DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, the following examples are used to illustrate the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These examples belong to the protection scope of the present invention, but do not limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A film reel forward and reverse sorting mechanism, such as Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, it includes a frame 1, and also includes: a rotating device 11 arranged on the frame 1, the output end of the rotating device 11 passes through the silo 12 and is connected to the rotating plate 13 arranged in the silo 12, and the inner side of the silo 12 is provided with a loading trough 14; a feeding assembly 2, including a feeding trough 21, a mounting groove 22, a first belt 23, and a feeding device 24; the two ends of the feeding trough 21 are respectively arranged on the frame 1 and the silo 12, the mounting grooves 22 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom of the feeding trough 21, the first belt 23 is arranged in the mounting groove 22, and the feeding device 24 4 is provided on the frame 1; the feeding device 24 can provide the first belt 23 with operating power through power transmission; the sorting assembly 3 includes a lifting device 31, a loading block 32, a forward groove 33, and a reverse groove 34; the lifting device 31 is provided on the frame 1, the loading block is connected to the lifting rod on the lifting device 31, the forward groove 33 and the reverse groove 34 are spaced apart and respectively provided at both ends of the loading block 32 and both are inclined in opposite directions; the loading block 32 has no obstructions on both sides and its initial position is flush with the top of the feeding trough 21.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the loading trough 14 is arranged from bottom to top along the inner side of the silo 12; the feeding trough 21 is arranged from top to bottom and is located at a high position at one end of the silo 12; the top of the loading trough 14 is connected to the top of the feeding trough 21.

[0029] The size of the rotating plate can be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the silo, and the gap between the rotating plate and the inner side of the silo is smaller than the size of the reel to avoid the reel being stuck; the rotating plate can rotate relative to the silo.

[0030] When the rotating device is in operation, it drives the rotating plate to rotate, thereby pushing the film reel into the loading slot, and the reel enters the feeding slot through the loading slot, thereby realizing the reel feeding operation; the rotating device can use a motor.

[0031] The load block has a certain height. When it rises due to the control of the lifting device, it can block the reel on the conveyor belt from moving forward; when the feeding device is running, the lifting device is in standby state. At this time, the first belt stops rotating to prevent the reel from moving forward to affect the operation of the lifting device.

[0032] The feeding device can use a motor to drive the first belt to rotate during operation.

[0033] Since the two ends of the film reel are asymmetrical, with front and back sides, it is necessary to ensure that the orientation of the reel is consistent when feeding the material to ensure normal production.

[0034] The lifting device can be a cylinder, an electric push rod, etc. The lifting rod of the lifting device is set upward to drive the load block to move up and down.

[0035] Since the structures at both ends of the reel are different, the forward groove provided on the loading block can only be entered when the reel is in the forward direction, but cannot be entered when the reel is in the reverse direction, thereby achieving the distinction of the direction of the transported reel.

[0036] During use, the reel enters the loading block from the feed chute. When the reel is facing forward, its two ends are in the forward grooves. At this time, the lifting device operates, causing the loading block to rise above the feed chute. Since the forward grooves are inclined, when the loading block is higher than the feed chute, with no obstructions on both sides, the reel automatically slides out and falls onto another conveyor belt, ready for film to be wound in. The lifting device then resets. When the reel is facing backward, its two ends are in the reverse grooves. The lifting device operates, causing the loading block to rise above the feed chute. Since the reverse grooves are inclined, when the loading block is higher than the feed chute, with no obstructions on both sides, the reel automatically slides out. The reel that has slipped out can be collected and placed in the feeding hopper.

[0037] A mounting plate 35 can be set on the rack. The mounting plate 35 is similar to a 7 shape and a sensor is provided at the bottom of the part above the loading block, so that the sensing end of the sensor faces the loading block; the sensor can be divided into a transmitting end and a receiving end, and the transmitting end is located above the loading block; a groove can be opened on the loading block for installing the receiving end; the transmitting end and the receiving end are both existing products, and the signal emitted by the transmitting end can be received by the receiving end, and the emitted light can be infrared.

[0038] When the reel enters the loading block, the infrared rays emitted by the transmitting end are blocked by the reel, indicating that the material is already on the loading block. The lifting device can be controlled to operate, causing the loading block to rise, thereby quickly achieving material screening.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] The present invention also has the following technical features:

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the sorting mechanism also includes: a first guide belt 4, which is arranged on the side of the feed trough 21 away from the hopper 12; the first guide belt 4 is inclined and the end close to the feed trough 21 is in a high position; the positive groove 33 is arranged toward the first guide belt 4.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the sorting mechanism further includes: a second guide belt 5 , which is arranged at the other side of the feed trough 21 opposite to the first guide belt 4 and is arranged obliquely downward; and a reverse groove 34 is arranged toward the second guide belt 5 .

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, the sorting mechanism also includes: a return material component 6, including a return material trough 61, a second belt 62, and a return material device 63; the two ends of the return material trough 61 are respectively arranged on the frame 1 and the silo 12, and the side surface at one end of the frame 1 is connected to the second guide belt 5; the second belt 42 is arranged on the return material trough 61; the return material device 63 is arranged on the frame 1; the return material device 63 can enable the second belt 62 to obtain operating power through power transmission.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, one end portion of the second belt 62 close to the silo 12 is located above the silo 12 ; the second belt 62 is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the feeding assembly 2 further includes: a limiting member 25, which is provided on the frame 1 and is located above the feeding trough 21; the bottom of the limiting member 25 is connected to the highest point of the film reel when it is in the feeding trough 21.

[0046] The material return device can use a motor, which can drive the second belt to rotate when it is running.

[0047] The first guide belt is used to transport the reels facing forward after sorting to the next operating station; the second guide belt is used to collect the reels facing backward after sorting; the first guide belt and the second guide belt are both located on both sides of the loading block, and are both set obliquely, with the highest point at one end close to the loading block.

[0048] The limiter is used to limit the height of the feed trough to ensure that the height of the feed trough can only pass one reel, avoiding the stacked reels entering and causing poor feeding.

[0049] The second belt transports the reel from a low position to a high position, and the second belt is arranged obliquely, so the second belt is provided with anti-skid grooves to prevent the reel from sliding when being transported by the second belt.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the sorting mechanism further includes: a controller 7, which is arranged on the frame 1; the controller 7 is respectively controlled and connected with the rotating device 11, the feeding device 24, the sensor, the lifting device 31, and the returning device 63.

[0052] The controller is connected to the rotating device, the feeding device and the returning device so that the operation of the rotating device, the feeding device and the returning device can be controlled by the controller, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0053] At the same time, the controller is connected to the sensor and the lifting device, and can obtain the data monitored by the sensor, that is, to determine whether there is a scroll on the loading block. When the sensor detects the presence of a scroll, it feeds back to the controller and controls the lifting device to rise. When the sensor detects that the scroll has left the loading block, it controls the lifting device to reset. The sensor can use a distance sensor to determine whether there is a scroll on the loading block by the height change between the sensor probe and the top of the loading block.

[0054] Instructions for use: The reel entering the feed chute moves from top to bottom. When it enters the loading block, the lifting device operates to cause the loading block to rise. If the reel is facing forward, it enters the first guide belt. If the reel is facing backward, it enters the second guide belt. The reel entering the second guide belt rolls onto the return chute. When the return device operates, it drives the second belt to operate, thereby transporting the reel from bottom to top. When it reaches above the silo, the reel falls from the second belt. In this way, the operation of automatically returning the reel to the silo in the reverse direction is completed.

[0055] The components involved in this new model, such as the rotating device, feeding device, lifting device, return device, controller, etc., are not the innovation points created by the present invention, and the specific models will not be described in detail.
