Description

Cross belt sorter structure

This creation belongs to the technical field of conveying and sorting equipment, specifically a cross-belt sorter structure, which can improve the stability during driving and make the sorting movement more sensitive and fast.

According to the above, in the conveyor technology, the conveying carrier that moves along the conveying path on the track is often used to convey the items to be conveyed. With the development of the Internet economy, the logistics industry is entering a period of rapid development. The rapid and accurate sorting of parcels has become a basic requirement for the logistics industry. The existing logistics sorting system is usually set up with a main conveyor line and a flat setting. A plurality of sorting tracks closed end-to-end in a ring shape, a plurality of sorting ports corresponding to different addresses are arranged at the side of the sorting track, and a number of sorting cars are arranged at intervals on the sorting track. The conveying direction of the conveying belt of each sorting car can be transverse to the moving direction of the main conveying line. Since the conveying belt of the cross-belt sorting device is perpendicular to the running direction of the main conveying line, this sorting equipment is It is called "Cross-Belt Sorter". In order to use the movement direction of the sorting car to the left or right to discharge the conveyed goods; and the sorting car of the existing cross-belt sorter, such as EP0930248B1, EP1375390A2 or CN200720112351.7, etc., the composition of the disclosed sorting car , Through the friction plates on both sides of an operation unit The outer surface of the friction wheel of the picking car. When the sorting car reaches the sorting position, the operation unit receives the instruction from the control system to make the opposite friction plate contact the friction wheel of the corresponding sorting car. The friction wheel operates under the action of friction , Which in turn drives the conveyor belt of the conveyor mechanism of the sorting car to divert the items on the sorting car to the branch conveyor line or the lower package line; and the friction plate of the operating unit of these cross-belt sorters is a seesaw Type structure, one end uses a pneumatic cylinder to reciprocate, so that the other end of the friction plate can selectively contact the friction wheel of the sorting car, and the friction plate is provided with an elastic member at the pivot to allow the friction plate to produce Preload force away from the friction wheel.
