Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ceramic tile packaging machinery, in particular to a vertical ceramic tile sorting machine and a ceramic tile lifting device thereof. Background Art

[0002] The selling price of high-quality tiles is different from that of ordinary tiles. Tile sorting equipment is required before the packaging line to sort tiles of different grades to facilitate centralized packaging in batches.

[0003] However, the existing sorting equipment occupies a large area, has a complex structure, and has a high manufacturing cost. It cannot work with the existing unloading machine and cannot meet the needs of caching tiles before the packaging line. For this reason, people have invented a vertical tile sorting machine, which lifts the tiles from the assembly line upward, effectively utilizing the vertical space and greatly reducing the floor space; however, when the automatic unloading and loading equipment takes out the tiles from the lifting device, it needs to wait until the tiles are lifted to the highest point and there are no obstacles above the tiles before taking out the tiles, which results in slow production efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tile lifting device for a vertical tile sorting machine, which can increase the speed at which upper and lower tile equipment take away tiles, thereby solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0006] A tile lifting device for a vertical tile sorting machine, comprising:

[0007] A mounting frame, on which a lifting mechanism is provided;

[0008] A plurality of brick supporting assemblies, which are respectively connected to the lifting mechanism and rise or fall with the lifting mechanism;

[0009] The brick supporting assembly comprises a rotatable brick supporting block;

[0010] When the brick supporting block passes through the first area from bottom to top, the brick supporting block rotates to a horizontal state to support the tiles and lift them upward;

[0011] When the brick supporting block leaves the first area and does not support the tiles, the brick supporting block rotates to a tilted state.

[0012] The tile lifting device of the present invention has a tile support assembly driven to rise or fall by a lifting mechanism, and includes a rotatable tile support block, and when the tile support block passes through the first area from bottom to top, the tile support block rotates to a horizontal state to support the tile and lift it upward; and when the tile support block leaves the first area and does not support the tile, the tile support block rotates to an inclined state. Then, when the upper and lower tile devices take away the tile supported by the upper tile support block, the upper tile support block automatically rotates to an inclined state, so that when the upper and lower tile devices continue to take away the tile supported by the lower tile support block, the tile will not touch the upper tile support block during the process of rising; therefore, the upper and lower rotating devices can extend into the tile sorting machine to take away the tiles in sequence, and it is not necessary to wait until the tiles are lifted to the highest point and there are no obstacles above the tiles before taking away the tiles.

[0013] As one specific implementation manner, the brick supporting assembly further includes a connecting seat fixedly connected to the lifting mechanism, and a rotating shaft is connected between the connecting seat and the brick supporting block.

[0014] Furthermore, an elastic member is sleeved on the rotating shaft, one end of the elastic member is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the elastic member is fixedly connected to the connecting seat;

[0015] When the brick supporting block rotates to a horizontal state, the elastic member is in a stretched or compressed state;

[0016] When the brick supporting block leaves the first area and does not support the tiles, the elastic member drives the brick supporting block to rotate to a tilted state.

[0017] Furthermore, a positioning block is provided on the connecting seat;

[0018] When the brick supporting block is in a horizontal state, the lower end surface of the brick supporting block abuts against the upper end surface of the positioning block.

[0019] Furthermore, a slope is provided on the side of the positioning block;

[0020] When the brick supporting block rotates to an inclined state, the lower end surface of the brick supporting block abuts against the inclined surface.

[0021] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the middle part of the brick supporting block, and a guide block is provided at one end of the brick supporting block;

[0022] A guide plate is also fixed on the mounting frame;

[0023] When the brick supporting block passes through the first area from bottom to top, the guide block abuts against the side of the guide plate, and the guide block moves horizontally along the side of the guide plate away from the middle of the brick supporting block until the brick supporting block is in a horizontal state.

[0024] As a specific implementation, the guide block is arranged in a wheel shape, and the guide block is rotatably connected to the brick supporting block.

[0025] The present invention also provides a vertical tile sorting machine, which includes the tile lifting device as described above.

[0026] Wherein, the tile sorting machine comprises two of the tile lifting devices;

[0027] The tile sorting machine also includes a frame, on which a width adjustment mechanism is provided;

[0028] The two tile lifting devices are connected to the width adjustment mechanism, and the width adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the two tile lifting devices.

[0029] For better understanding and implementation, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] In order to better illustrate the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] A tile lifting device for a vertical tile sorting machine, comprising:

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, a mounting frame 10 is provided with a lifting mechanism 20 on the mounting frame 10;

[0040] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 20 includes a power unit 21 and a chain lifting unit 22; wherein the chain lifting unit 22 includes a driving wheel 221 and a driven wheel 222 rotatably connected to the mounting frame 10, and a transmission chain 223 wound around the driving wheel 221 and the driven wheel 222, the driving wheel 221 is connected to the output end of the power unit 21, and rotates under the drive of the power unit 21.

[0041] It should be noted that the power unit 21 is a servo motor, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to a transmission mechanism, which includes a transmission shaft 23, and the transmission shaft 23 is respectively connected to the servo motor and the two driving wheels 221.

[0042] A plurality of brick supporting assemblies 30, which are respectively connected to the lifting mechanism 20 and rise or fall with the lifting mechanism 20;

[0043] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the brick supporting assembly 30 includes a connecting seat 31 fixedly connected to the transmission chain 223, and a brick supporting block 32 rotatably connected to the connecting seat 31, and a rotating shaft 33 is connected between the connecting seat 31 and the brick supporting block 32;

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, when the brick supporting block 32 passes through the first area from bottom to top, the brick supporting block 32 rotates to a horizontal state to support the tiles and lift them upward;

[0045] When the brick supporting block 32 leaves the first area and does not support the tiles, the brick supporting block 32 rotates to a tilted state.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the rotating shaft 33 is fixed to the middle part of the brick supporting block 32, one end of the brick supporting block 32 is provided with a guide block 321, and the other end is provided with a rubber block 322 for supporting tiles;

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, a guide plate 40 is also fixed on the mounting frame 10;

[0048] It should be noted that if Figure 4 As shown, the brick support block 32 is in an inclined state as the chain lifting unit 22 moves upward from the bottom; Figure 5 As shown, when the guide block 321 abuts against the side of the guide plate 40, the brick supporting block 32 enters the first area; when the guide block 321 is no longer in contact with the guide plate 40, the brick supporting block 32 leaves the first area.

[0049] Since the guide block 321 is fixed on the brick supporting block 32, the straight-line distance between the guide block 321 and the middle of the brick supporting block 32 is constant; and since the brick supporting block 32 rotates around the rotating shaft 33 connected to the middle thereof, when the brick supporting block 32 rotates to an inclined state, the horizontal distance between the guide block 321 and the middle of the brick supporting block 32 is the smallest; Figure 7 As shown, when the brick supporting block 32 rotates to a horizontal state, the horizontal distance between the guide block 321 and the middle of the brick supporting block 32 is the largest.

[0050] Therefore, when the brick supporting block 32 continues to move from bottom to top after entering the first area, the guide block 321 will move away from the middle of the brick supporting block 32 in the horizontal direction along the side of the guide plate 40 until the brick supporting block is in a horizontal state.

[0051] Furthermore, when the brick supporting block 32 is completely turned to the horizontal state and is about to leave the first area, the brick supporting block 32 can just hold the edge of the tile on the tile transportation line.

[0052] In this embodiment, the width of the lower end of the guide plate is relatively small, which matches the horizontal distance between the guide block 321 and the middle of the brick supporting block 32 when the brick supporting block 32 is in a tilted state, so that the guide block 321 can rest against the side of the guide plate 40; then, when the brick supporting block 32 is gradually lifted from bottom to top, the width of the guide plate 40 from bottom to top also increases at the same time, so that when the guide block 321 slides along the side of the guide plate 40, the horizontal distance between it and the middle of the brick supporting block 32 also gradually increases; when the horizontal distance between the guide block 321 and the middle of the brick supporting block 32 is the largest, the side of the guide plate 321 becomes a vertical surface.

[0053] Preferably, an elastic member is sleeved on the rotating shaft 33, one end of the elastic member is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting seat, so that the rotating shaft will stretch or compress the elastic member when rotating as the brick supporting block rotates.

[0054] When the brick supporting block 32 rotates to a horizontal state, the elastic member is driven to be in a stretched or compressed state;

[0055] When the brick supporting block 32 leaves the first area and does not support the tiles, the elastic member drives the brick supporting block 32 to rotate to a tilted state.

[0056] The tile lifting device of this embodiment provides an elastic member on the rotating shaft connecting the brick supporting block and the connecting seat. After the tile leaves the brick supporting block through the elastic force of the elastic member, the brick supporting block will automatically rotate to an inclined state, thereby improving the automation of the tile lifting device.

[0057] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, a positioning block 311 is provided on the connecting seat 31;

[0058] When the brick supporting block 32 is in a horizontal state, the lower end surface of the brick supporting block 32 abuts against the upper end surface of the positioning block 311 .

[0059] Preferably, a slope is also provided on the side of the positioning block 311;

[0060] When the brick supporting block 32 rotates to a tilted state, the lower end surface of the brick supporting block 32 abuts against the inclined surface of the positioning block 311 .

[0061] The tile lifting device of this embodiment provides a positioning block on the connecting seat so that when the brick supporting block is in a horizontal state or an inclined state, its lower end surface abuts against the upper end surface or the inclined surface of the positioning block, thereby improving the supporting force of the brick supporting block and limiting the position of the brick supporting block.

[0062] The tile lifting device of this embodiment, which is driven to rise or fall by the lifting mechanism, includes a rotatable brick support block, and when the brick support block passes through the first area from bottom to top, the brick support block rotates to a horizontal state to support the tile and lift it upward; and when the brick support block leaves the first area and does not support the tile, the brick support block rotates to an inclined state. Then, when the upper and lower brick devices take away the tile supported by the upper brick support block, the upper brick support block automatically rotates to an inclined state, so that when the upper and lower brick devices continue to take away the tile supported by the lower brick support block, the tile will not touch the upper brick support block during the process of rising; therefore, the upper and lower rotating devices can extend into the tile sorting machine to take away the tiles in sequence, and it is not necessary to wait until the tiles are lifted to the highest point and there are no obstacles above the tiles before taking away the tiles.

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment also provides a vertical tile sorting machine 50, which includes the tile lifting device as described above.

[0064] Wherein, the tile sorting machine comprises two of the tile lifting devices;

[0065] The tile sorting machine also includes a frame, on which a width adjustment mechanism is provided;

[0066] The two tile lifting devices are connected to the width adjustment mechanism, and the width adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the two tile lifting devices.

[0067] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the vertical tile sorting machine can have multiple sets of tile lifting devices at the same time.

[0068] In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and associate different embodiments or examples and features of different embodiments or examples described in this specification without mutual contradiction.
