DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.
[0019] The present application embodiment discloses a material conveying device for a color sorter. Figure 1-3 , a material conveying device of a color sorter, comprising a fixed frame 1, the bottom of the inner cavity of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly connected to a color sorter body 2 by bolts, the top of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly connected to a storage bin 3 by bolts, one side of the storage bin 3 is fixedly connected to a first motor 4 by bolts, the first motor 4 is fixedly connected to a stirring frame 5 by an output shaft, the end of the stirring frame 5 away from the first motor 4 rotates through the storage bin 3 and is rotatably connected to the inner cavity side wall of the storage bin 3 by a rotating shaft, the bottom of the storage bin 3 is fixedly connected to a hopper 6 by bolts, a conveying member is provided at the bottom of the hopper 6, and the conveying member is arranged inside the fixed frame 1;
[0020] By adopting the above technical scheme, the storage bin 3 can be used to store materials. When the materials are placed in the storage bin 3, they can be driven by the first motor 4, thereby driving the stirring frame 5 to rotate, which can not only make the materials fall more evenly when the materials are discharged through the receiving hopper 6, but also utilize the rapid rotation of the stirring frame 5 to break up the agglomerated materials, thereby preventing the agglomerated materials from directly entering the color sorter body 2 and affecting the sorting quality. At the same time, the conveying member provided at the bottom of the receiving hopper 6 can be used to convey the materials to the color sorter body 2 for sorting.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The conveying member includes a second motor 7, a rotating wheel 8, a push-pull rod 9, a sliding frame 10, a sliding block 11, a feeding box 12, a feeding pipe 13, a lower baffle 14, a connecting cover 15 and an upper baffle 16. The top of the inner cavity of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly connected with two sets of second motors 7 by bolts. The two sets of second motors 7 are fixedly connected with the rotating wheel 8 through the output shaft. The two sets of rotating wheels 8 are rotatably connected to the push-pull rod 9 on the side away from the second motor 7 through the rotating shaft. The two sets of push-pull rods 9 are rotatably connected to the sliding block 11 on the end away from the rotating wheel 8 through the rotating shaft. The surface of the two sets of sliding blocks 11 The surfaces are slidably connected with a sliding frame 10, the surfaces of the two groups of sliding frames 10 are fixedly connected to the inner cavity side wall of the fixed frame 1 by bolts, the inner cavity side wall of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly connected with a lower baffle 14 by bolts, the top of the lower baffle 14 is provided with a connecting cover 15, the top of the connecting cover 15 is rotatably connected with a feeding pipe 13 through a rotating shaft, the top of the feeding pipe 13 is fixedly connected with a feeding box 12 by bolts, one side of the feeding box 12 is fixedly connected with an upper baffle 16 by bolts, and both sides of the feeding box 12 are fixedly connected to the side of the sliding block 11 away from the push-pull rod 9 by bolts;
[0022] By adopting the above technical scheme, the material can directly enter the feeding box 12 through the receiving hopper 6. When the corresponding amount of material is connected to the feeding box 12, it can be driven synchronously by the two sets of second motors 7 to drive the two sets of rotating wheels 8 to rotate synchronously. Because its sliding block 11 is limited by its sliding frame 10, the push-pull rod 9 connected to one side of its rotating wheel 8 can drive its two sets of sliding blocks 11 to move synchronously, thereby driving the feeding box 12 that has received the material to move. At this time, the upper baffle 16 fixedly connected to one side of the feeding box 12 can move to the bottom of the receiving hopper 6 to block the discharge port of the receiving hopper 6 to prevent material overflow. When the feeding box 12 continues to move and the lower baffle 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the feeding box 12, it can move to the bottom of the receiving hopper 6 to block the discharge port of the receiving hopper 6 to prevent material from overflowing. When the connecting cover 15 rotatably connected to the bottom of the material pipe 13 moves out of the position of the lower baffle 14, the connecting cover 15 is affected by the material and its own gravity and can be directly opened. The position where the connecting cover 15 and the discharge pipe 13 are connected by the rotating shaft is on the side away from the second motor 7. Therefore, when the connecting cover 15 is opened, after the material is transported and discharged through the discharge pipe 13, the two sets of second motors 7 rotate again, and the feeding box 12 can be driven by the sliding frame 10 to move to the position of the receiving hopper 6, so that the connecting cover 15 is blocked by the lower baffle 14, and the connecting cover 15 can be rotated to close it, and then the material can be received through the feeding box 12 again, and the material transportation and supply are repeated.
[0023] The implementation principle of the material conveying device of the color sorter in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the storage bin 3 can be used to store materials. When the materials are placed in the storage bin 3, they can be driven by the first motor 4, thereby driving the stirring frame 5 to rotate, which can not only make the materials fall more evenly when they are discharged through the receiving hopper 6, but also utilize the rapid rotation of the stirring frame 5 to break up the agglomerated materials, thereby preventing the agglomerated materials from directly entering the color sorter body 2, thereby affecting the sorting quality. The materials can pass through the receiving hopper 6. Directly enter the feeding box 12. When the corresponding amount of material is connected to the feeding box 12, it can be driven synchronously by the two sets of second motors 7 to drive the two sets of rotating wheels 8 to rotate synchronously. Because its sliding block 11 is limited by its sliding frame 10, the push-pull rod 9 connected to the rotation of one side of the rotating wheel 8 can drive the two sets of sliding blocks 11 to move synchronously, thereby driving the feeding box 12 that has received the material to move. At this time, the upper baffle 16 fixedly connected to one side of the feeding box 12 can be moved to the bottom of the receiving hopper 6, and the discharge port of the receiving hopper 6 is opened. The connecting cover 15 is connected to the bottom of the feeding tube 13 and is blocked to prevent the material from overflowing. When the feeding box 12 continues to move and the connecting cover 15 connected to the bottom of the feeding tube 13 rotates to move out of the position of the lower baffle 14, the connecting cover 15 is directly opened by the material and its own gravity. The position where the connecting cover 15 and the feeding tube 13 are connected by the rotating shaft is far away from the second motor 7. Therefore, when the connecting cover 15 is opened, the material is transported through the feeding tube 13. After the unloading is completed, the two sets of second motors 7 rotate again, and the feeding box 12 can be driven by the sliding frame 10 to move to the position of the receiving hopper 6. The first motor 4 and the two sets of second motors 7 are stepper motors. Stepper motors are a type of motor that converts electrical pulse signals into mechanical displacement or rotation. They have many characteristics, including self-locking and adjustable speed functions. The working principle of stepper motors is to use electrical pulse signals to control the motor's rotor to rotate at a certain step angle. Its internal structure usually includes a stator and a rotor, wherein the stator includes a plurality of electromagnetic coils, and the rotor includes a plurality of magnetic poles. When current passes through the stator coil, a magnetic field is generated, causing the magnetic poles on the rotor to be attracted or repelled, thereby causing the rotor to rotate at a certain step angle. The stepper motor has a self-locking characteristic, that is, when the motor stops receiving electrical pulse signals, the rotor will maintain its current position and will not rotate spontaneously.This is because the rotor structure and magnetic field distribution of the stepper motor make the rotor stay at the nearest magnetic pole position when the input current stops, and will not continue to rotate due to inertia. The speed of the stepper motor can be achieved by adjusting the frequency of the electric pulse signal. Generally, the higher the frequency of the electric pulse signal provided to the stepper motor, the faster the motor speed. Therefore, the speed of the stepper motor can be adjusted by controlling the frequency of the electric pulse signal, thereby realizing the adjustable speed function. The model can be selected as SC42, and the controller for the motor can be selected as PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). PLC can accurately control the speed, direction and position of the stepper motor. The control of the stepper motor usually involves the output of precise pulse signals, which determine the number of steps and speed of the motor. PLC can generate these pulse signals and control the motor through the stepper motor driver. The advanced timing and counting functions of PLC make it very suitable for this kind of precise control. When controlling the stepper motor, the PLC program will send a specific number and frequency of pulse signals to the stepper motor driver according to the application requirements, and the driver will drive the stepper motor to rotate according to the received pulses. By adjusting the frequency of the pulse signal, the speed of the stepper motor can be controlled; by changing the total number of pulses, the angle or position of the stepper motor can be controlled; by changing the output order of the pulse signal, the rotation direction of the motor can be controlled. The PLC controller model can be CTSC-100. Because its PLC controller and stepper motor are both equipment in the existing technical field, they will not be described in detail here. The overall material conveying speed and the amount of material conveyed each time can be controlled according to the material sorting requirements and actual working conditions. The movement speed of the feed box 12 and related components can be controlled by the controller and other equipment to control the motor, thereby controlling its speed, etc. The overall operation is simple and easy to use, and the agglomerated materials can be broken up to avoid affecting the direct entry into the color sorter and affecting its sorting effect. The amount of material conveyed to the color sorter each time can be effectively controlled to avoid excessive or insufficient material conveying. It can not only reduce the additional energy consumption of the color sorter and reduce its use cost, but also further improve the sorting quality of its materials.
