[0052] The purposes, advantages and features of the present application will be illustrated and explained by the following non-limiting description of the preferred embodiments. These embodiments are only typical examples of the application of the technical solutions of the present application, and any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of the present application.

[0053] In the description of the schemes, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Moreover, in the description of the schemes, the operator is taken as the reference, the direction close to the operator is the proximal end, and the direction away from the operator is the distal end.

[0054] The rod separating device disclosed in the present application will be described below in combination with the drawings, which is used for the separation of a plurality of parallel rods, which can be various cylindrical rods or needle-shaped bodies, etc., as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1As shown, it comprises a storage tank 100 and a receiving tank 200, the storage tank 100 comprises an inclined bottom surface 110, two limiting surfaces 120 are vertically arranged above the bottom surface 110, the bottom surface and the two limiting surfaces 120 form a downwardly inclined rod body space 140 with a discharge port 130, the storage tank 100 is movable between a first position and a second position, at the first position, the discharge port 130 is in butt joint with the receiving tank 200, at the first position and the second position, the discharge port 130 is not in butt joint with the receiving tank 200 and is blocked.

[0055] Since the rod body space 140 does not have a shielding surface opposite to the bottom surface 110, the outer end of the rod body in the rod body space 140 can avoid corresponding contact during the splitting process, effectively avoiding the pollution of the outer end surface (the reaction end surface). At the same time, since the bottom surface is inclined, the rod body in the rod body space 140 can maintain an inclined state, thereby ensuring that the rod body will not fall out of the rod body space 140.

[0056] The bottom surface 110 is a surface of a plate, of course, it can also be a surface of other shaped objects, such as the drawings Figure 2 As shown, the inclination angle (the included angle a between the bottom surface 110 and the horizontal plane) of the bottom surface 110 can be designed according to needs, preferably, the inclination angle is preferably between 15°-85°, further preferably between 30-75°, more preferably between 45°-65°, most preferably about 60°. This inclination angle can on the one hand ensure the state of the rod body, and on the other hand, can make the rod body have enough power to ensure the smoothness of the discharge.

[0057] As shown in the drawings Figure 1 , the drawings Figure 3 , the drawings Figure 4As shown, each of the limiting surfaces 120 includes at least one rectangular oblique plane portion 121. The oblique plane portions 121 of the two limiting surfaces 120 form a certain angle, which can be between 30° and 150°, further between 60° and 120°, more preferably between 75° and 105°, and optimally around 90°. The ends (bases) of the two oblique plane portions 121 are parallel and perpendicular to the bottom surface 110. The bases of the two oblique plane portions 121 are at the same height as the point of contact with the bottom surface. The gap between the ends of the two oblique plane portions 121 forms the discharge port 130 of the rod oblique space 140. The gap is equivalent to the diameter of a rod, preferably slightly larger than the diameter of a rod, so that only one rod can pass through. Of course, the oblique plane portion 121 can also be non-planar, for example, a concave or convex curved surface, or a plurality of planes connected at an angle of 175° or greater.

[0058] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the width W1 of the inclined plane portion 121 is preferably smaller than the length of the rod to be separated. Of course, in other embodiments, the width W1 may also be equal to or greater than the length of the rod to be separated.

[0059] Furthermore, in order to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the final discharge, the Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 4 As shown, the ends of the two inclined plane parts 121 are also connected to an extension surface 122 respectively, and the extension surface 122 is the same width as the inclined plane part 121. The two extension surfaces 122 are perpendicular to the moving direction of the storage trough 100, and the connection area 123 between the inclined plane part 121 and the extension surface 122 is rounded. The two extension surfaces 122 are parallel and the gap is slightly smaller than the gap width at the ends of the two inclined plane parts 121, and the ends of the two extension surfaces 122 are flush. At this time, the ends of the two extension surfaces 122 form the discharge port 130.

[0060] Furthermore, as shown in Appendix 3, the material storage trough 100 also includes a blocking surface 150 connected to the upper end of one of the limiting surfaces 120. The blocking surface 150 is perpendicular to the limiting surface 120 and its length is less than the length of the other limiting surface, so that it and the two limiting surfaces form a groove with an open upper end, and the opening facilitates the placement of the rod into the inclined rod space 140.

[0061] At the same time, the bottom surface, the top limit surface and the blocking surface are a structure on a single body, as shown in the attached Figure 3As shown, the block is further provided with two supporting surfaces 160 which are perpendicular to and flush with the bottom surface. The supporting surfaces 160 are respectively located below the two limiting surfaces and are parallel to the moving direction of the storage trough 100 .

[0062] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the storage tank 100 is detachably mounted on a movable seat 300, specifically as shown in the attached Figure 3 As shown, the storage trough 100 is mounted on two pads 310 through its two support surfaces 160. The pads 310 are L-shaped, and the discharge port 130 of the storage trough 100 is located below the two pads 310. The two pads 310 are fixed on a carrier plate 320. The upper surface of the carrier plate 320 is parallel to the bottom surface 110.

[0063] As attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 5 As shown, the carrier plate 320 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 500, and the extension direction of the guide rail 500 is parallel to the bottom surface and extends along the first direction X. At the same time, the carrier plate 320 is connected to the translation mechanism 400 that drives its linear movement, and the translation mechanism 400 drives the carrier plate 320 to reciprocate between the first position and the second position.

[0064] The translation mechanism 400 can be any known device or mechanism capable of generating linear movement, for example, it can be a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder or electric push rod connected to the carrier plate 320. Figure 5 As shown, the translation mechanism 400 drives the moving base 300 to move back and forth along the guide rail through the elastic reset members 410 located on both sides of the moving base and the cam driven by the motor.

[0065] Specifically, as attached Figure 5 As shown, the elastic return member 410 is a spring, located on the right side of the movable base. One end of the spring is fixed or resting against the vertical plate 610 of the base 600, and the other end is fixed to the outer surface of the carrier plate or the corresponding pad. The spring is mounted on the outer periphery of a guide shaft 420 that is movably mounted on the vertical plate. The guide shaft 420 is fixed to the carrier plate 320 or the corresponding pad. Of course, the elastic return member 410 can also be a device with deformation and automatic reset capabilities, such as a spring.

[0066] As attached Figure 5As shown, the cam 430 is located on the left side of the carrier plate 320, which is preferably an oval wheel, the axis of the cam 430 is perpendicular to the bottom surface 110, and it is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the speed reducer 440 through a connecting member, the speed reducer 440 is fixed on the base 600 and connected to the motor 450, the oval surface of the cam 430 is in contact with the wheel surface of a first roller 460, the axis of the first roller 460 is perpendicular to the bottom surface 110 and is rotatably arranged on the carrier plate 320, of course, the first roller 460 can also be a universal ball fixed on the carrier plate 320.

[0067] At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of the storage tank 100 on the moving seat 300 during movement, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 5 As shown, the storage tank 100 is fixed on the moving seat 300 through a quick clamp chuck 700, the quick clamp chuck 700 is arranged in the middle region of the top of the carrier plate 320, the pressure head of the quick clamp chuck 700 exerts pressure on the top surface of the storage tank 100 to fix it on the two pads, and the pressure head is pressed on the middle region of the top surface of the storage tank 100, thereby ensuring the uniformity of pressure distribution. The specific structure of the quick clamp chuck 700 is known technology, which is not described here. Of course, in another embodiment, the quick clamp joint 700 can also adopt other mechanisms capable of exerting downward pressure on the storage tank 100 located on the moving seat, and can be an active fixing mechanism, which is not described here.

[0068] In order to ensure the smoothness of the rod body out of the storage tank and avoid the situation of material jamming, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 As shown, the rod body separating device further comprises an anti-blocking mechanism 800, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 4 As shown, the anti-blocking mechanism 800 comprises at least one gap 810 formed near the discharge port 130 at the limiting surface 120, the width of the gap 810 is smaller than the width of the limiting surface 120 and smaller than the length of the rod body, and the gap 810 extends from the inclined plane portion to the extension surface. A anti-blocking roller 820 with an axis perpendicular to the bottom surface 110 is arranged beside the gap 810, an eccentric shaft 830 perpendicular to the bottom surface is arranged on the anti-blocking roller 820, the eccentric shaft 830 can rotate and can drive part of the anti-blocking roller 820 to protrude from the gap 810 to above the limiting surface 120, so that the anti-blocking roller 820 can exert a driving force on the rod body near the discharge port when the rod body is jammed, thereby breaking the force balance of the rod body and enabling the rod body to continue to move downward under the action of gravity and the driving force of the anti-blocking roller 830 to realize stable discharge.

[0069] The eccentric shaft 830 is rotatably arranged on the storage tank 100, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 6As shown, the rotating shaft 830 is connected to the anti-blocking motor 840 through a spline (not shown in the figure), the anti-blocking motor 840 is fixed on the back of the carrier plate 320, and the carrier plate 320 is formed with a through hole for the power output shaft and spline of the anti-blocking motor 840 to pass through.

[0070] Of course, in another embodiment, the driving of the anti-blocking roller 820 can also be realized by other structures, for example, in a more preferred embodiment, the anti-blocking roller 820 is connected to the power source driving the storage tank 100 to move through a transmission mechanism, that is, the anti-blocking roller 820 is also driven by the above-mentioned motor 450 driving the cam 430 to rotate.

[0071] Specifically, a gear (not shown in the figure) is coaxially arranged on the rotating shaft, the gear is engaged with a rack (not shown in the figure), the extension direction of the rack is parallel to the translation direction of the moving seat 300, and the rack is fixed on the moving seat 300, so that when the moving seat 300 moves, the rack can be driven to reciprocate, the rack drives the gear to reciprocate forward and reverse to drive the anti-blocking roller 820 to rotate.

[0072] The receiving tank 200 is a through groove, which is an arc-shaped groove formed on the top surface of a body, the width of the receiving tank 200 is equivalent to the width of the discharge port 130, and the length of the receiving tank 200 can be greater than, less than or equal to the length of the discharge port 130. The depth of the receiving tank 200 is equivalent to the diameter of the rod body, which can only accommodate one rod body, and the distance between the receiving tank 200 and the discharge port 130 is much smaller than the diameter of the rod body. The receiving tank 200 is also inclined, and the extension direction of the receiving tank 200 is perpendicular to the bottom surface 110, so that the bottom of the receiving tank 200 has a height difference, and the end of the bottom of the receiving tank 200 close to the bottom surface 110 is lower than the other end. In this way, after the rod body enters the receiving tank 200, it can slide down along the receiving tank 200 and enter the subsequent structure.

[0073] In another embodiment, the depth of the receiving trough 200 can be gradually deepened from the higher end to the lower end, so that the rod falling into the receiving trough 200 has a larger inclination angle, so that the rod has a larger downward sliding force, facilitating smoother sliding out of the receiving trough 200. At this time, the size of the rod outlet at the lower end of the receiving trough 200 is comparable to the diameter of the rod, i.e. only one rod can be allowed to slide out of the rod outlet each time. The size of the rod outlet can be designed, for example, a baffle can be provided at the end face of the lower end of the receiving trough 200, and the distance between the baffle and the bottom of the lower end of the receiving trough 200 is slightly larger than the diameter of a rod. In this embodiment, the storage trough 100 can no longer move between the first position and the second position, i.e. the discharge port can remain in the state of being docked with the receiving trough 200. In order to enable the rod in the receiving trough 200 to slide out of it effectively, the rod in it should be in a vertical state as much as possible.

[0074] Therefore, in a more optimal way, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 the inclination angle of the receiving trough 200 can be adjusted. Specifically, the receiving trough 200 can be rotated about an axis 900 parallel to the bottom surface 110 and extending in the first direction X between a third position and a fourth position. When it is in the third position, it can be docked with the discharge port 140. The height difference between the two ends of the receiving trough 200 at the fourth position is greater than at the third position, i.e. at the fourth position, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 6 the inclination angle (the angle b between the extension direction of the receiving trough 200 and the horizontal plane) of the receiving trough 200 is larger.

[0075] In order to effectively support the block where the receiving trough 200 is located, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 the axis 900 is rotatably arranged on a support block 1000, which is fixed on the base 600 and located below the storage trough 100. The discharge port 130 of the storage trough 100 and the top surface 1100 of the support block 1000 maintain a small gap, which is much smaller than the diameter of the rod. The top surface 1100 of the support block 1000 is flush with the top surface of the block where the receiving trough 200 is located, and at the same time, the support block 1000 and the block where the receiving trough 200 is located maintain a small gap, so that the discharge port of the storage trough 100 can remain in a closed state when it is not docked with the receiving trough.

[0076] As shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 7As shown, the shaft 900 is connected to a swing driving mechanism 2000 which drives the shaft 900 to reciprocate in forward and reverse directions. The swing driving mechanism 2000 can be a reduction motor which is coaxially connected to the shaft 900 and drives the shaft 900 to reciprocate in forward and reverse directions. The swing driving mechanism 2000 can also be a transmission mechanism composed of a motor, a belt pulley and a synchronous belt or a sprocket and a chain.

[0077] In a more preferred embodiment, the swing driving mechanism 2000 shares a motor 450 with a mechanism which drives the storage tank 100 to move. More specifically, the swing driving mechanism 2000 is also driven by a cam 430 which is driven by the motor 450, and the cam 430 drives the storage tank 100 to move from the first position to the second position, and the receiving tank 200 moves from the third position to the fourth position and is in abutment with the discharge port of the storage tank 100.

[0078] Meanwhile, when the width of the block where the receiving tank 200 is located is the same as the width of the receiving tank 200, the time for the cam 430 to drive the storage tank 100 to move from the first position to the second position is the same as the time for the receiving tank 200 to move from the third position to the fourth position.

[0079] When the width of the block where the receiving tank 200 is located is greater than the width of the receiving tank 200, and there is a certain gap between the receiving tank 200 and the support block 1000, the receiving tank 200 starts to rotate downward when the discharge port of the storage tank 100 moves from above the block where the receiving tank 200 is located to the outside of the block; when the discharge port 130 of the storage tank 100 moves from above the support block 1000 to the outside of the support block 1000, the receiving tank 200 has rotated to the third position and remains in the third position before the discharge port 130 abuts against the receiving tank 200, i.e. the top surface of the block where the receiving tank 200 is located is flush with the top surface of the support block. Of course, in another embodiment, if the receiving tank 200 starts to rotate downward when the discharge port 130 moves from the block where the receiving tank 200 is located to the outside of the block, the receiving tank 200 rotates to an angle which satisfies the condition that the rod in the discharge port 130 does not fall out of the discharge port 130 and can move to the top of the support block 1000 at the time when the discharge port 130 rotates to the outside of the receiving tank 200.

[0080] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the receiving tank 200 is located in the third position and is in abutment with the discharge port 130 of the storage tank 100. Figure 7As shown, the cam 430 can drive a slider 2100 to reciprocate along a second direction Y that is perpendicular to the axis and parallel to the bottom surface. The slider 2100 is slidably arranged on the track 2200. The slider 2100 is rotatably provided with a second roller 2300 that is in contact with the side of the cam 430. The axis of the second roller 2300 is perpendicular to the bottom surface 110. The lower end of the slider 2100 is rotatably provided with a third roller 2400. The axis of the third roller 2400 extends along the first direction X. The third roller 2400 is connected to a third roller 2400 arranged on the bottom surface 110. The deflection block 2500 on the shaft 900 abuts against and can drive it to rotate around the shaft 900. The shaft 900 is preferably fixed to one end of the deflection block 2500, and the roller is in contact with the top surface of the other end of the deflection block 2500. The deflection block 2500 is also connected to a reset member 2600 that drives it to reset after swinging.
