[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sorting device 1 provided in this application includes a frame 10 and a conveying assembly 20, a cutting assembly 30, a crushing assembly 40, an ejection assembly 50, and a pickup device 60 disposed on the frame 10. Specifically, the frame 10 includes a first platform 12 and a second platform 14 arranged in an upper and lower arrangement. The two-layer structure of the frame 10 facilitates a compact device layout.

[0035] Furthermore, a conveyor assembly 20 is disposed on the first platform 12 and is movable relative to the first platform 12. The conveyor assembly 20 is configured to move the sampling stick 2 to different process locations for processing. Furthermore, a cutting assembly 30 is disposed along the movement path of the conveyor assembly 20. The conveyor assembly 20 transports the sampling stick 2 to the cutting process location. The cutting assembly 30 is configured to cut off the excess portion at the end of the sampling stick 2, thereby facilitating the removal of the sample within the sampling stick 2.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, further, a crushing assembly 40 is arranged on the first platform 12, and the crushing assembly 40 is used to remove the casting sand layer on the outside of the sampling rod 2. By setting the crushing assembly 40, the automation of breaking the casting sand outside the sample during the sampling process is realized, replacing manual operation, and improving work efficiency and work safety.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an ejection assembly 50 is further provided on one side of the crushing assembly 40. The ejection assembly 50 includes an ejection portion 56. A first through-hole 122 is formed in the portion of the first platform 12 corresponding to the ejection portion 56. A separation box 621 is provided below the first through-hole 122. The conveying assembly 20 moves the crushed sampling rod 2 to the ejection process position, controls the operation of the ejection assembly 50, and then ejects the sample in the sampling rod 2 through the ejection portion 56. The ejected sample falls into the separation box 621 through the first through-hole 122. The separation box 621 is provided on the second platform 14. The sample in the separation box 621 is then removed by the removal portion 644 of the removal device 60, thereby realizing an unmanned and automated sampling process, improving production efficiency, greatly reducing manual labor intensity, and improving the safety of the entire process.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a specific application, the sampling rod 2 is a long round tube as a whole, and the outer side of the sample end of the sampling rod 2 is wrapped with casting sand. Due to the heavy wrapping on the outside of the sample, there are technical difficulties in realizing its automatic sorting. The sampling rod 2 is long, and manual picking is difficult. In addition, the sample end of the sampling rod 2 is still covered with casting sand, so that the sample cannot be separated from the sampling rod 2, which brings considerable difficulty to the sampling process. As the sampling rod 2 is taken out of the ladle, the end of the sampling rod 2 still maintains a relatively high temperature, which increases the difficulty of sorting.

[0039] The sorting equipment 1 provided in the present application cuts the longer sampling rods 2 by setting a cutting component 30, cutting off the excess sampling rods 2, thereby facilitating the further removal of samples; further, the casting sand is crushed by the crushing component 40, which further accelerates the speed of sample removal, and all of them are automatically processed by machines, avoiding the risks of manual operation and improving the efficiency of picking samples.

[0040] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the picking device 60 includes: a separation component 62, which is arranged on the second platform 14, the separation component 62 includes a separation box 621 and a vibration member 622, the vibration member 622 is arranged in the separation box 621, the separation box 621 is inclined relative to the second platform 14, and the separation box 621 includes a discharge port; a picking component 64, which is arranged on the second platform 14, the picking component 64 includes a push box 646, a push part and a picking part 644, and the push box 646 is located below the discharge port; wherein, the sorting equipment 1 also includes a first collecting box 90, and the pushing part is used to push the residual material in the pushing box 646 to the first collecting box 90.

[0041] In this embodiment, the picking device 60 includes a separation component 62 and a material picking component 64. The separation component 62 is used to separate the samples and residues in the separation box 621, and the material picking component 64 is used to take out the separated samples, thereby improving the degree of automation of sample sorting.

[0042] Specifically, the separation component 62 includes a separation box 621 and a vibration member 622. The vibration member 622 is arranged on the separation box 621. By setting the vibration member 622, the separation box 621 is vibrated, thereby preventing incomplete crushing or residues adhering to the outside of the sample. The sample and the residue are further separated in the separation box 621 through vibration.

[0043] Furthermore, by setting a discharge port in the separation box 621, the residue and sample after separation are fed into the material taking component 64 through the discharge port for taking out.

[0044] Furthermore, by tilting the separation box 621 relative to the second platform 14, under the action of the vibrating member 622, the residue and samples will gradually enter the material taking component 64 through the discharge port, thereby improving the automation of the sorting process.

[0045] Specifically, the separation box 621 forms an angle of 10 degrees with the table surface of the second platform 14. As the separation box 621 vibrates, the samples and residues fall into the material removal component 64 for the removal operation.

[0046] Specifically, the material picking component 64 includes a pushing box 646, a pushing part and a picking part 644. The pushing box 646 is arranged corresponding to the discharge port of the separation box 621. The residue and sample separated by the separation box 621 gradually enter the pushing box 646 through the discharge port. After the sample is removed by the picking part 644, the residue in the pushing box 646 is pushed into the first collection box 90 by the pushing part.

[0047] Furthermore, a second feed hole is formed on the second platform 14 and is located at the discharge end of the push box 646. The first collection box 90 is located below the second platform 14 and corresponds to the second feed hole. After the retrieval unit 644 has removed the sample, the push unit pushes the residue in the push box 646 to the discharge end, where it enters the first collection box 90 through the second feed hole, completing the collection and disposal of the residue.

[0048] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the separation assembly 62 also includes: two first support seats 623, the two first support seats 623 are respectively connected to the separation box 621 through springs 625; two second support seats 624, the two second support seats 624 are respectively connected to the separation box 621 through springs 625, the two second supports are located on both sides of the discharge port, and the two first support seats 623 are located on the side of the separation box 621 away from the discharge port; wherein, the vibration member 622 includes a vibration motor, which is arranged on both sides of the separation box 621, and the height of the second support seat 624 is less than the height of the first support seat 623.

[0049] In this embodiment, the separation assembly 62 further includes two first support bases 623 and two second support bases 624, which are respectively disposed at the four bottom corners of the separation box 621 to support the separation box 621. Furthermore, by setting the height of the second support bases 624 to be less than that of the first support bases 623, the separation box 621 is tilted, thereby facilitating the screening of materials within the separation box 621.

[0050] Specifically, the vibrating member is a vibration motor, which is disposed on both sides of the separation box 621 , thereby improving the vibration stability and amplitude of the separation box 621 to achieve efficient separation.

[0051] Specifically, the two vibration motors are respectively fixed on both sides of the separation box 621 , and the vibration motors are tilted relative to the table surface of the second platform 14 .

[0052] Specifically, the inclination angle of the vibration motor relative to the table surface of the second platform 14 is 45 degrees.

[0053] Specifically, four vibration ears are provided on the outer wall of the separation box 621, and the four vibration ears are respectively connected to the two first support seats 623 and the two second support seats 624 through springs 625, thereby realizing a flexible connection between the separation box 621 and the second table top, thereby improving the vibration effect of the separation box 621.

[0054] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the material taking component 64 also includes: a support frame 641, which is arranged on the second platform 14, and the support frame 641 is mounted above the push box 646; a take-up cylinder 642, which is arranged on the support frame 641; a fixed frame 643, the fixed frame 643 is slidably connected to the support frame 641, and the output end of the take-up cylinder 642 is connected to the fixed frame 643, and the take-up cylinder 642 is used to push the fixed frame 643 to slide relative to the support frame 641, and the take-up part 644 is provided. Placed on the fixed frame 643; the material receiving box 645 is located below the second platform 14 and is used to store samples; wherein, a first material feed hole 142 is provided on the second platform 14, and the material receiving box 645 is located below the first material feed hole 142, and the picking part 644 is used to pick up the samples in the pushing box 646, and the picking cylinder 642 is used to push the picking part 644 to the first material feed hole 142, and release the sample from the first material feed hole 142 into the material receiving box 645.

[0055] In this embodiment, the material picking assembly 64 further includes a support frame 641, a picking cylinder 642, a fixing frame 643, and a material receiving box 645. Specifically, the support frame 641 is disposed above the push box 646, straddling the push box 646 and supporting the picking cylinder 642. The output end of the picking cylinder 642 is provided with a fixing frame 643, which is used to mount the picking portion 644. The picking cylinder 642 drives the fixing frame 643 to reciprocate relative to the support frame 641 to continuously pick up samples.

[0056] Furthermore, a first material feed hole 142 is provided on the second platform 14 at one end of the support frame 641, and a material receiving box 645 is located below the second platform 14 and is arranged corresponding to the first material feed hole 142. The material picking process is as follows: after the picking unit 644 picks up the material, the picking cylinder 642 pushes the fixed frame 643 to move above the first material feed hole 142, controls the picking unit 644 to release the sample, and the sample enters the material receiving box 645 through the first material feed hole 142, thus completing the automatic sorting process of the sample.

[0057] Specifically, the picking part 644 includes an electromagnet, which is arranged on the side of the fixed frame 643 facing the push box 646. By setting the electromagnet, the picking and discharging of materials can be controlled by powering on and off, which is convenient for control. When it is necessary to pick up materials, the electromagnet is controlled to be energized. When it reaches the discharging position, the electromagnet is controlled to be de-energized. After the power is cut off, there is no magnetism, and the sample falls into the first material passing hole 142 under the action of gravity and enters the material receiving box 645.

[0058] Specifically, the pickup cylinder 642 is fixed to the upper surface of the support frame 641, the side of the fixing frame 643 is connected to the piston rod of the pickup cylinder 642 and attached to the support frame 641, and the electromagnet is provided on the magnet fixing frame 643. The receiving box 645 can be placed on the ground.

[0059] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the material taking component 64 also includes: a pushing plate, which is arranged in the pushing box 646, and the pushing part includes a pushing cylinder 647, and the output end of the pushing cylinder 647 is connected to the pushing plate, and the pushing cylinder 647 is used to push the pushing plate to reciprocate in the pushing box 646; a water spraying part 70, the water spraying part 70 is arranged toward the pushing box 646, and the water spraying part 70 is used to spray water into the pushing box 646; a water pipe 80, the water pipe 80 is connected to the pushing box 646, and is used to drain the liquid in the pushing box 646.

[0060] In this embodiment, the material picking component 64 also includes: a pushing plate and a water spray part 70, a pushing cylinder 647 at the pushing part, the output end of the pushing cylinder 647 is connected to the pushing plate, and the pushing cylinder 647 pushes the pushing plate to reciprocate along the pushing box 646 to push the residue and sample pieces in the pushing box 646 to the side of the picking part 644, so as to facilitate the picking part 644 to pick up the sample pieces.

[0061] Furthermore, the water spray unit 70 includes a water spray pipe and a water spray base. The water spray pipe is connected to the water spray base, and a nozzle is provided at the end of the water spray pipe to achieve uniform water spray. After the sample and residue fall from the separation box 621 into the push box 646, the sample is still at a relatively high temperature. The water spray unit 70 sprays water to cool the sample and residue. Then, the push cylinder 647 applies force to drive the push plate to push the residue and sample into the sample removal area. Furthermore, the water pipe 80 is included. The water pipe 80 is used to drain the accumulated water in the push box 646 to prevent water accumulation.

The slider 24 is mounted on the lead screw 22 through a threaded hole. The rotary motor 23 drives the lead screw 22 to rotate, converting the rotary motion into linear reciprocating motion of the slider 24. This in turn drives the base 25 disposed on the slider 24 to reciprocate. Furthermore, the reciprocating motion of the fixed portion 27 moves the sampling rod 2 to different process positions.

[0065] Furthermore, a positioning hole 26 is provided on the base 25 , and the positioning hole 26 is used to position the sampling rod 2 . The positioning hole 26 cooperates with the fixing portion 27 to achieve positioning of the sampling rod 2 and maintain the stability of the sampling rod 2 .

Furthermore, the guide base 28 is provided with a guide groove 282 extending along the guide base 28 and a scraper 29 that matches the guide groove 282. The guide groove 282 and scraper 29 serve to contain and remove the debris generated during the cutting and crushing process of the sampling rod 2.

[0069] Furthermore, a first through hole 122 is formed at the end of the guide seat 28 , and the scraper plate 29 pushes the residue in the guide groove 282 into the separation box 621 through the first through hole 122 .

[0070] Considering that the sampling stick 2 is of a certain length and difficult to pick up when placed horizontally, the sampling stick 2 is placed vertically, perpendicular to the work surface, and driven by the screw and slider 24 to enter the cutting area, crushing area, and ejection area in sequence. First, the sampling stick 2 is placed in the positioning hole 26, with the end of the sampling stick 2 against the upper surface of the guide seat 28. After positioning, the pneumatic finger applies force to tighten the sampling stick 2, and the screw and slider 24 start working to move it into the next process.

[0071] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the cutting assembly 30 includes: a frame 32, which is arranged on the first platform 12, and the frame 32 is located on one side of the guide seat 28; a cutting motor 34, which is arranged on the frame 32; and a cutter 36, which is connected to the cutting motor 34; wherein the cutting motor 34 is used to drive the cutter 36 to rotate to cut off part of the sampling rod 2 as needed, and the conveying assembly 20 conveys the remaining sampling rod 2 to the crushing assembly 40.

[0072] In this embodiment, the cutting assembly 30 includes a frame 32 and a cutting motor 34 provided on the frame 32. The output end of the cutting motor 34 is connected to a cutter 36. The cutting motor 34 drives the cutter 36 to rotate to cut off the excess tail tube of the sampling rod 2. At the same time, the cut excess tail tube can be removed by a robot.

[0073] Specifically, the frame 32 is configured in a bent shape, thereby facilitating the placement of the cutter 36 above the guide seat 28 .

[0074] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the crushing assembly 40 includes: a first crushing motor 42 and a second crushing motor, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the guide seat 28; a first crushing roller 46 and a second crushing roller 48, which are respectively connected to the first crushing motor 42 and the second crushing motor; wherein, there is a distance between the first crushing roller 46 and the second crushing roller 48, and the distance of the distance is greater than the diameter of the sample and smaller than the diameter of the sampling rod 2.

[0075] In this embodiment, the crushing assembly 40 includes: a first crushing motor 42, a second crushing motor and a first crushing roller 46 and a second crushing roller 48 connected to the motors respectively. The crushing rollers are driven by the motors to rotate to crush the outer wall of the sampling rod 2 passing through the distance between the two motors.

[0076] Specifically, the first crushing motor 42 and the second crushing motor are arranged below the first platform 12, and the output ends extend to the upper surface of the first platform 12 through the mounting holes to be connected to the first crushing roller 46 and the second crushing roller 48 respectively, thereby making full use of the structural characteristics of the frame 10 and realizing the reasonable arrangement of various components.

[0077] Furthermore, the first crushing roller 46 and the second crushing roller 48 are respectively arranged on both sides of the guide seat 28, with a distance therebetween, and the distance is for the sampling rod 2 to pass through.

[0078] Furthermore, by setting the spacing between the first crushing roller 46 and the second crushing roller 48 to be larger than the diameter of the sample and smaller than the diameter of the sampling rod 2, damage to the sample during the crushing process is avoided. When the lead screw 22 and the slider 24 drive the end of the remaining sampling rod 2 to the crushing zone, the crushing assembly 40 begins to operate, and the first crushing roller 46 and the second crushing roller 48 rotate in opposite directions to complete the crushing of the outer layer of casting sand. Furthermore, when the residue after crushing by the crushing assembly 40 falls into the guide groove 282 of the guide seat 28, the scraper 29 begins to function. As the slider 24 further moves, the scraper 29 also moves in the same direction, carrying the residue.

The piston rod of the ejection cylinder 54 is connected to the ejection part 56. The piston rod of the ejection cylinder 54 reciprocates to drive the ejection part 56 to eject the sample in the sampling rod 2 and drop it into the separation box 621 through the first through hole 122.

[0081] Specifically, the ejection portion 56 includes an ejection circular plate, the shape of which matches the cross-sectional shape of the sample, thereby improving the ejection efficiency.

[0082] Specifically, the ejection stand 52 is located on one side of the crushing assembly 40, and the ejection stand and the cutting assembly 30 are located on both sides of the crushing assembly 40, so that the output assembly can drive the sampling rod 2 to pass through the positions corresponding to the cutting, crushing and ejection processes in sequence, thereby improving the smoothness of the operation of the entire machine.

[0083] Specifically, after the sampling rod 2 is processed by the crushing assembly 40, the sample is still in the remaining short tube. In order to further separate the sample from the short tube, an ejection assembly 50 is set to eject the sample from the tube. When the screw rod and the slider 24 drive the end of the remaining sampling rod 2 to the ejection area, the scraper plate 29 pushes the residue from the guide groove 282 of the guide seat 28 into the first through hole 122 and falls into the separation box 621 below. The force applied by the ejection cylinder 54 is used to realize the up and down movement of the ejection circular plate, and the sample is ejected from the sampling rod 2 from the first through hole 122 into the separation box 621.

[0084] Furthermore, a second through-hole 124 is provided on the other side of the first through-hole 122, a third feed hole is provided on the second platform 14, a second collection box is provided below the feed hole, and a guide tube 126 is provided between the first platform 12 and the second platform 14.

The pneumatic finger releases the force on the sampling rods, and the remaining sampling rods enter the guide tube 126 through the second through-hole 124. Under the guidance of the guide tube 126, they pass through the third feed hole and enter the second collection box, completing the collection of the remaining sampling rods 2.

[0085] Specifically, the first collection box 90 and the second collection box 92 are both located below the second platform 14 and can be set on the ground to reduce the space occupied by the entire machine.

[0086] Specifically, the first collection box 90 and the second collection box 92 are configured as an integrated structure.
