[0044] The following is a description of the implementation of the present invention by specific embodiments. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a material sorting and conveying device, including a pushing and loading component 1, a honeycomb storage component 2, an expansion sorting component 3 and a transfer component 4.

[0046] The overall operation process is as follows: first, the honeycomb storage component 2 moves horizontally and / or vertically to align part (at least one) of the honeycomb compartments 231 with the push-loading component 1, and the push-loading component 1 pushes the material 5 into the honeycomb compartment 231 in the honeycomb storage component 2. After completion, the honeycomb storage component 2 moves horizontally or horizontally and vertically to align the next (or a group of) honeycomb compartments 231 with the push-loading component 1, and so on, so that a certain number (the number required for the subsequent process) of materials 5 are filled (or not filled) in sequence in the honeycomb compartment 231; then the honeycomb storage component 2 moves downward to the relative position of the transfer component 4, and the transfer component 4 pushes the material 5 out of the honeycomb compartment 231 and pushes it to the expansion sorting component 3. The expansion sorting component 3 is used to connect to subsequent equally spaced conveying devices of different specifications, and after completing the width conversion, it is sent to the subsequent process and further completes the boxing requirements. Based on the above settings, according to the different shapes and structures of the subsequent workstations, the orderly and disorderly transmission of any number of materials 5 can be achieved through adjustment to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to achieve the effect of simultaneously achieving multiple materials 5 during the pushing process, the pushing and loading component 1 can be further configured to include a workbench 11 and at least one propulsion structure 12 arranged on the workbench 11, wherein a placement piece for placing the material 5 is arranged at one end of the propulsion structure 12 close to the honeycomb storage component 2, and the propulsion structure 12 is used to push the placement piece close to or away from the honeycomb storage component 2, and push the material 5 into the honeycomb compartment 231. The number of placement pieces on each of the propulsion structures 12 is multiple, and the multiple placement pieces are correspondingly arranged along the extension direction of the multiple honeycomb compartments 231. Through such an arrangement, multiple materials 5 can be further placed on the same propulsion structure 12, and based on this, the synchronous pushing of multiple materials 5 can be completed. At the same time, since the arrangement of the honeycomb compartments 231 is normally arranged in an evenly spaced regular arrangement, the synchronous loading of multiple materials 5 can be effectively achieved, and the further arrangement of multiple propulsion structures 12 can also better improve the loading efficiency. Of course, the placement piece here can be arranged in any suitable manner, and a stabilizing groove can be further recessed on the placement piece to achieve a certain degree of engagement with the material 5. Of course, the stabilizing groove on the placement piece can be arranged horizontally or vertically, preferably, horizontally, and based on the presence of the workbench 11, the material 5 can be prevented from falling, etc.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the honeycomb storage component 2 is composed of a honeycomb structure 23, a horizontal moving mechanism 211, a vertical moving mechanism 212 and a power supply structure 22; the honeycomb structure 23 is used to store materials 5, and the amount of stored materials 5 is determined by the quantity required by the subsequent process; the horizontal moving mechanism 211 is responsible for guiding the horizontal movement of the honeycomb structure 23 to ensure that the honeycomb structure 23 moves stably during the movement; the power supply structure 22 drives the horizontal moving mechanism 211 to move left and right in the horizontal direction; the vertical moving mechanism 212 is responsible for the vertical movement of the honeycomb structure 23, and the vertical moving mechanism 212 is also driven by the power supply structure 22. Through the above settings, the honeycomb structure 23 is driven by the power device in both horizontal and vertical directions to ensure that the honeycomb structure 23 can move to each honeycomb compartment 231 and align with the position of the push-loading component 1, and the material 5 is connected to the honeycomb structure 23. Of course, the power supply structure 22 here can further include a vertical drive structure and a horizontal drive structure. Here, two drive structures can be selected according to actual conditions, and it is not limited to only one drive structure. Furthermore, the honeycomb can be moved up and down and left and right by, but not limited to, a ball screw, a cylinder, a motor belt, a chain transmission and other structures, that is, the above transmission method is combined with a motor or other drive to achieve the effect of driving its movement.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, the honeycomb structure 23 includes a placement cavity formed by a top plate 232, a bottom plate 233 and a side plate 234, and the placement cavity is divided into a plurality of honeycomb compartments 231 by a partition 235 arranged in the horizontal and / or vertical direction, and each of the plurality of honeycomb compartments 231 stores material 5. The number of honeycomb compartments 231 is determined by the maximum number of material 5 required by the subsequent process. When the maximum demand is required, the honeycomb compartments 231 are filled. When the number is less than the maximum demand, only the number to be filled needs to be filled into the honeycomb compartments 231, and the other honeycomb compartments 231 are left empty, so that any number of requirements of the subsequent process can be met, and there is no need for the complicated operation of replacing other combined molds. Of course, the feeding quantity and feeding position here can be achieved by controlling the specific operation of the aforementioned push feeding assembly 1 according to the actual situation. It should be noted that the honeycomb structure 23 can be extended in length and height to achieve more quantity. The legend is only an exemplary description and is not a limitation of this patent.

[0050] In a further preferred embodiment, in order to enable the partition 235 to better clamp the material 5, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the side of the partition 235 facing the material 5 is formed with a plurality of continuously arranged clamping recesses, a gap is formed between two adjacent partitions 235, and the clamping recesses facing each other in the two partitions 235 cooperate with the gap to form the honeycomb compartment 231. Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the arrangement of the partition 235 when the material 5 is placed horizontally. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of the partition 235 when the material 5 is placed vertically. In actual operation, a suitable method can be selected as needed.

[0051] In a further preferred embodiment, the clamping recess includes a clamping surface formed as a plane, and extension surfaces extending obliquely from two opposite sides of the clamping surface toward the material 5, and the extension surface forms an angle greater than 90° with the plane where the clamping surface is located. Thus, under the premise of ensuring effective clamping at both ends, the capacity of the entire honeycomb compartment 231 is expanded to a certain extent relative to the material 5, which facilitates the placement of the material 5.

[0052] In a further preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the extended sorting assembly 3 includes a sorting unit 31, a distance piece 34 and a movable base 33, and the movable base 33 is slidably arranged on a track 32. Figure 4To expand the overall opening state of the finishing assembly 3, the finishing unit 31 can be moved to a desired position by the movable base 15, and the distance member 14 is used to determine (i.e., limit) the movable distance between adjacent finishing units 31. The movement of the expanded finishing assembly 3 can be realized by, but not limited to, a ball screw, a cylinder, a motor belt, a chain transmission, and other structures.

[0053] Specifically, the sorting unit 31 here is provided with a honeycomb placement groove matching the honeycomb compartment 231 , so that the material 5 in the honeycomb compartment 231 can be directly pushed into the sorting unit 31 .

[0054] Furthermore, the distance piece 34 extends along the direction of the connection line to form a through limiting sliding hole 341, and a fixing nut 342 for fixing the distance piece 34 and the mobile base 33 is provided through the limiting sliding hole 341, and the fixing nut 342 is slidably arranged in the limiting sliding hole 341. Of course, the mobile base 33 here is provided with a mounting hole for screwing the fixing nut 342, and the fixing nut 342 includes a screw rod and a nut, and the diameter of the nut is greater than the width of the limiting sliding hole 341, so that it will not fall out, and the screw rod passes through the limiting sliding hole 341 and can be installed in the mounting hole. Through such a setting, the distance can be locked at the required position by screwing the fixing nut 342. By adjusting the distance between the sorting units 31, the adjustment of the distance can be completed according to different needs, and the needs of different spacings in subsequent processes can be met.

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, in a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pushing structure corresponding to the honeycomb compartments 231 in at least part of the honeycomb storage components 2 is formed on the transfer component 4, and a push plate 41 corresponding to each of the plurality of honeycomb compartments 231 is formed on the push structure, and the push plate 41 can be inserted into the honeycomb compartments 231 by the driving component. That is, the setting of the push plate 41 here can match the shape of the material 5, and the push plate 41 can be provided with a plurality of pushing protrusions corresponding to the material 5 under the premise that a plurality of materials 5 need to be pushed at one time, and the distance between the pushing protrusions can match the distance between the honeycomb compartments 231, so as to improve the effect of pushing a plurality of materials 5 at the same time.

[0056] Although the present invention has been described in detail above by general description and specific embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all belong to the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
