DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides a fully automatic three-way material dividing device. Figure 1-3 The structural schematic diagrams of the fully automatic three-way material dividing device in three different states are shown respectively.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fully automatic three-way material dividing device includes a fixed block 15, the front end of the fixed block 15 is fixedly connected to a support plate 1 with a low front and a high rear, and the upper end face of the support plate 1 is an inclined surface; the upper end of the support plate 1 is provided with a dividing plate 1 4 and a dividing plate 2 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the material dividing plate 1 4 and the material dividing plate 2 5 are located on the upper end surface of the support plate 1 at the same time, the material dividing plate 1 4 and the material dividing plate 2 5 are in an inclined state with the front lower and the back higher at the same time, and the upper end surface of the material dividing plate 2 5 is flush with the upper end surface of the material dividing plate 1 4 and is in contact with each other on the left and right sides, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 、 3 shown.

[0031] The fixed block 15 can be used to connect with other devices, so that the entire device is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor belt outlet. Specifically, the conveyor belt outlet is located on the upper rear side of the material separation plate 2 5. Various products fall from the conveyor belt into the material separation device, which is used to sort the products. The three different types of products detected can be sent to different collection locations (such as the next station or a regular material box) respectively. The specific discharge location can be set and adjusted according to the specific scene in the production process.

[0032] In this embodiment, a dividing rod 6 extending forward and backward is provided on the side of the dividing plate 2 5 at the upper end of the dividing plate 1 4, and a rotary actuator 12 is connected to the front end of the dividing rod 6 to drive the dividing rod 6 to swing left and right. In this embodiment, the rotary actuator 12 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 1, and passes through the support plate 1 and is connected to the end of the dividing rod 6 above the support plate 1. Driven by the rotary actuator 12, the dividing rod 6 can simultaneously swing left and right at the upper end surface of the dividing plate 2 5 at the upper end of the dividing plate 1 4. When the dividing rod 6 swings to the right, it can be in a position as shown in FIG. Figure 1 In the state shown, the whole is located at the upper end of the dividing plate 4 close to the right side of the dividing plate 2 5. At this time, the first product that falls into the upper end surface of the dividing plate 2 5 will be blocked by the dividing rod 6, and roll down from the drop-out port on the front side of the dividing plate 2 5 and enter the regular material box located below the front side of the dividing plate 2 5, but cannot enter the upper end surface of the dividing plate 4.

[0033] When the material distribution rod 6 swings to the left, it can be in the following state: Figure 3 In the state shown, at this time, the upper end of the dividing rod 6 is in contact with the baffle 21, and the second product falling into the upper end surface of the dividing plate 2 5 will roll along the right side wall of the dividing rod 6, fall from the drop-out port on the front side of the dividing plate 1 4, and finally enter the regular material box located below the front side of the dividing plate 1 4.

[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, a through slot is provided below the material distribution plate 2 5 on the support plate 1, and the lower end of the material distribution plate 2 5 is connected to a push cylinder 14 that drives the material distribution plate 2 5 to move up and down; the lower end of the support plate 1 is also connected to a protective cover 3; the push cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 3, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the protective cover 3 blocks the rear side, left side and right side of the push cylinder 14.

[0035] In this embodiment, a connecting block 8 is connected to the left and right side walls of the protective cover 3 respectively. The connecting block 8 is provided with an arc-shaped sliding groove extending along the longitudinal direction. Figure 2 、 4 The lower end of the material distribution plate 2 5 is also fixedly connected to two push rods 13, and the lower end of each push rod 13 is provided with a cam follower 9, and each cam follower 9 is slidably connected to an arc-shaped slide groove.

[0036] During the process of the push cylinder 14 pushing the material distribution plate 2 5 to move, the cam follower 8 slides along the arc chute. In this embodiment, the two push rods 13 are distributed parallel to each other.

[0037] The moving end of the push cylinder 14 passes through the slotted hole upwards and is hinged to the lower end of the material distribution plate 2 5. The specific hinge structure is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the U-shaped clamp accessory 10 is connected to the lower end of the material distribution plate 2 5, the double joint 11 is connected to the upper end of the piston rod of the push cylinder 14, and the U-shaped clamp accessory 10 and the double joint 11 are movably connected.

[0038] At the same time, driven by the pushing cylinder 14, the material distribution plate 2 5 can be pushed upwards and is in a horizontal position. Figure 2 In the state shown, in this state, the third product falling into the upper end surface of the material distribution plate 2 5 will not roll off automatically. However, we can take away the third product by the discharge mechanism located at the upper end.

[0039] Through the above structure, the entire sorting device can change its structure in time according to the different types of products that are about to be dropped and be in the corresponding state in advance. This device can be used to sort three different products on the production line, and different products can be sorted from different directions into different positions (such as different regular boxes).

[0040] Specifically, the unloading mechanism unloads the third product from the upper end surface of the dividing plate 2 5, while the first product and the second product can fall through the drop-out port on the front side of the dividing plate 2 5 and the drop-out port on the front side of the dividing plate 1 4 respectively to complete the sorting and unloading. In this way, the purpose of sorting out the three screened products and entering different collection positions can be achieved.

[0041] In this embodiment, the unloading mechanism includes a material grabbing assembly and a translation assembly that drives the material grabbing assembly to move forward and backward. Specifically, the material grabbing assembly includes a connecting rod 17 extending left and right and a cylinder 16; one end of the connecting rod 17 is provided with a clamping claw 18 located above the material distribution plate 5, and the front end of the piston rod of the cylinder 16 extends toward the direction of the clamping claw 18, and the front end of the piston rod of the cylinder 16 is provided with a clamping claw 19; the translation assembly is a cylinder 20 connected to the connecting rod 17 that drives the connecting rod 17 to move forward and backward. Specifically, Figure 1-3 In this embodiment, a cylinder is used as the power component in the unloading mechanism, which is relatively low-cost and controllable compared to a manipulator.

[0042] In this embodiment, driven by cylinder 2 16, clamp 2 19 can move horizontally left and right toward clamp 1 18. After clamp 18 moves toward clamp 2 19, the two can cooperate to clamp the third product on the dividing plate 2 5 (at this time the dividing plate 2 5 is in a horizontal state). Then, driven by cylinder 1 20, the connecting rod 17, clamp 18, clamp 2 19 and cylinder 2 16 move forward as a whole to the designated position on the front side of the dividing plate 2 5. Clamp 2 19 moves to the right to reset, which can release the third product and make it fall down and enter the regular box below.

[0043] Figure 1-3 It is only a structural diagram. The transmission distance of cylinder 1 20 can be set according to actual production needs. For example, the transmission of cylinder 1 20 can be lengthened so that the third product can be moved to a farther position in front of the dividing plate 2 5 after being clamped.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting plate 2 is further included, which is fixedly connected to both the fixing block 15 and the protective cover 3, and the upper end of the connecting plate 2 is supported on the lower end of the support plate 1. The fixing connection between the protective cover 3 and the fixing block 15 is achieved through the connecting plate 2.

[0045] At the same time, during the actual sorting process, the push cylinder 14, rotary actuator 12, cylinder 1 20, and cylinder 2 16 are all connected to the control system, which can achieve better coordination and automated sorting operations. During operation, before the product on the conveyor belt located above the rear side of the sorting plate 2 5 enters the upper end of the sorting plate 2 5, the previous station transmits different signals through the sensor to detect the type of product that is about to fall in, that is, to determine whether it is the first product to be sorted, the second product, or the third product. The operating system will control the sorting device to adjust the state and operate each component according to the different products that are about to fall into the sorting plate 2 5, so that each detected product is sent to the designated position according to the designated path, thereby completing the sorting operation.

[0046] The utility model can perform material sorting operations on a variety of products and realize rapid sorting in three directions. It is simple to operate, easy to use, reduces labor intensity, and solves the problems of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual sorting and high cost of using a robot for sorting.
