[0033] Example 1

[0034] This embodiment provides a sorting structure to solve the problem in the related art that the sorting equipment occupies a large area, has a complex structure, and has a single function, which makes it inconvenient to use.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 3A sorting structure includes a conveying component 100, a carrying component 200 and a screening component 300. The conveying component 100 includes a conveying surface, and the conveying component 100 is used to convey the objects to be sorted. The carrying component 200 includes a telescopic member 220 and a carrier 210. The telescopic member 220 is arranged on the conveying surface, and the telescopic direction of the telescopic member 220 is arranged perpendicular to the conveying surface. The carrier 210 is hingedly mounted on the telescopic member 220, and the hinge is arranged at the end of the carrier 210. The screening component 300 is arranged on a side of the conveying component 100 close to the telescopic member 220, and the screening component 300 abuts against the edge of the carrier 210, and the screening component 300 can push the carrier 210 along the telescopic direction of the telescopic member 220.

[0036] Specifically, when the sorting structure of this embodiment is used, the items to be sorted are placed on the object carrier 210 of the carrying assembly 200 and transported by the conveying assembly 100 to the target location.

[0037] During the conveying process, the screening component 300 is set at the position where sorting is required. When the items conveyed by the conveying component 100 pass through the position of the screening component 300, if the items passing through are items that need to be sorted, the screening component 300 will be activated to push the edge of the object carrier 210 close to the screening component 300, and push the object carrier 210 to a tilted state. The items on the object carrier 210 will slide down under the action of gravity and fall into the sorting area. If the items passing through do not need to be sorted, the screening component 300 will remain closed, and the conveying component 100 will continue to transport the items until they are transported to the target position, and the sorting operation can be completed.

[0038] The sorting structure provided in this embodiment has a simple structure, can be used for goods of various types and sizes, is easy to use, occupies a small area, is easy to operate, is convenient for daily inspection and maintenance, and has strong practicality.

[0039] It should be noted that, during the conveying process of the conveying assembly 100, multiple screening assemblies 300 can be set at any different positions. In this way, according to actual use, multiple screening assemblies 300 can be used to screen and sort different types of items, thereby improving the practicality of this embodiment; multiple screening assemblies 300 can also be used to sort the same items in sequence, thereby alleviating the working pressure of a single screening assembly 300, enabling the conveying assembly 100 to transport more items, thereby improving the working efficiency of this embodiment.

[0040] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 4As shown, the bearing assembly 200 further includes a base 230, the base 230 is arranged on the conveying surface, and the telescopic member 220 is installed on the base 230. By the base 230 cooperating with the conveying surface, the object-carrying member 210 is arranged on the base 230 through the telescopic member 220, which can improve the reliability of the cooperation between the base 230 and the conveying assembly 100, that is, make the cooperation between the bearing assembly 200 and the conveying assembly 100 more stable and reliable, and improve the rationality of the structure of this embodiment.

[0041] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 4 As shown, a telescopic groove is provided on the base 230, and the telescopic member 220 includes a connecting rod, which can be slidably inserted into the telescopic groove. The carrier 210 is hingedly mounted on the end of the connecting rod away from the base 230. In the working process of this embodiment, when the screening component 300 pushes the edge of the carrier 210, the screening component 300 pushes the carrier 210, and the carrier 210 drives the connecting rod to move upward, and the connecting rod slides in the telescopic groove to ensure smooth up and down movement. The carrier 210 is hingedly mounted with the connecting rod to ensure that the carrier 210 and the connecting rod can deflect and tilt normally, so that the carrier 210 can tilt normally, so that the items to be sorted on the carrier 210 slide down to the sorting area under the action of gravity, ensuring that this embodiment can work normally, and the structure is simple, which improves the rationality of the structure of this embodiment.

[0042] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 4 As shown, at least two telescopic members 220 are arranged between the base 230 and the object carrier 210, and the multiple telescopic members 220 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the object carrier 210. Both ends of the object carrier 210 are hingedly connected to the telescopic members 220, which can further ensure that when the object carrier 210 is tilted, there will be no interference with the telescopic members 220, thereby ensuring the reliability of the structure of this embodiment.

[0043] It should be noted that telescopic parts 220 are provided at both ends of the object carrier 210, that is, the object carrier 210 can be tilted to either side. In this way, when the present embodiment is in use, the screening component 300 can be provided at any position on both sides of the conveying component 100 according to actual conditions, and the object carrier 210 can be controlled by the screening component 300 to realize the sorting function. In actual use, the screening component 300 can be provided at appropriate positions on both sides of the conveying component 100, which further improves the overall flexibility of the present embodiment and makes the present embodiment easy to use. In addition, the space utilization rate of the present embodiment is also improved, so that the present embodiment can realize the sorting of a variety of different items or the sorting of a large number of items in a limited space, and has strong practicality.

[0044] In some embodiments, for example, please refer to Figure 4The base 230 is provided with a reset element, which is arranged between the telescopic slot and the connecting rod. The reset element can automatically reset the connecting rod after the action. The reset element is arranged on the base 230, so that when the object carrier 210 is pushed by the screening component 300 and tilts, and the items to be sorted on the object carrier 210 fall off, the conveying component 100 drives the object carrier 210 to continue to move, and after the object carrier 210 is separated from the screening component 300, the screening component 300 no longer abuts against the object carrier 210, and the reset element drives the object carrier 210 to return to the initial position, so as to facilitate the normal operation of the subsequent object carrier 210.

[0045] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 4 As shown, the reset element includes a spring, which is arranged in the telescopic slot. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic slot, and the end of the spring away from the telescopic slot is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod. In this way, when the screening component 300 pushes the object carrier 210, the object carrier 210 will pull the spring through the connecting rod to store force for the spring; when the screening component 300 remains in contact with the object carrier 210, the spring remains in a stretched state and does not move, and the conveying component 100 continues to move. After the object carrier 210 is separated from the screening component 300, the spring resets, drives the object carrier 210 back to the initial position, and continues to perform subsequent operations.

[0046] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 4 As shown, the screening assembly 300 includes a pusher and a power member, and the power member is arranged on a side of the conveying assembly 100 close to the telescopic member 220. The pusher can be slidably mounted on the power member, and the end of the pusher away from the power member abuts against the edge of the object carrier 210. When the screening assembly 300 needs to be used for sorting, the operator controls the power member to start, so that the power member drives the pusher to move, so as to push the object carrier 210 for sorting.

[0047] It should be noted that the sorting operation can be performed by an operator, that is, when the conveying component 100 drives the items to be sorted to move to the screening component 300, if sorting is required, the operator can control the screening component 300 to start.

[0048] It is understandable that the sorting operation can also be completed automatically. Specifically, a detection module is correspondingly arranged at the screening component 300, and the detection module and the screening component 300 are both electrically connected to the data processing module. When the detection module detects that the items to be sorted transported by the conveying component 100 need to be sorted, the detection module sends a signal to the data processing module. After receiving the signal, the data processing module controls the screening component 300 to operate and sort the items to be sorted, thereby further improving the practicality of this embodiment and reducing the labor intensity of the sorting operation.

[0049] In some embodiments, illustratively, the power member is set as a cylinder 320, and the push member is set as a push rod 310, and the push rod 310 can be slidably mounted on the cylinder 320. When the cylinder 320 is started, the cylinder 320 can push the push rod 310 out, and the object carrier 210 is pushed by the push rod 310, so that the object carrier 210 is tilted to perform sorting operations. The structure is simple, the cost is low, and it is convenient and practical. Both the cylinder 320 and the push rod 310 are common equipment. When the embodiment needs regular inspection or maintenance, if the equipment fails, it is also easy to repair or replace, thereby extending the service life of the embodiment.

[0050] In some embodiments, for example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the conveying assembly 100 is configured as an annular conveyor belt, the object carrier 210 is configured as a long strip plate, and the axis of the object carrier 210 is configured perpendicular to the conveying direction of the annular conveyor belt. The conveying assembly 100 is configured as an annular conveyor belt. During use, one end of the annular conveyor belt is used as a loading point, and the objects to be sorted can be continuously transported through the annular conveyor belt. During the conveying process, according to the type and size of the conveyed objects, any number of screening assemblies 300 can be adaptively arranged on the side of the annular conveyor belt to ensure that the sorting operation can be carried out normally, further improving the practicality of this embodiment.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] This embodiment also provides a sorting device, including a frame 400 and the sorting structure of any one of the above embodiments, the conveying component 100 is installed on the frame 400, and a plurality of carriers 210 are evenly distributed on the conveying surface along the conveying direction of the conveying component 100.

[0053] The sorting device of this embodiment includes the sorting structure in any of the above embodiments, which also includes all the beneficial effects of the sorting structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] Specifically, in the sorting device of this embodiment, a plurality of carriers 210 are evenly distributed on the conveying component 100, which can greatly improve the conveying capacity of this embodiment. Correspondingly, the sorting efficiency will also be improved, making this embodiment more practical.

[0055] It should be noted that, in the sorting device of this embodiment, any object carrier 210 is independent of other object carriers 210 and does not interfere with each other during operation, thereby ensuring the sorting capability of the screening component 300 and enabling this embodiment to work normally.

[0056] In addition, the screening component 300 cooperates with the push rod 310 through the cylinder 320 to push the object carrier 210 to a suitable position to complete the sorting action. In this embodiment, a single push rod 310 cooperates with a single object carrier 210 to form a corresponding relationship. When the screening component 300 is in motion and the cylinder 320 pushes the push rod 310 out, it only pushes one object carrier 210 to tilt. Adaptively, according to the type, size, volume, etc. of the objects to be sorted, multiple push rods 310 are set on the cylinder 320, and the multiple push rods 310 can act synchronously to ensure that the push rods 310 can push a single or multiple objects carriers 210, so that the objects to be sorted on the object carrier 210 can slide smoothly along the object carrier 210, thereby ensuring the sorting capacity of this embodiment.

[0057] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
