Detailed Description

For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a warehouse sorting device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, the warehouse sorting apparatus may include: the controller 01 (not shown in the drawings), a plurality of conveying mechanisms 02, a plurality of weight gauges 03, a plurality of lever mechanisms 04 and a bracket 05, wherein the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 and the plurality of lever mechanisms 04 are in one-to-one correspondence, and the plurality of lever mechanisms 04 and the plurality of weight gauges 03 are in one-to-one correspondence.

The plurality of lever mechanisms 04 are sequentially installed on the support 05, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 are respectively fixed at one ends of the corresponding lever mechanisms 04, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 are also respectively electrically connected with the controller 01, the conveying directions of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 are the same, and goods on the last conveying mechanism 02 in the two adjacent conveying mechanisms 02 can be conveyed to the next conveying mechanism 02 along the conveying direction. The plurality of weight measuring tools 03 are respectively fixed at the other ends of the corresponding lever mechanisms 04, wherein under the action of the lever mechanisms 04 and the weight measuring tools 03, the upper surface of each conveying mechanism 02 is horizontal when goods are not placed, and the lever mechanisms 04 are used for rotating around the support 05 when the moment of the sum of the weight force born by the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 and the weight force born by the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 is larger than the moment of the weight force born by the corresponding weight measuring tools 03 so as to enable the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 to fall.

Since the lever mechanism 04 is configured to rotate around the bracket 05 when the moment of the sum of the weight force applied to the article on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 and the weight force applied to the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 itself is greater than the moment of the weight force applied to the corresponding weight measuring tool 03, the article on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 is dropped. Thus, the goods meeting the weight requirements can be dropped from the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 by the lever mechanism 04, that is, the warehouse sorting equipment has the function of sorting out the goods meeting the weight requirements. The labor intensity of personnel can be reduced.

Further, in some embodiments, the weights of the plurality of weight scales 03 are different, and the weights of the plurality of weight scales 03 decrease sequentially along the conveying direction.

In this way, since the plurality of lever mechanisms 04 are sequentially mounted on the bracket 05, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 are respectively fixed at one end of the corresponding lever mechanism 04, the plurality of weight gauges 03 are respectively fixed at the other end of the corresponding lever mechanism 04, and the weights of the plurality of weight gauges 03 decrease sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanisms 02, the article on the last conveying mechanism 02 of the two adjacent conveying mechanisms 02 can be conveyed to the next conveying mechanism 02 along the conveying direction, and therefore, when the article is conveyed along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 02, the plurality of lever mechanisms 04 can respectively drop the article meeting the weight requirement on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 from the corresponding conveying mechanism 02, and continue conveying the article which does not meet the weight requirement to the next conveying mechanism 02. Obviously, along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 02, the warehouse sorting device can group the goods in order from big to small according to the weight of the goods, and the weight of the goods in each group is equal, that is, the function of automatically sorting the goods with equal weight is completed, so that the labor intensity of personnel can be greatly reduced.

It should be noted that, since the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 are also electrically connected to the controller 01, when the controller 01 receives an instruction to start sorting the goods, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 may be controlled to start rotating based on the instruction to start sorting the goods, so as to perform conveying of the goods, and further, the function of conveying the goods by the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is completed.

Since the plurality of transfer mechanisms 02 are fixed to one end of the corresponding lever mechanism 04, and the plurality of weight gauges 03 are fixed to the other end of the corresponding lever mechanism 04, one end of the lever mechanism 04 receives the weight of the corresponding transfer mechanism 02, and the other end of the lever mechanism 04 receives the weight of the corresponding weight gauge 03. When the goods are conveyed on the conveying mechanism 02, one end of the lever mechanism 04 receives the sum of the weight force of the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 and the weight force of the corresponding conveying mechanism 02, the other end of the lever mechanism 04 receives the weight force of the weight measuring tool 03, obviously, when the moment of the sum of the weight force of the goods and the weight force of the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 is larger than the moment of the weight force of the corresponding weight measuring tool 03, the lever mechanism 04 can rotate around the bracket 05, and obviously, when the lever mechanism 04 rotates around the bracket 05, the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 can fall down.

It is also noted that the above-described equal weight items are approximate expressions, and in some embodiments, items having a weight difference within 0.1kg may be approximated as equal weight items. Naturally, according to the actual application scenario, the goods with the weight difference within 1kg can be regarded as the goods with equal weight. However, in the actual operation, for the articles with larger weight, the weight difference may be set larger, and for the articles with smaller weight, the weight difference may be set smaller, that is, the articles with the weight difference within the range are considered as the articles with equal weight, which are approximate, may be set freely by people, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited in particular. In addition, it is also notable that the smaller the change in weight of the weight scale 03 in the conveyance direction, the higher the accuracy of equal weight grouping will be.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, each of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 may correspond to one power mechanism, where each power mechanism drives the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 to convey the goods or stop conveying the goods, that is, the movement between each conveying mechanism 02 is independent, which is obviously more flexible.

In other embodiments, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 may correspond to the same power mechanism, and in this case, in one possible implementation manner, the warehouse sorting device may further include a plurality of conveying belts, where the plurality of conveying belts and the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 are in one-to-one correspondence, one ends of the plurality of conveying belts are respectively connected with the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02, and the other ends of the plurality of conveying belts are respectively connected with the power mechanism, so that the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 can be driven by one power mechanism to drive the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 to drive simultaneously, which obviously saves more cost.

Next, a specific operation principle of the warehouse sorting apparatus will be illustrated. As an example, assuming that the warehouse sorting apparatus includes three conveying mechanisms 02, and that the conveying direction along the conveying mechanism 02 is a conveying mechanism, B conveying mechanism, and C conveying mechanism in this order, when the weight of the article on the a conveying mechanism is not less than 1.5kg, the article may be caused to fall from the a conveying mechanism, when the weight of the article on the B conveying mechanism is not less than 1.4kg, the article may be caused to fall from the B conveying mechanism, when the weight of the article on the C conveying mechanism is not less than 1.3kg, the article may be caused to fall from the C conveying mechanism, and that the weight of the first article is 1.4kg, then when the first article is on the a conveying mechanism, the a conveying mechanism may not rotate around the bracket 05, and thus the first article may not fall from the a conveying mechanism, but continue to be conveyed onto the B conveying mechanism along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 02, and, when the weight of the article on the B conveying mechanism is not less than 1.4kg, the article may be caused to fall from the B conveying mechanism, and thus the first article may fall from the B conveying mechanism, and the first article may arrive at the conveying mechanism B conveying mechanism 1.4kg, and the conveying mechanism 1.4kg is also, and the first article is conveyed from the conveying mechanism 1.4kg, and the conveying mechanism is completed. Assuming that the weight of the second article is 1.31kg, it is known that the second article will fall down on the C conveyor.

It should be noted that, the lever mechanism 04 may be sequentially mounted on the bracket 05 through a bearing, or may be mounted on the bracket 05 through other manners, which is only required to satisfy that the lever mechanism 04 may rotate around the bracket 05, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application. The plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 may be fixed to one end of the corresponding lever mechanism 04 by screws, and may be fixed to one end of the lever mechanism 04 by welding, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application. The plurality of weight gauges 03 may be fixed to the other end of the corresponding lever mechanism 04 by screws, and may be fixed to the other end of the corresponding lever mechanism 04 by other means, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be further noted that, in some embodiments, the weight measuring tool 03 may be a weight, and of course, the weight measuring tool 03 may be another measuring tool having a weight measuring function or an article, a component, or the like having a known weight, which is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the number of the conveying mechanisms 02 may be 2, or may be other number greater than 2, and the number of the conveying mechanisms 02 in the embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited.

In addition, it is also worth noting that for the scene of pipelining, the condition that the goods are already on the production line in the previous process often exists, and in this case, the production line of the previous process can be directly connected with the warehouse sorting equipment provided by the application, so that the function of full-automatic operation is completed. For example, the warehouse sorting equipment provided by the application is used for carrying out equal-weight grouping on apples, and the cleaning operation is carried out on a cleaning assembly line on the premise that the previous working procedure is carrying out the cleaning operation on apples, so that the cleaning assembly line and the warehouse sorting equipment provided by the application can be subjected to connection operation, and obviously, the function of full-automatic operation can be realized through the connection operation.

In order to avoid the direct landing of the articles when they fall from the conveyor 02, and also to facilitate the subsequent grouping of the articles of different weights, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, the warehouse sorting device may further include a plurality of lanes 06, where the plurality of lanes 06 are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of conveyors 02. The goods way 06 are respectively fixed on the support 05, the goods receiving openings of the goods way 06 are respectively positioned below the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02, the goods way 06 are all in slope shape, the goods way 06 is used for collecting goods falling on the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02, and the collected goods are respectively slid to the corresponding designated positions. Therefore, on one hand, the goods can be prevented from falling to the ground directly, damage to the goods is avoided, and on the other hand, the collected goods can be slid to the designated position, so that the workload of grouping the goods with different weights subsequently is greatly reduced.

It should be noted that, the plurality of cargo lanes 06 may be fixed to the support 05 by screws, or may be fixed to the support 05 by welding, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application. It should be further noted that, in order to better avoid damage to the goods, the inclination angle of the plurality of goods lanes 06 may be smaller, so that the goods may slide down from the plurality of goods lanes 06 more slowly, thereby better protecting the goods. Furthermore, the design of the plurality of lanes 06 may also be different based on different goods. For example, when the plurality of lanes 06 are used for sliding fragile goods such as apples, a protection pad may be further disposed on the plurality of lanes 06. In summary, the plurality of lanes 06 may serve to stably slide the goods thereon without damaging the goods themselves, and the specific design of the plurality of lanes 06 is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

For the warehouse sorting apparatus, after any one of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 rotates around the bracket 05, the upper surface of any one conveying mechanism 02 is no longer horizontal, and at this time, in a scene, it may happen that the last conveying mechanism 02 adjacent to the last conveying mechanism continues to convey the goods to the any conveying mechanism 02, thereby causing the rolling of the goods. Based on this scenario or other similar scenarios, referring to fig. 3, the warehouse sorting apparatus may further include a plurality of rotation detection modules 07, where the plurality of rotation detection modules 07 are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of lever mechanisms 04. A plurality of rotation detection modules 07 are respectively mounted on the corresponding lever mechanisms 04, and the rotation detection modules 07 are used for detecting whether the corresponding lever mechanisms 04 rotate around the bracket 05. The plurality of rotation detection modules 07 are also electrically connected to a controller 01, respectively, and the controller 01 is configured to control the conveyance mechanism 02 corresponding to the remaining lever mechanisms 04 except for at least one lever mechanism 04 to stop conveyance during rotation of at least one lever mechanism 04 among the plurality of lever mechanisms 04 around the bracket 05. In this way, when the plurality of rotation detection modules 07 detect that the corresponding lever mechanisms 04 rotate around the bracket 05, the conveying mechanisms 02 corresponding to the remaining lever mechanisms 04 except for at least one lever mechanism 04 can be controlled to stop conveying, and thus, the occurrence of the condition that the goods roll off can be avoided.

The plurality of rotation detecting modules 07 may be mounted on the corresponding lever mechanisms 04 by screws, or may be mounted on the corresponding lever mechanisms 04 by snap-fit, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application. The plurality of rotation detection modules 07 may be components having a function of detecting whether the lever mechanism 04 is horizontal, such as a horizontal detection sensor, an inclination detection sensor, and a gyroscope, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the plurality of rotation detection modules 07.

In a specific operation process, when the rotation detection modules 07 detect that the corresponding lever mechanisms 04 are no longer horizontal, that is, detect that the corresponding lever mechanisms 04 rotate around the support 05, the signals can be sent to the controller 01, and after the controller 01 receives the signals that the corresponding lever mechanisms 04 rotate around the support 05, the other conveying mechanisms 02 corresponding to the remaining lever mechanisms 04 can be controlled to stop conveying based on the signals, so that the condition that goods roll off can be avoided.

In addition, when the at least one conveying mechanism 02 rotates around the bracket 05, there may be a case where the article on the at least one conveying mechanism 02 cannot fall down, for example, for some non-circular articles such as vegetables, the article may remain on the upper surface of the at least one conveying mechanism 02. Thus, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the warehouse sorting apparatus may further include a discharging mechanism 08, where the discharging mechanism 08 is fixed on the support 05, and the discharging mechanism 08 is electrically connected to the controller 01, and the controller 01 is further configured to control the discharging mechanism 08 to push the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 of the at least one lever mechanism 04 to fall during the rotation of the at least one lever mechanism 04 around the support 05. Like this, when the condition that the goods can't fall from the upper surface of transport mechanism 02 appears, can promote the goods whereabouts on the transport mechanism 02 that at least one lever mechanism 04 corresponds respectively through unloading mechanism 08, avoided other transport mechanism 02 to wait for the condition that the goods whereabouts on this transport mechanism 02 stop the conveying, and then avoided the condition that the sorting efficiency of this warehouse sorting equipment reduces to take place.

In some embodiments, the warehouse sorting device may further include a goods presence detection module, where the goods presence detection module is fixed on the conveying mechanism 02, and the goods presence detection module is used to detect whether the goods is present on the conveying mechanism 02. Thus, after the transfer mechanism 02 rotates about the bracket 05, the rotation detection module 07 can send a signal that the lever mechanism 04 rotates about the bracket 05 to the controller 01. In addition, since the article presence detection module is used to detect whether the article is present on the conveying mechanism 02, the article presence detection module can send a signal indicating whether the article is present on the conveying mechanism 02 to the controller 01 after the conveying mechanism 02 rotates around the bracket 05. In one possible case, when the article presence detection module can still detect the article presence on the conveying mechanism 02 after the conveying mechanism 02 rotates around the bracket 05, that is, a case in which the article cannot fall occurs. Based on this, the controller 01 can control the discharging mechanism 08 to push the article on the conveying mechanism 02 which cannot be dropped down. In another possible case, when the article presence detection module detects that there is no article on the conveying mechanism 02 after the conveying mechanism 02 rotates around the bracket 05, that is, there is no case where the article cannot fall. Based on this, the controller 01 can control the discharging mechanism 08 to remain stationary.

It should be noted that, the discharging mechanism 08 may be fixed on the bracket 05 by a screw, or may be fixed on the bracket 05 by welding, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In one possible implementation, with continued reference to fig. 4, the blanking mechanism 08 may include a sliding assembly 081 and a pushing assembly 082, the sliding assembly 081 being mounted on the bracket 05, the pushing assembly 082 being mounted on the sliding assembly 081, both the sliding assembly 081 and the pushing assembly 082 being electrically connected to the controller 01, the sliding assembly 081 being configured to convey the pushing assembly 082 to the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 of the at least one lever mechanism 04 under the control of the controller 01 during rotation of the at least one lever mechanism 04 about the bracket 05, the pushing assembly 082 being configured to push the items on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 of the at least one lever mechanism 04 under the control of the controller 01. That is, when the articles on the conveying mechanism 02 corresponding to the at least one lever mechanism 04 need to be pushed to fall, the controller 01 can control the sliding assembly 081 to convey the pushing assembly 082 to the position of the conveying mechanism 02 corresponding to the at least one lever mechanism 04, so that one pushing assembly 082 can push the articles on different conveying mechanisms 02, namely, only one pushing assembly 082 is needed to push the articles on different conveying mechanisms 02, and therefore the manufacturing cost is low.

It should be noted that the sliding assembly 081 may be mounted on the bracket 05 by a screw, or may be mounted on the bracket 05 by other means, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, the pushing assembly 082 may be mounted on the sliding assembly 081 by a screw, or may be mounted on the sliding assembly 081 by other means, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that, the sliding function of the sliding assembly 081 may be implemented by a synchronous belt mechanism, but may be implemented by other possible mechanisms, which are not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present application. In addition, the pushing component 082 may be a pushing cylinder, or other mechanisms or components with a pushing function, such as a synchronous belt mechanism, an electric cylinder, etc., and the mechanical structure of the pushing component 082 is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In another possible implementation, referring to fig. 5, the blanking mechanism 08 may include a plurality of pushing assemblies 082, where the plurality of pushing assemblies 082 are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02. The plurality of pushing assemblies 082 are mounted on the support 05, the plurality of pushing assemblies 082 are electrically connected with the controller 01, and the pushing assemblies 082 are used for pushing the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02 to fall under the control of the controller 01 in the process that at least one lever mechanism 04 rotates around the support 05. That is, each conveyor 02 will correspond to a pusher assembly 082 to push the items on the conveyor 02. Thus, in some cases, if there are two articles on the conveying mechanisms 02 at the same time, the two articles to be dropped can be pushed to drop simultaneously by the pushing assemblies 082 respectively corresponding to each other, so that the efficiency is higher.

It should be noted that, the plurality of pushing assemblies 082 may be mounted on the bracket 05 by screws, or may be mounted on the bracket 05 by other manners, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, the width of the conveying surfaces of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is equal, and the central axes of the conveying surfaces of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 in the conveying direction are on the same line. In other words, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 are placed in a regular manner, and therefore, the article on the conveying mechanism 02 can be conveyed better. For example, assuming that the width of the conveying surfaces of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is not equal, there may be a case where the article on the previous conveying mechanism 02 cannot be conveyed onto the next conveying mechanism 02, and even a case where the article rolls off from the conveying mechanism 02 during the conveyance from the previous conveying mechanism 02 to the next conveying mechanism 02.

Further, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, the warehouse sorting device may further include a guide assembly 09, where the guide assembly 09 is fixed on the support 05 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 02 and is located directly above the conveying mechanism 02, and the guide assembly 09 is used for guiding the goods conveyed on the conveying mechanism 02. In this way, when the goods are conveyed on the conveying mechanism 02, the goods can be prevented from being disordered on the conveying mechanism 02 or falling off from the conveying mechanism 02 under the guiding action of the guiding assembly 09.

In the embodiment of the application, the lever mechanism 04 is used for rotating around the bracket 05 when the moment of the sum of the gravity born by the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 and the gravity born by the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 is larger than the moment of the gravity born by the corresponding weight measuring tool 03, so that the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 fall down. Thus, the goods meeting the weight requirements can be dropped from the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 by the lever mechanism 04, that is, the warehouse sorting equipment has the function of sorting out the goods meeting the weight requirements. Since the plurality of lever mechanisms 04 are sequentially mounted on the support 05, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 are respectively fixed at one ends of the corresponding lever mechanisms 04, the plurality of weight measuring tools 03 are respectively fixed at the other ends of the corresponding lever mechanisms 04, the weights of the plurality of weight measuring tools 03 decrease sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanisms 02, and the goods on the last conveying mechanism 02 of the two adjacent conveying mechanisms 02 can be conveyed to the next conveying mechanism 02 along the conveying direction, therefore, when the goods are conveyed along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanisms 02, the plurality of lever mechanisms 04 can respectively drop the goods meeting the weight requirements on the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02 from the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02, and continuously convey the goods which do not meet the weight requirements to the next conveying mechanism 02. Obviously, along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 02, the warehouse sorting device can group the goods in order from big to small according to the weight of the goods, and the weight of the goods in each group is equal, that is, the function of automatically sorting the goods with equal weight is completed, so that the labor intensity of personnel can be greatly reduced.

Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of another warehouse sorting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 6, the warehouse sorting apparatus may include: the controller 01 (not shown in the figure), a plurality of conveying mechanisms 02, a plurality of weighing modules (not shown in the figure, located inside the conveying mechanisms 02), a plurality of lifting mechanisms and a bracket 05, wherein the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 and the plurality of weighing modules are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of lifting mechanisms.

The conveying directions of the conveying mechanisms 02 are the same, one side of each conveying mechanism 02 is arranged on one side of the corresponding support 05 through a lifting mechanism, the other side of each conveying mechanism 02 is arranged on the other side of the support 05 through a rotating shaft, and goods on the last conveying mechanism 02 in two adjacent conveying mechanisms 02 can be conveyed to the next conveying mechanism 02 along the conveying direction. The weighing modules are respectively installed on the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02, the conveying mechanisms 02 are further respectively and electrically connected with the controller 01, and the controller 01 is used for controlling the lifting mechanism corresponding to any conveying mechanism 02 to lift when the weight of the goods on any conveying mechanism 02 in the conveying mechanisms 02 is determined to meet the requirement, so that the goods on any conveying mechanism 02 fall.

Because one side of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is mounted on one side of the support 05 through the corresponding lifting mechanism, the other side of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is mounted on the other side of the support 05 through the rotating shaft, the plurality of weighing modules 10 are respectively mounted on the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02, and the controller 01 is used for controlling the lifting mechanism corresponding to any conveying mechanism 02 to lift when the weight of the goods on any conveying mechanism 02 in the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is determined to meet the requirement so as to enable the goods on any conveying mechanism 02 to fall down, the warehouse sorting equipment has the function of sorting the goods meeting the weight. Because the goods on the last conveying mechanism 02 of the two adjacent conveying mechanisms 02 can be conveyed to the next conveying mechanism 02 along the conveying direction, the warehouse sorting equipment can group the goods on the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 according to weight along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanisms 02, and the weight of the goods in each group is equal, namely, the function of automatically sorting the goods with equal weight is completed, so that the labor intensity of personnel can be greatly reduced.

It should be noted that, since the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 are also electrically connected to the controller 01, when the controller 01 receives an instruction to start sorting the goods, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 may be controlled to start rotating based on the instruction to start sorting the goods, so as to perform conveying of the goods, and further, the function of conveying the goods by the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is completed. In addition, it is also noted that, since the controller 01 is configured to control the lifting mechanism corresponding to any one of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 to lift when it is determined that the weight of the article on any one of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 satisfies the requirement, and since the plurality of weighing modules are respectively mounted on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02, when the plurality of weighing modules detect that the weight of the article on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 satisfies the requirement, a first signal may be sent to the controller 01, the first signal being configured to indicate that the weight of the article on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 satisfies the requirement, and after the controller 01 receives the first signal, a second signal may be sent to the lifting mechanism based on the first signal, the second signal being configured to indicate that the lifting mechanism performs the lifting function. When the lifting mechanism receives the second signal, a lifting function may be performed to rotate the other side of the corresponding plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 around the bracket 05, further tilting the corresponding plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 and dropping the article. That is, the function of automatically sorting the goods is completed.

In order to avoid the direct landing of the articles when they fall from the conveying means 02, and also to facilitate the subsequent grouping of the articles of different weights, the warehouse sorting device may in some embodiments further comprise a plurality of lanes 06, the plurality of lanes 06 being in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of conveying means 02. The goods way 06 are respectively fixed on the support 05, the goods receiving openings of the goods way 06 are respectively positioned below the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02, the goods way 06 are all in slope shape, the goods way 06 is used for collecting goods falling on the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02, and the collected goods are respectively slid to the corresponding designated positions. Therefore, on one hand, the goods can be prevented from falling to the ground directly, damage to the goods is avoided, and on the other hand, the collected goods can be slid to the designated position, so that the workload of grouping the goods with different weights subsequently is greatly reduced.

For the warehouse sorting device, when at least one lifting mechanism of the plurality of lifting mechanisms lifts, the upper surface of the conveying mechanism 02 corresponding to the at least one lifting mechanism 11 is not horizontal any more, at this time, in a scene, the condition that the last conveying mechanism 02 adjacent to the last conveying mechanism continues to convey goods to any conveying mechanism 02 may occur, and then the goods roll off may occur. Thus, in some embodiments, the controller 01 is further configured to control the conveying mechanism 02 corresponding to the remaining lifting mechanisms to stop conveying during lifting of the plurality of lifting mechanisms, so that the rolling of the goods can be avoided.

Specifically, when at least one of the plurality of lifting mechanisms lifts, a third signal may be sent to the controller 01, where the third signal is used to indicate that at least one of the plurality of lifting mechanisms 11 is performing a lifting function, and after the controller 01 receives the third signal, the third signal may control the other remaining lifting mechanisms to stop conveying by corresponding conveying mechanisms 02, so that the condition that the goods roll off may be avoided.

After the at least one conveyor 02 rotates about the rack 05, there may be a case where the goods on the at least one conveyor 02 cannot fall down, for example, for some non-circular goods such as vegetables, the goods may remain on the upper surface of the at least one conveyor 02. Thus, in some embodiments, the warehouse sorting apparatus may further include a discharging mechanism 08, where the discharging mechanism 08 is fixed on the support 05, and the discharging mechanism 08 is electrically connected to the controller 01, and the controller 01 is further configured to control the discharging mechanism 08 to push the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism 02 to fall by at least one lever mechanism 04 during the rotation of the at least one lever mechanism 04 around the support 05. Like this, when the condition that the goods can't fall from the upper surface of transport mechanism 02 appears, can promote the goods whereabouts on the transport mechanism 02 that at least one lever mechanism 04 corresponds respectively through unloading mechanism 08, avoided other transport mechanism 02 to wait for the condition that the goods whereabouts on this transport mechanism 02 stop the conveying, and then avoided the condition that the sorting efficiency of this warehouse sorting equipment reduces to take place.

In some embodiments, the warehouse sorting device may further include a goods presence detection module, where the goods presence detection module is fixed on the conveying mechanism 02, and the goods presence detection module is used to detect whether the goods is present on the conveying mechanism 02. Therefore, after the at least one conveying mechanism 02 rotates around the support 05, that is, after the at least one lifting mechanism performs the lowering function, the lifting mechanism may send a third signal to the controller 01, where the third signal is used to indicate that when the at least one lifting mechanism of the plurality of lifting mechanisms is performing the lowering function, in a possible case, if the article presence detection module still can detect that the article is on the conveying mechanism corresponding to the at least one lifting mechanism, that is, a condition that the article cannot fall occurs. Based on this, the controller 01 can control the discharging mechanism 08 to push the article on the conveying mechanism 02 which cannot be dropped down. In another possible case, when the article presence detection module detects that there is no article on the conveying mechanism 02, then that is, there is no case where the article cannot fall. Based on this, the controller 01 can control the discharging mechanism 08 to remain stationary.

In one possible implementation, the blanking mechanism 08 may include a sliding assembly 081 and a pushing assembly 082, the sliding assembly 081 being mounted on the bracket 05, the pushing assembly 082 being mounted on the sliding assembly 081, the sliding assembly 081 and the pushing assembly 082 being both electrically connected to the controller 01, the sliding assembly 081 being configured to convey the pushing assembly 082 to the conveyor 02 corresponding to the at least one lever mechanism 04 under the control of the controller 01 during rotation of the at least one lever mechanism 04 about the bracket 05, the pushing assembly 082 being configured to push the items on the conveyor 02 corresponding to the at least one lever mechanism 04 under the control of the controller 01. That is, when the articles on the conveying mechanism 02 corresponding to the at least one lever mechanism 04 need to be pushed to fall, the controller 01 can control the sliding assembly 081 to convey the pushing assembly 082 to the position of the conveying mechanism 02 corresponding to the at least one lever mechanism 04, so that one pushing assembly 082 can push the articles on different conveying mechanisms 02, namely, only one pushing assembly 082 is needed to push the articles on different conveying mechanisms 02, and therefore the manufacturing cost is low.

In another possible implementation, the blanking mechanism 08 may include a plurality of pushing assemblies 082, where the plurality of pushing assemblies 082 are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02. The plurality of pushing assemblies 082 are mounted on the support 05, the plurality of pushing assemblies 082 are electrically connected with the controller 01, and the pushing assemblies 082 are used for pushing the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02 to fall under the control of the controller 01 in the process that at least one lever mechanism 04 rotates around the support 05. That is, each conveyor 02 will correspond to a pusher assembly 082 to push the items on the conveyor 02. Thus, in some cases, if there are two articles on the conveying mechanisms 02 at the same time, the two articles to be dropped can be pushed to drop simultaneously by the pushing assemblies 082 respectively corresponding to each other, so that the efficiency is higher.

In some embodiments, the width of the conveying surfaces of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is equal, and the central axes of the conveying surfaces of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 in the conveying direction are on the same line. In other words, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 are regularly arranged, and thus, the goods on the conveying mechanisms 02 can be conveyed better. For example, assuming that the width of the conveying surfaces of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is not equal, there may be a case where the article on the previous conveying mechanism 02 cannot be conveyed onto the next conveying mechanism 02, and even a case where the article rolls off from the conveying mechanism 02 during the conveyance from the previous conveying mechanism 02 to the next conveying mechanism 02.

In the embodiment of the application, since one side of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is mounted on one side of the bracket 05 through the corresponding lifting mechanism 11, the other side of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 is mounted on the other side of the bracket 05 through the rotating shaft, the plurality of weighing modules 10 are respectively mounted on the corresponding conveying mechanisms 02, and the controller 01 is used for controlling the lifting mechanism 11 corresponding to any conveying mechanism 02 to lift so as to enable the goods on any conveying mechanism 02 to fall when the weight of the goods on any conveying mechanism 02 is determined to meet the requirement, so that the warehouse sorting equipment has the function of sorting the goods meeting the weight. Because the goods on the last conveying mechanism 02 of the two adjacent conveying mechanisms 02 can be conveyed to the next conveying mechanism 02 along the conveying direction, the warehouse sorting equipment can group the goods on the plurality of conveying mechanisms 02 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanisms 02 according to weight, and the weight of the goods in each group is equal, namely, the function of automatically sorting the goods with equal weight is completed, so that the labor intensity of personnel can be greatly reduced.

The embodiment of the application provides a warehouse sorting system, which can comprise one warehouse sorting device provided by the application or another warehouse sorting device.

In some embodiments, the warehouse sorting system may further include a conveying device and a packing device, the conveying device may be configured to collect the equally-regrouped articles at the plurality of lanes 06 and transfer the equally-regrouped articles to the packing device. The packaging device may be located at the delivery end of the delivery device and is configured to automatically package the goods at the delivery end of the delivery device. Thus, the function of automatically packaging after automatically waiting for the re-grouping of the goods is completed.

In other embodiments, for the scenario that the pipelining operation exists, there is often a situation that the goods are already on the pipeline in the previous process, in this case, the pipeline in the previous process may be directly connected to one warehouse sorting device or another warehouse sorting device provided by the present application, so as to complete the function of the full-automatic operation. For example, the warehouse sorting equipment or the other warehouse sorting equipment provided by the application is used for carrying out equal-weight grouping on apples, and if the cleaning operation of the apples is carried out in a cleaning flow line in the previous working procedure, the cleaning flow line and the warehouse sorting equipment or the other warehouse sorting equipment provided by the application can be subjected to connection operation, and obviously, the function of full-automatic operation can be realized through the connection operation.
