Background
Express delivery parcel can use the conveyer belt system to carry out the automatic sorting of goods when letter sorting, uses the conveyer belt system to replace artifically, improvement goods letter sorting's efficiency by a wide margin. The conveying belt system comprises a piece feeding system, a single-code conveying scanning system, a sorting system, a revolution conveying belt and a control system, wherein the revolution conveying belt consists of distribution conveying belts which are connected in sequence, and the movement direction of the distribution conveying belts is perpendicular to the revolution conveying belt. Because of the limited size of the field and the need for process location, the conveyor system is spiraled in the plant, and therefore many bends are provided in the revolving conveyor. Under the condition that the revolution conveyor belt is transported at a high speed, if the packages are positioned at the outer edge of the curve of the revolution conveyor belt, the goods can be thrown out of the track due to centrifugal force, and the problem of package loss is caused. If the parcels are too far forward or too far back on the distribution unit conveyor on the revolving conveyor, sorting errors or jamming of larger parcels may occur.
Normally, to avoid that the conveyor belt transporting the articles is placed too close to the edge, the correction can be made by a vision system cooperating with the correction device. The belts of currently used conveyor systems are typically of a single color. The color of the package is five-flower eight, if the color of the package is the same as or similar to that of the conveyor belt, the detection of the visual system can be influenced, the situation that the edge cannot be judged is caused, and the visual system cannot be applied to solve the problem.
