To facilitate the processing and packaging of hardware parts, it is necessary to screen and sort hardware parts of different specifications and sizes. In order to screen hardware parts of different specifications and to replace and maintain the sorting mechanism, the sorting head needs to be disassembled and replaced regularly. Currently, the replacement mainly relies on manual operation, which requires the equipment to be shut down for maintenance, greatly reducing production efficiency. Moreover, the entire replacement process is cumbersome and the maintenance cycle is long. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem that this invention aims to solve is that current replacement mainly relies on manual operation, which requires equipment shutdown for maintenance, greatly reducing production efficiency. Moreover, the entire replacement process is cumbersome and has a long maintenance cycle.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a sorting head quick-change device for a standard hardware sorter, including a sorter main frame and an electrically controlled conveyor belt installed on the sorter main frame. A horizontal assembly frame is installed inside the sorter main frame above the electrically controlled conveyor belt. An electrically controlled translation control module and a strip sorting head controlled by the electrically controlled translation module are slidably assembled inside the horizontal assembly frame. An external guide frame connected to the horizontal assembly frame is fixedly assembled on the outer side of the sorter main frame. An electrically controlled external quick-change mechanism is installed on the outer side of the sorter main frame outside the external guide frame.

[0005] The electrically controlled translation module includes a horizontally mounted electric control screw mounted on a horizontally mounted assembly frame via mounting brackets on both sides, a translation control seat mounted on the horizontally mounted electric control screw via a top internal threaded tube, and a lateral linkage arm fixed to the side wall of the translation control seat.

[0006] The electronically controlled external quick-change mechanism includes a fan-shaped support base fixed on the outer side of the sorter's main frame, an arc-shaped guide rail fixed on the upper surface of the fan-shaped support base, and a fan-shaped external storage box mounted on the arc-shaped guide rail via a bottom assembly block.

[0007] The side wall of the strip sorting head is provided with a lateral linkage groove that cooperates with the lateral linkage arm.

[0008] The outer arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped guide rail has an arc-shaped toothed surface, and a side-mounted drive motor is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the fan-shaped outer storage box. The side-mounted drive motor is driven by the drive gear on the bottom drive shaft meshing with the arc-shaped toothed surface.

[0009] The fan-shaped external storage box has a plurality of strip-shaped storage grooves with openings at the top, and the upper end of the fan-shaped external storage box is equipped with an upper closing cover for closing the openings at the top of the strip-shaped storage grooves.

[0010] The strip-shaped storage groove has a loading and unloading port on one side near the external guide frame, and an embedded electronically controlled extruder is installed on the other side of the strip-shaped storage groove.

[0011] An infrared positioning module is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the fan-shaped external storage box below the loading and unloading port of the strip-shaped storage groove, and a reflective positioning plate that cooperates with the infrared positioning module is fixed on the lower surface of the external guide frame.

[0012] The telescopic section of the embedded electronically controlled extruder is axially fixed with an electromagnetic adsorption head that cooperates with the strip sorting head.

[0013] An electrically controlled auxiliary closing plate is movably mounted on the side wall of the translation control seat.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0015] (1) The sorting head quick change device for standard hardware sorter of the present invention adopts a fully automatic method to replace the strip sorting head, without manual operation and machine downtime, which greatly improves the operating efficiency.

[0016] (2) The side-mounted layout design does not occupy the internal space of the equipment, and the electric quick-change mechanism is set by external flipping, which can reduce the external space occupation in the idle state.

[0017] (3) By using a translation control seat to drive the strip sorting head to translate and adjust, the conveying space can be closed during replacement to avoid missed inspections.

[0018] (4) The angle is automatically controlled by infrared positioning to improve positioning accuracy;

[0019] (5) The external pre-placement of strip sorting heads is adopted. People only need to replace the strip sorting heads of different models and specifications on the outside in advance. The modular assembly method does not affect the normal operation of the equipment and is more convenient to use.

[0020] (6) The lateral linkage arm on the side wall of the horizontal assembly frame and the translation control seat can improve the assembly stability and firmness of the strip sorting head. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0026] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sorting head quick-change device shown for a standard hardware sorter includes a sorter main frame 1 and an electrically controlled conveyor belt 2 mounted on the sorter main frame 1. A horizontal assembly frame 3 is installed inside the sorter main frame 1 above the electrically controlled conveyor belt 2. An electrically controlled translation control module 4 and a strip sorting head 5 controlled by the electrically controlled translation module 4 are slidably assembled inside the horizontal assembly frame 3. An external guide frame 6 connected to the horizontal assembly frame 3 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the sorter main frame 1. An electrically controlled external quick-change mechanism 7 is installed on the outer side of the sorter main frame 1 around the external guide frame 6.

[0028] The electrically controlled conveyor belt 2 is an existing technology. It drives the hardware parts to be conveyed, and then the strip sorting head 5 is used to sort the hardware parts during the conveying process. The horizontal assembly frame 3 can form an upward support on both sides of the strip sorting head 5 controlled by the electrically controlled translation module 4 to ensure the stability of the downward support on both sides.

[0029] To facilitate horizontal adjustment, the electrically controlled translation module 4 includes a horizontally mounted electric control screw 41 mounted on the horizontally mounted assembly frame 3 via mounting brackets on both sides, a translation control seat 43 sleeved on the horizontally mounted electric control screw 41 via a top internal threaded tube 42, and a lateral linkage arm 44 fixed on the side wall of the translation control seat 43.

[0030] The horizontally placed electric control screw 41 is existing technology. It consists of a horizontally placed screw and an adjusting motor installed on one side of the horizontally placed screw. The adjusting motor drives the horizontally placed screw to rotate, thereby driving the top internal thread tube 42 to move along the horizontally placed screw.

[0031] To facilitate lateral assembly and storage, the electrically controlled external quick-change mechanism 7 includes a fan-shaped support base 71 fixed on the outer side of the sorter main frame 1, an arc-shaped guide rail 72 fixed on the upper surface of the fan-shaped support base 71, and a fan-shaped external storage box 73 mounted on the arc-shaped guide rail 72 via a bottom assembly block.

[0032] In order to coordinate with the linkage control and not affect the separation, a side linkage groove 51 is provided on the side wall of the strip sorting head 5 to cooperate with the side linkage arm 44.

[0033] The opening of the lateral linkage groove 51 faces upward, and the lateral linkage arm 44 has an inverted L-shaped structure, which can limit the downward movement of the strip sorting head 5, thereby ensuring the stability and limiting of the strip sorting head 5 in the assembly head.

[0034] To facilitate drive adjustment, the outer arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped guide rail 72 has an arc-shaped toothed surface, and a side-mounted drive motor 74 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the fan-shaped outer storage box 73. The side-mounted drive motor 74 is driven by the drive gear 75 on the bottom drive shaft meshing with the arc-shaped toothed surface.

[0035] The side-mounted drive motor 74 is existing technology. It rotates to drive the fan-shaped external storage box 73 to run along the arc-shaped guide rail 72, thereby controlling the internal strip sorting heads 5 of different specifications to align with the external guide frame 6.

[0036] To facilitate lateral storage and sealing, the fan-shaped external storage box 73 has multiple strip-shaped storage grooves 76 with openings at the top, and the upper end of the fan-shaped external storage box 73 is equipped with an upper closing cover 77 for closing the openings at the top of the strip-shaped storage grooves 76.

[0037] The upper end of the fan-shaped external storage box 73 is equipped with a prior art flip-up support rod for facilitating the closing of the upper closing cover 77. When the upper closing cover 77 needs to be opened for loading and unloading, the flip-up support rod can be extended to control the upper closing cover 77 to flip upward and open. When not in use, the upper closing cover 77 is closed downward to prevent dust from accumulating inside the strip-shaped storage groove 76.

[0038] To facilitate loading and unloading operations, the strip-shaped storage groove 76 has a loading and unloading port on one side near the external guide frame, and an embedded electronically controlled extruder 78 is installed on the other side of the strip-shaped storage groove 76.

[0039] The embedded electronically controlled extruder 78 is existing technology. It extends the strip sorting head 5 inside the strip-shaped storage groove 76 by stretching and compressing it toward the loading and unloading port. This causes the lateral linkage groove 51 at one end of the strip sorting head 5 to extend out of the loading and unloading port. When the fan-shaped outer storage box 73 is running, it will cooperate with the lateral linkage arm 44 and thus assemble with the translation control seat 43. The translation control seat 43 can then drive the strip sorting head 5 from the outer guide frame 6 into the horizontal assembly frame 3. Similarly, the translation control seat 43 can drive the strip sorting head 5 from the horizontal assembly frame 3 into the outer guide frame 6 and then insert it into the inside of the strip-shaped storage groove 76.

[0040] To facilitate positioning, an infrared positioning module 8 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the fan-shaped external storage box 73 below the loading and unloading port of the strip-shaped storage groove 76, and a reflective positioning plate 9 that cooperates with the infrared positioning module is fixed on the lower surface of the external guide frame 6.

[0041] The infrared positioning module 8 is existing technology. It positions objects by emitting infrared rays outward. When the infrared rays hit the reflective positioning plate 9, they are reflected and received by the infrared positioning module 8, completing the positioning operation. Then, the infrared positioning module 8 shuts down the side-mounted drive motor 74. During operation, simply install the strip sorting heads 5 of different specifications and models inside the designated strip storage grooves 76, and then start the infrared positioning module 8 at the set position to accurately complete the positioning operation.

[0042] In order to facilitate the magnetic adsorption and storage of the strip sorting head 5 inserted into the strip storage groove 76, the telescopic section of the embedded electronically controlled extruder 78 is axially fixed with an electromagnetic adsorption head 79 that cooperates with the strip sorting head 5.

[0043] The electromagnetic adsorption head 79 is existing technology. It generates magnetism by energizing the outer end of the strip sorting head 5, thereby magnetically adsorbing it. As it shrinks, it drives the strip sorting head 5 to be completely stored inside the strip storage groove 76, so as not to affect external use and external sealing.

[0044] In order to reduce the lateral space occupancy rate on the outside during idle periods, an electrically controlled auxiliary closing plate 45 is movably mounted on the side wall of the translation control seat 43.

[0045] The electrically controlled auxiliary closing plate 45 includes an external flip closing plate movably connected to the side wall of the translation control base 43 via a bracket, and a lateral electrically controlled flipping support rod movably installed between the translation control base 43 and the external flip closing plate. The lateral electrically controlled flipping support rod is existing technology, which controls the external flip closing plate to flip to one side by retraction control, and adopts a lateral closing design when not in use, and is set horizontally with the outer side of the sorter main frame 1.

[0046] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
