Title:
SIDE-BY-SIDE PARCEL SEPARATION DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/103487
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A side-by-side parcel separation method, comprising the following steps: dispersion: dispersing, by means of an angle difference existing in a conveying direction, parcels arriving at a dispersion device from a conveying line, wherein a gap is reserved between adjacent parcels; detection and recognition: photographing and recognizing detected parcels by means of a visual recognition device so as to obtain the three-dimensional size and the real-time position data of each parcel; separation: applying different conveying speeds to the recognized adjacent parcels by means of a separation device, arriving, by a first parcel that is recognized to be at a front position, at a side-approaching device at a fast speed, and repeating the foregoing steps; and single-row queuing: forwardly conveying, in a single-row queuing mode, different parcels that arrive at the side-approaching device in sequence. Further comprised is a separation device for implementing the side-by-side parcel separation method. By first dispersing to form the gap, then photographing and recognizing a position relationship between adjacent parcels by means of an image recognition algorithm so as to purposely separate the parcels at a foremost position one by one, and achieving the high-speed separation and single-queue conveying of batch parcels, the separation method achieves the maximum rate of a subsequent single code scanning operation, reduces an omission rate, and improves the efficiency of an overall sorting operation.
