Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0010] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0011] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0012] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The multi-station sorting device comprises a cabinet 1 and a tunnel furnace outlet conveyor 2 located on one side of the cabinet 1. A material straightening device 3 based on visual detection is arranged on the side of the top of the cabinet 1 close to the tunnel furnace outlet conveyor 2. A bidirectional moving mechanism 4 is arranged on the top of the cabinet 1. The bidirectional moving mechanism 4 is located on the side of the material straightening device 3 based on visual detection away from the tunnel furnace outlet conveyor 2. A support frame 5 located above the bidirectional moving mechanism 4 is installed on the top of the cabinet 1. A plurality of mechanical material taking mechanisms 6 are installed on the bottom of the support frame 5. A plurality of mechanical material taking mechanisms 6 are installed on the top of the cabinet 1. The material carrying device 7 on the side; after the material is output from the tunnel furnace, it is transported by the tunnel furnace outlet conveyor 2 to the material straightening device 3 based on visual detection, and then straightened by the material straightening device 3 based on visual detection and transported to the two-way moving mechanism 4. The two-way moving mechanism 4 performs two-way transport on the material so that the material can be dispersedly transported to several mechanical material taking mechanisms 6. Several mechanical material taking mechanisms 6 sort the material and stack it on several material carrying devices 7 respectively, so as to realize automatic sorting of multiple stations. Through the parallel operation of multiple stations, the sorting processing capacity per unit time is significantly improved, and the production cycle is effectively shortened.

[0013] Example 2 further optimizes the multi-station sorting device provided in Example 1. Specifically, Figure 2-Figure 5As shown, the material straightening device 3 based on visual inspection includes two first gear boxes 301 installed on the top of the cabinet 1, a second mounting frame 307 is installed between the tops of the two first gear boxes 301, a linear module 308 is installed on the top of the second mounting frame 307, and a visual inspection camera body 309 is installed on the top of the linear module 308. The first gear box 301 can support the second mounting frame 307. The visual inspection camera plays a vital role and is widely used in multiple links such as product quality control, material identification, positioning guidance, etc., which greatly improves production efficiency and accuracy. However, the transmission Most conventional visual inspection systems adopt a fixed installation method, that is, once the camera is installed on the production line, its position and viewing angle are relatively fixed, and it is difficult to adjust according to actual needs. The camera in a fixed position may not be able to capture the best viewing angle, thereby affecting the detection accuracy and reliability. In this application, the visual inspection camera body 309 is set on the linear module 308, and the linear module 308 can drive the visual inspection camera body 309 to move horizontally, so as to adjust the horizontal position of the visual inspection camera body 309 according to the visual situation of the inspection object, thereby improving the detection accuracy and efficiency, and the adjustment is convenient, which greatly simplifies the operation process; A plurality of first conveying rollers 304 are rotatably connected between the two first gear boxes 301 via bearings. The first conveying rollers 304 are used to support and convey materials.

[0014] Furthermore, a first motor 302 is installed at the bottom of the first gear box 301, and the output shaft of the first motor 302 and the ends of the plurality of first conveying rollers 304 are connected to the first transmission wheel 303, and the plurality of first transmission wheels 303 are rotatably connected with a first transmission belt, and the first motor 302 can drive the plurality of first conveying rollers 304 to rotate synchronously through the first transmission wheel 303 and the first transmission belt to realize the conveying of materials; A first reinforcement rod 319 is fixedly connected between the two first gear boxes 301 , and the first reinforcement rod 319 is used to reinforce the two first gear boxes 301 to improve the stability between the two first gear boxes 301 ; A first mounting frame 305 is provided on both sides of a plurality of first conveying rollers 304. The first mounting frame 305 is installed on the top of the cabinet 1. A first sensor 306 is provided on the first mounting frame 305. The first mounting frame 305 is used to support the first sensor 306. The first sensor 306 is used to check whether the material passes through the first conveying roller 304. A first support rod 310 located below the first conveying roller 304 is fixedly connected between the two first gear boxes 301, two second transmission wheels 312 are arranged on both sides of the first support rod 310, and a second transmission belt 313 is transmission-connected between every two second transmission wheels 312; A second motor 311 is installed on the mutually adjacent sides of the two first gear boxes 301 . The two second motors 311 are respectively connected to two of the second transmission wheels 312 . The second motors 311 can drive the second transmission wheels 312 and the second transmission belt 313 to rotate.

[0015] Furthermore, a positioning member is installed on the top of the first support rod 310, and four connecting frames 316 are installed on the positioning member. The four connecting frames 316 are respectively connected to the two second transmission belts 313. The four connecting frames 316 form a group of two, and the two connecting frames 316 are respectively connected to the upper and lower sides of a second transmission belt 313. This arrangement allows the second transmission belt 313 to drive the two connecting frames 316 connected thereto to move closer to or farther from each other when it rotates. The positioning member includes a guide rail 314 installed on the top of the first support rod 310. The outer surface of the guide rail 314 is slidably connected with four slide seats 315. The four slide seats 315 are respectively connected to four connecting frames 316. The guide rail 314 and the slide seats 315 cooperate with each other to support and limit the connecting frames 316, so as to improve the stability of the connecting frames 316 during the movement process. A first cross plate 317 is installed on each of the four connecting frames 316. A plurality of straightening rods 318 are installed on the top of the first cross plate 317. The straightening rods 318 pass through the gap between two adjacent first conveying rollers 304. During the movement of the first sensor 306, the straightening rods 318 can be driven to move through the first cross plate 317. The straightening rods 318 can push the material to be straightened so as to maintain the consistency of material conveying.

[0016] When using, Figure 1 The point D in the middle is marked as a plate-like material. When the plate-like material reaches the first conveying roller 304, the first conveying roller 304 rotates under the drive of the first motor 302 to convey the plate-like material. The visual detection camera body 309 detects whether the plate-like material is aligned. If aligned, it is directly conveyed away by the first conveying roller 304.

The connecting frame 316 drives the alignment rod 318 to move through the first cross plate 317, and the plate-like material is pushed and aligned by the alignment rod 318. The aligned material is conveyed by the first conveying roller 304 to the two-way moving mechanism 4.

[0017] Embodiment 3 further optimizes the multi-station sorting device provided in Embodiment 1 or 2. Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 6-Figure 9As shown, the bidirectional moving mechanism 4 includes a first support seat 402 and two second gear boxes 401 installed on the top of the cabinet 1, and a plurality of second conveying rollers 403 are connected between the second gear box 401 and the first support seat 402 through bearings, and a transverse movement component located below the second conveying roller 403 is provided on the side where the two second gear boxes 401 are close to each other. Traditional material sorting often relies on a single conveyor belt to transport materials. These methods may have the problem of insufficient flexibility when dealing with multi-directional and multi-position material sorting tasks, especially when facing materials that need to frequently change the conveying direction. The single-direction conveying mechanism is difficult to meet the needs of fast and flexible sorting. The present application sets a bidirectional moving mechanism 4, and the conveying direction of the second conveying roller 403 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transverse movement component, so that the present application can move the material to the target position in two directions, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the sorting operation; The second conveying roller 403 and the transverse shifting assembly are both used for conveying plate-shaped products, and the conveying direction of the second conveying roller 403 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transverse shifting assembly; The transverse moving assembly includes a plurality of second transverse plates 407, two driven wheels 408 are installed at both ends of the second transverse plates 407, a conveyor belt body 409 is drivingly connected between the four driven wheels 408, the conveyor belt body 409 is located at the gap between two adjacent second conveying rollers 403, and the conveyor belt body 409 can be supported by the second transverse plates 407 and the driven wheels 408. The conveying direction of the conveyor belt body 409 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying rollers 403, thereby realizing the horizontal conveying of materials in two directions; The bottom of the plurality of second transverse plates 407 is fixedly mounted with a first mounting plate 410, and the side of the plurality of first mounting plates 410 is provided with a driving wheel 412, the driving wheel 412 is transmission-connected with the conveyor belt body 409, and the first mounting plate 410 can carry the driving wheel 412; A second mounting plate 417 is fixedly connected between the two second gear boxes 401 , and the second mounting plate 417 is mounted on the top of the cabinet 1 ; A fourth motor 413 is installed on the side of the second mounting plate 417. The output shaft of the fourth motor 413 is connected to a transmission shaft 411. One end of the transmission shaft 411 passes through a plurality of driving wheels 412 in sequence. The fourth motor 413 can drive the plurality of driving wheels 412 to rotate synchronously through the transmission shaft 411, thereby driving the conveyor belt body 409 to rotate synchronously.

[0018] Further, if a third transverse plate 414 is fixedly connected between the bottoms of the second transverse plates 407, a first cylinder 415 is provided at the bottom of the third transverse plate 414, and the first cylinder 415 is installed on the cabinet 1, the first cylinder 415 can drive a plurality of second transverse plates 407 to rise and fall synchronously through the third transverse plate 414, so that after the second transverse plate 407 rises, the top surface of the conveyor belt body 409 is higher than the second conveyor roller 403, so that the conveyor belt body 409 is used to convey materials, and after the conveyor belt body 409 is lowered, the second conveyor roller 403 contacts with the materials, so that the second conveyor roller 403 is used to convey materials; A first limiting rod 416 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the third transverse plate 414. The bottom end of the first limiting rod 416 passes through the cabinet 1. The first limiting rod 416 can limit the lifting of the third transverse plate 414 to improve the lifting stability of the third transverse plate 414. A third motor 404 is installed at the bottom of the two second gear boxes 401, and a third transmission wheel 405 is connected between the output shaft of the third motor 404 and the bottom ends of the plurality of second conveying rollers 403. A third transmission belt is connected between the plurality of third transmission wheels 405, and the third motor 404 can drive the plurality of second conveying rollers 403 to rotate synchronously through the third transmission wheel 405 and the third transmission belt. A second reinforcing rod 406 is fixedly connected between the second gear box 401 and the first support seat 402 . The second reinforcing rod 406 is used to reinforce the first support seat 402 and the second gear box 401 to improve the stability between the second gear box 401 and the first support seat 402 .

[0019] When in use, the material reaches the side of the second conveying roller 403 close to the first support seat 402 and is moved by the second conveying roller 403. When the material reaches between the middle parts of several second conveying rollers 403, the first cylinder 415 pushes the third cross plate 414 to rise and contact the material. The fourth motor 413 drives the driving wheel 412 to rotate through the transmission shaft 411, and the driving wheel 412 drives the conveyor belt body 409 to rotate, so that the material is transported in the direction close to the second gear box 401.

[0020] Embodiment 4: The multi-station sorting device provided in the above embodiments is further optimized, such as Figure 2 , Figure 10-13 As shown, the mechanical material taking mechanism 6 includes a support portion arranged on the support frame 5, the support portion is connected to a driving portion, the driving portion is connected to a first connecting plate 610, third supporting rods 611 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the first connecting plate 610, a limiting slide groove 612 is provided on the third supporting rod 611, and a plurality of vacuum suction cup bodies 617 are movably arranged between the limiting slide groove 612 and the third supporting rod 611; In modern automated production lines, material handling and positioning are key links in the production process. Traditional material handling methods, such as manual handling or using a fixed-position robotic arm, have problems such as low efficiency, poor flexibility, and possible damage to the material surface. In order to solve these problems, automated material-picking mechanisms based on vacuum suction cups have gradually been widely used; vacuum suction cups absorb materials by generating negative pressure, and have the advantages of non-contact, strong adaptability, and little damage to the material surface. However, in existing automated material-picking mechanisms based on vacuum suction cups, the fixed position of the vacuum suction cups has become a significant defect. Specifically: in traditional vacuum suction cup material-picking mechanisms, the position of the suction cups is often fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the shape and size of the materials. When the shape of the materials changes, the material-picking mechanism may not be able to accurately absorb the materials, thereby reducing production efficiency and accuracy; and the present application, by setting a movable vacuum suction cup body 617, can be adjusted according to the shape of the material to meet the use requirements of materials of different shapes and sizes, thereby improving the practicality of the present application; A connecting piece is provided between the vacuum suction cup body 617 and the limiting slide groove 612, and the connecting piece is used to realize the connection between the vacuum suction cup body 617 and the limiting slide groove 612; The connecting member includes a limiting slider 618 slidably connected in the limiting slide groove 612, and a fastening bolt 614 is threadedly connected to the limiting slider 618. A second connecting plate 615 is connected between the fastening bolt 614 and the vacuum suction cup body 617. After loosening the fastening bolt 614, the second connecting plate 615 can be pushed horizontally to adjust the horizontal position and angle of the fourth transmission belt 607. After tightening the fastening bolt 614, the second connecting plate 615 can be clamped and fixed through the limiting slide groove 612 and the limiting slider 618, thereby fixing the position and angle of the vacuum suction cup body 617. The second connecting plate 615 is provided with an elongated opening 616 , through which the fastening bolt 614 passes. The elongated opening 616 can facilitate adjustment of the distance between the vacuum chuck body 617 and the elongated opening 616 .

[0021] Further, the driving part includes a driving member installed on the supporting part, the driving member is connected to the second supporting plate 605, the second supporting plate 605 is connected to the second cylinder 609, the second cylinder 609 is connected to the top of the first connecting plate 610, and the second cylinder 609 can drive the third supporting rod 611 to rise and fall through the first connecting plate 610, thereby driving the vacuum suction cup body 617 to rise and fall; The driving member includes a fourth transmission wheel 606 mounted on two supporting parts, a fourth transmission belt 607 is connected between the two fourth transmission wheels 606, one side of the fourth transmission belt 607 is connected to the second support plate 605, and the fourth transmission belt 607 can drive the second support plate 605 to move during rotation; A fifth motor 608 is installed on the support portion, and the output shaft of the fifth motor 608 is connected to one of the fourth transmission wheels 606, so that the fourth transmission wheel 606 and the fourth transmission belt 607 can be driven to rotate by the fifth motor 608; The support portion includes a first support plate 601, and the fifth motor 608 and the fourth transmission wheel 606 are both mounted on the first support plate 601, and the first support plate 601 provides support for the fifth motor 608 and the fourth transmission wheel 606; Second support seats 602 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the first support plate 601, and multiple second support rods 603 are fixedly connected between the two second support seats 602. The outer surface of the second support rod 603 is slidingly sleeved with a sliding sleeve 604, and the sliding sleeve 604 is connected to the top of the second support plate 605. The second support seat 602 can support the second support rod 603, and the second support rod 603 can support the second support plate 605 through the sliding sleeve 604.

[0022] A third mounting plate 619 is installed on the top of the first supporting plate 601 . The third mounting plate 619 is used for mounting the first supporting plate 601 . The third mounting plate 619 is installed on the supporting frame 5 .

[0023] When in use, the fourth transmission wheel 606 and the fourth transmission belt 607 are driven to rotate by the fifth motor 608. During the rotation of the fourth transmission belt 607, the second support plate 605 is driven to move horizontally to move the vacuum suction cup body 617 to the target area. When the vacuum suction cup body 617 reaches the target area, the second cylinder 609 pushes the first connecting plate 610, the third support rod 611 and the vacuum suction cup body 617 to descend, so that the elongated mouth 616 contacts and adsorbs the material, and then the second cylinder 609 drives the vacuum suction cup body 617 and the material to rise through the first connecting plate 610 and the third support rod 611, and then the fourth transmission belt 607 rotates so that the vacuum suction cup body 617 places the material on the material carrying device 7.

A fourth limiting rod 711 is detachably provided on the top of the bottom plate 701, and the outer surface of the fourth limiting rod 711 passes through the notch 710. Most of the traditional material carrying equipment adopts a fixed design, which is difficult to adapt to plate materials of different sizes, resulting in the need to replace the carrying tool during the material collection process, which is inefficient. In addition, the lack of an effective limiting mechanism can easily cause the material to slide or tilt during transportation, thereby affecting the subsequent processing of the material; the present application can carry the material by setting the lifting plate 708, so that the material is stacked on the top of the lifting plate 708, and the material can be limited by the fourth limiting rod 711 to reduce the sliding or tilting of the material.
