具体实施方式
以下详细说明本公开。在以下段落中，更为详细地限定了实施例的不同方面。如此限定的各方面可与任何其他的一个方面或多个方面组合，除非明确指出不可组合。尤其是，被认为是优选的或有利的任何特征可与其他一个或多个被认为是优选的或有利的特征组合。
本公开中出现的“第一”、“第二”等用语仅是为了方便描述，以区分具有相同名称的不同组成部件，并不表示先后或主次关系。
在本公开的描述中，采用了“上”、“下”、“顶”、“底”、“前”、“后”、“内”和“外”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系，仅是为了便于描述本公开，而不是指示或暗示所指的装置必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操控，因此不能理解为对本公开保护范围的限制。
发明人所知晓的相关技术中的直线分拣机在皮带小车运动至侧面以及底部的轨道上时，物品放置面会随着轨道发生角度改变，因此，在皮带小车在顶部轨道移动时就需要将物品分拣完毕，这样只有运行在顶部轨道的皮带小车能够执行分拣作业，降低了皮带小车的利用率，分拣效率较低。
有鉴于此，本公开提供了一种分拣装置，属于直线分拣机，用于在输送物品的过程中分拣物品。如图1至图7所示，该分拣装置包括：第一引导件1、第二引导件1’ 和分拣部件3。
如图5所示，第一引导件1在竖直平面内包括第一转弯段17和位于不同高度的多个第一直线段16，第一转弯段17的两端分别与相邻两个第一直线段16同侧的端部相连。例如，第一直线段16可水平设置或者在竖直平面内倾斜设置，第一转弯段17可以是圆弧段或者是其它能够使分拣部件3平滑运动的曲线段。此处及后续提到的“多个”包括两个以及两个以上。
第二引导件1’在竖直平面内包括第二转弯段17’和位于不同高度的多个第二直线段16’，第二转弯段17’的两端分别与相邻两个第二直线段16’同侧的端部相连的，第二直线段16’与第一直线段16的延伸方向相同。第二引导件1’沿分拣方向y与第一引导件1间隔设置，如图5所示，第一引导件1和第二引导件1’之间可设置支架10以进行间距保持。第二转弯段17’与第一转弯段17的形状和尺寸相同。
如图1所示，为了提高运行安全性，第一引导件1和第二引导件1’沿平行于第一直线段16的方向x的两端设有保护罩7。
如图6所示，分拣部件3具有与第一引导件1连接的第一连接部A以及与第二引导件1’连接的第二连接部B，且分拣部件3沿第一引导件1和第二引导件1’的延伸方向可移动，被配置为在移动至目标位置时沿分拣方向y卸下承载的物品。
为了提高物品分拣效率，分拣部件3可设置多个，不同分拣类别的物品设置不同的目标位置，在分拣部件3到达承载物品对应的目标位置后实现物品的移载，这样在多个分拣部件3移动的过程可实现承载物品的分类。分拣部件3可以通过第一引导件1和第二引导件1’的运动提供动力，也可以通过驱动部件直接为分拣部件3的运动提供动力。
其中，如图6所示，在平行于第一直线段16的方向x上，第一直线段16与第一转弯段17的第一连接点C相对于第二直线段16’与第二转弯段17’的第二连接点D超出预设长度L，第一连接部A与第一连接点C的距离和第二连接部B与第二连接点D的距离相同。例如，第一直线段16和第二直线段16’水平设置，第一转弯段17和第二转弯段17’呈圆弧形，第一连接点C为第一直线段16与第一转弯段17的切点，第二连接点D为第二直线段16’与第二转弯段17’的切点。第一连接部A和第二连接点D可包括点、线或面等连接方式，固定连接及可移动地连接均在本公开保护范围之内。
该实施例通过将第一引导件1和第二引导件1’在平行于第一直线段16的方向x 上错位设置，并使分拣部件3与第一引导件1的第一连接部A和分拣部件3与第二引导件1’的第二连接部B也错位设置，且错位尺寸和方向相同，可使分拣部件3在经过第一引导件1和第二引导件1’的侧端及底部时，既能保证分拣部件3顺利地通过，又能通过第一连接部A和第二连接部B的错位设置限制分拣部件3在移动过程中发生角度改变，从而使分拣部件3的物品放置面S始终保持位置不变，以稳定地输送物品。因此，分拣部件3在整个运动过程中都能实现物品分拣，可提高分拣部件3的利用率，从而提高分拣装置的分拣效率。而且，此种分拣装置还具有占地面积小的优点。
如图1所示，第一引导件1具有两个第一直线段16和两个第一转弯段17，两个第一转弯段17分别设在两个第一直线段16两侧的端部。其中一个第一转弯段17的两端分别与两个第一直线段16其中一侧的端部连接，另一个第一转弯段17的两端分别与两个第一直线段16另一侧的端部连接。
第二引导件1’具有两个第二直线段16’和两个第二转弯段17’，两个第二转弯段17’分别设在两个第二直线段16’两侧的端部；其中一个第二转弯段17’的两端分别与两个第二直线段16’其中一侧的端部连接，另一个第二转弯段17’的两端分别与两个第二直线段16’另一侧的端部连接。
其中，第一直线段16和第二直线段16’长度相同，这样在一侧的端部，第一连接点C相对于第二连接点D超出预设长度L，在另一侧的端部，第一连接点C相对于第二连接点D缩回预设长度L。
该实施例中第一引导件1和第二引导件1’均在竖直面内呈封闭环状结构，例如，可以是长圆形结构等，且第一引导件1和第二引导件1’整体在平行于第一直线段16的方向x上错位设置，能够使分拣部件3沿第一引导件1和第二引导件1’的延伸方向循环运动，从而实现分拣部件3的持续运动，可进一步提高分拣作业的便捷性，并提高分拣效率。
除了该封闭式的引导件，下面举例给出的实施例也在本公开的保护范围之内。
在一些实施例中，第一转弯段17仅设在第一直线段16的一侧，第二转弯段17’仅设在第二直线段16’的一侧，且第一转弯段17与第二转弯段17’位于同侧，第一引导件1和第二引导件1’在另一侧具有开口，分拣部件3在运动至开口处时停止。
在一些实施例中，第一引导件1中相邻的两个第一直线段16之间通过第一转弯段17连接，相邻的第一转弯段17位于第一直线段16的不同侧，使第一引导件1形成S形结构。该实施例能够实现更多层的分拣作业，适用于分拣任务较重或者分拣类 型较多的场合。
在上述实施例中，位于同一层的第一直线段16和第二直线段16’高度相同且相互平行，此种结构便于实现分拣部件3的运动，使分拣部件3在运动过程中更加稳定可靠。可选地，位于同一层的第一直线段16和第二直线段16’也可具有高度差，相应地，第一连接部A和第二连接部B也具有高度差。
为了使分拣部件3在第一引导件1和第二引导件1’上同步运动，例如同时到达第一转弯段17和第二转弯段17’，第一直线段16和第二直线段16’的长度相同。而第一引导件1中的多个第一直线段16可采用不同的长度，第二引导件1’中的多个第二直线段16’也可采用不同的长度。
分拣部件3在第一转弯段17和第二转弯段17’上运动时，分拣部件3相对于第一转弯段17和第二转弯段17’的角度实时变化，且第一连接部A和第二连接部B所对应的角度时刻保持相同。
如图1所示，分拣部件3具有物品放置面S，物品放置面S被构造为在分拣部件3移动时保持水平朝上。此种结构在分拣部件3沿整个长环形结构运动的过程中都能平稳地承载物品，防止物品发生掉落，从而可靠地实现物品分拣。
如图1所示，分拣装置还包括：多层滑道4，滑道4被配置为接收分拣部件3卸下的物品并引导物品落下，每个滑道4形成一个格口，滑道4的两侧均设有阻挡板，用于放置物品进入相邻滑道4或者落到滑道4之外，以使物品准确地分拣到对应区域。相邻的滑道4之间可共用阻挡板。较优地，滑道4的宽度可大于分拣部件3在垂直于分拣方向y上的尺寸，以使从分拣部件3上落下的物品顺利进入滑道4。每层滑道4均设在同一层第一直线段16和第二直线段16’中至少一个的外侧。
由于分拣部件3在经过每一层的第一直线段16和第二直线段16’时，仍能执行分拣任务，因此可以设置多层滑道4，充分地利用分拣装置高度方向z上的空间，在占地面积相同的情况下可在高度方向z上增加格口的数量，以提高分拣效率或者设置更多的分拣类型，使分拣任务更加灵活。例如，对于第一引导件1和第二引导件1’为封闭环状结构的实施例，与相关技术的直线分拣机相比可增加一倍格口的数量。
如图1所示，每层滑道4包括两排滑道4，两排滑道4分别设在第一引导件1和第二引导件1’沿分拣方向y的外侧，每排滑道4包括沿平行于第一直线段16的方向x并排设置的多个滑道4。
该实施例能够在第一引导件1和第二引导件1’外侧布置较多的滑道4，充分利 用分拣装置在平行于第一直线段16的方向x或分拣方向y上的空间，以进一步提高分拣效率或者设置更多的分拣类型。
如图1所示，分拣装置还包括多个箱体5，箱体5被配置为接收从滑道4落下的物品，箱体5可设在滑道4沿分拣方向y的外侧，且箱体5的内侧靠近滑道4的底部设置。多个箱体5与多个滑道4一一对应地设置，多个箱体5分两层设置，每层箱体5包括两排箱体5，两排箱体5分别设在第一引导件1和第二引导件1’沿分拣方向y的外侧，每排箱体5包括沿平行于第一直线段16的方向x并排设置的多个箱体5。
如图1所示，第一层的箱体5可直接放置于地面，第二层的箱体5可放置于支架6上。或者直接设置两层的支架6，将两层箱体5分别放置于两层支架6上。
在一些实施例中，分拣部件3的一侧与第一引导件1之间仅设有一个第一连接部A，分拣部件3的另一侧与第二引导件1’之间仅设有一个第二连接部B，即分拣部件3沿分拣方向y的两侧均采用单点支撑，第一引导件1和第二引导件1’均包括：限位件，被配置为限制分拣部件3整体沿分拣方向y移动的自由度。
该实施例能够限制分拣部件3在分拣方向y上发生偏移，且由于第一连接部A和第二连接部B错位设置，使得分拣部件3在运动过程中进行段位切换时，无法以平行于分拣方向y的轴线转动，因此，分拣部件3在整个运动过程中都能保持物品放置面S方向不变。
如图4和图7，第一引导件1和第二引导件1’均包括轨道11、安装条12和第一导向轮13。其中，轨道11呈C形结构且开口111朝向分拣部件3；安装条12设在轨道11内且与轨道11的延伸方向一致；第一导向轮13固定在安装条12上，且从轨道11的开口111通过第一连接部A或第二连接部B与分拣部件3连接，第一导向轮13的外周面至少与轨道11的内底壁113接触。在配合精度较高的情况下，第一导向轮13的外周面还可与轨道11的内顶壁112接触，以向第一导向轮13提供稳定的支撑力，使分拣部件3的运动更加稳定顺畅。为了防止第一导向轮13在运动的过程中发生倾斜，第一导向轮13包括两个同轴间隔设置的轮131，且通过增加两个轮131之间的间距可优化支撑效果。
如图2和图3所示，分拣部件3包括：主体部31和皮带传送部32，皮带传送部32设在主体部31上方，被配置为在分拣部件3运动至目标位置时沿分拣方向y运行，以将物品卸至皮带传送部32沿运行方向的前侧。皮带传送部32的运行方向可根据分拣类型的不同确定。例如，皮带传送部32可依靠电辊筒传递运输动力。
该实施例能够在第一导向轮13的引导下，使分拣部件3顺利地沿轨道11移动，防止分拣部件3在运动时沿高度方向z发生跳动，并对分拣部件进行定位，保证相邻分拣部件3之间的间距。而且此种结构易于实现分拣部件3与第一引导件1和第二引导件1’之间的拆装。
如图2所示，主体部31沿分拣方向y的两侧分别设置第一连接轴33和第二连接轴33’，第一连接轴33和第二连接轴33’可设在主体部31的底部位置，并从C形结构的开口111插入且与第一导向轮13同轴连接，且第一连接轴33和第二连接轴33’沿平行于第一直线段16的方向x错位设置。第一连接轴33与第一连接点C的距离和第二连接轴33’与第二连接点D的距离一致。该结构中，第一连接轴33作为第一连接部A，第二连接轴33’作为第二连接部B。
分拣部件3在顶部的第一直线段16上移动的过程中，当与第一连接轴33连接的第一导向轮13移动至第一直线段16与第一转弯段17的切点时，与第二连接轴33’连接的第一导向轮13同时到达顶部第二直线段16’与第二转弯段17’的切点，这样分拣部件3两侧的第一导向轮13同时切换至第一转弯段17和第二转弯段17’运动，但是物品承载面S仍水平朝上。
当与第一连接轴33连接的第一导向轮13移动至第一转弯段17与底部第一直线段16的切点时，与第二连接轴33’连接的第一导向轮13同时到达第二转弯段17’与底部第二直线段16’的切点，这样分拣部件3两侧的第一导向轮13同时切换至底部的第一直线段16和第二直线段16’运动。以此类推。
如图5所示，第一引导件1和第二引导件1’均还包括限位件，限位件包括第二导向轮14，第二导向轮14固定在安装条12上，且沿安装条12的延伸方向与第一导向轮13间隔设置，第二导向轮14的轴线与第一导向轮13的轴线垂直，且第二导向轮14的外周面与轨道11的内侧壁114接触。为了防止第二导向轮14在运动的过程中发生倾斜，第二导向轮14包括两个同轴间隔设置的轮，且通过增加两个轮之间的间距可优化支撑效果。
该实施例能够通过第二导向轮14防止分拣部件3在运动过程中沿分拣方向y发生偏摆，提高分拣部件3运动的稳定性。
如图5和图6所示，第一引导件1和第二引导件1’中均包括多个第一导向轮13和多个第二导向轮14，多个第一导向轮13和多个第二导向轮14交替间隔设置。较优地，各组相邻第一导向轮13和多个第二导向轮14之间的距离相等。此种结构能够使 相邻分拣部件3保持预设间距，并保证所有分拣部件3的运动稳定可靠。
如图2所示，分拣部件3设有多个，多个分拣部件3串联设置，例如多个分拣部件3通过安装条12串联设置，且每个分拣部件3的底部均设有磁极板34，磁极板34可设在主体部31底部沿分拣方向y的中间位置，且磁极板34沿平行于第一直线段16的方向x延伸。分拣装置还包括直线电机2，设在第一引导件1和第二引导件1’之间，被配置为在磁极板34经过时驱动分拣部件3移动。直线电机2的数量可根据需要驱动力的大小设置。
该实施例通过设置直线电机2和磁极板34，能够使每个分拣部件3在经过直线电机2时，都能通过磁极板34切割磁感线产生电能，从而使经过直线电机2的分拣部件3获得电能，进而为所有分拣部件3的运动提供动力，无需设置链轮，可节省机加工量，并简化分拣装置的整体结构，使分拣装置轻量化。
如图5所示，直线电机2设在第一引导件1和第二引导件1’之间的中间位置，可通过支撑架23固定在安装架10’上。直线电机2上沿平行于第一直线段16的方向x设有槽21，槽21形成供磁极板34经过的通道，槽21的入口处设有引导部22，使槽21的入口形成宽度逐渐减小的V形通道，被配置为引导磁极板34进入槽21。
此种结构能够使磁极板34顺利进入槽21而获得动力，使各个分拣部件3的运行更加顺畅，防止出现运行卡滞的现象，从而提高分拣的可靠性和效率。
如图4和图5所示，分拣装置包括：滑触线集电器9，设在第一引导件1和第二引导件1’中的至少一个上；和电滑环8，设在分拣部件3上沿分拣方向y的侧面，被配置为在分拣部件3移动的过程中与滑触线集电器9保持接触，每个分拣部件3上均设有电滑环8。
由于分拣部件3相对于第一引导件1和第二引导件1’可移动，通过电滑环8与滑触线集电器9的配合进行供电，能够解决运动分拣部件3的供电和通讯。
例如，两个滑触线集电器9分别设在第一引导件1和第二引导件1’上，分拣部件3的两侧分别设有一个电滑环8，两侧的电滑环8分别与两侧的滑触线集电器9接触，这样在能够保证分拣部件3可靠供电和通信，提高物品分拣的可靠性。
为了安装滑触线集电器9，可在轨道11具有开口111的侧壁上固定安装架15，安装架15可以是板状结构等，滑触线集电器9固定在安装架15上，此种安装方式能够使滑触线集电器9更靠近分拣部件3。
下面说明本公开分拣装置的工作原理。分拣装置可用于出入库时对货物进行分 拣，或者用于包裹分拣等。如图1所示，多个分拣部件3沿着第一引导件1和第二引导件1’的延伸方向以预设距离间隔设置，各分拣部件3上均设有待分拣物品。以打包后的包裹分拣为例，调度系统根据包裹的配送区域确定分拣类型，例如，一部分箱体5用于接收将配送至R1区域的包裹，另一部分箱体5用于接收将配送至R2区域的包裹，依次类推。当分拣部件3运动至承载包裹对应的箱体5时，启动分拣部件3上的皮带传送部32，使包裹从一侧的滑道4落到对应的箱体5内。或者也可采用翻斗，通过翻斗的一端抬起卸下物品。当出现空闲的分拣部件3时，可重新实现物品的加载，可持续地实现物品的分拣。
