实施例一
一种分拣翻盘装置,如图1至图4所示,包括底座10、承载机构20和限位机构30,底座10用于设置在传动机构40上;承载机构20包括载货部21和转轴部22,载货部21上设有货物承载位,载货部21的重心和货物承载位均位于转轴部22的同一侧;转轴部22与底座10铰接,使承载机构20在载货部21的自身重力作用下可相对底座10旋转,或在载货部21与其承载货物的共同重力作用下相对底座10旋转;限位机构30设置于转轴部22远离载货部21的一侧,用于克服或释放载货部21的重力,使承载机构20保持在载货状态或转换为倾斜卸货状态。
具体地,底座10的作用在于将承载机构20与分拣系统的传动机构40进行连接,限位机构30的作用在于实现承载机构20的载货状态与倾斜卸货状态的切换。
如图1所示,承载机构20包括载货部21和转轴部22,载货部21上表面具有货物承载位,用于装载货物。在不需要卸货时,限位机构30对承载机构20施加作用力,使承载机构20克服其自身及货物的重力并保持 在载货状态,需要卸货时,限位机构30解除对承载机构20的作用力,使承载机构20在自身及货物的重力下倾斜旋转,载货部21上的货物自动滑入对应卸货位,完成卸货,实现动力装置不直接作用于承载机构20,就能够使货物从承载机构20移出,整个分拣翻盘装置结构简单,成本低。
载货状态时,载货部21既可以保持水平,也可以与水平面存在一定的角度,只要其能承载货物且货物不会滑落即可。卸货状态,载货部21倾斜一定角度,其目的在于使承载机构20所承载的货物能够滑落。
如图3所示,载货部21为一托盘,转轴部22为一托盘机架,托盘机架呈L型,包括水平段221和竖直段222,托盘装设在水平段221,当然,载货部21也可以为平板等其它结构形式。竖直段222设置在水平段221远离卸货位的一端,竖直段222与底座10铰接。转轴部22通过铰链与底座10连接,铰链位于底座10和传动机构40的传动链的正上方,将铰链设置在底座10和传动链的正上方,使底座10和传动链在运行时只承受承载机构向下的压力,没有侧向力,避免传动链受到侧向力导致传动链转动,从而减小对传动链和传动链轨道的磨损,增加传动链寿命。
水平段221与竖直段222相互垂直,竖直段222上设有多个固定孔,底座10固定在竖直段222远离水平段221的一端,竖直段222与底座10通过铰链可拆卸连接。
如图1所示,托盘表面设有货物滑移槽,货物滑移槽内设有若干导滑筋211,导滑筋211的长度方向与承载机构20的旋转轴线方向垂直,及导滑筋211的长度方向与承载机构20的翻转方向一致。
本实施例中,承载机构20具有磁性,如图1所示,限位机构30包括电磁铁31,电磁铁31设置在底座10上,开启电磁铁31时,电磁铁31吸附承载机构20,使承载机构20保持在载货状态,关闭电磁铁31时,电磁铁31松开承载机构20,承载机构20在重力作用下旋转至倾斜卸货状态。通过电磁铁 31实现对承载机构20的吸附和释放,使承载机构20在载货状态和倾斜卸货状态进行切换,无需复杂的动力机构直接作用在承载机构20上,整个分拣翻盘装置结构简单,成本低。
在实际应用中,可将承载机构20的载货部21设置为具有磁性,也可将承载机构20的转轴部22设置为具有磁性,或者是在转轴部22上设置磁吸件23,通过磁吸件23与电磁铁31的吸合来实现将承载机构20限定在载货状态。如图1所示,磁吸件23可为板件结构,电磁铁31的上表面与磁吸件23的下表面相吸合。优选地,如图4所示,磁吸件23通过一L形连接板24与托盘机架(转轴部22)连接,并且磁吸件23与L形连接板24之间设置有橡胶圈25。具体地,磁吸件23、L形连接板24以及橡胶圈25分别开设有位于同一轴线的通孔,可以通过使用螺栓或螺钉进行连接。磁吸件23通过L形连接板24与托盘机架(转轴部22)连接,使载货部21在卸货过程中更容易翻转,或使载货部21更容易受到电磁铁31的吸引。
限位机构30的电磁铁31由供电机构进行供电,供电机构可为与电磁铁31导线连接的电池,也可以为其它电力设备。
本实施例中,如图4所示,底座10包括依次连接的传动连接部11、铰接部12和电磁铁固定部13,传动连接部11一端设置有若干连接孔111,连接孔111与铰接部12具有一定距离,以用于连接传动机构40,传动连接部11另一端与铰接部12连接,铰接部12与转轴部22铰接,电磁铁31固定部位于铰接部12远离传动连接部11的一侧,电磁铁31可拆卸地设置于电磁铁固定部13。具体地,电磁铁31与电磁铁固定部13可以通过螺栓或者卡扣实现可拆卸连接。底座10的三段式结构,传动连接部11使承载机构20与传动链之间形成了必要的安全距离,避免承载机构20直接与用于安装传动机构40的机架干涉,铰接部12提供了转轴部22的铰接位置,而电磁铁固定部13与转轴部22之间形成了一定空间,便于电磁铁31的安装,使电磁铁31更加靠近转轴部22。
本实施例的限位机构30安装在底座10上,在传动机构40上设置多个分拣翻盘装置时,将分拣翻盘装置的底座10与传动机构40连接后,每个承载机构20均对应一个限位机构30,承载机构20未传送到对应的卸货位时,限位机构30吸附对应的承载机构20使其保持在载货状态,承载机构20传送到对应的卸货位时,限位机构30解除对承载机构20的吸附,使承载机构20由载货状态转换为倾斜卸货状态完成卸货。
优选地,如图1和图2所示,分拣翻盘装置还包括缓冲机构50,缓冲机构50包括弹性板51和柔性垫52,弹性板51的一端设置在底座10上,柔性垫52设置在弹性板51的另一端并位于载货部21的下方,且在载货部21的旋转范围内,使得在倾斜卸货状态,载货部21抵靠在柔性垫52表面。需要说明的是,弹性板51一端使与底座10可拆卸连接,另一端与载货部21地面相对应的一侧装设有柔性垫52,柔性垫52也可以装设在载货部21底面。通过在承载机构20下方装设缓冲机构50,使承载机构20在旋转卸货的过程中受到缓冲作用,避免直接与机架或其它物体直接撞击,造成设备损坏,该装置结构简单,可靠性高。
实施例二
一种分拣翻盘装置,如图5至图17所示,包括底座10、承载机构20和限位机构30,本实施例的限位机构30的结构与实施例一不同,其他相同部分在此不再赘述。
本实施例中,承载机构20不具备磁性,如图5和图6所示,承载机构20还包括滑移部26,滑移部26设置在转轴部22远离载货部21的一侧;如图9至图12所示,限位机构30包括限位件32和活动挡板33,限位件32位于滑移部26的上方,限位件32的边缘设有缺口321,活动挡板33可移动地设置在缺口321处;在载货状态,活动挡板33遮挡缺口321,对滑移部26施加向下的 作用力,以克服承载机构20的重力,使承载机构20保持在载货状态;在倾斜卸货状态,活动挡板33部分或全部移出缺口321,解除对滑移部26的下压力,使载货部21在重力作用下旋转由载货状态变为倾斜卸货状态。
如图7所示,滑移部26包括连接板261、定位板262和避让机构263,连接板261可同时与载货部21和转轴部22连接,或只与其中的一个连接,定位板262设置在连接板261的底部且位于连接板261靠近限位机构30的一侧,并朝向限位机构30延伸,具有与活动挡板33相对应的抵靠面;连接板261与定位板262通过避让机构263连接,其中,自然状态下,活动挡板33位于定位板262的正上方;避让状态下,定位板262位于活动挡板33的移动轨迹外。需要说明的是,抵靠面指的是在载货状态下,限位机构30对承载机构20施加作用力的面。通过设置避让机构263,可使定位板262在受力作用下相对连接板261发生位移,从而避免定位板262的直接撞击,避免承载机构20损坏。
如图7所示,避让机构263包括铰接轴2631和弹簧弹珠螺钉2632,连接板261与定位板262通过铰接轴2631铰接,铰接轴2631与承载机构20的旋转轴垂直,连接板261上设有避让孔,弹簧弹珠螺钉2632设置在定位板262上;在自然状态下,弹簧弹珠螺钉2632的弹珠伸入避让孔内,定位板262受外力撞击时,弹簧弹珠螺钉2632的弹珠退出避让孔,使定位板262相对连接板261可转动,定位板262由自然状态转换为避让状态。

实施例三

将多个分拣翻盘装置的底座10依次安装在传动链41上后,多个承载机构20即沿传动链41的传动方向设置,承载机构20在载货状态下经过装货段61进行货物装载,传动链41运动时带动承载机构20和限位机构30的电磁铁31一起运动,电磁铁31与承载机构20相吸,以在运动过程中将承载机构20保持在载货状态,承载机构20运动到对应的卸货位621时,电磁铁31解除对承载机构20的吸附,使承载机构20在自身重力作用旋转转换为倾斜卸货状态以完成卸货。本实施例中,不再利用其它动力机构驱动承载机构20卸货,使得整体机构简单,显著降低了分拣系统的造价,此外,限位机构30始终与承载机构20相对应,不仅可以准确控制承载机构20,而且结构简单、功耗小,可靠性高。
多个分拣翻盘装置依次装设在传动链41上后,转轴部22位于传动链41上方,载货部21悬空设置在机架60边缘,卸货位621位于机架60外侧。
在一优选实施方式中,如图21所示,动力组件包括电机42、动力链轮43和被动链轮44,其中,电机42竖直设置在机架60内侧的一端,电机42的转轴与动力链轮43固定连接,被动链轮44可旋转地设置在机架60内侧的另一端,传动链41绕设在动力链轮43和被动链轮44上形成环形链,且传动链41分别与动力链轮43和被动链轮44啮合。
如图33所示,传动机构40还包括导轨组件,导轨组件包括导轨固定板45、内导轨46和外导轨47,导轨固定板45装设在机架60上,内导轨46和外导轨47装设在导轨固定板45表面,且内导轨46和外导轨47之间留有间隙,用于限制传动链41;导轨固定板45表面设置有若干腰形孔,内导轨46和/或外导轨47通过螺纹连接件装设在腰形孔上,且腰形孔的直边与传动链41的运动方向垂直,以调节间隙。

限位机构30的供电机构80设置在传动链41上方,供电机构80具有与环形导体72相对应的电源输出触点81,多个供电机构80分别位于相邻两个底座10之间,多个供电机构80与多个限位机构30一一对应电连接,且任一相邻两个供电机构80之间的距离小于传动链41与环形导体72所在链轮的啮合长度,使至少有一供电机构80与环形导体72导通连接。
通过设置环形导体72,一方面,输入接头71与外部电源连接,持续为环形导体72传输电流,另一方面,供电机构80通过电源输出触点81与环形导体72连接为限位机构30输出电流,此外通过在传动链41上装设多个供电机构80,并且与限位机构30电连接,使分拣系统在运行过程中,至少有一个供电机构80与环形导体72导通,实现为多个限位机构30持续供电。
如图25所示,环形导体72外侧轴向平行设置有正极导体环721和负极导体环722,正极导体环721和负极导体环722之间留有间隙,其中,电源输入触点711包括两触点,分别与正极导体环721和负极导体环722之间具有滑动摩擦面。和/或,电源输出触点81包括两触点,分别与正极导体环721和负极导体环722之间具有滑动摩擦面。
在一优选实施例中,传动链41围绕机架60闭环设置,如图18所示,在卸货段62之后与载货段61之前还设有复位段63,如图34所示,在复位段63设有复位机构,复位机构包括复位杆631;复位杆631设置在载货部21的下方,复位杆631沿传动链41的运动方向延伸,在复位段63,复位杆631的高度依 次升高形成载货部21的复位轨道,以使载货部21在复位轨道支撑作用下进行复位。复位轨道由低到高设置,且位于载货部21下方,表面形成载货部21的滑移面,以使载货部21在复位轨道支撑作用下进行复位,当载货部21滑移至复位轨道的最高处时回复至载货状态,此时,限位机构30吸附承载机构20,使承载机构20保持在载货状态。
进一步地,如图18所示,装货段61之后,卸货段62之前还设有检测段64,检测段64设置有识别机构641,识别机构641与限位机构30通讯连接,识别机构641用于识别承载机构20放置的货物,以控制限位机构30。识别机构641可为摄像头或红外线检测设备等。

本实施例中,机架60通过金属杆以及钣金焊接或螺纹连接件组成而成,而装货段61、检测段64、复位段63以及卸货段62仅表示功能范围区域,在图30中,使用虚线框表示了除卸货段62以外的区域。
在实际应用中,首先将货物通过手动或自动的方式放置在承载机构20上,再通过动力机构驱动传动链41运动,使传动链41带动承载机构20从装货段61经过检测段64并传送至卸货段62,经过检测段64探头检测货物身份编码或二维码,当承载有货物的承载机构20达到该货物指定的卸货位621时,限位机构30的电磁铁31停止吸附承载机构20,使承载机构20朝向卸货位621翻转进行卸货,与此同时,其它承载机构20继续运输和卸载其它货物,实现 不同货物的分拣。

和/或:

实施例四
一种分拣系统,如图5至图17以及图27至图34所示,包括机架60、传动机构40和实施例二的分拣翻盘装置,机架60和传动机构40与实施例三中的结构相同,在此不再赘述。本实施例中,限位机构30设置在机架60上,限位机构30不随承载机构20一起运动。
限位机构30包括限位件32和活动挡板33,限位件32设置在传动链41内侧,限位件32的边缘与传动链41具有间隙且沿传动链41的运动方向间隔设有多个缺口321,多个缺口321与多个卸货位621一一对应设置,限位件32的底部沿传动链41的运动方向设有滑移轨道;承载机构20的滑移部26伸入限位件32下方并沿滑移轨道滑动;滑移部26滑动到缺口321处时,当活动挡板 33遮挡缺口321,承载机构20可保持载货状态通过缺口321,当活动挡板33部分或全部移出缺口321,承载机构20在重力作用下旋转并转换为倾斜卸货状态。活动挡板33可通过气缸、液压缸或电磁铁等进行驱动移动。
具体地,如图9至图12所示,限位件32可以为装设在机架60上端的板件,板件边缘设置多个缺口321,承载机构20移动到限位件32未设置缺口321的位置时,由限位件32自身对承载机构20施加向下的压力,使承载机构20保持载货状态,承载机构20移动到缺口321处时,若不需要卸货,则由活动挡板33对承载机构20施加向下的压力,使承载机构20保持载货状态,若需要卸货,则活动挡板33移出缺口321,承载机构20在重力作用下向卸货位621旋转,完成卸货。在其他实施方式中,限位件32还可以为装设在机架60上端的滑轨,滑轨边缘设置多个缺口321,当然,限位件32还可为其它不同的形式。限位件32的主要作用是:第一、形成滑移部26的滑轨,使承载机构20保持载货状态沿滑移轨道滑移;第二、形成可以配合活动挡板33的缺口321,使承载机构20在运输货物至对应的卸货位621时,活动挡板33离开缺口321,使滑移部26在载货部21的重力作用下向上翻转,与此同时,载货部21向下翻转,将货物倾倒在对应的卸货位621。
优选地,如图30所示,本实施例的传动机构40还包括检测段64和复位段63,装货段61、检测段64、卸货段62和复位段63沿传动链41的运动方向依次首尾连接,即装货段61首端与复位段63末端连接,检测段64和复位段63的结构与实施例三相同,此处不再进行赘述。
在运行过程中,不同承载机构20在装货段61依次上料,装货段61为起始段,通过检测段64时识别承载机构20上的货物编码,确认其对应的卸货位621,并将卸货信息传送至对应的限位机构30,当承载机构20承载该货物至对应的卸货位621时,限位机构30转换为卸货状态,使承载机构20在自身及货物的重力作用下翻转,货物滑移到对应卸货位621,由此完成一次卸料,再经 过复位段63复位后返回至装货段61。
优选地,如图7所示,滑移部26包括连接板261、定位板262和避让机构263,连接板261可同时与载货部21和转轴部22连接,或只与其中的一个连接,定位板262设置在连接板261的底部且位于连接板261靠近限位机构30的一侧,并朝向限位机构30延伸,具有与活动挡板33相对应的抵靠面;连接板261与定位板262通过避让机构263连接,其中,自然状态下,活动挡板33位于定位板262的正上方;避让状态下,定位板262位于活动挡板33的移动轨迹外。需要说明的是,抵靠面指的是在载货状态下,限位机构30对承载机构20施加作用力的面。
在实际应用中,承载机构20会随传动链41移动,在移动过程中,如果传动链41在承载机构20未完全转换为倾斜卸货状态时就开始继续移动,此时,承载机构20仅旋转一定角度并未完全转换为倾斜卸货状态,定位板262仍位于缺口321内,并未翻转至缺口321外,承载机构20继续移动时,定位板262会撞击到限位件32。本实施例通过设置避让机构263,可使定位板262在受力作用下相对连接板261发生位移,从而避免定位板262的直接撞击,避免承载机构20损坏。虽然此意外撞击出现后需要人工将定位板262复位,否则该承载机构20不能继续分拣,但是定位板262的转动动作可避免承载机构20的严重损坏或是停机的故障。
如图7所示,避让机构263包括铰接轴2631和弹簧弹珠螺钉2632,连接板261与定位板262通过铰接轴2631铰接,铰接轴2631与承载机构20的旋转轴垂直,连接板261上设有避让孔,弹簧弹珠螺钉2632设置在定位板262上;在自然状态下,弹簧弹珠螺钉2632的弹珠伸入避让孔内,定位板262受外力撞击时,弹簧弹珠螺钉2632的弹珠退出避让孔,使定位板262相对连接板261可转动,定位板262由自然状态转换为避让状态。
在自然状态下,弹簧弹珠螺钉2632的弹珠位于避让孔内,定位板262与 连接板261不可相对转动,弹珠和避让孔具有相互作用面,使弹珠在相对旋转连接板261与定位板262的过程中挤压移出避让孔,定位板262与连接板261此时仅通过铰接轴连接,定位板262可相对连接板261转动。至此本领域的技术人员应该理解,上述的创新点在于利用弹簧弹珠螺钉2632配合连接板261与定位板262达到只有在一定作用力的条件下才能迫使连接板261与定位板262发生相对转动,从而实现定位板262在移动过程中,没有障碍物可沿保持自然状态,撞击障碍物可旋转避让的技术效果。因此,现有技术中可以替换弹簧弹珠螺钉2632的弹簧、扭簧等弹力机构均在本专利的保护范围内。
本实施例还提供一种分拣系统的分拣方法,包括:
S100在装货段61将货物放置在承载机构20上;
S200在传动机构40的驱动下,承载机构20进入卸货段62,并移动到对应的卸货位621;
S300限位机构30解除对承载机构20的作用力,使承载机构20在自身重力及货物重力下朝向卸货位621倾斜并进行卸货。
优选地,在步骤S100之后,步骤S200之前还包括:
承载机构20运输货物至检测段64识别货物的信息,计算货物到达对应卸货位621的时间或距离,并发送卸货信号至对应的限位机构30;
和/或:
步骤S300之后还包括:
承载机构20继续移动,进入复位段63,在复位段63承载机构20恢复至水平载货状态;
承载机构20返回至装货段61,重新装载其它货物。
在实际应用中,分拣系统中设有传感器,检测传动链41及托盘的行进距离,并设有清零板,传动链41每行进一个整圈时清零板经过一个传感器一次,可以将传动链41及托盘的行进距离清零一次,避免形成累积误差。分拣系统 可连续不间断工作;结构简单,低成本,方式简单直接,运行稳定,可实现非同一格口的同时投递。此外,承载机构20翻转卸货后,该承载机构20继续移动,与此同时活动挡板33立即复位,以使后面其它的承载机构20正常运行通过。
以上所述仅是本发明的优选实施方式,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明原理的前提下,还可以做出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也应视为本发明的保护范围。
