[0040] The utility model provides a material sorting system, which includes a vibration disk assembly and a sorting assembly; the vibration disk assembly is used to flatten the material by vibration; the sorting assembly is arranged at the discharge end of the vibration disk assembly, and is used to receive the material sent out from the vibration disk assembly; wherein a plurality of first flow channels are arranged in parallel in the sorting assembly, and the width of each first flow channel matches the diameter of the material. In the material sorting system, the vibration disk assembly first flattens the material, and then the sorting assembly receives the material sent out by the vibration disk assembly, and then sorts the material through the first flow channel in the sorting assembly, thereby eliminating the diversion structure in the flow channel in the prior art, making it less likely for the material to be blocked, and improving the sorting efficiency of the material.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, a material sorting system 100 is provided to sort and convey materials 200. In one embodiment, the materials 200 are cigarettes, and the material sorting system 100 is a cigarette sorting system to sort and convey disordered cigarettes.

[0042] The material sorting system 100 includes a vibration disk assembly 10 and a sorting assembly 20. The vibration disk assembly 10 is used to flatten the material 200 by vibration. After the material 200 is fed into the vibration disk assembly 10, the vibration disk assembly 10 can flatten the messy material 200 into a single layer to avoid the accumulation of the material 200. The sorting assembly 20 is arranged at the discharge end of the vibration disk assembly 10 to receive the material 200 sent out from the vibration disk assembly 10. Among them, a plurality of first flow channels 21 are arranged in parallel in the sorting assembly 20, and the width of each first flow channel 21 matches the diameter of the material 200. Among them, the width of the first flow channel 21 matches the diameter of the material 200 means that the width of the first flow channel 21 is the same as the diameter of the material 200, or the width of the first flow channel 21 is slightly larger than the diameter of the material 200. When the material 200 falls into the sorting component 20 , the material 200 can be adjusted to be arranged individually through the guidance of the first flow channel 21 , so as to achieve sorting of the material 200 .

[0043] It should be noted that common cigarettes in the prior art may have several different diameters. Correspondingly, the sorting component 20 in the material sorting system 100 can be designed in several different models. The widths of the first flow channel 21 in the sorting components 20 of different models are different, and each model can be adapted to a cigarette of a certain diameter. In other words, the width of the first flow channel 21 in the sorting component 20 can be selected according to the actual materials to be sorted, and it is only necessary to ensure that after the materials fall into the sorting component 20, they can be adjusted to be arranged in a single piece through the first flow channel 21.

[0044] It is understandable that in the prior art, the sorting of cigarettes is achieved by setting a diversion structure in a circular vibrating disk. When the circular vibrating disk transports cigarettes, the cigarettes are first placed in a wider main channel, and a number of diversion channels are set on the rear side of the main channel. The width of each diversion channel matches the diameter of the cigarette. When the cigarettes flow into the diversion point between the main channel and the diversion channels, the diversion channels separate the cigarettes, so that the cigarettes are adjusted to be arranged in a single arrangement in the channel. When the cigarettes are sorted by this structure, the cigarettes are easily gathered at the diversion point to cause blockage, which affects the sorting efficiency of the cigarettes.

[0045] When the material sorting system 100 provided in this embodiment conveys and sorts the material 200, the vibration plate assembly 10 is first used to flatten the disordered material 200 into a single layer, and then the material 200 is directly dropped onto the sorting assembly 20. The sorting assembly 20 includes a plurality of the first flow channels 21 arranged in parallel, so that the material 200 is directly sorted by using the first flow channels 21, eliminating the diversion structure in the flow channel, and the material 200 is not easily blocked.

[0046] Specifically, in one embodiment, the sorting assembly 20 is located below the vibration plate assembly 10 , so that the material 200 can directly fall into the sorting assembly 20 by gravity.

[0047] Preferably, in one embodiment, two adjacent first flow channels 21 are separated by a first partition 22, and a recess 221 is provided on the first partition 22. It is understandable that when the material 200 flattened by the vibration plate assembly 10 falls into the sorting assembly 20, the material 200 collides with the first partition 22, and the orientation of the material 200 is preliminarily adjusted so that the material 200 can smoothly enter the first flow channel 21. For some materials 200 that span the first partition 22, due to the setting of the recess 221, the material 200 cannot form a stable state between the two first partitions 22, but will roll down along the side of the recess 221 and contact the bottom of the first flow channel 21, and the first flow channel 21 will transfer the material 200 and bring this part of the material 200 back into the first flow channel 21.

[0048] Furthermore, the materials 200 to be sorted are fed into the sorting assembly 20 from above, and the feeding direction is different from the conveying direction of the materials in the sorting assembly 20, so no blockage will occur in the conveying direction of the materials.

[0049] Preferably, in one embodiment, the first partition 22 is formed by splicing a plurality of triangular corner plates 222. The bottom edges of two adjacent corner plates 222 are abutted, and the sides are spaced apart from each other to form the notch 221. With this structure, both sides of the notch 221 are inclined surfaces, so that the material 200 can be guided more smoothly to avoid the accumulation of the material 200.

[0050] Specifically, in one embodiment, the recesses 221 on two adjacent first partitions 22 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the recesses 221 opened on each first partition 22 are located in the same position area, so that both ends of the material 200 spanning the first partition 22 can roll downward and contact the bottom of the first flow channel 21.

[0051] Preferably, in one embodiment, a vibrator is provided in the sorting component 20. The arrangement of the vibrator can drive the sorting component 20 to vibrate, for example, the sorting component 20 can drive the first partition 22 to vibrate, thereby applying a force to the material 200, so that the material 200 can adjust its direction more quickly, so that the material 200 can enter the first flow channel 21, thereby improving the efficiency of the material 200 entering the first flow channel 21.

[0052] Specifically, in one embodiment, the sorting component 20 can also be driven by the vibrator to perform vibration feeding, that is, the sorting component 20 can transport the material 200 in the form of vibration. In this way, a force can be better applied to the material 200 that has not fallen into the first flow channel 21, causing the material 200 to change its direction and fall into the first flow channel 21.

[0053] In addition, when the recess 221 is provided on the first partition 22, the setting of the recess 221 can also prevent the material 200 from stacking. When the material 200 is stacked up and down in the first flow channel 21, since the material 200 is cylindrical, the contact surface between the upper and lower materials is small. Under the action of vibration, the stability of the upper material is low, and the position will be shifted and fall into the adjacent first flow channel 21 through the recess 221, so that the lower material is maintained in a single-layer arrangement and conveyed in the first flow channel 21.

[0054] Preferably, in one embodiment, the sorting component 20 also includes a horizontal conveyor belt 23, the first partitions 22 are spaced apart above the horizontal conveyor belt 23, two adjacent first partitions 22 cooperate with the horizontal conveyor belt 23 to form a first flow channel 21, and the horizontal conveyor belt 23 can provide power for transporting the material 200 in the first flow channel 21.

[0055] Preferably, in one embodiment, the material sorting system 100 further includes a sorting component 30, which is arranged at the discharge end of the sorting component 20, and the material 200 sent out from the sorting component 20 can be received by the sorting component 30. The sorting component 30 includes a first output tray 31 and a second output tray 32, the first output tray 31 and the sorting component 20 are arranged side by side along the extension direction of the first flow channel 21, and the first output tray 31 and the sorting component 20 are separated to form a gap 33. The second output tray 32 is arranged below the first output tray 31, and the second output tray 32 is located below the gap 33 and completely covers the area where the gap 33 is located. It can be understood that in the materials to be sorted, there may be some scattered tobacco, cigarette paper or truncated short cigarettes and other waste materials and waste cigarettes mixed in, which need to be separated from the standard materials. When the waste materials and waste cigarettes pass through the gap 33, they fall into the second output tray 32 through the gap 33 for collection. The standard material will not fall into the gap 33 but continue to be transported into the first output tray 31 for collection.

[0056] Preferably, in one embodiment, a plurality of second flow channels 311 are arranged in parallel on the first output disk 31, and the second flow channels 311 correspond to the first flow channels 21 one by one, and the width of each second flow channel 311 matches the diameter of the material. Through the arrangement of the second flow channels 311, the sorted qualified standard materials can be continuously conveyed to the subsequent process. The conveying method of the first output disk 31 can be selected in the same manner as the sorting component 20, that is, conveying by a conveyor belt, or by applying vibration and driving the conveying by vibration, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0057] Preferably, in one embodiment, the width of the gap 33 is not greater than the length of the standard material, and the width of the gap 33 is not less than half the length of the standard material. In this way, waste materials and smoke can be better screened into the second output tray 32, while preventing standard materials from falling into the second output tray 32.

[0058] Preferably, in one embodiment, the second output tray 32 includes a flat plate 321 and an inclined plate 322, and the flat plate 321 is arranged in parallel and spaced relationship below the first output tray 31. The inclined plate 322 is connected to one end of the flat plate 321, and is located below the gap 33, and completely covers the area where the gap 33 is located. When waste and waste smoke fall from the gap 33, the waste and waste smoke can be guided by the inclined plate 322, so that the waste and waste smoke can slide into the flat plate 321 more smoothly, so as to avoid the waste and waste smoke from accumulating in the gap 33.

[0059] Specifically, two adjacent second flow channels 311 are separated by a second partition plate 312 .

[0060] Preferably, in one embodiment, the material sorting system 100 further includes a feed assembly 40, and the feed assembly 40 includes a conveyor belt 41 and a collecting hopper 42. The collecting hopper 42 is disposed at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 41, and the vibration disk assembly 10 is disposed at the discharge end of the collecting hopper 42. The feed assembly 40 can continuously feed messy materials into the vibration disk assembly 10, thereby improving the sorting efficiency of the material sorting system 100.

[0061] Specifically, in one embodiment, the conveyor belt 41 is an oblique conveyor belt, which can transport messy materials to a higher place. The collecting hopper 42 is located below the discharge end of the conveyor belt 41 , and the vibrating plate assembly 10 is located below the discharge end of the collecting hopper 42 .

[0062] Preferably, in one embodiment, the vibration disk assembly 10 includes an upper vibration disk 11 and a lower vibration disk 12, and the upper vibration disk 11 is arranged above the lower vibration disk 12 in parallel and at intervals. By setting up two layers of vibration disks, the flattening effect of the material can be better guaranteed, and the two layers of vibration disks are stacked in the vertical direction without occupying too much horizontal space. The discharge end 111 and the feed end 112 of the upper vibration disk 11 are located at opposite ends of the upper vibration disk 11, and the discharge end 121 and the feed end 122 of the lower vibration disk 12 are located at opposite ends of the lower vibration disk 11. The discharge end 111 of the upper vibration disk 11 is located above the feed end 122 of the lower vibration disk 12, and the discharge end 121 of the lower vibration disk 12 is located below the feed end 112 of the upper vibration disk 11. Through this structure, the lower vibration disk 12 can be used as a continuation of the upper vibration disk 11, and the material needs to pass through the complete stroke of the two vibration disks to better ensure the flattening effect.

[0063] More preferably, in one embodiment, the upper vibration plate 11 and the lower vibration plate 12 are driven by a same vibrator, which can reduce the number of vibrators and reduce costs.

[0064] The above is only an implementation method of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, but these improvements are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
