Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of support devices, in particular to a maintenance component for a chute of a color sorter. Background Art
[0002] A color sorter is a device that automatically sorts out different-color particles in granular materials based on the differences in the optical properties of the materials. After long-term use of the color sorter, dirt such as residues is likely to accumulate on its material chute, and it needs to be cleaned regularly. Since the chute is installed inside the color sorter, a cleaning device is required for cleaning.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used cleaning method mostly uses a brush to scrape back and forth. For example, in the Chinese patent with the publication number CN2020221285543, the device drives a lead screw through a motor, and the lead screw drives a cross bar to move through a threaded structure, and relies on the brush rod and bristles arranged at the bottom of the cross bar to clean the surface of the chute.
[0004] However, in this structure, if only the scraping method is used for cleaning, the bristles are in a relatively static state, and the cleaning force is limited. Not only is it difficult to remove the dust adhering to the surface of the chute, but also during the reciprocating scraping process, it is easy to cause dust to fly up. These dusts overflowing outside the box will affect the surrounding environment, and after the dust settles, it will adhere to the surface of the chute again. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] Based on the above description, the utility model provides a maintenance component for a chute of a color sorter to solve the problems that the existing chute cleaning equipment of the color sorter has a simple structure, can only use the scraping method for cleaning, has low cleaning efficiency, poor cleaning effect, and is extremely easy to cause dust to fly up and affect the surrounding environment.
[0006] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A maintenance component for a chute of a color sorter includes a chute. There are guard plates on both sides of the chute. A chute is arranged on the top surface of the guard plate along the extending direction of the guard plate. A mounting seat is movably installed in the chute.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] 1. This application is an improvement based on the existing maintenance mechanism of the color sorter. Not only is the cleaning structure set to a rotating structure, but also suction pipes are equipped on both sides. In this way, not only can the contact frequency between the brush bristles and the surface of the slide be increased by rotation, but also the scraping force of the brush bristles can be increased, causing a large amount of dust adhering to the surface of the slide to be lifted, and then quickly collected in cooperation with the suction pipes on both sides. This greatly improves the cleaning effect of the device, and at the same time can prevent dust from affecting its surrounding environment, making it more convenient to use.

[0025] To facilitate the understanding of this application, the following will describe this application more comprehensively with reference to the relevant drawings. Embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of this application more thorough and comprehensive.
[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this application belongs. The terms used in the description of this application herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.
[0027] Combined with Figures 1-5 As shown, a maintenance component for the slide of a color sorter includes:
[0028] The slideway 1 is a rectangular plate, and guard plates 11 are vertically arranged on both sides thereof to guide the conveyed materials;
[0029] The mounting seat 2 is slidably mounted on the top of the slideway 1 and is used to fix and support other components;
[0030] The dust removal assembly 3, including a cleaning roller 32 and a dust suction pipe 31, is horizontally arranged between the two mounting seats 2 at intervals, and is used to quickly clean the dust adhering to the surface of the slideway 1;
[0031] The driving assembly 4 is arranged on one side of the guard plate 11 to drive the mounting seat 2 to reciprocate, thereby cooperating with the dust removal assembly 3 to expand the cleaning range.
[0032] Specifically; in the present embodiment, the driving assembly 4 is composed of a driving motor 41 and a driving shaft 42. A slide groove 12 is arranged on the top surface of the guard plate 11, and a driving shaft 42 is arranged inside one of the slide grooves 12, and the two ends of the driving shaft 42 are rotatably connected to the two inner side walls of the slide groove 12 respectively. The driving motor 41 is fixedly mounted on the end surface of the guard plate 11 and its output end extends inward and is finally transmission-connected to one end of the driving shaft 42.
[0033] Moreover, in order to realize smooth reciprocating motion of a single drive shaft 42, the drive shaft 42 should be configured as a bidirectional screw, that is, two opposite thread structures are set on the surface of the drive shaft 42. At the same time, the bottom part of the mounting seat 2 extends downward to the inside of the slide groove 12, and a threaded hole is opened on the end face of the extended part, and the protruding part and the drive shaft 42 form a ball screw structure, so that only one-way rotation is required to drive the mounting seat 2 to reciprocate, and the inside of the slide groove 12 on the other side is combined with the mounting seat 2 using a simple slide rail structure.
[0034] The cleaning roller 32 includes a cylindrical shell 321, and a plurality of groups of openings 322 are provided on the surface of the shell 321, each group of three openings 322 are arranged in a circular array on the surface of the shell 321, and a plug plate 323 is slidably installed inside each opening 322, and a brush 324 is provided on the outward side of the plug plate 323. When the plug plate 323 is arranged vertically downward, the bristles 324 can just contact the bottom surface of the slide 1. Therefore, when the entire cleaning roller 32 rotates, the bristles 324 can be used to quickly clean the dust on the surface of the slide 1. Based on this requirement, both ends of the cleaning roller 32 should be rotatably connected to the two mounting seats 2 respectively, and a power source should also be provided, that is, a servo motor 34 is provided inside one of the mounting seats 2, and a driving gear is provided on the output end of the servo motor 34, and a transmission gear is provided at the end of the cleaning roller 32, and the driving gear and the transmission gear are meshed with each other.
[0035] After cleaning is completed, it is also necessary to consider that the brush bristles 324 must be stored to avoid obstructing the material. Therefore, in this embodiment, an adjustment shaft 325 should also be rotatably installed inside the cleaning roller 32. An adjustment disk 326 is provided on the adjustment shaft 325. The number of adjustment disks 326 should match the openings 322, that is, one adjustment disk 326 is provided near a group of openings 322. The edge of the adjustment disk 326 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 321 through a ball bearing.
[0036] A limiting groove 327 is also provided on the side wall of the adjustment disk 326. There are three such limiting grooves 327, and each one extends outward obliquely. The three limiting grooves 327 are arranged in a circumferential array around the center of the adjustment disk 326. In addition, one end of the insertion plate 323 located inside the housing 321 extends toward the adjustment disk 326, so that its protruding part is inserted into the limiting groove 327. Therefore, when the adjustment disk 326 rotates, the limiting groove 327 will force the protruding part to move inside the limiting groove 327 by rotation. At this time, the insertion plate 323 is also affected by the limiting effect of the opening 322, so it can only be adjusted telescopically along the direction of the opening 322, so that the insertion plate 323 can be stored inside the opening 322 or unfolded outward, so as to realize the separation or contact between the brush bristles 324 and the surface of the slideway 1.
[0037] In the above structure, to drive the rotation of the adjustment disk 326, an electric motor 328 should be provided at the center of the end face of one end of the housing 321. The electric motor 328 is not only equipped with a battery, but also should be additionally equipped with a Bluetooth module to realize remote control. The Bluetooth module can adopt wireless Bluetooth HC-05.
[0038] The dust suction pipes 31 are long straight pipes, and there are two of them. A dust collection box 5 is also provided on one side of the entire slideway 1. An air extraction pipe is provided at the top of the dust collection box 5. The end of the air extraction pipe is synchronously connected to the two dust suction pipes 31 through a branch pipe, and an air extraction pump 51 is provided at the connection between the air extraction pipe and the dust collection box 5. A plurality of suction nozzles 33 are provided at the bottom of the dust suction pipes 31, and each suction nozzle 33 is in a horn shape and is arranged vertically downward.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
