Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of packaging, and in particular to a material sorting device. Background Art

[0002] A tray is a box used for packaging. After the tray is filled with food or other materials and packaged and sealed, the trays that have completed material packaging are sorted or sorted to facilitate the subsequent palletizing of the trays by mechanical claws in the palletizing equipment.

[0003] In the related technology, the material sorting equipment includes a base and a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt is rotatably connected to the base, and a material diverting mechanism is provided on the conveyor belt. The material diverting mechanism includes a moving structure and a material diverting plate. The moving structure is arranged on the base, and the material diverting plate is arranged on the moving structure. The moving structure drives the material diverting plate to move the tray in the conveyor belt into the grabbing range of the mechanical claw in the stacking equipment.

[0004] When the trays are placed on the conveyor belt, there is a gap between two adjacent trays or two adjacent trays conflict with each other. If there is a gap between two adjacent trays, when the trays are placed on the conveyor belt, the number of trays within the moving range of the material shifting plate is difficult to determine, and the material shifting plate may push fewer trays than the stacking number to move during the movement, affecting the normal operation of the subsequent stacking mechanism; if two adjacent trays conflict with each other, the mechanical claws in the stacking mechanism may drive the excess trays to move, resulting in the problem of other trays being moved when the mechanical claws in the stacking mechanism grab them. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the problem that the trays in the conveyor belt may conflict with each other or be difficult to accurately position, the present application provides a material sorting device.

[0006] The present application provides a material sorting device, which adopts the following technical solution: A material sorting equipment comprises a base and a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt is rotatably connected to the base, a limiting mechanism and a material shifting mechanism are provided on the base, the limiting mechanism is used to realize the mutual abutment of the trays, the material shifting mechanism is used to realize the separation of different groups of trays, the material shifting mechanism comprises a pushing structure and a separation structure, the pushing structure comprises a moving assembly and a first pushing member, the first pushing member is arranged on the moving assembly, the moving assembly drives the trays to separate from the conveyor belt through the first pushing member, the separation structure is used to drive different groups of trays to separate, the separation structure comprises a separation rod and a separation driving member, the separation rod is slidably connected to the base, the separation rod is located between two adjacent groups of trays, and the separation driving member drives the separation rod to move.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the tray is limited by the limiting mechanism, so that the tray can stop moving on the conveyor belt, so that subsequent trays can conflict with each other, avoiding the situation where a gap appears between two adjacent trays, so as to facilitate the positioning of the trays; the first pushing member is driven by the moving component to separate the tray from the conveyor belt, and the separation structure separates the trays, so that different groups of trays can be separated, so that the mechanical claws of the subsequent stacking mechanism can grab the trays, so that the trays can be better stacked, and the accuracy of the mechanical claws in the stacking mechanism to grab the trays is improved; the separation rod is located between two adjacent groups of trays, and the separation drive member drives the separation rod to move, so that the separation rod separates the two adjacent groups of trays, so that the two adjacent groups of trays can be separated for the convenience of grabbing by the mechanical claws in the subsequent stacking mechanism.

[0008] Optionally, a separation plate is provided on the separation drive member, and the separation plate moves in a direction in which the tray is separated from the conveyor belt. The separation rod is slidably connected to the separation plate, and the separation rod moves in a transport direction of the conveyor belt.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the separation plate is driven to move by the separation driving member, the separation plate moves in the direction in which the tray is separated from the conveyor belt, and the separation rod moves along the transportation direction of the conveyor belt. When the separation plate moves, the separation plate can drive the separation rod to move, so that the separation rod can separate different groups of trays.

[0010] Optionally, a dovetail hole is formed on the separation plate, a frame is formed on the base, a dovetail bar for passing through the dovetail hole is formed on the frame, and the dovetail bar extends along the transport direction of the conveyor belt.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the separation plate slides on the dovetail bar, and the base can limit the moving direction of the separation plate, thereby increasing the sliding stability of the separation plate, so that the separation plate can stably drive the separation rod to move.

[0012] Optionally, two side panels are provided on the base, and the separation structure is located between the two side panels.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the separation structure is located between the two side plates. When the separation rod drives the tray to move, the tray is limited by the side plates, so that the tray is not easy to move excessively, which makes it difficult for the tray to be positioned by the stacking mechanism.

[0014] Optionally, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting driving member and a rotating bar, and the limiting driving member drives the rotating bar to be inserted between two adjacent trays; when the rotating bar is located between two adjacent trays, the trays are limited from moving along the transport direction of the conveyor belt.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating bar is driven by the limit driving member to be inserted between two adjacent trays, so that the rotating bar can limit the movement of the tray, so that the conveyor belt can no longer drive the tray to move, and the tray is limited to move along the conveyor belt transportation direction.

[0016] Optionally, the limiting mechanism includes a rotating driving member and a rotating roller, the rotating roller abuts against the tray, the rotating driving member is arranged on the base, and the rotating roller is arranged on the rotating driving member; when the rotating roller rotates along the transport direction of the conveyor belt, the tray can move; when the rotating roller stops rotating or rotates in the opposite direction, the tray stops moving.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating roller is driven to rotate along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt by the rotating driving member, and the rotating roller can abut the tray, so that the rotating roller applies a force to the tray along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, so that when the rotating roller rotates, it can drive the tray to move on the conveyor belt, allowing the tray to pass through the conveyor belt smoothly; when the rotating roller does not rotate or the rotating roller is reversed, the rotating roller abuts the tray, making it difficult for the tray to move on the conveyor belt, so that the subsequent tray can abut the tray, so that the subsequent trays can contact each other, so as to facilitate the positioning of the tray.

[0018] Optionally, a stop plate is provided on the base, and the stop plate is located on the moving path of the tray. When the tray abuts against the stop plate, the pushing structure can drive the tray to move.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the stop plate is located on the moving path of the tray, so that the stop plate limits the movement of the tray; when the tray abuts the stop plate, the pushing structure can drive the tray to separate from the conveyor belt, preventing the tray from continuing to move and causing part of the tray to separate from the pushing range of the pushing structure.

[0020] Optionally, a stop bar is slidably connected to the stop plate, an elastic ring is slidably connected to the rotating roller, and a linkage assembly is provided on the rotating roller; when the tray abuts against the stop bar, the stop bar drives the elastic ring to abut against the tray through the linkage assembly, and the tray stops moving at this time.

[0021] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the tray moves on the conveyor belt, the tray can abut against the stop bar, and the stop bar drives the elastic ring to move through the linkage component, so that the elastic ring can protrude from the rotating roller, so that the elastic ring abuts against the tray, and the tray stops moving, thereby preventing the conveyor belt from continuing to drive the tray to move. When the pushing structure moves the tray, subsequent trays are allowed to collide with each other to facilitate the positioning of subsequent trays. When subsequent trays collide with each other, the time for the pushing structure to move the tray can be used to further improve the material sorting speed of the material sorting equipment.

[0022] Optionally, the linkage assembly includes a linkage bar and a linkage block, the linkage bar is slidably connected to a rotating roller, the linkage block is arranged on a stop bar, a linkage inclined surface is provided on the linkage block, the distance between the linkage inclined surface and the elastic ring gradually decreases along the direction from the stop plate to the linkage block, and the linkage inclined surface is located on the driving path of the linkage bar; when the tray abuts against the stop bar, the stop bar drives the linkage bar to move via the linkage inclined surface, and at this time the linkage bar drives the elastic ring to abut against the tray.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the stop bar moves, the stop bar drives the linkage block to move. Since the linkage slope is located on the driving path of the linkage bar, and the distance between the linkage slope and the elastic ring gradually decreases along the direction from the stop plate to the linkage block, the linkage slope can drive the linkage bar to move, so that the linkage bar can abut against the protrusion of the elastic ring, thereby realizing the elastic ring abutting against the tray.

[0024] Optionally, a receiving plate is provided on the base, and a receiving hole is provided on the receiving plate for the separation rod to slide, and a plurality of the receiving holes are provided; when the pushing structure abuts against the separation rod, the separation rod separates the tray along the direction of the receiving hole.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, a receiving plate is set on the base, and the separation rod is allowed to pass through the receiving hole. When the pushing structure moves, the pushing structure abuts the separation rod, allowing the separation rod to move along the direction of the receiving hole, so that the separation rod can drive the trays to separate, and the two adjacent groups of trays can be separated from each other; the staff only needs to replace the receiving plate so that the separation rod passes through different receiving holes, so that the separation rod can drive different groups of trays to separate, so that the staff can separate different groups of trays.

[0026] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The tray is limited by a limiting mechanism so that the tray can stop moving on the conveyor belt, so that subsequent trays can conflict with each other, avoiding the situation where a gap appears between two adjacent trays, so as to facilitate the positioning of the trays; the tray is separated from the conveyor belt by a pushing structure, and the tray is separated by a separation structure, so that trays of different groups can be separated, so that the mechanical claws of the subsequent stacking mechanism can grab the trays, so that the trays can be better stacked, and the accuracy of the mechanical claws in the stacking mechanism to grab the trays is improved; the separation rod is located between two adjacent groups of trays, and the separation drive member drives the separation rod to move, so that the separation rod separates the two adjacent groups of trays, so that the two adjacent groups of trays can be separated for the convenience of grabbing by the mechanical claws in the subsequent stacking mechanism.

[0027] 2. The rotating roller is driven to rotate along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt by a rotating driving member, and the rotating roller can abut against the tray, so that the rotating roller applies a force to the tray along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, so that when the rotating roller rotates, it can drive the tray to move on the conveyor belt, allowing the tray to pass through the conveyor belt smoothly; when the rotating roller does not rotate or the rotating roller is reversed, the rotating roller abuts against the tray, making it difficult for the tray to move on the conveyor belt, so that the subsequent tray can abut against the tray, so that the subsequent trays can contact each other, so as to facilitate the positioning of the tray.

[0057] Reference Fig.11 When the tray abuts the stop bar 512, the stop bar 512 drives the linkage block 532 to move, so that the linkage block 532 drives the linkage bar 531 to move through the linkage inclined surface 533, and the linkage bar 531 drives the elastic ring 521 to abut the tray, making it difficult for the tray to move on the conveyor belt 11.

[0058] Reference Fig.12 A through hole 61 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 12, and a receiving plate 6 is provided on the base 1. The receiving plate 6 can be located in the through hole 61, and the receiving plate 6 and the mounting plate 12 are fixedly connected by bolts. The receiving plate 6 is provided with a receiving hole 62 for the separation rod 27 to slide, and two receiving holes 62 are provided. The receiving hole 62 is oriented away from the push plate 25 and is inclined away from the other receiving hole 62, and the receiving hole 62 extends in a direction perpendicular to the length of the push plate 25.

[0059] Reference Fig.12 and Fig.13 The base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 63, and four receiving blocks 631 are slidably connected in the receiving groove 63. The separation drive member 28 includes four return springs, each return spring is fixedly connected to a different receiving block 631, and the surface of the return spring away from the receiving block 631 is fixedly connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 63.

When the separation rod 27 passes through the receiving hole 62, the receiving spring 632 is in a non-stressed state; when the separation rod 27 is completely located in the receiving groove 63, the receiving spring 632 is in a compressed state. When the separation rod 27 abuts against the hole wall of the receiving hole 62 facing the conveyor belt 11, the reset spring is in a non-stressed state; when the separation rod 27 abuts against the hole wall of the receiving hole 62 away from the conveyor belt 11, the reset spring is in a stretched state.

[0061] Reference Fig.12 and Fig.13 When the push plate 25 moves the tray, the push plate 25 abuts against the separation rod 27. At this time, the push plate 25 pushes the separation rod 27 to move in the receiving hole 62, so that the separation rod 27 separates different groups of trays. When the push plate 25 does not abut against the tray, the return spring drives the receiving block 631 to return to its original position.

[0062] Reference Fig.14 A mounting strip 64 is fixedly connected to the surface of the receiving plate 6, and a mounting groove 641 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 12 for inserting the mounting strip 64, and the mounting groove 641 extends perpendicular to the transport direction of the conveyor belt 11. When the receiving plate 6 is mounted on the mounting plate 12, the mounting strip 64 is located in the mounting groove 641.

[0063] Reference Fig.14 A dovetail block 642 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting strip 64, and a dovetail groove 65 is provided on the surface of the stop plate 5 for inserting the dovetail block 642, and the dovetail groove 65 extends in the vertical direction. When the stop plate 5 is installed on the base 1, the stop plate 5 can be inserted into the mounting groove 641, and then the staff inserts the dovetail block 642 into the dovetail groove 65 to achieve mutual fixation between the mounting strip 64 and the stop plate 5.

[0064] Reference Fig.14 The mounting plate 12 is slidably connected with a baffle 66, which can block the opening of the mounting groove 641. When the baffle 66 blocks the opening of the mounting groove 641, the baffle 66 restricts the mounting strip 64 from being disengaged from the mounting groove 641. At this time, the mounting strip 64 is mounted on the base, and the stop plate 5 is mounted on the base.

[0065] The implementation principle of Example 5 is as follows: when the tray abuts the stop bar 512, the stop bar 512 drives the linkage bar 531 to move through the linkage inclined surface 533, so that the linkage bar 531 drives the elastic ring 521 to abut the tray, restricting the tray from continuing to move, and the pushing structure 21 drives the pushing plate 25 to abut the tray. At this time, the pushing plate 25 abuts against the separation rod 27 to move, allowing the separation rod 27 to separate different groups of trays.
