Alternatively, the detection mechanism 400 may determine whether a second package is on the weigh segment 200. Specifically, detect the second parcel as first time point with detecting structure, first time point plus the time that the second parcel required through section 200 of weighing is the second time point, detect to put first parcel as the third time point on putting the package station with parcel detection sensor 101, regard as the fourth time point with the third time point plus the time that the first parcel passes section 100 of putting the package. Judging whether a second package exists on the weighing section 200 or not by comparing the sequence of the second time point and the fourth time point, and if the second time point is smaller than the fourth time point, determining that the weighing section 200 does not have the second package; if the second time point is greater than or equal to the fourth time point, the weighing section 200 has a second parcel.
Alternatively, the detection mechanism 400 and the high-precision encoders disposed on the driving motors of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism may be used to determine whether the weighing section 200 has the second parcel. Specifically, the detection structure detects a second parcel as a first time point, the detection structure detects a first parcel as a second time point, the high-precision encoder is used for obtaining the distance S transmitted between the two time points by the second transmission mechanism, and if S is greater than the transmission length L2 of the weighing section 200, the weighing section 200 has no second parcel; if S is less than or equal to the conveying length L2 of the weighing section 200, there is a second package on the weighing section 200.
Example two
The present embodiment provides a goods supplying table and a supplying method of a sorting machine, and the present embodiment only differs from the first embodiment in the selection of the weighing method in S3 of the supplying method.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the weighing mechanism of the weighing section 200 selects a weighing manner, and weighing the first package specifically includes the following steps:
the second conveying mechanism continues to convey at a first speed V1, and the weighing mechanism dynamically weighs the first package;
judging whether a third parcel is on the upper parcel section 300;
if yes, the second transmission mechanism decelerates to 0;
if not, the second transmission mechanism accelerates to a second speed V2 for transmission.
EXAMPLE III
The present embodiment provides a goods supply platform and a goods supply method for a sorting machine, and the present embodiment is substantially the same as the implementation of the present embodiment except for the goods supply method.
As shown in fig. 5, the difference of the supply method is that:
when the second conveying mechanism of the weighing section 200 abuts the first package in the first direction at the first speed V1, the method of supplying further comprises the steps of:
the detection mechanism 400 at the junction of the bale-placing segment 100 and the weighing segment 200 acquires the projected area and the center point of the first bale.
Since the end of the upper block 300 has the inclined connecting surface, the position where the parcel enters the upper block 300 is different, and the distance L3 transmitted on the upper block 300 is also different, and a specific L3 value can be calculated by obtaining the center position of the parcel using the sensing mechanism 400. And by acquiring the projected size of the parcel, it is convenient to calculate the time required for the parcel to pass through the weighing section 200 and the wrapping section 300 at a later stage.
Further, with continued reference to fig. 5, the control mechanism, while the detection mechanism 400 acquires the projected area and the center point of the first parcel, may further perform the following steps:
the control mechanism selects a sorting cart on the sorting line that matches the first parcel and calculates the total length of time T0 for the first parcel to pass through the weighing section 200 and the upper wrapping section 300.
T0 ═ S0/V0, S0 denotes the distance of the sorting car to reach the upper package stage 300, and V0 denotes the conveying speed of the sorting car.
Further, with reference to fig. 5, in this embodiment, the step S3 of selecting a weighing mode by the weighing mechanism of the weighing section 200, and weighing the first package specifically includes the following steps:
judging whether the sorting line is matched with the first wrapping sorting trolley or not;
if yes, the second conveying mechanism continues to convey at the first speed V1, and the weighing mechanism dynamically weighs the first package;
if not, the second transmission mechanism decelerates to 0, and the weighing mechanism performs static weighing on the first package.
In this embodiment, the sorting line is provided with a sorting trolley matched with the first parcel, the weighing mechanism selects dynamic weighing of the first parcel as an example, and how the control mechanism plans the transmission speed and the transmission time of the second transmission mechanism and the third transmission mechanism is simply introduced:
t0 ═ S0/V0 (r), S0 and V0 are both constant values;
T0=T1+T2+T3+T4②,T1>=Tweighing,T2>=0,T3>=0,T4>0;
L2 ═ T1 ═ V1+ T2 ═ V2, V1 and L2 are all constant values;
l3 ═ V2 × T3+ V3 × T4, L3 is a fixed value, and it can be directly obtained from the position of the center point of the first parcel obtained by the detection means 400;
v3 is V0/cos (alpha), V0 and alpha are both fixed values;
by the above formula and the limitation conditions, suitable T1, T2, T3, T4 and V2 can be deduced by using mathematical software.
In the present embodiment, V0 is 2 m/s; v1 ═ 1.1 m/s; v2 ═ 1.8 m/s; v3 ═ 2.3 m/s; a is 30 °.
Of course, in other embodiments, if the delivery step of the first package is changed, the above equations may be modified appropriately to derive the appropriate T1, T2, T3, T4, and V2 from the new equations after modification.
Example four
The present embodiment provides a goods supplying table and a goods supplying method of a sorting machine, and the present embodiment is different from the third embodiment only in the selection of the weighing mode in S3 in the goods supplying mode.
As shown in fig. 6, the weighing mechanism of the weighing section 200 selects a weighing mode, and the weighing of the first package specifically includes the following steps:
the second conveying mechanism continues to convey at a first speed V1, and the weighing mechanism dynamically weighs the first package;
judging whether the sorting line is matched with the first wrapping sorting trolley or not;
if yes, accelerating the second transmission mechanism to a second speed V2 for transmission;
if not, the second transmission mechanism decelerates to 0.
