[0003] With the significant improvement in the performance requirements for cutting tools with the development of processing technology, people have found that coating can greatly improve the performance of cutting tools, thereby enhancing the practicality and economy of cutting tools. This has further prompted people to coat cutting tools on a larger scale. However, before coating a cutting tool using the PVD process, the cutting tool needs to be cleaned and clamped. During the clamping process of the cutting tool, a metal casing needs to be used in cooperation with the fixture. Currently, there are many types of cutting tools on the market. When clamping cutting tools of different specifications, the lengths of some cutting tools are much longer than the length of the fixture sleeve. In order to meet the coating of the cutting edge of the cutting tool, the cutting edge of the cutting tool needs to be covered with a sleeve. Therefore, during the clamping process of the cutting tool, the sleeve and the casing need to be used in cooperation.

[0040] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several changes and improvements can still be made. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the preferred embodiments of the present invention include: a base 1, a track baffle 2, a sorting track 3, an acceleration and deceleration track 4, a rotating shaft 5, a feeding device 6, a motor 7, a bracket 8, a sorting frame 10, a baffle 11, a chain 12, and a guide rod 14. The bracket 8 is arranged on the base 1, the feeding device 6 is arranged on the bracket 8, the motor 7 is arranged at the bottom of the feeding device 6, the rotating shaft 5 is arranged inside the feeding device 6 and near the outlet of the feeding device 6, and the output shaft of the motor 7 is connected to the rotating shaft 5 through the chain 12 to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft 5 by the motor 7. The guide rod 14 is arranged inside the feeding device 6 and between the rotating shaft 5 and the acceleration and deceleration track 4; the guide rod 14 ensures that the sleeve can enter the acceleration and deceleration track 4 in the same direction. The acceleration and deceleration track 4 is connected to the outlet of the feeding device 6, the sorting track 3 is connected to the acceleration and deceleration track 4, and track baffles 2 are arranged around the sorting track 3 and the acceleration and deceleration track 4 to prevent the sleeve from sliding out of the track.

[0042] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the sorting track 3 is provided with holes having different lengths and widths, and starting from one side of the acceleration and deceleration track 4, the length and width of the holes gradually increase, facilitating the sleeve to fall from the corresponding sized holes when rolling on the sorting track 3, thereby realizing the sorting of the sleeve. The sorting track 3 can be manually disassembled to meet the need for sorting more types of sleeves. Correspondingly, a baffle 11 is arranged below the sorting track 3, the baffle 11 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the baffle 11 is arranged on both sides of any hole. A sorting frame 10 is arranged between adjacent baffles 11, and the sorting frame 10 receives the sleeve falling from the sorting track 3, and the baffle 11 can prevent the sleeve from falling into the adjacent sorting frame 10. Both the baffle 11 and the sorting frame 10 are arranged on the base 1. The bottom of the sorting frame 10 is provided with a rolling track, which can realize the assembly and disassembly of the sorting frame 10; a fixed handle is arranged at the front of the sorting frame 10, which can facilitate the removal and insertion of the sorting frame 10.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown, threaded holes 9 are arranged on the base 1 to realize the installation and fixation of the entire device. A vibration device is arranged inside the feeding device 6, the vibration device is driven by the motor 7, and when the motor 7 is turned on, the vibration device starts to work, causing the sleeve inside the feeding device 6 to start moving to ensure the continuous rolling of the sleeve and prevent jamming.

[0044] As shown Figure 1 and Figure 2 in the figure, the acceleration and deceleration track 4 and the sorting track 3 slope downward from one end of the acceleration and deceleration track 4 to one end of the sorting track 3, enabling the sleeve to roll downward from the feeding device 6 more easily and ensuring that the sleeve will not be blocked. The acceleration and deceleration track 4 is divided into two parts: an acceleration track and a deceleration track. The end close to the feeding device 6 is the acceleration track, and the friction coefficient of the acceleration track is smaller than that of the deceleration track, causing the sleeve to accelerate first and then decelerate when rolling. When a sleeve with a larger diameter contains a sleeve with a smaller diameter inside, the acceleration and deceleration track 4 can separate the two sleeves. That is, after the sleeve is accelerated by the acceleration track, it enters the deceleration track at a certain speed. Since the friction coefficient inside the sleeve with a larger diameter is smaller than the friction coefficient between the sleeve with a larger diameter and the guide rail, the sleeve inside the sleeve with a larger diameter can be separated. In this embodiment, the material of the acceleration and deceleration track 4 can be 316 stainless steel.

[0045] As shown Figure 6 in the figure, six grooves with different diameters are provided on the rotating shaft 5. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, the sleeves fall into the grooves, separating the mixed sleeves with different diameters in an orderly manner, and then enabling the sleeves to enter the acceleration and deceleration track 4 one by one. The rotating shaft 5 regulates the speed of the sleeves entering the acceleration and deceleration track 4. The rotation direction of the rotating shaft 5 is opposite to the rolling direction of the sleeves, preventing the sleeves from being squeezed and deformed.

[0046] As shown Figure 3 in the figure, a switch button 13 is provided on one side of the motor 7 to achieve the start and stop control of the motor 7.

[0047] As shown Figure 5 in the figure are sleeves with different diameters. When the device for sorting coated fixture sleeves of this embodiment is working, the sleeves are poured into the feeding device 6, the switch button 13 is turned on to start the motor 7, and the rotating shaft 5 is driven to rotate through the chain 12. At this time, the vibration device also starts to work. The sleeves roll down under the control of the rotating shaft 5, enter the acceleration and deceleration track 4 orderly through the guide rod 14, then enter the sorting track 3, and finally the sleeves with different diameters fall into the corresponding sorting bins 10, achieving the purpose of sorting the sleeves.

[0048] The device for sorting coated fixture sleeves provided by the present invention has only one electric control part in the overall structure, is simple and safe to operate, has a high degree of automation, and can perform sorting in a targeted manner. The sorting track can be selected according to the actual working conditions and can be customized to be applicable to more types of sleeves. The sorting track and the acceleration and deceleration track can be freely disassembled to meet the customization requirements.

[0049] The specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which does not affect the essence of the present invention. Without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined arbitrarily with each other.
