[0029] The tilt drive mechanism 2 drives the oblique support 3 to adjust the tilt range, so that the packaging container inside the material sorting channel 10 slides down to the lower end of the material sorting channel 10 under the action of gravity.

[0030] In this embodiment, the tilt drive mechanism 2 also includes a driving hand wheel 11, a first transmission seat 12 and a second transmission seat 13; the first transmission seat 12 and the second transmission seat 13 are both fixed above the mounting seat 1; one end of the transmission screw 6 is connected to the first transmission seat 12, and the other end of the transmission screw 6 is connected to the second transmission seat 13; the driving hand wheel 11 is connected to the end of the transmission screw 6.

[0031] Specifically, the contact position between the transmission screw 6 and the first transmission seat 12, and the contact position between the transmission screw 6 and the second transmission seat 13 are equipped with bearings, and the transmission screw 6 can be driven to rotate by rotating the driving hand wheel 11, and the rotation of the transmission screw 6 realizes the reciprocating movement of the transmission block 5. The reciprocating movement of the transmission block 5 can drive the transmission connecting rod 7 to swing, and the swing of the transmission connecting rod 7 drives the oblique bracket 3 to adjust the tilting range.

[0032] In this embodiment, the tilt drive mechanism 2 further includes a first guide rod 14 and a second guide rod 15; the first guide rod 14 and the second guide rod 15 both pass through the transmission block 5; the first guide rod 14 and the second guide rod 15 are located on both sides of the transmission screw 6; the first guide rod 14 is fixed above the mounting base 1 through a first fixing seat 16, and the second guide rod 15 is fixed above the mounting base 1 through a second fixing seat 17. The first guide rod 14 and the second guide rod 15 can limit the moving direction of the transmission block 5, prevent the transmission block 5 from rotating, and ensure that the moving direction of the transmission block 5 does not deviate.

[0033] In this embodiment, the transmission connecting rod 7 is provided with two pieces, and the two transmission connecting rods 7 are symmetrically hinged on both sides of the transmission block 5; two pairs of first hinge seats 18 are symmetrically provided at the bottom of the oblique bracket 3, and the transmission connecting rod 7 is hinged to the bottom of the oblique bracket 3 through the first hinge seat 18; the upper end edge of the mounting seat 1 is provided with a second hinge seat 19, and the bottom end of the oblique bracket 3 is hinged to the edge of the mounting seat 1 through the second hinge seat 19.

[0034] Specifically, the two pairs of transmission links 7, driven by the transmission block 5, can drive the oblique bracket 3 to be tilted and adjusted through the first articulated seat 18. During the tilt adjustment process of the oblique bracket 3, the second articulated seat 19 is swung relative to the mounting seat 1 to ensure that the packaging containers of different specifications placed inside the material sorting channel 10 slide to the bottom of the material sorting channel 10 under the action of gravity and are sorted in sequence. The existing robots on the production line will reciprocate and circulate to take out the packaging containers from the material sorting channel 10. In this way, the reciprocating operation of taking out the packaging containers is completed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the left guide plate 8 and the right guide plate 9 are both L-shaped, and there are four groups of left guide plates 8 and right guide plates 9. A material sorting channel 10 is formed between each group of left guide plates 8 and right guide plates 9; a buffer limit block 20 is connected to the bottom of the material sorting channel 10.

[0036] Specifically, the L-shaped left guide plate 8 and the right guide plate 9 can provide good support for the packaging containers inside the material sorting channel 10. At the same time, the width of the material sorting channel 10 between the left guide plate 8 and the right guide plate 9 can be adjusted according to the size of the packaging container, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the weight and shape of the packaging container to guide and slide the packaging container and reduce friction.

[0037] The buffering and limiting blocks 20 are made of nylon or rubber to prevent the packaging containers inside the material sorting channel 10 from rushing out when falling due to gravity, thereby playing a role of buffering and limiting the packaging containers.

[0038] Among them, three important indicators, namely, the weight of the packaging container, the width of the material sorting channel 10, and the inclination angle of the oblique bracket 3, must be paid special attention to. Through balanced design, there is no need to increase locking limits, and the packaging containers can be continuously placed in the material sorting channel 10 between the left guide plate 8 and the right guide plate 9 without applying additional force. Under the influence of gravity, the packaging containers slide down freely.

[0039] In this embodiment, a protective plate 21 is further connected to the upper end of the oblique bracket 3 , and the protective plate 21 covers the upper part of the material sorting channel 10 , and the lower part of the material sorting channel 10 is exposed to the protective plate 21 .

[0040] Specifically, the protection plate 21 may be made of a transparent acrylic material to further guide the packaging container and prevent the packaging container from rushing out of the material sorting channel 10 .

[0041] The operating principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0042] Take the design and sorting of four packaging containers - cosmetic jars as an example to explain the process. In the initial state, the material sorting channel 10 between the four groups of left guide plates 8 and right guide plates 9 is empty, the transmission screw 6 is locked at an angle, and there is no product at the bottom of the material sorting channel 10. Four cosmetic jars are manually placed in the material sorting channel 10 between the left guide plate 8 and the right guide plate 9, and the width of the material sorting channel 10 is adjusted. By rotating the driving hand wheel 11, the transmission block 5, the transmission screw 6 and the transmission connecting rod 7 are coordinated to adjust the angle of the oblique bracket 3. The cosmetic jars are acted upon by gravity and begin to slide down along the vertical direction of the left guide plate 8, the right guide plate 9 and the protective plate 21. When they slide down to a certain distance from the bottom of the material sorting channel 10, they touch the bottom buffer limit block 20, completing the buffering and stopping of the cosmetic jars.

[0043] The robot takes the cosmetic cans in order from above the bottom buffer limit block 20. At this time, multiple cosmetic cans can continue to be sorted and placed in the material sorting channel 10 until the material sorting channel 10 is full. Each cosmetic can will slide down due to gravity sorting, and the robot will reciprocate and take out the cosmetic cans from above the bottom buffer limit block 20 of the material sorting channel 10. In this way, the reciprocating operation of taking out the cosmetic cans is completed.

[0044] To sum up, the utility model tilting drive mechanism 2 is arranged above the mounting seat 1, and the tilting drive mechanism 2 includes a transmission block 5, a transmission screw 6 and a transmission connecting rod 7, the middle part of the transmission block 5 is connected to the transmission screw 6; one end of the transmission connecting rod 7 is hinged to the side of the transmission block 5, and the other end of the transmission connecting rod 7 is hinged to the bottom of the oblique bracket 3; the bottom end of the oblique bracket 3 is hinged to the edge of the mounting seat 1; the material guide assembly 4 is fixed above the oblique bracket 3, and the material guide assembly 4 includes a left guide plate 8 and a right guide plate 9, and a material sorting channel 10 of a set width is formed between the left guide plate 8 and the right guide plate 9; the tilting drive mechanism 2 drives the oblique bracket 3 to adjust the tilt amplitude, so that the packaging container inside the material sorting channel 10 slides down to the lower end of the material sorting channel 10 under the action of gravity. The contact position of the transmission screw 6 and the first transmission seat 12, and the contact position of the transmission screw 6 and the second transmission seat 13 are equipped with bearings. The transmission screw 6 can be driven to rotate by rotating the driving hand wheel 11, and the rotation of the transmission screw 6 realizes the reciprocating movement of the transmission block 5. The reciprocating movement of the transmission block 5 can drive the transmission connecting rod 7 to swing, and the swing of the transmission connecting rod 7 drives the oblique bracket 3 to adjust the tilting amplitude. The first guide rod 14 and the second guide rod 15 can limit the moving direction of the transmission block 5, prevent the transmission block 5 from rotating, and ensure that the moving direction of the transmission block 5 does not deviate. Driven by the transmission block 5, the two pairs of transmission connecting rods 7 can drive the oblique bracket 3 to tilt and adjust through the first hinge seat 18. During the tilt adjustment process of the oblique bracket 3, the second hinge seat 19 swings relative to the mounting seat 1 to ensure that the packaging containers of different specifications placed inside the material sorting channel 10 slide to the bottom of the material sorting channel 10 under the action of gravity and are sorted in sequence. The existing robot on the production line will reciprocate and circulate to take out the packaging containers from the inside of the material sorting channel 10, and the operation is completed in a reciprocating cycle of taking out the packaging containers. The L-shaped left guide plate 8 and right guide plate 9 can form a good support effect for the packaging container inside the material sorting channel 10. At the same time, the width of the material sorting channel 10 between the left guide plate 8 and the right guide plate 9 can be adjusted according to the size of the packaging container, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the weight and shape of the packaging container to guide and slide the packaging container to reduce friction. The buffer limit block 20 is made of nylon or rubber to prevent the packaging container inside the material sorting channel 10 from rushing out when gravity falls, and plays a buffering and limiting role for the packaging container. The three important indicators of the weight of the packaging container, the width of the material sorting channel 10, and the inclination angle of the oblique bracket 3 must be paid special attention to. Through design balance, there is no need to increase the locking limit, which can meet the continuous placement of packaging containers in the material sorting channel 10 between the left guide plate 8 and the right guide plate 9. No additional force is required. Under the influence of gravity, the packaging container slides freely. The utility model can complete the batch sorting of materials on the same plane through gravity, without the need for three-dimensional pick-up and placement, saving operation time; it can be flexibly designed and modified according to the materials carried, and can be adjusted for the use of different container sizes or items, with strong flexibility.
