[0031] It should be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various information in this article, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this article, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein can be interpreted as "at the time of..." or "when..." or "in response to determination".

[0038] Optionally, the material 20 may be a wall switch.

[0042] Optionally, the first direction X is a front-to-back direction, and the second direction Y is a vertical direction, that is, the first track 231 and the second track 232 are arranged vertically and spaced apart from each other.

[0043] The material sorting device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application arranges the first track 231 and the second track 232 at intervals along the first direction X, and the first material bin 210 and the second material bin 220 move along the first track 231 and the second track 232 respectively, so that the first material bin 210 and the second material bin 220 will not affect each other during alternating transportation, and the floor space of the discharge mechanism 200 is not increased.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the driving assembly 240 includes a first driving member 241 and a second driving member 242, wherein the first driving member 241 is connected to the first material bin 210 and is used to drive the first material bin 210 to move along the first track 231. The second driving member 242 is connected to the second material bin 220 and is used to drive the second material bin 220 to move along the second track.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, the discharging mechanism 200 further includes a third driving member 250 , which is connected to the second material bin 220 , and is used to drive the second material bin 220 to move along the second direction Y.

[0046] Optionally, the first driving member 241, the second driving member 242 and the third driving member 250 may be driving components such as motors and cylinders.

[0047] Optionally, the two first rails 231 are arranged at intervals along the third direction (Z direction in the figure), the first bin 210 is slidably connected to the two first rails 231 at the same time, the spacing between the two first rails 231 is greater than the width of the second bin 220 in the third direction Z, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are arranged to intersect each other. The third direction Z is the left-right direction, and the spacing between the two first rails 231 is greater than the width of the second bin 220, so that when the third driving member 250 drives the second bin 220 to move up and down along the second direction Y, the second bin 220 and the first rail 231 will not interfere with each other.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the discharging mechanism 200 also includes a bottom plate 260, which is slidably connected to the second track 232, and the second material bin 220 is movably connected to the bottom plate 260. The second material bin 220 is on the second track through the bottom plate 260, and the third driving member 250 is used to drive the second material bin 220 to move along the second direction Y relative to the bottom plate 260.

[0049] Optionally, the second driving member 242 is connected to the bottom plate 260 , and the second driving member drives the bottom plate 260 to slide along the second track 232 , thereby driving the second silo 220 on the bottom plate 260 to slide along the second track 232 .

[0050] Optionally, the third driving member 250 is mounted on the base plate 260 and moves synchronously with the base plate 260 .

Then the third driving member 250 drives the second bin 220 to move along the second direction Y until the second bin 220 is located at the discharging station of the material sorting mechanism 100, at which time the second bin 220 is flush with the first track 231. The second bin 220 takes over the loading of the material 20, and after the second bin 220 is full, the third driving member 250 drives the second bin 220 to move away from the first track 231 along the second direction Y, and then the second driving member 242 drives the bottom plate 260 and the second bin 220 to move along the second track 232 together. The first silo 210 that has completed the transfer is driven by the first driving member 241 and returns to the discharge station of the material sorting mechanism 100 to continue loading materials, thereby realizing the colloid loading and transfer of the first silo 210 and the second silo 220, improving the material sorting efficiency of the material sorting device 10, and preparing materials for automatic packaging.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the material sorting mechanism and materials provided in the embodiment of the present application.

The supporting plate 120 is used to support the material 20 , and the supporting plate 120 is rotatably connected to the base 110 via the rotating shaft 130 .

[0054] Optionally, the material sorting mechanism 100 further includes a fourth driving member 140, which is connected to the supporting plate 120 and is used to drive the supporting plate 120 to rotate around the base 110. The fourth driving member 140 can be a driving member such as a motor or a cylinder.

[0055] Optionally, the material sorting mechanism 100 further includes a first push plate 150 and a material guide trough 160. When the material sorting mechanism 100 is in use, the material 20 is first placed horizontally on the support plate 120, and then the fourth driving member 140 drives the support plate 120 to rotate around the rotating shaft 130, so that the support plate 120 is tilted, and the material 20 on the support plate 120 falls due to gravity. At the same time, due to the tilt of the support plate 120, the material 20 changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state after falling. Finally, the first push plate 150 pushes the vertical material 20 through the material guide trough 160 and enters the first bin 210 or the second bin 220.

[0056] Optionally, two supporting plates 120 are arranged side by side and opposite to each other, and two materials 20 are placed on the two supporting plates 120 at the same time. The two supporting plates 120 are turned over synchronously, so that the two materials 20 fall vertically at the same time and are pushed into the same silo by the first push plate 150, and the two materials 20 are placed side by side in the silo.

[0057] The material sorting device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, by providing a support plate 120 and a fourth driving member 140 for driving the support plate 120 to rotate, enables the support plate 120 to change the material 20 from a horizontal position to a vertical position when rotating, thereby realizing automatic material sorting and preparing the materials for automatic packaging.

[0061] Optionally, the material sorting device 10 further includes a guide plate 340 and a blocking plate 350. The guide plate 340 is located on both sides of the first assembly line 310 and / or the second assembly line 320. The guide plate 340 is used to prevent the material 20 from falling from the assembly line. The blocking plate 350 is located on the transport path of the second assembly line 320. The blocking plate 350 is used to intercept the material 20 so that the material 20 stops at a preset position.

[0062] The material sorting device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first assembly line 310 and a second assembly line 320, and the transfer speed of the first assembly line 310 is lower than the transfer speed of the second assembly line 320, so that the material 20 of the previous process is pulled to a distance by differential speed to prevent the material 20 from piling up.

[0063] In some optional embodiments, the feeding mechanism 300 further includes a second push plate 360 ​​and a fifth driving member 370, wherein the fifth driving member 370 is connected to the second push plate 360, and the fifth driving member 370 is used to drive the second push plate to move and thus push the material 20 from the second assembly line 320 to the material sorting mechanism 100. The fifth driving member 370 can be a driving member such as a motor or a cylinder.

[0064] Optionally, two second push plates 360 are arranged in parallel on one side of the second assembly line 320. When two materials 20 move to the second assembly line 320 and are intercepted at a preset position by the blocking plate 350, the two second push plates 360 push the two materials from the second assembly line 320 to the two supporting plates 120. Then the supporting plates 120 rotate, so that the two materials 20 are placed vertically instead of horizontally and fall into the silo.
