Based on PLC Automatic Control System
China have also appeared suitable for small and medium sorter express courier company. But it's only sorting less than 5kg of shipment, which for a little bulky courier cannot handle. However, companies developed this product also did not enter mass production stage. Current situation of the courier company working in classified areas, found that most of the small and medium sized courier companies have not achieved classified intelligence resulting in high costs, low classification efficiency, accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The main reason for this phenomenon is the capital weak small and medium companies, we cannot afford large-scale sorting systems high time investment. But the courier classification developments must be intelligent. Therefore, it is suitable for small and medium enterprises to improve the characteristics of a high level of intelligence, high efficiency, high precision, low cost classification system.

Research Programs to Be Undertaken and Feasibility Analysis
Design concept of the automatic control of PLC-based classification system, which not only has continuous work long hours, a lot of free delivery, the use of automatic assembly line work and so on. Due to stick with a bar code or two-dimensional code scanning input, express categorization process basically intelligent. Based on design ideas, this work consists of the following components: products from the transport system, two-dimensional code scanning system, computer network microcontroller processing systems, sensor devices and a rack. The main components of the transportation system and the radial transfer means collected within the cells, mainly for the early delivery of express transport and the latter will transfer to the designated collection bag. Dimensional code scanning system is a major component of the two-dimensional code scanner, for the two-dimensional code identifying the address information and transmits the information to the computer. Computer network microcontroller processing system for receiving, processing and transmission of the classification signal transmission control instructions to automate the classification results. Scanning system will address information is transmitted to the microcontroller. MCU sends commands to control turntable rotation radial transfer means collected within the cells control the collection bag when the courier transferred corresponding to the appropriate angle.
The key technology is the process of operation, based on the input and output decency control PLC automatic control system programming and control accuracy as well as infrared scanning identification.
Simulation procedure is as follows: The workers will express a two-dimensional code face up on the first conveyor belt, when the courier run to the second conveyor at the infrared sensor, the signal is transmitted to a computer console, MCU sends control command control first conveyor stops 3S. In this case the courier is still on the second conveyor run, two-dimensional code and two-dimensional code scanner to scan information on the courier and the information is transmitted to the computer console. When the items are transported to the turntable collection grid, single-chip issue control instructions to the computer console before transmission based on a two-dimensional code address information, and precompiled SCM process, control the angle sensor to collect cells to be detected on the corresponding angle. If the turntable is rotated to the appropriate angle to collect cells such as 90 degrees, the computer console, this information is collected MCU issue control instructions to control the inner diameter corresponding to the transfer apparatus to collect cells will express came along and fall into the corresponding radial turntable collection bags, items at this time classification process is completed.
The production process: First stage is according to the investigation team found that express company now as the low degree of intelligence, low efficiency, high accuracy cannot be guaranteed, artificial cost of these shortcomings. Accordingly we propose using the single chip microcomputer technology, Angle sensors, QR code scanner, infrared sensor technology, and computer network auxiliary processing information collection, each component of a feedback control instruction to complete intelligent classification.
Team in the second stage after a series of discussions on argument to start 3d model of the product, and on this basis to modify the structure of the product, such as design team before spiral collection system and the automatic warehouse system because of the need to apply to the stack to implement more difficult, so later became now rotating disc collecting system in combination with Angle sensor technology and realize express simple and effective classification.
Third stage team began to design parts according to the established 3d model of the machining drawing and purchase the required materials products and commissioning and correction.
Work instructions: Workers will have a parcel with QR code on the side as the first of the conveyor belt, when delivery to the second transmission with an infrared sensor, the signal is transmitted to the computer console, SCM control command control the first conveyor belt to stop 3s. At this point, the Courier is still in the second run on the conveyor belt, and QR code scanner scans the information on the delivery and will transfer the information to the computer console. When goods are transported to the turntable from SCM according to the information transmitted to a computer console QR code address before and compiled microcomputer program control instruction, beforehand control from the Angle of the sensors need to detect the corresponding point of view. When the wheel from rotation to the corresponding Angle such as 90 degrees, computer console to collect information about the single chip microcomputer control instruction control radial transmission device inside the corresponding collection. When express came along the rotary radial and fall into the corresponding collection bags, goods classification process is complete at this time.
