The relative positioning is that the wireless signal detector positioned at the initial position of the conveyor belt identifies the initial position of the mail, and the online transmission real-time position calculation of the speed of the mail conveyor belt is carried out by combining the control system, so that the system can sense the position of the mail on the conveyor belt in real time, and position signals are provided for the subsequent foreign matter identification detector 8 and the sorting manipulator 9; then fuse the other infrared detector who is located letter sorting manipulator 9 and carry out absolute positioning's the perception that triggers to the mail, realize that the identity discernment of each letter and detection signal trigger, control and drive foreign matter discernment detector 8 carry out negative and positive detection of online mail, form the online signal queue of mail and detect the queue signal, realize that big queue mail risk sign detects in batches, including negative and positive detection.
In the embodiment, the international letters are automatically transmitted, the PLC signals are used as control drive, the servo motor is controlled to operate through the high-precision drive card, and the split type belt drive is driven, so that on one hand, when the foreign matter identification detection mechanism carries out envelope detection, the detection signals do not need to penetrate through the conveyor belt, and the signals are not interfered, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of identification; on the other hand, the high-precision servo transmission can be matched with the letter separating mechanism through autonomous calculation according to a PLC control signal output by the system and a set transmission speed, so that the stacked letters can be subjected to online detection according to specified transmission efficiency and transmission intervals. In addition, for the precision of guarantee conveying, adopt tractive formula belt drive installation mode, because the transmission band can relax gradually along with use intensity and time, the tensile formula tension structure of tractive can guarantee invariable tensile force, and then guarantee belt drive's stability and reliability.
Example five:
this embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, and is characterized in that:
each letter on the letter conveyer belt is sealed, and after foreign matter discernment detector 8, the letter falls into negative and positive two types, and letter sorting manipulator 9 snatchs only to positive letter, and negative letter is arranged in order to negative containing box along with letter conveyer belt 4. The accurate location of positive mail still adopts the strategy that absolute positioning and relative positioning combined together, through the leading infrared sensor of foreign matter discernment detection, absolute positioning mail online position, then calculates according to transfer rate, and positive mail can effectively be trailed to the foreign matter discernment detected signal that sorting system passed through the PLC feedback. The response time of the system is calculated through a large number of tests, the response time comprises the time of round-trip signal transmission, a system executing mechanism, PLC control processing and the like, the actual time from the time when a driver of the sorting mechanical arm 9 receives a positive letter signal to the time when the driver effectively grabs the letter is calculated by combining the response time of the sorting mechanical arm 9, the speed and the relative positioning of the on-line transmission of the letter are fed back, and the sorting system can effectively grab the letter. Snatch the structure and adopt pneumatic adsorption mode, can guarantee that single letter effectively snatchs when split type transmission band tiling is placed, this mode can guarantee that probably has different article in the envelope and leads to under the circumstances such as envelope surface unevenness, focus position randomness, still can effectively snatch the letter.
After the mail snatchs, robotic arm rotates according to setting for the angle, places positive mail sorting conveyer belt 10, and sorting conveyer belt 10 can be implemented according to sorting manipulator 9 and snatch positive mail signal, begins automatic conveying, carries it in the positive mail receiver.
Example six:
this embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, and is characterized in that:
in this embodiment, control integrated system includes switch board 23 and control panel 24, switch board 23 is responsible for letter from the central control of system, through bus technology and PLC control module, controls hardware modules such as 2 electronic jars of air supply, actuating mechanism, 4 motors of letter conveyer belt, letter sorting manipulator 9 to and relevant calculation, carry out letter transportation relative positioning and calculate. The bus adopts a Modbus protocol, inputs and outputs of infrared sensing signals, trigger signals, feedback signals and the like, and integrates PLC control signals to realize integrated control of a distributed hardware structure.
In this embodiment, the control panel 24 can display the system working state, including the project state, the letter sorting box 1, the rotary suction cup, the letter conveying belt 4 and the sorting manipulator 9, in the running or idle state; counting letter sorting quantity, including the state that the material allowance is sufficient or insufficient, total material counting, qualified material counting and unqualified material counting; the control panel is also provided with count clear 25, start 26, reset 27 buttons.
Through this control panel 24, the staff can the whole automatic letter sorting system of interactive control, carry out putting in order, transmission, discernment and the letter sorting of international mail according to the task demand.
As can be seen from the above, in the present invention, the mail in random accumulation is directly placed in the mail sorting box 1, and the driving mechanism 2 is used to swing the mail sorting box 1 back and forth and left and right, so that the mail in the sorting box is orderly stacked at the end close to the mail conveying belt 4. The orderly letters are pushed to the center of the front part of the letter sorting box 1 by a gear and rack mechanism. Letter separating mechanism work is done next, accomplishes letter from letter arrangement case 1 to letter conveyer belt 4's letter one-by-one letter sorting, and when the letter was through infrared sensor on the conveyer belt and during foreign matter discernment detector 8, the intelligence location and negative and positive sign of accomplishing the letter are to positive letter, and letter sorting manipulator 9 snatchs and transfers to on letter sorting conveyer belt 10. This letter arrangement sorting device simple structure, it is convenient to make, and design benefit can realize the big autonomic letter sorting of carrying out international letter in succession in batches of high efficiency, improves degree of automation.
