Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sorting equipment technology, and in particular relates to a sheet sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing workpiece conveying processes, the common practice for sorting different types of workpieces is to detach the workpieces from the conveying device (such as a lifting transfer machine) and then use a mechanism to push the moving workpieces out. This method is very practical in situations where the workpieces are heavy and the cycle time requirement is slow.
[0003] Traditional sorting equipment includes air-blowing sorting equipment and gripping sorting robots. Air-blowing sorting equipment uses high-speed airflow to remove lightweight materials to achieve sorting. In existing technologies, air outlets are set at the output end to blow the detected items to a distant position to achieve separation of landing points and complete sorting. However, the sorting structure in the existing technology has the technical problem of overlapping landing points of sorted items, which affects the sorting effect. Utility Model Content
