AI Technical Summary
The lack of effective batch testing methods in the current technology to screen out substandard springs leads to a decrease in mass and elastic potential energy when the number of spring coils is reduced.
The spring sorting device, which uses a rotary weighing screening system, sends springs to the sorting tray via a feeding conveyor. It then uses evenly distributed storage bins and weighing sensors for quality sorting. Qualified and unqualified springs are transported by different conveyors, achieving automatic sorting.
This technology enables efficient screening of spring quality, ensuring that springs meet quality standards, improving elastic potential energy, and enhancing sorting efficiency and accuracy.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a spring sorting device, belonging to the field of spring processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A spring is a mechanical part that works by utilizing elasticity. It is typically used to store and release energy, or as a component for shock absorption, cushioning, and motion control. Springs are sorted based on requirements such as magnetism, mass, and elastic potential energy.
[0003] For example, patent application number 201820134186.3, patent application title is a force value detection device for an upper-mounted spring sorting machine, which effectively solves the problem that the sensor is installed at the bottom of the lower pressure plate, and the lower pressure plate and the worktable are easily blocked by shot-peened steel balls, dust and debris, resulting in inaccurate force value detection by the load sensor.
[0004] For example, patent application number CN202322613466.6, entitled "A Spring Sorting Machine," discloses that the spring sorting machine includes: a base part, the base part including: a substrate, the substrate being a plate body with a feeding port on the substrate; a platform, the platform being disposed on the substrate and having a receiving space for accommodating the spring to be tested; a force measuring part, the force measuring part being disposed above the platform and having a degree of freedom of movement, switching between two states: contacting the spring to be tested and moving away from the spring; a pushing part, the pushing part being located on one side of the platform to push the spring away from the receiving space and into the feeding port on the substrate; and a discharge part; achieving the technical effect of detecting and sorting various types of springs.
[0005] Reducing the number of coils in a spring directly decreases its mass and elastic potential energy. However, the above technical solution does not involve batch testing of springs using a rotating detection method to screen out substandard springs.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides a spring sorting device for weighing and screening springs by rotating a wheel. Utility Model Content

[0012] The sorting disc includes several storage compartments, a compartment cover at the bottom of the storage compartment, a cylinder for controlling the opening and closing of the compartment cover, and a weighing sensor mounted on the compartment cover.
[0013] As a further improvement, the storage compartments are evenly and equidistantly distributed around the sorting tray.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of a spring sorting device, including a feeding conveyor 10;
[0031] The sorting disk 20 and the motor 30 are connected in the middle to the sorting disk 20, so as to drive the sorting disk 20 to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise.
[0032] Several second conveyors 40 are located at the bottom of the sorting disc 20 and convey the sorted materials.
[0033] This invention uses a feeding conveyor 10 to transport the springs to be tested to the top of the sorting tray 20, and accurately drop them into the sorting tray 20 for sorting. After sorting, qualified springs are transported out through one of the second conveyors 40, and unqualified springs are transported out through the other second conveyor 40, thus realizing the quality sorting of springs.
[0034] The sorting disk 20 includes several storage compartments 201, a compartment cover 202 at the bottom of the storage compartment 201, a cylinder 203 for controlling the opening and closing of the compartment cover 202, and a weighing sensor 204 mounted on the compartment cover 202.
[0035] It also includes a controller 60, located at the top of the horizontal part 501 of the frame 50, which is connected to the weighing sensor 204, the motor 30, and the cylinder 203.
[0036] Specifically, the bin cover 202 and the bottom surface of the sorting disk 20 are rotatably connected by a hinge, the cylinder 203 is fixed at the center of the bottom surface of the sorting disk 20, and the output end of the cylinder 203 is fixed to the bottom surface of the bin cover 202.
[0037] The springs that fall into the storage bin 201 of the sorting tray 20 are weighed by the weighing sensor 204, and the signal is transmitted to the controller 60. After the controller 60 processes the information, it controls the rotation angle of the sorting tray 20 so that the qualified or unqualified springs fall onto the second conveyor 40 and are transported out respectively.
[0038] As a further structural design of the sorting disc 20, the storage bins 201 are evenly and equidistantly distributed around the sorting disc 20, and both the sorting disc 20 and the storage bins are polygons. As the sorting disc 20 rotates, different storage bins 201 are changed to realize the assembly line weighing of springs and sort out springs that are qualified or unqualified.
[0039] The motor 30 output end and the sorting disk 20 are detachably and fixedly connected in the middle, and different specifications and sizes of sorting disks 20 can be replaced to accommodate springs of different specifications.
[0040] The cover 202 includes a cover body 221, with a plurality of weighing sensors 204 embedded in the cover body 221; and a first layer plate 222 disposed on the cover body 221.
[0041] In one specific embodiment, the thickness of the first layer 222 is no more than 0.5cm, so that the weight of the spring acts on the weighing sensor 204 more quickly, improving the response speed, shortening the time used for signal transmission, and making the weighing of items smoother.
[0042] In one specific embodiment, the system also includes a frame 50 for fixing the motor 30. The frame 50 includes a horizontal part 501 and a vertical part 502 that are fixed to each other perpendicularly. The motor 30 is mounted on the top of the horizontal part 501, and the output end of the motor 30 passes vertically through the horizontal part 501 and is fixed to the sorting disk 20. The frame 50 extends out from the edge of the sorting disk 20. When feeding, the material can be fed smoothly, and the discharge height is relatively low, making it less likely to bounce off. The material will fall smoothly onto the second conveyor.
[0043] In one specific embodiment, the vertical height of the sorting disk 20 is 5-15cm. Selecting a sorting disk 20 with a suitable height is suitable for springs of different specifications. The smaller the spring, the lower the vertical height of the sorting disk 20. The lower the height, the lower the overall weight of the sorting disk 20, and the faster the rotation.
[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
