In the first state, the carrier 200 is aligned, i.e. two ends of the carrier 200 are in a constant-height state;

in the second state, the stage 200 is tilted left, i.e., the left end of the stage 200 is lower than the right end;

In the third state, the stage 200 is tilted to the right, i.e., the left end of the stage 200 is higher than the right end.

In the sorting process, the driving mechanism 300 supplies and conveys the carrier 200 in the aligned state, when the carriage 100 moves to the target bagging position, the driving mechanism 300 drives the carrier 200 to rotate and switch to the second state or the third state, so that the packages on the carrier 200 fall to the corresponding bagging positions under the action of gravity, and after sorting is completed, the driving mechanism 300 drives the carrier 200 to reversely rotate and reset to the aligned state.

In particular, as shown in fig. 2, the frame 100 may have a frame structure with sufficient support and a certain installation space, in this embodiment, the frame 100 includes two parallel long side plates 110, which are approximately trapezoidal overall, and are connected by a set of connectors 120, where a mounting plate 130 is fixed to the middle of the top of each long side plate, and bearings (not shown) are coaxially disposed on the two mounting plates 130, and the carrier 200 is connected to the frame 100 by a rotating shaft 210 inserted into the inner holes of the two bearings and can rotate relative to the frame 100, where the rotating shaft 210 may be a long shaft or two coaxial and separated short shafts.

In actual use, the frame 100 may be disposed on the guide rail and supported by the support guide rail, the frame 100 and the guide rail may be slidably connected or rollably connected, in order to achieve the rolling connection to reduce wear, as shown in fig. 2, support rollers 140 are disposed on the outer sides of the connecting members 120 at two ends of the frame 100, the number of the support rollers 140 may be selected as required, preferably between 1 and 3, more preferably 2, and the axes of the support rollers 140 extend horizontally and are perpendicular to the rotating shaft 210 where the carrier 200 is connected to the frame 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the support roller 140 is not required and may be omitted.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the carrier 200 includes two parallel side plates 220, and the two side plates 220 may be located inside or outside the two long side plates 110. The three vertexes of the side plate 220 are distributed in an isosceles triangle and are inverted, namely two vertexes 221 and 222 corresponding to the bottoms of the isosceles triangle are arranged on the upper side, two vertexes 223 connected with the waists are arranged on the lower side, the rotating shaft 210 is vertically connected to the side plate 220 and is close to the vertexes 223, and the axis of the rotating shaft 210 is in a plane formed by the two vertexes 223 of the two side plates and the midpoint 224 of the bottoms. The two side plates 220 are connected by a connecting rod 230, and the top of them is provided with a top plate 240, and both ends of the top plate 240 extend to the outside of both ends of the long side plate 110.

The top plate 240 may be a flat plate, in a more preferred manner, in order to avoid the sliding of the articles caused by vibration of the sorting trolley, as shown in fig. 3, the top surface of the top plate 240 adopts two first top surfaces 241 and second top surfaces 242 which are symmetrically connected and keep an obtuse angle a of not less than 120 degrees, further, an included angle between them is not less than 150 degrees, and a connection edge of the first top surfaces 241 and the second top surfaces 242 is lower than an outer side edge of the first top surfaces 241 and the second top surfaces 242. Of course, in other embodiments, the first top surface 241 and the second top surface 242 may not be symmetrically disposed, such that the entire top 240 may be configured as a V-groove, thereby preventing articles from being removed from the two ends of the top plate 240 to some extent.

In other embodiments, side guards (not shown) extending to the top surface of the top plate 240 may be provided vertically on both sides of the top plate 240, so that packages may be better prevented from falling off the top plate 240.

As shown in fig. 1, the driving mechanism 300 includes a motor 310 fixed on the frame 100, however, in other embodiments, the motor 310 may be replaced by a rotary cylinder, etc., the motor 310 is fixed on a motor mounting seat 150 inside one long side plate 110 and spaced from the other long side plate, an output shaft 311 of the motor is in tangent connection with the rotating shaft 210 and is coaxially connected with a driving wheel 320, the driving wheel 320 is connected with a driven wheel 340 through a synchronous belt 330, and the driven wheel 340 is coaxially connected with the rotating shaft 210, so that the motor 310 can drive the rotating shaft 210 to rotate reversely when started to realize the rotation of the carrier 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving wheel 320, the timing belt 330, and the driven wheel 340 may be replaced by sprockets and chains or gears.

More preferably, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 4, the motor 310 is a dual-output shaft speed reducing motor, one end 312 of the motor, which is not connected with the driving wheel, is coaxially connected with the driving wheel 350, a driving belt 360 is sleeved on the driving wheel 350, the driving belt 360 is further sleeved on two supporting rollers 370, the two supporting rollers 370 are equal in height, and are close to two ends of the long side plate 110, and of course, the distance between the two supporting rollers 370 can be adjusted as required. Meanwhile, the long side plate 110 is further provided with a tensioning roller 380 located outside the driving belt 360 and clung to the driving belt, and a triggering member (not shown in the figure) may be further disposed on the driving belt 360, and the triggering member moves between the two supporting rollers 370 along with the driving belt, so that the state of the carrier 200 can be determined by triggering the sensors at different positions through the triggering member. In this structure, since the motor 310 rotates when receiving a torque force sufficiently large from the outside, the articles of light weight, such as letters, clothing items, etc., which are generally placed on the carrier 200, are possible. The driving wheel 350, the driving belt 360, the supporting roller 370 and the tensioning roller 380 form a first driving mechanism.

Of course, in a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, in order to be able to sort heavy articles, the driving belt 360 is provided with a guiding wheel 390 located below the frame 100, and the axis of the guiding wheel 390 is vertical and can rotate.

When the carrier 200 is in the aligned state, the guide wheel 390 is located in the middle of the belt 360; when the carrier 200 is tilted left, the guide wheel 390 is located at the right end of the driving belt 360; when the carrier 200 is tilted right, the guide wheel is positioned at the left end of the belt 360.

Of course, in other embodiments, the flap sorting trolley may also adopt an unpowered structure, i.e. the motor 310 is omitted, and a transmission shaft rotatably fixed on the motor mount 160 is used to replace the motor 310, at this time, the guiding wheel 390 may be driven to move left and right in other manners, so that the state switching of the carrier is realized through the driving belt 360, the driving wheel 350, the transmission shaft, the driving wheel, the synchronous belt and the driven wheel, and specific implementation structures will be specifically described in the following embodiments and will not be repeated herein. At this time, the driving wheel 350, the transmission shaft, the driving wheel, the synchronous belt, and the driven wheel form a second transmission mechanism, and the second transmission mechanism and the first transmission mechanism form a transmission mechanism together.
