The spiral chute in the parcel sorting machine is a key component for realizing the turning and diversion of parcels from high to low levels or between different conveyor lines. Its design and performance directly affect sorting efficiency and parcel safety. The main characteristics are as follows:
1、 Structural design features
1. Spiral diversion structure
Adopting a continuous spiral descent surface design, the package is guided to naturally slide down along the inner wall of the chute through a fixed spiral angle (usually 30 ° -60 °) and curvature radius, achieving vertical or inclined conveying conversion. The inner wall of the chute is smooth and the transition is rounded, avoiding scratches or jamming caused by edges and corners on the package.
2. Modularization and Customization
The spiral diameter, number of turns, and exit direction can be customized according to the layer height difference, spatial layout, and package size (such as size and weight) of the sorting machine. It supports modular assembly and is easy to adapt to the spatial limitations of different sorting scenarios (such as express hubs and e-commerce warehouses).
3. Material adaptability
We often use wear-resistant and low friction coefficient materials (such as high molecular weight polyethylene UHMWPE and modified polypropylene PP) to ensure smooth sliding of the package and reduce wear after long-term use; Some scenes will add lubricating coatings on the surface to further reduce frictional resistance.
2、 Functional performance characteristics
1. Efficient diversion and steering
The spiral chute can complete the vertical drop conveying of packages in a limited space (such as lowering from the height of 3-5 shelves to the ground), while achieving 90 °, 180 ° and other directional turns, without the need for additional power devices, relying solely on gravity to complete the diversion and reduce equipment energy consumption.
2. Buffer protection package
By optimizing the spiral angle and surface curvature, the package sliding speed (usually 3-5 m/s) can be controlled to avoid collision and damage to the package due to excessive speed (especially suitable for fragile packaging such as cardboard boxes and plastic bags). Some sliding grooves will be designed with deceleration sections or buffering protrusions to further reduce impact.
3. Adapt to multiple types of packages
It can handle packages of different sizes (such as envelopes or 30kg cardboard boxes) and shapes (regular or slightly irregular). As long as the package size is within the range of the chute channel, it can slide steadily and has strong compatibility.
3、 Operation and maintenance characteristics
1. No power drive, energy-saving and stable
Fully relying on the gravity of the package itself and the guidance of the chute to achieve transportation, without the need for power components such as motors and conveyor belts, reducing failure points, energy consumption, and maintenance costs.
2. Sturdy structure and long lifespan
The material is wear-resistant and impact resistant, and the spiral structure has strong overall load-bearing capacity. It is not easily deformed after long-term use (usually 5-10 years), making it suitable for sorting scenarios with high throughput (tens of thousands of pieces per day).
3. Easy to clean and maintain
The surface of the chute is smooth and not prone to dust accumulation or debris jamming, making daily cleaning simple; Modular design allows for separate replacement of components in case of local damage, making maintenance convenient.
