In one embodiment of the application, a transport mechanism for containers is provided for pushing goods 8 out of the cargo channel 1 of the container.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the transfer mechanism includes:

a support 2.

The first gear 3, the first gear 3 and the support member 2 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the cargo way 1 in the length direction.

The synchronous belt 4 is sleeved on the supporting piece 2 and the first gear 3 and driven by the first gear 3 to move.

Wherein the surface of the first gear 3 is formed with teeth. The surface of the support 2 may be formed with or without teeth, and specifically, as shown in fig. 12, the support 2 may be formed as a gear 21; as shown in fig. 13, the support 2 may be formed as a roller 22. As shown in fig. 14, the support 2 may be formed as a shaft 23. In the embodiment where the support 2 is formed as the roller 22 or the shaft 23, it is preferable that the surface of the roller 22 or the shaft 23 is formed as a smooth surface to reduce the friction coefficient of the contact surface of the timing belt 4 with the roller 22 or the shaft 23, thereby facilitating the movement of the timing belt 4.

Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4, the transfer mechanism further comprises:

push pedal 5, push pedal 5 fixed connection are in hold-in range 4 to follow hold-in range 4 and remove, in order to push out goods 8 from goods way 1. Referring to fig. 3, under the driving of the synchronous belt 4, the pushing plate 5 pushes the goods 88 out of the goods channel 1 along the direction indicated by the arrow, and the goods 8 are pushed out of the goods channel 1 by the pushing plate 5, enter the goods taking device 7, and are sent to a goods taking port (not shown in the figure) of the goods container by the goods taking device 7, so that a user can take the goods directly through the goods taking port of the goods container or can take the goods by the robot, and the goods are distributed to the user by the robot.

As shown in fig. 5 to 11, and 12 to 14, the timing belt 4 includes a meshing portion 41 and a non-meshing portion 42, wherein,

the engaging portion 41 is configured and adapted to cooperate with teeth on the first gear 3 to move the timing belt 4.

The non-meshing portion 42 is configured not to be fitted with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3, so that the first gear 3 cannot move the timing belt 4 when the push plate 5 moves to the outlet 11 of the lane 1 or moves to a predetermined distance from the outlet 11.

Wherein the preset distance may be set to be less than K times the size parameter of the smallest-sized cargo 8 in the cargo way. The dimension parameter is the length of the goods 8 in the direction in which they are pushed out of the way. K is a positive number, and in particular, K can be a positive number in the range of 0.1 to 2. Preferably, K may be a positive number in the range of 0.5-1, for example, K may be 0.5 or 0.6 or 0.9 or 1, and so on. In one embodiment, the predetermined distance is 10 × kcm, provided that the size parameter is 10 cm. Further, if K is 0.5, the preset distance is 5 cm; if K is 1, the preset distance is 10 cm.

In the embodiment of the present application, it is suitable for the cooperation with the tooth 31 on the first gear 3 to configure through the meshing portion 41, in order to drive the hold-in range 4 to move, so the push pedal 5 connected to the hold-in range 4 can follow the hold-in range 4 to move, thereby release the goods 8 from the cargo way 1, when the push pedal 5 moves to the export 11 of the cargo way 1 or moves to when keeping away from the export 11 at a preset distance, the goods 8 in the cargo way 1 are all released, the first gear 3 can not drive the hold-in range 4 to move, thereby can not make the push pedal continue to move, thereby avoid causing the destruction to other mechanisms inside the container, not only can strengthen the safety in utilization, and reduce the trouble and take place, therefore can guarantee the promptness of shipment of the container, improve user experience.

As shown in fig. 5 to 11, as an alternative embodiment, the engaging portion 41 includes a plurality of first teeth 411, and a tooth slot 412 between two adjacent first teeth 411 is adapted to engage with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3; the non-engagement portion 42 includes a plurality of second teeth 421, and the tooth spaces 422 between adjacent second teeth 421 are not adapted to engage with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3.

Since the tooth space 412 between any two adjacent first teeth 411 in the engaging portion 41 is configured to be engaged with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3, the first gear 3 can move the timing belt 4 when rotating, so that the push plate 5 can move along with the timing belt 4 to push the goods 8 out of the cargo way 1.

When the goods 8 in the goods way 1 are all pushed out, or the quantity of the goods 8 is insufficient, and the goods needs to be replenished, that is, when the push plate 5 moves to the outlet 11 of the goods way 1 or moves to a preset distance away from the outlet 11, at this time, the synchronous belt 4 just moves to enable the non-meshing part 42 to be in contact with the first gear 3, because the tooth socket 422 between any two adjacent second teeth 421 in the non-meshing part 42 is configured to be not suitable for meshing with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3, the first gear 3 cannot continuously drive the synchronous belt 4 to move, and further the push plate 5 cannot continuously move, thereby avoiding that the related mechanisms are damaged and operation faults are caused because the push plate 5 continuously moves and collides with other mechanisms in the damaged container, such as the goods taking device 7 and the like.

When the first gear 3 cannot drive the synchronous belt 4 to move, the push plate 5 will keep at the current position continuously. Because the push plate 5 is continuously kept at the current position, no goods 8 are pushed out, and therefore, when the pushing out of the goods 8 is not detected within the preset time, the lack of goods in the corresponding goods channel 1 can be known, and the goods in the goods channel 1 need to be supplemented. When the goods are replenished, the synchronous belt 4 and the push plate 5 fixedly connected with the synchronous belt can be restored to the initial state, so that the goods 8 can be pushed out of the goods channel 1 again.

As shown in fig. 5, 6 and 7, as an alternative embodiment, the volume of the tooth space 412 between two adjacent first teeth 411 is smaller than the volume of the tooth space 422 between two adjacent second teeth 421. In this way, while the tooth spaces 412 between the adjacent two first teeth 411 are adapted to mesh with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3, the tooth spaces 422 between the adjacent two second teeth 421 are not adapted to mesh with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3.

As shown in fig. 5, the width of the tooth slot 412 between two adjacent first teeth 411 is smaller than the width of the tooth slot 422 between two adjacent second teeth 421. In this way, while the tooth spaces 412 between the adjacent two first teeth 411 are adapted to mesh with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3, the tooth spaces 422 between the adjacent two second teeth 421 are not adapted to mesh with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3.

As shown in fig. 7 to 11, as an alternative embodiment, the root portion of the first tooth 411 is higher than the crest portion of the second tooth 421. In this way, while the tooth spaces 412 between the adjacent two first teeth 411 are adapted to mesh with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3, the tooth spaces 422 between the adjacent two second teeth 421 are not adapted to mesh with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3.

As shown in fig. 8, as an alternative embodiment, the surface of the second tooth 421 is formed as a curved surface. In this way, while the tooth spaces 412 between the adjacent two first teeth 411 are adapted to mesh with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3, the tooth spaces 422 between the adjacent two second teeth 421 are not adapted to mesh with the teeth 31 of the first gear 3.

As shown in fig. 5 to 11, as an alternative embodiment, the length of the non-meshing portion 42 is smaller than the length of the meshing portion 41, and the length of the non-meshing portion 42 is larger than half of the circumference of the addendum circle of the first gear 3.
