detailed description

The principles and features of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain related inventions, rather than to limit the invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the invention are shown in the drawings.

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which shows a front structural view of an embodiment of the distribution equipment provided by the present application. As shown in FIG. 1 , the distribution equipment may include a frame 11 , a driving assembly 12 , a tray 13 and a picking assembly 14 .

In this embodiment, the driving assembly 12 can be fixed on the frame 11, but the specific fixing position is not limited in this application. The tray 13 is used for storing goods 10 and is fixedly connected with the driving assembly 12 at the same time. In this way, under the action of the driving assembly 12 , the tray 13 can reciprocate along the frame 11 , so that the picking assembly 14 can pick up the goods 10 on the tray 13 . This can replace manual distribution and help improve distribution efficiency. At this time, the frame 11 can not only play the role of fixed support, but also play the role of guide rail. And under the premise of satisfying the requirement of supporting strength, the frame 11 may not be limited to a steel structure.

In this embodiment, the direction in which the tray moves along the frame, the quantity of goods stored on the tray, and the size and shape of the tray can be designed according to actual conditions. As an example, as shown in FIG. 2 , multiple grids may be provided on the pallet 13 , and at least one item may be placed in each grid. It should be noted that the goods placed in the same grid are the same, for example, they are all audio-visual products of the first album of the same singer. The goods placed in different grids can be different, for example, audio-visual products of different singers are placed in different grids, or different audio-visual products of the same singer are placed in different grids. Here, audio-visual products refer to physical physical products such as audio tapes, video tapes, records, CDs, and CDs with packaging boxes and recorded content. The goods placed in each grid on the pallet 13 can be random. At this time, in order to realize distribution, it is necessary to input the product information of the products placed in each grid into the control system. Wherein, the product information may include at least one of the following items: product code, product name, product model, and the like. However, in order to further improve the distribution efficiency, the goods placed in each grid can also be preset. That is, within a certain period of time, the goods placed in each grid are fixed, which can reduce the number of times of entering goods information.

At this time, as shown in Figure 1, the control system can first determine the position of the goods indicated by the goods information in the pallet 13 according to the goods information in the order; then control the drive assembly 12 to work so that the pallet 13 moves along the first direction Until the column where the grid of the item is placed is located below the pick-up assembly 14; then the pick-up assembly 14 is controlled to move along the second direction until the grid where the item is placed is located below it; finally the pick-up assembly 14 is controlled to move along the third direction to pick up the item . As an example, under the action of the driving assembly 12, the tray 13 can first move along the first direction until the column where the item is placed is located under the pick-up assembly 14, and then move along the second direction until the column where the item is placed is located under the pick-up assembly. Below the assembly 14. Here, the drive assembly may include various power drive components commonly used in the prior art, such as linear motors, ball screws, cylinders, and the like.

In order to improve the stability of the movement of the tray 13 , the tray 13 and the frame 11 can be slidably connected to realize reciprocating movement along the frame 11 . For example, a slider 131 is installed on the tray 13 , and the slider 131 moves along the frame 11 or a guide rail installed on the frame 11 . In addition, in order to improve the accuracy of distribution and reduce the error rate, a logo can also be set on the side of the goods facing the picking component, and a marking reader is set on the picking component. In this way, before the picking component picks up the goods, the identification on the goods can be read by the identification reader, so as to determine whether the goods are the goods indicated by the goods information in the order. Wherein, the identification may include characters or pictures, such as barcodes, two-dimensional codes, color blocks, and the like. Logo readers can be various electronic products capable of reading logos, such as code scanners, cameras, etc.

It can be understood that, in order to further improve the distribution efficiency, the same goods can be placed on the same pallet. The tray can reciprocate along the frame in a direction perpendicular to the ground, or can reciprocate along the frame in a direction parallel to the ground. And the goods on the pallet are arranged sequentially along the moving direction of the pallet, so that the picking component can pick up the nearest goods. For details, please refer to FIG. 3 , which shows a front structural view of another embodiment of the distribution equipment provided by the present application. As shown in FIG. 3 , the distribution equipment also includes a frame 31 , a drive assembly, a tray 33 and a pick-up assembly. In order to reduce the occupied area of the distribution equipment and increase the space utilization rate, the tray 33 can be reciprocally lifted and lowered along the frame 31 under the action of the drive assembly. At this time, the pick-up assembly is located at the top of the frame 31 to facilitate picking up the goods 30 .

In this embodiment, the driving assembly may include a driving motor 321 , a pulley 322 and a belt 323 . As shown in FIG. 3 , under the drive of the driving motor 321 , the pulley 322 and the belt 323 located on both sides of the tray 33 can rotate in opposite directions at a constant speed. At this time, the tray 33 can be fixedly connected with the belts 323 on both sides, so that the lifting movement of the tray 33 can be realized by driving the motor 321 to rotate forward or reverse. As shown in FIG. 4 , the side of the tray 33 is fixedly connected to the belt 323 close to the side through structures such as screws and fixing plates. The drive motor 321 can realize the constant speed and reverse rotation of the belt 323 located on both sides of the tray 33 through structures such as a transmission belt 324 and a transmission gear (not shown in the figure). As an example, in order to simplify the structure of the driving assembly, two driving motors may be provided to respectively drive the belts 323 on both sides of the tray 33 to rotate.

As can be seen from FIG. 3 , in order to improve the versatility of the tray 33 , the tray 33 can be a tray with a flat structure, so that goods of different sizes can be stacked on the tray 33 in sequence. At this time, in order to ensure that the goods 30 can move stably with the pallet 33 , the distribution equipment may include a plurality of fixing rods 35 for fixing the goods 30 on the pallet 33 . As shown in FIG. 3 , the fixing rod 35 can be fixed on the frame 31 , and its relative position to the tray 33 can be adjusted. That is to say, the fixing position of the fixing rod 35 on the frame 31 is adjustable. When the size of the goods 30 is larger than the size of the pallet 33 , the fixing rod 35 can be disposed on the periphery of the pallet 33 . When the size of the goods 30 is smaller than that of the pallet 33 , the fixing rod 35 can be disposed inside the pallet 33 , that is, the fixing rod 35 passes through the pallet 33 . At this time, as shown in FIG. 5 , a plurality of through hole slots may be formed on the tray 33 to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the fixing rod 35 . It can be understood that, since the fixed rod 35 is fixedly connected with the frame 31 , the fixed rod 35 will not move up and down together with the tray 33 . As an example, the fixing rods can also be fixed on the pallet, and are used for fixing items whose dimensions are not larger than the pallet. At this time, a plurality of through holes or threaded holes for installing the fixing rods may be formed on the tray, so as to adjust the positions of the fixing rods. At this time, because the fixed rod will move up and down with the pallet, it is necessary to ensure that the frame, pick-up components, etc. will not interfere with the fixed rod during structural design.

Optionally, in order to enable the tray 33 to move stably along the frame 31 , a guide assembly 331 may also be provided on the tray 33 . As an example, as shown in FIG. 4 , rollers 331 are installed on at least three sides of the tray 33 , and the rollers 331 can move along grooves in the frame 31 , so that the tray 33 moves along the frame 31 .

It can be understood that the picking component may include various structures commonly used in the prior art for picking up goods, such as manipulators, mechanical claws, suction cups, and the like. As an example, as shown in FIG. 4 , the picking assembly may include a moving assembly 341 , a lifting assembly 342 and a picking end 343 . The pick-up end 343 moves up and down in a direction perpendicular to the ground under the action of the lifting assembly 342 . The pick-up end 343 and the lifting assembly 342 can simultaneously move back and forth in a direction parallel to the ground under the action of the moving assembly 341 . The method for picking up the goods by the pick-up end 343 may include but not limited to suction cup adsorption or clamping claw clamping and the like.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4 , the distribution equipment can also be provided with a detection component 36 (the installation position of which is only schematic) for detecting the status of the goods on the tray 33 . The status of the goods here may include whether there are goods on the pallet and the position of the goods. For example, when the detection component 36 detects that there is no product on the tray 33, it can send a signal to the control system. After receiving the signal, the control system can display relevant prompt information on the display terminal, and/or control related equipment to issue an alarm (such as whistle and/or flashing lights, etc.). At this time, driven by the drive assembly, the tray 33 can drop to the bottom of the frame 31 . In this way, corresponding goods 30 can be added to the pallet 33 manually or in other ways.

At this time, the distribution process of the distribution equipment may mainly include the following steps: after the distribution equipment receives the control command, the drive motor 321 drives the belt 323 to rotate, and the belt 323 drives the tray 33 to rise; the detection component 36 detects the movement of the goods on the tray 33 position, and send a signal when the top item in the tray 33 reaches the preset height, so that the driving motor 321 stops driving; at the same time, the lifting assembly 342 (such as an electric lifting rod) drives the pick-up end 343 (such as a suction cup assembly) to drop to the tray 33 The surface of the uppermost item in the middle; after the pick-up end 343 picks up (such as sucking) the item, the lifting assembly 342 drives the pick-up end 343 to rise to a certain height; then the moving assembly 341 drives the lifting assembly 342 and the pick-up end 343 Move to the top of the preset position along the direction of the arrow; finally, the lifting assembly 342 drives the pick-up end 343 to descend, so as to place the picked-up goods at the preset position. It is understandable that due to factors such as environmental or manufacturing errors, parts such as the tray and the pick-up end may vibrate a little during the process of moving along the preset direction.

The application also provides a distribution device. The distribution device may include a first conveying line and a plurality of distribution equipment described in the above embodiments. For details, please refer to FIG. 6 , which shows a top structural view of an embodiment of the distribution device provided by the present application.

In this embodiment, each distribution equipment can be arranged along at least one side of the first conveying line, and is used to provide goods to the first conveying line. As shown in FIG. 6 , each distribution equipment 1 is arranged in sequence along the same side of the first conveying line 2 . Moreover, the same goods are stored on the same distribution equipment 1 , and different goods are stored on different distribution equipment 1 . In this way, the control system can control the distribution equipment 1 storing the goods indicated by the goods information to provide goods to the first conveying line 2 according to the goods information in the order. After that, the process of packing and packing the goods can be carried out manually. The distribution of goods through the distribution device can not only reduce the manual workload and labor intensity, improve the efficiency of distribution, but also reduce the probability of human error. It is understandable that in order to avoid damage to the goods during the distribution process, the goods are usually goods with outer packaging.

In order to further improve distribution efficiency and reduce labor costs, as shown in FIG. 6 , the distribution device may further include a manipulator 3 , a temporary storage box 4 , a distribution tray 5 and a second conveying line 6 . The manipulator 3 can be located between the first conveying line 2 and the distribution pallet 5 , and is used to place the goods on the first conveying line 2 on the distribution pallet 5 . Wherein, the goods in the same order are placed on the same pallet. The second conveying line 6 is used to convey the pallet 5 on which the goods are placed to a preset process (such as a packing process). The temporary storage box 4 can be used for temporarily storing the goods on the first conveying line 2 . For example, when the manipulator 3 and/or the second conveyor line 6 fails, the goods on the first conveyor line 2 can be temporarily stored in the temporary storage box 4 manually, so as not to affect the distribution of subsequent orders and the packaging after distribution Waiting for work. The specific positional relationship of each part in the distribution device can be referred to as shown in Fig. 6-Fig. 8 .

At this time, the distribution process of the distribution device (as shown by the arrow in Figure 6) may mainly include the following steps: the control system controls the corresponding distribution equipment 1 to place the goods on the pallet on the first conveying line 2 according to the order information Above; the first conveyor line 2 transports the goods to the area where the manipulator 3 is located; the manipulator 3 grabs the goods after detecting the goods, and places them in the distribution tray 5 until all the goods in an order information are placed on the distribution In the tray 5; finally control the second conveying line 6 to transport the distribution tray 5 to the packaging process.
