[0043] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 13 ;

[0045] Embodiment 1 is the first embodiment of the present invention.

A branch transmission system 1 is correspondingly provided on one side of each of the plurality of sorting parts 2. The branch transmission system 1 is used to convey the different flexible materials sorted by the sorting parts 2 accordingly.

[0046] The sorting section 2 includes a 360-degree rotating turntable assembly 201. Several screw telescopic assemblies 202 are provided on the outside of the turntable assembly 201. The screw telescopic assemblies 202 include a motor, a limit slot, a screw, and a moving block. A corresponding robotic arm 203 is provided on the outside of each screw telescopic assembly 202. The moving block is fixedly connected to the robotic arm 203. Each robotic arm 203 is provided on the outside with a suction assembly 204 for sorting flexible materials.

[0047] The turntable assembly 201 includes a base 2011 placed on the ground. A steering motor 2012 is fixedly mounted in the inner cavity of the base 2011. A steering column 2013 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the steering motor 2012. A turntable 2014 is fixedly mounted on the top of the steering column 2013. The top of the turntable 2014 is mounted on the outside of the adsorption assembly 204.

[0048] The adsorption group 204 includes a fan 2041 fixed on the top of the turntable 2014 on the steering column 2013. The absorption end of the fan 2041 is provided with a filter element 3 for isolating impurities. The outside of the filter element 3 is provided with a collecting pipe 2042. A plurality of absorption tubes 2043 are fixedly installed on the outside of the collecting pipe 2042, and the number of absorption tubes 2043 corresponds to the number of robotic arms 203. An absorption disk 2044 is fixed to the grabbing end of the robotic arm 203. The outside of each absorption disk 2044 is fixed to an absorption tube 2043, and the inner cavity of each absorption tube 2043 is installed with an electromagnetic valve 2045.

[0049] The surface of the absorption disk 2044 is provided with a plurality of vents 4. The surface of the absorption disk 2044 is also fixed with a plurality of raised blocks 5. The raised blocks 5 can be made of rubber material. In this way, when the flexible material is grasped, the contact with the raised blocks 5 can avoid the problem of being squeezed and damaged, thereby improving the safety of grasping the flexible material.

[0050] When grabbing flexible materials, follow the instructions Figure 1, start the steering motor 2012 inside the base 2011, the steering motor 2012 drives the turntable 2014 to rotate, and then starts the screw telescopic group 202 at the corresponding position, at this time the screw telescopic group 202 will drive the robotic arm 203 toward the corresponding flexible material location;

[0051] Then, the fan 2041 on the adsorption group 204 is started. After the fan 2041 is running, it will absorb air. At this time, the fan 2041 cooperates with several absorption tubes 2043 and corresponding absorption disks 2044 through the collecting pipe 2042 under the control of the mechanical arm 203 to move to the top of the flexible material to be grasped. Then, the solenoid valve 2045 on the corresponding absorption tube 2043 is opened, so that the absorption tube 2043 at this position can cooperate with the absorption disk 2044 to absorb air. In this way, the absorption disk 2044 can use the several ventilation ports 4 to absorb the flexible material, thereby realizing the adsorption and grasping of the flexible material. At this time, the squeezing and deformation of the flexible material caused by the traditional mechanical claw when grasping the flexible material is avoided, thereby improving the safety of grasping the flexible material;

[0052] At the same time, the rotary design of the turntable group 201 enables different robotic arms 203 to perform grasping and placing actions at the same time, thereby improving the grasping efficiency of flexible materials.

[0053] Embodiment 2;

[0054] The filter element 3 includes an assembly tube 301 fixed to the suction end of the fan 2041. A limit frame 302 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the assembly tube 301. A filter cartridge 303 is movably installed on the assembly tube 301 through the limit frame 302. A placement opening 304 is opened on the surface of the assembly tube 301. The surface of the placement opening 304 is connected to a closing block 305 via a hinge. A sealing strip 306 is fixed to the outer wall of the closing block 305. A handle 307 is fixedly installed on the outside of the closing block 305.

[0055] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the suction force generated when the flexible material is grabbed will also absorb impurities on the surface of the flexible material and the transmission system 1. The absorbed impurities will be transmitted to the absorption tube 2043 and the collecting tube 2042 in sequence through the absorption disk 2044, and then transmitted to the interior of the assembly tube 301. After the impurities enter the interior of the assembly tube 301, they will enter the filter cylinder 303, and then the filter cylinder 303 will block the impurities to prevent the impurities from entering the interior of the fan 2041. At this time, the blocking and collection of impurities are achieved.

[0056] Embodiment 3;

[0057] An expansion portion 6 is provided inside the transmission system 1, and a retaining hole 7 is provided on the surface of the transmission system 1;

[0058] The expansion unit 6 includes an directional motor 601 fixed to the inner wall of the transmission system 1. A steering rod 602 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the directional motor 601. Two first support rods 603 are fixedly mounted on the outside of the steering rod 602. A scraper 604 is fixedly mounted on one end of each of the two first support rods 603. Two elastic members 605 are also fixedly mounted on the outside of the steering rod 602.

[0059] The elastic member 605 includes a second support rod 6051 fixed to the outer wall of the steering rod 602. A support frame 6052 is fixedly mounted on one end of the second support rod 6051. A support rod 6053 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the support frame 6052. A roller 6054 is movably mounted on the outer portion of the support rod 6053.

[0060] When the conveyor belt of the conveyor system 1 becomes loose, the directional motor 601 can be started to drive the steering rod 602 to rotate. The rotating steering rod 602 drives the two second support rods 6051 to be tilted up and down. The specific tilt is determined by the loose state of the conveyor belt. At this time, the support frame 6052 on the surface of the second support rod 6051 directly contacts the inner wall of the conveyor belt through the movable roller 6054 on the support rod 6053. At this time, the roller 6054 can act as a roller in the process of tightening the conveyor belt without interfering with the operation of the conveyor belt.

[0061] At the same time, when cleaning the inner wall of the conveyor belt, the directional motor 601 can be started to rotate again. At this time, the directional motor 601 drives the first support rod 603 to move toward the inner wall of the conveyor belt through the rotation of the steering rod 602, and then the scraper 604 on the first support rod 603 directly contacts the inner wall surface of the conveyor belt. At this time, impurities on the inner wall of the conveyor belt can be scraped off, and the inner wall of the conveyor belt can be cleaned.

[0062] Embodiment 4:

[0063] Based on Example 3, the robotic arm 203 can be started to drive the absorption disk 2044 to extend through the retaining hole 7 into the inner cavity of the transmission system 1, and then the suction force of the absorption disk 2044 is used to absorb impurities on the inner wall of the transmission belt, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the inside of the transmission belt.

[0064] Embodiment 5;

[0065] Each joint of the robotic arm 203 is provided with a diversion component 8;

[0066] The diversion assembly 8 includes a shaping frame 801 fixed at each joint of the robotic arm 203. A ventilation ring 802 is fixedly installed on the outside of each shaping frame 801. The inner wall of the ventilation ring 802 is provided with a plurality of suction holes 803. An air guide tube 804 is fixedly installed on the outside of each ventilation ring 802. One end of the air guide tube 804 is assembled with the outer wall of the adsorption group 204. Specifically, the air guide tube 804 is connected to the position corresponding to the solenoid valve 2045 on the absorption tube 2043. The solenoid valve 2045 can control the opening and closing of the air guide tube 804.

[0067] After each robotic arm 203 completes the process of adsorbing, grasping, and placing the flexible material, the corresponding solenoid valve 2045 is activated. At this time, the solenoid valve 2045 closes the absorption tube 2043 and opens the air guide tube 804. Then, the air guide tube 804 uses the suction hole 803 on the ventilation ring 802 to absorb air from the joints of the robotic arm 203, and then cools and removes dust from the joints of the robotic arm 203, thereby improving the cooling effect and operating sensitivity of the joints of the robotic arm 203.
