Above, the first direction is the Figure 1 X direction shown as Figure 1 the Y direction shown as Figure 1 the Z direction shown as

[0040] Specifically, the sorting component 300 further includes a base 303, the base 303 includes a bottom plate 3031 and a vertical plate 3032 provided at one end of the bottom plate 3031 away from the material channel 200. The bottom plate 3031 includes a sorting material channel 3031a, and the sorting material channel 3031a is a groove provided along the length direction of the bottom plate 3031. The width of the bottom of the groove is equivalent to the size of the pushing block 301; the third air cylinder 302 is installed on the vertical plate 3032, and the piston rod of the third air cylinder 302 is connected to the pushing block 301 and drives the pushing block 301 to reciprocate on the sorting material channel 3031a.

[0041] Specifically, the second driving mechanism 400 includes two first slide bars 401 and second slide bars 402 arranged in parallel, a first sliding frame 403 slidably sleeved on the first slide bar 401, and a second sliding frame 404 slidably sleeved on the second slide bar 402. Both the first sliding frame 403 and the second sliding frame 404 are L-shaped, including a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. Slide bar sleeves are provided below the horizontal portions of the first sliding frame 403 and the second sliding frame 404, and the first sliding frame 403 and the second sliding frame 404 are respectively slidably sleeved on the first slide bar 401 and the second slide bar 402 through the slide bar sleeves; and a second air cylinder 405 connected to the base 303 and arranged between the first sliding frame 403 and the second sliding frame 404, that is, the second air cylinder 405 is arranged between the vertical portions of the first sliding frame 403 and the second sliding frame 404; both ends of the first slide bar 401 and the second slide bar 402 are installed on the mounting plate 100 through a second bracket 400a.

[0042] Specifically, the first driving mechanism 500 includes a first air cylinder 501 connected to the second air cylinder 405. In this embodiment, a side plate is provided on the side of the second air cylinder 405 close to the first air cylinder 501, and the piston rod of the first air cylinder 501 is connected to the side plate; the first air cylinder 501 is installed on the mounting plate 100 through a third bracket 500a.

[0043] The sorting mechanism of this application is composed of a first driving mechanism 500, a second driving mechanism 400, and a sorting component 300. That is, through the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism, the sorting component is moved in two directions, and finally the sorting operation is completed by the sorting component. Therefore, the whole application is not prone to failure, has few maintenance times, does not affect production efficiency, and can achieve fast sorting actions.

[0044] During operation, in the previous process, the inspected products are sent into the sorting chute 3031a. The control system determines that the product is one of qualified, unqualified, to be inspected, or inspected and pending determination according to the inspection results, and then sends instructions to the first air cylinder 501 and the second air cylinder 405. The first air cylinder 501 and / or the second air cylinder 405 act or do not act to send the sorting component 300 to the chute corresponding to the inspection result. Finally, the third air cylinder 302 drives the push block 301 to push the product into the corresponding chute.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, a trapezoidal notch 3011 is provided on one side of the push block 301 relative to the third cylinder 302. Through the trapezoidal notch 3011, the products on the sorting material channel 3031a can be well pushed into the corresponding material channels.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, a baffle plate 406 is provided at the position where the first sliding frame 403 is close to the material channel 200. The baffle plate 406 is U-shaped, and its two free ends are relatively located on both sides of the sorting material channel 3031a outlet of the bottom plate 3031. Through the design of the baffle plate 406, it is prevented that the products fall from the connection between the sorting material channel 3031a and the material channel 200.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, a plurality of mounting grooves 101 are evenly distributed along the length direction on the mounting plate 100. The mounting grooves 101 are convex-shaped grooves. The first support 200a, the second support 400a, and the third support 500a are all installed in the mounting grooves 101 through fixing screws 100a. Through the above structural design, when any functional component of this application needs to be adjusted in position or repaired and replaced, only the corresponding fixing screws 100a need to be loosened or disassembled, which is convenient and fast.
