Some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
In some techniques, a sorting apparatus includes a feeder device through which goods are conveyed to a sorter and a sorter. A sorting machine, also known as a sorting conveyor, is a special conveying device for sorting and conveying products. Currently, there are many types of sorting machines, such as round sorting machines (also known as round seeders). The running speed of the circular sorting machine is 3000-3600 takt/h, and if the running speed of the circular sorting machine is further increased, the existing feeding device cannot be well matched with the circular sorting machine.
The specific reasons for the above problems are: the linear speed of the circular sorting machine mainly depends on the width of a trolley on the circular sorting machine and the time required by the feeding device for feeding; the time required for feeding the feeding device is dependent on the feeding speed of the circular sorting machine. If the feeding speed of the feeding device is higher, the kinetic energy of the goods entering the sorting station of the circular sorting machine is higher, and the larger kinetic energy can result in longer delivery distance of the goods. Therefore, on the premise of a certain cargo delivery distance, it is not feasible to simply increase the feeding speed of the feeding device.
The inventor researches a sorting device in order to alleviate the defects, improves the cargo delivery efficiency by realizing the equidirectional feeding, and alleviates the technical problem of lower sorting efficiency of the sorting device in the prior art. Next, the structure of the sorting apparatus will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the present embodiment provides a sorting apparatus, which includes a feeding device 100 and a sorting device 200, wherein the feeding device 100 includes a feeding main line 110, the sorting device 200 includes a sorting main line 210, the feeding main line 110 is used for conveying goods to the sorting main line 210, and the sorting main line 210 is used for conveying the goods to a set position; wherein, the conveying direction of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 is the same as the conveying direction of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210.
In the sorting apparatus provided in this embodiment, since the conveying direction of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 is the same as the conveying direction of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210, therefore, the relative speed between the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 and the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 will be reduced when the two are crossed, faced or reversed, therefore, the feeding speed of the main feeding line 110 can be properly increased, so that the feeding frequency of the main feeding line 110 in the same time is increased, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of the goods, correspondingly, the sorting speed of the sorting main line 210 can be properly increased, the sorting equipment can keep the relative speed of the feeding main line 110 and the sorting main line 210 unchanged before the speed is increased on the premise that the feeding speed of the two speeds are increased, or slightly higher than before the speed is not increased, to ensure that the goods on the supply main line 110 can be normally entered into the sorting main line 210.
It should be noted that, in some techniques, the feeding main line 110 and the sorting main line 210 are arranged at an angle (or cross), and the angle is designed to be an acute angle or a right angle. Taking the angle set as 90 ° as an example, specifically, the goods on the supply main line 110 have a first speed before transferring to the sorting main line 210 (the first speed is consistent with the speed of the supply main line 110), and the goods have a second speed after transferring to the sorting main line 210 (the second speed is consistent with the speed of the sorting main line 210), since the first speed is perpendicular to the second speed, the first speed and the second speed cannot be mutually offset, and thus the relative speed of the first speed and the second speed (the relative speed can also be understood as the relative moving speed of both the supply main line 110 and the sorting main line 210) can be regarded as the first speed of the goods, and if the first speed is set to be too large, the goods will have a large kinetic energy when transferring to the sorting main line 210, thereby being not beneficial to controlling the goods feeding distance.
In the sorting apparatus, referring to fig. 3, 4 or 5, the sorting device 200 includes a sorting mechanism 220, and the sorting mechanism 220 includes a plurality of sorting stations 221 and a driving mechanism for driving the sorting stations 221 to move; a plurality of sorting stations 221 are arranged at intervals along the sorting main line 210 and can move along the sorting main line 210 under the driving of the driving mechanism; the discharge end of the supply main line 110 can correspond to one of the sorting stations 221 of the sorting main line 210, so that the goods can be transferred from the discharge end of the supply main line 110 to the sorting station 221. It is clear to those skilled in the art that the drive mechanism is selected to match the layout of the sorting main line 210, and the detailed structure of the drive mechanism will not be described herein.
It should be noted that the sorting main line 210 can be understood as a multiple meaning, including a linear structure such as a rail or a conveyor belt, which can be laid by the sorting stations 221.
In consideration of the overall layout and sorting efficiency of the equipment, the sorting main line 210 may be configured in a linear shape or a curved shape, such as L type, U type, linear type, etc., and may also be configured in a closed loop shape, such as a circular, rectangular, or other irregular closed loop.
In this embodiment, the sorting mechanism 220 may have the following structure.
1) The first structural form of the sorting mechanism 220 is as follows: each sorting station 221 has a discharge opening (not shown in the drawings), a sorting conveyor assembly (not shown in the drawings) is arranged on the sorting station 221, and a first container (not shown in the drawings) is correspondingly arranged outside the sorting station 221 and is used for containing goods delivered through the discharge opening of the sorting station 221. Wherein, the position of the first container can be fixed relative to the ground.
Specifically, each sorting station 221 is provided with a first detecting element (not shown in the drawings) considering the automatic sorting of the sorting equipment, wherein the first detecting element and the sorting conveying assembly are controlled by a control device (such as P L C). The first detecting element of each sorting station 221 is bound with a first container, the first detecting element is used for detecting identification information (such as bar code information, two-dimensional code information or RFID labels and the like) on the goods when the goods are transferred to one of the sorting stations 221, sending the detected information to the control device, and the control device receiving the information and matching with a first container corresponding to the goods, when the sorting station 221 moves to the corresponding position of the first container, the sorting conveying assembly on the sorting station 221 conveys the goods into the first container to complete the sorting of the goods.
For example, the sorting mechanism 220 has 20 sorting stations 221, wherein each sorting station 221 corresponds to 1 first container; assuming that each sorting station 221 corresponds to a specific sorting position, a number is defined for each sorting position, such as position No. 1 and position No. 2 and position No. … 20 sequentially numbered according to the operation track of the sorting mechanism 220, wherein the sorting station 221 corresponding to the feeding end position of the sorting main line 210 corresponds to position No. 1.
Further, the sorting apparatus is further provided with a second detecting element (e.g., a photoelectric switch) for detecting in real time whether the goods are on the sorting station 221 corresponding to the position No. 1 (i.e., the position of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210). When one of the sorting stations 221 moves to the position No. 1, the second detection element detects the sorting station 221, and sends the detection result information to the control device, so that the control device can realize the overall control of the whole equipment.
It should be noted that the respective working principles of the first detecting element, the second detecting element, the sorting and conveying assembly and the control device and the working principles of the first detecting element, the second detecting element, the sorting and conveying assembly and the control device are well known to those skilled in the art, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted here.
The first structural form corresponds to the working process of the sorting equipment:
the staff puts the goods on the supply main line 110 according to the actual operation requirement, and orderly conveys the goods to the sorting main line 210 through the supply main line 110; when the second detection element detects that no goods exist on the sorting station 221 corresponding to the position No. 1, the control device controls the starting of the main feeding line 110 to convey the goods to the sorting station 221; when the second detection element detects that goods exist on the sorting station 221 corresponding to the position No. 1, the control device controls the main feeding line 110 to stop running; when the goods reach a certain sorting station 221, the goods conveyed to the sorting station 221 move along with the sorting mechanism 220, and when the goods are conveyed to the first containers corresponding to the goods, the sorting conveying assemblies on the sorting station 221 convey the goods into the corresponding first containers.
In some embodiments, the sorting conveying assembly is any one of a partition-free conveying belt, a partition conveying belt, a conveying roller, a tipping tray, and a tipping bucket, and the specific implementation manner is not limited as long as the cargo is conveyed to the first container.
2) The second structural form of the sorting mechanism 220 is as follows: the sorting mechanism 220 of this configuration is the same as the sorting mechanism 220 of the first configuration described above in that each sorting station 221 is provided with a first detecting element, and the sorting apparatus is further provided with a second detecting element, wherein the first detecting element and the second detecting element are controlled by the control device; the difference is that, in conjunction with fig. 2 and 3, a plurality of second containers 230 are provided below the sorting mechanism 220 in this form, each sorting station 221 is provided corresponding to the plurality of second containers 230, each sorting station 221 has one or more discharge ports, and the plurality of second containers 230 provided corresponding to each sorting station 221 are used for accommodating goods delivered through the one or more discharge ports.
In order to improve the sorting efficiency of the goods so that different second containers 230 correspond to the sorting stations 221, as shown in fig. 2, a container conveyor 240 for moving the second containers 230 is added in the present embodiment, and one container conveyor 240 may be disposed below each sorting station 221.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the container conveyor 240 includes a reciprocating conveying mechanism and a carrying platform, the reciprocating conveying mechanism has a linear reciprocating motion capability, and an output end of the reciprocating conveying mechanism is in transmission connection with the carrying platform for driving the carrying platform to perform a linear reciprocating motion.
As shown in fig. 3, 4, or 5, the plurality of second containers 230 are arranged on the carrying platform in a linear array, the sorting station 221 has a first discharge port 2211 and a second discharge port 2212, a connection line between the first discharge port 2211 and the second discharge port 2212 is the same as the arrangement direction of the plurality of corresponding second containers 230 arranged in a linear array, and the plurality of second containers 230 arranged in a linear array can reciprocate below the sorting station 221 along with the carrying platform, so as to adjust positions of two of the second containers 230 to be aligned with the first discharge port 2211 and the second discharge port 2212, that is, the first discharge port 2211, the second discharge port 2212 and the plurality of second containers 230 are matched for sorting, thereby greatly improving the sorting efficiency of the goods. It should be noted here that the output end of the reciprocating conveying mechanism is connected with the carrying platform to drive the carrying platform to reciprocate, and the specific connection mode is not limited.
In short, the positions of the plurality of second containers 230 are variable, the second containers 230 can be moved to a position corresponding to the first discharge port 2211 or the second discharge port 2212, and the goods enter the second containers 230 below the sorting station 221 through the first discharge port 2211 or the second discharge port 2212, wherein the second containers 230 below the sorting station 221 are provided in plurality, and the sorting of a plurality of different goods or a plurality of orders can be performed by default.
The second structural form corresponds to the working process of the sorting equipment:
the staff puts the goods on the material supply main line 110 according to the actual operation requirement, and orderly conveys the goods to the sorting device 200 through the material supply main line 110; specifically, when the second detection element detects that no goods exist on the sorting station 221 corresponding to the position No. 1, the control device controls the material supply main line 110 to start to convey the goods to the sorting station 221, and when the second detection element detects that goods exist on the sorting station 221 corresponding to the position No. 1, the control device controls the material supply main line 110 to stop running; when the goods reach a sorting station 221, the goods conveyed to the sorting station 221 are discharged through the first discharge port 2211 or the second discharge port 2212, and fall into the second container 230 corresponding to the sorting station 221, thereby completing the sorting of the goods; and, the sorting mechanism 220 can also move to switch different sorting stations 221 to align with the discharging end of the main feeding line 110, so as to realize the sorting of different goods.
The specific structure of the sorting apparatus has been described above, and the positional relationship between the supply main line 110 and the sorting main line 210 is described next.
As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 is located above the feeding end of the sorting main line 210; and, a predetermined height difference is provided between the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 and the feeding end of the sorting main line 210.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the height difference H1Which is smaller than the height dimension of the goods on the sorting main line 210.
In the case of a sorting installation of this type of construction, the height difference H1The value of (a) may be set without limitation, specifically according to the type of goods to be sorted, e.g., the height difference H1The range of (A) is 0-50mm, including 0mm, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, etc., as long as the height difference is less than the cargoThe height of the objects on the sorting main line 210 may be measured. Due to the height difference H1The value of (a) is not large, so that the damage of the goods caused by gravity falling in the process of transferring from the feeding main line 110 to the sorting main line 210 can be reduced or even avoided.
When the height difference H1When the height of the goods on the sorting main line 210 is smaller than the height of the goods and the sorting main line 210 is in the closed shape, if the goods on the sorting main line 210 are not sown, the goods may touch the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 after passing through the entire sorting main line 210. To alleviate this problem, the sorting main line 210 further includes a terminal end position, and the entire sorting main line 210 is formed from the feeding end to the terminal end position of the sorting main line 210; in which, an abnormal container (not shown in the drawings) is correspondingly disposed at the end position, and the abnormal container is used for accommodating goods which pass through from the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 to the end position and are not sown yet. The establishment of the abnormal container can make the unsown goods enter the fixed receiving mechanism, and prevent the unsown goods from colliding with the feeding main line 110 to affect the sorting efficiency. For example, the location of the exception container may be fixed relative to the ground; a plurality of abnormal containers can be arranged below the tail end position, the abnormal containers are placed above a container conveyor, the container conveyor has the linear reciprocating motion capacity, and the abnormal containers can be moved to enable one abnormal container to be aligned with the discharge hole of the tail end position. It should be noted that, when the sorting main line 210 is a closed loop, the end position is adjacent to the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 in a head-to-tail spaced manner.
Optionally, a third detecting element (not shown in the drawings, and the third detecting element may be an optoelectronic switch, an image sensor, a gravity sensor, etc.) may be correspondingly disposed outside the sorting station 221 corresponding to the end position, wherein the third detecting element is controlled by a control device (e.g., P L C). the third detecting element is used for detecting whether there is any goods on the sorting station 221 corresponding to the end position, and if there is any goods, the goods need to be fed into the abnormal container.
Specifically, the sorting mechanism 220 has 20 sorting stations 221, wherein the first 19 sorting stations 221 correspond to the first container or the second container respectively, and the 20 th sorting station 221 corresponds to 1 abnormal container; after the goods enter the sorting station 221 on the position No. 1, if the goods are not successfully sown in the process of one turn of rotation of the sorting mechanism 220, when the goods move to the position No. 20, once the third detection element detects that the goods exist at the position, the control device sends information to the control device, and the control device receives the information, controls the sorting and conveying assembly to move and sends the goods into an abnormal container.
In the first structure form of the sorting mechanism 220, if the goods are not successfully sown in the process of one rotation of the sorting mechanism 220, when the goods move to the position No. 20, the third detection element detects that the goods exist at the position, information is sent to the control device, the control device receives the information, the control device controls the sorting conveying assembly to act, and the goods are conveyed into the abnormal container through the sorting conveying assembly, so that the goods can be continuously sorted.
In the second configuration of the sorting mechanism 220, since the position of the second receptacle 230 is variable, in order to ensure that the goods which have not been successfully sown enter the abnormal receptacle, a position for transferring the goods on the sorting station 221 which arrives at the position to the abnormal receptacle through the abnormal goods conveying assembly may be provided at an end position of the sorting main line 210.
Furthermore, the abnormal goods conveying component can be a mechanical arm, and goods which are not sowed successfully are transferred to the abnormal container through the mechanical arm; the abnormal goods conveying component can also be in other forms which can realize the same functions as the above. Specifically, if the goods are not successfully sown in the process of one rotation of the sorting mechanism 220, when the goods move to the position No. 20, the third detection element detects that the goods exist at the position, information is sent to the control device, the control device receives the information and controls the abnormal goods conveying assembly to act, and the goods are conveyed into the abnormal container through the abnormal goods conveying assembly, so that the goods are continuously sorted.
In other embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, the height difference H2Greater than the height dimension of the goods on the sorting main line 210.
The height difference H is defined as2The value of (b) can also be set without limitation according to the type of goods to be sorted, e.g., the height difference H2The range of (1) is 200-500mm, including 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, 350mm, 400mm, 450mm, 500mm, etc., as long as the height difference is larger than the height size of the goods on the sorting main line 210. Of course, the height difference H2The value of (A) is not easy to be too large, and the height difference H is avoided2Too large, which may cause breakage of the goods when they fall on the sorting main line 210 during the transfer.
Due to the height difference H2Greater than the height dimension of the goods on the sorting main line 210, the goods can be ensured to pass through smoothly, the goods which are not sown successfully after the sorting mechanism 220 rotates for one circle continue to rotate along with the sorting mechanism 220 until the goods are sown successfully, and therefore the abnormal container does not need to be arranged.
Above all, the height difference is H1Sorting apparatus and height difference of H2The sorting apparatus of (a) is mainly distinguished by: whether or not an abnormal container is required (specifically, the height difference is H)1The sorting equipment needs to be provided with an abnormal container with the height difference of H2The sorting apparatus of (a) is not required to be provided with an abnormal container).
The positional relationship between the supply main line 110 and the sorting main line 210 has been described above, and then the specific configuration of the supply main line 110 is described.
There are various structural forms in which the conveying direction of the discharging end of the supply main line 110 is identical to the conveying direction of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210. Exemplarily, the conveying track of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 coincides with the conveying track of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 (see fig. 3 or fig. 4 in particular); when the conveying track of the discharging end of the supply main line 110 is consistent with the conveying track of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210, the first speed before the goods on the supply main line 110 are transferred to the sorting main line 210 is identical to the second speed after the goods are transferred to the sorting main line 210, and the design form of the embodiment can enable the relative speed of the supply main line 110 and the sorting main line 210 to be the lowest in terms of the arrangement of an included angle (namely, the first speed has a component speed perpendicular to the second speed, and the first speed and the second speed can mutually offset a part of the component speed).
Specifically, the conveying path of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 may be identical to the conveying path of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210.
As shown in fig. 3 or 4, the conveying tracks of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 and the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 are both arc-shaped; the curvature of the conveying track of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 is the same as the curvature of the conveying track of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210, and this structure can ensure that the conveying track of the goods at the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 is completely the same as the conveying track of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210, and mainly relates to the following first and second structure.
1) First structural form
As shown in fig. 3, the supply main line 110 includes a first arc conveying section 111 and a first straight conveying section 112, an arc segment where the discharge end of the supply main line 110 is located is the first arc conveying section 111, the first straight conveying section 112 and the first arc conveying section 111 are sequentially communicated along the conveying direction of the goods, and the goods enter the first arc conveying section 111 from the first straight conveying section 112.
2) Second structural form
As shown in fig. 4, the main supply line 110 includes a second arc conveying section 113 and a third arc conveying section 114, the arc segment at which the discharge end of the main supply line 110 is located is the third arc conveying section 114, the second arc conveying section 113 and the third arc conveying section 114 are sequentially communicated along the conveying direction of the goods, and the goods enter the third arc conveying section 114 from the second arc conveying section 113. The curvatures of the second arc conveying section 113 and the third arc conveying section 114 are different and are arranged oppositely from the direction of the arc pointing to the respective circle centers.
Further, referring to fig. 4, the main feeding line 110 further includes a second linear conveying section 115, the second arc conveying section 113 and the third arc conveying section 114 are sequentially connected along the conveying direction of the goods, and the goods enter the third arc conveying section 114 from the second linear conveying section 115 through the second arc conveying section 113.
It should be noted that, in the foregoing first structural form and the second structural form, since only the first arc conveying section 111 is provided in the first structural form, the first structural form is more convenient for the layout of the main supply line 110 compared to the second structural form in which the second arc conveying section 113 and the third arc conveying section 114 are provided; the second structure can relatively reduce the projection overlapping part of the main feeding line 110 and the sorting device 200 in the vertical direction, and the two structures have advantages and disadvantages and can be selected according to requirements.
3) Third structural form
The conveying tracks of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 and the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 are both linear (not shown in the figure); the projection of the discharge end of the feeding main line 110 and the projection of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 in the vertical direction are overlapped to ensure that the goods can smoothly enter the sorting station 221.
The above mentioned "projection partial overlap" includes a condition that the discharge end of the supply main line 110 is just connected to the feed end of the sorting main line 210 (that is, the projection of the discharge end of the supply main line 110 and the feed end of the sorting main line 210 in the vertical direction forms a partial ghost area, which is zero), in addition to the projection of the discharge end of the supply main line 110 and the feed end of the sorting main line 210 in the vertical direction.
In the sorting apparatus having such a structural form, the sorting main line 210 may be provided in a structure having a straight shape, for example, L type, U type, straight type, etc.
Taking model L as an example, the output end of the main supply line 110 corresponds to the sorting station 221 of the sorting mechanism L, which is located at the outermost short side, and the conveying tracks of the discharge end of the main supply line 110 and the feeding end of the sorting line 210 are both linear, that is, the goods move along the linear track on the main supply line 110 and can still be conveyed along the same linear track as the main supply line 110 when arriving at the sorting line 210, so that the goods are transferred along the linear track from the discharge end to the sorting line 210.
In addition to the above arrangement, the conveying track of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 and the conveying track of the end portion where the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 is located are not consistent, that is, the first speed has a component speed perpendicular to the second speed, and the design form can make the relative speed of the two speeds be between the mentioned "relative speed reached when the conveying track of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 is consistent with the track of the end portion where the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 is located" and "relative speed reached by some technologies (the mentioned feeding main line 110 and the sorting main line 210 are arranged at an included angle").
The structural form that the conveying track of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 is inconsistent with the conveying track of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 mainly includes the following form.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the conveying tracks of the discharging end of the feeding main line 110 and the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 are both arc-shaped; the circle of the discharge end of the feeding main line 110 intersects the circle of the feeding end of the sorting main line 210 at a point; at this point, the projection of the discharge end of the main supply line 110 and the feed end of the sorting main line 210 in the vertical direction coincide (the projection is repeated as explained above), which can reduce the relative speed of the first speed and the second speed compared with the prior art, but under the same condition, the relative speed achieved by this mode is higher than the above-mentioned mode (i.e. the mode that the conveying track of the discharge end of the main supply line 110 and the conveying track of the feed end of the sorting main line 210 coincide).
Specifically, referring to fig. 5, the supply main line 110 includes a fourth arc-shaped conveying section 116 and a third straight-line conveying section 117, wherein an arc line segment where the discharge end of the supply main line 110 is located is the fourth arc-shaped conveying section 116, the third straight-line conveying section 117 and the fourth arc-shaped conveying section 116 are sequentially communicated along the conveying direction of the goods, and the goods enter the fourth arc-shaped conveying section 116 from the third straight-line conveying section 117.
In summary, the sorting apparatus provided in this embodiment may also be in other structural forms, where the plate embodiment mainly describes a specific shape of the main feeding line 110, and may be in an arc shape or a straight shape, or a stacked form of the two. Obviously, the overall structure comprising the curved or rectilinear feed main 110 can have many variants, not to mention.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and not to limit the same; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
