Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sorting equipment, in particular to a fast sorter for small busbar copper bars with different lengths. Background Art
[0002] Busbar copper rods are common busbars for high-voltage switchgear control power, signal power, protection power, AC voltage, and AC power. They are often placed in the busbar compartment on the top of high-voltage switchgear. They are typically made of non-ferrous metal processed into a rod shape, offering excellent workability and conductivity. Commonly used busbar copper rods are divided into two types: brass rods, primarily composed of a copper-zinc alloy, are cheaper than copper rods; copper rods, with a higher copper content, are more expensive. Both types offer good conductivity.
[0003] Existing busbar copper bars come in varying lengths, making sorting difficult. If you need to sort busbar copper bars of different lengths and store them together, most still require manual sorting, which is inefficient and prone to errors. To improve sorting efficiency and save labor costs, a fast sorter for busbar copper bars of varying lengths is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that small busbar copper bars needed in the production process of high-voltage switchgear are still sorted manually and the sorting efficiency is low, and a fast sorter for small busbar copper bars of different lengths is proposed.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A fast sorter for small busbar copper bars of different lengths includes an inclined sorting mechanism and a storage mechanism. The sorting mechanism includes a placement area and a sorting channel connected to the placement area, as well as sorting notches at the bottom of the sorting channel corresponding to the lengths of the copper bars. The sorting channel includes multiple channels distributed from top to bottom, and the inlet of the topmost channel is connected to the placement area.
[0007] Furthermore, the cross section of the sorting channel is a U-shaped structure with an open top, and the width of the sorting channel corresponds to the outer diameter of the copper rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the sorting channel includes a first channel, a second channel, and a third channel, the sorting gap includes a first gap and a second gap, the entrance of the first channel is connected to the placement area, the bottom of the first channel is provided with a first gap corresponding to the middle rod, and the bottom of the second channel is provided with a second gap corresponding to the short rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the axial length of the second notch is smaller than the axial length of the first notch.
[0010] Furthermore, a V-shaped entrance is provided between the sorting channel and the placement area.
[0011] Furthermore, a block is provided between the sorting channel and the V-shaped entrance so that the height of the entrance of the sorting channel corresponds to the copper rod.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a base, a vibration motor, and a spring shock absorber. The sorting mechanism is connected to the base through the spring shock absorber, and a vibration motor is fixedly installed on the outside of the sorting mechanism.
[0013] Furthermore, the storage mechanism includes a cart, a material receiving hopper, and a material receiving gap. Three material receiving hoppers corresponding to the first channel, the second channel, and the third channel are arranged in the vertical direction on the cart, and a material receiving gap is opened on the side of the material receiving hopper close to the sorting channel.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0027] Reference Figure 1-6 The utility model discloses a rapid sorter for small busbar copper bars of different lengths, comprising an inclined sorting mechanism 2 and a storage mechanism 3. The sorting mechanism 2 comprises a placement area 21 and a sorting channel 23 connected to the placement area 21, as well as a sorting notch 25 corresponding to the length of the copper bars at the bottom of the sorting channel 23. The inlet end of the sorting channel 23 is higher than the outlet end. The sorting channel 23 comprises a plurality of channels distributed from top to bottom. The specific number of channels mainly corresponds to the number of length categories of the bars to be sorted. The inlet of the topmost channel is connected to the placement area 21.
[0028] Specifically, if there are n types of bar lengths, then the number of channels is also n, and there are n-1 sorting gaps 25. At the same time, if the bars are sorted from longest to shortest, the lengths of the sorting gaps 25 correspond to those sorted from the top channel to the bottom channel. That is, the lengths of the sorting gaps 25 and the lengths of the bars decrease layer by layer from top to bottom and correspond one to one. After the material enters the top channel from the placement area 21, it is sorted layer by layer through the sorting gaps 25 and enters the corresponding channels respectively, thereby completing the sorting.
[0029] The cross section of the sorting channel 23 is a U-shaped structure with an open top. The groove structure of the U-shaped structure facilitates the bars to fall from the previous sorting channel 23 through the sorting notch 25 into the next sorting channel 23.
[0030] The width of the sorting channel 23 corresponds to the outer diameter of the copper rod, and the inner wall width of the sorting channel 23 is the same as that of the copper rod, or slightly larger than that of the copper rod. Preferably, the inner wall of the sorting channel 23 can be polished to facilitate the sliding of the copper rod in the sorting channel 23.
[0031] The sorting channel 23 includes a first channel 231, a second channel 232, and a third channel 233. The sorting gap 25 includes a first gap 251 and a second gap 252. The entrance of the first channel 231 is connected to the placement area 21. The bottom of the first channel 231 is provided with a first gap 251 corresponding to the medium rod, and the bottom of the second channel 232 is provided with a second gap 252 corresponding to the short rod. Specifically, the small busbar copper rods are divided into three lengths and have the same outer diameter. The longest rod (long rod) can pass through the first gap 251 and then be sent out from the outlet end of the first channel 231. The medium length rod (medium rod) and the shortest rod (short rod) fall from the first gap 251 into the second channel 232. Then the medium rod can pass through the second gap 252 and be sent out from the outlet end of the second channel 232. The short rod falls from the second gap 252 into the third channel 233 and is sent out from the outlet end of the third channel 233 to complete the sorting.
[0032] The axial length of the second notch 252 is less than the axial length of the first notch 251. Specifically, the length of the middle rod 1 / 2 is less than the length of the first notch 251 and less than the length of the long rod 1 / 2. The length of the short rod 1 / 2 is less than the length of the second notch 252 and less than the length of the middle rod 1 / 2. For example, when the rod falls into the first notch 251, Figure 4 As shown, when the center of gravity of the long rod passes through the inlet end of the first notch 251 (the left end of the first notch 251 in the figure), the right end of the long rod has already passed the outlet end of the first notch 251. When the center of gravity of the medium rod and the short rod pass through the inlet end of the first notch 251, the right ends of the medium rod and the short rod are still in the first notch 251. Under the influence of gravity, the medium rod and the short rod will fall downward from the first notch 251 as they continue to move forward. Similarly, the subsequent sorting channels 23 cooperate with the sorting notches 25, and each sorting channel 23 can sort out rods of corresponding length.
[0033] Of course, among all the sorting gaps 25, the lower sorting gap 25 is located on the side away from the inlet end of the upper sorting gap 25, such as Figure 5 In the embodiment, the second notch 252 is located on the right side of the first notch 251 , and a certain distance is maintained between the second notch 252 and the first notch 251 in the horizontal direction to prevent the rod from falling directly into the second notch 252 when being hung from the first notch 251 .
[0034] The sorting channel 23 at the bottom layer does not need to be provided with a sorting gap 25, and can be directly connected to the sorting gap 25 at the upper layer. Figure 5 shown.
[0035] A V-shaped entrance 22 is provided between the sorting channel 23 and the placement area 21 to facilitate the bars in the placement area 21 to enter the sorting channel 23 .
[0036] A stopper 24 is installed between the sorting channel 23 and the V-shaped entrance 22 to ensure that the height of the entrance of the sorting channel 23 corresponds to the copper rods, thereby preventing the rods from stacking vertically when entering the sorting channel 23. In this way, only one rod passes through the sorting notch 25 and falls out of each sorting channel 23 at a time.
[0037] The sorter also includes a base 1, a vibration motor 11, and a spring shock absorber 12. The sorting mechanism 2 is connected to the base 1 via the spring shock absorber 12. The spring shock absorber 12 reduces the transmission of vibration to the base 1. A vibration motor 11 is fixedly provided on the outside of the sorting mechanism 2. The vibration motor 11 is used to drive the sorting mechanism 2 to vibrate, and the vibration drives the bar material to automatically slide in the sorting mechanism 2.
[0038] The storage mechanism 3 includes a cart 31, a receiving hopper 32, and a receiving notch 33. A universal wheel with a brake is installed at the bottom of the cart 31. Three receiving hoppers 32 corresponding to the first channel 231, the second channel 232, and the third channel 233 are provided in the vertical direction on the cart 31. The receiving hoppers 32 are each provided with a receiving notch 33 on one side close to the sorting channel 23. When in use, the storage mechanism 3 is pushed to the outlet end of the sorting channel 23 of the sorting mechanism 2. After the copper rod comes out of the sorting channel 23, it passes through the receiving notch 33 and enters the receiving hopper 32. The three lengths of copper rods sorted out are respectively received by the three receiving hoppers 32.
[0039] There are multiple sorting channels 23, and the multiple sorting channels 23 are installed on the sorting mechanism 2 in the transverse direction. The bar materials are sorted from the multiple sorting channels 23 at the same time, so as to improve the sorting efficiency.
[0040] Working principle: When in use, pour the small busbar copper rods into the placement area 21, push the storage mechanism 3 to the outlet end of the sorting channel 23, start the vibration motor 11, and the copper rods automatically slide into the sorting channel 23 under the action of vibration and gravity, and queue up to enter the sorting channel 23 one after another. After entering the sorting channel 23, the long rods are sent out from the first channel 231, the medium rods and short rods fall from the first notch 251 into the second channel 232, and then the medium rods are sent out from the second channel 232, and the short rods fall from the second notch 252 into the third channel 233. Finally, the rods fall from the outlet end into the corresponding receiving hopper 32.
