Sorting system

Abstract

The invention discloses a sorting system. The sorting system comprises a conveying mechanism and a control system. The conveying mechanism comprises a rack, two rollers, a chain and multiple trolleys,wherein the two rollers are arranged on the rack at intervals in the first horizontal direction, the chain is wound on the two rollers, and the multiple trolleys are connected to the chain and sequentially arranged in the first horizontal direction; and each trolley comprises a trolley body and a sorting and conveying mechanism arranged on the trolley body, the bottom of each trolley body is connected to the chain, and the sorting and conveying mechanisms are configured to bear and convey packages in the second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The controlsystem comprises a controller connected to the conveying mechanism, and the controller is configured to control the conveying mechanism to convey the packages in the first horizontal direction and isconfigured to independently control the sorting and conveying mechanisms of the trolleys to convey the packages in the second horizontal direction. According to the sorting system, the pitch of the trolleys can be reduced, transportation resources are saved, and parcels can be thrown more accurately and adjusted in position.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of logistics devices, and in particular to a sorting system. Background technique [0002] In the logistics industry, when sorting packages, cross-belt sorters are usually used. Currently, the most commonly used sorters are circular cross-belt sorters and vertical cross-belt sorters. The cross belt sorter is a closed conveying and sorting system composed of a group of trolleys, generally in a ring shape. The trolley moves along the track. The surface belt of the trolley can rotate in the horizontal and vertical direction of the movement of the trolley to put the parcels into the corresponding grid. In the mouth. However, the current circular cross-belt sorter and vertical cross-belt sorter have a long turning radius and a long trolley pitch (the trolley pitch refers to the distance between the central axes of two adjacent trolleys), usually 600mm , A small package also needs to occupy a trolley, resulting in a ...

Problems solved by technology

However, the current circular cross-belt sorter and vertical cross-belt sorter have a radius of gyration, and the trolley pitch is long (the trolley pitch refers to the distance between the central axes of two adjacent trolleys), usually 600mm , small packages also need to occupy a small car, resulting in a waste of transportation resources

In addition, when the package is transported on the trolley, it may be skewed, causing throwing obstacles. If the pitch of the trolley is large, a trolley can only carry one package. It is difficult to automatically correct the package, and the correction is not accurate.
