Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a processing device for glass tubes, in particular to a glass tube sorting mechanism. Background Art
[0002] The glass tubes are conveyed by a conveyor belt provided on a workbench. During the conveying process, the glass tubes are detected by a detection unit. After detection, the glass tubes are classified into first-class products and second-class products. The classification method of the prior art is to code and mark the first-class products and the second-class products, and uniformly send them into a storage box. Finally, workers manually sort them according to the codes and marks on the glass tubes to separate the first-class and second-class products. The first-class products are sent to the next process for packaging, and the second-class products are scrapped and sent back to the furnace. The method of manual classification has low efficiency. After separation, the first-class products still need to be manually sent into the packaging production line, and it is inevitable that mistakes will occur during manual classification. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the existing technical problems, the utility model provides a glass tube sorting mechanism, which can accurately separate the first-class products from the second-class products, quickly recycle the second-class products, and orderly send the first-class products into the next production line.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a glass tube sorting mechanism, including a second-class product channel, a first-class product slideway and a frame; the upper surface of the first-class product slideway is a smooth and flat glass tube rolling track. One end of the first-class product slideway is the input end, and the other end is the output end. The first-class product slideway is obliquely fixed at the upper end of the frame, with the input end at the upper part and the output end at the lower part; the second-class product channel is arranged at the extension section of the input end of the first-class product slideway. A cylinder is fixed at the input end of the first-class product slideway, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the second-class product channel. The cylinder controls the opening or closing of the second-class product channel; when the second-class product channel is closed, it forms a flat glass tube rolling track together with the first-class product slideway; when the second-class product channel is opened, it forms an inlet for the second-class products.
[0005] Further, a buffer dropping slideway is arranged below the second-class product channel, and the buffer dropping slideway is fixed on the frame.
[0006] Further, the buffer dropping slideway is a Z-shaped buffer channel, including a first guiding rod and a second guiding rod. The first guiding rod is located below the second-class product channel, fixed on the frame and inclined downward. The second guiding rod is located below the first guiding rod, fixed on the frame on the opposite side of the first guiding rod and inclined downward.
[0007] Further, a second-class product collection rack is arranged at the bottom of the frame, below the second guiding rod.
[0008] Furthermore, in the present utility model, a conveying wheel is docked above the second-class product channel. The conveying wheel is arranged on a fixed frame through a central shaft and bearings, and a plurality of conveying teeth for clamping and placing glass tubes are evenly arranged on the conveying wheel in a circumferential manner.
[0009] Furthermore, in the present utility model, an arc-shaped guiding block is arranged between the conveying wheel and the second-class product channel, and the guiding block is fixed to the upper end of the machine frame.
[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The present utility model is a separation mechanism for first-class products and second-class products after glass tube detection. The telescopic movement of the air cylinder is used to change the channel, and the first-class products and second-class products are accurately separated. When the first-class products enter, the second-class product channel is closed to form a ramp rolling mechanism with the first-class product slideway, so that the glass tubes of the first-class products are arranged in a single row in an orderly manner and are rolled and conveyed to the subsequent packaging production line of glass tubes. When the second-class products enter, the second-class product channel is opened, and the second-class products roll into the second-class product channel, and the second-class products are quickly recycled.

[0015] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.
[0017] An embodiment of the present utility model is as follows Figure 1As shown in the figure, a glass tube sorting mechanism includes a second-class product channel 4, a first-class product slideway 5, and a frame 6. The upper surface of the first-class product slideway 5 is a smooth and flat glass tube rolling track. One end of the first-class product slideway 5 is the input end, and the other end is the output end. The first-class product slideway 5 is inclined and fixed at the upper end of the frame 6, with the input end at the top and the output end at the bottom. The second-class product channel 4 is arranged at the extended section of the input end of the first-class product slideway 5. A cylinder 10 is fixed at the input end of the first-class product slideway 5, and the piston rod 11 of the cylinder 10 is connected to the second-class product channel 4. The cylinder 10 controls the opening or closing of the second-class product channel 4. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, when the second-class product channel 4 is closed, it forms a flat glass tube rolling track together with the first-class product slideway 5. When the second-class product channel 4 is opened, it forms a second-class product inlet.
[0018] The specific working process of the present utility model is as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown. Connect the second-class product channel 4 to the output end of the detection mechanism. When the detection mechanism detects that the glass tube 12 is a first-class product, the cylinder 10 is in the extended state, and the second-class product channel 4 remains closed to form a flat inclined rolling track together with the first-class product slideway 5. The glass tube 12 sent out by the detection mechanism enters the first-class product slideway 5 along the second-class product channel 4 and rolls forward along the first-class product slideway 5. Then it can be docked with the next process. When the detection mechanism detects that the glass tube 12 is a second-class product, the cylinder 10 contracts, and the piston rod 11 drives the second-class product channel 4 to move backward. The second-class product channel 4 opens to form a downward second-class product inlet. After the glass tube 12 is sent out by the detection mechanism, it directly drops into this inlet, and a collection device can be set below this inlet.
[0019] In some other specific embodiments of the present utility model, the rest is the same as the above embodiments, except that, as Figure 2 shown, a buffer dropping slideway is arranged below the second-class product channel 4, and the buffer dropping slideway is fixed on the frame 6. Since the glass tube is a fragile item, adding a buffer dropping slideway can prevent the glass tube from being damaged.
[0020] In some other specific embodiments of the present utility model, the rest is the same as the above embodiments, except that, as Figure 2As shown, the buffer drop slide is a Z-shaped buffer channel, including a first guide rod 9 and a second guide rod 8. The first guide rod 9 is located below the second-category product channel 4. The first guide rod 9 is fixed on the frame 6 and tilted downward. The second guide rod 8 is located below the first guide rod 9. The second guide rod 8 is fixed on the frame 6 on the opposite side of the first guide rod 9 and tilted downward. After the glass tube enters the second-category product entrance, it first falls on the first guide rod 9, then slides down to the second guide rod 8, and then slides down from the second guide rod 8 to the collection device below. After being buffered by the two guide rods, the glass tube can fall smoothly into the collection device below to prevent damage to the glass tube. Of course, according to actual conditions, the number of guide rods can be increased to adapt to the height of the mechanism.
[0021] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest is the same as the above embodiments, except that: Figure 1 As shown, a second-category product collection rack 7 is provided at the bottom of the frame 6 and is located below the second guide rod 8 to facilitate the recycling of the second-category product glass tubes.
[0022] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest is the same as the above embodiments, except that: Figure 1 As shown, a conveying wheel 2 is connected to the top of the second-class product channel 4. The conveying wheel 2 is arranged on the fixed frame 1 through a central axis and a bearing. A plurality of conveying teeth for clamping the glass tube 12 are evenly arranged on the conveying wheel 2 according to the circumference. The conveying teeth can hold the glass tube 12. When the conveying wheel 2 rotates, it can drive the glass tube 12 in the conveying teeth for conveying. When the conveying teeth are downward, the glass tube 12 can slide onto the first-class product slide 5.
