Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of feeding equipment for color sorters, and more particularly to a guide plate with a uniform feeding function and its application in a color sorter. Background Technology

[0002] Before color sorting, the material needs to be evenly spread on the horizontal conveyor mechanism. For some materials that are easy to stack, it is often necessary to set up a vibrating feeding device, or even set up multi-level vibration, to break up the material and avoid material stacking.

[0003] The existing vibrating feeder directly conveys the material discharged to the horizontal conveying mechanism. For materials that are prone to sticking together, multiple levels of vibration are required to break up the material, which is relatively expensive. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this invention proposes a guide plate with a uniform material distribution function and its application in a color sorter.

[0005] The present invention proposes a guide plate with a uniform material distribution function, which is installed between a vibrating feeder and a horizontal transmission mechanism. The guide plate includes a plate body, which gradually tilts downward from the side closer to the vibrating feeder to the side closer to the horizontal transmission mechanism.

[0006] The plate has a corrugated portion, which has multiple grooves and protrusions, and the protrusions and grooves are alternately arranged along the length of the plate.

[0007] The corrugated section has a material distribution area and a secondary material prevention area; the height of the material distribution area is greater than the height of the secondary material prevention area.

[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, the upper surface of the plate is tangent to the lowest point of the groove.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, the groove is an arc-shaped groove.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, the width of the groove gradually narrows from the side closer to the vibrating feeder to the side closer to the horizontal transmission mechanism.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, a protrusion is formed on the upper side of any two adjacent grooves.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, the plate body has mounting holes, and the corrugated part is detachably mounted on the plate body and has a portion located in the mounting holes.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, the width of the corrugated portion is equal to the width of the plate.

[0014] As a further optimization of the present invention, the width of the corrugated portion is smaller than the width of the plate body, at least two sets of corrugated portions are distributed along the width direction of the plate body to form a first corrugated portion group, at least two sets of the corrugated portions are distributed along the width direction of the plate body to form a second corrugated portion group, and the first corrugated portion group and the second corrugated portion group are distributed along the length direction of the plate body.

[0015] As a further optimization of the present invention, the combined width of the first corrugated portion group and the second corrugated portion group is greater than the width of the plate body; the first corrugated portion group has a portion in the width direction that intersects with the material dispersion area of ​​the second corrugated portion group.

[0016] A color sorter includes a vibrating feeder and a horizontal conveying mechanism mounted on the frame, and also includes the aforementioned guide plate with a uniform material distribution function. The material discharged from the vibrating feeder is loosened by the guide plate and then discharged into the horizontal conveying mechanism.

[0017] In this invention, the proposed guide plate with uniform material distribution function and its application in the color sorter can disperse stacked materials through the material dispersion area of ​​the corrugated section, and reduce secondary stacking caused by material jumping by preventing secondary stacking area; it can ensure the material dispersion effect while reducing the vibration level and improve the recognition accuracy of the color sorter.

[0023] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-2 The guide plate shown has a material leveling function and is installed between the vibrating feeder 3 and the horizontal transmission mechanism 2. The horizontal transmission mechanism 2 can be a belt drive mechanism in the prior art. The height of the vibrating feeder 3 is higher than the height of the horizontal transmission mechanism 2. It also includes a plate body 4, which is inclined. The plate body 4 gradually tilts downward from the side closer to the vibrating feeder 3 to the side closer to the horizontal transmission mechanism 2. It should be noted that there is a vibration interval between the plate body 4 and the vibrating feeder 3 to avoid the vibrating feeder 3 from hitting the plate body 4 during horizontal vibration.

[0026] The plate 4 has a corrugated portion 5, which has multiple grooves 50 and protrusions 51. The protrusions 51 and grooves 50 are alternately arranged along the length of the plate 4. The plate 4 also has a front guide portion 40 and a rear guide portion 41. The corrugated portion 5 is located between the front guide portion 40 and the rear guide portion 41. The upper surfaces of the front guide portion 40 and the rear guide portion 41 are both flat or curved surfaces. Preferably, the distance from the corrugated portion 5 to the front guide portion 40 is smaller than the distance to the rear guide portion 41. Preferably, the rear guide section 41 has an inclined guide section 410 and an arc-shaped guide section 411. The inclined guide section 410 is connected to the corrugated section 5. The arc-shaped guide section 411 is tangent to the inclined guide section 410. The angle between the tangent of the arc-shaped guide section 411 and the horizontal plane gradually decreases from the end near the inclined guide section 410 to the end away from the inclined guide section 410, thereby facilitating the guiding of materials and preventing the secondary stacking of loose materials.

[0027] The corrugated section 5 has a material dispersing area 500 and a secondary material accumulation prevention area 501; the height of the protrusion 51 in the material dispersing area 500 is greater than the height of the protrusion 51 in the secondary material accumulation prevention area 501. Specifically, the height of the protrusion 51 gradually decreases from the side closer to the vibrating feeder 3 to the side farther away from the vibrating feeder 3.

[0028] When the material undergoes initial vibration on the vibrating feeder 3, the material discharged from the vibrating feeder 3 is discharged onto the plate 4. After being guided by the front guide section 40, the material enters the corrugated section 5. The material passes through the protrusions 51 and the grooves 50, thereby loosening the material. Then, it enters the anti-secondary stacking zone 501, which gradually reduces the vibration and jumping of the material, thereby preventing the loosened material from being stacked again. Then, it is discharged onto the horizontal transmission mechanism 2 through the inclined guide section 410 and the arc-shaped guide section 411. The inclined guide section 410 and the arc-shaped guide section 411 increase the distance between the materials, achieving uniform distribution of the materials, thereby loosening the materials. Under the premise of reducing the vibration level, the materials can be loosened, improving the recognition accuracy.

[0029] Preferably, the upper surface of the plate 4 is tangent to the lowest point of the groove 50, the groove 50 is an arc-shaped groove 50, and the inclined surface of the inclined guide part 410 is tangent to the bottom of the groove 50, thereby ensuring the loosening effect.

[0030] To further reduce material vibration, preferably, the width of the groove 50 gradually narrows from the side closer to the vibrating feeder 3 to the side closer to the horizontal transmission mechanism 2, with the maximum groove 50 width being greater than the maximum size of the material and the minimum groove 50 width being less than the minimum size of the material.

[0031] Preferably, a protrusion 51 is formed on the side above any two adjacent grooves 50, that is, the upper surface of the protrusion 51 is pointed, which ensures the loosening effect of the material to a certain extent while gradually reducing the jumping of the material.

[0032] In order to enable the processing, disassembly, or replacement of the corrugated part 5, preferably, the plate 4 has a mounting hole, and the corrugated part 5 is detachably mounted on the plate 4 and has a portion located in the mounting hole.

[0033] In this embodiment, the width of the corrugated portion 5 is equal to the width of the plate 4.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that, in order to achieve better material loosening, the width of the corrugated portion 5 is smaller than the width of the plate 4. At least two sets of corrugated portions 5 are distributed along the width direction of the plate 4 to form a first corrugated portion group 6, and any two adjacent sets of corrugated portions 5 in the first corrugated portion group 6 form a gap between them in the width direction of the plate 4; at least two sets of corrugated portions 5 are distributed along the width direction of the plate 4 to form a second corrugated portion group 7, and any two adjacent sets of corrugated portions 5 in the second corrugated portion group 7 form a gap between them in the width direction of the plate 4. The first corrugated portion group 6 and the second corrugated portion group 7 are distributed along the length direction of the plate 4, so as to achieve the dispersion of materials of the same width at different times, thereby allowing the dispersed materials and the undispersed materials to interact and further enhance the dispersion effect.

[0036] To achieve better material dispersion, preferably, the width of the first corrugated part group 6 and the second corrugated part group 7 is greater than the width of the plate body 4; the material dispersion area of ​​the first corrugated part group 6 in the width direction has a portion that intersects with the material dispersion area of ​​the second corrugated part group 7.

[0037] A color sorter includes a vibrating feeder 3 and a horizontal transmission mechanism 2 mounted on a frame 1, and also includes the aforementioned guide plate with a uniform material distribution function. The material discharged from the vibrating feeder 3 is loosened by the guide plate and then discharged into the horizontal transmission mechanism 2.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
