DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] The utility model aims to provide an automatic material sorting device suitable for positioning milk slices, which can adjust the distance between milk slices by adjusting the speed difference between two adjacent conveyor belts.

[0031] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 The present embodiment provides an automatic material sorting device suitable for positioning milk slices, including a material dropping device 1, a primary conveyor belt 2, a material guiding device 3, a secondary conveyor belt 4, a tertiary conveyor belt 5, a driving unit, a primary infrared monitoring device 6, a secondary infrared monitoring device 7 and a control unit 8.

[0033] The blanking device 1 is used to output milk slices. The primary conveyor belt 2 is located at the lower side of the blanking device 1, and is used to receive the milk slices released by the blanking device 1 and convey them backward. The guide device 3 is located at the rear side of the primary conveyor belt 2, and is used to receive the milk slices output by the primary conveyor belt 2, and arrange the milk slices in a straight line along the front-to-back direction. The secondary conveyor belt 4 is located at the rear side of the guide device 3, and is used to receive the milk slices output by the guide device 3 and convey them backward. The tertiary conveyor belt 5 is located at the rear side of the secondary conveyor belt 4, and is used to receive the milk slices output by the secondary conveyor belt 4 and convey them backward. The driving unit is respectively connected to the primary conveyor belt 2, the secondary conveyor belt 4, and the tertiary conveyor belt 5 in transmission to drive the primary conveyor belt 2, the secondary conveyor belt 4, and the tertiary conveyor belt 5 to convey milk slices. The primary infrared monitoring device 6 is located at the upper side of the secondary conveyor belt 4, and is used to monitor the time interval between two milk slices adjacent to each other on the secondary conveyor belt 4 passing through the primary infrared monitoring device 6. The secondary infrared monitoring device 7 is located at the upper side of the tertiary conveyor belt 5, and is used to monitor the time interval between two milk slices adjacent to each other on the tertiary conveyor belt 5 passing through the secondary infrared monitoring device 7. The control unit 8 is electrically connected to the driving unit, the primary infrared monitoring device 6, and the secondary infrared monitoring device 7, respectively, so as to control the driving unit to adjust the conveying speed of the tertiary conveyor belt 5 according to the information sent back by the primary infrared monitoring device 6 and the secondary infrared monitoring device 7, so that the distance between two adjacent milk slices on the tertiary conveyor belt 5 is not less than the preset distance s.

[0034] The working principle of the automatic material sorting device for milk slice positioning in this embodiment is as follows:

[0035] The milk slices output by the dropping device 1 fall onto the primary conveyor belt 2 and are then conveyed to the guiding device 3 . The milk slices are arranged into a straight line along the front-to-back direction by the guiding device 3 and then moved to the secondary conveyor belt 4 .

[0036] The primary infrared monitoring device 6 can monitor the time interval t between two adjacent milk slices on the secondary conveyor belt 4 passing through the primary infrared monitoring device 6. Assuming that the conveying speed of the secondary conveyor belt 4 is v1 (the conveying speeds of the primary conveyor belt 2 and the secondary conveyor belt 4 generally remain unchanged), and the conveying speed of the tertiary conveyor belt 5 is v2, then v2 = (s-v1*t) / t+v1. The control unit 8 calculates according to the above formula to obtain the conveying speed v2 of the tertiary conveyor belt 5, and then sends a control instruction to the drive unit to adjust the conveying speed of the tertiary conveyor belt 5 to v2. It should be noted that t changes in real time, so the conveying speed v2 of the tertiary conveyor belt 5 also changes in real time.

[0037] As a possible example, in this embodiment, the material guide device 3 includes a support platform and a material dividing plate, the material dividing plate is vertically fixed to the upper surface of the support platform, and the material dividing plates include multiple and mutually parallel plates. The spacing between two adjacent material dividing plates is greater than the diameter of the milk slices and less than twice the diameter of the milk slices, so that the milk slices are arranged in a straight line along the front-to-back direction after passing between the two adjacent material dividing plates. According to different actual needs, those skilled in the art can also choose other types of material guide devices 3, as long as the milk slices can be arranged in a straight line along the front-to-back direction after passing through the material guide device 3.

[0038] As a possible example, in this embodiment, the material dividing plates include more than three, so that the milk slices are arranged in a plurality of straight lines along the front-to-back direction after passing through the material guiding device 3. The primary infrared monitoring device 6 and the secondary infrared monitoring device 7 monitor the milk slices on one of the straight lines. By dividing the milk slices into a plurality of straight lines, the speed at which the milk slices pass through the material guiding device 3 is increased. It should be noted that when the amount of milk slices is large, the average spacing between two adjacent milk slices on each straight line is similar, so the primary infrared monitoring device 6 and the secondary infrared monitoring device 7 only need to monitor the milk slices on one of the straight lines.

[0039] As a possible example, in this embodiment, the front end of the support platform is higher than the rear end, so that the milk slices can roll backward on the support platform under the action of gravity to prevent the milk slices from piling up on the support platform. It is understandable that a vibration motor can also be installed on the support platform to further prevent the milk slices from piling up.

[0040] As a possible example, in this embodiment, the front end of the primary conveyor belt 2 is higher than the rear end, so that the milk slices can roll backward on the primary conveyor belt 2 under the action of gravity (that is, the speed of the milk slices is greater than the conveying speed of the primary conveyor belt 2), thereby preventing the milk slices from accumulating on the primary conveyor belt 2.

[0041] As a possible example, in this embodiment, the blanking device 1 includes a blanking hopper 11 and a valve installed on the blanking hopper 11, the lower end of the blanking hopper 11 is a discharge port, and the valve is used to open and close the discharge port.

[0042] As a possible example, in this embodiment, the valve includes a valve plate 12 slidably mounted on the material discharge hopper 11, and the valve plate 12 has a through hole. When the valve plate 12 slides, the through hole can be directly opposite to the material discharge port or staggered from the material discharge port.

[0043] As a possible example, in this embodiment, the secondary conveyor belt 4 includes a horizontal section and an inclined section, the inclined section is located at the rear side of the horizontal section, the front end of the inclined section is higher than the rear end, the horizontal section and the inclined section are adjacent to each other, and the conveying speed is v1. When the milk slices are conveyed in the inclined section, they will not slide or roll relative to the inclined section due to the friction force.

[0044] This specification uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the utility model. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the utility model.
