposed on a motor shaft of the driving motor, a synchronous sprocket 43 is coaxially disposed on the left side of the left driving sprocket, a synchronous sprocket is coaxially disposed on the right side of the right driving sprocket, a first transition sprocket 44 is disposed on the right end of the linkage shaft, a second transition sprocket 45 and a third transition sprocket 46 are disposed side by side on the left end of the linkage shaft, the driving sprocket and the second transition sprocket are connected by a transmission chain, the third transition sprocket and the left synchronous sprocket are connected by a transmission chain, and the first transition sprocket is connected with the right synchronous sprocket by a transmission chain.
When the driving motor works, the second transition chain wheel is driven to rotate by the driving chain wheel, so that the first transition chain wheel and the third transition chain wheel at two ends are driven to rotate by the universal driving shaft, and the driving chain wheels at the left side and the right side are driven to rotate by the synchronous chain wheel, so that the sorting trolley is driven to move stably by the driving chain on the left sorting track and the right sorting track synchronously.
In addition, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, a tensioning motor 5 controlled by a controller and a forward moving rack 50 capable of moving back and forth can be arranged at the front end of the rack, a driven chain wheel at the driven end of the sorting conveyor belt is arranged on the forward moving rack, and the forward moving rack is connected with the tensioning motor through a transmission mechanism. When the sorting system runs for a certain time, the driving chains can gradually extend and loosen, at the moment, the tensioning motor can be started, the tensioning motor drives the front moving rack to move forwards through the transmission mechanism, and therefore the left driven chain wheel and the right driven chain wheel are driven to move forwards synchronously, and the left driving chain and the right driving chain are tensioned synchronously. Specifically, the transmission mechanism arranged between the tension motor and the front moving frame comprises a front worm 52 connected with a motor shaft of the tension motor, a front worm wheel 53 arranged at the front end of the frame and meshed with the front worm, and a front screw sleeve 54 arranged on the front moving frame, wherein a front lead screw 56 in threaded connection with the front screw sleeve is coaxially arranged on a worm wheel shaft of the front worm wheel. When the tensioning motor rotates, the front worm can be driven to rotate, so that the front worm wheel is driven to rotate, the front screw rod rotates at the moment, and the front moving rack is driven to stably move through the front screw sleeve, so that the left and right driving chains are synchronously tensioned.
In addition, a rear worm 58, a rear worm wheel 59 engaged with the rear worm, and a rear moving rack 51 capable of moving back and forth can be arranged at the rear end of the rack, and accordingly, a driving sprocket and a synchronous driving mechanism are arranged on the rear moving rack so as to facilitate the whole movement. The rear moving frame is further provided with a rear threaded sleeve 55, and a worm wheel shaft of the rear worm wheel is provided with a rear screw 57 in threaded connection with the rear threaded sleeve. Preferably, the worm shafts of the rear worm and the front worm are respectively provided with chain wheels, and a transmission chain is arranged between the two chain wheels, so that the tensioning motor is associated with the rear worm.
When the tensioning motor starts, on the one hand, the front moving rack is driven to move forwards, on the other hand, the rear screw rod is driven to rotate through the rear worm and the rear worm wheel, so that the rear moving rack is driven to move backwards through the rear screw sleeve, the front moving rack and the rear moving rack can synchronously move for the same distance in opposite directions, tensioning of a driving chain is achieved, the center of a sorting conveying belt can be kept unchanged all the time, and the accuracy of delivering packages into a sorting opening by using the sorting trolley is guaranteed.
Further, as shown in fig. 13, the front worm wheel of the present invention includes a center hub 521 key-connected to a worm wheel shaft, an outer ring gear 522 engaged with the front worm, and a web 523 integrally connected between the center hub and the outer ring gear, and a resistance strain gauge 6 is bonded to one side of the web, and the resistance strain gauge is electrically connected to a controller.
When the controller starts the tensioning motor to tension the driving chain, the spoke plate of the front worm wheel generates torque to deform, and the resistance strain gauge generates an electric signal corresponding to the torque. When the tension of the driving chain reaches a set value, the electric signal generated by the resistance strain gauge synchronously reaches the set value, and the controller can stop the tensioning motor. Accordingly, when the drive chain is gradually loosened and the tension force is reduced, the torque applied to the web of the front worm wheel is gradually reduced, and the electric signal of the resistance strain gauge is correspondingly reduced. When the electric signal of the resistance strain gauge drops to a set value, the controller controls the tensioning motor to work, so that the automatic tensioning of the driving chain can be realized, and the tensioning force of the driving chain is ensured to be maintained in a proper interval.
To accurately control the tension of the drive chain, a strain collar 524 may be keyed to the worm gear shaft of the front worm gear, against the central collar, with radially extending scallops 525 on the outside of the strain collar. A containing groove 526 is formed in the side face, close to the strain shaft sleeve, of the web of the front worm wheel, and the fan-shaped piece is rotatably located in the containing groove, so that the surface of the fan-shaped piece is flush with the side face of the web. Of course, the fan-shaped piece can be provided with a step-shaped bend so as to be positioned in the accommodating groove. One end of the resistance strain gauge is bonded to the surface of the segment, and the other end is bonded to the side of the web that is flush with the segment. Like this, when worm wheel shaft drove preceding worm wheel and rotates, the axle sleeve that meets an emergency, fan-shaped piece and worm wheel shaft synchronous revolution, and preceding worm wheel receives the effect of load, and its radials can form a dislocation with the fan-shaped piece under the effect of load moment, and the resistance foil gage at this moment receives a linear tensile stress to can form simple linear relation between the signal of telecommunication of the moment that makes preceding worm wheel received and resistance foil gage, and then be favorable to the accurate control of controller to drive chain tensile force.

Similarly, the inner side of the rear end of the left sorting track is provided with a conversion rib connected with the horizontal rib of the left sorting track, the conversion rib is semicircular, and the shape of the conversion rib corresponds to the shape of the conversion track at the rear side of the right sorting track. Furthermore, the rear end of the right sorting track is provided with a rear transfer rib 29 connected with the horizontal rib of the side, and the shape of the rear transfer rib corresponds to the transfer track of the rear side of the left sorting track. The front end of the left sorting track is provided with a front shifting edge 28 connected with the horizontal rib of the left sorting track, and the shape of the front shifting rib corresponds to the shape of the front shifting track of the right sorting track. In this way, the long circular positioning flanges formed by the upper and lower horizontal flanges, the front conversion flange at the front end and the conversion flange at the rear end are formed on the inner side of the left sorting track, and the long circular positioning flanges formed by the upper and lower horizontal flanges, the front conversion flange and the rear conversion flange at the rear end are formed on the inner side of the right sorting track. In addition, an opening allowing the front sliding body and the rear sliding body to pass through is arranged at the junction of the horizontal flanges of the two positioning flanges and the conversion flange, and a switching door 7 for blocking the opening is rotatably arranged at the opening. Of course, a locking mechanism for switching the switching door between the closed state and the open state is also required.
It should be noted that the axes of the front and rear sliding pins and the axes of the front and rear sliding bodies are horizontally arranged in the left-right direction, and the lengths of the front and rear sliding pins are smaller than the lengths of the front and rear sliding bodies, so that the front and rear sliding pins are abutted against the inner sides of the positioning ribs on the corresponding sides, and the front and rear sliding bodies pass over the positioning ribs and are connected to the driving chain, thereby the sorting trolley is reliably positioned at four points.
When the driving chain drives the sorting trolley to move forwards on the horizontal rail on the upper layer of the sorting rail, the front sliding pin and the rear sliding pin are respectively attached to the corresponding horizontal flanges, and the sorting trolley at the moment forms four-point positioning, so that the moving stability of the sorting trolley can be ensured. When the front sliding body on the right side of the sorting trolley moves to the junction of the horizontal flange on the right side and the conversion flange, the front sliding body firstly triggers the locking mechanism to push the switching door open, so that the front sliding body continuously moves forwards on the sorting track until the front sliding body enters the conversion track, and then the rear sliding pin enters the conversion flange from the horizontal flange through the switching door. Correspondingly, the front sliding pin on the left side of the sorting trolley is smoothly transited to the front shifting edge from the horizontal blocking edge, and then the rear sliding body moves forwards on the horizontal rail until entering the switching rail, so that the sorting trolley is always kept in a stable horizontal moving state.
When the sorting trolley starts to enter the horizontal rail of the lower layer from the switching rail at the front end and moves backwards, the rear sliding pin on the right side of the sorting trolley firstly moves to the horizontal flange on the lower side from the switching flange through the switching door, and then the front sliding body triggers the locking mechanism to push the switching door open, so that the sorting trolley enters the horizontal rail of the lower layer from the switching rail and moves backwards. Correspondingly, the rear sliding body on the left side of the sorting trolley firstly enters the lower horizontal rail smoothly from the switching rail, and then the front sliding pin smoothly transits to the lower horizontal flange from the front shifting edge.
When the rear sliding body on the left side of the sorting trolley moves backwards to the junction of the horizontal flange on the lower layer and the conversion flange on the rear side, the rear sliding body triggers the locking mechanism to push the switching door open, so that the rear sliding body continuously moves backwards on the sorting track until the rear sliding body enters the conversion track. Meanwhile, the front sliding pin enters the switching flange from the horizontal flange of the lower layer through the switching door. Correspondingly, the front sliding body on the right side of the sorting trolley moves backwards on the sorting track until entering the conversion track, and the rear sliding pin smoothly transits from the horizontal flange of the lower layer to the rear conversion flange, so that the sorting trolley is always kept in a stable horizontal movement state.
When the sorting trolley enters the horizontal rail on the upper layer again from the switching rail at the rear end and moves forwards, the front sliding body on the right side of the sorting trolley enters the horizontal rail on the upper layer smoothly from the switching rail and moves forwards, and then the rear sliding pin is smoothly transited to the horizontal flange on the upper layer from the rear switching flange. Correspondingly, the front sliding pin on the left side of the sorting trolley is smoothly transited to the horizontal flange on the upper layer from the conversion flange, and then the rear sliding body triggers the locking mechanism to push the switching door open until the rear sliding body enters the horizontal rail on the upper layer from the conversion rail.
By analogy, the sorting trolley can stably and circularly move on the sorting track.
As shown in fig. 14 and 15, the locking mechanism of the present invention includes a shaft pin 8 horizontally movably disposed on the horizontal rail back and forth, and a lock pin 9 vertically movably disposed on the horizontal rib. A shaft pin through hole 91 is required to be arranged on the lock pin, and a return spring 92 is sleeved on the lock pin and enables the lock pin to be positioned at a locking position. One end of the shaft pin is abutted against the side surface of the lock pin, and the lock pin plays a locking role in limiting axial movement of the shaft pin. The rotatable switching door comprises a gear sleeve 71 sleeved on the rotating shaft and provided with external teeth, a rack 81 meshed with the gear sleeve is arranged at the other end, far away from the lock pin, of the shaft pin, and a reset torsion spring is arranged on the rotating shaft of the switching door and enables the switching door to be automatically positioned in a closed state.
When the front sliding body moves forwards on the horizontal rail to the junction of the horizontal flange and the conversion flange, the front sliding body pushes the lock pin first, and the lock pin vertically moves to the unlocking position where the shaft pin through hole is opposite to the shaft pin attached to the lock pin. Then the front sliding body pushes the switching door, so that the shaft pin is driven by the gear sleeve and the rack to move and is inserted into the shaft pin through hole of the lock pin, the switching door is switched to an opening state, and the front sliding body can conveniently cross the opening at the junction of the horizontal flange and the switching flange and enter the switching track. And then the reset torsion spring drives the switching door to automatically reset to a closed state, and the switching door is withdrawn from the shaft pin through hole of the lock pin by driving the shaft pin to move in the direction of the gear sleeve and the rack, at the moment, the reset spring drives the lock pin to vertically move to reset a locking position, and the switching door is locked in the closed state again.
It is understood that the process of the rear sliding body opening the switching door is similar to the above description, and the description is not repeated here. In addition, the position of the lock pin should be as close to one side of the driving chain as possible, and the lengths of the front sliding pin and the rear sliding pin should be as short as possible on the basis of ensuring that the front sliding pin and the rear sliding pin can be attached to the positioning flanges so as not to touch the lock pin during movement.
