[0016] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be understood that the specific implementation methods described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0018] See also Figure 1-5 A material shifting mechanism includes a pair of brackets 1, a base plate 2 is arranged between the brackets 1, a pair of optical axis fixing plates 3 are arranged on the base plate 2, a placement slot 31 is provided in the middle of the optical axis fixing plates 3, four optical axes 4 are arranged between the optical axis fixing plates 3, and two optical axes form a group, and each group is symmetrically arranged about the placement slot 31, and the optical axes in each group are arranged parallel to each other up and down, a plurality of material shifting blocks 5 are slidably arranged on the optical axis 4, a U-shaped card slot 51 is provided in the middle of the material shifting block 5, and a magnet (not shown in the figure) is embedded in the bottom of the card slot, wire strips 6 are provided on the left and right sides of the material shifting block 5 for connection, and the thread end of the wire strip 6 is fixed on one of the optical axis fixing plates 3, a cylinder 7 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 2, a slider 8 is provided on the cylinder 7, a connecting block 9 is provided on the slider 8, a sliding slot for the connecting block to move is provided on the base plate 2, and the connecting block 9 passes through the sliding slot and is fixedly connected to the material shifting block 5 away from the thread end of the wire strip. Specifically, as Figure 5 As described above, this state is the initial state of the mechanism. The material-pickup blocks 5 are tightly fitted together. At this time, the product can be placed in the card slot 51, the magnet attracts the product, the slender iron rod is passed through the product in sequence, and the left and right points of the iron rod are placed in the placement slot 31 of the optical axis fixing plate 3. At the same time, a limit block is set on the outer side of the optical axis fixing plate 3 to limit and fix the iron rod. At this time, the cylinder 7 is turned on to drive the slider 8 to move. The slider 8 drives the material-pickup block 5 to be pulled through the connecting block 9. The wire belt 6 will be straightened when the cylinder is activated, so that the material-pickup block 5 fixed on the wire belt 6 and the product are separated (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), so as to achieve the purpose of separating products.

[0019] In this embodiment, a linear bearing 10 is arranged between the material shifting block 5 and the optical axis 4, and the linear bearing 10 is staggered and distributed between each group of optical axes. The linear bearing 10 can reduce friction, thereby facilitating the movement of the material shifting block 5 on the optical axis.

[0020] In this embodiment, the wire belt 6 can be replaced to adjust the spacing between the material-dividing blocks 5. The wire belt 6 is detachable. If there are different spacing requirements, wire belts with various hole spacings can be used to meet the requirements of material distribution with different spacings (equal spacing and unequal spacing can be achieved by simply switching the wire belt). Compared with the existing equal spacing material distribution mechanism, the cost is low and it is applicable to various scenarios.

[0021] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Other modifications or equivalent substitutions made to the technical solution of the utility model by ordinary technicians in this field should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
