[0002] An automatic sorting machine is a machine that sorts items according to pre-set computer instructions and delivers the sorted items to a designated location. With the development of laser scanning, barcode and computer control technology, the use of automatic sorting machines in logistics is becoming more and more common. The items are scanned by a laser scanner for their barcodes, or the sorting information is input into the computer's central processing unit through other automatic recognition methods, such as optical character reading devices, voice recognition input devices, etc. The computer compares the obtained item information with the pre-set information, and sends different picked items to specific sorting crossing positions to complete the sorting of items. The sorting crossing can temporarily store items that have not been taken away. When the sorting crossing is full, it is controlled by photoelectricity to prevent the sorted items from entering the sorting crossing.

[0003] In the prior art, the goods transmitted by the sorting conveyor belt will be sorted by the swing wheel sorter, and the sorted goods will be sorted out through the drop chute. However, due to the lack of a protective structure on the drop chute, and when some fragile items slide down through the drop chute, the items are prone to collision in the drop chute after sliding down, and the subsequently sorted items will also collide with the items in the drop chute, thereby causing damage to the items and affecting the sorting effect of the sorting device.

[0007] Preferably, a group of vertically symmetrical support frames are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top surface of the blanking chute, and the side panels are fixedly installed on the inner end walls of the vertically symmetrical support frames. A group of vertically symmetrical mounting holes are also opened on the left side wall of the side panel, and bearings are fixedly installed in the mounting holes.

[0008] Preferably, rotating rods are fixedly installed on the left and right side walls of the pulley respectively, and the rotating rods and bearings are interlaced and fixedly installed together, and a belt is also movably installed between the upper and lower symmetrical pulleys, and the drive motor is fixedly installed below the outer wall of the left side panel, and the drive motor is fixedly installed together with the rotating rod on the left side of the lower pulley.

[0009] Preferably, fixing blocks are fixedly mounted on the upper end of the top surface and the lower end of the bottom surface of the belt, respectively, and fixing holes are provided on the side walls of the fixing blocks.

[0010] Preferably, a group of bilaterally symmetrical connecting blocks are fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the baffle, and connecting holes corresponding to the fixing holes are opened on the side walls of the connecting blocks.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The utility model discloses a protective mechanism is provided to cooperate with the use of the upper sorting device. When the swing wheel sorting machine sorts the items and sends them into the blanking chute, the baffle plate located above will block the items. At this time, the driving motor drives the output end to drive the lower pulley to rotate through the rotating rod, and then drives the upper pulley to rotate through the belt, so that the baffle plate installed above the belt moves downward in the blanking chute with the rotation of the belt. In this way, the items are allowed to move in the blanking chute with the movement of the baffle plate, which can prevent the items from colliding in the blanking chute and play a role in assisting the sliding of the items. After the blanking is completed, the baffle plate installed on the other belt will move back to the upper part of the blanking chute, which can block the items that enter the blanking chute next, and avoid collision and damage between the items after they continuously enter the blanking chute. Therefore, the protective mechanism assists the items to slide down in the blanking chute in an interval manner, which not only can avoid the problem of collision and damage of the items, but also improves the sorting effect and practicality of the sorting device.

[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, in order to prevent the objects from colliding in the blanking chute 3 and causing damage by the protective mechanism 4, so as to protect the objects when they are dropped, a group of vertically symmetrical support frames 5 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top surface of the blanking chute 3, and the side panels 6 are fixedly installed on the inner end walls of the vertically symmetrical support frames 5. A group of vertically symmetrical mounting holes 7 are also opened on the left side wall of the side panels 6, and bearings 8 are fixedly installed in the holes of the mounting holes 7. Rotating rods 10 are fixedly installed on the left and right side walls of the pulley 9, and the rotating rods 10 and the bearings 8 are interlaced and fixedly installed together. A belt 11 is also movably installed between the wheels 9, a driving motor 12 is fixedly installed below the outer wall of the left side plate 6, and the driving motor 12 is fixedly installed together with the rotating rod 10 on the left side of the lower pulley 9, and the upper end of the top surface and the lower end of the bottom surface of the belt 11 are respectively fixedly installed with fixing blocks 13, and the side wall of the fixing block 13 is provided with a fixing hole 14, a group of left-right symmetrical connecting blocks 16 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the baffle 15, and the side wall of the connecting block 16 is provided with a connecting hole 17 corresponding to the fixing hole 14, a bolt 18 is inserted and installed in the connecting hole 17 and passes through the fixing hole 14, and a nut 19 is threadedly connected with the bolt 18;

[0022] The specific use principle of the protective mechanism 4 in conjunction with the sorting device is as follows: when the swing wheel sorter 2 transfers the items transported from the sorting conveyor belt 1 to the blanking chute 3 for blanking, it will be blocked by the baffle 15 located above the top and bottom surfaces of the belt 11. When the baffle 15 is installed, the fixed block 13 installed on the belt 11 is placed between the symmetrical connecting blocks 16 installed on the bottom surface of the baffle 15, and then the bolt 18 is inserted into the connecting hole 17 opened on the side wall of the connecting block 16, and the bolt 18 passes through the fixing hole 17 opened on the side wall of the fixed block 13 between the connecting blocks 16. Hole 14 is inserted into the nut 19, and the nut 19 is screwed into the bolt 18 and threadedly connected therewith, so that the baffle 15 can be connected and installed with the belt 11, and then, the drive motor 12 installed below the side wall of the side plate 6 installed by the support frame 5 on the left side of the top surface of the blanking chute 3 is turned on, and the drive motor 12 drives the output end to drive the rotating rods 10 installed on both sides of the pulley 9 below to rotate in the bearings 8 installed in the mounting holes 7 opened on the side walls of the symmetrical side plates 6. At this time, because the pulley 9 below and the pulley 9 above between the side plates 6 are movably connected to each other through the belt 11 Therefore, when the pulley 9 below rotates, it will synchronously drive the pulley 9 above to rotate through the belt 11, and the belt 11 will rotate between the upper and lower symmetrical pulleys 9, and during the rotation process, it will drive the baffle 15 above the bottom surface to move downward in the blanking chute 3. During the movement, the objects blocked by the baffle 15 will move synchronously downward in the blanking chute 3 with the movement of the baffle 15, so that the objects can be prevented from colliding in the blanking chute 3. At the same time, another baffle 15 installed on the belt 11 will move from the bottom to the top, and the baffle 15 below will drive the objects After the item moves to the bottom of the blanking chute 3, another baffle 15 will move to the top, and then the item can be taken out. When the baffle 15 at the bottom moves to the upper bottom with the rotation of the belt 11, the baffle 15 at the top will move to the bottom and block the item to prevent the item from continuously entering the blanking chute 3 and colliding with the previous item. This reciprocating process helps the item slide down in the blanking chute 3 by means of intervals, which not only avoids the problem of collision and damage of the items, but also improves the sorting effect and practicality of the sorting device.
