[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an asphalt shingle separation and sorting device, characterized in that it includes a separation mechanism, a stacking mechanism, a box-type sorting mechanism, and an output mechanism; The asphalt shingles enter from the inlet end of the separation mechanism, and a stacking mechanism is provided at the outlet end of the separation mechanism. A box-type sorting mechanism is provided at the end of the stacking mechanism away from the separation mechanism, and the outlet end of the box-type sorting mechanism is connected to the output mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the separation mechanism includes a pre-separation structure and upper and lower separation structures; The pre-separation structure has four channels, and multiple primary pressure rollers are installed above the channels; the outlet of the pre-separation structure is connected to the upper and lower separation structures. The outlet of the upper and lower separation structure is connected to the palletizing mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the pre-separation structure includes a long plate support, a conveyor belt, and multiple primary pressure rollers; The long plate support is equipped with four conveyor belts, which are driven by a motor fixed below the long plate support. The long plate support is provided with a crossbeam in the middle, and multiple primary pressure rollers are evenly arranged on the crossbeam. One end of the primary pressure roller is fixed to the crossbeam, and a roller is provided at the bottom end. It is placed on the channel, and the middle part is rod-shaped and arc-shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper and lower separation structure includes multiple fixed rollers, multiple adjustable pressure rollers, an upper separation channel, a lower separation channel, and a separation bracket; The separation bracket is provided with an upper separation channel and a lower separation channel in an alternating manner, and a fixed roller is provided at the front end, middle and end of the upper separation channel respectively; The inclination of the upper separation channel can be adjusted according to the internal support rod of the separation bracket; The height of the external support rods of the separation bracket increases sequentially, and a crossbeam is set on two opposing support rods of equal height; multiple adjustable pressure rollers are evenly arranged along each crossbeam. The adjustable pressure roller is located directly above the corresponding fixed roller.

[0010] Furthermore, the palletizing mechanism includes a channel structure and a roller structure; The channel structure is connected to the separation mechanism at the corresponding position, and a roller structure is provided at the outlet of the channel structure; Both the channel structure and the roller structure rotate via a transmission belt structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the channel structure includes an upper channel and a lower channel; The upper channel is connected to the upper separation channel in the separation mechanism, and the upper channel has 4 channels; the lower channel is connected to the lower separation channel in the separation mechanism, and the lower channel has 3 channels. The upper channel has a roller structure at its outlet end; the lower channel has a roller structure at its outlet end.

[0012] Furthermore, the roller structure includes an upper roller and a lower roller; the upper roller and the lower roller are arranged overlappingly to form an acceleration roller.

[0013] Furthermore, the box-type sorting mechanism includes a chassis, a front baffle, a middle baffle, a left baffle, a right baffle, a left rear baffle, and a right rear baffle; The output end of the chassis is provided with a front baffle, and the input end of the chassis is provided with a left rear baffle, a middle baffle and a right rear baffle in sequence.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0020] It should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "left" and "right" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the invention is usually placed during use, or the orientation or positional relationship in which those skilled in the art would conventionally understand it. Such terms are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the asphalt shingle separation and sorting device proposed in this embodiment includes a separation mechanism 1, a stacking mechanism 2, a box-type sorting mechanism 3, and an output mechanism 4; Asphalt shingles enter from the inlet end of the separation mechanism 1. A stacking mechanism 2 is provided at the outlet end of the separation mechanism 1. A box-type sorting mechanism 3 is provided at the end of the stacking mechanism 2 away from the separation mechanism 1. The outlet end of the box-type sorting mechanism 4 is connected to the output mechanism 4.

[0023] During operation, asphalt shingles connected together enter from the inlet end of the separation mechanism 1. The separation mechanism 1 separates the asphalt shingles into pieces. The separated asphalt shingles enter the stacking mechanism 2 to be separated and sorted again. The asphalt shingles that have been separated again enter the box-type sorting mechanism 3 to be sorted and separated, and finally transferred to the output mechanism 4 for stacking.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the separation mechanism 1 includes a pre-separation structure 11 and an upper and lower separation structure 12; The pre-separation structure 12 has four channels, and multiple primary pressure rollers 113 are provided above the channels; the outlet of the pre-separation structure 11 is connected to the upper and lower separation structure 12; the outlet of the upper and lower separation structure 12 is connected to the palletizing mechanism 2.

[0025] The pre-separation structure 11 includes a long plate support 111, a conveyor belt 112, and multiple primary pressure rollers 113; The long plate support 111 is equipped with four conveyor belts 112, which are driven by a motor fixed below the long plate support 111; the long plate support 111 is equipped with a crossbeam in the middle, and multiple primary pressure rollers 113 are evenly arranged on the crossbeam. One end of the primary pressure roller 113 is fixed to the crossbeam, and a roller is provided at the bottom end. It is placed on the channel, and the middle part is rod-shaped and arc-shaped.

[0026] During operation, the asphalt shingles connected in sheets are subjected to pressure from the primary pressure roller 113 above on the transmission belt 112 of the long plate support 111, causing the parts of the asphalt shingles that are stuck together to separate. The partially separated asphalt shingles enter the upper and lower separation structure 12, through which the asphalt shingles are separated into the upper and lower channels, and the two adjacent connected asphalt shingles are separated again.

[0027] This invention preferentially uses four transmission belts 112 to form four channels, creating a four-channel separation path. By combining the four channels, various types of asphalt shingles can be separated. Furthermore, this invention performs two separations on the asphalt shingles. The first part, the pre-separation structure 11, pre-separates the asphalt shingles along the channel direction. The second part, the upper and lower separation structures 12, performs further channel separation and separation between adjacent asphalt shingles. The pre-separation design can improve the efficiency of asphalt shingle separation.

[0028] The upper and lower separation structure 12 includes multiple fixed rollers 121, multiple adjustable pressure rollers 122, an upper separation channel 123, a lower separation channel 124, and a separation bracket 125. The upper separation channel 123 and the lower separation channel 124 are staggered on the separation bracket 125. A fixed roller 121 is set at the front end, middle, and end of the upper separation channel 123. The upper separation channel 123 can be tilted according to the internal support rod of the separation bracket 125. The height of the external support rods of the separation bracket 125 increases sequentially, and a crossbeam is set on two opposing support rods of equal height. Multiple adjustable pressure rollers 122 are evenly arranged along each crossbeam. The adjustable pressure rollers 122 are located directly above the corresponding fixed rollers 121.

[0029] During operation, asphalt shingles enter the upper separation channel 123 and the lower separation channel 124 according to their different shapes. The upper separation channel 123 can be adjusted in tilt angle to raise the channel and achieve vertical separation of the asphalt shingles. After entering the channel, the fixed roller 121 is responsible for conveying the asphalt shingles, while the adjustable pressure roller 122 above applies downward pressure to separate adjacent asphalt shingles. The adjustable pressure roller 122 is connected to a cylinder, which adjusts the pressure of the adjustable pressure roller 122 to accommodate asphalt shingles of different thicknesses, ensuring that various types of asphalt shingles can be effectively separated. Through the upper and lower walkways, asphalt shingles of the same shape are transported to the same channel by the fixed roller 122 for subsequent sorting and stacking.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the palletizing mechanism 2 includes a channel structure 21 and a roller structure 22; The channel structure 21 is connected to the separation mechanism 1 at the corresponding position, and a roller structure 22 is provided at the outlet of the channel structure 21; both the channel structure 21 and the roller structure 22 rotate through a transmission belt structure.

[0031] The channel structure 21 includes an upper channel 211 and a lower channel 212; the upper channel 211 is connected to the upper separation channel 123 in the separation mechanism 1, and the upper channel 211 has 4 channels; the lower channel 212 is connected to the lower separation channel 124 in the separation mechanism 1, and the lower channel 212 has 3 channels. The upper channel 211 has a roller structure 22 at its outlet end; the lower channel has a roller structure 22 at its outlet end.

[0032] The roller structure 22 includes an upper roller 221 and a lower roller 222; the upper roller 221 is the driving member and the lower roller 222 is the driven member, and the rotation of the upper roller drives the rotation of the lower roller; the upper roller 221 and the lower roller 222 are arranged to overlap to form an acceleration roller.

[0033] Gears are installed on the support rods of the channel structure, and belts are fitted on the upper roller 221 of the roller structure 22. The other end of the belt is connected to the gears on the support rods, and the gears are driven by the bottom drive motor. Another belt is fitted on the other end of the upper roller 221 of the roller structure 22, and the other end of the belt is fitted on the upper roller of the roller structure 22. During operation, the drive motor drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the belt to rotate, thereby rotating the upper roller 221 of the roller structure B22, which in turn drives the lower roller 222 to rotate. At the same time, the belt at the other end of the upper roller 221 also rotates, thereby rotating the upper roller 221 of the roller structure 22, which in turn drives the lower roller 222 to rotate. The roller structure 22 formed by the upper roller 221 and the lower roller 222 is an acceleration roller. When the asphalt shingles pass through the two upper and lower acceleration rollers, the acceleration is used to float the asphalt shingles onto the box-type sorting mechanism 3. The acceleration rollers give the asphalt shingles a certain acceleration so that they can float onto the box-type sorting mechanism 3.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the box-type sorting mechanism 3 includes a chassis 31, a front baffle 32, a middle baffle 33, a left baffle 34, a right baffle 35, a left rear baffle 36, and a right rear baffle 37. The output end of the chassis 31 is vertically provided with a front baffle 32; the input end of the chassis 31 is provided with a left rear baffle 36, a middle baffle 33 and a right rear baffle 37 in sequence. The middle baffle 33 is horizontally provided on the tray of the chassis 31, and the left rear baffle 36 and the right rear baffle 37 are both vertically provided on the tray of the chassis 31; the two sides of the chassis 31 are respectively provided with a left baffle 34 and a right baffle 35 vertically. The chassis 31 is equipped with a pulley structure, which includes pulleys, a servo motor and a lead screw. The servo motor drives the sliding and lead screw to rotate. The lead screw adjusts the vertical position of the front baffle 32, the middle baffle 33, the left baffle 34 and the right baffle 35. The pulley structure adjusts the horizontal position of the left rear baffle 36 and the right rear baffle 37.

[0035] During normal operation, the servo motor in chassis 31 controls the left baffle 34 and right baffle 35 to push the asphalt shingles towards the middle baffle 33. The middle baffle 33 is lifted upward by the pulley to prevent the asphalt shingles on both sides from overlapping. At the same time, the servo motor pushes the asphalt shingles towards the front baffle 32 through the screw rotation, waiting for the subsequent asphalt shingles to enter the box-type sorting mechanism 3 and be neatly arranged. After the asphalt shingles are neatly arranged, the servo motor in chassis 31 controls the gears in chassis 31 to control the front baffle 32 to fall down and continue to push the asphalt shingles forward into the output mechanism 4. This completes the sorting of the asphalt shingles and ensures the sorting and arrangement of subsequent asphalt shingles.

[0036] When encountering two asphalt shingles of different shapes and sizes, the lifting and lowering adjustment of the middle baffle 33 can effectively prevent the asphalt shingles of different shapes from being mixed. At the same time, the lifting and lowering adjustment of the front baffle 32 can be used for asphalt shingles of different shapes and thicknesses, so that two kinds of asphalt shingles can be sorted at the same time, improving the sorting and stacking efficiency.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the output mechanism 4 includes multiple conveyor frames 41, which are arranged and installed in descending order of height.

[0038] In operation, asphalt shingles connected in sheets enter through the separation mechanism 1 and exit through the output mechanism 4. Individual separation is achieved in the separation mechanism 1, while channel separation and arrangement are carried out in the stacking mechanism 2 and the box-type sorting mechanism 3. Finally, the sheets are stacked and arranged in the output mechanism 4. This invention improves the asphalt shingle separation efficiency through four channels, and the adjustable pressure roller 123 is suitable for separating asphalt shingles of different thicknesses. Simultaneously, the stacking mechanism 3 and the box-type sorting mechanism 3 further separate and arrange the asphalt shingles during transport. The stacking mechanism 3 mainly separates the upper and lower channels, while the box-type sorting mechanism 3 neatly arranges the separated asphalt shingles.

[0039] The above embodiments only illustrate preferred implementation methods, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of this invention.
