Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wooden tableware processing technology, specifically, it relates to a screening machine for wooden tableware blanks and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] During the production and processing of wooden tableware, it is necessary to select raw materials. Traditionally, the selection of raw materials is done manually. After visually judging and removing the scraps and broken pieces, the raw materials are manually bundled and the larger ends are distinguished before they can be bundled. This process is labor-intensive and has high labor costs.

[0003] This invention uses a screening chute to remove residual and broken materials. The semi-finished blanks are then transported to a feeding device via a transfer conveyor belt. A PLC program controls the feeding of blanks according to actual needs. After the blanks are processed and fed, they are visually inspected, and defective products are rejected.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A screening machine for raw wooden tableware blanks includes a feeding hopper and an integral frame. A feeding belt is installed at the outlet of the feeding hopper. A screening and feeding chute is installed at the discharge end of the feeding belt. A transfer acceleration belt is located below the screening and feeding chute, and a transfer sorting belt is installed below the transfer acceleration belt. A first feeding device is installed at the outlet end of the transfer sorting belt, and a first sorting and feeding device is installed at the outlet end of the first feeding device. A visual sorting and NG rejection device is also installed on the conveying end of the first sorting and feeding device. A same-side material distribution device is installed on the outlet end of the first sorting and feeding device, and a first semi-automatic feeding device is configured at the lower end of the same-side material distribution device. The bundling device includes a material receiving belt located below the discharge end of one side of the same-side material distribution device. Below the material receiving belt is a second feeding device, and below the second feeding device is a second sorting and feeding device. A second semi-automatic bundling device is located at the discharge end of the second sorting and feeding device. The feeding hopper, feeding belt, screening and unloading chute, transfer acceleration belt, transfer sorting belt, first feeding device, first sorting and feeding device, visual sorting and NG rejection device, same-side material distribution device, first semi-automatic bundling device, material receiving belt, second feeding device, second sorting and feeding device, and second semi-automatic bundling device are all mounted on the overall frame.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a feed belt drive motor for controlling the operation of the feed belt is installed on the overall frame.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the overall frame is equipped with a transfer belt drive motor for controlling the operation of the transfer belt.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first feeding device is equipped with a feeding control cylinder for controlling the feeding process.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first sorting and feeding motor for controlling the operation of the first sorting and feeding device is installed on the overall frame below the first sorting and feeding device. The first sorting and feeding motor controls the operation of the first sorting and feeding device through a pulley.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the same-side material distribution device is equipped with a material distribution and pushing cylinder for controlling the material distribution operation.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first semi-automatic baling device power motor for operating the first semi-automatic baling device is installed on the overall frame of the first semi-automatic baling device, and a material receiving belt power motor for controlling the operation of the material receiving belt is installed on the other side of the overall frame. The overall frame is also equipped with a second material feeding control cylinder for controlling the operation of the second material feeding device, a second sorting and feeding power motor for controlling the operation of the second sorting and feeding device, and a second semi-automatic baling device power motor for controlling the operation of the second semi-automatic baling device.

[0013] A method for using a screening machine for raw wooden tableware materials includes the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: The material is brought to the screening and unloading chute through the feeding hopper and feeding belt, and then the residual material and the material is cut off after passing through the screening and unloading chute;

[0015] Step 2: The semi-finished blank material is transported to the first feeding device via the transfer and sorting belt. The blank material is released according to the actual needs through the PLC program control. After the blank material passes through the first sorting and feeding device, it is visually sorted and rejected by the visual sorting and NG rejection device to discharge unqualified products.

[0016] Step 3: Qualified blanks are then visually sorted and rejected by the NG rejection device. The orientation of the larger end is determined based on the outline of the blank. The blank with the larger end facing left is pushed onto the material receiving belt by the material distribution and pushing cylinder of the same side material distribution device.

[0017] Step 4: The left-hand side of the separated blank material is then sorted by the second feeding device and the second sorting and feeding device, and then manually bundled by the second semi-automatic bundling device; the right-hand side of the material continues to be fed forward and then manually bundled by the first semi-automatic bundling device.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0019] Residual and broken materials are removed from the feed conveyor belt and screening chute. Then, the material is sorted by a transfer and sorting conveyor belt, making it orderly for subsequent visual sorting, rejection of defective materials, same-side separation, and semi-automatic bundling. This ensures that the large ends of the sorted raw materials face the same direction before bundling, reducing labor intensity and labor costs.

[0020] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description
