Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a delivery device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, the shipment device may include: the automatic material conveying device comprises a goods shelf 1, one or more conveying mechanisms 2, one or more groups of hooks 3, a material blocking mechanism 4 and a controller, wherein each conveying mechanism 2 corresponds to one group of hooks 3; each conveying mechanism 2 of the one or more conveying mechanisms 2 is fixed on the goods shelf 1, each conveying mechanism 2 is electrically connected with the controller, and each conveying mechanism 2 can rotate under the control of the controller; every group couple 3 all sets up on the transport mechanism 2 that corresponds, and every group couple 3 all is used for hanging the goods, has at least one couple that can move towards stock stop 4 in every group couple 3, and stock stop 4 can make the goods that hang on every group couple 3 drop when every transport mechanism 2 rotates.

In this application embodiment, when every transport mechanism 2 of controller control rotates, and then drives at least one couple 3 in every group couple 3 that sets up on corresponding transport mechanism 2 and begin to move towards stock stop 4, it is difficult to see out, and the goods that hang on this at least one couple 3 also can move towards stock stop 4 along with every transport mechanism 2's rotation. Next, when goods and stock stop 4 contact, and transport mechanism 2 continues to rotate, stock stop 4 can stop goods and follow transport mechanism 2 and continue to rotate, and then make every group couple 3 on the goods that hang drop, also promptly, realized the automatic shipment of goods. In addition, it can be understood that for some goods with larger appearance and thinner appearance, the space can be saved by hanging the goods on one or more groups of hooks 3, in other words, a larger number of goods can be hung on the delivery device, so as to reduce the replenishment frequency of replenishment personnel and further reduce the labor intensity of the replenishment personnel.

Different usage scenarios may have different operating logic when in use. For example, in a vending scenario, assume that the shipping device is used to vend spicy bars. The possible operating logic is then: first, the restocker can hang the peppery strip on one or more sets of hooks 3. Next, assuming that the controller receives order information sent by the user, the order information indicates that 2 spicy strips need to be shipped, at this time, the controller can control the conveying mechanism 2 to drive at least one hook 3 of a group of hooks 3 suspended with spicy strips to move towards the material blocking mechanism 4 based on the order information, after a first spicy strip pack falls under the rotating action of the material blocking mechanism 4 and the conveying mechanism 2, the controller can control the conveying mechanism 2 to continue to move towards the material blocking mechanism 4 until a second spicy strip pack also falls, and thus, a shipment task of 2 spicy strips is realized.

In the scenario of transporting items, assuming that a batch of peppers needs to be transported from a first location to a second location, the possible operating logic is: the delivery device may first be positioned between the first position and the second position and comprise a transport mechanism having a transport direction which is the same as the direction in which the first position points to the second position. Thereafter, the peppery strip can be hung on one or more groups of hooks 3 at the first position, so that the hung peppery strip can fall off at the second position, namely, the conveying task of the peppery strip is realized.

The use scenes of the shipment device are only two possible use scenes shown in the embodiment of the present application, and of course, the shipment device may also be used in other possible scenes, and the use scene of the shipment device is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Wherein, can hang the same goods on every group couple 3, also can hang different goods, this application embodiment does not do specific injecing to this, for example, this shipment device includes 2 couples of couple, is first group's couple and second group's couple respectively, so, all can hang peppery strip on first group's couple and the second group's couple, perhaps hangs peppery strip on first group hangs the back, hangs melon seed on the couple of second group, this application embodiment does not do specific injecing to this. In addition, the same goods can be hung on the same group of hooks 3, and different goods can also be hung on the same group of hooks, and the embodiment is continued, and the first group of hooks comprises two hooks, namely a hook A and a hook B. In a scene, A couple and B couple all can hang peppery strip, and in another kind of scene, the A couple can hang peppery strip, and the B couple can hang melon seed, and this application embodiment does not do specific restriction to this yet.

In some embodiments, the angle between the conveying direction of each conveyor 2 and the depth direction of the rack 1 may be 0 degrees, in other words, the conveying direction of each conveyor 2 and the depth direction of the rack 1 will be parallel, which is more favorable for the striker 4 to cause the goods suspended on each set of hooks 3 to fall off when each conveyor 2 rotates. Of course, the included angle between the conveying direction of each conveying mechanism 2 and the depth direction of the shelf 1 may also be other numerical values, for example, 10 degrees, 20 degrees, or 30 degrees, and the like, and it is only necessary that the material blocking mechanism 4 can cause the goods suspended on each group of hooks 3 to drop when each conveying mechanism 2 rotates, and this embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

For convenience of description, in conjunction with the shipment apparatus shown in fig. 1, the depth direction of the rack 1 is a direction parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2. Of course, based on different application scenarios, the depth direction of the shelf 1 may also be other directions, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Each of the one or more conveying mechanisms 2 may be fixed to the shelf 1 by a screw, or may be fixed to the shelf 1 by another method, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, each group of hooks 3 can be disposed on the corresponding conveying mechanism 2 in a buckling manner, or can be disposed on the corresponding conveying mechanism 2 in other manners, for example, by being adhered by glue or disposed on the conveying mechanism 2 through a rotating shaft, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

When every couple in every group couple 3 sets up on corresponding transport mechanism 2 through the mode of pivot, can understand, along with transport mechanism 2's rotation, the couple has two kinds of possible states, in the first state, when the couple is located transport mechanism 2 under, the couple presents the state of "stretching" under the effect of gravity, along with transport mechanism 2's rotation, when the couple is located transport mechanism 2 under, the couple is under the effect of gravity, can be rotatory round the pivot, and then "lie prone" transport mechanism 2, under this kind of state, the couple will occupy less space in the direction of height of goods shelves 1, play the effect in the space of saving goods shelves 1.

In a scenario, the material blocking mechanism 4 may be fixed to the shelf 1 by a screw, or may be fixed to the shelf 1 by another method, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. In another scenario, the material blocking mechanism 4 may be fixed to the conveying mechanism 2 by screws, or may be fixed to the conveying mechanism 2 by other methods, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

It can be known from the above description that the stock stop 4 can be fixed on the goods shelf 1, also can be fixed on the conveying mechanism 2, that is, only need the stock stop 4 can make the goods that hang on every group couple 3 drop can, this application embodiment does not do specific restriction to the fixed position of stock stop 4.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, one or more conveyors 2 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the rack 1, and the striker 4 may include a striker rod 41, and the striker rod 41 can urge the goods suspended on each set of hooks 3 to drop off when each conveyor 2 rotates.

In this way, one striker rod 41 can simultaneously correspond to one or more transfer mechanisms 2 and can cause the falling of the goods suspended on each group of hooks 3. For example, when the number of the transfer mechanisms 2 is 2, one striker rod 41 may correspond to 2 transfer mechanisms 2 at the same time, and obviously, when 2 transfer mechanisms 2 rotate towards the striker rod 41 at the same time, the one striker rod 41 can simultaneously urge the goods suspended on 2 groups of hooks 3 on the 2 transfer mechanisms 2 to drop.

For convenience of description, in conjunction with the shipment apparatus shown in fig. 2, the width direction of the shelf 1 is a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2. Of course, based on different application scenarios, the width direction of the shelf 1 may also be other directions, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 3, one or more delivery mechanisms 2 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the shelf 1, and the striker 4 may include one or more striker rods 41, each striker rod 41 corresponds to one delivery mechanism 2, and each striker rod 41 can cause the goods suspended on the corresponding set of hooks 3 to fall off when the corresponding delivery mechanism 2 rotates. Thus, one striker rod 41 corresponds to one conveying mechanism 2, and can cause the goods suspended on the corresponding set of hooks 3 to fall.

In still other embodiments, referring to fig. 3, one or more conveyors 2 are arranged along the width direction and the height direction of the rack 1, and the striker 4 may include one or more striker rods 41, each striker rod 41 corresponds to one or more conveyors 2 at the same height, and each striker rod 41 can cause the goods suspended on the corresponding one or more groups of hooks 3 to fall off when the one or more conveyors 2 at the same height rotate.

Wherein, in order to make the striker rod 41 better enable the goods suspended on the corresponding group of hooks 3 to fall off, in some embodiments, the straight line of the striker rod 41 may be perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2. Of course, the straight line where the material blocking rod 41 is located may not be perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2, and only the material blocking rod 41 needs to make the goods suspended on the corresponding group of hooks 3 drop, and this embodiment of the present application is not specifically limited to this.

When one or more transport mechanisms 2 are arranged in both the width direction and the height direction of the rack 1, in one possible arrangement, see fig. 4, the plurality of transport mechanisms may be divided into a plurality of groups of transport mechanisms, the plurality of groups of transport mechanisms being arranged in the height direction of the rack 1, at least one transport mechanism included in each group of transport mechanisms being arranged in the width direction of the rack 1; the projection of the hooks on the first group of conveying mechanisms in the two adjacent groups of conveying mechanisms on the horizontal plane and the projection of the hooks on the second group of conveying mechanisms on the horizontal plane do not have an overlapping part; the stock stop includes one or more stock stop, and every stock stop corresponds a set of transport mechanism, and every stock stop can make the goods that hang on a set of transport mechanism's that corresponds couple drop when a set of transport mechanism that corresponds rotates.

With respect to the fact that there is no overlapping portion between the projection of the hooks on the first set of transport mechanisms and the projection of the hooks on the second set of transport mechanisms in the two adjacent sets of transport mechanisms in the horizontal plane, it can be understood that: the hooks of the first group of conveying mechanisms and the hooks of the second group of conveying mechanisms are arranged in a staggered mode.

For example, in one scenario, it is assumed that the first group of transport mechanisms includes an a transport mechanism and a B transport mechanism, which are sequentially arranged in the width direction of the rack 1, and the second group of transport mechanisms includes a C transport mechanism, which is located directly below the a transport mechanism and the B transport mechanism, and a projection of the C transport mechanism on the horizontal plane is located in a gap between projections of the a transport mechanism and the B transport mechanism on the horizontal plane. The hooks of the first set of transport mechanisms can then be considered to be "staggered" from the hooks of the second set of transport mechanisms.

Furthermore, in a possible 'dislocation' arrangement mode, the hook on the C conveying mechanism can be positioned in a gap between the A conveying mechanism and the B conveying mechanism, so that the interference between the hook on the C conveying mechanism and the A conveying mechanism and the B conveying mechanism is avoided, and meanwhile, the distance between the C conveying mechanism and the A conveying mechanism and the distance between the C conveying mechanism and the B conveying mechanism in the height direction of the goods shelf 1 can also be reduced, so that more groups of conveying mechanisms can be distributed in the height direction of the goods shelf 1, and the effect of saving the space of the goods shelf 1 is achieved.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, each set of hooks 3 may comprise: one or more hooks 3. One or more hooks 3 are arranged in sequence on the corresponding conveying mechanism 2 along the conveying direction, and each hook 3 of the one or more hooks 3 is used for hanging goods.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 5, one or more hooks 3 may also be arranged on the corresponding transport mechanism 2 in sequence, both in the transport direction and in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction, as will be illustrated below for ease of understanding.

Assuming that each set of hooks 3 includes 4 hooks 3, assuming that the 4 hooks 3 are a first hook, a second hook, a third hook, and a fourth hook, respectively, then the first hook and the second hook may be sequentially disposed along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2 first, and thereafter, referring to fig. 5, the third hook may be disposed along any one of a plurality of positions perpendicular to the conveying direction and parallel to the first hook, and the fourth hook may be disposed along any one of a plurality of positions perpendicular to the conveying direction and parallel to the second hook. Make the straight line at first couple and third couple place parallel with striker rod 41, the straight line at second couple and fourth couple place parallel with striker rod 41, like this, can understand all hang the goods on first couple, second couple, third couple and the fourth couple, and when transport mechanism 2 rotated, striker rod 41 can make 2 goods drop simultaneously. Obviously, the shipment efficiency of the goods can be increased.

It should be noted that, based on the above description, the material blocking rod 41 may also simultaneously cause other quantities of goods to drop through different setting modes of the hooks 3, for example, multiple hooks 3 may be sequentially arranged at multiple positions perpendicular to the conveying direction and parallel to the first hook, and then, the material blocking rod 41 may simultaneously cause multiple goods to drop, and the number of the multiple hooks 3 is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It is to be noted that the opening direction of each hook 3 and the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2 may be reversed in order to allow the goods to smoothly drop from each hook 3. Of course, in some embodiments, the opening direction of each hook 3 may not be opposite to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2, and it is only necessary that the material blocking rod 41 can promote the goods on each hook 3 to fall off, which is not specifically limited by the embodiment of the present application.

Wherein, referring to fig. 6, each hook 3 may comprise: a pull rod 31 and an open suspension loop 32. A first end of the pull rod 31 is fixed on the conveying mechanism 2, a second end of the pull rod 31 is connected with an open type hanging ring 32, and the open type hanging ring 32 is used for hanging goods.

It should be noted that the first end of the pull rod 31 may be disposed on the transmission mechanism 2 in a snap-fit manner, or may be disposed on the transmission mechanism 2 in other manners, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, the second end of the pull rod 31 may be connected to the open-type suspension loop 32 by welding, or may be connected to the open-type suspension loop 32 by other methods, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.

When the second end of the pull rod 31 is connected with the open type hanging ring 32 in a welding manner, a weld scar may exist at the joint of the second end of the pull rod 31 and the open type hanging ring 32, and it can be understood that the weld scar can make the hook 3 unsmooth, and the material blocking mechanism 4 is influenced to make goods hung on the open type hanging ring 32 fall off. Based on this, in order that the striker 4 can more smoothly cause the goods suspended on the open type hanging ring 32 to drop, further, the pull rod 31 and the open type hanging ring 32 may be integrally formed, and the striker 4 can cause the goods on the open type hanging ring 32 to drop when each of the conveyors 2 rotates.

It should be noted that the material of the pull rod 31 and the open-type hanging ring 32 may be stainless steel, and of course, the material of the pull rod 31 and the open-type hanging ring 32 may also be other materials, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In the process of shipment by the shipment device, after the first goods drop, the controller can control the conveying mechanism 2 to drive the next goods to move towards the stock stop mechanism 4, wherein the first goods refers to the goods closest to the stock stop 41.

However, in some embodiments, there may be instances where the first item fails to be shipped. Based on this, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, the shipment device may further include: one or more item detectors 5, one transport mechanism 2 for each item detector 5; every goods detector 5 is fixed on corresponding transport mechanism 2, and every goods detector 5 all is connected with the controller electricity, and every goods detector 5 is arranged in detecting every couple 3 of a set of hook 3 that corresponds and goes up the goods that hangs and whether drop.

Like this, just can detect whether first goods drop through goods detector 5, when goods detector 5 detects first goods and does not drop, the controller can control transport mechanism 2 and remove first distance along the direction of keeping away from stock stop 4, later, the controller can control transport mechanism 2 and remove towards stock stop 4's direction to make stock stop 4 make first goods drop once more. After article detector 5 detected that first article dropped, the controller can control transport mechanism 2 to remove towards the direction of stock stop 4 to make next article drop under transport mechanism 2 and stock stop 4's effect.

It is noted that the first distance is a distance that enables the first article to be returned to the striker 4 so that the striker 4 causes the first article to drop again.

It will be appreciated that since the item detector 5 is used to detect whether an item has dropped, in some embodiments, the item detector 5 may be fixed proximate to where the item has dropped. The position at which the goods are dropped is fixed for the transfer mechanism 2, and therefore the position of the goods detector 5 should also be fixed, based on which, in some embodiments, the goods detector 5 may be fixed on a rack plate 21 included in the transfer mechanism 2, see fig. 5. Of course, goods detector 5 can also fix other positions department, only need satisfy goods detector 5 can detect whether goods drop can, this application embodiment does not do specific restriction to this.

Next, the present embodiment will briefly explain the principle of the article detector 5 detecting whether or not the article suspended on each hook 3 falls.

In some embodiments, the goods detector 5 can be understood as two correlation sensors, and the goods are hung in the middle positions of the two correlation sensors, so that it can be understood that when the goods do not fall, the two correlation sensors cannot detect the signals of the other side due to the separation effect of the goods, and at the moment, the goods can be considered not to fall. After goods dropped, because there was not the separation of goods between two correlation sensors, can realize the correlation, and then detected the signal of other side, at this moment, can think that the goods has dropped.

Of course, it should be noted that the goods detector 5 may also be a proximity switch or other components capable of detecting whether the first goods fall, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.

It should be noted that the goods detector 5 may be fixed to the conveying mechanism 2 by screws, or may be fixed to the conveying mechanism 2 by other methods, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In this application embodiment, when every transport mechanism 2 of controller control rotates, and then drives the setting and when every group couple 3 on corresponding transport mechanism 2 in at least one couple begin to move towards stock stop 4, it is difficult to see out, and the goods that hang on this at least one couple also can move towards stock stop 4 along with every transport mechanism 2's rotation. Next, when goods and stock stop 4 contact, and transport mechanism 2 continues to rotate, stock stop 4 can stop goods and follow transport mechanism 2 and continue to rotate, and then make every group couple 3 on the goods that hang drop, also promptly, realized the automatic shipment of goods. In addition, it can be understood that for some goods with larger appearance and thinner appearance, the space can be saved by hanging the goods on one or more groups of hooks 3, in other words, a large number of goods can be hung on the delivery device, so that the replenishment frequency of replenishment personnel can be reduced, and the labor intensity of the replenishment personnel is further reduced.

To sum up, the shipment device that this application embodiment provided can also reduce replenishment personnel's replenishment frequency when can automatic shipment, reduces replenishment personnel's intensity of labour.
