In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more unless specifically defined otherwise.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4 together, a sorting and loading system according to the present invention will now be described. The invention provides a sorting and loading system, which comprises: the loading line 10, the loading port 20, the conveying mechanism 30 and the logistics channel 50. The loading line 10 is disposed on the platform 100, for example, the loading line can be erected on the platform 100 through a support pillar, so that the lower portion of the loading line 10 can be used as the logistics channel 50, the space is effectively saved, and the utilization efficiency of the space is improved. In the embodiment, the platform 100 and the loading opening 20 have a height difference, so that not only the loading operation of the cargos can be facilitated, but also the vehicle can only run at a specified position at the loading opening 20 due to the height difference, and the vehicle cannot run into the platform 100 to cause traffic disorder. Specifically, the loading opening 20 is disposed at one side of the loading line 10, and a loading position retaining position 21 and a loading position retaining position 22 are disposed at the loading opening 20. The loading line 10 is used for directly conveying the first package 61 and the second package 62 of the unloading port 200 to the loading clamping position 21 and the loading cage clamping position 22 at the loading port 20, so that the conveying efficiency can be effectively improved, and the problem of low working efficiency caused by manual conveying is avoided. A first blanking chute 11 for blanking the first wrapping 61 and a second blanking chute 12 for blanking the second wrapping 62 are respectively arranged at two sides of the loading line 10. As shown in fig. 5, one end of the conveying mechanism 30 is connected to the first unloading chute 11, and the other end of the conveying mechanism extends into the loading block 21, so that the first package 61 unloaded from the first unloading chute 11 falls into the loading block 21, and the purpose of directly loading the first package 61 is fulfilled. Preferably, the conveying mechanism 30 may be a telescopic belt conveyor. The first package 61 and the second package 62 refer to regular packages, such as packages with regular shapes, sizes or moderate weights, which can be directly placed on the loading line 10 for transmission. And the first package 61 is a package which can be directly loaded, and is transmitted from the unloading port through the loading line 10 and enters the loading position-locking position 21. The second parcel 62 then carries out the parcel of transfer for the whole cage of needs, and it is transmitted the cage car that is located second unloading spout 12 below from the mouth of unloading through loading line 10 and carries out whole cage loading again to can select directly the transfer or whole cage transfer as required, thereby can improve transfer efficiency.

The logistics channel 50 is arranged below the loading line 10, so that the space is effectively saved, and the utilization efficiency of the space is improved. The material flow channel 50 is respectively communicated with the unloading port 200, the loading clamping position 21 and the cage clamping position 22. As shown in fig. 6, the cage car 40 can move along the material flow passage 50 to the lower side of the second discharging chute 12 to receive the second parcel 62 discharged from the second discharging chute 12 and move to the cage-loading position 22, so as to achieve the purpose of transferring the whole cage. As shown in fig. 7, one cage 40 can be loaded with a plurality of second packages 62, so that the transfer efficiency can be effectively improved, and the breakage rate of the express delivery can be reduced.

As shown in fig. 8, the logistics channel 50 is also used for stocking the cages 40 loaded with the second parcels 62, and the second parcels 62 which do not need to be transferred immediately can be stocked in the whole cages at the preset positions of the logistics channel 50, so that the problem of low working efficiency of staff caused by the blockage of the channels between adjacent loading screens 21 due to the fact that goods are stored at the edge of the platform 100 in the prior art is solved.

As shown in fig. 9, the material flow passage 50 is also used for transporting the third package of the unloading port 200 to the loading position 21 or the cage position 22. The third parcel refers to irregular parcels (such as irregular pieces, overlong pieces, oversized pieces, overweight pieces and the like) and parcels transferred in the whole cage, and the irregular parcels and the parcels transferred in the whole cage cannot be directly conveyed through the loading line 10, so that the irregular parcels and the parcels transferred in the whole cage need to be directly conveyed from the unloading port 200 to the loading port 20 for loading. When the third parcel is an irregular parcel, the irregular parcel reaches the loading position 21 along the logistics channel 50 to be loaded; when the third parcel is a whole-cage transfer parcel, the whole-cage transfer parcel arrives at the cage loading position 22 along the logistics channel 50 for loading, as shown in fig. 9, and 70 in fig. 9 represents a route between the whole-cage transfer parcel and the cage loading position 22 from the unloading port 200. Because this commodity circulation passageway 50's setting for the route between loading screens 21 or the dress cage screens 22 is clear and definite to the third parcel of unloading mouth 200, operating personnel only need along commodity circulation passageway 50 with the third parcel of unloading mouth 200 transport loading screens 21 or dress cage screens 22 can, avoid traffic jam, can effectively improve transfer efficiency.

Compared with the prior art, the sorting and loading system provided by the invention has the advantages that the loading clamping position 21 and the loading cage clamping position 22 are simultaneously arranged, so that the sorting system can simultaneously realize the direct loading operation of the packages and the loading operation of the whole cage, can select according to the transfer requirement of the packages, effectively improves the transfer efficiency, and avoids the problem of low transfer efficiency of the next link caused by sorting the packages in different flow directions to the same loading clamping position; in addition, the logistics channel 50 is arranged below the loading line 10, so that the transportation requirements of loading in a whole cage, stocking and transporting third packages from the unloading port to the loading port 20 can be met, and the utilization rate of the site is effectively improved.

Further, referring to fig. 3 and 4, as an embodiment of the sorting and loading system provided by the present invention, the material flow channel 50 includes a first transverse channel 51, a second transverse channel 52 and a longitudinal channel 53. The first transverse passage 51 is positioned on the side of the loading line 10 away from the loading opening 20 and is arranged in parallel with the loading line 10, and the first transverse passage 51 is used for moving the cage 40 and storing the cage 40 loaded with the second packages 62. Because the first transverse channel 51 is located at the side of the loading line 10 far away from the loading opening 20, when the first transverse channel 51 is used for stocking cargos, the other loading operations cannot be hindered, and therefore the problem that in the prior art, due to the fact that cargos are stored at the edge of the platform 100, the channel between the adjacent loading clamping positions 21 is blocked, and further the working efficiency of workers is low can be effectively solved.

The longitudinal channel 53 is perpendicular to the loading line 10, and is communicated with the first transverse channel 51, the second transverse channel 52 and the cage stopper 22, so that the cage 40 can move to the lower part of the second discharging chute 12 and the cage 40 can move to the cage stopper 22 or the first transverse channel 51. The cage 40 can reach the lower part of the second blanking chute 12 along the longitudinal channel 53 to receive materials, and can reach the cage clamping position 22 along the longitudinal channel 53 to realize the whole cage loading operation, and can also reach the first transverse channel 51 along the longitudinal channel 53 to realize the purpose of temporarily storing cargos, and when the cage 40 loaded with the second packages and stored on the first transverse channel 51 needs to be subjected to the whole cage loading, the cage 40 loaded with the second packages and stored on the first transverse channel 51 can be transported to the cage clamping position 22 only along the longitudinal channel 53, so that the purpose of carrying out the whole cage loading on the stored second packages 62 is realized.

The second transverse passage 52 is located right below the loading line 10 and is parallel to the loading line 10, the unloading port 200 is respectively communicated with the first transverse passage 51 and the second transverse passage 52, and the second transverse passage 52 and the loading position-locking portion 21 are respectively communicated with the longitudinal passage 53. When the third package of the unloading port 200 needs to be transported to the loading position, the third package can be transported to the loading position through the first transverse passage 51 and the longitudinal passage 53 for loading, or the third package can be transported to the loading position through the second transverse passage 52 and the longitudinal passage 53 for loading. When the third package needs to be transported to the caging position, the third package can be transported to the caging position for loading through the first transverse channel 51 and the longitudinal channel 53, or the third package can be transported to the caging position for loading through the second transverse channel 52 and the longitudinal channel 53. The route is very clear and definite, and the working efficiency can be effectively improved. And because the first transverse channel 51 and the second transverse channel 52 are both communicated with the unloading port 200, the third package can be transported by the first transverse channel 51 or the second transverse channel 52 according to actual needs, and the transportation is very convenient.

Further, referring to fig. 10, as an embodiment of the sorting and loading system provided by the present invention, the distance between the bottom surface of the first transverse passage 51, the second transverse passage 52 and the longitudinal passage 53 and the top surface of the passage needs to be greater than the height of the cage 40. Since the cage 40 needs to move on the first transverse channel 51, the second transverse channel 52 and the longitudinal channel 53, it is necessary to ensure that the distance H1 from the channel bottom surface to the channel top surface of the first transverse channel 51, the second transverse channel 52 and the longitudinal channel 53 is greater than the height of the cage 40, otherwise the cage 40 cannot pass through. And because the second cross passage 52 is located right below the loading line 10, in order to avoid the mutual interference between the second cross passage 52 and the loading line 10, the distance H1 from the passage bottom surface of the second cross passage 52 to the passage top surface must be smaller than the height H2 of the loading line 10. Specifically, in the embodiment, the height of the cage 40 is 1600mm-2000mm, the height H2 of the loading line 10 is 3100mm, when the height of the cage 40 is 1600mm, the distance between the bottom surface of the first transverse channel 51, the bottom surface of the second transverse channel 52, and the top surface of the longitudinal channel 53 to the top surface of the channel needs to be greater than 1600mm, and the distance between the bottom surface of the second transverse channel 52 to the top surface of the channel needs to be less than 3100 mm. When the height of the cage 40 is 2000mm, the distance between the channel bottom surface of the first transverse channel 51, the channel top surface of the second transverse channel 52 and the channel top surface of the longitudinal channel 53 is more than 2000 mm. Preferably, the distance between the bottom surface of the first transverse channel 51, the second transverse channel 52 and the longitudinal channel 53 to the top surface of the channel is 2300 mm. It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the cage 40 smoothly passes through the first transverse passage 51, the second transverse passage 52 and the longitudinal passage 53, the widths of the first transverse passage 51, the second transverse passage 52 and the longitudinal passage 53 are required to be larger than the width of the cage 40. When the width of the cage 40 is 900mm, the width of the first transverse channel 51, the width of the second transverse channel 52 and the width of the longitudinal channel 53 are more than 900 mm.

Further, as an embodiment of the sorting and loading system provided by the present invention, the sorting and loading system further includes an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) cart (not shown) for transporting the cage 40, wherein the AGV cart transports the empty cage 40 along the longitudinal passage 53 to the lower side of the second discharging chute 12 and transports the cage 40 loaded with the second parcel 62 to the cage position 22 or stores the cage 40 in the first transverse passage 51. Through the setting of AGV dolly for this cage car 40 can realize automatic transport, has avoided needing artifical transport cage car 40 to lead to the problem that work is powerful and work efficiency is low.

Further, as a specific embodiment of the sorting and loading system provided by the present invention, the sorting and loading system further includes a forklift (not shown) for transporting the third parcel at the unloading port to the loading position 21, wherein when the third parcel is an irregular parcel, the irregular parcel at the unloading port 200 is transported to the loading position 21 by using the forklift, so as to avoid the problems of labor intensity and low working efficiency caused by manual transportation. It should be noted that the distance between the bottom surfaces of the first transverse channel 51 and the second transverse channel 52 and the top surface of the channel needs to be greater than the height of the forklift, and since the forklift needs to move on the first transverse channel 51 and the second transverse channel 52, the distance between the bottom surfaces of the first transverse channel 51 and the second transverse channel 52 and the top surface of the channel needs to be greater than the height of the forklift, so that the forklift can pass through the channel smoothly, otherwise, the forklift cannot pass through the channel. Specifically, the width of the forklift is generally 1500mm to 2000mm, when the width of the forklift is 1500mm, the width of the first transverse channel 51 and the second transverse channel 52 needs to be greater than 1500mm, and when the width of the forklift is 2000mm, the width of the first transverse channel 51 and the second transverse channel 52 needs to be greater than 2000 mm. Preferably, the width of the first cross channel 51 and the second cross channel 52 is 3000mm, which can satisfy the smooth passing of forklifts with different sizes.

Further, referring to fig. 4, as a specific implementation manner of the sorting and loading system provided by the present invention, the sorting and loading system further includes a boarding bridge 80 connected to the cage position-locking mechanism 22 for allowing the cage 40 to enter the cage position-locking mechanism 22. Because the platform 100 and the cage-loading position 22 are not on the same horizontal plane, the cage truck 40 can directly enter the cage-loading position 22 through the arrangement of the dock leveler 80, and the operation of loading the whole cage is realized.

Further, as a specific implementation manner of the sorting and loading system provided by the present invention, the sorting and loading system further includes a control system, and the control system is configured to determine that the package is the first package 61 or the second package 62 according to the received package information, and control the first package 61 to be discharged from the first discharging chute 11 or the second package 62 to be discharged from the second chute, so that an automatic discharging operation can be implemented according to the package information, the work efficiency and the accuracy are effectively improved, and the problems of low work efficiency and high error rate caused by manual judgment are avoided.

Further, as shown in fig. 4, as an embodiment of the sorting and loading system provided by the present invention, a balance 13 is disposed on the loading line 10, and a swing direction of the balance 13 faces the first discharging chute 11 or the second discharging chute 12, so as to achieve diversion. Specifically, the control system determines that the parcel is the first parcel 61, and when the first parcel 61 moves onto the balance wheel 13, the control system controls the balance wheel 13 to rotate towards the first unloading chute 11, and at this time, the first parcel 61 can fall into the first unloading chute 11. The control system determines that the parcel is a second parcel 62, and when the second parcel 62 moves onto the balance wheel 13, the control system controls the balance wheel 13 to rotate towards the second feeding chute 12, and at this time, the second parcel 62 can fall into the second feeding chute 12.

Further, as a specific embodiment of the sorting and loading system provided by the present invention, the first package 61 and the second package 62 on the loading line 10 are respectively provided with an identity tag (not shown), and the identity tags carry package information. The package information comprises information such as a recipient address, a recipient, delivery time and the like. An identity recognition device (not shown) is arranged on the loading line 10, and the identity recognition device is electrically connected with the control system and used for recognizing the identity tag to obtain the package information and sending the package information to the control system. Through the setting of identification means, can discern the parcel automatically and be first parcel 61 or second parcel 62 to can realize the letter sorting of different flow directions. For example, when packages in different regions need to be separated, package information can be acquired through the identification device, the control system receives the package information and identifies the recipient address, and confirms the packages with the same recipient address as the packages in the same flow direction, and controls the flow out of the first discharging chute 11 or the second discharging chute 12. Specifically, this identity label is the two-dimensional code, and this identity recognition device sets up to two-dimensional code scanning device, and when the parcel passed through two-dimensional code scanning device, two-dimensional code scanning device scanned the two-dimensional code, obtained parcel information.

Referring to fig. 11, the present invention further provides a loading method, which is applied to the sorting and loading system, and includes the following steps:

s10, judging whether the package on the loading line is a first package needing loading or a second package needing caging; if the first parcel is the first parcel, the first parcel enters a loading position from the first unloading chute through the transmission mechanism; and if the second package is the second package, discharging the second package from the second discharging chute to fall into the cage car below the second discharging chute.

The operation of judging whether the package is the first package needing to be loaded or the second package needing to be caged can be judged through manual judgment or through a control system. In order to realize automatic operation and effectively improve the working efficiency and the accuracy, the control system preferably performs automatic judgment. The "second parcel is fed from the second feed chute" operation can be manually fed to avoid damage to the second parcel.
