[0049] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementations of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These implementations are only used to illustrate the present invention, but not to limit the present invention.
[0050] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0051] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0052] In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.
[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model is a sorting device with a function of preventing parts from falling off, and the sorting device includes a frame 1, a sorting trolley 2 movably mounted in the frame 1, a feeding and packing mechanism 91, a chute bottom plate 3 mounted on the frame 1, and a material receiving mechanism 92 arranged on one side of the chute bottom plate 3. The chute bottom plate 3 is rectangular, and includes a first side 311 and a second side 312 arranged oppositely, the first side 311 is close to the sorting trolley 2, and the second side 312 is far away from the sorting trolley 2; at the same time, the height of the first side 311 is greater than the height of the second side 312. Since the chute bottom plate 3 is inclined, the material falling from the first side 311 to the chute bottom plate 3 will slide to the second side 312 under the action of gravity, and then fall into the material receiving mechanism 92. The chute bottom plate 3 also includes a third side and a fourth side arranged oppositely, and a connecting plate 6 is provided on each of the third side and the fourth side, and the chute bottom plate 3 is installed on the frame 1 through the connecting plate 6.
[0054] When the sorting device is working, the sorting trolley 2 first moves to the feeding and packaging mechanism 91 to receive the materials provided by the feeding and packaging mechanism 91, and then the sorting trolley 2 moves with the materials to the designated position on the chute bottom plate 3, and then the sorting trolley 2 unloads the materials, and the materials pass through the chute bottom plate 3 and fall into the receiving mechanism 92 to complete the material dropping. In order to prevent the materials from falling into the gap between the sorting trolley 2 and the chute bottom plate 3 and ensure the smooth completion of the material dropping, a flexible baffle 5 is provided on the first side 311 of the chute bottom plate 3. The flexible baffle 5 not only helps to shorten the gap between the sorting trolley 2 and the chute bottom plate 3 and plays a role in preventing the falling of parts, but also can automatically rebound during the collision with the sorting trolley 2, and has the characteristic of not being easily damaged. Specifically, the flexible baffle 5 is made of a flexible material with good resilience such as silicone or rubber. In addition, light materials on the sorting trolley 2 are more likely to fall off than heavy materials. When light sorted objects unloaded by the sorting trolley 2 fall off, the light sorted objects will fall on the flexible baffle 5, and the flexible baffle 5 itself has a certain bearing capacity. The bearing performance of the flexible baffle 5 can also ensure that the sorted objects enter the chute bottom plate 3, ensuring the smooth completion of the material drop.
[0055] Furthermore, when the sorting trolley 2 needs to unload the material carried by itself onto the chute bottom plate 3, the height of the sorting trolley 2 is greater than the height of the first side. The height difference between the sorting trolley 2 and the chute bottom plate 3 can make the material leaving the sorting trolley 2 move in a parabolic motion, greatly increasing the possibility of the material falling onto the chute bottom plate 3.
[0056] A plurality of partitions 34 are arranged at intervals on the upper surface of the chute bottom plate 3, and a material drop chute 4 is formed between two adjacent partitions 34 and the chute bottom plate 3, and the sorting trolley 2 unloads the material carried by itself into the designated material drop chute 4. The material receiving mechanism 92 includes a material basket arranged below the material drop chute 4, and the material can automatically slide into the material basket along the material drop chute 4.
[0057] The form of the flexible stopper 5 is not limited, and may include a plurality of flexible pads arranged along the first side 311, or may include a plurality of flexible strips 51, as adopted in a specific embodiment of the present invention, and the plurality of flexible strips 51 are arranged at intervals on the first side 311. Compared with a whole piece of flexible pad, the plurality of flexible strips 51 can not only reduce the resistance encountered by the sorting trolley 2 during movement, but also reduce its own wear, and the overall service life is longer than that of the flexible pad.
[0058] In the above-mentioned embodiment using multiple flexible strips 51, Figure 3-7As shown, the chute bottom plate 3 includes a main plate body 31 and a bending portion 32 connected in an L shape. The main plate body 31 includes the aforementioned first side edge 311 and the second side edge 312, and the extension direction of the two is parallel to the length direction of the main plate body 31. The first side edge 311 is connected to the bending portion 32. A plurality of through holes 33 are also provided at the connection between the main plate body 31 and the bending portion 32, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first side edge 311. Figure 4-5 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a pressing plate 8 disposed below the main plate body 31, the pressing plate 8 includes a first plate body 81 and a second plate body 82 connected in an L shape, the first plate body 81 has a plurality of groups of through holes arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first plate body 81, wherein the length direction of the first plate body 81 is parallel to the extension direction of the first side edge 311; each group of through holes includes a first through hole 811 and a second through hole 812 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the first plate body 81. Figure 4-5 and Fig. 9 As shown, one end of the flexible strip 51 passes through the through hole 33, the second through hole 812 and the first through hole 811 in sequence to form a U-shaped portion 511. The second plate 82 is detachably connected to the bent portion 32. This arrangement can prevent the flexible strip 51 from falling off from the chute bottom plate 3 during use, making the installation structure more firm and stable.
[0059] Furthermore, if Figure 4-5 and Figure 7-8 As shown, a connecting hole 821 is formed on the second plate body 82, and a locking long hole 321 is formed on the bent portion 32. The locking long hole 321 extends along the width direction of the bent portion 32, and the inner diameter of the connecting hole 821 is smaller than the length of the locking long hole 321. The connecting hole 821 and the locking long hole 321 are connected by a fastener, which is specifically a bolt. By adjusting the position of the fastener in the locking long hole 321, the spacing between the first plate body 81 and the main plate body 31 can be changed, so that the flexible strips 51 of different sizes can be fixed on the chute bottom plate 3.
[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 7 are further provided at the bottom of the main board body 31, and the reinforcing ribs 7 specifically extend along the extension direction of the first side edge 311. This arrangement can increase the structural strength of the main board body 31, and help it to bear materials of different weights.
[0061] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
