[0028] It should be understood that the terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific example embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "one", "an" and "said" as used herein may also be meant to include plural forms. The terms "comprise", "include", "contain" and "have" are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements and / or parts, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, parts, and / or combinations thereof.

It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.

[0029] Although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used in the text to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms can only be used to distinguish an element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first", "second" and other numerical terms do not imply order or sequence when used in the text.

Thus, the example term "below" can encompass both above and below orientations.

[0031] As the cost of photovoltaic power generation continues to decline, solar power generation will have a broader market potential. The structure and size of graphite boats, which serve as a carrier for anti-reflection coating of solar cells, directly impact the conversion efficiency and production efficiency of silicon wafers. Due to the structural characteristics of graphite boats, the washers and gaskets removed from the boats need to be sorted and stored during disassembly. Existing technology usually requires manual operation, but manual operation reduces sorting efficiency and work efficiency, and is prone to misclassification.

[0032] Figure 1 The structural diagram of the classification mechanism according to the embodiment of the present utility model is schematically shown. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the classification components. Figure 1 and 2As shown, the present invention proposes a classification mechanism 100 and a processing device. The classification mechanism 100 in the present invention includes a fixed base 10, a transfer component 20 and a classification component 30. The classification mechanism 100 in the present invention is used to classify a first material and a second material, and includes a fixed base 10, a transfer component 20 and a classification component 30. The transfer component 20 is connected to the fixed base 10. The classification component 30 includes a first classification bin 31 and a second classification bin 32 respectively connected to the fixed base 10. In the vertical direction, the first classification bin 31 is located above the second classification bin 32. The first classification bin 31 has a first accommodating cavity, and the second classification bin 32 has a second accommodating cavity connected to the first accommodating cavity. A separator 33 is provided in the first accommodating cavity. The separator 33 has a through-hole structure 331. The through-hole structure 331 is used to allow the first material to pass through and prevent the second material from passing through. The transfer component 20 is used to move the first material and the second material to the side of the through-hole structure 331 away from the second classification bin 32.

[0033] According to the technical solution of the present invention, the transfer component 20 can transfer the first material and the second material to the top of the through-hole structure 331 of the separator 33, and then the through-hole structure 331 of the first classification bin 31 can allow the first material to pass through and prevent the second material from passing through, thereby allowing the first material to fall into the second classification bin 32 below the first classification bin 31, and allowing the second material to be stuck on the separator 33, thereby realizing the classification of the first material and the second material. The classification mechanism 100 of the present invention can realize the screening of the two materials and arrive at their respective classification bins respectively, thereby improving the degree of automation of material classification and improving classification efficiency.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first material is a gasket with an annular structure, and the second material is a gasket with an annular structure. The outer diameter of the gasket is smaller than the outer diameter of the gasket.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the through-hole structure 331 has a plurality of through-holes 3311, which are spaced apart along a first direction to form a group of through-holes 3311, with the first direction being perpendicular to the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the through-holes 3311 are circular holes. The through-holes 3311 can allow washers to pass through and reach the second sorting bin 32, and can prevent gaskets from passing through and remain in the first sorting bin 31. Providing a plurality of through-holes 3311, and having multiple through-holes 3311 arranged along the first direction, allows for screening of multiple washers and gaskets, thereby improving screening efficiency.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, there are multiple groups of through holes 3311, and the multiple groups of through holes 3311 are spaced apart along the second direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the vertical direction are arranged perpendicularly in pairs. In this embodiment, the multiple groups of through holes 3311 are spaced apart along the second direction, so that the through holes 3311 are respectively distributed in the first direction and the second direction on the separator 33, so that the separator 33 maximizes the use of space to set the through holes 3311, further improving the separator 33's filtration efficiency for washers and gaskets. In addition, when the transfer assembly 20 conveys the washers and gaskets in an oblique direction, since the separator 33 is full of through holes 3311, it will not affect the classification of washers and gaskets by the through holes 3311, thereby improving reliability.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of through hole 3311 is larger than the outer diameter of the first material and smaller than the outer diameter of the second material. In this embodiment, this arrangement allows the gasket to pass smoothly through through hole 3311 and into the second receiving chamber of the second sorting bin 32. It also prevents the gasket from passing through through hole 3311, allowing it to remain in the first receiving chamber of the first sorting bin 31, thereby achieving separation of the two materials.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between adjacent groups of through holes 3311 is greater than the distance between adjacent through holes 3311. In this embodiment, the above arrangement can increase the distance between groups of through holes 3311, so that gaskets that cannot pass through the through holes 3311 are retained between the groups of through holes 3311, facilitating the storage of gaskets and reducing the possibility of gaskets blocking the through holes 3311 due to the groups of through holes 3311 being too densely packed together.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first accommodating chamber has a first opening and a second opening arranged vertically, the second opening connecting the first and second accommodating chambers. A cover plate is provided at the first opening, and the cover plate is provided with an opening for passing the first and second materials obtained by the transfer assembly 20. In this embodiment, the cover plate is provided at the first opening to prevent other impurities from entering the first accommodating chamber of the first classification bin 31 during the classification process, thereby preventing impurities from clogging the through-hole 3311. The provision of through-hole 3311 on the cover plate facilitates the transfer assembly 20 in transferring the gasket and shim to the side of the through-hole structure 331 facing away from the second classification bin 32, thereby improving reliability.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second opening is used to connect the first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity, so that the gasket passing through the through hole 3311 can smoothly enter the first accommodating cavity, thereby improving reliability.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cover is a transparent glass member. In this embodiment, the transparent glass member allows the operator to easily monitor the collection status of the gaskets in the first classification bin 31. When too many gaskets are collected, the operator can promptly empty the first classification bin 31 to avoid clogging of the through hole 3311 due to excessive gaskets.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transfer assembly 20 includes a gas source, a first pipeline, and a second pipeline. The gas outlet of the gas source is connected to one end of the first pipeline. The other end of the first pipeline is connected to the first accommodating chamber and is located on the side of the separator 33 facing away from the second classification chamber 32. One end of the second pipeline is connected to the first pipeline, and the other end of the second pipeline is used to draw the first and second materials. In this embodiment, the gas source is a container for storing gas and is capable of delivering the gas to the outside through the gas outlet. The first pipeline is used to quickly blow gas from the gas source toward the side of the separator 33 facing away from the second classification chamber 32. Due to the fast-flowing gas in the first pipeline, the pressure within the first pipeline is relatively low. Since the second pipeline is connected to the first pipeline, the first pipeline can draw gas from the second pipeline toward the gasket and the gasket, causing the gasket and the gasket to be drawn from the other end of the second pipeline into the first pipeline and then blown by the gas toward the other end of the first pipeline, i.e., above the separator 33.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the transfer component 20 is a suction component that can absorb the gasket and the washer of the second pipeline and finally discharge them to the top of the separator 33. The principle is similar to that of a vacuum cleaner or a suction nozzle.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transfer assembly 20 includes a robot that is used to grip the first material and the second material and move them to the side of the separator 33 facing away from the second classification bin 32. In this embodiment, the transfer assembly 20 can also be a robot. By gripping the gasket and the washer differently and transferring them to the side of the separator 33 facing away from the second classification bin 32, the gasket and the washer can also be transferred.

[0045] The classification mechanism 100 of the present invention can realize automatic suction and collection of graphite boat gaskets and gaskets, and can realize automatic screening and classification of graphite boat gaskets and gaskets, thereby reducing the labor intensity of employees and improving employee satisfaction.

[0046] The present invention also provides a processing device, comprising the above-mentioned classification mechanism 100 .

[0047] According to the classification mechanism 100 of the processing device of the present invention, the transfer component 20 can transfer the first material and the second material to the top of the through-hole structure 331 of the separator 33, and then the through-hole structure 331 of the first classification bin 31 can allow the first material to pass through and prevent the second material from passing through, thereby allowing the first material to fall into the second classification bin 32 below the first classification bin 31, and allowing the second material to be stuck on the separator 33, thereby realizing the classification of the first material and the second material. The classification mechanism 100 of the present invention can realize the screening of the two materials and respectively arrive at their respective classification bins, thereby improving the degree of automation of material classification and improving classification efficiency.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
