[0021] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 A step-type conveying and material-selecting brush handle sorting mechanism comprises a transport mechanism 1 for transporting brush handles. The brush handles are transported by the transport mechanism 1 and then sent to a transfer mechanism 2. The transfer mechanism 2 is used to transfer the brush handles to a step-type transport mechanism 3. The step-type transport mechanism 3 is used to separate the brush handles to ensure that there is only one brush handle on each step of the step-type transport mechanism 3. The transport mechanism 1 is a conveyor belt 11. During transportation, the brush handles are placed on the conveyor belt 11, and the conveyor belt 11 drives the brush handles placed thereon until the brush handles are transported to the transfer mechanism 2. The transport mechanism 2 is a transport conveyor belt 21, which drives the brush handle placed thereon until the brush handle is transported to the stepped transport mechanism 3. The stepped transport mechanism 3 includes an outer step slider 31 and an inner step slider 32. Each step of the outer step slider 31 and the inner step slider 32 only transports a single brush handle. The inner step slider 32 can slide relative to the outer step slider 31. When the inner step slider 32 moves, it drives the brush handle on its step to move to the next step on the outer step slider 31.

[0023] When the existing handle sorting machine sorts the toothbrush handles, the toothbrush handles are very messy and cannot be neatly put into the next process. In view of this, the working principle of the utility model is as follows: first, the brush handles are transported by the conveyor belt 11, and the conveyor belt 11 transports the brush handles from the starting point to the transfer mechanism 2. The transfer mechanism 2 is composed of a transfer conveyor belt 21, which takes the brush handles from the conveyor belt 11 and continues to transport them to the stepped transport mechanism 3. In the stepped transport mechanism 3, the brush handles are separated to ensure that only one brush handle is placed on each step. The stepped transport mechanism 3 is composed of an outer step slider 31 and an inner step slider 32, and each step is designed to transport a single brush handle. The inner step slider 32 can slide relative to the outer step slider 31. When the inner step slider 32 moves, it drives the brush handle on it to move along the step to the next step of the outer step slider 31. In this way, the brush handles are separated and transported in an orderly manner in the stepped transport mechanism 3, ensuring that each brush handle can independently perform the next step of processing or packaging.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 A separation roller 4 is provided at the junction of the transport mechanism 1 and the transfer mechanism 2, and a snap-fit ​​groove 41 is provided on the separation roller 4. The snap-fit ​​groove 41 is used to accommodate the brush handles transported by the transport mechanism 1. The brush handles accumulated on the conveyor belt 11 are separated by the separation roller 4 to prevent excessive brush handles from being transported to the transfer mechanism 2.

[0025] In the step-type conveying and material-selecting brush handle sorting mechanism, a separation roller 4 is designed at the junction of the transport mechanism 1 and the transfer mechanism 2, and a snap-in groove 41 is provided on the roller. The function of the snap-in groove 41 is to accommodate and temporarily fix the brush handles transported by the transport mechanism 1. When the brush handles are transported to the separation roller 4, they will be accommodated by the snap-in groove 41, thereby realizing the temporary stay and separation of the brush handles. This process effectively prevents the accumulation of brush handles during transportation, ensuring that only an appropriate amount of brush handles are transported one by one to the transfer mechanism 2. In this way, the separation roller 4 not only ensures the orderly transportation of the brush handles, but also avoids excessive brush handles from being transported to the transfer mechanism 2 at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the entire conveying system.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 : A material discharge slope 5 is provided between the transfer mechanism 2 and the stepped transport mechanism 3, and the material discharge slope 5 is used to ensure that the brush handle can be guided to the stepped transport mechanism 3.

[0027] In the step-type conveying and material-diverting brush handle sorting mechanism, a material discharge slope 5 is provided between the transfer mechanism 2 and the step-type transport mechanism 3. The transfer conveyor belt 21 transports the brush handle to the step-type transport mechanism 3. At this time, the material discharge slope 5 serves to guide the brush handle to smoothly transition from the transfer conveyor belt 21 to the starting position of the step-type transport mechanism 3. The design of the slope ensures the stability and accuracy of the brush handle during the transfer process, and prevents the brush handle from rolling or misaligning when entering the step-type transport mechanism 3, thereby ensuring that the brush handle can be correctly placed on each step of the step-type transport mechanism 3, providing a guarantee for subsequent separation and orderly transportation. Guided by the material discharge slope 5, the brush handle can smoothly enter the step-type transport mechanism 3, achieving efficient sorting and transportation.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 : A limit baffle 6 is provided on the unloading slope 5, and the limit baffle 6 is used to ensure that only one brush handle passes through the unloading slope 5 to the stepped transport mechanism 3 each time.

[0029] In the step-type conveying and material-diverting brush handle sorting mechanism, a limit baffle 6 is provided on the unloading ramp 5. The main function of this limit baffle 6 is to position and limit the brush handle in the process of sliding from the transfer mechanism 2 to the step-type conveying mechanism 3 through the unloading ramp 5. The limit baffle 6 ensures that only one brush handle can enter the step-type conveying mechanism 3 through the ramp at a time, preventing multiple brush handles from sliding in at the same time and causing confusion or blockage. In this way, even in the case of high-speed conveying, the orderly separation and conveying of the brush handles can be guaranteed. The design of the limit baffle 6 improves the efficiency and accuracy of the entire device's conveying, ensuring that the step-type conveying mechanism 3 can stably receive and convey a single brush handle, thereby achieving an efficient brush handle sorting and conveying process.

[0030] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 : A driving mechanism 7 is provided on the inner step slider 32 , and the driving mechanism 7 is a cylinder 71 , and a telescopic rod of the cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the inner step slider 32 .

[0031] In the step-type conveying and material-selecting brush handle sorting mechanism, a driving mechanism 7, specifically a cylinder 71, is arranged on the inner step slider 32. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the inner step slider 32, which means that when the cylinder 71 is working, the telescopic action of the telescopic rod will be directly transmitted to the inner step slider 32. The cylinder 71 controls the change of air pressure inside it to achieve the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod, thereby driving the inner step slider 32 to move accordingly in the step-type transport mechanism 3. When the telescopic rod of the cylinder 71 is extended, the inner step slider 32 will move forward along the track of the ladder, driving the brush handle on the upper step to move forward to the adjacent step of the outer step slider 31. When the telescopic rod is retracted, the inner step slider 32 moves backward to make room for the next brush handle to enter. Driven by the cylinder 71, the inner step slider 32 can accurately control the orderly conveying and separation of the brush handle in the step-type transport mechanism 3, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of the entire conveying process.

[0032] A toothbrush hot stamping integrated machine comprises a stepped conveying and brush handle arranging mechanism. The arranged brush handle is processed by the toothbrush hot stamping integrated machine.

[0033] First, the brush handles are transported and sorted in an orderly manner through a stepped conveying and brush handle sorting mechanism to ensure that each brush handle can enter the processing area of ​​the toothbrush hot stamping machine individually. The conveyor belt 11, transfer conveyor belt 21, unloading slope 5 and limit baffle 6 in the sorting mechanism work together to ensure that the brush handles can be transported to the hot stamping area with the correct posture and interval. In the toothbrush hot stamping machine, the sorted brush handles will pass through a specific hot stamping head, which can perform hot stamping on the brush handles, such as printing trademarks, patterns or text. The hot stamping process may involve hot pressing or thermal transfer technology to ensure the clarity and durability of the hot stamping pattern. After the hot stamping, the brush handle continues to move along the conveying path and enters the next production link. The design of the entire toothbrush hot stamping machine is to achieve automation and high efficiency in the hot stamping process of the brush handle, reduce manual intervention, and improve production quality and speed.

[0034] The above embodiments only express one or several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
