[0043] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] This embodiment provides a material discharging system, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a conveying mechanism 3, a counting sensor 4 and a material dividing device 2.

[0046] Among them, the conveying mechanism 3 is arranged on the base frame and has a horizontally movable conveying surface; the counting sensor 4 is used to detect the number of products on the conveying surface; the dividing device 2 is arranged on the base frame, and the dividing device includes at least two lower material bins, at least one dividing component and a sliding part; the lower material bin is arranged below the lower material end of the conveying surface and has a top opening, and the dividing component can be movably arranged on the top of the adjacent wall of the adjacent lower material bin; one end of the sliding part is connected to the lower material end, and the other end extends downwardly inclined.

[0047] In the unloading system of this structure, the material dividing device is at the tail of the conveying surface. After the products on the conveying surface are counted by the counting sensor, they fall into the sliding material component through the tail of the conveying surface. When the material dividing component moves, it can enclose a material guide area with one end connected to the bottom of the sliding material component and the other end connected to the top opening of any unloading bin. The products slide into the material guide area through the sliding material component and then enter the unloading bin through the material guide area. The material dividing component moves to separate the products into different unloading bins. Different packaging containers of different sizes connected to the bottom of the unloading bin are arranged under different unloading bins. The products slide into the packaging containers through the unloading bins to package different quantities of products. Through the cooperation of a conveying mechanism and a material dividing device, the products can be conveyed and separated into different packaging areas for packaging, with low cost and high degree of automation.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, two conveying channels are arranged on the conveying surface, and a material blocking and releasing device 1 is arranged above the conveying surface, and the material blocking and releasing device comprises a support frame, at least two telescopic components and a material blocking component. The two telescopic components are arranged on the support frame at intervals along the sliding direction of the conveying surface and are located directly above the conveying channels, and the two telescopic components perform telescopic movement in the vertical direction to block or release the products placed on the conveying channels.

[0049] Specifically, each telescopic assembly includes a telescopic drive and a material-blocking component fixed on a telescopic shaft of the telescopic drive. For example, the telescopic drive is a slide cylinder.

[0050] The support frame is suitable for being arranged across the conveying surface, and the telescopic drive is vertically arranged on the support frame; Figure 3 As shown, the material blocking component includes a material blocking plate a21 and a connecting plate a22; the connecting plate a22 is arranged on the output end of any telescopic drive; the material blocking plate a21 is arranged on the connecting plate a22 and extends downward; the telescopic drive drives the material blocking plate a21 to move downward to block the product, and the telescopic drive drives the material blocking plate a21 to retract upward to release the product. The material blocking and releasing device has a simple structure and low production cost; a material blocking component is arranged on the output end of the telescopic drive, and the material blocking plate a21 extends downward to block the product. When the material blocking component is damaged, the material blocking component can be directly replaced, avoiding the direct use of the output end of the telescopic drive for blocking the material, which is easy to cause damage to the output end, and the overall replacement of the telescopic drive is costly.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the support frame is in an inverted U shape, which includes a side plate a12 and a top plate a11; the material blocking and releasing device also includes a connecting frame a4, which is fixed on the top plate a11 of the support frame; the telescopic drive is a slide cylinder, which includes a cylinder body a31 and a slide a32, the cylinder body a31 is fixed on the connecting frame a4, the top end of the slide a32 is fixed on the guide rod of the slide cylinder, and the connecting plate a22 is fixed on the end face of the slide a32 away from the top plate a11.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, each connecting plate a22 is provided with two baffle plates a21, which are arranged parallel to each other and extend vertically downward, and the lower end surface of the baffle plate a21 is inverted cone shape. The slide cylinder drives the slide a32 to slide downward, driving the connecting plate a22 and the baffle plate a21 to move downward. Since the assembled products are often arranged continuously on the conveying channel, for example, the product is a switch, and the two sides and the middle part of one end of the switch have protrusions, forming two gaps between two adjacent switches, and the gaps are small. The lower end surface of the baffle plate a21 is inverted cone shape, which is convenient for extending into the gap to block the switch; the two baffle plates a21 extend into the two gaps respectively, and blocking a switch at two points makes the blocking more stable, preventing the switch from being offset when blocked at one point. A pressure plate is provided on the conveying mechanism, and the pressure plate extends parallel to the top of the product to prevent the product from bouncing upward at the moment of blocking.

[0053] Optimally, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two rows of slide cylinders are symmetrically arranged on the top plate a11, with three slide cylinders in each row. The three slide cylinders in each row are arranged horizontally at intervals, and the horizontal spacing between two adjacent slides a32 is adjustable. Each slide cylinder is provided with a magnetic switch electrically connected to the PLC control.

[0054] When working, the material blocking and releasing device is fixed above the product conveying mechanism through the side plates a12 on both sides. Figure 2 Take the row of slide cylinders on the right side of the middle as an example. The three slide cylinders are the first cylinder a5, the second cylinder a6 and the third cylinder a7 from the inside to the outside. For example, when the product conveyed on the conveying surface is a small product, the small product is arranged on the conveying surface along its length direction, and the length of the small product is short. At this time, only the first cylinder a5 and the second cylinder a6 work. The spacing of the baffle plates a21 on the first cylinder a5 and the second cylinder a6 is adapted to the length of the small product. The conveying mechanism is provided with a first optical fiber sensor and a second optical fiber sensor electrically connected to the PLC control. The first optical fiber sensor is located below the first cylinder a5, and the second optical fiber sensor is located below the second cylinder a6.

[0055] Qualified products are unloaded from the conveying mechanism and transported to the material blocking and releasing device. For example, when product No. 1 is transported to the bottom of the first cylinder a5, the first optical fiber sensor senses the product and transmits a signal to the PLC control. The PLC controls the first cylinder a5 to extend downward to block product No. 1, and the second cylinder a6 is in a retracted state at this time; when product No. 2 runs to the bottom of the second cylinder a6, the second cylinder a6 extends downward to block product No. 2, and the first cylinder a5 retracts upward to release product No. 1; the second cylinder a6 retracts to release product No. 2, and product No. 2 runs to the bottom of the first cylinder a5, and the first cylinder a5 extends to block product No. 2; then the first cylinder a5 retracts to release product No. 2, and product No. 3 runs to the second cylinder a6, and the second cylinder a6 extends to block product No. 3. The first cylinder a5 and the second cylinder a6 extend and retract alternately, and the two cooperate to block and release small products, so that small products are transported out of the material blocking and releasing device at intervals.

[0056] When the product conveyed on the conveying surface is a large product, the large product is arranged on the conveying surface along its length direction, and the length of the large product is long. At this time, the first cylinder a5 and the third cylinder a7 work. The spacing of the blocking plates a21 on the first cylinder a5 and the third cylinder a7 is the same as the length of the large product. The conveying mechanism is provided with a third optical fiber sensor electrically connected to the PLC control. The third optical fiber sensor is located below the third cylinder a7. The first cylinder a5 and the third cylinder a7 extend and retract alternately, and the two cooperate to block and release the large product. Through the cooperation of the first cylinder a5 and the second cylinder a6 or the third cylinder a7, large products and small products can be conveyed and blocked on the same conveying mechanism, and the product adaptability is strong.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, there are two conveying channels on the conveying surface, which are located under two rows of slide cylinders. Under each slide cylinder, there is a corresponding optical fiber sensor for sensing the product. Figure 2 There is product on the conveyor under the left row of slide cylinders. At this time, only the left row of slide cylinders will work; or only Figure 2 When there are products on the conveying channel under the middle right row of slide cylinders, only the right row of slide cylinders will work; when there are products on the conveying channels under both rows of cylinders, both rows of slide cylinders will work at the same time to better cooperate with the conveying surface below to block and improve work efficiency.

[0058] The counting sensor is arranged on the conveying mechanism and near the unloading end of the conveying surface. The products are blocked and released by the blocking and releasing device and are transported to the unloading end one by one. After being counted by the counting sensor, they enter the material dividing device. Mounting plates b61 are arranged on both sides of the material dividing device, and the material dividing device is fixed on the unloading end of the conveying mechanism through the mounting plates b61. For example, the counting sensor is an optical fiber counting sensor or an infrared counting sensor.

[0059] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the material dividing device also includes a mounting frame, which is arranged above the material lowering bin b11, and has a mounting cavity connected to the material lowering bin b11, and the material dividing component is located in the mounting cavity. The material dividing component is located inside the mounting frame, and the material dividing component will not accidentally injure the operator when it is in motion, and has high safety; and through the action of the material dividing component, the products can be separated into different packaging areas for packaging in the same material dividing device, and the material dividing device occupies a small space, so that the entire material lowering system occupies a small space.

[0060] Each group of material components includes a material distribution component, a fixing component, a limiting component and a driving component. The lower material bin b11 has three, two fixing components are respectively fixed on the top of the two side walls of the middle lower material bin b11; and two material distribution components are respectively rotatably fixed on the top of the two fixing components through hinges.

[0061] The mounting frame includes a first baffle b41, a second baffle b42, a third baffle b43 and a fourth baffle b44. The first baffle b41 and the second baffle b42 are respectively arranged at the front end of the lower bin b11 ( Figure 6 The leftmost unloading bin b11) and the last unloading bin b11 ( Figure 6 The outer wall of the rightmost lower material bin b11 along the second direction (the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism is the first direction, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction in the same plane is the second direction) and extends vertically upward; the third baffle b43 and the fourth baffle b44 are respectively arranged on the outer wall of all lower material bins b11 along the direction perpendicular to the first baffle b41 and extend vertically upward, and the first baffle b41, the second baffle b42, the third baffle b43 and the fourth baffle b44 form an installation cavity for the installation of the material distribution component and the fixing component. The material distribution component is arranged in the installation cavity to prevent the operator from being accidentally injured when the material distribution component rotates to distribute the material.

[0062] For ease of description, Figure 6 The fixed part on the left is called the first fixed part b221, and the fixed part on the right is called the second fixed part b222. Correspondingly, the material-dividing part on the left is called the first material-dividing part b211, and the material-dividing part on the right is called the second material-dividing part b212. The second fixed part b222 is higher than the first fixed part b221, and the first material-dividing part b211 and the second material-dividing part b212 have the same length in the vertical direction, so that the top of the second material-dividing part b212 is higher than the top of the first material-dividing part, and the two material-dividing parts are staggered in height to increase the rotation angle of the left and right rotation.

[0063] The top of the sliding material component b31 is fixed on the inner side wall of the first baffle b41, and the other end of the sliding material component b31 extends downward and abuts against the top of the second material distribution component b212. The two side walls of the sliding material component b31 abut against the third baffle b43 and the fourth baffle b44 respectively; the two side walls of the material distribution component are rotatably abutted against the third baffle b43 and the fourth baffle b44 respectively.

[0064] The two side walls of the sliding component b31 and the two side walls of the material dividing component are respectively in contact with the third baffle b43 and the fourth baffle b44, which can prevent the products from sliding through the gaps on both sides due to excessive gaps on both sides and failing to accurately enter the corresponding underground silo b11 along the material guiding area.

[0065] like Figure 5 As shown, each set of driving components includes a rotary cylinder b241 and a connecting handle b242. A connecting plate is sleeved on the outer wall surface of the rear end of the lower bin b11, and two rotary cylinders b241 are fixed on the connecting plate at intervals, and the connecting handle b242 is fixed on the output shaft of the rotary cylinder b241; the third baffle b43 is provided with two arc-shaped through holes b431 extending along the rotation paths of the output shafts of the two rotary cylinders b241, one end of the connecting shaft is fixed on the connecting handle b242, and the other end extends from the arc-shaped through hole b431 into the installation cavity to connect with the material distribution component. The rotation of the rotary cylinder b241 drives the material distribution component to rotate left and right.

[0066] like Figure 7 As shown, each group of material components also includes a limiting component for limiting the rotation angle of the rotary cylinder b241, for example, the limiting component is an oil pressure buffer b23. The oil pressure buffer b23 is arranged on the rotation path of the connecting handle b242. Figure 7 A hydraulic buffer b23 is provided on the left rotating cylinder b241 to limit the leftward rotation angle of the first material dividing component b211. Two hydraulic buffers b23 are provided on the right rotating cylinder b241, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the second material dividing component b212 to limit the left and right rotation angles of the second material dividing component b212.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer cover of the mounting frame is provided with a cover plate b51, and one end of the cover plate b51 is provided with an open opening suitable for contacting with the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism, and the product slides from the conveying surface to the sliding material component b31. The cover plate b51 sets the driving component cover inside it to prevent people from accidentally touching the driving component and injuring people. The cover plate can prevent dust, impurities, etc. from falling into the inside of the dispensing device from above, which is conducive to dispensing and keeping the inside of the dispensing device clean, with good integrity and high safety.

[0068] When working, for example, Figure 7The leftmost lower material bin b11 corresponds to the packaging boxes of 10 products, the middle lower material bin b11 corresponds to the packaging boxes of 100 products, and the right lower material bin b11 corresponds to uncounted packaging. When uncounted packaging is required, the second material dividing component b212 does not rotate and is in a vertical state. The product falls from the lower material end into the sliding component, and then slides along the sliding component b31 into the lower material bin b11 on the right for uncounted packaging.

[0069] When 100 products need to be packaged, the rotating cylinder b241 drives the second material dividing component b212 to rotate right, and its top abuts against the inner wall of the second baffle b42. Another rotating cylinder b241 drives the first material dividing component b211 to rotate left until the connecting handle b242 touches the oil pressure buffer b23 on its left side and stops rotating. The first material dividing component b211 and the second material dividing component b212 form a trumpet mouth with a larger top and a smaller bottom. The product slides from the sliding component b31 to the second material dividing component b212, and then slides from the material guiding area formed by the second material dividing component b212 and the first material dividing component b211 to the middle lower material bin b11 and enters the packaging box of 100 products.

[0070] When 10 products need to be packaged, the first material dividing component b211 and the second material dividing component b212 both rotate to the right, the second material dividing component b212 abuts against the inner wall of the second baffle b42, the top of the first material dividing component b211 abuts against the bottom of the second material dividing component b212, and the product slides onto the second material dividing component b212 through the sliding component b31, and then slides from the material guiding area surrounded by the first material dividing component b211, the second material dividing component b212 and the first baffle b41 to the left lower material bin b11 and enters the packaging box of 10 products.

[0071] During operation, for example, the number of products entering the first feeding bin of the material dividing device is measured by the counting sensor. When the number of products in the corresponding packaging box under the first feeding bin is reached, the packaging box under the first feeding bin is replaced; the material dividing component is used to switch the material guiding area to the second feeding bin, and then the counting and packaging of the second feeding bin is carried out. When the number of packaging boxes corresponding to the second feeding bin is reached, the packaging box is replaced, and the material dividing component is used to switch the material guiding area to the third feeding bin. The operation is cyclical. When the number of products in the corresponding packaging box under any feeding bin is reached and the packaging box is replaced, the conveying mechanism does not need to stop unloading, and the product can be conveyed to another feeding bin by switching the feeding bin of the material dividing device, with high production efficiency and automation.

[0072] As a first replaceable implementation scheme of Example 1, the material dividing component can also be movably arranged on the fixed component, and the material dividing component can be arranged on the fixed component so that it can rotate left and right and can be extended up and down through the driving device; at this time, the second material dividing component b212 may not abut against the bottom of the sliding component b31 in the initial state, and there is a gap between the two. When the product needs to enter the right lower material bin b11, the driving device drives the second material dividing component b212 to rise and abut against the sliding component b31 to prevent the product from sliding into other lower material bins b11 from the gap between the two; when the product needs to enter the left lower material bin b11, the vertical length of the first material dividing component b211 in the initial state can be smaller than that of the second material dividing component b212. When the first material dividing component b211 and the second material dividing component b212 both rotate to the right, the driving device simultaneously drives the first material dividing component b211 to extend upward so that it abuts against the bottom of the second material dividing component b212 to prevent the product from entering the middle lower material bin b11 from the gap between the first material dividing component b211 and the second material dividing component b212.

[0073] As a second alternative implementation of Example 1, the number of lower material bins b11 can also be two, four, five, six, etc., as long as fixing components and material dividing components are provided on the top of the adjacent walls of every two adjacent lower material bins b11, and a corresponding number of rotating cylinders b241 are provided to drive each material dividing component to rotate to form different material guiding areas, thereby guiding the products into different lower material bins b11.

[0074] As a third alternative implementation of Example 1, the fixing component may not be provided, and the material dividing component may be directly rotatably provided on the top of the adjacent wall of the lower material bin b11.
