However, since the manufacturing, installation, and maintenance costs of most high-efficiency sorting equipment are quite high, most manufacturers find it difficult to accept. Low-cost sorting equipment has low sorting efficiency and accuracy and is not suitable for the large-demand and rapidly growing sorting industry. Therefore, the popularization rate of automated sorting equipment in China is not high, and most are manual sorting. The development of the express delivery industry drives the development of sorting equipment. Sorting equipment is becoming more intelligent and diverse, and the sorting efficiency and accuracy are getting higher and higher. More affordable, intelligent, precise, and efficient equipment is highly favored.

Embodiment

[0027] Referring to the attached Figures 1 to 4 , a rotary sorting mechanism includes a sorting mechanism 2. A plurality of feeding platforms 1 and conveyors 3 distributed in an annular array are arranged outside the sorting mechanism 2. The sorting mechanism 2 sorts and places the workpieces on the feeding platforms 1 onto the conveyors 3. The sorting mechanism 2 includes a frame 21. A slewing mechanism 23 is arranged on the frame 21. The input end of the slewing mechanism 23 is connected to a motor 22. A connecting seat 24 is arranged at the output end of the slewing mechanism 23. A telescopic mechanism 25 is arranged on the connecting seat 24. A lifting mechanism 26 is arranged at the output end of the telescopic mechanism 25. A clamping mechanism 27 is arranged at the output end of the lifting mechanism 26.

[0028] A base 211 is arranged at the bottom of the frame 21. Foot cups 212 are arranged at the four corners of the base 211. The foot cups 212 can adjust the levelness of the frame 21 to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

[0029] The telescopic mechanism 25 includes a receiving sleeve 251 fixed on the connecting seat 24. A telescopic rod 252 is slidably installed in the receiving sleeve 251. A first cylinder 253 is fixedly installed on the receiving sleeve 251. The piston rod of the first cylinder 253 is connected to the telescopic rod 252 through a connecting block 254.

[0030] When the piston rod of the first cylinder 253 expands and contracts, it is connected to the telescopic rod 252 through the connecting block 254. As the piston rod of the first cylinder 253 extends, an outward force is applied to the telescopic rod 252 through the connecting block 254, causing the telescopic rod 252 to extend out of the receiving sleeve 251. Conversely, when the piston rod of the first cylinder 253 contracts, the telescopic rod 252 contracts and retracts into the receiving sleeve 251, facilitating adjustment according to the size and transmission position of the workpiece.

[0031] The lifting mechanism 26 includes a first connecting plate 261 fixed at the output end of the telescopic mechanism 25. An "H"-shaped mounting frame 262 is fixedly installed on the first connecting plate 261. A second cylinder 263 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 262. The piston rod of the second cylinder 263 extends and is connected to the clamping mechanism 27. When the second cylinder 263 expands and contracts, the clamping mechanism 27 is driven to perform corresponding lifting and lowering through the piston rod.

[0032] The clamping mechanism 27 includes a second connecting plate 271 fixed to the piston rod of the second cylinder 263. Two third cylinders 272 are symmetrically installed on the left and right of the second connecting plate 271, and a clamping block 273 is fixedly installed on the output end of the third cylinder 272. The two third cylinders 272 symmetrically installed on the left and right of the second connecting plate 271 in the clamping mechanism 27 are responsible for providing the clamping force, and the clamping block 273 is the component that actually contacts the workpiece and is used to achieve stable clamping of the workpiece.

[0033] A guide shaft 264 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the second connecting plate 271. A guide hole 265 is provided on the mounting bracket 262, and the guide shaft 264 is slidably installed up and down in the guide hole 265, ensuring that the lifting mechanism 26 can maintain stable guidance during the lifting process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the clamping mechanism 27 during the clamping process.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] 1. Adjust the position: First, the motor 22 is started, and the entire sorting mechanism 2 is driven to rotate through the slewing mechanism 23.

[0036] 2. Grab the workpiece: When the sorting mechanism 2 rotates to the appropriate feeding table 1 position, the telescopic mechanism 25 will extend and grab the workpiece on the feeding table through the clamping mechanism 27.

[0037] 3. Place the workpiece: After grabbing the workpiece, the lifting mechanism 26 will rise, then the slewing mechanism 23 adjusts the position, and then releases the workpiece from the clamping mechanism 27 and places it on the conveyor 3.

[0038] 4. Circular sorting: Subsequently, the sorting mechanism 2 continues to rotate, searches for the next workpiece to be sorted, and repeats the above grabbing and placing processes until all workpieces are sorted.

[0039] 5. Continuous cycle: The entire sorting process continues until the set sorting quantity or time is reached.

[0040] The above-described embodiments only represent certain implementation manners of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention; it should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention; therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
