When the material is good, the material dividing drive mechanism 4 drives the good product linear mechanism 5 to collect the material, and collects the good material into the material box of the manipulator mechanism 7 on the good product linear mechanism 5. When the material is defective, the material dividing drive mechanism 4 drives the defective product linear mechanism 6 to collect the material, and collects the defective material into the material box of the manipulator mechanism 7 on the defective product linear mechanism 6.

[0039] The conveying assembly 2 is used to convey the material box to a position where the robot mechanism 7 can grasp it;

[0040] The collecting assembly 3 includes: a good product rack 8 and a defective product rack 9;

[0041] The good material rack 8 is used to collect the material boxes filled with good material, and the defective material rack 9 is used to collect the material boxes filled with defective material.

[0042] The empty material box is placed on the conveying component 2, and the conveying component 2 conveys the material box to a position where the robot mechanism 7 can grab it. The good product linear mechanism 5 and the defective product linear mechanism 6 are driven to move by the material dividing drive mechanism 4, so that the two robot mechanisms 7 each grab an empty material box. When the material to be collected is good, the material dividing drive mechanism 4 drives the good product linear mechanism 5 to the collection position, and the material box on the good product linear mechanism 5 collects the material; when the material to be collected is defective, the material dividing drive mechanism 4 drives the defective product linear mechanism 6 to the collection position, and the material box on the defective product linear mechanism 6 collects the material.

[0043] When the material box on the good product linear mechanism 5 is full of collected materials, the material dividing drive mechanism 4 moves the good product linear mechanism 5 to the good product material rack 8, the good product linear mechanism 5 drives the manipulator mechanism 7 to above the good product material rack 8, and the manipulator mechanism 7 places the material box filled with materials on the good product material rack 8; when the material box on the defective product linear mechanism 6 is full of collected materials, the material dividing drive mechanism 4 moves the defective product linear mechanism 6 to the defective product material rack 9, the defective product linear mechanism 6 drives the manipulator mechanism 7 to above the defective product material rack 9, and the manipulator mechanism 7 places the material box filled with materials on the defective product material rack 9.

The good product linear mechanism 5 and the defective product linear mechanism 6 are both arranged on the material dividing connecting plate 43 .

[0047] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, both the good linear mechanism 5 and the defective linear mechanism 6 include: a linear motor 51, a linear guide rail 52 and a linear push plate 53;

[0048] The linear guide rail 52 is provided on the material dividing connecting plate 43 , the linear push plate 53 is slidably provided on the linear guide rail 52 , the linear motor 51 is used to drive the linear push plate 53 to move on the linear guide rail 52 , and the manipulator mechanism 7 is provided on the linear push plate 53 .

[0049] The linear motor 51 drives the linear push plate 53 to move on the linear guide rail 52, which can move the robot mechanism 7 to the grabbing position of the material box of the conveying component 2, so that the robot mechanism 7 can grab the material box.

One end of the active clamp plate 72 is connected to the output end of the clamp cylinder 74 and the other end is arranged corresponding to the passive clamp plate 73. The clamp cylinder 74 is fixed on the clamp plate 71, and the clamp cylinder 74 is used to drive the active clamp plate 72 to move on the clamp opening.

[0052] The material box sensor 75 is disposed on the fixture plate 71 , and an output end of the material box sensor 75 is disposed toward the conveying assembly 2 . The material box sensor 75 is used to detect the position of the material box.

[0053] When the material box sensor 75 detects that the material box is in a position where the robot mechanism 7 can clamp it, the clamp cylinder 74 drives the active clamping plate 72 to move on the clamping plate opening of the clamp plate 71, and the active clamping plate 72 and the passive clamping plate 73 grab the material box.

[0054] like Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, the conveying assembly 2 includes: a conveying base plate 21, a conveying linear mechanism 22 and a limiting mechanism 23;

[0055] The conveying linear mechanism 22 is arranged on the conveying base plate 21, and the conveying linear mechanism 22 is used to drive the material box to move on the conveying base plate 21. The limiting mechanism 23 is arranged on the conveying base plate 21, and the limiting mechanism 23 is located at the end of the conveying linear mechanism 22. The limiting mechanism 23 is used to limit the material box from detaching from the conveying base plate 21 under the drive of the conveying linear mechanism 22.

[0056] The empty material box is placed on the conveying base plate 21, and the conveying linear mechanism 22 conveys the empty material box to the grabbing position of the robot mechanism 7. The limiting mechanism 23 is located at the end of the conveying of the conveying linear mechanism 22, and is used to prevent the material box from detaching from the conveying base plate 21 and preventing the material box from leaving the grabbing position of the robot mechanism 7.

[0057] In this embodiment, the conveying linear mechanism 22 can convey the material box in the form of a motor and belt conveyor, and the limiting mechanism 23 can be a baffle set on the conveying linear mechanism 22, which can only limit the material box to the grasping position of the robot mechanism 7.

In the process of moving the robot mechanism 7 to the material rack bottom plate 81, the linear push plate 53 will push the material box on the material rack bottom plate 81, so that the material box slides on the material box slide rail 82 toward the end of the material box slide rail 82, freeing up the position for placing the material box on the material rack bottom plate 81, and the robot mechanism 7 places the material box to the material box placement position.

[0064] Above, refer to Figures 1 to 9 A material sorting device according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.
