One important means is to use automated equipment to replace manual operations, improve production efficiency, and reduce labor costs. Based on the above advantages of automated equipment, they are currently also widely used in the field of product classification.

[0003] A product sorting mechanism is a device used in automated processing to separate and convey products according to predetermined requirements. The Chinese patent application, Publication No. CN202222519888, entitled "A Product Sorting Mechanism and Product Sorting System," discloses a product sorting mechanism and system. The mechanism and system place the product sorting mechanism on a discharging device. A servo motor drives a rotating block to rotate via a first synchronous wheel, a second synchronous wheel, and a synchronous belt. After the third flow channel aligns with the flow channel on the partition block, the servo motor stops, and the discharging device discharges the product. The product can fall directly from the inlet by its own gravity. A photoelectric sensor is provided at the inlet to ensure that the product falls stably into the inlet and that no foreign matter enters the inlet. The product passes through the third flow channel and the flow channel on the partition block in turn and enters a preset material box in the hopper. The servo motor then restarts to rotate the rotating block to the next flow channel on the partition block for product sorting. This process is repeated continuously. After all products have been sorted, the staff can directly pull out the material box by handle to complete the sorting. Summary of the Invention

[0027] A disc shaft 3101 is arranged in the middle of the disc shaft mechanism 310, and a flange 3103 is integrated with the disc shaft 3101.

[0033] This invention provides a sorting device for display stand parts, designed to automatically sort and transport both shafted and non-shafted products through an efficient and simple mechanical structure. The device utilizes a series of coordinated modules, with a rational design and structural layout, to achieve a more stable and accurate sorting process and significantly reduce manufacturing costs.

[0034] The structure and function of the device: Conveying and sorting system: The core of the device is two plate chain conveyor lines: the first plate chain conveyor line and the second plate chain conveyor line. The first plate chain conveyor line receives shafted and non-shafted products from the production line. After sorting through the disc guide mechanism, the shafted products are sent to the second plate chain conveyor line for further processing.

[0035] The first plate chain conveyor line is responsible for transporting products. It transports both shafted and shaftless products to the disc guide mechanism. Precise track design and power drive ensure that both products can enter the sorting area smoothly and stably.

[0036] The second chain conveyor line receives the sorted shafted products and conveys them to the next process. It is arranged at a 90-degree angle to the first chain conveyor line, ensuring efficient connection between the two conveyor lines.

[0037] Disc Guide: A key component of the machine, the disc guide utilizes centrifugal force to separate shafted products from non-shafted products. The disc guide's structural design ensures efficient sorting, eliminating the need for expensive sensors or servo motors and significantly reducing equipment costs.

[0038] Working Principle: When products pass through the disc guide mechanism, shafted products, due to their greater weight, are subject to less centrifugal force and can continue to be transported steadily along the track. In contrast, shaftless products, due to the greater centrifugal force, will be thrown out of the disc guide mechanism, enter the second plate chain conveyor line, and eventually fall into the storage box for storage.

[0039] Structural Design: The disc guide mechanism includes an upper track plate and a lower track plate, which together form a guide path for the product, preventing the product from flying out or misplaced during the sorting process. The precise design between the upper and lower track plates ensures a smooth transition of the product.

[0040] The disc shaft and drive system: The disc shaft is a key component in the disc guide mechanism, responsible for providing the disc's rotational power. Driven by a motor, the disc rotates stably, enabling the separation of shafted and non-shafted products.

[0041] Motor Drive: The motor is connected to the disc shaft via a coupling. The motor shaft passes through a pre-set hole in the motor connection plate, transmitting power to the disc shaft. A standard asynchronous motor is used, significantly reducing production costs compared to servo motors. The motor drive system provides stable power, ensuring the disc operates efficiently and without malfunctions.

[0042] Disc shaft structure: The disc shaft is supported by a sleeve and bearings to ensure the stability of the disc during rotation. The design of the sleeve and bearings ensures the smooth rotation of the disc and avoids the problems of friction and heat accumulation.

[0043] Product Sorting and Storage: Shafted Products: Shafted products are conveyed via a disc guide mechanism to the second plate chain conveyor line and ultimately to the next process. Because shafted products are heavier and experience less centrifugal force, they can be transported stably along the track.

[0044] Shaftless products: Shaftless products lack a shaft and are lighter, subject to greater centrifugal force. As a result, they are thrown out by the disc guide mechanism and fall into the storage box. The storage box collects these shaftless products for subsequent processing or storage.

[0045] Baseplate and Support Structure: The baseplate of the device is supported by support columns, ensuring stability even during high-speed operation. A storage box is located above the baseplate to collect sorted shaftless products, ensuring smooth storage of parts after sorting and avoiding confusion.

[0046] Component coordination and optimization logic:

[0047] The plate chain conveyor works in conjunction with a disc guide mechanism: The first plate chain conveyor transports both shafted and shaftless products to the disc guide mechanism, ensuring each product enters the sorting area precisely. The disc guide mechanism uses centrifugal force to separate shafted and shaftless products. Shafted products continue along the track, while shaftless products are ejected and dropped into storage boxes.

[0048] The motor drive system works with the disc shaft: The motor drive system uses a conventional asynchronous motor to provide power to the disc shaft. Through a coupling, the motor's rotational power is transmitted to the disc shaft mechanism, driving the disc to rotate, effectively guiding the products during the sorting process.

[0049] Function of the storage box: The storage box is designed to collect shaftless products. It is located at the end of the second plate chain conveyor line to ensure that the thrown shaftless products can be stored in a timely and neat manner for subsequent processing.

[0050] Overall advantages:

[0051] Cost-effectiveness: This device adopts ordinary asynchronous motor and mechanical drive system, abandons high-cost sensors and servo motors, and significantly reduces manufacturing costs.

[0052] Improved production efficiency: The automated sorting and conveying system reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the stability and reliability of the equipment are optimized to ensure the continuous operation of the production line.

[0053] Simple and efficient: The equipment has a simple structural design but powerful functions. Through reasonable mechanical coordination and power system, it realizes efficient parts sorting and transportation, greatly improving the degree of production automation.
