Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of embodiments of the invention are included to assist understanding, and which are to be considered as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cross-belt sorter 4 including: the device comprises a discharging device 1, an analysis and recognition device 2 and a cross belt sorting machine body 3; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the discharging device 1 is arranged above the cross belt sorting machine body 3 in a spanning mode;

the analysis and recognition device 2 is used for acquiring images of the articles transported by the cross belt sorting machine body 3 in real time and recognizing the state of the articles 8 on the cross belt sorting machine body 3 according to the images of the articles;

the discharge device 1 is configured to move the article 8 in an abnormal state to a target position when the article is in the abnormal state.

In the above embodiment, after the abnormal-state article 8 on the cross-belt sorter body 3 is recognized by the analyzing and recognizing device 2, the abnormal-state article 8 is automatically moved to the target position by the discharging device 1 straddling the cross-belt sorter body 3. Therefore, the articles 8 with abnormal states can be cleaned automatically and timely, labor can be saved compared with a mode of manually processing the articles 8 with abnormal states, and the sorting efficiency of the cross belt sorting machine 4 is improved.

Among these, the articles 8 in abnormal condition are generally articles that are not transported to the sorting carts 5 located on the cross belt sorter body 3, such as articles or parcels that stay between two sorting carts 5.

In particular, as shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment of the invention, said discharge device 1 comprises a discharge member; wherein, the analyzing and recognizing device 2 is further configured to determine a real-time position of the article 8 with abnormal state, and based on the real-time position and the target position, the unloading member is caused to move along the article 8 with abnormal state and move along the first direction Y when moving to the unloading position, so as to move the article 8 with abnormal state to the target position.

For example, when the analysis and recognition device 2 determines that the distance between the article 8 with the abnormal state and the discharging component is smaller than the preset threshold value according to the real-time position of the article 8 with the abnormal state, the discharging component is controlled to move along the first direction Y. The first direction Y is preferably a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the crossbelt sorter body 3, that is, when the moving condition is satisfied, a line connecting the real-time position of the abnormally-conditioned article 8 and the corresponding target position is parallel to the first direction Y, and in other words, when the abnormally-conditioned article 8 is transported on the crossbelt sorter body 3 to face the discharge member, the discharge member is controlled to move in the first direction Y to accurately push the abnormally-conditioned article 8.

Of course, since the articles 8 with abnormal state are generally packages or goods with a certain space volume, when the articles 8 with abnormal state are pushed by the discharging member, the articles 8 with abnormal state may be slightly deviated, that is, the discharging member may move the articles 8 with abnormal state without aligning with the center of the articles 8 with abnormal state, in other words, when the included angle formed by the connecting line of the real-time position and the target position and the first direction Y is smaller than the angle threshold, the discharging member may be moved toward the first direction Y, wherein the angle threshold may be set according to the actual requirement and the size of the article volume, and the like, for example, the angle threshold is set to be 1 ° to 15 °.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the discharging device 1 may further include: a first drive component, a first guide assembly and a first connecting component; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the first guide assembly is supported above the cross belt sorting machine body 3, and the arrangement direction of the first guide assembly is parallel to the first direction Y; the discharging part is connected with the first guide assembly through the first connecting part; the first driving part is used for driving the first connecting part to move along the first guide assembly so as to drive the discharging part to move along the first direction Y.

The first guiding component may be in various forms, such as a guide rail, a sliding groove, a rack, and the like, and the first connecting component matches with the first guiding component, and may also be in various forms, for example, the first connecting component may be a gear, a pulley, a connecting plate, or a connecting plate with a pulley, and the like.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the first guide assembly includes: a first rack 112 and a first linear guide 114, the first driving part being a first motor 111, and the first connecting part being a first connecting plate 113;

the first rack 112 and the first linear guide 114 are disposed in parallel to each other.

Therefore, when the first motor 111 is driven by the analysis and recognition device 2 to operate, the first gear on the first motor 111 rotates, and the first rack 112 engaged with the first gear is driven therewith, so as to drive the first connecting plate 113 connected with the first rack 112 to move, and through the guiding effect of the first linear guide 114, the first connecting plate 113 makes a linear motion in the first direction Y, and further drives the discharging component connected with the first connecting plate 113 to move in the first direction Y. Therefore, the article 8 with abnormal state can be pushed by the movement of the discharging part in the first direction Y, so that the parameters such as the moving distance and the moving speed of the discharging part in the first direction Y can be controlled by controlling the working parameters such as the working time and the power of the motor, and the moving distance of the discharging part to the article 8 with abnormal state is further controlled, so that the article 8 with abnormal state can be accurately moved to the target position.

It is worth mentioning that two first linear guides 114 may be provided in parallel to each other at both sides corresponding to the first connection plate 113 so as to guide the first connection plate 113.

In addition, the back surface of the first connecting plate 113 is a surface thereof close to the cross-belt sorter body 3, and correspondingly, the front surface of the first connecting plate 113 is a surface thereof far from the cross-belt sorter body 3. The front and rear surfaces of the second connecting plate 122 and the third connecting plate 132 described below are also described by the same rule.

In order to move the articles 8 with different volume sizes and abnormal states and improve the accuracy of the discharging device on the articles 8 with abnormal states, the discharging device 1 can also move up and down, that is, the analyzing and identifying device 2 can stop the discharging part in the discharging device 1 at a height suitable for the articles 8 with abnormal moving states and then control the discharging part to move towards the first direction Y, and when the articles 8 with abnormal moving states are not needed, the discharging part can be controlled to move upwards to collect the discharging part, so that the articles on the cross belt sorting machine body 3 can be moved conveniently.

In particular, with continued reference to fig. 5, the discharge device 1 further comprises: a second motor 121, a second connection plate 122, and a second rack 123; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

Fig. 4 and 5 illustrate a case where the second connection plate 122 and the first connection plate 113 are different connection plates, in which case the second motor 121 is disposed on either the front or the rear of the second connection plate 122. In the case that the first connecting plate 113 and the second connecting plate 122 are the same connecting plate, the second motor 121 may be disposed on the front surface of the second connecting plate 122 in order to facilitate the layout of the second motor 121 and the first motor 111 and ensure that the second gear of the second motor 121 is engaged with the second rack 123. Of course, when the first connecting plate 113 and the second connecting plate 122 are the same connecting plate and the connecting plate area is large, the first motor 111 and the second motor 121 may be both disposed on the back surface of the second connecting plate 122, as shown in fig. 6.

In order to facilitate the guiding function of the second connecting rod 115b and the accurate position limitation of the first connecting rod 115a, as shown in fig. 5, in one embodiment of the present invention, the cross section of the first connecting rod 115a is square, and the cross section of the second connecting rod 115b is circular; accordingly, the connection hole through which the first connection rod 115a passes is square, and the connection hole through which the second connection rod 115b passes is circular.

In addition, the connecting rod 115 may be configured to be retractable, that is, the connecting rod 115 is a retractable rod, and the up-and-down movement of the pushing portion 116 may also be achieved by controlling the extension and retraction of the retractable rod through the analysis and recognition device 2. The pushing portion 116 may have a plate-like structure or may be a hard brush.

the second driving component is configured to drive the two synchronous belts 133 to move along the second direction X under the driving of the analysis and recognition device 2, so that the two synchronous belts 133 drive the third connecting plate 132 to move along the second direction X.

Thus, the analyzing and recognizing device 2 can operate by driving the second driving unit, so that the second driving unit drives the two driving wheels 135 to rotate, thereby driving the two synchronous belts 133 to transmit, and thus the third connecting plate 132 moves linearly in the second direction X under the guidance of the second linear guide 134.

In order to facilitate the cooperation of the components of the discharging device 1, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 9, two sliding rails 136 are disposed on the third connecting plate 132, the sliding rails 136 are disposed in a direction parallel to the first direction Y, and the two connecting rods 115 respectively penetrate through the first connecting plate 113 and the two sliding rails 136.

Through two connecting rods 115 respectively running through the first connecting plate 113 and the two sliding rails 136, when the discharging part moves up and down, through the transmission of the first rack 123, the two connecting rods 115 can pass through the two sliding rails 136, and along with the upward movement of the discharging part, the length of the part of the connecting rod 115 penetrating through the sliding rails 136 is longer, and along with the downward movement of the discharging part, the length of the part of the connecting rod 115 penetrating through the sliding rails 136 is shortened. In addition, when the discharging member moves to the first direction Y, the two connecting rods 115 can also move to the first direction Y in the two sliding rails 136, which facilitates the linear guiding of the connecting rods 115.

In summary, in the embodiment of the invention, after the analyzing and identifying device identifies the abnormally-conditioned article on the cross-belt sorter body, the discharging device straddling the cross-belt sorter body can automatically move the abnormally-conditioned article to the target position. Therefore, the articles with abnormal states can be cleaned automatically and timely, labor can be saved compared with a mode of manually processing the articles with abnormal states, and the sorting efficiency of the cross belt sorting machine is improved.

In another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, there is further provided an application method of the cross belt sorting machine according to any one of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 10, the method may include the following steps:

step S1001: acquiring images of articles transported by a cross belt sorting machine body in real time by using an analysis and recognition device, and recognizing the state of the articles on the cross belt sorting machine body according to the images of the articles;

step S1002: and when the state of the article is abnormal, moving the article with the abnormal state to a target position.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, after the analyzing and identifying device identifies the abnormal-state articles on the cross belt sorting machine body, the discharging device arranged across the cross belt sorting machine body can automatically move the abnormal-state articles to the target position. Therefore, the articles with abnormal states can be cleaned automatically and timely, labor can be saved compared with a mode of manually processing the articles with abnormal states, and the sorting efficiency of the cross belt sorting machine is improved.
