[0039] Below, the present invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0040] Please combine Figure 1-Figure 5 In this embodiment, a multi-protection dust cleaning mechanism 10 for a color sorter 20 includes a color sorter 20 and a dust cleaning structure. The color sorter 20 is an existing device and includes an upper sorting box 50 and a lower sorting box 60. The upper and lower sorting boxes 60 are also respectively equipped with a lighting unit 30 and an image acquisition unit 40.
[0041] Specifically, the dust cleaning mechanism 10 includes a protection component 01, a drive component 02 and a dust cleaning brush component 03:
[0042] The drive assembly 02 is used to drive the dust cleaning brush assembly 03 to clean the glass surfaces of the upper and lower sorting boxes 60, improving material identification accuracy and, in turn, the sorting quality of the color sorter 20. However, in actual use, due to the varying characteristics of different materials, the color sorter 20 must cope with a variety of complex environments. For example, the sorting of some materials may generate foreign matter such as dust. These foreign matter can cause the drive mechanism to produce unusual noises, jam, or even stop. Therefore, a protective assembly 01 is required to protect the drive mechanism.
[0043] Specifically, the protective assembly 01 includes a protective cover 011, which is screwed into the color sorter 20. Sealing gaskets (labeled in the figure) are installed around the sides, top, and ends of the protective cover 011. A long, rectangular mounting opening 012 is defined at the bottom of the protective cover 011. To prevent dust and other impurities from entering the protective cover 011, four symmetrical mounting grooves (not labeled in the figure) are defined on the sidewalls of the mounting opening 012. Furthermore, two self-priming T-shaped sealing curtains 013 and two T-shaped dust-proof brush strips 014 are provided.
[0044] During installation, the two self-priming T-shaped sealing curtains 013 and the two T-shaped dust-proof brush strips 014 are installed in two layers, the upper layer is two self-priming T-shaped sealing curtains 013, one end of which is clamped in the above-mentioned installation groove, and the two self-priming T-shaped sealing curtains 013 are symmetrical to each other;
[0045] The lower layer is composed of two T-shaped dust-proof brush strips 014 , one end of which is also clamped in the above-mentioned installation groove, and the two T-shaped dust-proof brush strips 014 are symmetrical to each other.
[0046] In summary, the self-priming T-shaped sealing curtain 013 and the T-shaped dust-proof brush strip 014 are both installed at an angle, and in the initial state, they are closed and contacted in pairs, thus forming a double-layer seal to prevent dust and other foreign matter from entering the interior of the protective cover 011.
[0047] The driving mechanism includes a rodless cylinder 021 and a driving connecting frame 022. First, the rodless cylinder 021 is fixedly installed inside the protective cover 011 by screws, and the driving connecting frame 022 is fixedly connected to the slider of the rodless cylinder 021. The lower end of the driving connecting frame 022 extends out of the protective cover 011 through the mounting opening 012.
[0048] Since the drive connecting frame 022 also passes through the self-priming T-shaped sealing curtain 013 and the T-shaped dust-proof brush strip 014, the brushless cylinder automatically separates the self-priming T-shaped sealing curtain 013 and the T-shaped dust-proof brush strip 014 during the movement of the drive connecting frame 022. After the drive connecting frame 022 moves, the self-priming T-shaped sealing curtain 013 and the T-shaped dust-proof brush strip 014 on both sides automatically close.
[0049] The cleaning brush assembly 03 includes a cleaning bracket 031, a brush mechanism 032, and bristles 033. To secure the cleaning brush assembly 03, one side of the cleaning bracket 031 is screwed to the drive connector 022 extending from the protective cover 011. Bristles 033 are also screwed to the cleaning bracket 031. Two brush mechanisms 032 are also screwed to the cleaning bracket 031. These two brush mechanisms 032 correspond to the upper and lower sorting boxes 60, respectively, and are used to clean the glass surfaces of the upper and lower sorting boxes 60.
[0050] Specifically, the brushing device 032 includes: an adjustment bracket 0321, a brush clamp 0323 and a brushing skin 0326;
[0051] First, adjust bracket 0321 is screwed to dust cleaning bracket 031. Adjust bracket 0321 also has an adjustment hole 0322, a vertical, oblong hole. A movable mounting pin 0327 is provided to fit within adjustment hole 0322. This pin passes through adjustment hole 0322 and has a locknut (not labeled) attached to its other end.
[0052] The cross-section of the brush clamp 0323 is generally U-shaped, with side panels welded on both sides (not marked in the figure), and holes are opened in the side panels. During installation, the side panels can be inserted into the adjustment bracket 0321, and the above-mentioned movable mounting pin 0327 also passes through the side panels on the brush clamp 0323. Because the adjustment bracket 0321 is fixedly connected to the dust cleaning bracket 031, and the movable mounting pin 0327 can be adjusted up and down in the mounting hole, the overall position of the brush clamp 0323 can be adjusted together with the movable mounting pin 0327. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the anti-loosening nut. The brush skin 0326 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped brush clamp 0323 by screws. The brush skin 0326 contacts the glass surface of the upper and lower color sorting boxes.
[0053] To ensure proper contact between the brush cover 0326 and the glass surfaces of the upper and lower color sorting boxes, a positioning pin 0324 is fixed to the top surface of the brush clamp 0323. A spring 0325 is sleeved around the positioning pin 0324. Note that a limit pin 0328 is mounted on the adjustment bracket 0321, and its position corresponds exactly to that of the positioning pin 0324.
[0054] After the adjustment bracket 0321 is connected to the brush clamp 0323 via the movable mounting pin 0327, the lower end of the stop pin 0328 is also inserted into the spring 0325. That is, the stop pin 0328 and one end of the positioning pin 0324 are both enclosed by the spring 0325. Initially, the stop pin 0328 and the positioning pin 0324 are not in contact.
[0055] Since there are four limit pins 0328 and four positioning pins 0324, they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable mounting pin 0327. Correspondingly, there are also four springs 0325. Since the brush clamp 0323 can rotate around the movable mounting pin 0327, the angle of the brush clamp 0323 and the brush cover 0326 can be adjusted to ensure that the brush cover 0326 is in close contact with the glass surface, ensuring a good cleaning effect.
[0056] When the brush clamp 0323 rotates, the positioning pin 0324 also rotates, but the position of the limit pin 0328 remains unchanged. When the brush clamp 0323 rotates, the spring 0325 is compressed. When the brush clamp 0323 rotates too much, the positioning pin 0324 will contact the limit pin 0328, preventing the brush clamp 0323 from rotating further and acting as a limit.
[0057] The implementation process and principle of the multi-protection cleaning mechanism 10 for a color sorter 20 in the embodiment of the present application are as follows:
[0058] (I): First, the tilted self-priming T-shaped sealing curtain 013 and the T-shaped dust-proof brush strip 014 form a double-layer seal at the installation opening 012. Together with the protective function of the protective cover 011, they prevent dust and other foreign matter from entering the protective cover 011 and causing the drive mechanism inside the protective cover 011 to produce abnormal noise, jamming, or stagnation. This ensures the normal operation of the drive mechanism and drives the dust-cleaning brush assembly 03 to perform cleaning work.
[0059] (2) When the color sorter 20 sends a cleaning signal, the drive assembly 02 starts and drives the cleaning brush assembly 03 to operate; the rodless cylinder 021 drives the drive connecting frame 022 and the cleaning brush assembly 03 to move together. During this process, the brush skin 0326 closely adheres to the surfaces to be cleaned of the upper and lower sorting boxes 60 and removes dust or impurities on the surface. The materials pass through the viewing point and are accurately identified by the lighting unit 30 and the image acquisition unit 40 to achieve sorting.
[0060] (3) Because the brush clamp 0323 can rotate around the movable mounting pin 0327, the angle of the brush clamp 0323 and the brush cover 0326 can be adjusted to ensure that the brush cover 0326 is in close contact with the glass surface and ensure cleaning results. No guide wheels, anti-deflection wheels, or limit wheels are required, reducing additional structure and cost. At the same time, the brush cover 0326 will wear out due to long-term friction. When it needs to be replaced, loosen the movable mounting pin 0327 and remove the brush clamp 0323.
[0061] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
