在本实施例中,支撑架31可用于支撑传输机构33。支撑架31可优选为框架式结构,可满足对传输机构33的支撑强度的条件下还可以降低传输模块32的自重。支撑架31中设有下落口311,下落口311可供快递下落进入存储装置35。传输机构33设置于支撑架31上,且位于下落口311的上方。应当理解的是,传输机构33位于下落口311的上方并不局限于传输机构33位于下落口311的正上方。运输通道36位于传输机构33的上方,用于提供存放快递的空间,且快递可在运输通道36中被传输机构33传输移动。
其中,传输机构33具有第一位置和第二位置,以对下落口311与运输通道36之间连通状态进行切换,具体地:
当传输机构33位于第一位置时,传输机构33处于下落口311和运输通道36之间,隔断了下落口311与运输通道36之间的连通,使得运输通道36中的快递无法进入下落口311。此时,传输机构33的传输面应水平设置,用于对运输通道36中的快递沿传输方向进行传输。
当传输机构33在位于第二位置时,运输通道36与下落口311连通以使运输通道36中的快递落入下落口311。实现运输通道36与下落口311连通的方式例如但不局限于:传输机构33沿靠近或远离下落口311方向可转动地设置于支撑架31,以使运输通道36与下落口311连通;或者,传输机构33可伸缩设置,且当传输机构33处于伸出状态时为第一位置,当传输机构33处于回缩状态时为第二位置。

在本优选的实施例中,通过沿靠近或远离下落口311方向翻转传输机构33,以对下落口311与运输通道36之间连通状态进行切换。传输机构33位于下落口311的上方,当传输机构33在支撑架31上沿靠近下落口311方向转动时,即从第一位置向第二位置切换,此时运输通道36便会与下落口311连通,位于运输通道36中的快递便会失去支撑而沿传输机构33滑落至下落口311中,并从下落口311进入存储装置35,完成快递的分拣落袋;当传输机构33在支撑架31上沿远离下落口311方向转动时,此时传输机构33便会从第二位置向第一位置切换,直至到达第一位置,此时传输机构33隔断下落口311与运输通道36之间的连通,传输机构33可对位于运输通道36上的快递进行传输。
传输机构33的第一位置可以为:传输机构33处于水平设置的位置;传输机构33的第二位置可以为:传输机构33向下倾斜的位置,且倾斜角度可为30~90°。倾斜角度可优选为30°、45°、60°或90°。

两个传输机构33在运输方向上的相邻端皆可向下落口311方向转动以使位于运输通道36中的快递落入下落口311,可实现快递从传送路径的中部区域下落,进而提高快递降落至存储装置35的精确性。同时,相邻端在向下翻转时还可以对快递进行限位作用以避免快递在下落时出现偏出的状况。应当注意 的是,快递可从任一相邻端下落至下落口311,也可以从两个相邻端上同时下落至下落口311。
在某些优选的实施例中,传输模块32具有两个以上且不同的运输方向。
在本优选的实施例中,传输模块32中可具有两个以上的传输机构33,每个传输机构33皆具有一个传输方向。通过将两个以上的传输机进行布设,可实现传输模块32具有两个以上且不同的运输方向,进而使得传输模块32可从不同方向上接收快递或输出快递。其中,运输方向可以为直线状,也这可以为直角状等。当然,运输方向可包括不同的子方向。以直角状的运输方向为例,直线状的运输方向包括相互垂直的水平运输子方向以及竖直运输子方向。当然,两个不同的运输方向中的子方向可重合设置。
以附图8为例,水平状的运输方向例如AB,直角状的运输方向例如AD和AC。
在某些优选的实施例中,支撑架31上设有四个传输机构33,且四个传输机构33沿下落口311的周向顺次拼接设置;其中,任意两个传输机构33皆位于一个运输方向上。
在本优选的实施例中,四个传输机构33沿下落口311的周向顺次拼接设置,且任意两个传输机构33皆位于一个运输方向上,即本优选实施例中的传输模块32具有三个不同的运输方向。
此外,支撑架31优选为方形框架,方形框架围成的中心区域即为下落口311,方形框架中每个侧边上分别转动连接有一个传输机构33。
进一步优选地,四个传输机构33沿下落口311的周向两两对称设置,且任意相邻的两个传输机构33的传输方向相互垂直。
在某些优选的实施例中,传输机构33为辊轴式传送机,包括支架,支架上沿传输方向间隔设有多个用于传输快递的辊轴。传输机构33呈三角形或梯形,四个传输机构33沿周向顺次拼接以形成方形或者中空的方形。

在本优选的实施例中,传输模块32还包括翻转驱动机构,翻转驱动机构用于驱动传输机构33向下落口311方向转动。在具有两个以上的传输机构33时,两个以上的传输机构33可通过一个翻转驱动机构共同控制以进行翻转;也可以与将每个传输机构33与翻转驱动机构一一对应设置,以实现翻转驱动机构对每个传输机构33进行单独控制。

在本优选的实施例中,转轴321可转动地设置于支撑架31上,电机的输出轴与转轴321传动连接以驱动转轴321转动,转轴321的转动又带动第一连杆322围绕转轴321做圆周运动,第一连杆322的运动又带动第二连杆323围绕转轴321做圆周运动,第二连杆323的运动又带动传输机构33运动,进而实现传输机构33的翻转。其中,传动连接的方式并无限制,只要能够将电机的输出轴的转动传递至转轴321即可。当然,翻转驱动机构也并不局限于上述技术方案,只要能够实现驱动传输机构33向下落口311方向翻转即可。
请参考图9至图10,在一种具体实施方式中,本实施例的分拣装置包括传输线34,该传输线34包括两个以上的传输模块32,两个以上的传输模块32阵列排布;
其中,传输模块32至少包括一个输入端和一个输出端,且任意相邻的两个传输模块32之间通过输出端与输入端连通设置。
在本实施例中,两个以上的传输模块32沿阵列排布,阵列的具体类型可根据场地空间以及使用需求进行相应调整。其中,阵列排布可进一步优选为矩阵排布,例如附图9所示的3阶矩阵。
其中,传输模块32至少包括一个输入端和一个输出端,输入端和输出端可为同一传输机构33上,也可以位于不同额传输机构33上。相邻的两个传输模块32中具有连通设置的输出端与输入端,以便于快递在两个传输模块32之间输送。同时,任意相邻的两个传输模块32之间通过输出端与输入端连通设置,进而使得快递可达到传输线34上的任意一个传输模块32上。
在另一种具体实施方式中,本实施例的分拣装置包括上述传输线34以及对应每个下落口311设置 的两个以上的存储装置35,其中存储装置35的顶部设有开口部,且开口部位于对应的下落口311的下方。
在本实施例中,分拣装置包括快递分拣入口,快递从快递分拣入口进入传输线34。快递在传输线34上通过传输模块32进行传输直至达到目标存储装置35对应的传输模块32上。传输模块32上的传输机构33由第一位置切换至第二位置时便可使快递下落。快递经过下落口311从存储装置35的开口部进入存储装置35中,完成快递的分拣。其中,存储装置35例如但不局限于存储箱或存储袋。
请参考图11,本实施例的分拣装置分拣快递的方法包括以下步骤:
S1:根据快递的配送地址信息获取目标存储装置35的位置信息;
S2:根据目标存储装置35的位置信息将快递从传输线34上输送至目标存储装置35对应的传输模块32上,并将传输模块32中的传输机构33由第一位置切换至第二位置以使快递从下落口311进入目标存储装置35。
在本实施例中,快递的配送地址信息与目标存储装置35的位置信息是一一对应关系,存储装置35的位置信息可以为存储装置35的编号或者在构建的坐标系中的坐标值。目标存储装置35的位置信息即为该快递的落袋位置。根据快递的配送地址信息获取目标存储装置35的位置信息,然后根据获取的目标存储装置35的位置信息将快递从传输线34上输送至目标存储装置35对应的传输模块32上,最后将传输模块32中的传输机构33由第一位置切换至第二位置以使快递进入下落口311,并从下落口311进入目标存储装置35,完成该快递的分拣操作。
下面结合附图9对快递分拣方法进行示例阐述。在附图9中,快递的目标存储装置35为中央的存储装置35。在获取目标存储装置35的位置信息后,对快递的传输路线进行规划。规划的路线例如:快递先从传输线34的第一行的第一个传输模块32进入第一行的第二个传输模块32,然后转向至第二行的第二个传输模块32。快递根据规划好的路线依次沿传输方向E、F以及G到达目标存储装置35上方的传输模块32,然后将传输模块32中的传输机构33向下落口311方向翻转以使快递从下落口311进入目标存储装置35,完成该快递的落袋分拣操作。
具体实施例四
如图12所示,本实施例提供一种分拣装置,包括分拣格口模块,该分拣格口模块包括顶部开口的格口41,格口41的开口处铰接有至少能沿一方向进行物品输送的传输模块42,传输模块42能够启闭开口。
例如但不限于,格口41为薄壁的管状,且至少开口处为方形,传输模块42亦为与开口适配的方形。
本实施例所指的一方向是指,一直线的方向,可以是沿一直线方向向前,也可以是沿一直线方向向后。
上述方案的分拣格口模块在使用时,由多个分拣格口模块按照规定的排布方式组成分拣装置,若传输模块42仅能沿一个方向进行物品输送,则多个分拣格口模块沿其输送方向顺次设置,若传输模块42可沿多个方向进行物品输送,则可沿多个方向设置分拣格口模块。由于格口1直接位于传输模块42的下方,较传统的中间传送两侧布置格口的方式,提高了场地利用率。分拣装置可由多个分拣格口模块按照输送的要求及场地条件进行排布,另外,在后期使用过程中,还可以根据需要来增减或替换分拣格口模块,便于后期的维修及扩展升级。此外,不需要增加额外的拨拉的机构,降低了成本。
进一步地,传输模块42能沿相互垂直的方向进行物品输送。采用此种结构,在水平面上可以对物品进行前后左右四个方向进行输送,提高了分拣能力及效率。
进一步地,如图13所示,传输模块42包括方形框架(图中未示出),方形框架的对角之间设置有对角支撑48,对角支撑48将方形框架分隔为四个三角形区域,各三角形区域内均转动设置有多个轴线相互平行的滚筒49,各滚筒49的两端分别与对角支撑48转动配合,相邻三角形区域的滚筒49的轴线相互垂直。每个三角形区域的滚筒49的长度在内向外依次增加。
采用此种结构,能够实现前后左右四个方向的传输,且机构简单,使用可靠寿命长的优点。
各个区域内的滚筒49可以单独进行驱动,可以相对的区域采用同一个驱动。
进一步地,当传输模块42仅能沿一个方向进行物品输送时,其可以是传输模块为带式传输模块或滚筒传输模块。
带式传输模块包括安装于支架上的主动辊和从动辊,以及缠绕于主动辊和从动辊上的传送带。
滚筒传输模块包括方形框架,及转动设置于方形框架内的,轴线相互平行的滚筒。
进一步地,格口41与传输模块42之间设置有用于启闭传输模块的连杆驱动机构。通过连杆驱动机构来驱动传输模块具有结构简单,可以采用较小的驱动功率即可驱动传输模块转动,节能且降低了对驱动机构体积的要求。
进一步地,连杆驱动机构设置于格口41的内部,连杆驱动机构包括转动连接的第一连杆43和第二连杆44,第一连杆43与传输模块42铰接,第二连杆44与驱动电机的转轴固定连接,驱动电机与格口41固定连接。
一般地,第一连杆43与传输模块42铰接的铰接位置远离传输模块42与格口41的铰接位置,这样连杆驱动机构的力臂较长,可以用较小的力即可驱动传输模块42转动。
如图12所示,在一个具体实施方式中,分拣装置包括至少沿一方向并排设置的多个上述的分拣格口模块。其中,图12中示出了沿一方向并排设置3个分拣格口模块。
多个分拣格口模块按照规定的排布方式组成分拣装置,若传输模块42仅能沿一个方向进行物品输送,则多个分拣格口模块沿其输送方向顺次设置,若传输模块42可沿多个方向进行物品输送,则可沿多个方向设置分拣格口模块。由于格口41直接位于传输模块42的下方,较传统的中间传送两侧布置格口的方式,提高了场地利用率。分拣装置可由多个分拣格口模块按照输送的要求及场地条件进行排布,另外,在后期使用过程中,还可以根据需要来增减或替换分拣格口模块,便于后期的维修及扩展升级。此外,不需要增加额外的拨拉的机构,降低了成本。
进一步地,传输模块42采用能沿相互垂直的方向进行物品输送的结构,则沿相互垂直的方向并排设置多个分拣格口模块,形成N行,M列的分拣装置,N和M均为大于二的正整数。
例如,物品45初始在1行,1列的位置,需要传送到5行,4列的位置,而5行,4列的位置开口朝向6行,4列,则可以先将物品沿纵向直接传送到6行,1列位置,然后沿横向传送到6行,4列,在5行,4列的位置开口打开后,将物品经开口送入5行,4列处的格口内,然后关闭此开口,使5行,4列处的传输模块继续进行输送作业。其中,输送的路径可以不是唯一的,只要能够先输送至6行,4列,然后再将物品经开口送入5行,4列处的格口内即可。
进一步地,为了便于物品45的传送,防止物品45卡在分拣格口模块的相邻处,则各传输模块42的传送面位于同一平面。
如图14所示为本实施例提供的分拣装置的分拣方法,其包括以下步骤:
S41:将物品输送至与第一分拣格口模块相邻的第二分拣格口模块的传输模块上,所述第二分拣格口模块位于所述第一分拣格口模块的传输模块,启闭第一分拣格口模块开口的一侧;
S42:转动所述第一分拣格口模块的传输模块42,开启所述第一分拣格口模块的开口;
S43:驱动所述第二分拣格口模块的传输模块42,将所述物品经所述开口输送至第一分拣格口模块的格口内;
S44:反向转动所述第一分拣格口模块的传输模块42,关闭所述第一分拣格口模块的开口。
该方法是上述分拣装置实现的分拣方法,其效果参见分拣装置,这里不再赘述。
本申请实施例还提供了另一种分拣装置,传输模块邻接有一开口,格口位于开口下方。具体地,该分拣装置包括格口和传输组件,该传输组件包括框架及多个传输模块,各传输模块设置有多个传输方向,各传输方向上并排设置有多个用于传输物品的滚动件,多个滚动件从传输模块的外侧向中心顺次排列设置,多个传输模块共同邻接有一开口,格口位于开口下方。在本实施例中,分拣装置包括上述传输组件中传输模块邻接有一开口的各实施例。在具体应用中,物品可以为快递包裹、文件封等物件或非快递物件。
以下为该分拣装置的具体实施例:

现有技术中采用将包裹放置在中间转动的圆盘上,由圆盘转动带动包裹运动,从而将包裹投递到分布于圆盘四周的格口内。此种方式在包裹投递过程中,格口的位置是固定。现有技术存在的以下的缺点:1.格口数量随中间圆盘直径大小决定,且空间高度内格口不能叠加,格口的数量受限;2.格口布置在圆盘四周,与包裹运行路径并排,占用场地面积大,单位面积上的格口数量少;3.圆盘运行效率不高,如包裹属于上件口第一个格口内,当包裹投递完后返回到上件位时,中间所走的行程为空行程;4.格口位置固定,格口满包时需预留外围整体空间建包;5.分拣单元不能并行扩展,包裹投递时需初分,保证所投包裹属于圆盘格口内,不适合后期柔性扩展。
本实施例采用上层传输层、下层第一格口层和第二格口层运动配合能有效解决以上问题,主要表现在:1.单个第一格口层或第二格口层能够固定最少7个格口,各格口层内的格口可以紧挨,格口设置为扇形,使得第一格口层和第二格口层的结构更加紧凑,增加格口的容积,并且能根据场地层高多层布 置,充分利用高度空间,提高了单位面积上的格口数量;2.格口布置在包裹运行路径下方,不占用场地面积;3.第一转动机构和第二转动机构可正反方向运动,根据包裹所属格口位置来调整第一转动机构和第二转动机构的转动方向,第一转动机构和第二转动机构每次转动最大角度不超过180度,节省包裹投递时间;4.可将包满时建包位置固定在同一位置,当格口包满时,第一转动机构或者第二转动机构带动包满的格口运动至建包位置,节省建包空间及人员负荷;5.分拣装置模块化,当多个分拣装置并行使用时,不需要初分,包裹根据所属格口进行路径规划,通过多个传输层传输至所属格口对应的分拣装置再落入所属格口中;6.分拣装置模块化,结构简单,能够节约前期施工及后期的扩展维护的时间及成本。
