[0002] Memory alloys are a special type of metal that can restore their original macroscopic shape within a certain temperature range after undergoing plastic deformation within a certain range. Utilizing this characteristic, memory alloys are currently used in many industries, such as pipe joints, antennas, springs and other instruments. They also have angled applications in medical devices, such as intramedullary nails and bone plates.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The present invention lays the shell on the paving disc through the paving box. As the rotating shaft rotates, the fan-shaped disc rotates. After the pressure rod rotates to the bottom of the pressure plate, the pressure plate presses the pressure rod downward, prompting the rolling disc to slide downward. The rolling disc rolls the shell on the paving disc, and during the rolling process, since the rolling disc is in a rotating state, the rolling disc will rub the rolled shell, and then it can further ensure that the mouth of the shell is rubbed and rolled open;

[0014] 3. The present invention weighs the shell flowing into the net bag through a pressure sensor to obtain the initial weight D of the shell in the net bag. After the shell in the net bag is soaked and low-temperature distilled, the pressure sensor weighs the shell after low-temperature distillation in the net bag again to obtain the weight D1 of the shell in the net bag after distillation. The controller then compares and judges the weight D with the weight D1, so that the controller can know the amount of material entering the shell. When the amount of material entering the shell meets the standard, the operation of filling the shell with material is completed. When the amount of material entering the shell does not meet the standard, the controller controls the turntable to reset the net bag to the bottom of the storage barrel again, and then performs the soaking and low-temperature distillation operations again until the standard is met.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] See also Figure 1-22 The present invention provides a technical solution: an automated shell crushing and sorting system, comprising a low temperature box 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, a door 101 is provided on the side wall of the cryogenic box 1, and a cooling device 12 is provided on the cryogenic box 1. The cooling device 12 can reduce the temperature inside the cryogenic box 1, so that the interior of the cryogenic box 1 is in a low temperature state. The cryogenic box 1 is also provided with a filling port 11 for placing the shell. The shell is made of a memory alloy, such as a nickel-titanium alloy. The deformation temperature varies according to the actual ratio of the elements. Generally, there are relevant memory alloys from 0 degrees to 50 degrees. A controller 10 is also provided on the side wall of the cryogenic box 1. A water tank 2 is provided inside the cryogenic box 1. Figure 1 and 10 As shown, a water inlet 13 and a drain port 14 are provided on the side wall of the water tank 2. The water inlet 13 and the drain port 14 penetrate the side wall of the low-temperature box 1 and extend to the outside thereof. The water inlet 13 plays the role of injecting water into the water tank 2, and the drain port 14 plays the role of draining the water inside the water tank 2. A pressing mechanism 3 for crushing the shell mouth of the filling material is provided above the water tank 2. A classification mechanism 4 is provided inside the water tank 2. A filling mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank 2. The classification mechanism 4 utilizes the different sedimentation speeds of the crushed shell in the liquid. The shells are classified according to the degree to which the mouths are crushed and opened, and the shells settle at different speeds in the liquid, forming unopened, semi-opened, opened and crushed shell sedimentation layers from top to bottom, and the classification mechanism 4 collects the shells in different sedimentation layers separately. A plurality of transportation mechanisms 5 are provided inside the water tank 2, one transportation mechanism 5 transports the shells with unopened and semi-opened mouths to the pressing mechanism 3 for re-crushing, one transportation mechanism 5 transports the shells with opened mouths to the filling mechanism 6 for filling of materials, and one transportation mechanism 5 discharges the crushed shells.

[0040] like Figure 16-20 As shown, in order to be able to crush the mouth of the shell, the pressing mechanism 3 includes a paving disc 301, the paving disc 301 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the water tank 2, the side wall of the paving disc 301 is provided with a discharge groove 302, the paving disc 301 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 303, the fixing frame 303 is fixedly installed with a silo 304 for holding the shell, the lower part of the silo 304 is connected to a rotating shaft 306 through a first motor 305, and the first motor 305 is fixedly installed. On the side wall of the fixed frame 303, the output shaft of the first motor 305 is meshed with the rotating shaft 306 through teeth. When the first motor 305 is started, the output shaft of the first motor 305 rotates with the rotating shaft 306. A material spreading box 307 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 306. The lower side of the material spreading box 307 is hollowed out, and the lower side of the material spreading box 307 is attached to the upper side of the material spreading disc 301. The material spreading box 307 is connected to the silo 304 through the material delivery pipe 308. Figure 17As shown, the upper end of the feeding pipe 308 is fixed at a position off-center of the rotating shaft 306, and the discharge port of the silo 304 is also opened at a position off-center of the rotating shaft 306. At this time, when the rotating shaft 306 rotates, the rotating shaft 306 rotates with the material laying box 307 and the feeding pipe 308 on the material laying disk 301. At this time, the upper end of the feeding pipe 308 is movably connected with the discharge port of the silo 304. When the upper end of the feeding pipe 308 is connected with the discharge port of the silo 304, the shell inside the silo 304 will flow into the interior of the material laying box 307 along the feeding pipe 308. At this time, as the rotating shaft 306 rotates with the material laying box 307, the shell inside the material laying box 307 is laid on the material laying disk. When the material paving box 307 reaches the discharge chute 302, the shell inside the material paving box 307 is laid on the disk 301, preventing the shell from directly flowing into the discharge chute 302. A fan-shaped disk 309 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 306, and a rolling disk 3011 is slidably connected to the side wall of the fan-shaped disk 309 through a first spring 3010. A pressure rod 3012 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the rolling disk 3011, and a pressure plate 3013 is fixedly installed on the fixing frame 303. The pressure plate 3013 movably presses on the side wall of the pressure rod 3012 to enable the rolling disk 3011 to slide downward and roll the shell on the material paving disk 301;

[0041] After the shells in the material paving box 307 are all laid on the material paving disc 301, the rotation of the rotating shaft 306 causes the fan-shaped disc 309 to rotate. When the pressure rod 3012 rotates to the bottom of the pressure plate 3013, the pressure rod 3012 is pressed downward by the pressure plate 3013, causing the rolling disc 3011 to overcome the elastic force of the first spring 3010 and slide downward, causing the rolling disc 3011 to roll the shells on the material paving disc 301, and during the rolling process, since the rolling disc 3011 is in a rotating state, the rolling disc 3011 will roll the shells. The shovel 3014 is fixedly installed on one side of the forward direction of the material paving box 307. When the material paving box 307 performs secondary paving, the shovel 3014 will shovel the previously laid and rolled shell into the interior of the discharge chute 302, and the rolled shell will be transported to the interior of the sorting mechanism 4 through the discharge chute 302;

[0042] In addition, if Figure 17 、 19As shown in FIG20 , in order to accurately lay the shell on the rolling area of ​​the paving disc 301, the upper side profile of the paving disc 301 is provided with a raised profile 3015, and the side of the paving box 307 away from the forward direction is rotatably connected to a scraping plate 3017 through a second spring 3016, and the end of the scraping plate 3017 is fixedly connected to a protrusion 3018, which can drive the scraping plate 3017 to rotate and open after the protrusion 3018 cooperates with the raised profile 3015;

[0043] When the shell is loaded into the interior of the material paving box 307, the scraper plate 3017 will block the material paving opening of the material paving box 307 (such as Figure 20 As shown), when the material paving box 307 rotates on the material paving disk 301, the shell inside the material paving box 307 will not be exposed. When the protrusion 3018 is moved by the raised profile 3015, the scraper plate 3017 is forced to overcome the torsion of the second spring 3016 and open (as shown). Figure 19 As shown), at this time, the shell inside the material paving box 307 is laid on the material paving disc 301 from the bottom of the scraping plate 3017, and the scraping plate 3017 also plays the role of scraping the shell flat. When the protrusion 3018 is not moved by the raised profile 3015, the scraping plate 3017 is reset to the position as shown by the torsion force of the second spring 3016. Figure 20 The status shown.

[0044] like Figure 12-15 As shown, in order to classify the crushed shells according to the size of the mouth opening, specifically, the classification mechanism 4 includes a fixed bucket 401, which is fixedly installed inside the water tank 2, and a conical bucket 402 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed bucket 401. A conical block 403 is supported above the conical bucket 402 by a support rod. A channel for the shell to sink is left between the conical bucket 402 and the conical block 403. A plurality of through grooves 404 are evenly opened on the conical bucket 402 from top to bottom. A sedimentation bucket 406 for receiving the sunken shell is slidably connected to the bottom of the fixed bucket 401 through a first oil cylinder 405. Figure 10 As shown, the first oil cylinder 405 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank 2, and the lower end of the output shaft of the first oil cylinder 405 is fixedly connected to the inside of the sedimentation barrel 406. When the first oil cylinder 405 is started, the output shaft of the first oil cylinder 405 will drive the sedimentation barrel 406 to slide up or down, and a plurality of mesh holes are opened on the side walls of the sedimentation barrel 406 and the fixed barrel 401, so as to introduce the water inside the water tank 2 into the sedimentation barrel 406 and the fixed barrel 401, and ensure that the water level inside the sedimentation barrel 406 and the fixed barrel 401 is the same as the water level inside the water tank 2. The interior of the sedimentation barrel 406 is provided with a plurality of annular baffles 407, and the plurality of annular baffles 407 separate the inner cavity of the sedimentation barrel 406 into a plurality of different inner cavities, and the upper ends of the plurality of annular baffles 407 are movably blocked in the inside of the through groove 404.

[0045] The controller 10 is electrically connected to the first oil cylinder 405 , and the controller 10 controls the operation of the first oil cylinder 405 , thereby controlling the sedimentation bucket 406 to slide upward or downward;

[0046] like Figure 12-15 As shown, the shells crushed by the pressing mechanism 3 will be directed to the upper middle position of the conical block 403. Due to the taper of the upper side of the conical block 403, the shells will roll down along the upper side of the conical block 403 into the channel. According to the different opening ranges of the shell mouths, the shells will sink in the channel at different sedimentation speeds. After a period of time, the controller 10 drives the first oil cylinder 405 to start, thereby driving the sedimentation barrel 401 to slide upward, causing the upper end of the annular partition 407 to be intercepted in the channel. At this time, the shells in the channel will be deposited into different inner cavities from the through groove 404, thereby classifying the shells according to the different openings of the mouths.

[0047] For example, after a batch of shells are introduced into the channel, a period of time is left for the shells to settle freely in the channel (for example, 1 minute). The larger the opening, the faster the settlement, and the smaller the opening, the slower the settlement. Within 2 minutes, the shells will be distributed in the channel (the shells without openings will float on the water surface above the channel). After 2 minutes, the controller 10 controls the first oil cylinder 405 to start, causing the sedimentation bucket 406 to slide upward (as shown in FIG. Figure 14 As shown), at this time, the shell will be blocked by the annular partition 407 and poured into the various inner cavities of the sedimentation bucket 406 from the through groove 404, thereby distinguishing the shells with different mouth openings.

[0048] like Figure 11-12 , 21-22, in order to discharge the shells in each inner cavity of the sedimentation barrel 406, specifically, the transportation mechanism 5 includes a plurality of lifting pipes 501 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the water tank 2, and the interior of the plurality of lifting pipes 501 is connected to the auger blades 503 by the second motor 502. Figure 21 As shown, the second motor 502 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the material lifting pipe 501, and the output shaft of the second motor 502 is connected to the upper end of the auger blade 503. When the second motor 502 is started, the output shaft of the second motor 502 drives the auger blade 503 to rotate inside the material lifting pipe 501, thereby lifting the shell inside the material lifting pipe 501 upward. The multiple material lifting pipes 501 are respectively connected with connecting pipes 504 to realize the transportation of the shells accumulated in the inner cavity of the sedimentation bucket 406 to the interior of the material lifting pipe 501. In order not to affect the up and down sliding of the sedimentation bucket 406, the connecting pipe 504 is relatively slidably connected to the material lifting pipe 501, and a discharge pipe 505 for discharging the shell is provided above the material lifting pipe 501;

[0049] The shell in the inner cavity of the sedimentation barrel 406 is introduced into the lifting pipe 501 by using the connecting pipe 504. By starting the second motor 502, the auger blade 503 is prompted to transport the shell in the lifting pipe 501 upward, and after the shell moves to the discharge pipe 505, the shell will be discharged from the discharge pipe 505. Figure 12 As shown, the shell with the mouth opened will be discharged through the lifting pipe 501 and the discharge pipe 505 to the filling device 6 for filling processing, and the unopened or half-opened shell will be discharged through the lifting pipe 501 and the discharge pipe 505 to the pressing mechanism 3 for re-crushing. The crushed shell cannot be used and is discharged to the outside of the low-temperature box 1 through the lifting pipe 501 and the discharge pipe 505, thereby improving the accuracy of the filling material.

[0050] like Figure 21-22 As shown, in order to smoothly transport the shell in the inner cavity of the sedimentation barrel 406 to the lifting pipe 501 through the connecting pipe 504, specifically, the transportation mechanism 5 also includes a water pump 506, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the water tank 2. The water pump 506 is provided with a main water outlet pipe 507 and a main water suction pipe 508. In order to avoid interfering with the sliding of the sedimentation barrel 406, a hose section is provided in the middle of the main water outlet pipe 507 and the main water suction pipe 508, which can be bent and matched with the main water outlet pipe 507 and the main water suction pipe 508 when the sedimentation barrel 406 slides. A plurality of branch water suction pipes 509 are connected in parallel to the main water suction pipe 508. The end of the main water outlet pipe 507 is connected to the connection between the material feeding pipe 501 and the connecting pipe 504. A plurality of branch water outlet pipes 5010 are connected in parallel to the main water outlet pipe 507. The ends of the plurality of branch water outlet pipes 5010 are inserted into the interior of the fixed barrel 401 and the sedimentation barrel 406, and the water outlet directions of the plurality of branch water outlet pipes 5010 are tangent to the inner side walls of the fixed barrel 401 and the sedimentation barrel 406, thereby driving the water in the fixed barrel 401 and the sedimentation barrel 406 to rotate. The position where the fixed barrel 401 and the sedimentation barrel 406 stack shells is provided with a blocking net 5011 for intercepting the shell, so that the shell is intercepted at the position where the connecting pipe 504 is connected to the fixed barrel 401 and the sedimentation barrel 406. Figure 13-15 As shown, the intercepting net 5011 located inside the fixed barrel 401 is half below the water surface and half above the water surface, so that the unopened shells (shells floating in the water) can be intercepted. A filter net 5012 for intercepting the shells is provided between the water suction pipe 509 and the feeding pipe 501, so as to intercept the shells inside the feeding pipe 501.

[0051] When the water pump 506 is started, the water pump 506 draws water from the connection point of the connecting pipe 504 and the material lifting pipe 501 through the main water suction pipe 508 and the branch water suction pipe 509, prompting the water inside the sedimentation barrel 406 and the fixed barrel 401 to flow through the connecting pipe 504 to the connection point of the connecting pipe 504 and the material lifting pipe 501, and the water drawn by the water pump 506 is injected into the interior of the sedimentation barrel 406 and the fixed barrel 401 in a tangential direction through the main water outlet pipe 507 and the branch water outlet pipe 5010, prompting The water in the sedimentation barrel 406 and the fixed barrel 401 is rotated. At this time, with the cooperation of the blocking net 5011 and the rotating water flow, the shells will accumulate at the connection between the connecting pipe 504 and the sedimentation barrel 406 and the fixed barrel 401, and the accumulated connecting pipe 504 will flow along the water flow to the lifting pipe 501. Through the circulation of water, the shells accumulated in the sedimentation barrel 406 and the shells floating in the fixed barrel 401 are transported to the lifting pipe 501, thereby realizing the classified transportation of the shells.

Figure 7 As shown, the side wall of the net bag 605 is woven from a steel mesh with a high density to prevent the shell from leaking out of the inside of the net bag 605. A valve is also provided under the net bag 605. When the valve on the net bag 605 is opened, the shell inside the net bag 605 can be removed. A soaking bucket 606 is provided inside the box body 601 for holding a solvent containing a material.

After the soaking barrel 606 moves upward, the net bag 605 above it can be inserted into the interior of the soaking barrel 606, so that the shell inside the net bag 605 is immersed in the solvent of the soaking barrel 606. At this time, the filling material will be dissolved in the solvent.

When the sealing cover 6011 moves downward, the sealing cover 6011 will seal the mouth of the net bag 605 directly below. In this way, the net bag 605 is in a closed environment through the cooperation of the sealing barrel 609 and the sealing cover 6011. In this state, the vacuum pump 6013 is started, causing the vacuum pump 6013 to continuously extract the gas inside the net bag 605, thereby performing low-temperature distillation on the shell inside the net bag 605 to retain (precipitate) the material. A collection chamber 6014 is provided inside the box body 601, and a collection barrel 6015 is placed inside the collection chamber 6014 to hold the shell filled with material. Figure 1-5As shown, after the collection bucket 6015 is placed inside the collection chamber 6014, the valve of the net bag 605 located just above the collection chamber 6014 is opened, and the shell inside the net bag 605 will flow into the collection bucket 6015. When the collection bucket 6015 is full, the door 101 on the side wall of the low-temperature box 1 is opened, and the collection bucket 6015 can be taken out from the collection chamber 6014. At this time, after the empty collection bucket 6015 is placed inside the collection chamber 6014 and the door 101 is closed, the collection bucket 6015 can be replaced.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, a pressure sensor 9 is installed on the side wall of the bracket 604 and located at the support net bag 605. The pressure sensor 9 is used to detect the weight of the inner shell of the net bag 605. The controller 10 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 9, the valve on the bucket 602, the valve on the net bag 605, the third motor 604, the fourth motor 607, the fifth motor 6010, the second oil cylinder 6012, the air pump 6013 and the heating pipe 8, prompting the controller 10 to control the pressure sensor 9, the valve on the bucket 602, the valve on the net bag 605, the third motor 604, the fourth motor 607, the fifth motor 6010, the second oil cylinder 6012, the air pump 6013 and the heating pipe 8 to operate;

[0054] like Figure 2-5As shown, after being transported by the transport mechanism 5, the shell with the mouth opened is transported to the inside of the holding barrel 602, and the shell with the mouth opened is collected in the inside of the holding barrel 602. After the controller 10 controls the valve on the discharge port at the lower end of the holding barrel 602 to open, the shell inside the holding barrel 602 will flow into the net bag 605 just below, and the shell flowing into the net bag 605 is weighed by the pressure sensor 9 to obtain the initial weight D of the shell in the net bag 605. When the shell flowing into the net bag 605 reaches a certain amount, the controller 10 controls the valve on the holding barrel 602 to close, and the controller 10 controls the third motor 604 to start. At this time, the third motor 604 drives the turntable 603 to rotate, and at this time the turntable 603 drives the net bag containing the shell. The bag 605 rotates to the top of the soaking barrel 606. At this time, the controller 10 controls the fourth motor 607 to start, prompting the soaking barrel 606 to move upward, so that the net bag 605 will be sleeved inside the soaking barrel 606. At this time, the shell inside the net bag 605 will be immersed in the solvent. At this time, the material will be filled into the shell along with the solvent. After soaking for a period of time, the controller 10 controls the fourth motor 607 to move the soaking barrel 606 downward and reset. Then the controller 10 controls the third motor 604 to start and drive the turntable 603 to rotate. At this time, the net bag 605 containing the soaked shell will rotate to the top of the sealing barrel 609. At this time, the controller 10 controls the fifth motor 6010 and the second oil cylinder 6012 to start, prompting the sealing barrel 60 9 moves upward, covers the net bag 605, and the sealing cover 6011 moves downward to cover the mouth of the net bag 605. At this time, with the cooperation of the sealing cover 6011 and the sealing barrel 609, the net bag 605 can be sealed. In this state, the controller 10 controls the vacuum pump 6013 to start, causing the vacuum pump 6013 to continuously extract the gas inside the net bag 605, thereby performing low-temperature distillation on the shell inside the net bag 605. After a period of low-temperature distillation, the controller 10 controls the vacuum pump 6013 to turn off, and then the controller 10 controls the fifth motor 6010 and the second oil cylinder 6012 to start, prompting the sealing barrel 609 to move downward and reset, and the sealing cover 6011 to slide upward and reset. At this time, the controller 10 controls the third motor 604 again. After starting, the turntable 603 rotates, causing the low-temperature distilled shell to be rotated to the top of the collection chamber 6014, and then the controller 10 controls the pressure sensor 9 to weigh the low-temperature distilled shell in the net bag 605 again, and obtains the weight D1 of the distilled shell in the net bag 605. Then the controller 10 compares the weight D with the weight D1, so that the controller 10 can know the amount of material entering the shell. When the amount of material entering the shell meets the standard, the controller 10 controls the valve on the net bag 605 to open. At this time, the low-temperature distilled shell flows into the interior of the collection barrel 6015, and the operation of filling the shell with material is completed. When the amount of material entering the shell does not meet the standard, the controller 10 controls the third motor 604 to run.The turntable 603 with the net bag 605 is reset to the bottom of the storage barrel 602. At this time, the valve on the storage barrel 602 is not opened. Then, according to the above operation, the shell in the net bag 605 is soaked and low-temperature distilled again until it meets the standard.

[0055] like Figure 2-5 As shown, in order to be able to deform and reset the slow-release shell and promote the closure of the mouth of the slow-release shell, specifically, heaters 7 are fixedly installed on both side walls of the collection chamber 6014, and the heater 7 is provided with a heating tube 8, and the heating tube 8 is fixedly attached to the side wall of the collection chamber 6014. After starting the heater 7, the heating tube 8 will heat the collection chamber 6014, causing the temperature inside the collection chamber 6014 to rise. When the filling material inside the net bag 605 meets the standard, the net bag 605 is rotated to the top of the collection chamber 6014, and then the valve on the discharge port at the lower end of the net bag 605 is opened. At this time, the inner shell of the net bag 605 flows into the interior of the collection barrel 6015, so that the shell inside the collection barrel 6015 is in a high-temperature environment, causing the mouth of the shell to deform and close due to heat, so that the material can be sealed inside the shell.
