The single-layer package supply chute is an important component in logistics automation sorting systems, mainly characterized by the following features:
1. Structural characteristics
Simple and compact:
The single-layer structure design makes the packaging chute relatively simple, usually consisting of an inclined chute body and some auxiliary components. This simple structure makes it occupy relatively little space and can be easily installed in the limited space of logistics sorting centers, such as on one side of an automatic sorting machine, without taking up too much space.
The compact design also facilitates integration with other devices, such as conveyor belts, scanning equipment, etc., forming an efficient package sorting process.
Easy to maintain:
Due to its simple structure, its maintenance work is relatively easy. Without complex multi-layer structures and numerous mechanical transmission components, it reduces the number of failure points. When maintenance is needed, the staff can quickly locate and solve the problem. For example, if there is wear or foreign object blockage on the surface of the chute, it can be visually detected and cleaned or repaired.
2. Functional features
Good package stability:
The package chute is designed to tilt and use gravity to allow packages to naturally slide down. Under reasonable chute slope and surface friction settings, packages can enter the sorting system at a stable speed and posture. For example, for small packages with regular shapes, they can be correctly slid to a certain sorting position to avoid rolling, collision, and other situations that may affect sorting efficiency during transportation.
And it can adapt to the stable supply needs of different types of packages by adjusting the inclination angle of the chute and the internal buffering device (such as adding buffering rubber strips) according to the size, weight and other characteristics of the package.
Adjustable speed:
Although gravity is mainly used for packaging, the sliding speed of the package can be adjusted through some auxiliary means. For example, adjustable resistance devices can be installed on the chute to control the speed of packages entering the sorting machine according to the processing speed and package flow rate of the sorting system. When the sorting system is busy, it can accelerate the supply speed of packages; When there is a brief malfunction or congestion in the sorting system, the speed can be slowed down to avoid the accumulation of packages.
Strong adaptability to packages:
Capable of handling multiple types of packages. For packages of different shapes (such as square, circular, irregular) and materials (such as cardboard boxes, plastic packaging, cloth bags, etc.), as long as their dimensions are within the design range of the chute, they can pass through. However, for packages that are too small in size or have overly smooth surfaces, it may be necessary to add some auxiliary guiding devices or anti slip measures in the chute to ensure their normal transportation.
3. Cost characteristics
Low cost:
The design and manufacturing of single-layer packaging chutes are relatively simple, without complex multi-layer transmission and control structures, resulting in lower manufacturing costs. In the construction of logistics sorting systems, this helps to reduce overall equipment procurement costs. And its installation process is relatively simple, without the need for complex installation tools and a large amount of manpower investment, which can also reduce installation costs.
Due to its simple structure, the energy consumption during subsequent use is relatively low, mainly for basic lighting and control equipment, which does not consume a large amount of electricity like some complex power supply equipment, thereby reducing operating costs.
