Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an inclined sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, LED packaging companies need to use automated sorting lines to replace manual operations. However, some special sorting lines, such as those with small spaces but many sorting ports, or those with electrostatic packaging bags of different specifications and huge differences in filling weights, cannot be designed as loop lines due to the small production areas and the large number of sorting ports required. At the same time, sorting requires material discharge on both sides.

[0003] There are four mainstream sorting machine designs on the market:

[0004] 1. Slider type sorting machine: The slider type sorting machine consists of a chain plate conveyor and a push block with a unique shape that slides left and right between the chains to sort the goods. However, this design is generally used for single-sided sorting, and a certain length is required to spread the cost.

[0005] 2. Cross-belt sorting machine: It is connected by the main driving belt conveyor and the trolley (referred to as "trolley") carrying a small belt conveyor. When the "trolley" moves to the specified sorting position, it rotates the belt to complete the task of sorting and sending out the goods. Because the main driving belt conveyor and the belt conveyor on the "trolley" are in a cross shape, it is called a cross-belt sorting machine. Due to the double-layer structure, the upper "trolley" determines that the cross-belt design cost is the highest.

[0006] 3. Baffle type sorter: Use a baffle (bar) to block the goods moving forward on the conveyor and guide the goods to the slide on one side for discharge. It has a simple structure and low cost, but can only deliver goods on one side.

[0007] 4. Inclined guide wheel type: When the rotating inclined guide wheel floats up and down in the gap between the parallel main narrow belts, the purpose of sorting goods is achieved. However, a certain contact area is required for the sorted products. It is not applicable if there is a risk of the customer's products falling through the gap.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an inclined sorting machine that can adapt to narrow spaces and can discharge materials on both sides. Summary of the invention

[0040] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, the present invention is an inclined sorting machine, comprising:

[0042] Rack 1, placed on the ground;

[0043] A chain 2, arranged on the frame 1 and connected to the frame 1;

[0044] A centering channel 3 is arranged in the middle of the rack 1;

[0045] The turning group 4 is connected to the chain 2 and the centering channel 3;

[0046] The track changing group 5 is arranged on the frame 1 and connected with the chain 2 .

[0047] There are multiple flipping groups 4 and track changing groups 5; a bell mouth 6 is provided at one end of the center channel 3 for adjusting the opening size to adapt to the size of the product.

[0048] The working principle of the above scheme is: the motor drives the sprocket wheel, thereby driving the chain 2 to rotate in a ring, and since the turnover group 4 is locked on the chain 2, all the turnover groups 4 perform vertical circular conveying.

[0049] Furthermore, the flip group 4 includes a bearing plate 41, an ear plate, a carrier plate 44, a driving wheel 45, a swinging synchronous wheel 46, a swinging shaft 47 and a transition wheel 48. The ear plate includes a first ear plate 42 and a second ear plate 43. The lower ends of the first ear plate 42 and the second ear plate 43 are connected to the carrier plate 44. The bearing plate 41 is connected to the driving wheel 45 through the first ear plate 42, and the tilting action of the bearing plate 41 is achieved by the rotation of the driving wheel 45; the second ear plate 43 is arranged on the rear side of the first ear plate 42, the upper end of the first ear plate 42 is connected to the bearing plate 41, the upper end of the second ear plate 43 is connected to the bearing plate 41, and the first ear plate 42 and the second ear plate 43 are connected through a rotating shaft; the carrier plate 44 is connected to the chain 2, the swinging synchronous wheel 46 is connected to the centering channel 3, the driving wheel 45 is connected to the swinging synchronous wheel 46 through a synchronous belt 49, and moves synchronously, the transition wheel 48 is connected to the synchronous belt 49, and the swinging shaft 47 is connected and fixed to the swinging synchronous wheel 46.

[0050] The two sides of the receiving tray 41 are slightly folded into a V shape to ensure that when the receiving tray 41 is in a horizontal state, the products on the receiving tray 41 slide inwards.

[0051] Since the parts are in a vertical position, two transition wheels 48 are installed. The two transition wheels 48 are parallel to each other, and the synchronous belt 49 is in a vertical structure. The transition wheels 48 and the carrier plate 44 are perpendicular to each other.

[0052] The working principle of the above scheme is as follows: the turning group 4 moves along the long side direction of the retaining plate 41. When the turning group 4 is in normal motion, the bearing on the swing shaft 47 is restricted in the centering channel 3. Since the centering channel 3 is installed in the center of the frame 1, the swing shaft 47 is non-deflected in the normal motion state, that is, the retaining plate 41 moves in a horizontal state. When the swing shaft 47 swings left and right, the swing synchronous wheel 46 rotates, driving the transition wheel 48 to rotate, thereby driving the driving wheel 45 to rotate, and the driving wheel 45 rotates to tilt the retaining plate 41, thereby realizing material discharge from both sides.

[0053] Furthermore, the track changing group 5 includes a base 51, a flip rail 52, a sliding shaft 53, a bearing, a linear bearing 55, a cylinder, a cylinder sliding gasket 58 and a flip cylinder seat 59. The flip rail 52 is installed on the base 51. One end of the flip rail 52 is connected and fixed to the sliding shaft 53, and the other end is connected and fixed to the base 51 through the central shaft 9. The end of the sliding shaft 53 away from the flip rail 52 is connected to the bearing, and the bearing is connected to the cylinder sliding gasket 58. The bearing is restricted in the groove of the cylinder sliding gasket 58. The cylinder sliding gasket 58 moves due to the movement of the flip cylinder seat 59; the cylinder is connected to the cylinder sliding gasket 58, and the cylinder is connected to the flip cylinder seat 59. The cylinder is set on the linear bearing 55. The central shaft 9 is connected and fixed to the flip rail 52 through the pressure ring 10.

[0054] Specifically, the cylinder includes a first cylinder 56 and a second cylinder 57 , which are connected via a cylinder connecting rod 54 , both ends of the first cylinder 56 are respectively connected to the inside of the base 51 , and both ends of the second cylinder 57 are respectively connected to the inside of the base 51 .

[0055] The first cylinder 56 is connected to the base 51 via the first flip guide shaft 7, and the second cylinder 57 is connected to the base 51 via the second flip guide shaft 12. A first stop ring 8 is provided above the first flip guide shaft 7, and the first flip guide shaft 7 is connected to the first stop ring 8. A second stop ring 13 is provided above the second flip guide shaft 12, and the second flip guide shaft 12 is connected to the second stop ring 13.

[0056] When the track changing group 5 is working, the turning cylinder seat 59 will produce three state changes under the action of the first cylinder 56 and the second cylinder 57:

[0057] 1. The first cylinder 56 shrinks, the second cylinder 57 shrinks, and the sliding shaft 53 drives the turning rail 52 to rotate leftward;

[0058] 2. The first cylinder 56 extends, the second cylinder 57 contracts, and the turning rail 52 does not rotate;

[0059] 3. The first cylinder 56 extends, the second cylinder 57 contracts, and the sliding shaft 53 drives the turning rail 52 to rotate rightward.

[0060] Working principle of the present invention:

[0061] When the flipping group 4 moves into the track changing group 5, due to the swinging of the channel of the track changing group 5, the flipping rail 52 turns left, stays still, or turns right to produce three paths of left, middle, and right. The swing shaft 47 in the flipping group 4 swings and enters the three paths of left, middle, and right, so that the receiving plate 41 produces three modes of left tilt, horizontal tilt, and right tilt, so that the receiving plate 41 can discharge materials from both sides, and after discharging materials, it returns to the centering channel 3 through the bell mouth 6 to continue moving.

[0062] Advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0063] The present invention provides an inclined sorting machine, which can realize multi-sorting port discharging in a narrow space through the independently developed turning group and track changing group mechanical structure, thereby greatly reducing the machinery cost. At the same time, in LED packaging factories, which have a narrow space layout and whose product packaging does not have a solid shape and is small in size, it can help them accelerate the automation, intelligence and modernization of the industry upgrade and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.

[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
