Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a material sorting device, in particular to a carbon rod sorting device. Background Art

[0002] Carbon rods are an essential raw material for manufacturers of disposable batteries (dry cells). Currently, upstream companies typically use automatic carbon rod loading equipment to arrange the formed carbon rods into orderly rows and load them into receiving containers. However, there is no device to automatically load the carbon rods after arranging them. Therefore, manual loading is required, requiring the carbon rods to be placed into the feed port of the automatic carbon rod loading machine. This results in high labor intensity, high labor costs, low loading efficiency, poor loading quality, and easy damage to the carbon rods. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a fully automatic carbon rod sorting device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a carbon rod sorting device, including a feeding mechanism, a material distribution channel, a material sorting turntable, and a discharging channel connected in sequence, the feeding mechanism is arranged above the material distribution channel, and a vibrator for feeding is provided on the feeding mechanism, the material sorting turntable includes a first material sorting disk and a second material sorting disk, the material distribution channel can transport materials from the feeding mechanism to the first material sorting disk and the second material sorting disk respectively, the first material sorting disk and the second material sorting disk are provided with discharge ports connected to the discharge channel on their circumferential sides, the discharge channel is tangentially connected to the first material sorting disk and the second material sorting disk at the discharge port, and a material brush is provided on the discharge port for pushing the material above the discharge channel back to the material sorting turntable. Starting the vibrator can make the material fall into the material distribution channel to realize feeding.

[0005] Furthermore, the first material sorting tray and the second material sorting tray are provided with a material detection mechanism, and the material distribution channel is provided with a material blocking mechanism which is signal-connected to the material detection mechanism. The material detection mechanism can detect the amount of material on the material sorting turntable, and cooperate with the blocking mechanism to control the material on the first material sorting tray and the second material sorting tray within a reasonable range. If there is too little material, the efficiency will be affected, and if there is too much material, it may fly out of the material sorting turntable.

[0006] Furthermore, the first material sorting tray and the second material sorting tray are respectively arranged on both sides of the material distribution channel, and the material discharge channel is arranged between the first material sorting tray and the second material sorting tray.

[0007] Furthermore, a material receiving trough is provided on the material distribution channel, and a liftable pushing mechanism is provided in the material receiving trough. Since the feeding mechanism and the vibrator cannot determine the feeding quantity, the material receiving trough can temporarily store a certain amount of material. When the material sorting turntable is out of material, the material blocking mechanism is opened first to transport the material on the material distribution channel to the material sorting turntable. If there is still a shortage of material, the pushing mechanism rises to lift the material in the material receiving trough to the material distribution channel for further replenishment. The setting of the material receiving trough and the pushing mechanism makes up for the problem that the feeding mechanism may feed too much material.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the pushing mechanism is triangular, and the material can move from the top to both sides.

[0009] Furthermore, a screen is provided between the feeding mechanism and the material distribution channel. The screen is connected to the feeding mechanism. The material of the feeding mechanism enters the material distribution channel after passing through the screen. The screen is used to screen impurities.

[0010] Furthermore, a collecting box is provided below the screen, and the collecting box is used to collect impurities passing through the screen.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharge channel is a straight channel to avoid material damage. Furthermore, the material-diverting brush is rotatably arranged on the discharge port, and the rotatably arranged material-diverting brush can smoothly divert the material back to the material-processing turntable without damaging the material.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross section of the discharge channel 4 is adapted to the material.

[0013] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention realizes fully automatic material sorting through the arrangement of the feeding mechanism, the material dividing channel, the material sorting turntable and the material discharging channel, solves the problem of existing manual material sorting and greatly improves production efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] Reference Figures 1 and 2: A carbon rod sorting device in this embodiment includes a feeding mechanism 1, a material distribution channel 2, a material sorting turntable 3, and a discharge channel 4 connected in sequence. The feeding mechanism 1 is arranged above the material distribution channel 2, and a vibrator 11 for feeding is provided on the feeding mechanism 1. The material sorting turntable 3 includes a first material sorting disk 31 and a second material sorting disk 32. The material distribution channel 2 can transport materials from the feeding mechanism 1 to the first material sorting disk 31 and the second material sorting disk 32 respectively. The first material sorting disk 31 and the second material sorting disk 32 are provided with a discharge port 33 connected to the discharge channel 4 on the circumference. The discharge channel 4 is tangentially connected to the first material sorting disk 31 and the second material sorting disk 32 at the discharge port 33. A material brush 5 for pushing the material above the discharge channel 4 back to the material sorting turntable 3 is provided on the discharge port 33. Starting the vibrator 11 can make the material fall into the material distribution channel 2 to realize feeding.

[0016] A screen 12 is provided between the feeding mechanism 1 and the distribution channel 2. The screen 12 is connected to the feeding mechanism 1. The material of the feeding mechanism 1 enters the distribution channel 2 after passing through the screen 12. The screen 12 is used to screen impurities. A collecting box 13 is provided under the screen 12. The collecting box 13 is used to collect impurities passing through the screen 12.

[0017] The material distribution channel 2 is provided with a receiving trough 22, and a lifting and lowering material pushing mechanism 23 (driven by a cylinder) is provided in the receiving trough 22. Since the feeding mechanism 1 and the vibrator 11 cannot determine the feeding quantity, the receiving trough 22 can temporarily store a certain amount of material. When the material sorting turntable 3 is out of material, the material blocking mechanism 21 is opened first to transport the material on the distribution channel 2 to the material sorting turntable 3 (when the material blocking mechanism 21 of the distribution channel 2 is closed, the feeding mechanism 1 vibrates and the material drops, and some of the material falls on the distribution channel 2, and the other material falls into the receiving trough 22. In addition, since the material sorting turntable 3 includes a first material sorting tray 31 and a second material sorting tray 32, if the first material sorting tray 31 is out of material, the material to the first material sorting tray 31 will be opened. The material blocking mechanism 21 of the first material sorting tray 31 is open, while the material blocking mechanism 21 leading to the second material sorting tray 32 is closed. When the pushing mechanism 23 rises to push the material, the material will be temporarily stored in the distribution channel 2 leading to the second material sorting tray 32). If there is still a shortage of material, the pushing mechanism 23 rises to lift the material in the receiving trough 22 to the distribution channel 2 for further replenishment. The setting of the receiving trough 22 and the pushing mechanism 23 makes up for the problem that the feeding mechanism 1 may feed too much material. The top of the pushing mechanism 23 is triangular, and the material can move from the top to both sides; the distribution channel 2 is provided with an openable and closable material blocking mechanism 21, and the material blocking mechanism 21 can be a cylinder or other drive to realize opening and closing.

[0018] The first material sorting tray 31 and the second material sorting tray 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the material distribution channel 2. The first material sorting tray 31 and the second material sorting tray 32 are provided with a material detection mechanism 34. The material detection mechanism 34 can detect the material amount of the material sorting turntable 3, and cooperate with the material blocking mechanism 21 to control the material of the first material sorting tray 31 and the second material sorting tray 32 within a reasonable range. If the material is too little, it will affect the efficiency, and if the material is too much, it may fly out of the material sorting turntable 3.

[0019] The discharge channel 4 is arranged between the first material sorting tray 31 and the second material sorting tray 32. The discharge channel 4 is a straight channel to avoid material damage. The end of the discharge channel 4 is connected to the entrance of the tray loading machine, for example, it is connected to the "A Medical Carbon Rod Automatic Turntable Machine" with publication number CN110654819B. The present invention can realize automatic loading, replenishing of missing materials and accurate grasp of material quantity, and is connected to the tray loading machine to achieve full automation. The brush 5 is rotatably arranged above the discharge port 33. The rotatable brush 5 can smoothly push the material back to the material handling turntable 3 without damaging the material. Figure 1 As shown, the first material sorting disc 31 rotates counterclockwise, and the material brush 5 thereon rotates clockwise; the second material sorting disc 32 rotates clockwise, and the material brush 5 thereon rotates counterclockwise. In this way, the material can be smoothly sorted into the material sorting disc 3. If a fixed baffle structure is directly used, the material may be easily damaged and broken, and may become stuck.

[0020] The method of using the present invention is to start the present invention, and the feeding mechanism 1 vibrates the material to the distribution channel 2 under the action of the vibrator 11. At this time, the pushing mechanism 23 of the distribution channel 2 rises to the top of the material receiving trough 22 (when there is material on the material sorting turntable 3, the pushing mechanism 23 is at the bottom of the material receiving trough 22), and the material blocking mechanisms 21 on both sides of the distribution channel 2 are opened (when there is material on the material sorting turntable 3, the material blocking mechanism 21 is closed), and the material falls onto the pushing mechanism 23 and falls onto the first material sorting disk 31 and the second material sorting disk 32 along the pushing mechanism 23 and the distribution channel 2 respectively. The first material sorting disk 31 and the second material sorting disk 32 rotate, and the material is centrifuged in the material sorting turntable 3 to the side discharge port 33, and enters the discharge channel 4 in turn. The cross section of the discharge channel 4 is adapted to the material and is circular (can only accommodate a single material). The material port 33 gathers multiple materials at the same time, and the excess materials will be pushed back to the material sorting turntable 3 by the material brush 5, so as to prevent multiple materials from being stuck at the material outlet 33; there are two material detection mechanisms 34, which are respectively arranged on the first material sorting disk 31 and the second material sorting disk 32. The material detection mechanism 34 is a sensor. When it is detected that the corresponding material sorting turntable 3 is out of material, the corresponding material blocking mechanism 21 is first opened to replenish the material blocked on the material distribution channel 2 into the material sorting turntable 3. If there is still a shortage of material, the pushing mechanism 23 rises to replenish the material in the receiving trough 22 from the material distribution channel 2 into the material sorting turntable 3. After this action is completed, if the material sorting turntable 3 is still out of material, the vibrator 11 is started and the feeding mechanism 1 replenishes the material. If there is still a shortage of material, the feeding mechanism 1 is out of material / stuck, and manual material replenishment / cleaning is required.

[0021] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it will be understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and are not to be construed as limitations on the present invention. A person skilled in the art may change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
