This cover is a plate-shaped material with not only a front and back side, but also a direction, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the back of the cover plate is spiked, with a narrow head and a wide tail. For materials with this unusual shape, existing vibrating buckets can cause overlapping covers, inverted front and back surfaces, and reversed heads and tails. Therefore, existing vibrating buckets are unable to meet the material sorting requirements for this type of cover plate. Therefore, manual material sorting is generally used, but this is inefficient and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0011] The upper surface of the plate-shaped material is set as the front side, and the lower surface is set as the back side. The back side is provided with a nail portion. The head of the plate-shaped material is narrow and the tail is wide.
[0012] The material sorting hopper is a vibrating hopper.
[0013] A method for arranging and sorting plate-shaped materials, using the above-mentioned plate-shaped material arranging and sorting device, comprises the following steps:

[0034] Example 1:
[0035] Figures 3 to 8 An embodiment of the plate-like material sorting device of the present invention is shown. The plate-like material sorting device of this embodiment includes a material sorting hopper 1 and a material sorting conveying channel 2. The discharge port of the material sorting hopper 1 is connected to the material sorting conveying channel 2. The material sorting conveying channel 2 is provided with an overlapping material sorting mechanism 3, a front and back material sorting mechanism 4 and a head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 in sequence along the conveying direction. The overlapping material sorting mechanism 3 is used to separate the overlapping plate-like materials 6 on the material sorting conveying channel 2 into a single layer, the front and back material sorting mechanism 4 is used to flip the plate-like materials 6 on the material sorting conveying channel 2 so that the front and back directions are consistent, and the head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 is used to turn the material on the material sorting conveying channel 2 so that the head and tail directions are consistent.
[0036] The working process of this plate material sorting and sorting device is as follows: first, the sorting hopper 1 sorts the plate material 6 and then transports the plate material 6 to the sorting and conveying channel 2 through the discharge port; secondly, the plate material 6 is transported forward along the sorting and conveying channel 2, first separated into single layers for transportation by the overlapping sorting mechanism 3, and then flipped by the front and back sorting mechanism 4 so that the front and back directions are consistent (such as the front side 61 facing upward), and finally turned by the head and tail sorting mechanism 5 so that the head and tail directions are consistent (such as the head facing forward); then, the sorting and conveying channel 2 outputs the qualified plate material 6. This plate-shaped material sorting and arranging device sequentially arranges the overlapping material sorting mechanism 3, the front and back material sorting mechanism 4, and the head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 along the conveying direction of the material sorting and conveying channel 2, so that the plate-shaped material 6 is first separated into a single layer for conveying by the overlapping material sorting mechanism 3 to avoid overlapping conveying, and then flipped by the front and back material sorting mechanism 4 so that the front and back directions are consistent, facilitating the subsequent turning operation of the head and tail material sorting mechanism 5. The head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 then turns the plate-shaped material 6 so that the head and tail directions are consistent. Then, the plate-shaped material 6 with the consistent direction is conveyed by the material sorting and conveying channel 2. In this way, the material sorting requirements of plate-shaped materials 6 with special shapes are met. In addition, the material sorting efficiency is high and the labor intensity is low.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a spirally ascending inner track 11 is provided on the inner circumference of the hopper 1, and the discharge port of the hopper 1 is located at the top of the inner track 11. As the hopper 1 rotates, the plate-like material 6 within the hopper 1 moves upward along the inner track 11 until it enters the material conveying channel 2 through the discharge port. The inner track 11 spirals upward around the inner circumference of the hopper 1.
[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the material handling conveying channel 2 spirally descends around the periphery of the handling hopper 1. The conveying length of the material handling conveying channel 2 is extended to meet the requirements of sequential arrangement of the overlapping material handling mechanism 3, the front and back material handling mechanism 4, and the head and tail material handling mechanism 5.
[0039] Furthermore, if Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the material sorting and conveying channel 2 is provided with a rejecting mechanism 7 downstream of the head and tail sorting mechanisms 5. The rejecting mechanism 7 is used to reject unqualified plate-shaped materials 6. The rejecting mechanism 7 rejects unqualified plate-shaped materials 6, ensuring that the plate-shaped materials 6 conveyed by the material sorting and conveying channel 2 are all qualified products with consistent vertical, horizontal, and front-to-back orientations.
[0040] Furthermore, if Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the sorting hopper 1 is provided with a return channel 8, which connects the rejection mechanism 7 to the feed port of the sorting hopper 1. The rejection mechanism 7 transfers unqualified plate-like materials 6 to the return channel 8, which then returns the unqualified plate-like materials 6 to the sorting hopper 1 for re-sorting. This allows unqualified plate-like materials 6 to be sorted again or multiple times until they are qualified, reducing the number of unqualified products while improving overall work efficiency.
[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the upper surface of the plate-like material 6 is set as the front side 61, and the lower surface is set as the back side 62. The back side 62 is provided with a spike portion 63. The head of the plate-like material 6 is narrow and the tail is wide. Due to the special structure of the plate-like material 6, the order of the overlapping material sorting mechanism 3, the front and back material sorting mechanism 4, and the head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 cannot be replaced. For example, if the front and back material sorting mechanism 4 and the head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 are replaced, the head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 will have difficulty in performing a steering operation on the plate-like material 6 with the wrong front and back sides (for example, with the tail facing forward). (For example, the steering operation requires the lifting effect of the spike portion 63 to provide operating space at the bottom.)
[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the material sorting hopper 1 is a vibrating hopper.
[0043] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the overlapping material sorting mechanism 3 may include a narrowing section 31 provided on the material sorting and conveying channel 2. The bottom surface of the narrowing section 31 gradually tilts toward one side. The width of the narrowing section 31 is less than the width of two plate-like materials 6 and greater than the width of one plate-like material 6. In this way, only one plate-like material 6 or a stack of plate-like materials 6 can pass through. As the stacked plate-like materials 6 move along the bottom surface of the narrowing section 31, the upper plate-like material 6 gradually tilts and flips outward as the bottom surface of the narrowing section 31 changes, thereby achieving the effect of de-overlapping. It should be noted that the narrow end of the plate-like material 6 is more likely to enter the narrowing section 31.
[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the front and back material sorting mechanism 4 may include an upper protrusion provided on the bottom surface of the material sorting and conveying channel 2, and the top surface of the upper protrusion is an inclined guide surface. When the plate-like material 6 with the front side 61 facing downward passes through, it is flipped to have the front side 61 facing upward under the oblique push action of the guide surface. When the plate-like material 6 with the front side 61 facing upward passes through, due to the lifting effect of the nail portion 63, the plate-like material 6 is not affected by the oblique push action of the guide surface, that is, the plate-like material 6 with the front side 61 facing upward can keep the front side 61 facing upward as it passes through the upper protrusion.
[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 may include a guide bar 51 and a blowing assembly 52, the guide bar 51 is arranged on the bottom surface of the material sorting and conveying channel 2, so that the material sorting and conveying channel 2 forms a single-row channel groove for a single plate material 6 on both sides of the guide bar 51, and the feed end of one of the single-row channel grooves is provided with an upper protrusion, which is used to make the plate material 6 with the front 61 facing downward flip to another single-row channel groove when passing through, and through size design, the plate material 6 with the head facing forward is conveyed forward along the other single-row channel groove, so that a nail portion 63 at the rear end of the plate material 6 with the tail facing forward is located in one single-row channel groove, and the other nail portions 63 are located in the other single-row channel groove; the blowing assembly 52 is arranged above the discharge end of the single-row channel groove, and when the plate material 6 with the tail facing forward passes through the blowing assembly 52, the blowing assembly 52 blows air to the plate material 6, so that the plate material 6 with the tail facing forward is turned to face the head forward.
[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the overlapping material sorting mechanism 3, the front and back material sorting mechanism 4 and the head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 may also be other mechanisms that can meet the requirements.
[0047] Example 2:
[0048] A method for arranging and sorting plate-shaped materials, using the plate-shaped material arranging and sorting device of embodiment 1, comprises the following steps:
[0049] S1, the material sorting hopper 1 sorts the plate-shaped material 6 and transports the plate-shaped material 6 to the material sorting and conveying channel 2 through the discharge port;
[0050] S2. The plate-shaped material 6 is conveyed forward along the material sorting and conveying passage 2. It is first separated into single layers by the overlapping material sorting mechanism 3 and then flipped by the front and back material sorting mechanism 4 so that the front and back directions are consistent (for example, the front side 61 faces upward. Here, the plate-shaped material 6 is required to face the front side 61 upward. For materials of other shapes, the back side 62 may face upward). Finally, it is turned by the head-to-tail material sorting mechanism 5 so that the head and tail directions are consistent (for example, the head side faces forward. Here, the plate-shaped material 6 is required to face the head side forward. For materials of other shapes, the tail side may face forward).
[0051] S3, the material conveying channel 2 outputs the plate-shaped material 6 that has passed the material sorting.
[0052] This plate-like material sorting method utilizes a plate-like material sorting device and possesses all the advantages of a plate-like material sorting device. The overlapping material sorting mechanism 3, the front and back material sorting mechanism 4, and the head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the material sorting conveying channel 2. The plate-like material 6 is first separated into a single layer for conveying by the overlapping material sorting mechanism 3 to avoid overlapping conveying. The plate-like material 6 is then flipped by the front and back material sorting mechanism 4 so that the front and back orientations are consistent, facilitating subsequent turning operations by the head and tail material sorting mechanism 5. The head and tail material sorting mechanism 5 then turns the material so that the head and tail orientations are consistent. Finally, the plate-like material 6 with the consistent orientations is conveyed by the material sorting conveying channel 2. This satisfies the material sorting requirements for plate-like materials 6 with special shapes. Furthermore, the material sorting efficiency is high and the labor intensity is low.
[0053] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the present invention, utilize the technical content disclosed above to make many possible changes and modifications to the present invention, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent variations.
