The four sets of fixed ring plates 17 are stacked, with the top of one set of fixed ring plates 17 fixedly connected to the bottom of the second guide plate 15. The spring products are sorted and discharged through the sorting structure. The first guide plate 13 is protected by the protective pad 14 , and the spring product is conveyed to the inside of the second guide plate 15 through the first guide plate 13 , and then conveyed to the inside of the fixed circular plate 16 through the second guide plate 15 .

[0034] Specific as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the sorting unit also includes a servo motor 24 fixedly mounted on the bottom of a set of fixed circular plates 16. Each of the four sets of fixed circular plates 16 has a set of holes formed inside, in which a rotating shaft 19 is rotatably mounted. The output shaft of the servo motor 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 19 via a coupling. When the servo motor 24 is activated, the rotating shaft 19 rotates, which in turn rotates the material selection plate 20 to select the products.

[0035] Specific as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the sorting part also includes a material-dividing plate 20 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 19. There are four groups of material-dividing plates 20. A group of material-dividing plates 20 is provided on the top of each group of fixed circular plates 16, and three groups of first screening holes 21 are opened at the bottom of a group of fixed circular plates 16.

[0036] Specific as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the sorting section also includes three sets of second screening holes 22 at the bottom of one set of fixed circular plates 16, three sets of third screening holes 23 at the bottom of another set of fixed circular plates 16, and first openings 18 evenly spaced on one side of the outer wall of each of the four sets of fixed ring plates 17. A feed box 25 is fixedly mounted within each of the first openings 18. The first screening holes 21, second screening holes 22, and third screening holes 23 separate the spring products into four groups based on size.

[0037] According to the above conclusions, by fixing the table plate 10, table legs 11, spiral spring machine 12, first guide plate 13, protective pad 14, second guide plate 15, fixed circular plate 16, fixed ring plate 17, first opening groove 18, rotating shaft 19, material shifting plate 20, first screening hole 21, second screening hole 22, third screening hole 23, servo motor 24 and feed box 25, the purpose of size sorting and discharging of spring products is achieved, the convenience of using the device is improved, the manual sorting method is replaced, the work pressure of manual labor is reduced, the purpose of sorting while producing is achieved, and the processing efficiency of the spring is improved.

[0038] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the specific example is as follows Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a feed box 25 has an opening on one side of its outer wall, into which a feed pipe 26 is fixedly mounted. Four sets of storage boxes 27 are provided at the bottom of the fixed platform 10. One end of the feed pipe 26 is fixedly mounted inside the storage box 27. A hinged baffle 28 is hingedly mounted on one side of the outer wall of the storage box 27. Products are pushed into the feed pipe 26 through the feed box 25, where the sorted springs are stored. The products are then discharged by opening the hinged baffle 28.

[0039] According to the above conclusions, through the structure of the feed box 25, the feed pipe 26, the storage box 27 and the hinged baffle 28, the purpose of transporting and storing the sorted products is achieved, the efficiency of product transportation is improved, the efficiency of spring processing is improved, the convenience of using the device is improved, and the operating steps of the device are simplified.

[0040] Example 3: Based on Example 1 and Example 2, the specific example is as follows Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the feed box 25 has a first limiting groove 29 defined within it, and second limiting grooves 30 defined on the inner walls of both sides of the first limiting groove 29. Electric sliders 31 are slidably mounted within the second limiting grooves 30, and a first fixing plate 32 is disposed between the two sets of electric sliders 31. The first limiting grooves 29 and second limiting grooves 30 limit the movement range of the electric sliders 31, while the electric sliders 31 limit and secure the first fixing plate 32.

When the power supply box 35 is activated, it drives the electric slider 31 to move within the second limiting groove 30, driving the first curved plate 33 to move. The reciprocating motion of the push plate 34 transports the product inside the feed box 25 to the inside of the feed pipe 26.

[0042] To sum up, through the structure of the first limiting groove 29, the second limiting groove 30, the electric slider 31, the first fixed plate 32, the first curved plate 33, the pushing plate 34 and the power supply box 35, the products moved into the feed box 25 can be assisted in discharging, the sorting efficiency of the springs can be improved, the spring products can be prevented from being blocked inside the feed box 25, and the user experience of the device can be optimized.

[0043] Working Principle: The spiral spring machine 12 operates on top of the fixed platen 10, producing spring products. The products are then conveyed through the first guide plate 13. A protective pad 14 on the inner wall of the first guide plate 13 protects the products from scratches or damage. The products continue to slide onto the second guide plate 15, entering the initial stage of the sorting structure, which consists of a feeding section and a sorting section. The feeding section has completed product conveying as described above. The sorting section includes multiple layers of stacked fixed ring plates 17, which are connected by fixed circular plates 16. One set of fixed ring plates 17 is directly connected to the second guide plate 15. The servo motor 24 is activated, driving the rotating shaft 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the diverter plate 20. The diverter plate 20 is used to divert the spring products that fall into the fixed circular plate 16, dispersing them and screening them through the screening holes. The products are distributed into different levels or channels according to size through the first screening holes 21, the second screening holes 22, and the third screening holes 23. This design enables automatic sorting based on product size, with the sorted products falling into their corresponding feed boxes 25. Each feed box 25 is equipped with a feed pipe 26 on one side, the other end of which is connected to a storage box 27 located at the bottom of the fixed table 10. When the products in the storage box 27 accumulate to a certain amount, the hinged baffle 28 can be opened for discharge. To improve discharge efficiency, an automatic pushing mechanism consisting of an electric slider 31, a first fixed plate 32, a first curved plate 33, and a push plate 34 is designed inside the feed box 25. Power is supplied by the power supply box 35, and the electric slider 31 moves in the second limit slot 30, driving the first fixed plate 32 and the first curved plate 33 and push plate 34 below to reciprocate back and forth, thereby continuously pushing the products in the feed box 25 into the feed pipe 26 and then into the storage box 27.

[0044] It is understood that the present invention is described by way of certain embodiments, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes or equivalent substitutions may be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Furthermore, under the guidance of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to suit specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
